OBJECTIVE:To investigate the characteristics of pediatric drug-induced liver injury (DILI) in China,and to provide reference for reducing ADR.METHODS:Using"liver injury liver damage hepatotoxicity hepatitis liver disease""drug induced children" as keywords,related domestic literatures were retrieved from CNKI and Wanfang database during 2007-2016,clinical information of DILI children in literatures were recorded in detail and analyzed comprehensively.RESULTS:A total of 363 literatures were retrieved,including 13 effective literatures and 665 children in total.There were 424 boys (63.76％)and 241 girls (36.24％),with ratio of 1.76 ∶ 1.The youngest child was 1 month old,the oldest child was 14 years old;the average age was 7.87 years,337 children aged more then 7 years old,accounting for 50.68％.Top 3 primary diseases were respiratory tract infection (40 cases,31.50％),hematologic diseases (29 cases,22.83％) and tumor (14 cases,11.02％).Top 3 pediatric DILI-inducing drug types were antibiotics (245 cases,34.41％),TCM (143 cases,20.08％) and antipyretic analgesics (113 cases,15.87％).DILI usually happened within 4 weeks (332 cases,82.18％).The most common clinical classification was hepatocellular type (382 cases,65.30％).The severity of liver injury was mainly mild and moderate (505 cases,86.32％),and 80 cases were severe (13.68％),including 31 cases of hepatic failure (5.30％).Clinical symptoms mainly manifested as anorexia,jaundice,nausea,vomiting,hypodynamia and abdominal discomfort.After drug withdreawd and treatment,96.54％ of the patients were recovered or cured,and 4 cases died (0.60％).CONCLUSIONS:Under the premise of rational use of drugs,it is necessary to carry out medication education and supervision for antibiotics,TCM and antipyretic analgesics which mainly induce pediatric DILI,pay attention to allergic history and evaluate the progress of extrahepatic symptoms.When ADR occurred,the timely and drug withdrawal intervention are conducted to improve good prognosis.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the feasibility of establishing an integrated regional network for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) care in China and evaluate the implementation effect of this network.

METHODSBased on real-time electrocardiogram transmission technology, we established an integrated regional network for STEMI care (IRN-STEMI) with Xiamen Heart Center as the core center, 120 Emergency Systems, PCI-capable hospitals and other community health units as core elements of this network. Reperfusion treatment data of Xiamen Heart Center including the number of patients receiving primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the mean first medical contact to balloon (FMC-to-B) time, the mean door to balloon (D-to-B) time, the mean length of hospital stay, the mean medical cost and in-hospital mortality were compared before (n = 165) and at 1 year after the built-up of IRN-STEMI (n = 343).

RESULTSCompared to pre-IRN-STEMI era, primary PCI ratio (84.5% (290/343) vs. 75.5% (185/245)) were significantly increased post establishment of IRN-STEMI within the network (P = 0.06). STEMI patients admitted in Xiamen Heart Center was significantly increased from 165 to 256, the annual mean FMC-to-B time ((110.3 ± 34.0)min vs. (137.9 ± 58.5) min, P < 0.01) and D-to-B ( (76.5 ± 33.0) min vs. (107.3 ± 38.0) min, P < 0.01) , as well as the mean medical cost were significantly decreased ( (51 398 ± 22 100) RMB vs. (56 970 ± 24 593) RMB, P < 0.05), while the mean length of hospital stay ((9.0 ± 4.3)d vs. (9.7 ± 4.8)d, P > 0.05) and in-hospital mortality (3.1% (8/256) vs. 3.0% (5/165) , P > 0.05) remained unchanged before and after the setting of IRN-STEMI in Xiamen Heart Center.

CONCLUSIONEstablishment of an integrated regional network system for STEMI patients in China is feasible. With collaboration of qualified heart center, EMS and PCI-capable and non-PCI capable local hospitals, establishment of IRN-STEMI effectively increased the ratio of primary PCI for STEMI patients, it also significantly shortened the FMC-to-B and D-to-B time, decreased mean medical cost, thus, the regional IRN-STEMI network might be an effective working system for improving the medical care for STEMI patients.

Brain decoding based on functional magnetic resonance imaging has recently enabled the identification of visual perception and mental states. However, due to the limitations of sample size and the lack of an effective reconstruction model, accurate reconstruction of natural images is still a major challenge. The current, rapid development of deep learning models provides the possibility of overcoming these obstacles. Here, we propose a deep learning-based framework that includes a latent feature extractor, a latent feature decoder, and a natural image generator, to achieve the accurate reconstruction of natural images from brain activity. The latent feature extractor is used to extract the latent features of natural images. The latent feature decoder predicts the latent features of natural images based on the response signals from the higher visual cortex. The natural image generator is applied to generate reconstructed images from the predicted latent features of natural images and the response signals from the visual cortex. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations were conducted with test images. The results showed that the reconstructed image achieved comparable, accurate reproduction of the presented image in both high-level semantic category information and low-level pixel information. The framework we propose shows promise for decoding the brain activity.
