OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Azithromycin combined with Xiaoer xiaoji zhike oral so-lution in the treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia in children. METHODS:Data of 120 children with mycoplasma pneumonia were retrospectively analyzed and divided into observation group (63 cases) and control group (57 cases) by different treatment meth-ods. All children received conventional treatment(reducing fever,relieving cough and resolving phlegm). Based on it,control group received Azithromycin 10 mg/kg,intravenous infusion,once a day,after continuous infusion of 3 d,it stopped 4 d. Observation group additionally received Xiaoer xiaoji zhike oral solution,10 ml for children younger than 5 years old,15 ml for children in 5 years old or over,3 times a day. 1-week was regarded as 1 treatment course,and it lasted for 2-3 courses. Clinical efficacy in 2 group was observed,recovery time of clinical signs,reduction of the number of inflammatory cells before and after treatment were compared,and the incidence of adverse reactions during treatment was recorded. RESULTS:After treatment,the total effective rate in observation group was significantly higher than control group,fever clearance time,disappearance time of cough,rales and pulmonary lesions were significantly shorter than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Before treatment,there was no significant difference in the number of eosinophils and serum C reactive protein (CRP) level (P>0.05). After 1 week treat-ment,the number of eosinophils and CRP level in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,and observation group was signifi-cantly lower than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). And there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Azithromycin combined with Xiaoer xiaoji zhike oral solution shows good efficacy in the treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia in children,it can shorten the duration of clinical symptoms,improve the level of in-flammatory cells,and does not increase the incidence of adverse reactions.

OBJECTIVETo compare the efficacy differences in the treatment of somatoform pain disorder between resuscitation and tranquilization acupuncture technique and oral administration of deanxit.

METHODSForty cases of somatoform pain disorder (complicated with mild and moderate depression) were randomized into an acupuncture group and a western medication group, 20 cases in each one. In the acupuncture group. acupuncture was applied to Shenting (GV 24). Shuigou (V 26). Sishencong (EX HN I) to Baihui ((V 20) (penetrating technique). Feng-chi (GB 20). etc. The treatment was given once every day. 6 times a week. In the western medication group. the anti depression drug. deanxit was prescribed for oral administration, 1 tablet in every morning and lunchtime each day. In 8 weeks of continuous treatment, the visual analogue scale (VAS) and Hamilton depression scale 17 items (HAMD) were used to evaluate the efficacy in the patients of the two groups, the adverse reactions were observed and the recurrence rate was followed up in 3 months.

RESULTSAfter treatment. VAS and HIIAMD scores were all apparently reduced as compared with those before treatment in the patients of the two groups (all P<0.05). The reducing amplitude of VAS score in the acupuncture group was greater than that in the western medication group (P<0.05) and that of HAM) score was not different significantly as compared with that in the western mnedica tion group (P > 0.05). There was no adverse reaction in the acupuncture group and were 3 cases as dizziness, trembling. dry mouth and constipation in the western medication group. The curative and remarkably effective rate was 50.0 (10(20)) in the acupuncture group, better than 15.0% (3/20) in the western medication group (P<0.05). The recurrence rate was 10.0 (2/20) in the acupuncture group. lower than 35.0% (7/20) in the western medication group (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe resuscitation and tranquilization acupuncture technique achieves the definite efficacy on somatoform pain disorder, relieves depression symptoms of patients, especially pain and reduces adverse reactions and recurrence rate. The effects of this therapy are advanced as compared with deanxit.

Objective To detect the impact of ultrasound elastography in diagnosis of prostatic cancer,and to evaluate its capability in differentiating benign from malignant lesions.Methods From June 2013 to February 2015, we selected 50 patients with different prostatic lesions,and suspicious for malignancy were included.All patients had a conventional B-mode ultrasound examination and color Doppler imaging,and then real time ultrasound elastography was performed in the same session.Finally,the results were compared to the histopathological results of those lesions. Results The addition of Strain ratio parameter for evaluating the elastography images showed the highest sensitivity of 74.2%,specificity of 73.7% and accuracy of 74.0% at a best cut off point of 5.5 between benign and malignant lesions.Conclusion Prostate US combined with elastography can be a helpful tool for guiding malignant lesions.Also it can help in targeting the biopsy site.

Objective To discuss the effect of early comprehensive development mode on physical, intelligence and mental development of premature infants, and explore the feasibility of comprehensive development mode of preterm infants generally applied in child care clinic. Methods 90 cases of premature infants in intervention group from the beginning of the hospital before the intervention, continuous monitoring and comprehensive intervention including general system health, parenting guidance, family activities, growth monitoring, intelligence assessment, individualized instruction, and so on, for the timely correction of the anomalies. The 90 infants in the control group were only given conventional child health care after 1 month of corrected age. Results The nervous system abnormalities were detected 192 person-times in control group, while 129 person-times in intervention group at 3 months old, the detected rate of nervous system anomaly was higher in the control group than that in the intervention group (χ2=14.574, P=0.000). The body length of the intervention group was (74.31± 2.34) cm, the control group was (72.82 ± 2.13) cm. The body weight of the intervention group was (9.42 ± 0.93) kg, the control group was (8.11 ± 0.90) kg at 12 months old. The growth of weight and length of intervention group were higher than those of control group. The difference was statistically significant ( t=4.467, 9.602, P < 0.05). The development quotient was also assessed, the big activity sport, fine motor, adaptability, social behavior, development quotient of intervention group were (96.40±7.83) points, (95.45± 7.87) points, (98.33±10.87) points, (105.65±7.51) points, (101.45±7.36) points, and the control group were (92.53±6.57) points, (89.27±8.02) points, (94.26±9.88) points, (100.31±8.13) points, (95.65±6.93) points. The difference was statistically significant (t=2.628-5.443, P < 0.05). Conclusions Application of integrated early childhood development in premature infants can find early neurodevelopmental deviations of children and contribute to early intervention on premature infants. Using a combination of family and outpatient intervention may reduce the incidence of neurological abnormalities, improve the level of development of the intelligence assessment and promote premature infant intelligence, motor development and social adaptation ability.
