Objective To describe the anxiety of caregivers and condition management of preschool asthma children ,and analyze the relation?ship between anxiety and disease management. Methods A total of 208 caregivers of asthma children from two hospitals in Shanghai were select?ed using convenient sampling,and surveyed by self?rating anxiety scale(SAS),condition management ability scale and condition management diffi?culty scale. Results The score of SAS were negatively correlated with the condition management ability and positively correlated with the condi?tion management difficulty. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that the model explained 26.6%amount and 35.1%amount of variation respec?tively. Conclusion The anxiety of caregiver of children with asthma may affect the disease management. Future interventions should be strength?ened on the caregivers'psychological problems,so as to improve disease management and control asthma more effectively.

Objective: To explore the effect of transgenic metallothionein (MT) mushroom on anti-radiation ability of mice. Method: Dried power of transgenic MT mushroom was mixed into the feed of ICR mice. After being fed for 23 d, they were irradiated by 5.0Gy 60Co-?rays. Then their anti-radiation ability was determined after being fed 7 d again. Results: Transgenic MT mushroom can evidently alleviate the injury of platelet and spleen induced by radiation, and apparently increase SOD activity and reduce MDA content in irradiated mice’s serum. Conclusion: Transgenic MT mushroom can improve anti-oxidation ability of irradiated mice.

The endocytosis/phagocytosis of calcium alginate nanocapsules by peripheral blood derived dendritic cells was confirmed with the use of Quantum dots labeling.Results further demonstrated these nanoparticles could cause the upregulation of HLA-DR expression to induce the maturation of dendritic cells in vitro.Dendritic cells stimulated by nanocapsules covalently loaded with BSA were shown to stimulate the proliferation of self T cells with blank capsules and free BSA as controls,suggesting their potential applications in cancer cell therapy as a new antigen delivery vehicle with a strong adjuvant effect.

Objective To summarize the coronary artery pattem of arterial switch operation(ASO),operative skill and surgical results.Methods Between October 1999 to October 2005,102 patients underwent arterial switch operation.The mean age was(8? 16)months ranged from 3 days to 7 years.The mean body weight was(5.9?3.2)kg,ranged from 2.5 kg to 20.0 kg.Most com- monly(74/102),the aorta was more or less to the right of the pulmonary artery.In 10 patients,the aorta was directly anterior to the pulmonary artery,and in 11 patients,the aorta was to the left of the pulmonary artery.The great arteries were side by side in 7 pa- tients.We used Leiden classification for coronary artery pattern by operative descriptions.The most prevalent coronary pattern [1LCx2R]was found in 69(67.6%),abnormal coronary artery pattern in 33(32.3%).Intramural course of coronary artery was fotmd In three patients.The Leeampte maneuver was used in all cases.In most patients,the "open trap door" or "bay window" tech- nique for coronary osfia transfer.Results Total mortality rate was 14.7 %(15 eases),6 cases(8.7 %)with normal coronary pattem and 9(27.3%)deaths 33 patients with abnormal coronary pattern.3 cases with coronary event occurred in 5 deaths of simple rIGA, 4 cases with coronary event in 6 deaths of complex TGA and 3 eases with coronary event in 4 deaths of Taussing-Bing anomaly.Con- clusion Complex coronary artery anatomy increases the operative risk.With experience or improving surgical technique,we may get better results.

OBJECTIVETo compare therapeutic effects between arthroscopic medial retinaculum plication and plaster external fixation for the treatment of acute patellar dislocation.

METHODSFrom February 2006 to October 2012,29 patients with acute patellar dislocation were divided into two groups: operation group and non-operation group. The patellar dislocation duration was 2 weeks. In operation group, there were 7 males and 10 females, with an average age of (16.2 ± 6.2) years old, and the patients were treated with arthroscopic medial retinaculum plication. In non-operation group, there were 5 males and 7 females,with an average age of (16.3 ± 5.0) years old,and the patients were treated with plaster external fixation. The Kujala scores, patellar tilt angle measured on CT film, apprehension test and recurrence rate of patellar instability were observed before and 1 year after treatment.

RESULTSIn operation group, the pre-treatment and post-treatment patellar tilt angles had no statistical difference, but the post-treatment Kujala score was lower than that of pre-treatment; while in non-operation group, the post-treatment patellar tilt angle was larger than that of pre-treatment, and the post-treatment Kujala score was lower than that of pre-treatment. At 1 year after treatment, the patellar tilt angle (21.2 ± 5.3) of patients in non-operation group was larger than (13.5 ± 3.5) of operation group, and the Kujala score 73.3 ± 10.5 of patient in non-operation group was lower than 84.1 ± 5.6 of operation group.

CONCLUSIONDuring 1 year after operation, arthroscopic medical retinaculum plication is a more effective treatment for acute patellar dislocation compared with plaster external fixation.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the correct method of bone resection and posterior capsular soft tissue releasing in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for the patients with rheumatoid arthritis with stiff knee in flexion.

METHODSFrom November 2009 to January 2012,15 patients with rheumatoid arthritis with stiff knee in flexion underwent primary TKA and releasing of the posterior soft tissues. There were 7 males and 8 females,aged 22 to 75 years old (58.7 years old on average). The preoperative range of movement(ROM) was (3.2 ± 1.7)°. According to Knee Society score (KSS) criterion, the preoperative clinical score was 23.3 ± 12.5 and functional score was 35.2 ± 9.8. Based on the correct osteotomy, effective releasing of posterior structures was used for different degrees of flexion contracture during the TKA procedure.

RESULTSAll the patients were followed up, and the average duration was 2.3 years (1.6 to 3 years). At the latest follow-up,the KSS clinical score was 81.7 ± 6.5 and functional score was 82.8 ± 9.3. The flexion and extension ROM of the knee joint was (103.5 ± 13.1). Three knees remained 50 flexion contracture deformity, but the function of the affect knees was good.

CONCLUSIONThe effective releasing of the soft tissue of posterior capsule is a major management for correction of the flexion contracture in TKA. The correct releasing of posterior structure can not only achieve fundamental gap of TKA but also effectively avoid bone over-resection.
