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.

Integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy for pancreatitis has been used since the 1960s.According to the clinical manifestations and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation of pancreatitis,pancreatitis was named true heart pain with cold limbs caused by spleen disease.Syndrome differentiation of acute pancreatitis and treatment with modified Dachaihu decoction achieved good clinical effects.After the 1990s,the research focus of pancreatitis research was shifted to severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).The clinical course of SAP was divided into three phases,and different therapeutic regimens were given.Clinical studies achieved good therapeutic effects in terms of cure rate and fatality rate.After 2000,integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy for chronic pancreatitis has been promoted systemically,and the cooperation between traditional Chinese medicine,endoscopic techniques,and operative treatment helps to significantly improve pain control,nutritional status,and incidence of complications.

China Pharmacist 2016;19(4):703-706
Objective:To screen clinical pharmacists’ intervention points in the medical order safety management according to the classification of irrational medical order, ranking of risk and causes analysis in order to provide ideas and reference for clinical pharma-cists. Methods:The prior interventions and post reviews were conducted on medical orders in an intensive care unit of the hospital from July to December in 2014. Results:A total of 224 medical records and 6583 medical orders were intervened, reviewed and audi-ted. Among the medical orders, 653 cases were irrational with a ratio up to 9. 92%. The 653 irrational medical orders were mainly classified with incompatibility, inappropriate dosage and irrelevant combinations, and mainly D level errors according to the risk rating. Most of the irrational medical orders were due to the lack of professional knowledge. Conclusion: Clinical pharmacists should partici-pate in medical order safety management including interfering drug compatibility, dosage and combination therapy, which can reduce or even avoid the error occurrence in medical orders and promote safe and reasonable medication through reasonable medication training and prior interventions.
4.Analysis of pulmonary surfactant protein B exons sequencing in 80 very low birth weight prematures
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2016;(2):97-100
Objective To study the relationship between exon gene polymorphism of pulmonary surfactant pro-tein B(SP -B)and the susceptibility and severity,prognosis of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).Methods To detect the gene sequence of SP -B exon by adopting the gene sequencing technology,and samples were 80 prematures of very low birth weight in Southern Han Chinese,who were divided into 2 groups,the RDS and the non RDS,and the difference of genotype in SP -B exon in 2 groups was compared.Results There was no significant difference between 2 pretem groups in the aspects of the gestational age,sex,birth weight and delivery mode etc(all P >0.05).Fifty -nine prematures of very low birth weight had exons heterogenesis,and there were 2 types of mutations,V1 :Exon2:c.[5A >C]+[5A >C]or c.[5A >C]+[=];V2:Exon5:c.[428C >T]+[428C >T]or c.[428C >T]+[=].There were 20 cases of type V1 ,1 8 cases of type V2,3 cases of type V1 +V2 in 45 cases of RDS,and there were 1 2 cases of type V1 ,9 cases of type V2,no case of type V1 +V2 in the non RDS group.Comparing the incidence of V1 and V2 in 2 groups,there were all significant differences(χ2 =3.73,5.02;all P <0.05),and the OR values of 2 polymorphisms to RDS were 3.33 and 4.00,but there was no significant difference in mutation cases and non mutation cases in RDS group when comparing severity and prognostic(χ2 =0.07,P >0.05).Conclusion Gene polymorphism of SP -B exon are risk factors for premature of very low birth weight in southern Han Chinese in RDS.
5.Diagnostic value of biomarkers in children with fulminant myocarditis
Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2015;22(8):527-530
Biomarkers are objective tools with an important role for diagnosis in patients with acute myocarditis.Traditional biomarkers,such as aspartate aminotransferase,creatine kinase and myoglobin seem to have low sensitivity.Creatine kinase-MB′s major limitation is short in half-life,which makes monitoring more difficult.To date,cardiac troponins are closest to optimal biomarker with high sensitivity and specificity in the early diagnosis of acute myocarditis.Novel biomarkers,including stromal cell-derived factor 1 ,heart-type fatty acid binding protein and MicroRNA have the potential to be valuable biomarkers for early diagno-sis.Combining biomarkers and clinical features have appeared to improve diagnostic accuracy than either one alone.
