Objective To investigate the incidence rate,clinical characteristics,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen,China.Methods Led by Shenzhen Children's Hospital,the Shenzhen Neonatal Data Collaboration Network organized 21 institutions to collect 36 cases of neonatal stroke from January 2020 to December 2022.The incidence,clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of neonatal stroke in 21 hospitals from 2020 to 2022 was 1/15 137,1/6 060,and 1/7 704,respectively.Ischemic stroke accounted for 75％(27/36);boys accounted for 64％(23/36).Among the 36 neonates,31(86％)had disease onset within 3 days after birth,and 19(53％)had convulsion as the initial presentation.Cerebral MRI showed that 22 neonates(61％)had left cerebral infarction and 13(36％)had basal ganglia infarction.Magnetic resonance angiography was performed for 12 neonates,among whom 9(75％)had involvement of the middle cerebral artery.Electroencephalography was performed for 29 neonates,with sharp waves in 21 neonates(72％)and seizures in 10 neonates(34％).Symptomatic/supportive treatment varied across different hospitals.Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment was performed for 12 neonates(33％,12/36),with a mean score of(32±4)points.The prognosis of 27 neonates was followed up to around 12 months of age,with 44％(12/27)of the neonates having a good prognosis.Conclusions Ischemic stroke is the main type of neonatal stroke,often with convulsions as the initial presentation,involvement of the middle cerebral artery,sharp waves on electroencephalography,and a relatively low neurodevelopment score.Symptomatic/supportive treatment is the main treatment method,and some neonates tend to have a poor prognosis.

COVID-19 is caused by a novel coronavirus-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which has being spreading around the world, posing a serious threat to human health and lives. Neutralizing antibodies and small molecule inhibitors for virus replication cycle are the main antiviral treatment for novel coronavirus recommended in China. To further promote the rational use of antiviral therapy in clinical practice, the National Center for Infectious Diseases (Beijing Ditan Hospital Capital Medical University and the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine) invited experts in fields of infectious diseases, respiratory and intensive care to develop an Expert Consensus on Antiviral Therapy of COVID-19 based on the Diagnosis and Treatment Guideline for COVID-19 ( trial version 10) and experiences in the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 in China. The consensus is concise, practical and highly operable, hopefully it would improve the understanding of antiviral therapy for clinicians and provide suggestions for standardized medication in treatment of COVID-19.

Objective: To evaluate the accuracy and feasibility of coronary artery calcium score ( CACS) on virtual non-contrast scan ( VNC) images obtained from coronary artery CT angiography ( CCTA) scan with dual －layer spectral detector CT (SDCT) ． Methods : The data of 197 patients who underwent CCTA scan in hospital were analyzed retrospectively，and 88 patients with CACS ＞0 were further analyzed． Linear regression analysis of CACS and coronary artery calcium volume ( CACV) of true non-contrast (TNC) images and VNC images ( CACS-TNC， CACS-VNC，CACV-TNC，CACV-VNC) was performed to obtain linear regression equation and correction coefficients λ 1AVG and λ2AVG ．CACS-VNC and CACV-VNC were corrected by the corresponding regression equation and recorded as CCACS-VNC and CCACV-VNC，respectively．Spearman correlation coefficient was used for correlation analysis and Bland-Altman plot was used for consistency test．Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the difference between the two groups. Results : For the total coronary artery，there was a strong correlation between CACS- TNC and CACS-VNC (rs = 0. 952，P ＜0. 001 ，λ 1AVG = 2. 19 ) ，CACV-TNC and CACV-VNC ( rs = 0. 954，P < 0. 001，λ2AVG = 1. 93) ．The results of Mann-Whitney U test showed that there was no significant difference between CACS-TNC and CCACS-VNC or between CACV-TNC and CCACV-VNC，and the Bland-Altman plot showed good consistency between CACS-TNC and CCACS-VNC ，CACV-TNC and CCACV-VNC． Conclusion VNC images based on SDCT can accurately measure CACS and be used for cardiovascular risk classification，which is expected to replace TNC scan and reduce the radiation dose of patients.

