Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2016;23(3):172-177
Objective The purpose of the study was to investigate the causes of hemoptysis and ex-plore the diagnostic procedures for hemoptysis in children. Methods The medical records of 42 children with hemoptysis admitted to the Respiratory Department of Hunan Children′s Hospital from June 2012 to June 2015 were collected by a retrospective study. The causes of hemoptysis were classified by pathogenesis,and the diagnosis of hemoptysis was evaluated in this study. The final diagnosis was divided into clear diagnosis and the cause was unknown. Results A total of 41(97. 6%) cases were diagnosed,1(2. 4%) case was not diagnosed. In 42 cases of hemoptysis,infection was the main cause of the disease,including 8(19. 0%) cases of pneumonia and 5(11. 9%) cases of bronchitis,and the following causes were bronchial artery fistula(10/42,23. 8%),idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis(8/42,19. 0%),bronchiectasis(5/42,11. 9%),pulmonary vascular malformation with pulmonary hypertension(3/42,7. 2%),pulmonary tuberculosis(2. 4%),bronchi-al foreign body(1/42,2. 4%) respectively. Thirteen cases of respiratory tract infection,and 5 cases of bron-chiectasis were diagnosed by chest CT,10 cases with pulmonary artery fistula were diagnosed by digital sub-traction angiography,8 cases of pulmonary hemosiderosis,1 case of pulmonary tuberculosis,and 1 case with bronchial foreign body were diagnosed by fiberoptic bronchoscopy. Three cases of pulmonary vascular malfor-mation and pulmonary hypertension were diagnosed by row helical CT angiography and cardiac color ultra-sound. Conclusion Hemoptysis in children is a heterogeneous group of respiratory disorders. Most causes could be identified by using the diagnostic procedures. Other factors, including medical history, CT, fiber bronchoscopy,multidetector CT angiography, cardiac color ultrasound and digital subtraction angiography, play important roles in the diagnosis of hemoptysis in children.

BACKGROUND: Medical order-obeying behavior(MOOB) in patients with essential hypertension(EH) cau directly affect the progression and prognosis of the disease. What factors, in turn, affect MOOB?OBJECTIVE:To analyze factors affecting MOOB in EH patients.DESIGN: Cross-sectional study.SETTING: Foreign Guests Ward of Qindu Stomatological Hospital, Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: A total of 205 patients with EH were admitted into the Foreign Guests Ward of Qindu Stomatological Hospital, Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from January 1998 to August 2000. Inclusion criteria: In accordance with WHO diagnostic criteria for hypertension. Exclusion criteria: Diabetes and other cardiovascular diseases. Altogether 164 patients with the mean age of (51 ± 5) years, 122 men and 42 women , accorded to the inclusion criteria.METHODS: The 164 patients were investigated with the self-designed questionnaire concerning MOOB in EH patients; patients' sex, educational level, family economic conditions, disease duration and other factors affecting MOOB were observed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Factors related to the patients' MOOB.RESULTS:53.0% (87/164) patients followed the medical orders and persisted in exercise therapy, 58.5 % ( 96 / 164 ) patients followed reasonable diet, 51.6% (32/164)patients quitted smoking and alcohol drinking, 82. 3% (135/164) received regular recheck-up, 64.6% (106/164) followed the medicinal treatment prescribed. Sex did not influence MOOB significantly. The rate of medical-order disobedience was higher in illiterate people and those with education below junior middle school level, but lower in those with education above senior middle school level(x2 =7.25, P < 0.01) . The disobedience rate was lower in patients with the mean income of > 500 yuan/month than in those with < 500 yuan/month(x2 = 39.4, P < 0.01),and was also lower in patients with disease duration < 1 year than those with disease duration > 1 year (x2 =5.66, P < 0.05).CONCLUSION; Medical order-obeying behavior in EH patients is poor, and it is significantly influenced by patients' educational level, family economic conditions and disease duration.

AIM: To study the effect of high fat diet on the expression of sterol regulatory element biding protein-1 (SREBP-1) and transforming growth factor β_1 (TGF-β_1) in renal tubular cells and rosiglitazone intervention. METHODS: Wistar rats were treated with high fat diet and rosiglitazone for 3 months. The serum glucose, serum insulin and serum triglyceride were detected. Oil Red O staining was used to observe the renal lipid deposit and Masson staining was for the detection of ECM accumulation. SREBP-1, TGF-β_1 and FN protein were determined by the methods of immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. SREBP-1 mRNA was detected by in situ hybridization. RESULTS: Rosiglitazone prevented effectively the increase in serum glucose, serum insulin and serum triglyceride resulted from high fat diet. High fat diet led to lipid droplet formation in renal tubular cells and interstitial ECM accumulation, which was decreased by rosiglitazone treatment. Compared to normal rats, SREBP-1 protein and SREBP-1 mRNA showed high expressions in high fat diet rats that were lowered by rosiglitazone. The precursor segment and mature segment of SREBP-1 protein were decreased by 27.39% and 27.32%. Similarly, the high expressions of TGF-β_1 and FN protein in kidney of high fat diet rats were also prevented by rosiglitazone intervention. Compared to high fat diet rats, the expression of TGF-β_1 in rosiglitazone treatment rats was lowered by 19.14%. CONCLUSION: Rosiglitazone prevents effectively the over-expression of SREBP-1 and TGF-β_1 in renal tubular cells, and decreases lipid accumulation and ECM production in rats fed with high fat diet.

Objective This study aims to investigate the association of apoB/apoA-1 ratio with insulin resistance (IR) in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) . Methods A total of 224 patients with NAFLD and 166 healthy subjects were enrolled as NAFLD group and control group. Weight, height and blood pressure were recorded. Serum levels of fasting blood glucose (FPG), insulin (Fins), lipids, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were measured. Homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) indices were calculated. Results Compared with control group, NAFLD group had higher apoB/apoA-1 ratio (0.76 ± 0.28 vs 0.61 ± 0.26) and HOMA-IR (2.43 ± 1.68 vs 1.86 ± 1.61) . Spearman correlation analysis showed that in NAFLD group, HOMA-IR positively correlated with age, body mass index (BMI), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), apoB/apoA-1 ratio (r =0.34, P < 0. 05) and HbA1c, and negatively correlated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) . Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that apoB/apoA-1 ratio was still associated with HOMA-IR in NAFLD group after adjustment for age and BMI. Conclusion The apoB/apoA-1 ratio is closely associated with IR in patients with NAFLD. ApoB/apoA-1 ratio may play a role in the development of IR in NAFLD.
