Uterine artery embolization(UAE)is a safe and effective method for uterine leiomyomas but its long and middle term effects are definite. Furthermore it bears some exguisite comparision with the conventional therapy but not as a radical one, with a tendency. However, to develop new leiomyomas and recurrence after UAE, there for all patients should be monitored with clinical and imaging examinations for more than 2 years after the procedure. At present,a few literatures involving the factors that could influence the effects of UAE have been issued. It is necessary to carry on large-scale clinical research of the related factors influencing the results of UAE in order to guide clinical practice correctly and swiftly.(J Intervent Radiol, 2006, 15: 503-506)

0.05).In the group with primary common bile duct suture,the occurrence of bile leakage was relative with hyperglycemia(P0.05).Conclusion It is the key factors,including chosing appropriate patients, intraoperative special examination, careful manipulation and effective medical treatment that can reduce the morbidity of bile leakage.

Objective To explore the value of polymerase chain reaction(PCR) to detect pathogens in ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP) in children undergoing congenital heart disease(CHD) operation. Methods Forty-eight children selected from 95 cases with VAP underwent CHD operation were admitted in the department of CICU in our hospital from November 2016 to July 2017.Sputum specimens were separately collected by the bronchoalveolar lavage(BAL) and endotracheal tube attracts(ETA) methods,and the patho-gens were detected by culture and PCR assay.Results Nineteen specimens were found to be positive after 72 h of culture.A total of 20 pathogens were detected and 2 samples were mixed infection(more than one pathogen),and the positive rate was 39.2%(19/48).For PCR assay,44 pathogens from 31 samples were detected for just 24 h,22 samples were single pathogen infection,9 samples were mixed pathogen infection, and the positive rate was 65.3%(31/48).Compared with culture method,PCR assay could sharply increase the detection rate of every pathogen.Besides,the positive rate of the BAL or ETA for PCR assay was almost the same(45/48). Conclusion PCR assay for detecting pathogens is rapid,accurate and effective,which should be combined with culture method to detect for infectious pathogen.The ETA is the desired method to collect the sputum of the patients.

Objective To investigate the prognostic value of serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipid transport protein (NGAL) and renal injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) in assessing neonatal sepsis with a-cute renal injury. Methods A total of 63 cases of renal injury with neonatal sepsis was collected from De-partment of Pediatrics, Affiliated Children's Hospital of Capital Institute of Pediatrics. The general condition of the patients, and neonatal critical case score ( NCIS) were recorded. The expressions of NGAL and KIM-1 in serum of all children were measured by venous blood and urine. Each case was followed up for 28 days to track the death of newborns. Pearson correlation analysis was used to test the correlation among NGAL, KIM-1, and NCIS;Multivariate regression analysis was used for NGAL, KIM-1, and other risk factors asso-ciated with neonatal sepsis kidney injury 28 days mortality. Receiver operating characteristic ( ROC) curve was used to compare the value of NGAL and KIM-1 in the prognosis of neonatal sepsis renal injury. The val-ues of NGAL and KIM-1 in the prognosis of neonatal sepsis renal injury were analyzed by ROC curve. Re-sults ⑴ After 28 days of follow-up, 63 cases of neonatal sepsis, and 22 died were found, which was ac-counted for 34. 92 percent of the total. ⑵ Compared to the survival group, the expressions of NGAL and KIM-1 in the death group were increased ( P<0. 01 ) . ⑶ Pearson correlation analysis showed that NGAL and KIM-1 expressions in peripheral blood were negatively correlated with NCIS. ⑷Multivariate regression analysis showed that NGAL and KIM-1 were independent risk factors for neonatal sepsis kidney injury ( P<0. 01). ⑸ ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of NGAL and KIM-1 was 0. 79 (95％CI:0. 75-0. 93), and 0. 84 (95％ CI:0. 71-0. 90), NGAL and KIM-1 were better than single detection with NGAL, or KIM-1, area under curve (AUC) was 0. 89 (95％ CI:0. 78-0. 94) (P<0. 01). Sensitiv-ity of KIM-1 was superior to that of NGAL, and specificity of NGAL was superior to KIM-1. The sensitivity and specificity of both were better than single detection with NGAL and KIM-1. Conclusions NGAL and KIM-1 have good predictive value in assessing neonatal sepsis kidney injury mortality.

Objective:To compare the clinical characteristics of congenital chylothorax in preterm and term infants.Method:From January 2011 to December 2019, the clinical data of infants with congenital chylothorax admitted to our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The infants were assigned into preterm group (<37 weeks) and term group (≥37 weeks) according to their gestational age. The general information, clinical manifestations, laboratory results, treatment and prognosis of the two groups were compared.Result:A total of 34 infants with congenital chylothorax were included, including 11 premature infants and 23 term infants. No significant differences existed in gender, delivery mode, prenatal diagnosis of pleural effusion, congenital heart disease/chromosome abnormality, birth asphyxia, dyspnea, fetal edema, and location of effusion between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared with term group, preterm group had significantly fewer leukocytes [3 245(1 007, 7 403)×10 6/L vs. 10 214(6 233,16 458)×10 6/L] and lower protein level [(28.1±7.6) g/L vs. (33.3±6.3) g/L] in the pleural fluid ( P<0.05). No significant differences existed in the proportion of pleural lymphocytes between the two groups ( P>0.05). The proportion of mechanical ventilation (MV) in the preterm group was statistically higher than that the term group [100%(11/11) vs. 65.2%(15/23)], and the duration of MV was statistically longer than the term group [(16(10,25) d) vs. (1(0,11) d)] ( P<0.05). No significant differences existed between the two groups in the application of other treatment options (thoracentesis/drainage, fasting, octreotide and erythromycin pleural injection), time needed for the disappearance of effusion, duration of hospital stay and cure/improvement rate ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Preterm infants may have lower leukocyte count and protein level in the pleural effusion than the term infants. Both preterm and term infants have higher proportion of lymphocytes in the pleural effusion fluid. Although most preterm infants need ventilator support after delivery, most of them achieve complete remission after conservative treatment and the overall prognosis is as good as term infants.