Objective:To understand the genetic characteristics of human adenovirus (HAdV) in severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) cases in Luohe city, Henan province, China.Methods:After viral isolation of HAdV-positive specimens identified in SARI cases from October 2017 to February 2019, the Loop2 region of the Hexon gene was amplified and determined to initially identify the virus type. Then, based on the preliminary screening result, the full length of the sequences of the three target genes (Penton base, Hexon and Fiber) of the viral strains were amplified using specific primers for each HAdV type, and phylogenetic and sequence homology analyses were performed with the prototype strains and the representative strains of the corresponding types at home and abroad to identify the types of viral strains and understand their genetic characteristics.Results:A total of 18 viral isolates were obtained from 27 HAdV-positive throat swab specimens from 783 SARI cases in Luohe city, Henan province, and the molecular typing result showed that these strains belonged to species B (HAdV-3, HAdV-7 and HAdV-55), species C (HAdV-1, P1H2F2, Px1/Ps3H5F5, P89H5F5 and HAdV-6) and species E (HAdV-4). Among them, the highest positive detection rate was found for species C HAdV-1 isolates (33.3%), followed by species B HAdV-3 (22.2%) and species C P1H2F2 (11.1%). The four HAdV strains in this study (HAdV-3, HAdV-4, HAdV-7 and HAdV-55) were characterized by significantly conserved and stable in time and space; while three patterns of genetic recombination (P1H2F2, Px1/Ps3H5F5 and P89H5F5) were identified for HAdV-C strains in this study, and their potential public health significance needed to be confirmed by further studies.Conclusions:The HAdV infection of SARI cases in Luohe city, Henan province during 2017-2019 was dominated by species C, followed by species B and species E. These data provided a scientific basis for the prevention and control of local adenovirus-associated infectious diseases.

Objective:To explore the clinical features and risk factors of systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) concomitant with interstitial lung disease(ILD) in children.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed.A total of 111 hospitalized children diagnosed with SLE in the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, Children′s Hospital of Soochow University from February 2016 to November 2018 were selected as the research subjects and divided into the SLE-ILD group(18 cases) and the SLE-non-ILD group(93 cases)according to the lung high-resolution CT manifestations. T-test and Wilcoxon rank sum test were used to compare and analyze the general situation, clinical manifestations and laboratory results.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of SLE-ILD. Results:The prevalence of SLE-ILD was 16.2%(18/111 cases). There were significant differences between the SLE-ILD group and the SLE-non-ILD group in the course of disease [14.00 (12.00-24.25) months vs.1.00(1.00-2.00) months], the incidence of serositis [55.6%(10/18 cases) vs.8.6%(8/93 cases)], post-activity shortness of breath [83.3%(15/18 cases) vs.25.8%(24/93 cases)], nervous system damage [27.8%(5/18 cases) vs.6.5%(6/93 cases)], cardiovascular system damage [38.9%(7/18 cases) vs.9.7%(9/93 cases)], the occu-rrence of increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate [66.7%(12/18 cases) vs.31.2%(29/93 cases)], the decreased C 3[88.9%(16/18 cases) vs.62.4%(58/93 cases)], positive anti neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) [88.9%(16/18 cases) vs.18.3%(17/93 cases)], positive anti-Sm antibody [61.1%(11/18 cases) vs.15.1%(14/93 cases)] and anti ribonucleoprotein antibody (anti RNP antibody)[66.7%(12/18 cases) vs.16.1%(15/93 cases)](all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that serositis( OR=30.535, 95% CI: 2.167-430.336, P=0.011), shortness of breath after exercise( OR=55.115, 95% CI: 1.117-2 579.852, P=0.041), positive ANCA( OR=65.090, 95% CI: 4.488-944.071, P=0.002) and positive anti-RNP antibody( OR=10.007, 95% CI: 1.362-73.500, P=0.024) were risk factors for SLE-ILD. Conclusions:The longer the course of SLE, the higher the incidence of ILD; serositis, shortness of breath after exercise, positive ANCA and positive anti RNP antibody may be risk factors for SLE-ILD.