1.Advances in evaluating the quality-of-life of children with chronic cough
International Journal of Pediatrics 2014;41(3):240-242
Cough is a common respiratory symptom in children.To evaluate severity of cough and the quality-of-life in children with chronic cough,cough scores,generic questionnaires and cough-specific health-related quality of life questionnaires have been developed.Different questionnaires have their own particular features,recently the validity and reliability of the cough-specific health-related quality of life questionnaires are supposed to be high in assessing quality of life,and have been proved to be quite valid and reliable tools.Studies have shown that chronic cough not only affects physical status in children,but also seriously affects their psychological health,social activities and family life negatively.Therefore,evaluating severity of cough and impacting on quality of life contributes to the clinical development of appropriate interventions.

Chinese Journal of Trauma 2009;25(7):648-652
Objective To compare the effect of calcium sulfate pellets made by different methods in repair of segmental radial defect of rabbits. Methods Eighty white New Zealand rabbits were sub-jected to defects of middle part of the left radial bone and divided into four groups according to repair ma-terials: control group (Group A, implanted with no artificial bone substitute), uncoated pressed calcium sulfate pellets (Group B), coated pressed calcium sulfate pellets (Group C) and coated pressed calcium sulfate pellets combined with rhBMP-2 (Group D). Histologic examination and biological test were done at 4, 8 and 12 weeks after operation. The data were processed with mono-factor variance analysis. Re-sults New bone formation was found on the defected bone in Group D and Group C, with better in Group D. The bone strength test showed that the anti-bending strength was (39.6±1.7) % in Group C and (47.5±2.1) % in Group D, which were higher than (21.3±2.7) % in Group A and (23.6±3.3) % in Group B, with higher anti-bending strength in Group D than that in Group C (F = 125.3 ,P <0.01). Conclusions For restoration of segmental bone defects, chitosan-coated pressed calcium sulfate pellet shows relatively high density and slightly slow resorption, which closely coincides with the growth rate of new bone. The coated pellet combined with rhBMP-2 can enhance its osteogeneais in restoring segmental Done defects.

Journal of Clinical Pediatrics 2017;35(8):629-631,640
Objectives To explore the effects of gross hematuria on the results of several parmeters in laboratory urine examination. Methods Eighty (80) children with IgA nephropathy and 40 cases with acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis hospitalized in our hospital from January 2014 to December 2015 were recruited. The ratio of urinary calcium and protein to creatinine, quantitative test of 24 h urinary calcium and protein, quantitative test of 24 h urinary albumin,α1-microglobulinuria, microalbuminuria and urine protein electrophoresis were tested during and after the gross hematuria, respectively. Results The ratio of urinary calcium and protein to creatinine, quantitative test of 24 h urinary calcium and protein were much higher in the duration of gross hematuria as compared to those after the duration of gross hematuria, while α1-microglobulinuria, microalbuminuria and quantitative test of 24 h urinary albumin showed no difference between the two periods. Conclusions Gross hematuria could increase the level of urinary calcium and protein, while quantitative test of 24 h urinary albremin is not affected.
