Results 17 cases were cured,1 died,the cure rate of 95%,the cause of death as multiple injuries caused by the merger of multiple organ failure;postoperative pull gauze(or bandage)again bleeding in 6 cases,2 cases of secondary hemorrhage,the drug was difficult to control again laparotomy to stop bleeding;after 4 cases of subphrenic effusion, infection,complicated with biliary fistula in 5 cases,liver abscess in 2 cases,3 cases of abdominal infection,wound infection in 3 cases.Conclusion For patients with severe liver rupture gauze packing to stop bleeding is still simple and effective ways to deal under an emergency situation for the hospital,both a method of treatment,but also packing oppression to stop bleeding temporarily for processing and then sent to a higher level hospital completely win time,can effectively reduce the mortality and reduce complications.

Objective To compare the short-term efficacy of conbercept and ranibizumab for macular edema in central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO)and explore the relationship between the integrity of ellipsoidal zone and visual acuity.Methods Forty-four eyes of 44 patients with macular edema in CRVO were enrolled into this retrospective and comparative study.There were 15 eyes of 15 males,29 eyes of 29 females;age ranged from 49-61 years old,with an average age of (54.65±3.10) years.All patients were examined with best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA),intraocular pressure (IOP),slit lamp,fundus photograph,fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA),optical coherence tomography(OCT).BCVA were examined with interactional visual chart and recorded with logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution acuity.Twenty-three eyes were intravitreal injected with conbercept 0.5 mg (group A) and 21 eyes were intravitreal injected with ranibizumab 0.5 mg (group B).There was no statistical difference of age (t =-1.41),gender (x2 =0.55),the percentage of hypertension patients (x2 =0.27),average BCVA (t =-2.06),IOP (t=-2.52),central macular thickness (CMT) (t=-1.96),number of different integrity of ellipsoidal zone patients (x2 =1.00) and number of different types of macular edema patients (x2 =1.03)among the two groups (P＞0.05).The change in BCV.A.and CMT at 3,6 months between the two groups were compared.The relationship between BCVA at 6 months and BCVA,CMT at baseline were explored.The relationship between three groups of ellipsoidal zone and BCVA at baseline were evaluated.The change of BCVA after treatment between the three groups of ellipsoidal zone were Compared.The number of intravitreal injections between two groups was compared.Results During the 3,6 months after treatment,the mean BCVA were all improved with statistically difference in group A 0=5.13,7.39;P＜0.05) and group B (t=6.60,11.52;P＜0.05).There was no significant difference of BCVA at 3,6 moths between group A and group B (t=-0.99,-0.40;P＞0.05).During the 3,6 months after treatment,the mean CMT were all decreased with statistically difference in group A (t=11.58,i5.96;P＜0.05) and group B (t=18.77,35.16;P＜0.05).There was no significant difference of CMT at 3,6 months between group A and group B (t=-1.52,-1.63;P＞0.05).In both groups,BCVA at 6 months was related to BCVA at baseline (r=0.44,0.62;P＜0.05),but not related to CMT at baseline (r=0.19,0.01;P＞0.05).In the two groups,BCVA at baseline was related to the integrity of ellipsoidal zone (r=0.97,0.70;P＜0.05).There was statistical difference of the number of intravitreal injections in the two groups (t =-6.88,P＜0.05).There was no systemic or ocular serious side effects during the follow up.Conclusions Comparing to ranibizumab,conbercept has the same effective to the treatment of macular edema in CRVO,but the number of intravitreal injections is less.The integrity of ellipsoidal zone is related to BCVA.

The disturbance of intestinal flora is closely related to the development of tumors. Studies showed that oral symbiotic strain Fusobacterium nucleatum was significantly enriched in a variety of tumors and promoted the disease progression, indicating poor prognosis of patients. Molecular mechanism studies found that Fusobacterium nucleatum could activate host cell cancer-related signaling pathways, trigger chronic inflammation, and suppress immune surveillance to enhance cancer cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis and anti-apoptosis. This article reviewed advances in research on relationship between Fusobacterium nucleatum and cancer.