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of freshening technique on docking site in tibial bone transport management. METHODS: Retrospective cohort study was conducted about the effect of freshening technique on docking site in 20 cases(15 males and 5 females) treated with tibial bone transport from January of 2014 to December of 2019. The age of patients ranged from 19 to 62 years old, with an average of (42.3±11.5)years old. Seven patients had infectious bone defect and 13 patients had non-infectious. Application of freshening technique immediately after docking included resection of invaginated skin or soft tissue, removal of closed sclerotic bone, re-apposition, increasing the contact, acute compression of freshened docking site and grafting from adjacent medullary or bone debris, followed by post-operative gradual compression. RESULTS: The amount of segmented bone defect ranged from 5 to 15 cm, with an average of(9.2±2.9) cm. Time required from osteotomy to contact of butt end ranged from 26 to 243 days, with an average of(109.1±51.1) days. The duration needed from 3 to 7 months with an average of(3.7±1.1) months before reaching radiological healing criterion in docking site. Fourteen out of 15 concurrent fibular osteotomy were united. Consolidation time for distracted callus ranged from 5 to 28 months, with an average of (15.0±6.5) months. Bone healing index(BHI) ranged from 0.8 to 2.8 months/cm, with an average of (1.6±0.5) months. One surgical site infection (5%) in tibial was noted. No refractures were found in follow-up ranged from 12 to 73 months, with an average of(37.6±20.3) months after fixator removal. CONCLUSION Freshening technique immediately after docking had advantages of the shorter healing time, avoidance of refracture, and independance of necessity for remote autograft harvest.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of in-situ full size split liver transplantation(fSLT) for adult recipients using the living donor liver transplantation(LDLT) technique and to compare the characteristics of the left hemiliver graft (LHG) and the right hemiliver graft(RHG)transplantation. Methods: Deceased donor and recipient data of 25 consecutive cases of fSLT at Department of Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery, Ningbo Medical Center Lihuili Hospital from March to December 2021 was retrieved and the patients divided into two groups:LHG group and RHG group. Among the 13 donors,11 were male and 2 were female,aged (M(IQR))38(19) years(range: 25 to 56 years),with height of 168(5) cm(range:160 to 175 cm) and weight of 65(9) kg(range: 50 to 75 kg). The median age of the 25 recipients was 52(14) years(range:35 to 71 years),17 were male and 8 were female,15 had primary liver cancer and 10 had benign end-stage liver disease,model for end-stage liver disease score was 10(9) points(range:7 to 23 points). Of the 25 recipients,10 recipients had previously undergone hepatobiliary surgery. The follow-up period was to January 2022. Demographic,clinicopathological,surgical outcomes and postoperative complications were evaluated and compared between the two groups. Continuous quantitative data were compared using Mann-Whitney U test. Classification data were expressed as frequencies,and were compared between groups using χ² test or Fisher exact probability method. Results: Using LDLT technique,in-situ full-left/full-right liver splitting was performed and 13 viable pairs of hemiliver grafts were harvested with acquisition time of 230(53) minutes(range:125 to 352 minutes) and blood loss of 250(100) ml(range:150 to 1 000 ml). A total of 25 hemiliver grafts(13 LHG and 12 RHG) were allocated to patients listed for liver transplantation in our center by China Organ Transplant Response System. In the LHG group(13 cases),there were more females and more patients with benign end-stage liver disease than in the RHG group(12 cases)(P<0.05). The body weight and graft weight of recipients in the LHG group were lower than that in RHG group(both P<0.05). There were no significant differences in other baseline data between the two groups(all P>0.05). The graft to recipient weight ratio(GRWR) was 1.2(0.4)%(range:0.7% to 1.9%) for 25 recipients,1.1(0.5)%(range:0.7% to 1.6%)for the LHG group and 1.3(0.5)%(range:0.9% to 1.9%)for the RHG group. There was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Sharing patterns of hepatic vessels and the common bile duct are as follows:all the trunk of middle hepatic vein were allocated to the LHG group. The proportion of celiac trunk,main portal vein and common bile duct assigned to LHG and RHG was 10∶3 (P=0.009), 9∶4 (P>0.05) and 4∶9 (P=0.027),respectively. The vena cava of 12 donors in early stage retained in LHG and that of last one was shared between LHG and RHG (P<0.01). The median cold ischemia time of 25 hemiliver grafts was 240(90) minutes(range:138 to 420 minutes). For the total of 25 fSLT,the median anhepatic phase was 50(16) minutes(range:31 to 98 minutes) and the operation time was 474(138)minutes(range:294 to 680 minutes) with blood loss of 800(640) ml(range:200 to 5 000 ml). There were no significant differences in all of operation data between two groups. In the LHG group,3 patients with GRWR≤0.8% had postoperative small-for-size syndrome which improved after treatment. Postoperative Clavien-Dindo grade≥Ⅲ complications were observed in 6 cases(24.0%),4 cases(4/13) in the LHG group and 2 cases(2/12) in the RHG group,respectively. The difference was not statistically significant. Among them,5 cases improved after re-operation and intervention,1 case in LHG group died of secondary infection 2 weeks after operation,and the mortality was 4.0%. Analysis of serious postoperative complications and death has suggested that conventional caval interposition should not be used for LHG transplantation. Conclusion: Relying on accurate donor-recipient evaluation and the apply of LDLT technique,the morbidity and mortality of in-situ fSLT in adults is acceptable.