Objective To study the characteristic and influential factor of the hidden blood loss after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) so as to provide a reference frame for clinical work. Methods There were 75 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee who were operated with unilateral primary TKA. The patients including 21 males and 54 females at a mean age of 68.7 years were retrospectively analyzed.The perioperative blood loss and the hidden blood loss following TKA were calculated by Gross formula. It was analyzed that if the perioperative blood loss and the hidden blood loss following TKA were affected by gender, haemostasis during operation with deflating tourniquet and reinfusion of the drained blood. Results The preoperative blood loss was (1551.3 ± 369.6) ml and the hidden blood loss was (792.3 ±228.6) ml. The hidden blood loss of male was significantly higher than that of female (P < 0.05). The hidden blood loss was reduced by haemostasis during operation with deflating tourniquet (P < 0.05) but was not affected by postoperative shed blood reinfusion. Conclusions The lowest value of Hct is a representative parameter for calculation of the hidden blood loss. There is no significant difference between male and female about the relative hidden blood loss. Haemostasis during operation with deflating tourniquet can reduce teh hidden blood loss but not affect the total perioperative blood loss. Reinfusion of the drained blood can reduce the transfusion rate but does not affect the total preoperative blood loss and the hidden blood loss.

Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics,diagnosis and treatment of chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis(CMC).Methods The case diagnosed as CMC in the Department of Nephrology and Immunology of Shenzhen Children's Hospital in February 24,2014 was analyzed in terms of symptoms,signs,laboratory findings,gene tests and treatment process,and related literature was reviewed.Results The patient was a 14-year-old boy.The patient started to develop recurrent oral candida infection shortly after birth,then candida infection of skins and nails,which could be alleviated by antifungal agents,but easily relapsed.Since 4 years ago,autoimmune reactions such as autoimmune anemia,thrombocytopenia,leucopenia,proteinuria,and hypothyroidism had successively appeared,and cytopenia began to palliate after administering Glucocorticoid and Cyclosporin,but easily relapsed when the dosage was reduced.The genetic test showed the case was of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) gain-of-function mutation.During the hospitalization,hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) and stagnation of hematopoietic function successively occurred.The cytopenia did not improve and the patient suffered severe infection in spite of washing red blood cells 13 times and blood palate 3 times via infusion,together with high dosage of Dexamethasone and Cyclosporine.The peripheral blood cells and bone marrow gradually returned to normal after being treated by human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor combined with Dexamethasone and Cyclosporin.Retrieving the database in PubMed database,824 articles were found which were about CMC,and 39 of them were about the STAT1 gain-of-function mutation,including 120 cases.But there was only 1 domestic case in 2012,who was a three-year-old child,manifesting recurrent fungal infection of the skin.Conclusions STAT1 gain-of-function acquired mutation is one of the reasons that can lead to CMC.Autoimmune reactions prominently represented by cytopenia occur in a few patients with CMC.It should be alert on those who are with CMC and simultaneously with autoimmtne reaction of blood system.And gene tests facilitate the early diagnosis.

Objective To analyze the economic effects of different rehabilitation patterns for children suffering from cerebral palsy. Methods A total of 153 cerebral palsy patients were divided into a hospital-community-family rehabilitation group(n = 52), a hospital rehabilitation group (n = 50) and a non-intervention control group (n = 51). Those in the first group were provided with a hospital-community-family rehabilitation therapy pattern, those in the sec-ond only hospital rehabilitation and the third no intervention. All the patients were evaluated using the Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88) Scale and the Cost Measure Scale at admission, and at the end of the 3rd and 6th months of treatment. Results There were no significant differences in gross motor function among the three groups at admission. At the end of the 3rd month and the 6th month there were significant differences between the children in the hospital-community-family rehabilitation program and those in the hospital rehabilitation program in terms of gross motor function. Their general percentage, monthly percentage and monthly relative percentage results were all significantly different. But there was no significant difference in the non-interventian control group since admission. Every unit of improvement in gross motor function cost $101.87±97.59, $75.11±45.75 in the hospital-community-family reha-bilitation program and $387.21±54.76, $170.31±123.16 in the hospital rehabilitation program at the end of the 3rd and the 6th month respectively. So the cost of the former was only about 30% of the latter. Conclusion Hospital rehabilitation is suitable for the early rehabilitation of cerebral palsy children. Hospital-community-family rehabilitation is better for long-term rehabilitation of cerebral palsy children, and what is more, it can decrease the rehabilitation ther-apy cost substantially. So a hospital-community-family rehabilitation pattern is more compatible with China's national situation.
