OBJECTIVE: To investigate the possible effects of meteorological and environmental factors on allergic rhinitis of children. METHOD: Daily numbers of outpatients consulting general practitioners for AR between Jan 1 2007 and Dec 31 2011 were obtained from the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Shanghai Children Medical Center. Daily maximum, average and minimum temperatures and humidity and wind power for Shanghai of the same 5 years were obtained from the Shanghai Meteorological Office. Air Quality data was provided by the Shanghai Municipal Environmental Protection Monitoring Center on daily SO2, NO2 and PM10, the average of O3 per 8 hours. The data was available as average values derived from the data of 6 state comtrolled monitoring stations distributed across Shanghai. Non-parametric generalized additive model (GAM) was used to analyze the highly non-linear or non-monotonic exposure-response relationship between meteorological and environmental factors and daily outpatient visiting for AR of children. RESULT: The daily numbers of AR children in outpatients department in this study were highest in the average daily temperature 11°C and 21°C. It showed two peak. But as the humidity increased, daily numbers of outpatients of AR children went down, indicating that the higy humidity has protective effect. Every 10 microg/m3 increase of environmental pollutants O3, SO2 and PM10 was linked to 1.95%, 1.19% and 0.33% increase in the number of visitors, respectively, suggesting the air pollution may increase the risk of onset of AR in children. CONCLUSION Meteorological and environmental factors have important effects on AR in children.

MTA and other three dental materials (Dycal, Dyr act and amalgam) were respectively filled into the root canals of prepared root blocks. The roots with the materials were maintained in distilled water or simul ated body fluid (SBF) at 37 ℃ for 5 days. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS) were employed to investigate the mor phological changes and chemical components. Results:There was pr ecipitate of simple crystal units or crystalline structure in the MTA specimens. EDS showed one or two peaks corresponding to calcium or calcium and phosphorus. Conclusions:Apatite may produce and grew by MTA on its surface.

Objective To explore the feasibility and cosmetic results of video-assisted subcutaneous mastectomy and immediate reconstruction. Methods Two patients who suffered from breast diseases and need to excise the breasts received a video-assisted total subcutaneous mastectomy and immediate reconstruction in our center. Results Both patients felt satisfied on the cosmetic result. According to the operative experience of these two patents combined with review, the key point of the operation was summarized as follows. The incisions on the anterior axillary line were small and concealing. External retraction method was used to establish the working space. Video-assisted operation was combined with euthyphoria. Blunt dissection was combined with electrical surgery unit and ultrasound knife to isolate the breast skin flap. After breast glandectomy was completed, silica gel prosthesis was put into the interspace behind ectopectoralis. Pressure dressing for 3 weeks was done to prevent the prosthesis upward displacement. Conclusion The video-assisted subcutaneous mastectomy and immediate reconstruction is a safe and feasible operation method with the better cosmetic result.

Objective To explore the relationship between serum HBeAg、the qualification of HBV DNA and the liver pathologic change in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV)carriers with normal liver function.Methods Two hundred and forty-four chronic hepatitis B virus carriers with normal liver function were performed pathology examination by Liver biopsy.Meanwhile liver function,HBV DNA level and serological serum markers of B-hepatitis examination were detected.Results Pathology results showed that,of all 244 cases,7 cases was cirrhosis(2.9％),143 for slight CHB (58.6％),32 for moderate CHB (13.1％) and 9 for severe CHB (3.6 ％).And 53 (21.7％)chronic hepatitis B virus carriers were the normal histology morphology.Fony-eight cases (19.7％) were in inflammation stage G≥2 and 54(22.1％) were with fibrosis stage S≥2.For cases with HBV DNA positive,The inflammation and ftbrosis stages in HBeAg negative group were more severe than that in HBeAg positive group (P ＜ 0.05).The fibrosis stages in patients with low HBV DNA level were severe than that in high HBV DNA levels (P ＜ 0.05).No significant differences were observed in the inflammation stage between subjects with high or low HBV DNA level.Conclusion Most chronic HBV carriers with normal liver function were with different degrees of liver inflammation and fibrosis.HBeAg and HBV DNA associated with liver pathological change.

