Syncope is a common emergency condition,which can cause harmful danger to the physical and mental health,quality of living and learning of children.Even,syncope -related body traumatic injuries and anxiety and depression often occur in these children,and some have a high risk of sudden death.So,early diagnosis is of great sig-nificance.Head -up tilt table test is considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of syncope,it plays a significant role in diagnosis,differential diagnosis,treatment and evaluation of therapeutic effects.

Objective: To investigate the occurrence of suspected adverse events following immunization (AEFI) in Wuyi County, Zheijang Province from 2018 to 2021, so as to provide insights into safety assessment of vaccination. Methods The AEFI data in Wuyi County from 2018 to 2021 were collected from the AEFI Information Management System and Immunization Information Management System of National Immunization Information Management System in China. The reported incidence of AEFI and epidemiological characteristics of cases with AEFI were analyzed in Wuyi County from 2018 to 2021 using a descriptive epidemiological method. Methods: The AEFI data in Wuyi County from 2018 to 2021 were collected from the AEFI Information Management System and Immunization Information Management System of National Immunization Information Management System in China. The reported incidence of AEFI and epidemiological characteristics of cases with AEFI were analyzed in Wuyi County from 2018 to 2021 using a descriptive epidemiological method. Results: A total of 870 007 vaccine doses had been administered in Wuyi County from 2018 to 2021, and a total of 482 AEFI were reported, with annual mean reported incidence of 55.40/105. The incidence of AEFI associated with vaccines included in the national immunization program was significantly higher than those not included in the national immunization program (67.75/105 vs. 44.00/105; χ2=20.334, P<0.001). There were 435 individuals with general reactions (50.00/105 incidence), with high fever, local redness and swelling and solid nodes; 39 cases with abnormal reactions (4.48/105 incidence), including 87.18% allergic reactions; 7 cases with coincident syndrome and one case with psychogenic reaction; however, no vaccine quality or vaccination events were reported. The five vaccines with the greatest incidence of AEFI included 13-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine (269.11/105), diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis, inactivated poliovirus and Haemophilus b conjugate vaccine (204.23/105), 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (175.85/105), tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis vaccine (128.39/105) and combined live vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella (124.36/105). The reported incidence rates of AEFI were 10.89/105, 49.88/105, 56.07/105 and 57.78/105 following oral, intradermal, subcutaneous and intramuscular administrations, respectively. In addition, AEFI were predominantly found to occur in patients at ages of 0 to <2 years (333 cases, 69.09%), and AEFI predominantly occurred <1 day following immunization (336 cases, 69.71%). Conclusions General reactions were predominant types of AEFI following vaccination in Wuyi County from 2018 to 2021, and the reported incidence of AEFI associated with vaccines included in the national immunization program was significantly higher than those not included in the national immunization program. AEFI mainly occurred among children under 2 years of age.

[Summary] Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide ( GIP) is known to promote the release of insulin fromβcells, but this function suffers from a defect in obese patients. More and more evidences suggest that GIP is the bridge between a high-fat diet, obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. With the deepening of research in GIP in type 2 diabetes and obesity, GIP may provide new ideas for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of repeated botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) treatment for Meige's syndrome in senile people. Methods Forty-eight senile patients with Meige's syndrome received BTX-A treatment for twelve times or over. The improvements of spasm were evaluated before and after the first, the sixth and the twelfth treatment according to Cohen's criteria. The onset time, effective duration and side effects were studied and compared among the three times treatments. Results The obvious effective rate of the three times treatment were all 100%. The average onset time of the three times treatments were (3.5± 1.7)days,(3.2±1.8)days and (3.3±1.9)days, and the average effective duration were (25.4±2.1)weeks,(24.6±2.3)weeks and (25.4±1.8)weeks, respectively. The incidences of side effects were 8. 3% (4/48), 6.3(3/48)%and 8.3%(4/48), respectively. All the differences were not statistically significant(P>0.05). Conclusions Repeated BTX-A treatment is an effective and safe method for Meige's syndrome in senile people.

In recent years, the systematic treatment of liver cancer has made significant progress, but surgical resection remains as main treatment to obtain long-term survival for patients with liver cancer. With the rapid development of liver surgery, the complexity of liver anatomy and surgical operation are no longer the main obstacles to liver surgery. The insufficient future liver remnant (FLR) after hepatectomy has become the main limit of liver surgery. In clinical practice, most patients with liver cancer cannot undergo one-stage radical resection and can only receive non-surgical treatment, with poor long-term prognosis. The associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) provides hope for the treatment of liver cancer patients with insufficient FLR. ALPPS can induce significant hypotrophy of the FLR in a short period of time, and the radical tumor resection rate is as high as 90% to 100%, which significantly improves the prognosis of patients. However, in the early stages of the practice, there were considerable controversies on the safety of the operation. In recent years, with the continuous advancement of technology, the safety of ALPPS has been greatly improved. The authors synthesize the latest literatures and elaborate on the latest progress of ALPPS.