OBJECTIVES: To study the differences in the clinical features of children with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in different age groups during the epidemic of Omicron variant. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 211 children with COVID-19 who were admitted to the Department of General Pediatrics, Zhongshan People's Hospital, from December 9, 2022 to January 8, 2023. According to their age, they were divided into 4 groups: 1 month-<1 year (n=84), 1-<3 years group (n=64), 3-<5 years (n=29), and ≥5 years (n=34). The above groups were compared in terms of general status, clinical features, ancillary examination results, treatment, and outcome. RESULTS: The children aged <3 years accounted for 70.1% (148/211) of all hospitalized children with COVID-19, and the 3-<5 years group and the ≥5 years group had a significantly higher proportion of children with underlying diseases than the 1 month-<1 year group and the 1-<3 years group (P<0.05). Compared with the other three groups, the 1 month-<1 year group had significantly higher incidence rates of dyspnea, nasal congestion/nasal discharge, diarrhea and significantly lower incidence rates of convulsion and nervous system involvement (P<0.05). Moreover, compared with the other three groups, the 1 month-<1 year group had significantly higher incidence rates of increases in bile acid and creatine kinase isoenzyme and significantly lower incidence rates of decreased platelet count, increased neutrophil percentage, and decreased lymphocyte percentage (P<0.05). The 1 month-<1 year group had a significantly higher incidence rate of mild COVID-19 than the 1-<3 years group and a significantly lower incidence rate of severe/critical COVID-19 than the other three groups (P<0.05). Compared with the other three groups, the 1 month-<1 year group had a significantly higher proportion of children receiving oxygen inhalation therapy (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Children with COVID-19 in different age groups have different clinical features during the epidemic of Omicron variant, especially between the children aged 1 month to <1 year and those aged ≥1 year.

To establish and identify induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from patients with Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS) with TREX1 gene 667G>A mutation, and obtain a specific induced pluripotent stem cell model for Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS-iPSCs). A 3-year-old male child with Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome was admitted to Zhongshan People's Hospital in December 2020. After obtaining the informed consent of the patient's family members, 5 ml peripheral blood samples from the patient were collected, and mononuclear cells were isolated. Then,the peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs) were transduced with OCT3/4, SOX2, c-Myc and Klf4 by using Sendai virus, and PBMCs were reprogrammed into iPSCs. The pluripotency and differentiation ability of the cells were identified by cellular morphological analysis, real-time PCR, alkaline phosphatase staining (AP), immunofluorescence, teratoma formation experiments in mice. The results showed that the induced pluripotent stem cell line of Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome was successfully constructed and showed typical embryonic stem-like morphology after stable passage, RT-PCR showed mRNA expression of stem cell markers, AP staining was positive, OCT4, SOX2, NANOG, SSEA4, TRA-1-81 and TRA-1-60 pluripotency marker proteins were strongly expressed. In vivo teratoma formation experiments showed that iPSCs differentiate into the ectoderm (neural tube like tissue), mesoderm (vascular wall tissue) and endoderm (glandular tissue). Karyotype analysis also confirmed that iPSCs still maintained the original karyotype (46, XY). In conclusion, induced pluripotent stem cell line for Aicardi-Goutières syndrome was successfully established using Sendai virus, which provided an important model platform for studying the pathogenesis of the disease and for drug screening.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the relationship between changes in high-risk populations and screening detected nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) during the three-year follow-up of high-risk and moderate-risk groups at initial EB virus serology screening.

