Functional constipation(FC) in childhood is characterized by a low defecation frequency in combination with either involuntary loss of stools(encopresis),passage of large amounts of stool,retentive posturing,or hard and often painful defecation.It represents 3%-5% of general pediatric outpatient visits and up to 25% of pediatric gastroenterology consultations.FC is a diagnosis made by history and physical examination.No testing is necessary or desirable.The decision to seek medical care for symptoms arises from a parent′s or caretaker′s concern for children.The caretaker′s threshold for concern varies with his or her experiences and expectations,coping style,and perception of illness,till now there is not an universal native criteria established in spite of much has been done in it.The criteria used are still to draw assistance from the foreign standard,among which the classic criteria,the Rome Ⅱ and Rome Ⅲ criteria are considered commonly used.The purpose of this paper is to descript the several foreign criteria,and to make comparison among them,and to explore their applicability and effectiveness in childhood FC

Objective To investigate the feasibility and clinical value of double-balloon endoscopy in subjects of failed conventional colonoseopy and gastro-intestinal tract modified surgery.Methods Doubleballoon endoscopy was performed in thirty-two subjects of failed conventional colonoscopy,three and nine patients of previous subtotal gastrectomy with BillrothⅡand gastro-intestinal modified surgery for various clinical manifestations.Suceessful intubation rates of terminal ileum or cecum in colonoscopic failure patients,afferent and efferent loop intubation in patients of BillrothⅡand alimentary tract modified surgery,were recorded and diagnostic yields in these patients were also observed.Results The endoscopy was successfully intubated into terminal ileum or cecum in 29 subjects,the intubated rate was 90.6%,the endoscopic diagnosis was obtained in 7 subjects,and endoscopic treatment was performed in 3 subjects.The endoscopy was successfully inserted in terminus of afferent loop and 150-180 cm of efferent below the anastomosis in all 3 patients of Billroth type Ⅱ gastrectomy,and the diagnosis was all clarified.And endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was performed in one patient.Five of nine patients with previous alimentary tract modified surgery had lesions detected after endoscopic procedure,and double-balloon endoscopy could have a thorough visualization on operated area and suspected region as needed.Abdominal pain and melaena were observed in 8 and 3 subjects respectively.Transient urine amylase elevation was found in one patient.The symptoms were alleviated and amylase was returned to normal after treatment.Conclusions Double-balloon endoscopy was a safe and feasible remediai endoscopic procedure with high diagnostic yields and endotherapeutic interventional capability,in patients of failed conventional colonoscopy and previous BillrothⅡgastrectomy and alimentary modified surgery.

Objective To investigate of the radiological manifestations in congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) of lung in adult and to improve the diagnostic accuracy of CCAM of lung in adult.Methods Five cases with pathologically proved CCAM of lung in adult were retrospectively analyzed.Chest X-ray was available in 5 cases and chest CT was performed in 2 cases.Results On plain chest radiography,thin wall air cystic lesions with air-fluid level were detected in 3 cases.Honeycomb like small cystic lesion was detected in 1 case.Multiple round cystic lesions were found in 1 case.CT scan of the chest demonstrated a round thin wall air cystic lesion in the lateral segment of right lung's middle lobe,and a thin wall air cystic lesion with the wall merged into the shadow of chest wall in the left apicoposterior segment in one case.Small cystic lesions just like honeycomb were found in bilateral basal segments of the inferior lobes,with a 0.8—1.0 cm sized round mass revealed in the right lung′s inferior lobe basal segment, and the mass was spiculated in another case.Conclusion The imaging signs of CCAM of lung in adult is cyst or cyst-solid and at the risk of developing carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of entecavir (ETV) sequential therapy in the treatment of hepatitis B e antigen(HBeAg) positive chronic hepatitis B(CHB) patients with suboptimal early response to Peginterferon-α(Peg-IFN-α).Methods The cases of HBeAg-positive CHB who were treated with Peg-IFN-α for 12 to 24 weeks and serum HBsAg ＞ 20 000 IU/mL were enrolled into observation group.Treatment naive HBeAg positive CHB with serum HBsAg ＞ 20 000IU/mL were enrolled into control group.Both two groups received ETV for 96 weeks.Hepatitis B virus (HBV) virological and serological data were collected every 12 weeks.Results At the end of 48-week and 96-week,the rates of HBeAg seroconversion in the observation group were 23.3％ (10/43),30.2％ (13/43),respectively,which in the control group were 23.1％ (12/52),28.8％ (15/52),respectively.The HBsAg decline at 24-week was observed in both two groups.Conclusion Sequential strategy for patients with suboptimal early response to IFN is preferable.

