Objective To put forward the prevention advice on foreign body suction,and to discuss the effica-cy,safety and application experience of flexible bronchoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of tracheobronchial foreign bodies in children. Methods The treatment experience of 38 cases for airway foreign body removal with flexible bron-choscopy and granulation tissue proliferation in Argon plasma coagulation ( APC ) ( argon knife ) combining carbon dioxide( CO2 ) cryotherapy in Bayi Children′s Hospital Affiliated to General Hospital of Beijing Military Command from January 2013 to December 2014 were reviewed,and the clinical data including age,gender,treatment time for inhaled foreign body,clinical and X-ray manifestations,location of the foreign body,treatment with bronchoscopy with APC and cryotherapy,complications and outcomes were analyzed. Results There were 38 cases of patients including 31 male (81. 6%) and 7 female(18. 4%),aged from 10 months to 14 years old,with mean age 28. 5 months;among them there were 30 cases with definite history of foreign body,accounting for 78. 9%;the most common clinical symptom was cough among the cases,accounting for 84. 3%;X ray showed 15 cases with ipsilateral lung atelectasis,accounting for 39. 5%, emphysema in 17 cases,accounting for 44. 7%,pneumonia change in 6 cases,accounting for 15. 8%,there were 11 ca-ses who had lung computerized tomography examination when coming to the hospital,and only 1 case could be seen to have foreign body shadow;microscopic examination found that inhaled foreign body in the right bronchus accounted for 57. 9%,and peanut was the main foreign body inhalation in this group;only 4 cases(10. 5%) had definite diagnosis and foreign body removal within 24 h after foreign body aspiration,moreover,34 cases(89. 5%) with foreign body aspi-ration got the diagnosis and treatment after 24 h;crying was the primary inducement for inhaled foreign body. All the 38 cases of children with inhaled foreign body experienced removal under flexible bronchoscopy. There were 19 cases (50. 0%) who had granulation tissue proliferation around the foreign body,among which 5 cases of foreign body was wrapped by the proliferation of granulation tissue,with APC dealing with the granulation tissue of foreign body surface to remove foreign body after exposure,then giving CO2 cryotherapy. Nevertheless,there were 9 cases of foreign body who had granulation tissue but was not wrapped,receiving CO2 cryotherapy directly after the foreign body removal. One case of this group had bradycardia during the surgery,and 2 cases had postoperative bleeding,but there was no death cases with foreign bodies removal. Conclusions Education is the key to prevent foreign body aspiration in infants under 3 years old. Flexible bronchoscopy is safe to remove foreign bodies from the respiratory tract and has fewer complications, so it is one of the alternative methods in diagnosis and treatment of foreign body inhalation.

Objective To explore the operating methods,the effectiveness and safety for 2 cases of tracheal in-tubation related severe subglottic stenosis under laryngeal mask by using bronchoscopy in the diagnosis and interven-tional treatment. Methods Two male patients ( age at 4 and 11 months) both had difficulty breathing and weaning failure after endotracheal intubation,who were diagnosed with severe subglottic stenosis through CT and bronchoscopy examination. All parents signed their consent after being fully informed of treatment risks. Two cases were treated under bronchoscopic holmium laser combined with argon plasma coagulation and freezing treatment by using the laryngeal mask. The clinical data, complications and postoperative outcome and follow-up were analyzed. Results Two cases were operated successfully,the subglottic granulation tissue of 1 case was completely removed,2 cases of patients had subglottic narrow annular completely removed, and there was no problem for 4. 0 mm bronchoscope to get through,postoperative tracheal catheter was successfully extracted,dyspnea was significantly improved. Two cases imme-diately showed well open after treatment,7 d,30 d and 90 d through endoscopic examination. During the operation,oxy-gen saturation decreased and heart rate increased fast or slowed down,but after operation and oxygen got resumed,they immediately recovered,and there were no abnormal hemodynamic changes during and after operation. The two cases were still under follow-up. Conclusions The laryngeal mask holmium laser,argon plasma coagulation and cryotherapy can be used to remove acquired granulation tissue hyperplasia caused by subglottic stenosis,which is safe and effective, and the short-term effect was remarkable. Long-term effect still needs to be further assessed through follow-up.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of continuous blood purification (CBP) in treatment of children with severe sepsis,and analyze the changes of severity of illness and inflammatory factors,which can provide the proof for treatment of children with severe sepsis.Methods Twenty cases with severe sepsis admitted to pediatric intensive care unit of Bayi Children's Hosptial Affiliated to General Hospital of Beijing Military Commond from Aug 2008 to May 2011 were treated with CBP.The mean arterial blood pressure,boost dosages,urine output,arterial blood gases,and oxygenation index were collected before CBP and 12,24,48 hours after CBP treatment.The levels of interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Pediatric critical illness scores were assessed before and 48 h after CBP treatment.Results After the treatment of CBP,16 children were clinical improvement,2 died,2 abandoned the treatment.CBP was effective in the treatment by rising the mean arterial blood pressure (P ＜ 0.01),decreasing the dosages of dopamine and epinephrine (P ＜ 0.01),increasing urine output(P ＜ 0.01).The value of pH and base excess returned to normal basically.The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were(706.90 ± 275.95) ng/L,(989.67 ± 386.33) ng/L before the CBP.The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α decreased to (162.59 ± 63.47) ng/L,(439.08 ± 159.37) ng/L at 48 h after CBP treatment (P ＜0.01).The pediatric critical illness scores were 67.59 ± 25.02 and 87.05 ± 32.81 before CBP and at 48 h after CBP,which showed significant difference (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The treatment of CBP can remove inflammatory factors in children with severe sepsis and improve the severity of illness.

