Objective To explore the efficacy of fluconazole mouthwash by means of oxygen-driven atomizing inhalation for treating the pediatric oral fungal infections. Methods A total of 60 cases of child patient from the department of Pediatrics of Jiaozhou People's Hospital have been selected and divided into control group and test group with 30 cases for each group by the method of random number table. The sodium bicarbonate solutions as well as the fluconazole capsules were used for the two groups of children patients. Everyday there were five doses of sodium bicarbonate solution as follows:one after getting up in the morning, one after breakfast/lunch/dinner, and one before bedtime by gargling for three minutes followed by spitting. Daily dose of fluconazole capsules was 3 mg/kg, with 50 ml of NS added for preparing a solution of 1-3 mg/ml. Differences between the two groups are as follows. The control group used the traditional method of gargling. The prepared fluconazole solution was divided into five doses for gargling followed by swallowing which were carried out two hours after the sodium bicarbonate solution. The test group used the oxygen-driven atomizing inhalation therapy. The intervals with the sodium bicarbonate solution were two hours. Before the oxygen-driven atomizing inhalation therapy, the children patients had gargled with water to remove the food debris inside the mouth. Next, the daily dose was divided into five doses to be added into the nebulizers for carrying out the oxygen-driven atomizing inhalation therapy focusing on the exposed ulcer areas. The difference in healing time of oral fungal infection of different position and degree between both groups of child patient has been observed. Results The healing time of oral mucositis at different position of both groups has been compared with each other, with the exception of gingival position, the healing time of child patients in test group at the position of cheek, palate, tongue, pharynx, lips and so on was respectively (6.67±1.68) d, (6.38±1.80) d, (6.36±1.96) d, (6.50±1.60) d and (5.00±0.82) d, which were all better than that of the control group, which was (8.13 ± 2.13) d,(8.00 ± 2.14) d,(8.23 ± 2.13) d, (8.67 ± 1.75) d and (7.20 ± 1.48) d, the difference between both groups was statistically significant(t=2.14-2.64, P<0.05);the healing time of child patients in test group with a degree ranging from I to IV was respectively (5.10±0.88) d, (7.92±1.32) d,(8.00±1.00 )d and (10.25±0.96)d,which were all better than that of the control group, which was(6.36±0.81)d,(9.00±1.29) d,(10.33 ± 0.58)d and(12.33 ± 0.58)d,the difference between both groups was statistically significant(t=2.10-3.50,P<0.05). Conclusions It's suitable for oral care of children patients if we replace the fluconazole mouthwash with the oxygen-driven atomizing inhalation therapy which can reduce the severity of oral mucositis and shorten the healing time.

Objective To investigate the pharmacological mechanism of LXHX capsule. Methods The skin specimens from psoriasis patients were examined with TUNEL (terminal deoxynucleotidyl trans-ferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling) technique to detect the apoptosis of keratinocytes. PCNA (proliferating cell nuclear antigen) detecting kits was used, too. Then, the flow cytometry, with AnnexinV/PI and PI dyeing method, was used to analysis the effect of LXHX capsule on apoptosis in cultured keratinocytes. Results There was an increasing of both cell apoptosis and proliferation in psoriatic epidermis and LXHX capsule could induce apoptosis. Conclusions The keratinocyte apoptosis and proliferation both increased in psoriasis, which reach a new balance in a higher level. LXHX capsule could induce apoptosis in vitro, which may be one of the pharmacological mechanisms of LXHX in treating psoriasis.