Objective To screen differentially expressed genes in placentas with hepatitis B virus (HBV)infection and to discuss the molecular mechanism of HBV intrauterine infection.Methods Thirty placenta tissue specimens from HBsAg and HBV DNA positive pregnant women were used as the study group and 30 placenta tissue specimens from normal pregnant women with HBsAg and HBV DNA negativity were served as the control group.The suppression subtractive hybridization(SSH)technique was used.Total RNAs of placenta tissue of the study group were mixed as the tester,and total RNAs of placenta tissue of the control group were mixed as the driver.A subtractive cDNA library was constructed by PCR-selective cDNA subtraction systems.Amplifications of the library were carried out with E.coil strain DH5? by reverse spot hybridization.RT-PCR confirmed that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)was up-regulated in placenta tissue with HBV infection.Results Colony PCR showed that the clones contained 200-1000 bp inserts. Thirty five clones were confirmed by reverse spot hybridization and analyzed by sequencing and bioinformatics.Thirty three known genes and 2 genes with unknown function were obtained.RT-PCR preliminarily confirmed that PI3K gene was up-regulated in HBV infected placenta.Conclusions The differentially expressed genes in placentas with hepatitis B virus(HBV)infection using SSH technique has been screened out successfully.These differentially expressed genes encoding proteins participating in cell vital metabolism and malformation,and signal conduction-antiapoptosis pathway.This finding brings some new clues for studying the mechanisms of HBV intrauterine infection.

BACKGROUND:Animal experimental studies have confirmed that cell transplantation,neurotrophic factor infusion or transplantation as well as other methods can alter the local environment of injured spinal cord and promote its partial function recovery. OBJECTIVE:This study aimed to assess the clinical efficacy of olfactory ensheathing cell transplantation for the treatment of the sequel of myelitis,and to explore whether it would promote the recovery of the spinal cord function. DESIGN:A non-randomized self-control study. SETTING:Ward of Second Department of Surgery of Taian Disabled Soldiers Hospital of Shandong Province. PARTICIPANTS:Thirty-two patients with obsolete myelitis,who come from all over China and suffered from disease for 0.5 to 7 years,admitted to our hospital between June 2004 and July 2007 were recruited in this study.The involved patients,including 21 males and 11 females,were aged 5-48 years.Their neurological functions were not obviously improved after various conventional treatments and limb function exercise.Meanwhile,various sensorimotors and autonomic nerve functional impairments were left.Among the patients,18 suffered from acute viral myelitis,8 from acute purulent myelitis and 6 from tuberculous myelitis.After onset,they were all given large doses of radiosonde, dexamethasone,anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory drugs and various neurotrophic drugs.Twenty-six patients presented complete injury and six patients incomplete injury.Informed consent of treatment was obtained from each patient.The therapeutic protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of the hospital.Embryonic olfactory bulbs were harvested from aborted embryo,which was donated voluntarily by the patients or their relatives. METHODS:Cells were isolated from embryonic olfactory bulbs,cultured and purified for 7 to 14 days,and finally they were digested into single-cell suspension.Under the surgical miscroscope,the cells were transplanted onto the regions which were above or below the spinal cord injury site.Two weeks to 2 months postoperatively,neurological function of spinal cord was assessed by using the American Spinal Injury Association(ASIA)Scoring Standard formulated in 2000,and was compared to pre-operation function. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:①Sensory function change.②Motor function change. RESULTS:Half a year to 2 years after olfactory ensheathing cell transplantation,the sensory and motor functions of 32 patients were all obviously improved(motor function:55.72?10.50 vs.51.53?13.41;light touch:69.53?11.68 vs. 63.06?15.98;pain sense:69.50?12.20 vs.64.03?15.0,all P
