Objective To explore the occurrence of diaphragmatic muscle fatigue(DMF) in children with pneumonia and its relationship with respiratory failure.Methods One hundred and twenty-six cases of pneumonia(pneumonia group) and 60 healthy children(healthy control group) were selected,and 2K-V1 type intelligence electric impedance respirograph was used to measure diaphragmatic function of the children in both groups to find if the ribcage-abdomen motion was synchronic and to calculate M levels.The abdomen impedance values as X-axis were calculated,which were regarded,and the chest impedance values as Y-axis were calcaulated,which described two-dimensional chart of ribcage-abdomen motion curve and the ? angle which was between connection of maximum X value to the smallest X value and the X-axis were calculated.According to the changes of chest-abdominal curve in one-dimensional chart and the changes of M value and ? angle,the degree of the diaphragmatic muscle fatigue was judged.Results There were 98 cases of DMF in the 126 children with pneumonia,and 68 cases of which were type Ⅰ DMF,and 30 cases were type Ⅱ DMF.One-dimensional chart showed contradictory chest-abdominal respiratory motional curve,and two-dimensional chart moved in a clockwise direction.M value was(46.1?8.4)%,? angle was(136.7?12.0) degrees in children with type Ⅰ DMF;One-dimensional chart showed that the peak value of chest-abdominal respiratory motional curve dislocates,and two-dimensional chart moved in a counter-clockwise direction.M value was(17.2 ? 3.2)%,? angle was(48.2 ? 9.5) degrees in children with type Ⅱ DMF;the control group had M value(4.3 ? 1.0)%,? angle was(31.7 ? 5.2) degree.There were significant differences in M value and ? angle between type Ⅰ DMF children,type Ⅱ DMF children and healthy children(Pa

AlM:To investigate the effect of peripheral vision control technology for delaying the development of juvenile myopia.METHODS:A total of ninty-nine cases of 12 ~18 year-old myopic patients were randomly divided into two groups. The experimental group was peripheral vision control technology group whose members wore the special lenses which can help correct the hypermetropic defocus of peripheral retina. The other was control group whose members wore ordinary monofocal lenses. All the subjects needed to accept re-examination every 3mo and be recorded the data of dioptre, corneal curvature and axial length.RESULTS: After 18mo, the dioptre and axial length of two groups had increased in varying degree. But the data's different quantity of the corneal curvature in each group had no statistical significance ( P > 0. 05 ). Themyopia deepen quantity in experimental group was-0. 65±0. 65D and its axial growth was 0. 23±0. 22mm, and the myopia deepen quantity in control group was -1. 17 ± 0. 50D and its axial growth was 0. 41 ± 0. 17mm. Under the circumstance of valid data, the increment of myopia and axial length in experimental group was lower than that in control group (P<0. 05).CONCLUSlON: Peripheral vision control technology can delay the development of juvenile myopia effectively.

Objective To study the values of the diagnosis of superficial carcinoma of stomach using digital radiography(DR). Methods Patients with superficial carcinoma of stomach( n = 62) were divided into two groups:group DR( n = 35, using digital radiography) and group control( n = 27, using traditional X ray machine). All pa-tients were undergone Gas-Barium double contrast radiograph examination before operation and confirmed by pathol-ogy. Results In group DR, the focuses of 32 patients were found and 3 lost. In group control, the focuses of 22 pa-tients were found and 5 lost. The detection rate of the two groups had significant difference( P < 0.01 ). Conclusion The application of DR could increase the detection rate of superficial carcinoma of stomach, meanwhile gastroscope and pathology biopsy were also important.

BACKGROUND:Titanium implants as a safe biological material have been used to produce the artificial Russian titanium cornea, but complications stil exist, including artificial cornea shift, leakage, corneal tissue melting and artificial cornea discharge.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate in vivo biocompatibility of hydroxyapatite modified titanium skirt for keratoprosthesis in alkali burn cornea.
METHODS:A total of 30 alkali burned New Zealand white rabbit corneas were divided into three group groups. Hydroxyapatite modified titanium skirt (experimental group) and titanium skirt (control group) were respectively inserted into the corneal stroma of rabbits. In the blank control group, only a lamel ar corneal incision was made.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al skirts were stable without necrosis, melting and exclusion during the observation period. The number of inflammatory cells in the experimental and control groups was significantly higher than that in the blank control group at 2 and 8 weeks postoperatively (P<0.05), but there was no difference in inflammatory cellinfiltration among different groups by the 16th week. The number of corneal fibroblasts increased significantly in the experimental group compared with the control and blank control group after 2, 8, 16 weeks (P<0.05). The extracellular matrix deposited on the surface of hydroxyapatite modified titanium skirt was denser and tighter than that on the surface of titanium skirt. It indicates that hydroxyapatite modified titanium skirt for keratoprosthesis can promote the interfacial biointegration of skirt and host cornea.

Objective To investigate the relationship between children history of asthma and family history of asthma.Methods Three thousand and five hundred outpatients of asthma children were selected as investigation subjects.Family history of asthma was investigated in the form of questionnaire,and analyzed them from whether or not having family history of asthma,the first and second degree relative having family history of asthma.Results There was no family history of asthma in 1 659 cases(47.4%) and while 1 841 cases had family history of asthma(52.6%).The children who had family history of asthma were slightly more than those who had no family history of asthma.Among the 1 841 cases with family history of asthma,the first degree relatives with family history of asthma were more than those second degree relatives with fa-mily history of asthma.The incidence rate of relatives with family history of asthma on mother′s side was 59.9%,and the incidence rate of the father′s relatives was 40.1%.The incidence rate of mother′s relatives was higher than that of father′s relatives(P

Objective To investigate the relapse risk assessment for patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia(APL)through testing PML-RAR? fusion gene by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RQ-PCR).Methods Relative copies of PML-RAR? fusion gene were measured in 25 patients with APL in phases of first diagnosis,complete remission(CR)and relapse.The minimal residual disease(MRD)situations were also monitored in 6 of the 25 patients.Results Different PML-RAR? fusion gene expression levels were observed in patient groups of different phases of the disease.(P

Objective To study the effects of self-management education on quality of life in children with asthma.Methods Seventy-five out-patients and in-patients with asthma were randomlydivided into 2 groups.The educational group(38 cases)received the basic knowledge education of asthma and self-management,while the control group received only the basic knowledge education of asthma.A inquiry was conducted in all patients using a Chinese PAQLQ(pediatric asthma quality of life questionnaire)before and 6 months after the treatment.The correlation and difference between 2 groups were analyzed.Results There were no significant difference before the therapy.After 6 months's treatment,there were uptrends on scorecard in some fields in such as symptom,activity,emotion and the total score in all patients(P