Objective:To evaluate the biocompatibility of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-1) gene transfected bone marrow stem cells (MSCs) with ostrich true bone ceramic (OTBC). Methods:Rat MSCs were transfected with IGF-1 gene, and positive clones were selected by G418. The expression of IGF-1 protein in the MSCs was detected by immunocytochemical technique. The IGF-1 transfected MSCs were cultured with OTBC and the morphology of the cells was observed by scanning electronic microscope(SEM) at different time point. Results:Immunohistochemical staining suggested that the IGF-1 protein was expressed in the IGF-1 transfected MSCs. The cells adhered to OTBC and stretched well after 24 h of culture. The IGF-1 transfected MSCs proliferated on the surface of OTBC with culture time.Conclusion:The OTBC has a good biocompatibility with IGF-1 transfected MSCs.

Objective To investigate clinical features and risk factors for recurrent syncope in children with orthostatic intolerance.Methods Patients with orthostatic intolerance and syncope admitted in the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University from January 2014 to June 2015 were retrospectively analyzed by using t test,Chi -square test,and Fisher′s exact probability method.According to frequency of syncope,all cases were divided into 2 groups,the occasio-nal syncope group and the recurrent syncope group.All risk factors including age,gender,body mass index(BMI),in-ducement,the history of motion sickness,family history,syncope -related injuries,performance of head -up tilt table test,and outcomes of head -up tilt table test were studied statistically and compared within 2 different groups.Results A total of 83 cases were enrolled in this study.Among these children,33 cases(39.76%)were assigned as occasio-nal syncope group,in which 17 cases were male and 16 cases were female and the age ranged from 6 to 18 years with the average age of (9.70 ±2.87)years;50 cases(60.24%)were assigned as recurrent syncope group,in which 27 ca-ses were male and 23 cases were female and the age ranged from 6 to 18 years with the average age of (11.24 ±2.83) years.Of all the investigated risk factors,the BMI and the history of motion sickness were significantly different between 2 groups[(18.84 ±3.49)kg/m2 vs (18.16 ±3.68)kg/m2 ,t =4.82,P =0.001;39.39%(13 /33 cases)vs 70.00%(35 /50 cases),χ2 =7.64,P =0.006].No significant difference was found in age distribution(6 -9 years,10 -14 years,15 -18 years)between 2 groups(P =0.428).There were no significant differences in gender (male /female), family history,or syncope -related injuries between 2 groups[17 /16 cases vs 27 /23 cases;3.03%(1 /33 cases)vs 10.00%(5 /50 cases);15.15%(5 /33 cases)vs 20.00%(10 /50 cases),all P >0.05].And no significant difference was found in inducement (prolonged standing,body posture change,emotional stress/emotional stimuli,muggy environ-ment,movement)between 2 groups [78.79% (23 /33 cases)vs 72.00% (36 /50 cases);9.09% (3 /33 cases)vs 14.00%(7 /50 cases);3.03%(1 /33 cases)vs 6.00%(3 /50 cases);12.12% (4 /33 cases)vs 10.00% (5 /50 cases);3.03%(1 /33 cases)and 12.00%(6 /50 cases),all P >0.05].And performances of head -up tilt table test (blurred vision/blacked out,nausea/vomiting,sweating,dizzy/headache,palpation,anhelation /chest tightness,hot, weak)between 2 groups showed no significant differences[18.18%(6 /33 cases)vs 12.00%(6 /50 cases);36.36%(12 /33 cases)vs 50.00%(25 /50 cases);24.24%(8 /33 cases)vs 26.00%(13 /50 cases);51.52%(17 /33 cases) vs 58.00%(29 /50 cases);6.06%(2 /33 cases)vs 16.00%(8 /50 cases);27.27%(9 /33 cases)vs 22.00%(11 /33 cases);33.33%(11 /33 cases)vs 32.00%(16 /50 cases);12.12%(4 /33 cases)vs 16.00%(8 /50 cases),all P >0.05].Also there were no significant differences in outcomes of head -up tilt table test between 2 groups(P =0.589). Conclusions The risk factors for recurrent syncope in children with orthostatic intolerance were low BMI and the his-tory of motion sickness for such children,and more positive and effective clinical intervention can improve the living quality of children with orthostatic intolerance to some extent.

ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors for syncope in children with orthostatic intolerance (OI).Methods The clinical data from 136 children with OI were retrospectively analyzed. The children were divided into syncope group and non-syncope group based on the existence of syncope. Results Among the 136 children, 77 children (56.62%) had syncope and 59 children (43.38%) did not have syncope. The differences in BMI, prevalence of inducement of prolonged standing, prevalence of accompanied symptoms of blurred vision/ blacking out, cold sweating and pallor, prevalence of the history of motion sickness and blood flow velocity of MCA were statistically significant between two groups (P<0.05). Conclusions Children with OI who has low BMI, inducement of prolonged standing, accompanied symptoms of blurred vision/ blacking out, cold sweating and pallor, the history of motion sickness, and fast blood flow velocity of MCA, are prone to syncope.
