Objective To evaluate the value and clinical application of cardiac structure Z scores in children with preoperative tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) by echocardiography. Methods Considering the result of 31 patients who underwent echocardiography in Shenzhen Children’s Hospital before TOF repair from January 2011 to September 2013, the median age was 10 months (range:3 days to 14 years). Other 31 normal children were selected as normal control group with age-and sex-matched, the median age was 10 months (range: 6 days to 13 years). Echocardiographic measurements included the diameter of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT), pulmonary valve diameter (PVD), left pulmonary artery diameter (LPAD), right pulmonary artery diameter (RPAD), pulmonary valve peak velocity (PV-Vmax), tricuspid annulus diameter (TVD), mitral annulus diameter (MAD), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) and left ventricular mass (LVmass). Shenzhen Children’s Hospital pediatric echocardiography normal reference values and the regression equation are applied to obtain the forecast average, and using the Z-score formula into the standard value (Z=[M-y]/ MSE ). Results There was no significant difference in body surface area between the TOF group and control group (P>0.05). Compared with control group, the true value of RVOT reduced significantly in TOF group, its Z-score showed negative values increase (-4.87±1.86 vs 0.33±0.93, t=-13.90, P<0.05). PVD, LPAD and RPAD reduced significantly in TOF group, those Z scores showed a negative value increase (-4.15±2.93 vs 0.11±0.85, t=-7.76;-1.35±2.38 vs 0.66±1.17, t=-4.24;-1.47±2.03 vs 0.59±1.04, t=-4.94;all P<0.05). While PV-Vmax increased significantly, and it’s Z score showed a positive value increase (8.38±0.19 vs 0.24±0.98, t=29.50, P<0.05). TVD of TOF patients was slightly larger than the control group (P=0.10), but the Z score was significant greater than the control group (1.00±1.17 vs 0.29±0.52, t=3.06, P<0.05). MV-D, LVEDV and LVmass of TOF patients were slightly decreased than the control group (all P>0.05), but the Z scores of TOF were significantly reduced than the control group (0.25±0.78 vs 0.76±0.65, t=-2.75;-0.92±1.94 vs 0.03±1.01, t=-2.41;-0.83±1.59 vs 0.67±0.69, t=-4.71; all P<0.05). The Z scores of RVOT, PVD, LPAD and RPAD had no significant difference between transannular patch surgery and pulmonary valve-sparing repair patients (-4.89±2.03 vs -4.84±1.67, t=-0.08; -4.73±3.49 vs -3.34±1.75, t=-1.31; -1.88±2.54 vs -0.62±2.00, t=-1.49;-1.89±1.90 vs-0.84±2.15, t=-1.41;all P>0.05). For the Z scores of PV-Vmax, there were no significant difference between transannular patch surgery and pulmonary valve-sparing repair (8.58±1.20 vs 8.12±1.16, t=1.07, P>0.05). Conclusions The Z scores value of cardiac structure can be used in quantitative analysis of RVOT obstruction and development of left ventricular backward of TOF. The Z score of transannular patch surgery is more lower than pulmonary valve-sparing repair patients. The normalized Z score by body surface area correction is important for the preoperative diagnosis and the surgical planning.

Objective To investigate the cognition and behaviors of sun-protection and the facial photoaging in a Nanjing population, and to analyze the relationships between them. Methods The objects being investigated in Nanjing (n=974) were divided into 10 groups according to age. The ordinary information, knowledge and behavior of sun-protection and Glogau photoageing type of face were studied by questionnaires. The results were analyzed by a logistic regression model to select the related factors to photoageing. Results The risk of skin photoageing increased with age. Most of the 46-65 years old crowds were type Ⅲ photoageing. Most of the objects being investigated had some knowledge and active awareness of sun-protection and could use some ways to protect themselves from sun. However, most people did not use the sunscreen correctly. Those who had higher level awareness and knowledge of sunprotection suffered less risk from skin photoageing. Sunbath without sunscreen for a long time outside activity was a high risk factor of development to skin photoageing. Shade, broad-brimmed hat and sun-protection in autumn were the protective factors. Conclusion Active awareness and correct methods could help prevent skin photoageing. In order to avoid the damages to skin from ultraviolet efficiently, the accurate ways of using sunscreens should be well understood.

Objective To investigate the accuracy of three-dimensional ultrasound volumetric measurements for children's bladder. Methods The bladder volumes of 238 children aged 9 months to 16 years (male:106;female:132) in Shenzhen Children's Hospital underwent real-time three-dimensional ultrasound for volume measurements. These cases were divided into six groups according to the body surface area:(0.36~0.60) m2 (27 cases), (0.61~0.78) m2 (66 cases), (0.79~0.89) m2 (52 cases), (0.90~1.05) m2 (33 cases), (1.06~1.20) m2 (30 cases) and (1.21~1.78) m2 (30 cases). The bladder volume measured by GE Voluson E8 and Philips iU22 were compared with the actual volumes of discharge urine. The relation between bladder volume measurements and the actual volume of discharge urine was analyzed. Results Children's bladder volume increasesd with the body surface area (F=33.53, P<0.05) and showed positive correlations with the body surface area (r=0.679, P <0.05). Compared with the actual volume of discharge urine, each group's bladder volume measurements obtained by three-dimensional ultrasound were lower and the results were as follows:[(47.80±30.33) ml vs (82.24±49.63) ml, (77.20±39.72) ml vs (139.98±79.03) ml, (95.96±50.79) ml vs (175.96±101.70) ml, (117.46±54.17) ml vs (206.62±86.22) ml, (145.53±73.60) ml vs (253.33±135.09) ml and (220.27±110.34) ml vs (327.42±165.45) ml]. The differences between children's bladder volume measurements and the actual volume of discharge urine were statistically significant (t=3.19, 5.53, 5.08, 4.49, 3.84 and 3.00, all P <0.05), but children's bladder volume showed positive correlations with the actual urine volume (r=0.881, P<0.05). The bladder volume measurements by spheroid formula based on two-dimensional ultrasound are lower than the actual volume of discharge urine, and the results were as follows:[(50.38±36.94) ml vs (82.24±49.63) ml, (86.77±62.34) ml vs (139.98±79.03) ml, (102.69±60.21) ml vs (175.96±101.70) ml, (107.94±55.14) ml vs (206.62±86.22) ml, (145.31±66.01) ml vs (253.33±135.09) ml and (222.77±132.59) ml vs (327.42±165.45) ml]. The differences were statistically significant (t=3.03, 4.01, 4.47, 4.95, 3.94 and 2.75, all P <0.05), but children's bladder volume showed positive correlations with actual urine volume (r=0.326, P <0.05). Conclusions Three-dimensional ultrasound volumetric measurements for children's bladder is feasible and in clinical application, the factors of children's growth should be take into account. Combing regression equation, children's bladder volume can be more accurately quantified.
