Objective To evaluate the risk factors for intracranial hemorrhage in premature infants. Methods Cochrane Library, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Chinese Academic Literature Main Database, Chinese Science and Technology Periodi-cal Database, Wanfang Periodicals and Dissertation Database were searched for articles published from January 2000 to December 2012 on the risk factors of intracranial hemorrhage in premature infants, with retrospective retrieval and manual retrieval as supplement. RavMan5.2 provided by Cochrane was used for meta-analysis. Fixed-or random-effects models were selected according to the results of heterogeneity test. Results Nine studies were conifrmed to be eligible. Odds ratio (OR) and 95%conifdence interval (CI) of the risk factors were as follows:gestation age≤32 weeks (OR=3.29, 95%CI=2.76-3.91), birth weight≤1 500g (OR=2.68, 95% CI=2.24-3.20), maternal complications (OR=1.59, 95% CI=1.23-2.06), intrauterine distress or birth asphyxia (OR=2.42, 95% CI=2.06-2.84), mechanical ventilation (OR=3.23, 95% CI=2.55-4.09), metabolic acidosis (OR=2.88, 95%CI=2.04-4.05), use of high concentration of oxygen (OR=2.98, 95%CI=1.63-5.44), prenatal use of dexametha-sone (OR=0.69, 95%CI=0.55-0.86), respiratory distress syndrome (OR=1.57, 95%CI=1.04-2.39). Those differences were all statistically signiifcant. There was no difference in caesarean section (OR=0.99, 95%CI=0.84-1.17), multiparity (OR=1.05, 95%CI=0.79-1.40) and gender (OR=1.25, 95%CI=0.97-1.59). Conclusions The risk factors for intracranial hemorrhage in premature infants are gestation age≤32 weeks, birth weight≤1 500 g, maternal complications, intrauterine distress or birth asphyxia, mechanical ventilation, metabolic acidosis, use of high concentration of oxygen, respiratory distress syndrome, but prenatal use of dexamethasone can reduce the incidence of intracranial hemorrhage in premature infants.

Objective :
To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of heatstroke and its correlation with meteorological factors in Shaoxing in 2017,and to provide evidence for heatstroke prevention and control.
Methods :
The data of heatstroke cases and the daily meteorological indexes were collected from July 2017 to August 2017 in Shaoxing to describe the spatial,temporal and population distribution of heatstroke cases. The correlation between heatstroke and meteorological factors was analyzed by multivariate logistic regression model.
Results :
A total of 759 cases of heatstroke were reported,with an average age of(53.3 ±17.9)years. There were 487 males cases(64.16%)and 272 female cases(35.84%). There were 618 cases of mild heatstroke(81.42%)and 141 cases of severe heatstroke(18.58%). There were six cases of death from severe heatstroke,and the mortality of severe heatstroke was 4.26%. Minimum temperature(rs=0.851,P<0.001),maximum temperature(rs=0.726,P<0.001)and wind speed(rs=0.285,P=0.025)were positively correlated with the incidence of heatstroke,and relative humidity(rs=-0.693,P<0.001)and rainfall(rs=-0.414,P=0.001)were negatively correlated with the incidence of heatstroke. The results of logistic regression analysis showed that high daily minimum temperature was a risk factor for severe heatstroke(OR=1.854,95%CI:1.606-2.140).
Conclusion
The mortality of severe heatstroke patients was high in Shaoxing,the daily minimum temperature was correlated with severe heatstroke.

Objective To improve the understanding of the clinical features, differential diagnosis and prognosis of pachydermodactyly. Methods The clinical data of 20 patients with pachydermo dactyly and follow-up data of 6 patient were analyzed. Results Seventeen out of 20 patients were male. The average onset age was (15±2) years. All of them had asymptomatic, firm swellings which developed insidiously on both sides of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints. All the patients indicated that they were in the compulsive habit of interlacing their fingers and squeezing them. For all patients, biochemical examinations were normal and there was no rheumatoid factor or antinuclear antibodies. X-ray and MRI showed that the thickening of soft tissue around PIP joints without changes in bones or joints structure. Histopathologic findings from the swellings reveMed marked hyperkeratosis, with slight epidermal hyperplasia, and a markedly thickened dermis with whorled, densely aggregated bundles of coarse collagen. Even though 8 patients in the group had gotten rid of the aforesaid habit for 3 to 22 years, the swellings of their PIP joints did not resolve. Conclusion Pachy-dermodactyly is a benign digital fibromatosis which usually involves the PIP joints. It can be distinguished from juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and knuckle pad.

To improve the clinical teaching work, the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) was first introduced into the periodontal clinical assessment held by Departments of Periodon-titis and Mucosal Disease. With the OSCE exam station and item pool established, standardized pa-tients tralned, the examination form reformed, the knowledge, skill, and attitude of the examinee were assessed comprehensively. Compared with traditional exam,the OSCE evaluated the examinee's skills on clinical admissions, history collection, treatment plan development better. Most examinee have got satisfactory result (pass rate: 86.4 %, 19/22; good rate: 36.4%, 8/22; excellent rate: 9.1%, 2/22). The feedback of the following questionnalre also showed that most of the candidates thought the OSCE helpful to promoting the learning of theoretical knowledge (87.5%, 14/16) and good for converting the learned knowledge and skills into occupation ability (87.5%, 14/16).

Objective To observe and analyze the medium and long term follow-up data of arrhythmias after transcatheter closure of children with ventricular septal defect (VSD). Methods Retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 1071 children with VSD, who successfully underwent transcatheter device closure, at l, 3, 6, 12 months and ev-ery year post procedure from March 2002 to December 2010. Results Of all 1071 children, 272 cases (25.4%) were ob-served of having arrhythmias within 1 month after intervention, mainly including atrioventricular block (AVB), branch block, junctional tachycardia, atrial and ventricular tachycardia, frequent contractions, etc. Among them, 22 cases (2.1%) had above II degree AVB, complete left bundle branch block (CLBBB) and other causes of serious arrhythmias. After treatment, all cases got better and no permanent pacemaker was necessary. After 1 to 107 months (2.8±1.7 years) fol-low-up, 161 cases (18.2%) were observed of having persistent abnormal ECG mainly caused by AVB and branch block, including 10 cases (1.1%) with serious arrhythmias. In 4 cases with late-onset AVB, 3 cases had already appeared AVB in early postoperative, 1 case had recurrence CLBBB, left ventricle enlarge, and died of heart failure during follow up. Four cases were implanted permanent pacemaker. Conclusion During follow-up, serious arrhythmias after VSD closure, such as AVB or CLBBB, have high risk of recurring. Conduction block arrhythmias may reappear or worsen, while arrhythmias like tachycardia and premature heart rhythm mostly return to normal.
