Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and treatment of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) in children. Methods The clinical data of 67 children with PSVT were analyzed retrospectively, and the therapeutic effects of different treatments were compared. Results The clinical manifestations of infants were paleness, shortness of breath, irritability and sweating, and children showed chest tightness, palpitations, abdominal discomfort and fatigue. The curative effect of electric cardioversion, transesophageal atrial pacing, physical therapy, and drug therapy was statistically different (P<0.05), The different cardioversion rates of them were observed for the treatment of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. The cardioversion rate of transesophageal atrial pacing, was the highest, and the rate of physical therapy was the lowest. There was no significant difference in the cardioversion rate between propafenone, digoxin and amiodarone. Conclusion The clinical manifestations of PSVT in infants are atypical and easily to be ignored. There are many methods for treatment of PSVT. The vagus nerve can be stimulated first, and, if no response, either drugs or electric cardioversion and transesophageal atrial pacing can be used. The cardioversion rate of transesophageal atrial pacing is higher. The drug effectiveness for the treatment of PSVT depends on many factors, and our choice of medication varies from person to person.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of modified infusion(2-4 h infusion or continuous 24 h infusion)versus traditional infusion(0.5-1 h infusion)of meropenem in the treatment of severe infectious,and to provide evi-dence-based reference for clinic treatment. METHODS:Retrieved from Medline,CJFD,VIP database and Wanfang database, modified infusion(test group)versus traditional infusion(control group)of meropenem in the treatment of severe infections were collected,and Mata-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.0 statistical software after extracting data and evaluating quality. RESULTS:A total of 13 studies were included,involving 1 012 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed the effective rate [RR=1.25,95%CI(1.10,1.43),P<0.001] and bacterial eradication rate [RR=1.25,95%CI(1.05,1.48),P=0.01] in test groups were sig-nificantly higher than those of control group,and there were no significant differences in the mortality rate [RR=0.74,95%CI (0.46,1.18),P=0.21] and incidence of adverse reactions [RR=0.81,95%CI(0.48,1.39),P=0.45]. CONCLUSIONS:Compared with traditional infusion of meropenem,extended or continuous infusion can improve efficacy in the treatment of severe infections, with similar safety. Due to methodology limit of included studies,large-scale and high quality RCT are required for further valida-tion of the conclusions.

Objective To investigate the effects of tirofiban combined with nitroprusside injection through the rapid exchange balloon catheter with self-made side holes on no-reflow (NR)phenomenon during elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods A total of 49 patients with NR phenomenon were randomly divided into the balloon catheter group (n=25)and the guiding catheter group (n=24).Tirofiban combined with nitroprusside were used in both groups.Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI)grade and corrected TIMI frame count (CTFC)of target coronary artery at 10 minutes after administration were assessed.Results At 10 minutes after drugs injection,there were 21 (84.0%)patients with target of coronary TIMI 3 grade in the balloon catheter group,and 13 (54.2%)patients in the guiding catheter group.The CTFC was (33.5±12.5)frame in the balloon catheter group,and (41.9±1 5.3)frame in the guiding catheter group.The difference in TIMI and CTFC between the two groups was significantly (P <0.05).Conclusion Injection tirofiban combined with nitroprusside through the rapid exchange balloon cathe-ter with self-made side holes in NR patients during elective PCI might be feasible and effective.

Objective To investigate the value of FDG PET-CT in the outcome assessment and prognostic evaluation for recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (rNPC).Methods From January 2008 to December 2013,92 rNPC patients were treated in our center,who were histologically or radiologically diagnosed and re-staged according to the 2008 clinical staging system for nasopharyngeal carcinoma in China.The numbers of patients in stage Ⅰ,stage Ⅱ,stage Ⅲ,and stage Ⅳ were 8,11,39,and 34,respectively.According to the recurrent T stage (rT),the numbers of patients in rT1,rT2,rT3,and rT4 were 10,11,38,and 33,respectively.Twenty-eight patients had recurrence in the neck lymph nodes.All patients underwent pretreatment FDG PET-CT for the whole body or head/neck,and treated by radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy.The relationship of maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) and clinical factors with clinical outcomes was analyzed.The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate overall survival (OS),disease-free survival (DFS),local recurrence-free survival (LRFS),regional recurrence-free survival (RRFS),and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS).The log-rank test was used for survival difference analysis and univariate prognostic analysis.The Cox model was used for multivariate prognostic analysis.Results The 3-year OS,DFS,LRFS,RRFS,and DMFS were 33.6％,32.1％,32.8％,31.8％,and 33.7％,respectively.The median SUVmax was 8.35 (2.7-21.5).The SUVmax of 7.0 was taken as the optimal cut-off value for all patients.Patients with SUVmax ≤7.0 had a significantly higher 3-year OS rate than those with SUVm ax ＞7.0 (42.0％ vs.28.3％,P=0.019).The univariate analysis revealed that patient age,SUV and rN were significantly associated with OS (P=0.023,0.019,and 0.002).The multivariate analysis showed that SUVmax and rN were significant influencing factors for OS,DFS,and DMFS (HR=1.68,P=0.045 and HR=2.23,P=0.003;HR=1.67,P=0.042 and HR=2.39,P=0.001;HR=1.77,P=0.025 and HR=2.40,P=0.001).Conclusions SUVmax may be one of the useful prognostic factors for OS,DFS,and DMFS in rNPC patients.

Objepctive To explore the protective effect of modified recombinant human aFGF ( Mrh-aFGF) on the neurons in ventral tegmental area of rats with Parkinson’ s disease ( PD) . Methods The 54 SD rats were ramdomly divided into the control group,the model group and the treatment group,and there were 18 rats in each group. PD rats of the model group and the treatment group were induced by in-jecting 6-OHDA into the left substantia nigra compacta ( SNC) and ventral tegmental area ( VTA) to build the PD model. Rats in the treat-ment group were given Mrh-aFGF injection after lateral ventricle injection,and the behavioral changes of the rats were detected after apomor-phine injection. The morphologic features and pathological changes of neurons in the ventral tegmental area were observed by Nissl’ s staining and electronic microscope. Results Compared to the right VTA of PD rats,the number of neurons in left side ( the injured side) decreased significantly in the model group(P<0. 05). In the treatment group,the structure of left (the injured side) VTA was markedly improved and the number of neurons was increased one week,two weeks and four weeks after operation compared with the model group (P<0. 05). The neurons in the VTA of the model group were found to have karyopyknosis,endoplasmic reticulum,degranulation,mitochondria swelling,cristae disappear,pre-synaptic and post-synaptic membranes swelling,and synaptic cleft disappear. In the treatment group,the ultrastructure of the neurons in the VTA,such as nuclei,mitochondria,synaptic structure,kept well compared to the model group. Conclusion Mrh-aFGF could protect the neurons in the ventral tegmental area from the loss and improve the ultrastructure of the neurons of PD rats.
