Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of 7 sporadic cases in children of influenza A (H1N1)broken out in Tianjin,and to provide clinical experience and prognosis factors for the diagnosis and prevention of this disease.Methods:The clinical data and protective measures were retrospectively analyzed in 7 children with H1N1 confirmed by Tianjin Haihe Hospital from June 9,2009 to September 21,2009,and the related literatures were reviewed.Results:There were six imported cases of H1N1 and one second-generation case.Fever and cough were the main symptom in children.There were 5 children with hyperpyrexia.Three were with expectoration.Other symptoms included anergy,dizziness,headache,nasal discharge,sneeze and pharyngalgia.Two of these children were with leukocytosis decrease,two were with infection of leukocytosis,and others were normal.Five of these children were with normal chest X-ray,one with texture disorder, and one with bilateral multiple infiltrating image.The positive influenza A virus result was detected by real-time PCR and sequencing comparison in the throat swab samples taken within 2 days from the seven children,and became negative after 5-9 days in the course of this disease.Six patients were accepted osehamivir treatment for 5 days.One was treated only with anti-virus mixture.The average length of hospital stay was 7.9 days.When the children were discharged from hospital,all the symptoms were disappeared.All the patients'families,doctors and nurses were not infected in non-directly exposed to the disease.Conclusion:The seven child patients showed mainly symptoms of fever and cough.The average course was 9.1 days,and they were all cured.Therefore,influenza A(H1N1)is preventable and curable.

Objective To explore the image features of benign fibrous histiocytoma of bone and its correlative differential diagnosis.Methods Nine cases of benign fibrous histiocytoma of bone were retrospectively analyzed by comparing the imaging findings with surgical and pathological results.Results In all 9 cases,the tumors were single,ranged from 10 mm?15 mm?20 mm to 50 mm?50 mm?60 mm in diameter,which appeared as round or oval destruction with clear border in the bone,neither calcification nor ossification.The border of tumors in 5 cases was accompanied by integrated sclerosis ring with homogeneous thickness.There were expanding changes in 6 cases,no expanding changes in 3 cases.4 cases underwent MRI,2 cases were homogeneous,low signal on both T1WI and T2WI,and 2 cases were low signal on T1WI and high signal on T2WI with low signal sclerosis ring in circumference.There were no periosteum reaction and soft-tissue tumor in 9 cases.Conclusion X-ray,CT and MRI are valuable in the diagnosis of benign fibrous histiocytoma of bone,for some typical cases,the correctly diagnosis of it can be made before operation.

Objective To measure the morphological parameters of the acromion with CT and to analyze their match with the hook plate. Methods From October 2009 to February 2010,spiral CT scanning (with Somatom Emotion16) and three-dimensional reconstruction of bilateral shoulders were conducted in 61 Chinese subjects.They were 24 men and 37 women,aged from 20 to 83 years (average,45.2 years).The thickness,length and width of the acromion were measured and the subacromial shape was observed with software of the CT system to analyze the match between the hook plate and the acromion.Results The mean thickness of the acromion was 0.85 ± 0.13 cm in all subjects,0.94 ± 0.12 cm in males and 0.79 ± 0.10 cm in fe males,with a significant difference between males and females ( t =2.382,P =0.202).The mean acromion length was 2.08 ± 0.20 cm in all subjects,2.09 ± 0.21 cm in males and 2.06 ± 0.18 cm in females,with no significant difference between males and females( t =1.541,P =0.129).The mean acromion width was 3.81 ± 0.52 cm in all subjects,4.34 ± 0.32 cm in males and 3.47 ± 0.25 cm in females,with a significant difference between males and females ( t =2.296, P =0.025 ). Conclusions The acromial morphology varies significantly between genders in Chinese population,particularly in the thickness and width.It is,therefore,necessary to modify the morphological parameters of the hook plate to match better the gender difference in Chinese population.It is optimal that the hook plate should allow individualized pre-moulding to enhance its therapeutic efficacy.

Objective To determine whether prenatal ultrasonography (US) score is more effective than renal pelvic anterior posterior diameter (PAPD) for the prognostic evaluation of fetal hydronephrosis.Methods Fetuses with hydronephrosis (PAPD≥ 10 mm) were examined by prenatal US in the third trimester.PAPD,renal parenchyma thickness (RPT) and pelvicaliceal morphology (PM) were measured and graded from 0 to 3 score on the basis of severity of hydronephrosis,then the total US score of each kidney was obtained.According to the follow-up results after birth,all the cases were divided into two groups:physiological and pathological hydronephrosis.Via Z test,paired comparison was made to analyze area under the curve (AUC) of US score and each of the other three factors.Results Confirmed by postnatal US and other clinical examinations,of 198 kidneys (158 cases ) with hydronephrosis,139 (70.20％ ) were physiological hydronephrosis and 59 (29.80％ ) were pathological hydronephrosis.AUC of PAPD,RPT,PM,US score was 0.897 (minimum),0.957,0.944 and 0.982 (maximum) respectively,and there was significant difference between AUC of US score and each of the other three ( P ＜0.05).US score was the best approach for differential diagnosis of fetal hydronephrosis.Conclusions Prenatal US score is more effective and accurate than the single factor (PAPD,RPT,PM) to differentiate fetal physiological and pathological hydronephrosis.It was a new quantitative method to evaluate the prognosis of fetal hydronephrosis,and should be disseminated and applied clinically.