METHODSWe tested EB virus VCA-IgA and EBNA1-IgA antibody to identify the probability of suffering from NPC of the crowd. The high-risk and moderate-risk groups at initial screening in one county during 2009 to 2010 were followed-up once a year with EB virus serology testing. All the high-risk people during initial screening and follow-up were conducted with nasopharyngeal fiber endoscopy. Through the follow-up of three years, we analyzed changes in the number of high-risk group, detection rate of NPC in high-risk group, and tumor staging. Firstly detected NPC by screening was defined as screening group, and detected by following-up was defined as following-up group.

RESULTSA total of 404 participants were at high-risk and 1 041 participants were at moderate-risk group, 1 445 persons were in the group. All 404 persons were at high-risk at initial screening, the number of high-risk people during follow-up decreased from 371 to 187, 853 people of the all high-risk group were conducted with nasopharyngeal fiber endoscopy, and 38 cases of NPC were detected. NPC detection rate of high-risk group was 6.2% (25/404), 3.2% (12/371), 0.5% (1/188) and 0 (0/187) during the initial screening and three years follow-up respectively. The cumulative incidence of NPC in the high-risk and moderate-risk group were 7.7% (31/404) ,0.8% (8/1 041) . The early diagnosis rate of NPC in screening group and following-up group was 80% (20/25)and 11/13, respectively. With the primary tumor, the rate of T1 in screening group was higher than following-up group (80% to 38%, 20/25 to 5/13; P = 0.028). However, compared with following-up group, the rate of regional lymph node metastasis in screening group was higher (19/25 to 5/13; P = 0.035 ).

CONCLUSIONAlong with the high detection rate of early staging NPC in screening group and following-up group, the detection of NPC in high risk people is mainly at initial screening and the first year following-up and NPC detection rate thereafter is dropping significantly.

AIM: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of low-concentrations atropine eye drops in controlling adolescent myopia.METHODS:A computer search was conducted on Wanfang Data, CNKI, VIP, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases from January 2010 to March 2024 on clinical studies on low-concentration atropine eye drops for controlling adolescent myopia. Two researchers independently screened trials, extracted data, evaluated risk of bias and quality, and used Review Manager5.4 software to perform Meta-analysis.RESULTS:A total of 17 articles, involving 3 764 cases and 3 952 eyes, were included. The Meta-analysis showed that compared with the control group, low concentrations of atropine could effectively slow down the growth of axial length [MD=-0.15, 95% CI(-0.20, -0.10), P<0.00001], significantly controlled the changes in spherical equivalent [MD=0.39, 95% CI(0.29, 0.48), P<0.00001], and had a significant effect on pupil diameter [MD=0.80, 95% CI(0.33,1.28), P=0.0010] and amplitude of accommodation [MD=-2.54, 95%CI(-4.49, -0.60), P=0.01].CONCLUSION:Low-concentrations atropine are effective in controlling spherical equivalent and axial length of myopia in adolescents, significantly affecting pupil diameter and amplitude of accommodation, and effectively delaying the progression of myopia.

Objective: To use the meta-analysis in evaluating the hemorrhage-prevention value of second-look endoscopy after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer. Methods: A literature search was conducted to identify all relevant studies comparing second-look endoscopy and non-second-look endoscopy after gastric ESD. The Medline/PubMed, Ovid, Elsevier ScienceDirect, EBSCO, CNKI and VIP databases were searched systematically. Literature inclusion criteria: (1) all the patients were diagnosed as early gastric cancer receiving ESD; (2) end point of the study included postoperative bleeding rate of ESD. Exclusion criteria: (1) papers of repeated research, review, comment, guideline, etc; (2) non-control study. Meta-analysis method was used to calculate a pooled odds ratio (OR) for developing post-ESD bleeding. Results: The meta-analysis showed that post-ESD bleeding was observed in 40 of 1287 patients (3.1%) without second-look endoscopy and in 40 of 968 patients (4.1%) with second- look endoscopy (OR=1.25, 95% CI: 0.79-1.98), with no significant difference between these two groups. Subgroup analysis on research method still indicated no significant difference of post-ESD bleeding between RCT group (OR=1.45,95%CI: 0.79-2.65) and non-RCT group (OR=1.02, 95%CI: 0.50-2.08) (all P>0.05). Conclusion Based on meta analysis, second-look endoscopy can not reduce the rate of postoperative bleeding of ESD. Therefore, routine second-look endoscopy after gastric ESD may not be necessary to prevent delayed postoperative bleeding of ESD.

