Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2006;0(24):-
Objective To explore diagnosis and prognosis of heart failure in children by measuring brain natriurettic peptide(BNP) and cardiac troponin I(CTnI).Methods Forty-one children subjects with heart failure were chosen,and then they were divided into three stages,early stage of heart failure,stage of heart failure and stage of recovery according to the ROSS cardiac function score method.In contrast with the former group,41 healthy children were chosen as control group.BNP and CTnI levels of blood plasma were analyzed by radioimmunoassay(RIA) and chemiluminescent immunoassay(CLIA) respectively,the relationship between the BNP level of blood plasma and prognosis of CHF group was analyzed.Results At early stage of heart failure,BNP and CTnI levels began to rise.They amount to highest peaks at stage of heart failure and went down at stage of recovery.But they were still higher than those of control group(P

Objective Stress radiography provides an objective tool to measure posterior knee instability.This study was conducted to evaluate the intraobserver and interobserver reliability of measurements using Telos device to quantify posterior knee instability,compared wim KT-1000 and PDT test for consistency analysis.Methods From October 2008 to June 2009,68 stress radiographs in 34 patients with posterior knee instability were taken using Telos device.The amount of posterior displacement on the radiographs was measured independently by 2 surgeons on 2 separate occasions.Changes in intraclass correlation coefficients(ICCs)were examined to assess the intraobserver and interobserver reliability of the measurement,and were compared with those from KT-1000 and PDT test for consistency analysis.Results Intraobserver ICC was 0.992,while interobserver ICC Was 0.991.There was no significant difierence between Telos and KT-1000 in pair-t test.The data from Telos device was consistent with KT-1000.The coincident ratio Of PDT test was 20% while the posterior displacement of the tibia calculated on stress radiography was 5-10 mm.The coincident ratio of the PDT was 71.4% while the posterior displacement of the tibia calculatcd from stress radiography was 10-15 mm.Conclusion Using Telos device for stress radiograph provides a reproducible method to quantify posterior knee instability,and the consistency between Telos divece and KT-1000 was reliable.The coincident ratio of the PDT test with stress radiography increased when the posterior displacement of the tibia from stress view became more severe.

Objective: To understand current situation and existing problems in financial security of the center for disease control and prevention system in Jiangxi, to provide scientific references for advancing continuous, fast and healthy development of the system. Methods: combining three methods of questionnaire, group discussions and field surveys to investigate the situation of financial income from 112 centers of disease control and prevention in Jiangxi. Results: The government finance investment increased by year, but the funds of daily work and personnel is insufficient, public and regular business funds of some institution still depend on paid service income. Conclusion: It needs to further enhance financial structure adjustment and disease control investment, increase disease control input, change government appropriation method for disease prevention and control institutions, change the government ’ s funding mode to “purchase system” , reasonably pricing public product, the government on behalf of the people buying services according to quality and quantity from the disease prevention and control institutions.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the serum enzymes in childhood amputees as a result of earthquake,and to discuss their clinical significance.Methods From 150 children amputees who were victims of Sichuan Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 and Sichuan Lushan earthquake in 2013,45 cases with complete records of serum enzymes examinations were reviewed retrospectively.They were divided into three groups:amputation group (n=6),fasciotomy decompression group (n =5),general trauma without injury to extremity group (n =34).Serum enzyme examination data were compared for statistical analysis to find the difference among groups.Ten children who were not victims of earthquake were selected from department of orthopaedics to serve as controls,and 20 adult amputees as a result of earthquake served as another control group.Results There were significant differences in injury severity scale (ISS) and the contents of all serum enzymes,including aspartate transaminase (AST),alanine aminotransferase (ALT),creatine kinase (CK),lactate dehydrogenase (LDH),and hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (HBDH),between the amputation group and other patients (FISS=15.474,P<0.001 ; FAST=10.770,P<0.001 ; FALT=12.799,P<0.001 ; FcK=12.848,P<0.001; FUDH=13.126,P<0.001; FHBDH=13.186,P<0.001),and the difference in amputation group was even more significant.AST,LDH,HBDH in childhood amputees group were significantly higher than those in adult amputation group.The contents of ALT and CK were slightly increased.Serum enzyme contents were found to be significantly helpful for prediction of disease condition and prognosis.It was also found that CK was extremely helpful in assessing the degree of illness in patients with severe trauma,especially in patients complicated by severe soft tissue injury.In all the groups,of patients,it was found that CK rose from (129 ± 62) U/L in non-earthquake induced trauma group to (44 208 ± 39 788) U/L in earthquake amputation group,and it was thus increased more than 300 times.Its highest value even reached 117 513 U/L,which was more than 840 times of the normal.If a timely amputation or muscle compartment decompression was performed,CK might decline rapidly down to the normal value.Conclusions The comprehensive and continuous assessment of serum enzymes is mandatory during the treatment of children with acute trauma.It is of important clinical significance to correctly judge the condition and to determine optional treatment measures.

· Application of capsular tension ring ( CTR ) in phacoemulsification has become a common method to increase the stability of the capsular bag. CTR can effectively reduce the posterior capsular opacification ( PCO) , prevent intraocular lens ( lOL ) decentration and tilt, not cause lOL degree deviation and aberration increase.ln this review, we summarized the development overview of CTR in phacoemulsification.

Objective To evaluate the early clinical outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament(ACL)reconstruction combined with anterolateral tenodesis procedure in patient with high grade pivot-shift after ACL injuries.Methods Among the 140 patients diagnosed as ACL injury and undergoing operations in our hospital between June and December 2015,18 presenting high grade pivot-shift 2+ or 3+ under anesthesia were included into this study.During their surgeries,the anterolateral tenodesis procedure using iliotibial tract ITB was applied together with ACL reconstruction.The anteroposterior stability of the knee was examined and pivot-shift test was conducted right after the operation as well as 6 and 12 months after that.The Lysholm score was used to evaluate the clinical function of their knees.Results The mean follow-up period of the 18 patients was 12.7 ± 2.4 months.There were 14 males and 4 females,with an average of 28.3 ± 7.1 years.No patients complained about unstable symptoms during the follow-up.The mean side-to-side difference of anteroposterior knee laxity assessed using KT1000 at 30 degree knee flexion was 2.3 ± 0.7 mm,which was significantly improved compared with preoperative assessment(9.2 ± 2.6 mm)(P<0.01).For the preoperative examination,the pivot-shift examination indicated 2+ in 13 patients and 3+ in 5 patients.However,all were negative right after the operation.Seventeen patients presented negative pivot-shift at the final follow-up,while 1 had 1+ rotational laxity.Significant differences were found in the Pivot-shift test before and after the operation.The average Lysholm score improved significantly from 67.7 ± 5.9(ranging from 55 to 78)before the operation to 89.0-± 4.6(ranging from 75 to 95)after that.Conclusion The high grade pivot-shift rotational instability could be effectively restored using the anterolateral tenodesis procedure,in addition to ACL reconstruction.The early stage clinical outcomes indicate significant improvement of the knee stability postoperatively.
