Objective To discuss the signiifcance of serum albumin level in assessing severity, progress and prognosis of sepsis in children. Methods The clinical data of 212 patients diagnosed with sepsis admitted to PICU from February 2010 to July 2010 were retrospectively analyzed, and 52 patients had severe sepsis and 31 patients had septic shock. Meanwhile, 110 non-sepsis patients were selected as controls. The relationships of hypoalbuminemia with pediatric critical illness score (PCIS), pediatric risk of mortality III (PRISM III) and prognosis were evaluated, and the change of albumin level in patients with dif-ferent severity of sepsis was observed. Relative factors analysis of albumin level ≤25 g/L was performed. Results As the serum albumin level was decreased, the PCIS was signiifcantly decreased while the PRISM III was increased (P<0.01). The se-rum albumin level was signiifcantly different among children with septic shock, severe sepsis and sepsis and controls (F=13.938, P=0.000). The results of relative factors analysis showed that sepsis children with an albumin level≤25 g/L had more organ failures, higher mortality, longer hospital and PICU stay and more likelihood for ventilator support (P<0.01). Lower albumin levels were accompanied with lower rates of recovery and improvement but higher mortality (rs=-0.161, P=0.000). Conclusions Hypoalbuminemia can be used as indirect indicator for severity of infection. The albumin level≤25 g/L indicated the severity of illness and prognosis in children with sepsis.

Objective To understand the depressive status of patients with HIV/AIDS and their family members in order to provide objective information for conducting psychological interventions among them. Method The Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) questionnaires were used for assessing the depressive status and the SPSS software was applied for data analysis. Results The SDS values among the patients with HIV/AIDS and the family members of died AIDS patients were significantly higher than those of healthy controls. The proportion of HIV/AIDS patients with medium to severe degree of depression was 15.5%, which was higher than that of healthy controls. The SDS values among female family members of HIV/AIDS patients were higher than those in male ones. Conclusion The depression is a negative psychological status usually occurred among the patients with HIV/AIDS and their family members, and the psychological interventions should be conducted based on the characteristics of different populations.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and application of bronchoalveolar lavage in chil-dren with severe pneumonia undergoing mechanical ventilation. Methods Using a prospective randomized controlled clinical study, 202 children with severe pneumonia received mechanical ventilation in Hunan Children′s Hospital from January 2016 to January 2018 were selected as the subjects. According to the digital method,all cases were divided into treatment group (101 cases) and control group (101 cases) randomly. The patients in the control group were given conventional treatment ( anti-infection and symptomatic thera-py) . The treatment group was treated with bronchoalveolar lavage on the basis of conventional treatment. The basic situation,the respiratory function before and after the treatment,the inflammation index,the curative effect and the prognosis of two groups were analyzed. Results There were no significant differences between the two groups in gender,age,course pre-admission,pediatric critical illness score,respiratory function and in-flammation index ( P>0. 05 ) . The respiratory function indexes of the treatment group were obviously im-proved 2 hours after the treatment and the PaO2 ,PaO2/FiO2 and SaO2 were significantly higher than those of the control group[PaO2:(82. 4 ± 6. 4) mmHg(1 mmHg=0. 133 kPa) vs. (74. 0 ± 5. 5) mmHg, PaO2/FiO2:(360. 2 ± 21. 3) mmHg vs. (332. 6 ± 23. 5) mmHg,SaO2:(94. 9 ± 8. 2)％ vs. (88. 6 ± 10. 3)％], while the PaCO2 were significantly lower than the control group [ ( 37. 3 ± 10. 3 ) mmHg vs. ( 45. 8 ± 5. 5 ) mmHg],and the differences were statistically significant (P<0. 05). Five days after treatment,the WBC, PCT and CRP of treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group[WBC:(8. 5 ± 2. 4) × 109/L vs. (11. 7 ± 3. 5) × 109/L,PCT:(1. 2 ± 0. 7) μg/L vs. (2. 3 ± 0. 9) μg/L,CRP:(9. 1 ± 3. 2) mg/L vs. (16. 5 ± 4. 7) mg/L,P<0. 05,respectively]. The total effective rate in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group[93. 1％(94/101)vs. 81. 2％(82/101)]. Mechanical venti-lation duration and PICU stay in treatment group were significantly shorter than those in the control group [(148. 5 ±30. 6)h vs. (159. 6 ±47. 3)h,(220. 8 ±49. 7)h vs. (330. 7 ±94. 6)h]. The positive rate of patho-genic bacteria was significantly higher than that in the control group [79. 2％(80/101)vs. 62. 4％(63/101), P<0. 05],but there was no significant difference in the 28 days mortality of the two groups[5. 0％(5/101) vs. 5. 9％(6/101),P>0. 05]. Conclusion The bronchoalveolar lavage can improve the respiratory func-tion,reduce the inflammatory reaction,shorten mechanical ventilation duration and PICU stay in children with severe pneumonia undergoing mechanical ventilation obviously. It is worth popularizing in the PICU because of the improvement of curative effect in these children.

