Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and prognosis of congenital pulmonary artery sling (PAS) in children. MethodsThe clinical data of 38 children diagnosed with PAS during June 2009 and February 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. ResultsIn 38 PAS children, 35 cases (89.47%) were hospitalized for varying degrees of respiratory manifestations with recurrent cough (89.47%) and wheezing (84.21%) being the most common. The remaining 3 cases were found abnormal in routine preoperative examination and the diagnosis was confirmed after further examination. All 38 children were performed computer tomography angiography (CTA). Thirty-seven cases were diagnosed of PAS and diagnostic rate was 97.37%. One case was suspected of pulmonary dysplasia and diagnosed of PAS after operation. Twenty-six children received surgical treatment, of whom 25 children had pulmonary artery reconstruction (LPA). Seven children died during/after operation and 18 survived. The remaining 12 children received non-surgical treatment, of whom 9 died and 3 survived.ConclusionCardiac uhrasonography may reveal PAS in the early stage, while CTA is the best method for conifrmed diagnosis. LPA reconstruction is an important means of relieving left pulmonary artery oppression.

Objective To determine the thermal conductivity under different temperatures and concentrations, and specific heat capacity under different concentrations of water extracts of Salvia Miltiorrhiza Radix et Rhizoma; To establish the mathematical model of thermal conductivity-temperature, thermal conductivity-concentration, thermal conductivity-temperature-concentration and specific heat capacity-concentration of water extracts of Salvia Miltiorrhiza Radix et Rhizoma. Methods Thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity were measured by the instantaneous double hot wire thermal conductivity meter and the electrothermal specific heat capacity meter. Excel, 1stOpt and MATLAB were used to analyze the experimental data. Results The method of using brix to facilitate and accurately characterize the concentration was established. The relationship between the thermal conductivity and the temperature and the concentration of water extracts of Salvia Miltiorrhiza Radix et Rhizoma were all linearly negative (λ=a-bT, λ=a-bC), and the influence of temperature and concentration on the thermal conductivity had a certain interaction. λ=a-bC-cT-dCT could be used as the temperature and the concentration on the thermal conductivity of the integrated role model. And the specific heat capacity of the extract was negatively correlated with the concentration (cp=a-bC). Conclusion The thermal conductivity and the specific heat capacity of the extract of water extracts of Salvia Miltiorrhiza Radix et Rhizoma are different at different temperatures and concentrations, and the model can be used to characterize the changing law of thermodynamics of the extracts. It can provide guidance significance for the thermal characteristics analysis in TCM pharmaceutical process and TCM production equipment selection and design, and production process control.

Objective To investigate the possible risk factors for prognosis of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) in children and to improve the recognition of the disease.Methods The study included 62 DAH pediatric patients hospitalized from January, 2006 to January, 2016. Clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. According to the basic diseases, children were divided into immune associated DAH and non-immune associated DAH to explore the effect of early glucocorticoid treatment on the two groups of DAH. Based on the prognosis, the patients were divided into the death group and the survival group to analyze its related risk factors.Results Of the 62 patients, 20 were of immune associated DAH, 42 of non-immune associated DAH. There was no signiflcant difference of early treatment with glucocorticoid between the two groups (P>0.05). In our cohort, 30 patients died, the total mortality was 48.4% (30/62). Pediatric critical illness score may be the independent risk factor for DAH mortality.Conclusions DAH is an acute, life-threatening event, the lower the pediatric critical illness score, the higher risk of death.

Objective To analyze the clinical feature and common etiology of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) in children. Methods Clinical data from 138 children with initially diagnosed DAH were retrospectively analyzed. The etiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis had been summarized.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the surgical effect and complications of arytenoid resection in bilateral vocal cord fold paralysis(BVFP) patients via endoscopic laser approach and external cervical approach. METHOD: A total seventy-eight BVFP patients who underwent arytenoid resection surgery via endoscopic laser approach (laser group, n=30) or external cervical approach (external cervical group, n=48) were enrolled in this study. Videostroboscopy, vocal perception evaluation, maximum phonation time (MPT) text were preformed in all patients both preoperatively and postoperatively. The decannulation rate was also calculated. RESULT: Videostroboscopy showed that vocal fold on the operated side in both groups could abduct to various extent postoperatively, which showed significant difference when compared with preoperative abductive movements (P<0. 05). Postoperative glottal closure showed various increment in both groups. However, when with preoperative glottal closure, external cervical group showed significant difference (P < 0. 05), while laser group showed no significant difference (P> 0. 05). Postoperative videostroboscopy showed no significant difference in vocal fold position and glottal closure between these two groups(P>0. 05). Vocal perceptual evaluation(RBH score) showed a significant deterioration in voice quality postoperatively in both groups respectively (P<. 05). Postoperative MPT values showed no significant difference between the two groups (P>. 05). However, they were significantly shorten/shorter than preoperative ones in these two groups respectively (P<0. 05). The overall decannulation rate were 90. 0% and 95. 8% for laser group and external cervical group respectively. In Both groups, patients presented aspiration symptoms postoperatively, except one patient of external cervical group who developed pneumonia due to recurrent aspiration. CONCLUSION Arytenoid resection surgery via both endoscopic laser approach and external cervical approach can both enlarge glottic area so as to solve respiration problems, in BVFP patients. Two kinds of surgery have obvious voice damage.
