Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of serum procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in nonneutrocytic ascitic spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (NASBP).Methods From January 2012 to January 2015,patients with liver cirrhosis and ascites were restropectively enrolled.Patients were divided into NASBP group and non-infective ascites group.The receiver operating characteristics curve (ROC) was used for assessing diagnostic accuracy of serum PCT and CRP.Patients with conventional SBP were set as controls.Data between two groups were compared using t test,Rank sum test,x2 test or Fisher exact test.The areas under ROC curve or Youden indeces were compared using Z test.Results A total of 30 patients were collected in NASBP group,51 patients in non-infective ascites group and 33 patients in conventional SBP group.There were no statistically significant differences in PCT and CRP levels between NASBP group and conventional SBP group [0.70(0.25～2.45) μg/L,(21.85-±-16.46) mg/L;0.90(0.33～3.56) μg/L,(31.78-±26.74) mg/L] both P＞0.05,and were both significantly higher than those of non-infective ascites group (0.20 (0.07 ～ 0.40) μg/L,Z=-3.38,t=4.64;(7.19±7.04) mg/L,Z=-3.89,t=-5.17,both P＜0.05).The optimal cut-off value of PCT and CRP in the diagnosis of NASBP was 0.43 ng/mL and 12.76 mg/L,respectively.According to the cut-off value above,PCT,CRP and PCT plus CRP in series and in parallel in the diagnosis of NASBP,the areas under curves were 0.725,0.848,0.737 and 0.806,respectively,and there was no significant difference in pairwise comparison between groups.The sensitivities were 70.0％,70.0％,53.3％ and 86.7％,respectively,there were statistically significant differences between inparallel and any other method (Fisher exact test,all P＜ 0.05).And there was no statistically significant difference (all P＞0.05).The specificities were 76.5％,88.2％,94.1％ and 74.5％,respectively.There was no statistically significant difference in PCT and CRP between combination in parallel and in series,while the differences in the other pairwise comparisons of combinations were statistically significant (Fisher exact test,P＜0.05).The Youden's indexes were 0.465,0.582,0.474 and 0.612,respectively,there was no statistically significant difference in pairwise comparison between groups (all P＞0.05).Conclusions All of serum PCT,CRP and the combination of them have good diagnostic value in NASBP with their own advantages which should be selected based clinical needs.

Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection is the most important pathogenic microorganisms associated with the development of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALT) in children. H.pylori infection may occur in early childhood and last a lifetime even directly affecting the health of adulthood unlessH.pylori infection was eradicated. This article aims to review the infection condition, infection pathway and immunological characteristics ofH.pylori and its relationship with extragastroduodenal diseases in children.

Objective To evaluate and compare the clinical applications of Disposcope (DS)en-doscope and GlideScope (GS)video laryngoscope in double-lumen endobronchial tube (DLT)intuba-tion of the patients with difficult airway.Methods Forty patients scheduled for elective thoracic sur-gery after failure to place the DLT with modified general laryngoscope 2 attempts were randomly dev-ided into 2 groups,20 cases in each group.Patients underwent DLT with DS (group DS)or GS (group GS)intubation after failure to intubation.The causes of the failure of intubation,the intuba-tion of the video laryngoscope,the time of intubation and the location of left double lumen tube were recorded.And the postoperative injury of oral mucosa,teeth and respiratory tract were observed. Results The causes of the difficulty for DLT intubation included:long,high arched palate,large epi-glottis,reduced jaw opening,protruding or loose incisors,over bite,reduced neck extension.The in-tubating achievement ratio was significantly higher in group DS than in group GS (P < 0.05 ).But there was no obvious difference between the two groups in the location success rate and intubation time.The postoperative incidence of tooth loss and oral mucosal injury was significantly higher in group GS than in group DS (P <0.05).Conclusion Both DS and GS were great helpful to intubation and location of DLT in the patients with difficult airway.But DS was more superior than that of GS in the difficult airway of reduced jaw opening,protruding or loose incisors,over bite and reduced neck extension.