Objective To investigate the resistance-related genes of Shigella sonnei with decreased susceptibility to fluoroquinolones.MethodsA total of 131 strains of Shigella sonnei were analyzed for their antimicrobial susceptibility.Mutations within the quinolone resistance determining regions (QRDR) of gyrA and parC were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and PCR products were then sequenced. Meanwhile, the plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes,qnr and aac(6')-Ib-cr were screened by PCR.ResultsResistance rates of 131 Shigella sonnei isolates to nalidixic acid,tetracycline,ampicillin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole were 100.0％,93.9％,93.2％ and 92.8％,respectively.All strains were susceptible to norfloxacin,ciprofloxacin,levofloxacin,while 94％ nalidixic acid-resistant Shigella sonnei strains showed reduced susceptibilities to fluoroquinolones.All of nalidixic acid-resistant Shigella sonnei strains presented a single mutation at codon 83 (Ser→Leu) of gyrA genes,but no mutations were detected in parC gene.And PMQR genes qnr and aac (6’)-Ib-cr were not detected.Conclusions The nalidixic acid-resistant Shigella sonnei strains with reduced susceptibility to fluoroquinolones are common in the clinical practice,which may mainly due to a single mutation at codon 83 (Ser→Leu) of gyrA genes.

According to the Organ Injury Scale Grading System of the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST-OIS),grade Ⅴ liver trauma is always complicated with retrohepatic inferior vena cava injury and less bile duct injury,and it is extremely severe and difficult to be treated.Timely and fast judgment,emergent exploration and effective repair of the injured bile duct are the key points for the treatment of bile duct injury.One patient with grade Ⅴ liver trauma combined with hilar bile duct transection injury was admitted to the Fuzhou General Hospital of Nanjing Military Command on August 30,2013.The rupture of left and right liver junction was detected by preoperative multidisciplinary consultation and emergency open surgery at admission hour 4.There was left and right hepatic duct bifurcation rupture at the first hepatic hilum.Non-functional liver tissues were excised.Breakage left and middle hepatic vein were sutured by polymer suture line.Liver traumatic bleeding and bile duct were sutured and ligatured individually.Left and right hepatic duct laceration was sutured by 6-0 PDS suture line.A hole in the stomach wall was opened fist,and then most part of the gastric contents was removed and the gastric wall was reparied by stapler.Patient received the postoperative symptomatic treatment with gradual recovery,and was discharged from hospital at admission day 26.The patient was readmitted to the hospital at 31 days of discharge due to outflow of purulent fluid from abdominal cavity drainage tube,and was treated by ceftriaxone sodium and tazobactam sodium according to the results of drug sensitive test and continuous peritoneal lavage.The abdominal cavity drainage tube and left and right hepatic duct drainage tube were removed at postoperative day 83.The patient was discharged from hospital at readmission day 28,and was followed up till December 2014 with good recovery and without complication.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for clinical prevention and treatment of ceftizoxime-induced hemolytic anemia by investigating the situation of ceftizoxime-induced hemolytic anemia. METHODS:Using Chinese and English“ceftizoxime”“he-molysis”and other words as key words,related literatures during 1986-2015 were retrieved from CNKI,Wanfang database and PubMed database. Those literatures were analyzed statistically in respects of general information,clinical drug use and manifesta-tion,occurrence time and outcome,etc. The mechanisms of hemolytic anemia were analyzed to put forward prevention and treat-ment measures. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:A total of 11 literatures were retrieved,including 4 foreign literatures and 7 domes-tic ones. There were 15 cases in total,including 5 foreign cases and 10 domestic cases. According to the patient’s age,there were 7 cases of infants,4 cases of the elderly,3 cases of middle-aged people and 1 case of youth. The hemolytic anemia often occurred on the 2-7 day(8 cases). Most of the patients were improved after treatment,but there were 3 patients who died. The mechanism of hemolytic anemia mainly included the production of immune complex and non-immunologic protein adsorption. It is suggested to investigate allergic reaction history,pay attention to sensitization test on skin,select suitable drug dosage and avoid drug combina-tion. The patient’s medications should be monitored closely. Once hemolytic anemia occurs,it should be immediately stop using the drug and take appropriate measures as hormone treatment,comprehensive treatment,blood transfusion treatment,to avoid en-dangering the life safety of patients.