Objective To evaluate the role of multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) in the diagnosis of pulmonary sequestration.Methods MSCT scans of 18 cases of pulmonary sequestration proved by surgery and pathology were reviewed.All cases underwent plain and contrast enhanced CT scanning,and retrospective reconstruction was made.Various reconstruction techniques in displaying the pulmonary sequestration and associated malformation were evaluated.Results Anomalous systemic arterial supply was discovered by transverse CT images in 12 cases.The reconstructed images using multiple methods showed the aberrant artery more clearly in all cases,including 6 cases in which the abnormalities were not confirmed by transverse CT.Drainage vein was revealed in 13 cases and lung heteroplasia with other malformation was demonstrated in 14 cases.Volume rendering (VR) reconstruction is the optimal choice for displaying the abnormal vessels and airway.Conclusion Enhanced MSCT with image post-processing can show the abnormal artery and vein of the pulmonary sequestration and the associated malformation,so it is the first choice in diagnosing pulmonary sequestration in pediatric population.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of scoliosis among primary and middle school students in Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide insights into scoliosis control among children and adolescents. Methods: Grade 4 to 6 primary school students and grade 1 to 3 junior high school students were recruited using a stratified cluster sampling method in Jiaxing City in 2019. Participants' demographic characteristics, dietary habits and nutritional status, physical activity, learning environments, reading and writing habits were collected using questionnaires. Scoliosis was screened through general examinations, forward bend test and scoliometer, and scoliosis was diagnosed with whole-spine X-ray scans in an erect position. The prevalence of scoliosis was descriptively analyzed among primary and middle school students. Results: A total of 8 026 primary and middle school students were included, 7 304 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 91.00%. The respondents included 3 667 primary school students (50.21%) and 3 637 junior high school students (49.79%), and included 3 776 boys (51.70%) and 3 528 girls (48.30%). There were 659 participants with initial screening positive for scoliosis (9.02%), and the percentages of positive initial screening of thoracic, thoracolumbar and lumbar scoliosis were 2.93%, 4.56% and 4.56%, respectively. A higher percentage of positive initial screening of scoliosis was diagnosed among participants living in Pinghu City (10.45%), junior high school students (11.74%), girls (11.96%), students with a medical history of anemia (22.44%), students with less than 3 days of moderate-intensity physical activity in the past week (9.46%), students with less than 3 days of walking duration of over 10 minutes in the past week (10.18%), students with daily sitting duration of 5 hours and more in the past week (10.74%), students with their class seats exchanged every semester or month (10.28%), students with daily reading and writing duration of 3 hours and more after school (10.93%) and students with less than 10 cm distance from the chest at reading or writing to the edge of the table (9.67%) (all P<0.05). A total of 218 students received whole-spine X-ray scans in an erect position, 132 participants were definitively diagnosed as scoliosis (60.55%), and the estimated prevalence of scoliosis was 5.46%. Conclusion The percentage of positive initial screening of scoliosis was 9.02% among primary and middle school students in Jiaxing City. Gender, stage of learning, nutritional status, exercise frequency and habits of reading and writing may be factors affecting the development of scoliosis.

Malignant hyperthermia is a well-recognized syndrome of uncertain etiology. The confusing facts are: the variety and different nature of the triggering agents, the variation in time of onset of rigidity and fever coupled with a variation in response to succinylcholine, the lack of family history in some patients, and its occurence in some who have had previously normal general anesthetics. A case is a 23 year old relatively healthy male patient in whom subtotal gastrectomy was performed under N2O-O2-ether and gallamine anesthesia with induction after pentothal sodium and succinylcholine. This was complicated by an abrupt, high rise in body temperature, muscle rigidity, flushing with peripheral cyanosis, disseminated intravascular coagulation and hyperpnea 40 minutes after induction. He died 3 hours after cessation of anesthesia without effective response to any active antipyretic therapy. The etiologic factors, incidence, clinical feature, prevention, treatment and prognosis of malignant hyperthermia are discussed.

Objective To determine the value of applying LIIR Automatic Analysis System of Infrared Spectroscopy in analyzing urinary stone composition. Methods 1450 samples of urinary stones were collected from 1032 male and 418 female patients. The age of patients ranged from 6 months to 88 years. The mean ages were 41.7±15.3 and 42.0±15.6 years for male and female patients, respectively. Of 1450 stones, 875 cases were located in kidney (60.34%), 504 cases in ureter (34.76%) and 71 cases in bladder (4.90%). All stones were analyzed by LIIR Automatic Analysis System of Infrared Spectroscopy (Tianjin). Analysis results were reevaluated by the artificial analysis of spectrogram, if necessary, with polarization microscope, chemical analysis, and X-ray diffraction.Results Calcium oxalate monohydrate stones were found in 714 cases (49. 24%), carbonate apatite stones in 444 cases (30.62%), anhydrous uric acid stones in 93 cases (6.41%), calcium oxalate dihydrate stones in 92 cases (6. 34 % ), ammonium magnesium phosphate hexahydrate stones in 28 cases (1.93%), cystine stones in 23 cases (1.59%), ammonium urate stones in 20 cases (1.38%), uric acid dihydrate stones in 16 cases (1.10%), brushite stones in 12 cases (0.83%), sodium urate monohydrate stones in 2 cases (0. 14%), calcium carbonate stones in 1 cases (0. 07%), and other stone types in 5 cases (0. 34%). Most urinary stones were composed of 2 or more compositions, and pure stones were only observed in 397 cases (27.38%). Most of the mixed stones contained calcium and non-calcium mixed stone was rarely observed. In addition, 15 stones were found in infants who had consumed melamine-contaminated milk powder. These stones were composed of uric acid dihydrate and ammonium urate. The results of reevaluation by artificial analysis showed the following: among pure and mixed stones, false detection occurred in 6 cases (0.41%), of which the composition was ammonium urate or carbonate apatite determined by automatic system but the true composition was anhydrous uric acid. False negative detection occurred in 9 cases (0.62%), of which the composition was ammonium magnesium phosphate hexahydrate or carbonate apatite in 7 cases, but in other 2 cases the composition could not be determined by artificial analysis. The false negative detection of components with relatively low content occurred in 6 cases and 10 cases in stones with 2 components and 3 components, respectively. The undetected composition in these cases was ammonium magnesium phosphate hexahydrate or carbonate apatite. Conclusion Automatic Analysis System of Infrared Spectroscopy has many advantages in accuracy, automation and is quick in analyzing the composition of urinary stones, and is worthy of promotion in clinical use.