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of anterolateral thigh flap preforming tongue in patients with total glossectomy. Methods: A total of 27 patients with tongue cancer who underwent total glossectomy, neck lymph node dissection and anterolateral thigh flap transfer were collected from January 2019 to April 2021 in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Second Xiangya Hospital. All patients were males, the age ranged from 35-73 years. The patients were divided into experimental (14 cases) and control (13 cases) groups, based on whether the tongue was reconstructed. The clinical parameters of two groups were analyzed by independent sample t test or Fisher exact probability method. Results: The success rate of free flap was 100%, of the patients, 2 patients had cervical hematoma and 1 patient had wound infection postoperatively. There was no difference in speech (6.69±3.42 vs. 5.50±3.01, t=0.96, P=0.346) or swallowing (χ²=0.46, P=0.793) function between two groups at 1 month after surgery. However, the speech (24.94±7.43 vs. 18.44±6.30, t=2.48, P=0.020) and swallowing (χ²=6.97, P=0.008) functions in experimental group were significantly better than those in control group. No case was lost to follow-up. All patients were extubated after operation, with average time of 7.2 days in the experimental group and 7.7 days in the control group. The overall survival rate was 71.4% in the experimental group and 61.5% in the control group. Conclusion: The use of anterolateral thigh flap preforming tongue can improve the speech and swallowing functions in patients with total glossectomy and offer a novel method for tongue construction.

The clinical data of a case with late-onset isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency(ISOD)admitted in the Department of Neurology, Children′s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine in July 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.Fifteen previously published cases of late-onset ISOD were also reviewed.The patient was a girl, who was hospitalized because of " motor regression with mental retardation for 5 days" at 1 year old.The manifestations of the patient were extrapyramidal symptoms, regression of motor development and seizures.The level of urinary sulfites in the patient was increased.Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features were bilateral pallidus and substantia nigra.Gene sequencing suggested a pure missense mutation of the sulfite oxidase( SUOX) gene c. 650(exon5)G>A(p.Arg217Gln). In 16 cases of late-onset ISOD, the median age at onset and diagnosis was 10.5 months and 34.0 months, respectively.The common clinical manifestations were hypotonia (13 cases), seizures (10 cases), movement disorders (9 cases), and ectopia lentis (6 cases). The most common brain MRI feature was pallidus changes (11 cases), followed by lesions of substantia nigra (5 cases), and cerebral atrophy (4 cases). Fourteen cases of late-onset ISOD showed a positive urinary sulfite test.The missense mutation of the SUOX gene was found in 9 cases.It suggested that brain MRI involvement of bilateral pallidus, high excretion of urine sulfites and the missense mutation of the SUOX gene were important diagnostic clues for late-onset ISOD.

Blast injury of the chest injury is the most common wound in modern war trauma and terrorist attacks, and is also the most fatal type of whole body explosion injury. Most patients with severe blast injury of the chest die in the early stage before hospitalization or during transportation, so first aid is critically important. At present, there exist widespread problems such as non-standard treatment and large difference in curative effect, while there lacks clinical treatment standards for blast injury of the chest. According to the principles of scientificity, practicality and advancement, the Trauma Society of Chinese Medical Association has formulated the guidance of classification, pre-hospital first aid, in-hospital treatment and major injury management strategies for blast injury of the chest, aiming to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
