Objective To determine risk factors and treatments of capillary leak syndrome (CLS) in infants with congenital heart disease(CHD)after extracorporeal bypass (GBP) . Method A retrospective study of 38 infants with CIS and another 150 cases without CLS of a random choice who underwent extracoiporeal bypass from June 2003 to July 2007 was carried out.Several risk factors with statistical significance were screened out with uni-varite logistic regression analysis, and the independent rask factors of CLS were determined with inultivariate step-wise logistic regression analysis. The outcome of CIS infants was compared with infants of control group. Results Logistic analysis showed the risk factors of CLS were the duration of GBP ( OR = 10. 353) , type of CHD ( OR = 6. 912), age ( OR = 6. 254) and temperature of CBP ( OR = 4. 151) . Of the CLS infants cohort, 10 cases underwent peritoneal dialysis and 4 cases died. Conclusions The risk factors of CLS in infants after CBP are the length of time consumed during CBP, type of CHD, age and temperature of CBP.

Abstract: Objective To retrospectively analyze the individual dose monitoring of radiation workers in Chongqing City from 2016 to 2020, so as to provide scientific reference for occupational health monitoring and radiation protection. Methods Radiation workers who performed individual dose monitoring in Chongqing Center for Disease Control and Prevention from 2016 to 2020 were selected as the research objects, and the monitoring data were collected and analyzed. Results A total of 40 926 individuals were included in this study, with a total of 135 622 person-years. The average annual individual effective dose of radiation workers over the five-year period was 0.56 mSv. NR1 and NR5, the ratio of the number of works receiving annual individual does exceeding 1 and 5 mSv to the to the total monitor workers were 13.019% and 0.335%. The annual effective dose per capita in Chongqing City showed a trend of first decreasing, then increasing and then decreasing again over the study period, with significant differences between different years (F=971.754, P<0.001). Although there were some differences in the variation trend of annual effective dose among different occupational categories, the overall trend was decreasing year by year. The average annual effective dose of nuclear medicine and interventional radiology was relatively high, and the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The average annual effective dose of industrial flaw detection and accelerator operator in industrial application was relatively higher, and the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the per capita effective doses of different occupational categories of medical application in different years (F=8.892-682.852, P<0.001). Among them, the per capita annual effective doses of five occupational categories of medical application were the highest in 2016, and the per capita annual effective doses of interventional radiology were the highest in 2018 and 2019. Conclusions The per capita annual effective dose of radiation staff in Chongqing has decreased year by year from 2016 to 2020, and remained at a relatively low level that meets national standards. The monitoring results suggest that the radiation staff of nuclear medicine, interventional radiology, industrial non-destructive testing and accelerator operator should give special attention to protect their occupational health and safety.
