Objective To understand the risk factors for poor prognosis of severe adenovirus pneumonia (SAP)in children,and provide guidance for clinical diagnosis and prognosis.Methods Clinical data of 91 hospitalized children who diagnosed with SAP in Chongqing Children’s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between January 2012 and January 2014 were analyzed retrospectively.Results Of 91 SAP children,23 (25.27%)had poor prognosis. Univariate analysis showed that risk factors for poor prognosis of SAP were age of onset,congenital heart disease and other serious underlying diseases,mechanical ventilation therapy,acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), atelectasis and other serious radiological changes,and emergence of two and more extra-pulmonary complications (all P <0.05).Multivariate regression analysis showed that congenital heart disease and other serious underlying diseases,and emergence of two and more extra-pulmonary complications were independent risk factors for poor prognosis of SAP (all P <0.05).Conclusion Congenital heart disease and other serious underlying diseases,emer-gence of two and more extra-pulmonary complications are independent risk factors for poor prognosis of SAP,active intervention should be conducted during the process of clinical diagnosis and treatment,so as to improve the prognosis.

Objective To study the diagnostic value of single fiber electromyography (SFEMG) in diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).Methods The values of jitter and fiber density (FD) in 36 patients with diabetes mellitus of 2 type were determined by Viking Ⅳ, while conventional nerve conduction studies (NCS) were performed,and the fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin A 1C (HbA 1C ) were measured.Results The values of jitter were associated with FD, and both jitter and FD were positively related to HbA 1C .18 cases with abnormal NCS showed increased jitter(11 cases with block),and increased FD in 14 cases; the remaining 18 cases with normal NCS,7 cases with increased jitter(3 cases with block),the increased FD in 5 cases.Conclusion Denervation reinnervation reflected by jitter and FD was associated with the metabolic status. SFEMG could be served as sensitive means to early diagnosis of DPN, and might detect subclinical peripheral neuropathy of diabetes.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of F wave in diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).Methods F and M wave parameters were measured in 106 patients with diabetes mellitus and 75 normal persons, including the minimum latency, duration, amplitude and area of F wave, and the amplitude and the area of M wave.Results (1) In the 30 patients with diabetes mellitus without peripheral neuropathy, there were 8 cases with prolonged the duration of F wave, 4 cases with prolonged the minimum latency of F wave, 2 cases with increased in the ratio of the area of F/M wave. (2) The minimum latency prolonged of F wave, the ratio of the amplitude of F/M wave and the ratio of the area of F/M wave significantly increased in the 76 patients with DPN, the duration of F wave prolonged in the mild DPN but no one revealed remarkable abnormal. (3) In the controls, the function of upper limit of the minimum latency of F wave (Y) and leg length (X) was Y=12.3+48.8X 2. Conclusion (1) F wave could be served as sensitive index to the early diagnosis of DPN, and might detect subclinical DPN. (2) The proximal nerve segment could be affected without the lesions of the distal nerve segment in patients with DPN, and it suggested that vascular factor plays an important role in the mechanism of DPN.