In search of the optimal preparation method for large-scale purification of human plasma fibronectin, we adopted affinity chromatography with gelatin and the Sepharose 4B activated with cyanogen bromide to purify fibronectin from type "C" plasma of healthy males, and scanned the best method under the conditions of different amount of plasma loading and different residence time in column. In a given column volume of gelatin, the absorbent was related with the plasma residence time in column and the total amount of plasma loaded. As a result, the optimal loading amount of plasma is 150 ml, and the residence time is 20 minutes. The preparation method, herein, has been proved to require small amount of plasma and yield large amount of fibronectin.

Objective To explore the application of double-parameter three-dimension arterial spin labeling (3D-ASL) in evaluating collateral circulation in patients with unilateral chronic middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion.Methods From May 2015 to November 2017,24 patients with unilateral chronic MCA occlusion were scanned in Yantaishan Hospital by conventional MRI,DWI,3D-TOF-MRA and 3D-ASL (post-labeling delays:1.5 s and 2.5 s respectively) using a 3.0 T MR scanner.The cerebral blood flow (CBF) values were measured in region of interest in the occlusive cortical area and in the contralateral normal cerebral area.The differences in CBF value measured by 3D-ASL (PLD=1.5 s and PLD=2.5 s) were analyzed by statistical methods.Results All the patients (n=24) on 3D-ASL (PLD=1.5 s) presented with apparent hypoperfusion in the MCA occlusion territory;but 3D-ASL (PLD=2.5 s) demonstrated the basically same perfusion in bilateral MCA territories,without apparent hypoperfusion in one cerebral hemisphere.The subtraction images of 3D-ASL (PLD 2.5 s-PLD 1.5 s)presented laminated high signal areas in the cortical region of MCA occlusion.There was no statistically significant difference in CBF value of the contralateral normal cerebral area between measurements by 3D-ASL (PLD=1.5 s) and by 3D-ASL (PLD=2.5 s) (6.39±5.01 mL/100 g·min versus 55.87±6.89 mL/100 g· min) (P＞0.05).The CBF value of region of interest in the occluded cortical area (23.34±4.53 mL/100 g· min) was significantly lower than that in the contralateral normal cerebral area (55.87±6.89 mL/100 g·min) by 3D-ASL (PLD=1.5 s) (P＜0.05).The CBF value of region of interest in the occluded cortical area (53.93±8.59 mL/100 g·min) by 3D-ASL (PLD=2.5 s) was significantly higher than that by 3D-ASL (PLD=1.5 s) (23.34±4.53 mL/100 g·min) (P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference between the CBF value of region of interest in the occluded cortical area and that in the contralateral normal cerebral area by 3D-ASL (PLD=2.5 s) (P＞0.05).Conclusions 3D-ASL (PLD=1.5 s and PLD=2.5 s) can noninvasively and intuitively demonstrate the collateral circulation compensation in patients with chronic MCA occlusion.3D-ASL (PLD=1.5 s) can reflect the first-order collateral circulation compensation while 3D-ASL (PLD=2.5 s) can reflect accurately the secondary collateral circulation compensation.

Objective To prospectively survey the well-known experts of critical care and endocrine secretion to summarize their experience in treating diabetes mellitus complicated by sepsis for the purpose of providing guidance of theory and practice in making treatment schemes of traditional Chinese medicine for such disease.Methods The questionnaires were designed and submitted to the experts.The statistic analysis was undertook to investigate the rules.Results A total of 30 questionnaires were released and 28 were retrieved.The experts generally believed that eight-principle syndrome differentiation was the most useful method in the syndrome differentiation and treatment of this disease.The heat,stasis and toxin were usually acted as the main pathogenic factors while damp and phlegm commonly act as secondary pathogenic factors.They thought that weak body resistance under the invading of evil was the key mechanisms in the deterioration of the disease and they chose clearing heat,activating blood and detoxication as 3 core treatment principles.Conclusions The summarized opinions from the experts should be act as important reference in treating this disease,but its effectiveness and possibility for further generalization need to be validated in the clinical practice.

Objective:To analyze and compare the X-ray procedures and radiation dose composition of ophthalmic inpatients, and to explore the changes of the X-ray examination mode in recent years and the effect of optimization in imaging technology on the radiation dose level of the patients.Methods:The simple random sampling method was used to retrospectively select the imaging data of the ophthalmic inpatients in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from July 1st to November 31st in 2019 and from July 1st to November 31st in 2020. A total of 516 cases were selected according to the imaging time, including 258 cases in 2019 and 258 cases in 2020. Based on our previous research and the related documents of low-dose CT screening, a series of optimizations on CT scanning parameters and process were carried out in 2020, including the frequency of DR and CT scanning, the number of examinations per capita, the composition ratio of CT and DR, and X-ray dose per capita.Results:In 2020, the average effective doses of chest CT and orbital CT for ophthalmic inpatients were (2.587±1.586) mSv and (0.877±0.733) mSv, significantly lower than those in 2019 ( F=0.52, 0.72, P<0.05), and decreased by 34.82% and 37.13%, respectively. There was no significant difference in the average effective dose of chest DR and head CT between 2020 and 2019 ( F=6.01, 1.81, P>0.05). The number of X-ray examination per capita increased by 0.15 times, and the effective dose increased by 1.44 times (1.589 mSv). Chest DR was the main type of X-ray examination, accounting for 68.79% of all examinations in 2019, while chest CT was the main type, accounting for 71.05% in 2020. The composition of chest CT in 2020 increased by 63.17% compared with 2019, and the compositions of chest DR, orbital CT and cranial CT were decreased by 53.88%, 5.79% and 2.89%, respectively. Conclusions:With dose optimization measures, the single CT dose of ophthalmic inpatients in 2020 was lower than that in 2019. Chest CT increased significantly in frequency, and became main X-ray examination instead of chest DR which made the effective dose of ophthalmic inpatients increasing significantly.
