Objective To explore the clinical effects of the combination of the self-made negative pressure drainage and Nano-Silver dressings on postoperative infection of incision.Methods A total of 84 patients with post-operative incision infection in the First People's Hospital of Xiangtan City from January 2013 to December 2015 were selected and divided into the observation group and the control group with 42 cases in each by random number table method.The observation group was treated with self-made negative pressure device combined with Nano-Silver dressing at the early stage,while the control group was treated with iodoform gauze dressing.When the wound bed granulation grew well,the two groups were treated with calcium alginate dressing or two stage suture until healed.The inflammatory index,incision growth and therapeutic effect of the two groups were compared.Results A week after treatment,the white blood cell,C reactive protein,incisional pain score and the change cost of the observation group were (7.62 ± 2.15) × 109/L,(19.33 ± 23.46) mg/L,(2.83 ± 0.82) and (570.13 ± 33.88) Yuan,which were all lower than those of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (t=2.592,2.695,7.497,7.752;P < 0.05).100% coverage time of the incisional granulation tissue in the observation group was (3.86 ± 1.37) d,and the healing time of the whole incision was (12.02 ± 2.80) d in the observation group,which were both lower than those in the control group,with statistical significance (t=12.669,6.954;P < 0.01).Conclusions The self-made negative pressure device combined with Nano-Silver dressing is ideal for the treatment of postoperative incision infection,while improving the therapeutic effect of the patients,and reducing the healing time of the incision and the cost of changing the medicine.

Anti neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a systemic disease characterized by small vessel wall inflammation and cellulose necrosis mediated by ANCA. Renal injury caused by AAV is called ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis (AAGN). The paper reported a case of AAV with renal damage combined with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The patient was an elderly male with clinical manifestations of hematuria and uremia. Renal pathological examination showed AAV and renal injury. This case is the first report in China while reviewing the relevant literature, and it is still inconclusive whether this is an overlap of the two diseases or a specific pathological type of HIV-associated nephritis. We believe that AAV has the potential to occur in HIV-infected patients, so clinicians should not ignore the phenomenon of ANCA positivity in HIV-infected patients, and the follow-up of such patients needs to be enhanced. Clinical and renal pathological examinations are the main methods to diagnose HIV infection with AAV. At the same time, there are no clear guideline guidelines on how to administer immunosuppressive therapy for such patients who have immunodeficiency and are at higher risk of opportunistic infections, and in whom to make the best possible outcomes.

Objective:
To evaluate the reliability and validity of warning signs checklist developed by the National Health and Family Planning Commission of the People′s Republic of China (NHFPC), so as to determine the screening effectiveness of warning signs on developmental problems of early childhood.
Method:
Stratified random sampling method was used to assess the reliability and validity of checklist of warning sign and 2 110 children 0 to 6 years of age(1 513 low-risk subjects and 597 high-risk subjects) were recruited from 11 provinces of China. The reliability evaluation for the warning signs included the test-retest reliability and interrater reliability. With the use of Age and Stage Questionnaire (ASQ) and Gesell Development Diagnosis Scale (GESELL) as the criterion scales, criterion validity was assessed by determining the correlation and consistency between the screening results of warning signs and the criterion scales.
Result:
In terms of the warning signs, the screening positive rates at different ages ranged from 10.8%(21/141) to 26.2%(51/137). The median (interquartile) testing time for each subject was 1(0.6) minute. Both the test-retest reliability and interrater reliability of warning signs reached 0.7 or above, indicating that the stability was good. In terms of validity assessment, there was remarkable consistency between ASQ and warning signs, with the
