Objective: Exploring the epidemiological state of pervasive developmental disorder in 2-6 year-old children in Beijing. Methods: A total of 21866 children aged 2-6 year-old were recruited from permanent residents of Beijing by 2-phase cluster sampling.The Clancy Autism Behavior Scale was used for screening.The Childhood Autism Rating Scale and DSM-Ⅳ were used for diagnosis.Results: 16 children were diagnosed as pervasive developmental disorder (14 with autistic disorder, 1 with atypical autistic disorder, 1 with Rett syndrome).The false negative rate was 0.80 ‰.The prevalence of pervasive developmental disorder was 0.73 ‰, the adjusted prevalence was 1.53 ‰,the average annual detective rate was 0.11‰.The prevalence rate had no difference in distribution between urban-rural, among different age groups, sex and nations(?2=0.11~1.85,P=0.739-0.173).The low family income was related to high prevalence significantly ( tendency ?2=4.70,P=0.030 ).25% children with pervasive developmental disorder had not been identified by parents or had not been to clinics.80% children with pervasive developmental disorder had not get intervention.All children had demand to get intervention. Conclusions: The prevalence of pervasive developmental disorder in 2-6 year-old children in Beijing was not low.Low family income is the risk factor.The rate of intervention was low.The government should pay close attention to the children with pervasive developmental disorder and their needs.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics,pathogenic causes and treatment outcomes of acute kidney injury (AKI) in very old patients in order to improving the diagnosis and treatment.Methods 39 AKI patients aged ≥80 years in the department of geriatric medicine of our hospital were enrolled and followed up for 3 months.Clinical and laboratory data were analyzed and the pathogenic causes as well as the treatment outcomes were summarized.Results Among the 39 very old patients,31(79.5％) were male,8(20.5％) were female,and the mean age was (93.5±4.6) years.33 (84.6％)patients had chronic kidney diseases.The pathogenic causes of AKI were mainly as follows:urological infections (71.8％),blood volume deficiency (48.7％),cardiac dysfunction (23.1％) and hypotension (15.4％).2 to 4 pathogenic causes were co present in 64.1％ patients.Renal function was improved and recovered in 69.2 ％ patients and the death rate was 25.6％ after treatment.The main causes of death were septic shock (30.0％),multiple organ failure (20.0％),massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage (20.0％) et al.Conclusions Most of the very old patients may suffer from AKI on the basis of chronic kidney disease.AKI is often induced by multiple pathogenic causes.The main factors leading to AKI are urological infections,followed by blood volume deficiency and cardiac dysfunction.Most patients with AKI can recover after the precipitating factors are removed and supportive treatments are administered in time.Septic shock is the main cause of death.