Objective To investigate the direct and indirect MRI manifestations of anterior cruciate ligament(ACL)tears and discuss its mechanism and diagnostic value.Methods The study involved 40 patients with ACL tears including 37 males and three females at age range of 16-49 years(mean age of 33 years).Arthroscopy and operation confirmed 28 patients at acute phase of ACL tears,12 at chronic phase of ACL tears,35 with complete ACL tears and five with partial ACL tears.All patients were examined on 1.5T Siemens MRI scanner,with SE,TSE or Medic sequence in multiple directions.The direct and indirect MRI manifestations of ACL tears were retrospectively and statistically analyzed by employing three experienced doctors.Results Among 28 patients with acute tears,the direct MRI signs included signal interruption or non-consecutive(86%),uneven signal(64%)and swelling and thickening ligament(36%).While in 12 patients with chronic teats,the MRI signs manifested swelling ligament(92%),signal interruption or non-consecutive(75%)and uneven signal(58%).The sign of thickening ligament was mainly seen at chronic phase of ACL tears(P ＜0.01).Of 35 patients with complete ACL tears,80% occurred in the middle part of ACL,with low incidence of upper and lower parts.All five patients with partial ACL tears occurred in the anteriomedialis bundle.The indirect MRI signs of ACL tears included 7-shaped deformity of posterior cruciate ligament(PCL)(34 patients,85%),meniscus exposure(26 patients)including 16 with lateral meniscus exposure(62%),bone injury(15 patients)including segond fracture(8 patients,53%),widened joint space(9 patients)including 78% at chronic phase,and tibia antelocation(23 patients,57%).Among 40 patients,37 patients were diagnosed correctly preoperatively,with accuracy rate of 92%.While three patients with partial ACL tears were missed diagnosis preoperatively,with inaccuracy rate of 8%.Conclusion ACL tear is relatively easy to identify preoperatively according to direct and indirect MRI signs in combination with trauma history.

OBJECTIVETo explore the safety and the efficacy of bronchoscopic argon plasma coagulation (APC) combined with CO2 freezing for the treatment of airway granulation hyperplasia after pediatric airway stenting.

METHODFrom April 2010 to December 2012, APC combined CO2 cryotherapy was performed for granulation tissue hyperplasia in 8 children after airway stenting, their clinical data, complications and postoperative outcomes and follow-up data were analyzed.

RESULTFive of the 8 cases were male and 3 female, when stenting their age was 2 to 17 months, the average age was (8.63 ± 5.50) months. Granulation tissue hyperplasia appears in the range of bracket covering, common to both ends of the stent. The time from stentinging to find hyperplasia of granulation tissue was 20 days to 19 months. As a result, in 30%-100% of children airway narrowing was found. We applied APC treatment when the bronchoscopy found hyperplasia lesions, then we used CO2 cryotherapy, i.e., freezing was persisted for 1 min twice and more, then the probe was moved until the APC burning area was entirely frozen, dyspnea in children were significantly improved and two cases of atelectasis patients' lung were completely re-expanded. Eight patients had varying degrees of postoperative low to moderate fever, three cases had a small amount of active bleeding after APC treatment, hemostasis was achieved after topical application of endoscopic injection of epinephrine or reptilase bleeding and freezing, no complications occurred with CO2 cryotherapy. According to the efficacy criteria in this article, the result was significantly effective in 6 cases, effective in 1 case, and partially effective in 1 case.

CONCLUSIONAPC combined with CO2 cryotherapy may be one of the optional methods that rapidly eliminates granulation tissue and remove the airway obstruction, so it can be used in treatment of pediatric airway' benign lesions.

Cognitive health is key for older adults to live independently, and exercise intervention can improve cognitive health.Exercise improves cognitive health through a variety of mechanisms, including improvement of cerebral blood perfusion, enhancement of brain capacity and connectivity, promotion of neurogenesis, and release of neurotrophic factors, miRNA and myokines.The exercise mode and dose can affect the effect of exercise intervention on cognitive health.Individualized exercise intervention with a duration of more than 12 weeks and a multi-mode combination is more conducive to improving the cognitive health of older adults.

Objective　To investigate the changes of plasma glial fibrillary acidic protein （GFAP） in patients with Alzheimer ’s disease （AD） and its correlation with cognitive impairment. Methods　asma GFAP levels were analyzed in 34 AD patients and 38 normal controls. We investigated the differences in plasma GFAP levels between the two groups，and analyze the relationship between plasma levels of GFAP and cognitive function. Results　The plasma GFAP level in the AD patients ［1253（964～1584） pg/ml］ was significantly higher than that in the normal controls ［874（698～1079）］（P<0.001）. Plasma GFAP levels might be helpful to the identification of AD from normal control with a sensitivity of 58.8% and a specificity of 86.8%. Plasma GFAP levels correlated with the mini-mental state examination （r=-0.42，P<0.001） and Montreal cognitive assessment score （r=-0.38，P<0.001）. Conclusion　Plasma GFAP might be a potential biomarker in the differential diagnosis and evaluation of AD，and it is worthy of further study.
