1.Treatment for Palmar-Foot Hyperhidrosis Based on Spleen and Stomach
Chinese Journal of Information on Traditional Chinese Medicine 2017;24(4):113-114
Palmer-foot hyperhidrosis is one kind of focal hyperhidrosis, with symptoms of sweating hands or feet. Some people even have sweat dripping off their hands or feet. This article studied the views of TCM on palmer-foot hyperhidrosis, expounded the pathological and physiological relationship between palmer-foot hyperhidrosis and spleen and stomach, and proposed that clinical treatment should be based on the syndrome differentiation and treatment of spleen and stomach, which can achieve certain efficacy.

Objective To explore the applicability of the abbreviated Chinese version of the social problem-solving inventory (C-SPSI) for nursing students in Shanghai. Methods The abbreviated C-SPSI was revised and 603 nursing students in Shanghai were surveyed by it, and the reliability and con-struct validity were evaluated by inter-item consistency analysis, test-retest reliability and principal factor analysis. Results The total CVI was 0.968. The construct validity was confirmed by factor analysis with 64.917% variance explained by four factors. The total Cronbach's α of C-SPSI was 0.897,and the total test-retest reliability coefficient was 0.781. Conclusions The abbreviated C-SPSI is an instrument with good reliability and validity and it can be used in assessing the nursing students' social problem-solving abilities and deficits.

Objective To analyze 4 child patients with 3-methylcrotonyl-coenzyme A carboxylase deficiency (MCCD) identified by neonatal screening and confirmed by urine gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and genetic analysis.Methods Newborns whose C4DC + CSOH concentration was above 0.6 μmol/L in newborn screening were recalled for rescreening,and the CADC + C5OH concentrations in their mothers were detected.The child patients suspected with MCCD were further confirmed by urine GC/MS and genetic analysis.Results Three child patients were definitely diagnosed as MCCD by genetic analysis,including 1 MCCD,1 maternal MCCD and 1 paternal MCCD.The other 1 child patient suspected with MCCD had only one allele in MCCC1.Conclusion The mother and father of newborns with elevated C4DC + C5OH identified in neonatal screening should routinely perform MS / MS testing.When only one pathogenic locus is found in the suspected MCCD child patients by genetic analysis,they should be followed up regularly.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the application of 18fluoro-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) to the staging and predicting outcome in patients with lymphoma.Methods 41 patients with newly diagnosed lymphoma(median age 57 years)were explored with FDG-PET prior to and after 4 cycles of chemotherapy.With a median follow-up of 30 months (range 10-68 months),the value of FDG-PET to staging and predicting clinical outcome was assessed. Results The maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of nodal and extranodal lesions was 9.7±6.9 and 8.4±6.8 respectively prior to treatment.There were significant difference (P<0.05) in aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,no significant difference(P>0.05)in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and Hodgkin's lymphoma(HL), B-cell neoplasms and T-cell neoplasms,germinal center B-cell-like DLBCL and activated B-cell-like DLBCL. In 41 patients, 22 patients (54 %)were detected extranodal focus by FDG-PET before chemotherapy. FDG-PET imaging upstaged in 6(15%)of initial lymphoma patients.There were 15 patients (37 %) in stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ and 26 patients(63 %)in stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ by FDC-PET scan.1 patient (7 %) in stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ,6 patient (23 %) in stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ died of disease progression during follow-up.After 4 cycles of chemotherapy,the FDG-PET was negative in 41%(17/41),positive in 59 %(24/41) respectively.1 patient(6 %)died of disease relapse among 17 patients who were FDG-PET negative, 6 patient (25 %)died of disease progression among 24 patients who were FDG-PET positive during follow-up. Conclusion FDG-PET scanning plays an important role in the pretreatment staging and prediction of the prognosis after 4 cycles of chemotherapy in patients with lymphoma.Thus it may offer the potential for change in treatment paradigms.

AIM:To study the visual acuity and refractive status of students pupils and middle school students in Shenzhen, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of myopia.
METHODS:A cluster sampling method was used to select five primary school students(6 737) and three junior middle school students(1 925) from Shenzhen. The visual acuity, anterior segment, fundus, eye position, and refractive status were measured. Information on associated factors for poor vision were also obtained using a questionaire. The risk factors of poor vision and the rate of myopia between grade or gender were analysed by Chi-square test.
RESULTS:The rate of poor vision was 67. 0%. Female, family history of high myopia, long time of continuous look near, short time of outdoor activities were the main risk factors. The rate of emmetropia, hyperopia, astigmatism and myopia were 15. 1%, 11. 3%, 11. 0% and 62. 6% respectively. Emmetropia, hyperopia and astigmatism incidenece rate decreased with age growing, but myopia incidence rate was increased. There were significant differences between adjacent two grades in myopia(χ2=7. 338-45. 018, P<0. 05 ) except the primary grade six and the junior grade one. There were significant differences between boys ( 61. 0%) and girls ( 65. 5%) in myopia(χ2=17. 180, P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION:The rate of poor vison is pretty high in students of Shenzhen aged between 5 to 16 years old, and myopia is the main reason. The development rate of myopia is increased with age. Early management of myopia may play an important role in controlling poor vision in students.

Objective To analyze the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of the children with measles. Methods Retro-spectively analyzed methods were applied to analyze the timing, and season of the break, age distribution, clinical manifestations and major complications of 3431 children with measles (<12 years) in the Second Hospital of Nanjing from 2008 to 2015. Results It found that there was a peak incidence of measles in children each in 2009, 2013, and 2015 , peaking in March to May. Onset age of measles mainly within the first year of life, and incidence increased with age within the first 8 months. Typical clinical manifestations are mainly fever, rash, cough, and catarrhal symptoms. The main complications of measles were pneumonia, laryngitis and heart failure. Conclusions Early diagnosis and effective treatment of the children with measles needs to be strengthened.

Objective To explore the clinical feature and gene types in patients with primary carnitine deficiency. MethodsClinical data of 6 patients with primary carnitine deficiency and 2 patients with maternal carnitine deficiency found in the screening by tandem mass spectrometry technology during December 2013 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Results The free carnitine levels of 8 patients in initial and recall screening were 5.85±1.65 μmol/L and 5.22±1.02 μmol/L. Two pathogenic alleles were detected in each patient with primary carnitine deficiency by genetic and metabolic disease panel based on Ion Torrent semiconductor sequencing. After treatment with oral L-carnitine, the free carnitine levels of 6 patients with primary carnitine deficiency were 20.24±3.88 μmol/L. The carnitine levels returned to normal after mixed feeding for one week in 2 patients with maternal carnitine deficiency, and no genetic diagnosis was carried out. Conclusion Primary carnitine deficiency can be effectively detected using tandem mass spectrometry technology and next generation sequencing panel and the prognosis is good with early standard treatment.

The association of urinary cytokine concentration with the incidence of urinary tract infection in patients with diabetes mellitus was explored. Urinary interleakin-6 (IL-6) level in 156 female type 2 diabetes mellitus patients was tested and followed up for 6 months. The incidence of urinary tract infection between the top quartile of baseline urinary cytokine concentration with the bottom quartile was compared. The incidence of top quartile of urinary IL-6 concentration at baseline was significantly lower than that of bottom quartile ( 13.5% vs 37.8%, P<0.05 ). Abnormality of urinary IL-6 concentration may be involved in the mechanism leading to higher prevalence of urinary tract infection in patients with diabetes mellitus.
