OBJECTIVE:To study the inhibitory action of Radix Astragali injection on human nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2 cell line in vitro.METHODS:Human nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2 cell were treated with different concentrations of Radix Astragali injection(trial group),the cell proliferation state was determined by adenosine triphospate -bioluminescence tumor chemosensitivity assay,cell apoptosis was observed by cell morphology and flow cytometry,and which were compared with the control group.RESULTS:Compared with the control group,the trial group showed significant inhibitory action on the proliferation of the trial cell line(P

Objective:To investigate the distribution and the antibiotic resistant of bacteria separated from clinical samples in a tertiary children's hospital pediatric intensive care unit(PICU) and to provide a rational use of antibiotics.Methods:974 specimens,collected from the PICU were cultured from Jan 1st 2002 to Dec 31st 2005.The isolated bacterial strains were identified and the antibiotic susceptibility was tested with MicroScan-WalkAway 40.Results:378 strains were isolated from 974 specimens,with a bacteria positive rate of 38.8%.Of the 378 strains isolated,288(76.2%) were Gram-negative bacilli,Gram-positive cocci 64(16.4%) and fungi 28(7.4%).The most common gram-negative bacilli were pseudomonas aeruginosa,Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia.The common gram-positive cocci were S.aureus and S.epidermidis.Pseudomonas aeruginosa were resistant to most antibiotics,with a resistant rate of more than 35%,except relative sensitive to ciprofloxacin,imipenem and cefepime.The resistant rate of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia to penicillins and cephalosporins were more than 60%,but all Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia were sensitive to imipenem.The resistant rate of the gram-positive cocci to penicillin,ampicillin and erythromycin were 100%,100% and more than 75%,respectively.No gram-positive coccus resistant to vancomycin were found.Conclusion:Present situation of bacterial resistance is a serious problem in PICU.Constant surveilliances of bacterial distribution and resistant to antibiotics should be conducted in order to guide rational use of antibiotics.

100 hemiplegic patients are divided into two groups: one group is treated with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and acupuncture; the other group is treated with TCM, acupuncture and rehabilitation training. After four weeks, there is difference between two groups in MAS and ADL scores before and after treatment. At the same time the latter's effect is better than the former. It proves that rehabilitation research has important effect on hemiplegia rehabilitation.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate theclinical characteristics and its significance of individualized management of middle turbinate, and to discuss the efficacy of individualized management of middle turbinopathy in endoscopic sinus surgery. METHODS The clinical data of 68 patients with middle turbinopathy, chronic sinusitis and nasal polyp were analyzed retrospectively. By means of study of the shapes, pathological types and lesion extent of middle turbinate, and the relationship of middle turbinate with nasal sinuses, middle meatus, uncinate process, nasal septum, the efficacy of individualized management of middle turbinate after endoscopic sinus surgery was evaluated. RESULTS Among 68 cases, there were 23 cases with concha bullosa, 5 cases with paradoxical curve of the middle turbinate, 25 cases with mucosal polyp of middle turbinate, 6 cases with polyp of middle turbinate, and 9 cases with hypertrophy of bilateral middle turbinate. All of the cases with different extent obstruction of middle turbinate. All the cases were followed up for 6 to 12 months after operation. The nasal adhesion occurred in 19 cases (19/68, 28 %) at 2 to 4 weeks, 11 cases (11/68,16 %) at 5 to 8 weeks, 8 cases (8/68,12 %) at 9 to 12 weeks, 4 cases (4/68, 1.8 %) at 6 to 12 months. The location of nasal adhesion were adhesion with external lateral of nasal cavity in 30 cases, adhesion with inferior turbinate in 9 cases, adhesion with nasal septum in 3 cases. In all of the cases, the cure rate was 72 % (49/68), the improved rate was 26 %(18/68), the ineffective rate was 1.8 %(1/68). CONCLUSION It is necessary that management of different extent and type ofmiddle turbinopathy individualize in endoscopic sinus surgery. Middle turbinate anaplasty is probably benefit for recovering the function of middle turbinate and improving clinical efficacy.

By analyzing the present defects in the management of medical consumables which include lagged management model,nonstandard storage names of medical consumables and bad traceability of the implanted medical products,this paper puts forward some corresponding improvement measures,such as changing the management model of medical consumables,standardizing the storage names of medical consumables and establishing information management system for tracing the implanted medical products,so as to realize scientific and appropriate management of medical consumables.

Exogenous surfactant replacement has been successfully achieved and become standard therapy in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome,but clinical trials in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) had mixed results.Early studies show that pulmonary surfactant(PS) administration in ARDS can significantly improve oxygenation and decrease mortality,but in recent years,some clinical trials haven't achieve the most substantial benefits to long-term patient outcomes.The inconsistent results of clinical trials may have related to aspects of drug composition,dosing,delivery,and timing.At this time,surfactant therapy cannot be recommended as routine therapy in pediatric ARDS.

Lung ultrasound has been proven to have high sensitivity and specificity in the application of lung diseases, and significantly reduces the radiation exposure of children, especially in newborns, which makes it widely used in diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of childhood disease.In emergency and intensive care units, lung ultrasound can even replace chest radiographs as a routine examination method for chest lesions.However, the research of children′s lung ultrasound still falls behind the development of adult ultrasound, and there is a lack of standard procedures and specifications for children′s lung ultrasound.Therefore, this study mainly reviewed the research status of children′s lung ultrasound.

Continuous renal replacement therapy has become an important organ support method for children with liver failure.Anticoagulation is a key step in determining the success of this treatment.Traditional systemic heparin anticoagulation has a high risk of inducing thrombocytopenia and bleeding.Protamine antagonistic heparin local anticoagulation performance is unsatisfactory.Anticoagulation without heparin is difficult to develop smoothly in children, especially low-weight infants.In recent years, regional citrate anticoagulation has gradually received attention as a new type of anticoagulation.This article reviewed the clinical application of this anticoagulation technology.

ObjectiveTo summarize the early postoperation complications and treatments in children with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC).MethodsThirty TAPVC children who were treated with corrective operation and transferred into PICU were collected.Patients were monitored routinely for electrocardiogram,blood pressure and SpO2.The routine treatment measures included mechanical ventilation,sedation,hemostasis,positive inotropic agents,diuresis,vasodilator,antibiotics and symptomatic treatment.Adrenaline or isoproterenol was used when low cardiac output syndrome appeared and temporary pacemaker was employed in the case of bradycardia.Alprostadil and sildenafil were added instantly after corrective operation when severe preoperative pulmonary hypertension or reactive postoperative pulmonary hypertension was present.ResultsThe early postoperation complication was found in 30 cases of TAPVC,which included 13 cases of pneumonia (43.3％ ),8 of arrhythmia (26.7％ ),7 of low cardiac output syndrome (23.3％),6 of respiratory failure (20.0％ ),4 of pulmonary hypertension ( 13.3％ ),3 of pulmonary edema or atelectasis( 10.0％ ) and 1 of pneumorrhagia ( 3.3％ ).Two cases died postoperatively.The interval of stay in PICU was 1 ～ 21 d and the mean time was (5.95 ± 4.94) d.ConclusionOccurrence of respiratory complications is high among early postoperative complications of TAPVC.Therefore,preventing pulmonary infection and maintaining pulmonary function should be viewed as the key points in early postoperative monitoring and managing.In addition,more attention should also be paid on correction of arrhythmia,prophylaxis and treatment of low cardiac output syndrome and pulmonary hypertension crisis,which may improve the postoperative survival rate and care quality of TAPVC.