Objective To establish the extraction process of Zhechong Chuangyu Capsule. Methods The difference of analgesic effect of water extraction and alcohol extraction in mice was observed by body-torsion test to determine the extract solvent. With the rate of aqueous extraction, n-butyl alcohol extraction and asperosaponin Ⅵ as evaluating indicator, the influencing factors including solvent volume, time and times of extraction were investegated to evaluate extracting procedure by orthogonal experiment. Results There was no obvious difference in analgesic effect between water extraction and alcohol extraction. Given the requirement of produce, aqueous extraction was a better choice. The optimum extracting condition was extracted 3 times with 20 folds volume of solvent, and extraction time was 150 minutes. Conclusion The extraction process is feasible to be applied into production.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum adipocyte fatty acid binding protein (FABP4),insulin resistance and maternal complications in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) with satisfactory glucose control.Methods 60 cases of pregnancy between 24 and 28 weeks of OGTT diagnosed GDM pregnant women were selected.30 cases with satisfactory blood sugar control were selected as satisfactory blood sugar control group,30 cases with unsatisfied blood sugar control were selected as unsatisfied blood glucose control group.Healthy control group was selected from 24 to 28 weeks of healthy pregnancy in 30 patients.Fasting serum FABP4,fasting blood glucose(FPG) and fasting insulin(FINS) were measured in three groups of pregnant women after 24 to 28 weeks and pregnant term.To calculate the insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) of the steady state model,and record and observe the complications of the three groups.Results In the satisfactory blood glucose control group,the incidence rates of pregnant hypertensive disorders,excessive amniotic fluid,premature rupture of membranes,postpartum hemorrhage,cesarean section,macrosomia,neonatal asphyxia,neonatal hypoglycemia,hyperbilirubinemia of newborn were 10.0％,6.7％,13.3％,6.7％,23.3％,16.7％,10.0％,16.7％,10.0％,which were significantly lower than those in the unsatisfied blood glucose control group (23.3％,20.0％,23.3％,16.7％,33.3％,33.3％,20.0％,30.0％,36.7％),the two groups had significant differences(x2 =4.33,6.12,6.01,3.97,7.41,5.46,10.02,4.79,9.22,all P ＜ 0.05).The incidence rates of pregnant hypertensive disorders,excessive amniotic fluid,macrosomia between the satisfactory blood glucose control group (10.0％,6.7％,16.7％) and healthy control group(3.3％,0.0％,6.7％) had statistically significant differences (x2 =7.45,8.46,4.69,all P ＜ 0.05).The incidence rates of postpartum hemorrhage,premature rupture of membranes,cesarean section,neonatal asphyxia,neonatal hypoglycemia,neonatal hyperbilirubinemia between the satisfactory blood glucose control group (6.7％,13.3％,23.3％,10.0％,16.7％,10.0％) and healthy control group(10.0％,10.0％,20.0％,6.7％,13.3％,3.3％) had no statistically significant differences (all P ＞ 0.05).Pregnant 24 ～ 28 weeks,FABP4,FINS,FPG and HOMA-IR of the satisfactory blood glucose control group were (1.78 ± 0.33) ng/mL,(12.35 ± 0.48) mIU/L,(5.51 ± 0.96) rmmol/L,(3.88 ± 0.55),which of the unsatisfied blood glucose control group were (2.36 ± 0.08) ng/mL,(13.92 ± 1.17) mIU/L,(5.46 ±0.74)mmol/L,(3.95 ± 1.17),the differences between the two groups were not statistically significant (all P ＞ 0.05),and compared with the healthy control group,the differences were statistically significant(t =15.32,10.36,11.54,7.34,all P ＜ 0.05).After term pregnancy,the FINS,HOMA-IR of the satisfactory blood glucose control group were still higher than those in the healthy control group,the differences were statistically significant(all P ＜ 0.05).However,FABP4,FPG between the satisfactory blood glucose control group and healthy control group had no statistically significant differences (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion With the control of blood glucose levels,decreased in patients with GDM FABP4,fasting blood glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin level,but high insulin resistance still persists and glycemic control satisfaction does not completely reduced the occurrence of the complications in both mothers and neonates.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of hydrophilic polymers on the stability of self-microemulsifying drug deliv-ery systems (SMEDDS). METHODS:Taking felodipine (FDP) as model drug,the content of FDP was determined by HPLC method. The effects of pure water,0.5% Kollidon VA64,HPMC E5,HPMC K100LV,HPMC K4M,PVP K30 solution,while 0.1%,0.5% and 1.0% HPMC E5 and Kollidon VA64 on residual content of dissolved FDP were determined in SMEDDS. RE-SULTS:The residual contents of dissolved FDP in SMEDDS placed in Kollidon VA64,HPMC E5,HPMC K100LV,PVP K30, HPMC K4M and pure water for 1 h were 92.7%,63.6%,50.2%,46.2%,36.0%and 24.0%,respectively. The order of maintain-ing the supersaturation state was Kollidon VA64>HPMC E5>HPMC K100LV>PVP K30>HPMC K4M>pure water. The residu-al contents of dissolved FDP in SMEDDS placed in 0.1%,0.5%,1% Kollidon VA64 and HPMC E5 and pure water for 1 h were 93.2%,95.1%,96.0% and 48.4%,62.1%,75.1%. CONCLUSIONS:Kollidon VA64 and HPMC E5 can significantly inhibit drug release in SMEDDS and be used as stabilizer of SMEDDS,wherein Kollidon VA64 was better.

Objective To study CT features of thymoma,so that to improve the accuracy of CT diagnosis and differential diagnosis.Methods 31 cases of thymomas proved by surgery and pathology were examined with conventional CT scans.CT findings of thymoma were analyzed.Results The lesions in 27 cases(87.1%)were located in the anterior upper and middle mediastinum.There were benign lesion in 11,including mass-cardiovascular interface(MCI) with convex type(8 cases),flatness type(1 cases) and concave type(2 cases).20 cases were malignant lesion,including MCI with cast type(18 cases) and concave type(2 cases).Irregular invasion to adjacent organs was found in 11 cases,others included pericardiac effusion(n=6),pericardial and mediastinal invasion(n=2),pleural effusion(n=4),pneumonia(n=2),lung,bone,mediastinal lymphadens metastasis(n=2) and liver,pancreas metastasis(n=1).Conclusion CT scans is of significant value in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of thymoma.

Objective To prospectively investigate the characteristics and correlative influential factors for the changes in pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH)in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients without end-stage renal disease.Methods Complete clinical and laboratory data of 133 outpatients without ESRD (CKD stage 2,3 and 4)in Beijing Hospital between January 2012 and January 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Pulmonary artery systolic pressure(PASP)was assessed by echocardiography according to the guideline from the American Society of Echocardiography in 2010,and PASP more than 35 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa)was diagnosed as PAH.Results PAH was found in twelve(9.0 ％) patients,including 7 females and 5 males,with mean age(82.9 ± 5.4 years).The prevalence of PAH was 2.3％,10.9％ and 17.6％ in the patients of CKD stage 2,3 and 4(P＜ 0.05) respectively.PASP could be calculated in 67 patients in whom tricuspid regurgitation was present.The mean PASP was (27.1 ± 5.4) mmHg,(31.0 ± 8.3) mmHg and (37.3 ± 13.8) mmHg in patients with CKD stage 2,3 and 4,respectively(P ＜ 0.05).Body mass index(BMI),eGFR and BUN showed significant differences between PAH group and non-PAH group with statistical significance (P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the lower BMI and the higher stage of CKD were independent risk factors for PAH (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions PAH is not a rare complication in the CKD patients without end-stage renal disease.The incidence of PAH is significantly associated with lower BMI and the higher stage of CKD.Doppler echocardiography should be performed periodically to detect PAH in CKD patients in order to improve the prognosis of these patients.