Objective To explore the role and effectiveness of flexible fiberoptic brochoscopy ( FFB) in critically ill children with continuous invasive respiratory support. Methods From July 2014 to June 2017,135 critically ill children with severe pneumonia had received continuous invasive respiratory sup-port and undergone FFB in the pediatric intensive care unit( PICU) of our hospital. These patients were en-rolled into the therapy group. Another 104 severe pneumonia patients who had not received FFB were enrolled into the control group. Clinical characteristics of both groups were collected and compared. Results No sig-nificant differences were detected in patients′gender, age, PCIS, usage of antibiotics, and the levels of CRP and PCT assayed at the time of admission to PICU between the therapy group and control group(P>0. 05). The positive rate of bacteria culture of the bronchoscopic lavage was 78. 52％( 106 cases ) in the therapy group,and it was significantly higher than that in the control group(60. 58％,63 cases) (χ2 =5. 681,P <0. 005). For 106 cases in the therapy group,117 bacteria strains were identified,while there were 72 bacteria strains found in 63 cases with positive bacteria culture in the control group. Gram negative bacteria were the most common type,followed by Gram positive bacteria. The third most common pathogenic microbes were fungi,with a significantly higher frequency in the therapy group. No significant differences were found in PaO2 and oxygenation index between both groups before FFB. However,in a half hour after FFB,the PaO2 and oxygenation index significantly increased in the therapy group,and higher than those in the control group (P<0. 005). The levels of CRP and PCT assayed before and the first day after FFB were not significantly changed(P>0. 05). But the levels of CRP and PCT in the therapy group significantly decreased in the third day after FFB,and more than those in the control group. Furthermore,duration of invasive respiratory sup-port,and the stay of PICU were significantly shorter in the therapy group(P<0. 005). Conclusion FFB can play an important role in the collection of pathogenic microbes. It also achieves better results in the treatment of severe pneumonia for children in PICU. Therefore,it is worthwhile to be recommended as a safe and feasi-ble intervention in PICU.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of pulmonary fungal infection and drug resist-ance of the pathogenic fungi among children with severe diseases in pediatric intensive care unit(PICU). Methods From July 2013 to June 2017,the complete clinical data,results of fungal culture and drug sensi-tivity of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in 112 critically ill children with pulmonary fungus infection of PICU hospitalization in our hospital were collected. Samples of peripheral venous blood were collected meantime, including blood routine examination,C reactive protein,G test and GM test. Results One hundred and twen-ty-six fungi were isolated from sputum samples in 112 critically ill children. Severe pulmonary infection (30. 36%,34/112) was the most common form of the primary diseases, the next were severe sepsis (16. 07%,18/112)and severe malnutrition(15. 18%,17/112). Classified based on age difference,the first one was ＜1 year old (43. 75%,49/112),the second one was 1 to 3 years old(29. 46%,33/112). The fun-gal strains were predominantly Candida albicans (61. 90%) and Candida tropicalis (16. 67%),among the infectious cases 14 were diagnosed as mixed infection. Two cases of 3 cryptococcal infectious children were HIV infection,another one was malignant tumor,Cryptococcus was cultured in both sputum,pleural effusion and cerebrospinal fluid. The drug resistance rate of fluconazol in 126 strains of fungi was 12. 70%,the rate of itraconazole was 7. 14%. Generally,the fungi cultured were with very low resistance to 5-fluorocytosine,vori-conazole and amphotericin B. However,the strains of Aspergillus fumigates,Candida kruse,Candida parapsi-losis and Cryptococcus were highly resistant to fluconazol and itraconazole,but with very low resistance to 5-fluorocytosine and amphotericin B. Conclusion Candida albicans is the main pathogenic fungus of pulmo-nary fungal infection among children in PICU,and we could choose voriconazole and amphotericin B as treat-ment of critically ill children with pulmonaty fungal infection.
