Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2012;19(1):19-22
Brain injury is the leading cause of death after cardiopulmonary resuscitation.Clinical care for brain injury remains necessary.Therapeutic hypothermia has been shown to be effective in improving neurological outcome of children with cardiac arrest.We routinely induced hypothermia in children with coma after cardiac arrest,targeting 32 ~ 34 ℃,using cooling blankets and intravenous ice cap as primary methods for induction,for 24 ~ 72 h or much more duration,and vigilant re-warming.The objective of this article was to share our hypothermia protocol for cooling children with acute brain injury after cardiac arrest.
2.Monitoring cerebral oxygenation in PICU
Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2017;24(6):405-411
Pediatric intensive care unit(PICU) is the last guarantee for children whose lives were threatened.Brain injury are accompanied in many patients,in which ones dying or surviving were associated with whether their cerebral function would be recovered.Closely monitoring the brain function,especially the metabolic balance of cerebral oxygenation to detect cerebral hypoperfusion and low oxygen delivery and timely interventions being introduced can reduce mortality and longterm sequela.Current trends in monitoring cerebral oxygenation are poor in PICUs of our country.It is very helpful in evaluating cerebral function and predicting prognosis from learning characteristics of cerebral oxygenic balance and monitoring methods of cerebral oxygenation.At present,monitoring cerebral oxygen includes intracranial pressure,cerebral perfusion pressure,jugular venous oxygen saturation,brain tissue oxygen tension,cerebral blood flow,and near infrared spectrum technology and so on.

Naphazoline,Diphenoxylate, Over-the-counter (OTC) cough and cold medications, widely used for the symptomatic relief of nasal obstruction, diarrhea or common cold symptoms. But these medicines might cause poisoning even if utilized in recommended doses for treatment. The side effects of these medicines were neglected when they were used much more commonly. The clinical manifestation of these medicine poisoning were delitescence and children' s parents couldn't provide the whole history, so these medicine poisoning were often misdiagnosis, even lead to treatment failure. We explore the toxicities of these medicines ,discuss their mechanisms and clinical manifestation, and suggest why physicians should be more vigilant in specifically inquiring about them when evaluating an ill child.

Objective To discuss the application of cephalocervical CT angiography (CTA) and ABCD2 score in evaluating arterial characteristics and interventional curative effect for patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA). Methods During the period from Jan. 2010 to Jan. 2012, a total of 64 patients with clinically-diagnosed TIA were admitted to authors’ hospital. ABCD2 score evaluation and cephalocervical CTA examination were performed in all patients. The correlation of stenotic degree and distribution of the cephalocervical arteries with the ABCD2 score was analyzed. According to the stenotic degree of the cephalocervical arteries, the patients were divided into low-risk group and mid-to-high-risk group. Twenty-two patients in mid-to-high-risk group received stenting angioplasty treatment. Follow-up was made at 3, 6 and 12 months after the treatment. Results Of 64 TIA patients, cephalocervical artery stenosis was found in 52(81.25%) A total of 149 arterial segments were involved, including intracranial segment (n=81, 54.36%) and extracranial segment (n = 68, 45.64%). Patients in low-risk group mainly suffered slight or moderate arterial stenosis, while patients in mid-to-high-risk group had moderate or serious arterial stenosis (χ2 =10.126, P=0.018). The preoperative ABCD2 score was (6.41 ± 0.50). The ABCD2 scores determined at 3, 6 and 12 months after the treatment decreased to(2.88 ± 0.69), (2.82 ± 0.63) and(3.00 ± 0.71), respectively. The differences were statistically significant (F = 86.657, P < 0.05). Conclusion Cephalocervical CT angiography and ABCD2 score can reliably evaluate the arterial stenosis and interventional curative results in TIA patients.