OBJECTIVETo study the risk factors for moderate and severe iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in infants aged 6-12 months, and to preliminarily investigate the effects of IDA on the neuromotor development and temperament characteristics of infants.

METHODSA total of 326 infants aged 6-12 months with IDA were classified into three groups: mild IDA (n=176), moderate IDA (n=111), and severe IDA (n=39) according to the severity of anemia. The risk factors for moderate or severe IDA were investigated by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Three hundred and forty-six infants without IDA who showed matched age, sex, and other backgrounds were selected as the control group. The Gesell Development Diagnosis Scale was used to evaluate children's mental development. The Temperament Scale for infants was used for evaluating children's temperament.

RESULTSThe univariate analysis showed that the severity of IDA was associated with sex, birth weight, gestational age, multiple birth, maternal anemia during pregnancy, and mother's lack of knowledge about IDA (P<0.05). Setting the mild IDA group as control, the multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that multiple birth, premature birth, low birth weight (<2500 g), maternal anemia during pregnancy, breast feeding, and mother's lack of knowledge about IDA were the risk factors for severe IDA (OR>1; P<0.05); premature birth, breast feeding, and mixed feeding were the risk factors for moderate IDA (OR>1; P<0.05). The IDA group had significantly lower scores in Gesell general development quotient, gross motor, adaptive behavior, and fine motor than the control group (P<0.05). The IDA group had higher percentages of children with difficulty and intermediate difficulty temperaments than the control group (P<0.05). The IDA group had significantly higher scores in activity level, rhythmicity, adaptability, and perseverance than the control group (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONSThe severity of IDA is associated with premature birth, multiple birth, low birth weight, feeding pattern, maternal anemia during pregnancy and mother's lack of knowledge about IDA in infants aged 6-12 months. Infants with IDA have delayed neuromotor development and most of them have negative temperaments. More attention should be paid to mental and behavior problems for the infants. It is necessary to provide guidance for their parents in feeding and education.

OBJECTIVETo study the influence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency on hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) induced by enterovirus 71 (EV71) , and possible mechanisms.

METHODSA total of 220 boys with HFMD induced by EV71 were classified into two groups based on disease severity: mild/moderate (n=145) and severe HFMD groups (n=75), and 132 healthy boys were selected as the control group. The activity of G6PD and levels of reduced glutathione (GSH) and malonaldehyde (MDA) in blood were measured using the automatic biochemical analyzer.

RESULTSThe percentage of G6PD deficiency cases in the severe HFMD group was significantly higher than in the control group (P<0.0125). In the severe HFMD group, the durations of fever, mental abnormality, limb trembling and hospital stay were significantly longer in children with G6PD deficiency than in those with normal G6PD activity (P<0.05). In the acute and recovery stages, patients in the mild/moderate and severe HFMD groups had significantly lower GSH levels and G6PD activity and significantly higher MDA levels compared with those in the control group (P<0.05). In the acute stage, children in the mild/moderate and severe HFMD groups with G6PD deficiency had significantly lower GSH levels and significantly higher MDA levels compared with those with normal G6PD activity (P<0.01). In the acute and recovery stages, GSH level in children with HFMD was positively correlated with G6PD activity (r=0.61, P<0.01; r=0.58, P<0.01), and in the acute stage, MDA level was negatively correlated with G6PD activity (r=-0.29, P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONSG6PD deficiency is probably a predisposing factor for HFMD induced by EV71 and may aggravate the patient's condition. Its mechanism might be related to oxidative stress.
