Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an independent risk factors for stroke.The stroke outcome in patients with AF is poor.The mortality and morbidity were also higher.As for the higher risk of stroke in patients with AF,the application of anticoagulant drugs is needed.Apixaban is an emerging oral direct Ⅹ a factor inhibitor in recent years.Compared to the traditional anticoagulants,such as warfarin,apixaban shows certain advantages in the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with AF.

Objective:
To investigate the difference in behavioral characteristics among different phenotypes of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) using amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF), so as to provide insights into clinical differentiation of behavioral characteristics among different phenotypes of ADHD.
Methods:
The children with ADHD admitted to The Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University were enrolled and classified into the inattentive type (ADHD-I), hyperactive/impulsive type (ADHD-HI) and combined type (ADHD-C). The reaction time (RT) was measured using integrated visual and auditory continuous performance test, and the mean (RT-mean) and standard deviation of RT (RT-SD) were estimated. In addition, the ALFF was calculated at 0.010 to 0.027, 0.027 to 0.073, 0.073 to 0.167 Hz, and the difference of ALFF was compared among children with different types of ADHD.
Results:
A total of 107 children with ADHD were enrolled, including 95 boys and 12 girls, with a mean age of (8.89±1.93) years. There were 69 children with ADHD-I, 8 children with ADHD-HI and 30 children with ADHD-C. The RT-SD was significantly higher among children with ADHD-C than among children with ADHD-I [(126.003±51.619) ms vs. (97.720±45.302) ms; P=0.007]; however, there was no significant difference in RT-mean among children with various ADHD phenotypes (F=1.386, P=0.255). There was an interaction between frequency and ADHD phenotypes (F=2.754, P=0.032), and the ALFF was significantly higher among children with ADHD-C than among children with ADHD-I at 0.010 to 0.027 [(5 590.567±231.595) ms vs. (4 694.001±154.397) ms; P=0.002] and 0.073 to 0.167 Hz [(4 312.609±174.709) ms vs. (3 690.805±116.473) ms; P=0.005].
Conclusions
The ALFF varies in ADHD phenotypes, and there is a frequency-specific difference.

A total of 55 children aged under 14 years with cholecystolithiasis were treated at our hospital between January 2005 to December 2011.Their clinical data were collected and analyzed.The etiologies included pseudolithiasis (n =36),chronic hemolytic disease (n =2),obesity (n =9) and unknown (n =8).Among 50 cases on conservative treatment,42 cases were cured.Four cases underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy.During a follow-up period of 2-4 years,there was no occurrence of significant complications.The removal of gallbladder stone was performed via laparoscopy plus choledochoscope in 1 case.There was no recurrence during a follow-up period of 2 years.Ceftriaxone sodium and obesity were the major cause of pediatric cholecystolithiasis.A proper selection of treatment regimens should be based upon the considerations of etiologies and symptoms.

Objective To systematically assess the clinical efficacy and safety of apixaban versus enoxaparin in the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after major orthopedic surgery.Methods Based on the principles and methods of Cochrane systematic review,the Cochrane Library,PubMed,EMBASE,Chinese Bio-medicine Database,China Journal Full-text Database,VIP Database were searched from their establishment to March 2012 in whatever languages.Related journals were handsearched as well.Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of comparing apixaban and enoxaparin in the prevention of venous thromboembolism after major orthopedic operation were included.Cochrane Collaboration' s tool was used for assessing risk of bias in the included trials.Cochrane Collaboration' s software RevMan 5.1 was used for statistical analysis.Results Four RCTs totaling 12 897 patients were included.Apixaban treatment showed significant differences in aspects of total VTE and all-cause mortality [relative risk (RR) =0.63,95% CI(0.41,0.96)],major VTE [RR =0.59,95% CI(0.19,0.98)] and symptomatic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) [RR =0.50,95% CI(0.26,0.97)] when compared with enoxaparin,but the difference in fatal pulmonary embolism was insignificant[RR =1.57,95% CI(0.41,5.99)].For patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty,apixaban was associated with significantly fewer major bleeding events[RR =0.55,95% CI(0.32,0.96)] and fewer total bleeding events[RR =0.79,95% CI(0.66,0.95)] than enoxaparin.For patients undergoing total hip replacement,however,the two treatments revealed no statistically significant differences.With regard to the incidence of drug-related serious adverse events,the two treatments displayed no significant difference[RR =0.97,95% CI(0.59,1.58)].Conclusion Apixaban is effective in the prevention of VTE after major orthopedic surgery and can significantly reduce the risk of postoperative VTE.