Objective To investigate the clinic diagnosis value of CT scan and the determination of serum NSE, Cyfra21-1 for SCLC. Methods ① The CT findings and pathologic basis of 220 cases with SCLC were analyzed retrospectively.② Between February 2000 and December 2001, 120 consecutive patients with pulmonary lesions by CT scan, which suspiciously suffered lung cancer, were studied prospectively. Serum samples were obtained by venous puncture from all patients 1 week prior to surgery or puncture biopsy. The serum concentration of NSE, Cyfra21-1 were determinated using ELISA. According to the pathologic result, the diagnostic value of CT scan, NSE and Cyfra21-1 were evaluated.Results ① Most CT findings of SCLC were central and spindly or eggplant-shape mass, hilar and/or mediastinal lymph nodes enlargement.The obstructive pulmonary lesions were found rarely.② Using CT scan, NSE and Cyfra21-1 alone, the sensitivity were 75%,72.5% and 32.5%,the specificity were 73.75%, 83.75% and 48.75%,the accuracy were 74.16%, 81.67% and 43.33% respectively. With combination of CT scan and NSE, the diagnostic accuracy was 78.3%, and the sensitivity was 87.5%. However, CT scan combined with Cyfra21-1 can not be improve the diagnostic value. Conclusion SCLC has specific CT findings. The sensitivity of CT scan was 75%, combinated with NSE, its accuracy was higher(78.3%), and the sensitivity was 87.5%.

Aim To study the protective effects of Paeoniflorin (PF) on dopaminergic neurons in brain slice of substantia nigra treated with MPP~+ and to investigate the transcription of alpha-synuclei (α-syn) mRNA.Methods The organatypic brain slice culture of substantia nigra prepared from neonatal SD rats was placed on Millicell-CM porous membranes and cultured to day-10.Then the cultrues of slice were treated with different concentrations (0.1,0.5,1.0 mmol·L~(-1)) of MPP~+ for 24 h.Some of the cultrues treated with 0.5 mmol·L~(-1) MPP~+ also received PF (1 or 10 μmol·L~(-1)).Slices cultured in normal medium were used as vehicle control.The tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunohistochemical staining with the cell counting was used to determine the dopaminergic neruons.The transcription of α-syn mRNA was examined by real-time quantitative RT-PCR.Results MPP~+(0.1,0.5,1.0 mmol·L~(-1)) exposure markedly decreased the number of TH~+ cells in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05 or P<0.01) and sharply induced the transcription of α-syn mRNA (P<0.01) in slices treated with 0.5 mmol·L~(-1) MPP~+.The addition of PF (10 μmol·L~(-1)) to MPP~+-treated slices significantly increased dopaminergic neurons survival (P<0.01) and downregulated the transcription of α-syn mRNA significantly (P<0.05).Conclusion PF can effectively inhibit the injury of dopaminergic neurons induced by MPP~+ on brain slice of substantia nigra and downregulate the transcription of alpha-synuclein.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value and clinical significance of 1.5T MR multiple sequence for atrial septal defect (ASD) and ventricular septal defect (VSD).Methods To collect the data of MRI and transthoracic echocardiography(TTE)of 46 patients with ASD/VSD,Among them,12 patients had surgical treatment,27 patientsDSA treatment and 7 patients no surgery or DSA treatment. The biggest defect diameter was recorded which measured by TSE,GRE,PC-MR and TTE,and the main deformity,valvular regurgitation, atrioventricular enlargement,cardiac function,maximum aperture of ASD/VSD were recorded which were confirmed by surgery.Al-so,myocardial delayed reinforcement was recorded.Results Multiple sequence check of MRI found different number of defects in 39 patients(7 patients without surgery or treatment removed );the largest defect aperture of ASD/VSD measured by TSE、GRE、PC-MR had no statistically significant(P >0.05)with TTE measurements,they had good correlation with TTE (r=0.86,0.94,0.99) (P >0.05),and PC-MR had the highest consistency with TTE.The measured results of GRE,TTE,surgical in 14 ventricular sep-tal defects of 12 cases had no statistically significant(P >0.05).the largest defect aperture between myocardial delayed reinforce-ment and not delayed reinforcement had statistically significant in 41 cases of ASD(P <0.05).MRI had more advantage in the right heart enlargement and right heart function than TTE,the differences between the two had statistically significant(P <0.05).And MRI could find intracardiac deformity and outside the heart malformation in ASD/VSD,especially outside the heart malformation. Conclusion 1.5T MR multiple sequence inspection have high diagnostic value for ASD/VSD,which can display ASD/VSD clearly, measure the defect aperture accurately,find merged deformity accurately,and can also show myocardial delayed reinforcement and judge heart function.
