Dystonia is common in children with cerebral palsy. It can cause motor dysfunction, and is frequently associated with altered speech articulation, abnormal swallowing, and excessive drooling. Although trihexyphenidyl (Artane) is an anticholinergic agent with a long history of use in the management of dystonia in adults, information is limited regarding the use of trihexyphenidyl in children. This study reviewed the clinical experience of the use of trihexyphenidyl in children with cerebral palsy for dystonia, with special emphasis on benefits and tolerability.

The structure of social network and its information spreading characteristics in 41 users of Sina microb-logs were studied , which showed that the exchange level was quite low in the 41 users of health information in Sina microblogs, usually in small groups.Although the 41 users were found in the core area, their exchange was sporadic even with no exchange in the core nodes or in other nodes, thus effective information sharing could not be achieved and information could not be widely spread .

Objective To explore the influence of allergic rhinitis (AR) on patients with systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SoJIA).Methods The study involved 44 cases with SoJIA from Department of Pediatrics,Renji Hospital affiliated to School of Medicine of Shanghai Jiaotong University from July 2008 to November 2013.The Clinical and laboratory data of all patients were recorded respectively.This was a retrospective cohort study.According to the diagnosis of allergic rhinitis (AR),children were subdivided into AR group (16 cases) and Non-AR group (28 cases).ACR Pediatric criteria (ACR Pedi) 30/ 50/70 and related indicators of SoJIA between the two groups were compared.In the AR group,the correlation between AR scores and DAS28 was analyzed.When SoJIA of the two groups relapsed,the AR group (the treatment group) received anti-rheumatism for arthritis as well as nasal spray and oral antihistamines for AR.The non-AR group (control group) only received the anti-rheumatism for arthritis.The improvement of SoJIA between the two groups was analyzed.The continuous variables were analyzed by Student's t-test or the MannWhitney U-test as appropriate.Categorical data were compared between different groups by the Chi-square test.Correlations were determined by Pearson or Spearman's ranking.Results ① In the retrospective analysis:the physician's and patients'/parents' general assessment on a 10 cm visual-analogue scale (VAS),number of joints with res-triction of movement,number of swollen joints,ESR,serum ferritin(SF) and childhood health assessment questionnaire (CHAQ) score were significantly elevated in the AR group compared with Non-AR group at the disease onset [(6.7±1.0) cm vs (4.8±1.9) cm; (6.5±1.4) cm vs (3.2±1.5) cm; 4.1±2.7 vs 2.7± 1.7; 3.4±2.4 vs 1.4±1.5; (87±35) mm/1 h vs (61±40) mm/1 h; (888±1 043) μg/L vs (311±324) μg/L; 1.6±0.5 vs 0.7±0.3,respectively; all P＜0.05].At the 3 and 6 months follow-up after disease onset,the proportion of patients who reached ACR pedi 50,70 in AR group were lower than the Non-AR group,while the cumulative glucocorticoid dose was higher in the AR group than that of those without AR [at 3 months 38％ vs 71％; 13％ vs 46％; (76±35) mg/kg vs (43±36) mg/kg,respectively; at 6 months 25％ vs 71％; 19％ vs 64％; 127±57 vs 67±58,respectively,all P＜0.05]; In the AR group,at the disease onset,3 and 6 months follow-up after disease onset,the scores of AR was positively correlated with DAS28(r=0.741,0.703,0.680,respectively; all P＜0.05).② In the prospective study:when SoJIA was relapsed,systemic feature score,the physician's and patients' /parents' general assessment on a l0 cm VAS,number of joints with restriction of movement,number of swollen joints,ESR,SF and CHAQ score were significantly elevated in the treatment group compared with the control group [3.8±1.5 vs 2.1±1.1; (5.6±1.5) cm vs (4.5±1.6) cm; (4.6±1.9) cm vs (3.1±1.5)cm; 3.9±1.9 vs 2.5±1.4; 2.4±0.9 vs 1.5±1.2; 92±27 vs 53±37; 565(339,1 192) μg/L vs 171(85,284) μg/L; 13(0.8,1.6) vs 0.7(0.5,1); respectively; P＜0.05].The improvement rate of the physician's and patients'/parents' general assessment on a 10 cm VAS,number of swollen joints,number of joints with restriction of movement,ESR and CHAQ score at the follow-up 3 months were higher in treatment group than the control group [71(55,86)％ vs 46(0,75)％; 67(45,81)％ vs 28(-4,62)％; 92(77,96)％ vs 70(27,88)％; 65(48,81)％ vs 0(-17,67)％; 100(46,100)％ vs 42(0,100)％; 67(49,85)％ vs 37(0,75)％; P＜0.05].At the follow-up 6 months,the improvement rate of ESR,patients'/ parents' general assessment on a 10 cm VAS,number of joints with restriction of movement and CHAQ score were higher than control group [94(85,96)％ vs 73(33,85)％; 89(65,99)％ vs 63(5,85)％; 100(100,100)％ vs 100(0,100)％; 91(69,100)％ vs 72(11,91)％; respectively,P＜0.05].Conclusion AR may exert an adverse influence on SoJIA.SoJIA patients who are treated with combined with AR may have better outcome than those who are only treated for arthritis.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and currently treatment status of intractable ulcerative colitis (IUC). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of inflammatory bowel disease patients, who were hospitalized in Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, from January 1999 to December 2009. According to the reaction to glucosteroids (GCS) treatment, they were divided into GCS effective group and intractable group. The general data, lesion, clinical symptoms and laboratory findings of these two groups were compared.Further treatments and the results of intractable group were analyzed. Results Totally 234 UC patients were enrolled, of which 37.6％ (88/234) patients received GCS treatment, intractable group and effective group took up 23.9％ (21/88) and 76.1％ (67/88) respectively. There was no significant difference of lesion between two groups (P＞0.05). Compared with effective group, the proportion of intractable group was higher in moderately severe bellyache[38. 1 ％ (8/21) vs 13. 4％ (9/67), P＝0.012, OR＝3.97, 95％CI:1.29～12.23], anemia[61.9％(13/21) vs 32.8％(22/67), P＝0.018,OR＝3.32, 95％CI:1.20～9.20], thrombocytosis[57.1％(12/21) vs 29.9％(20/67), P＝0.023,OR＝3.13, 95％ CI: 1.14 ～8.61]and hypoalbuminemia[38.1 ％ (8/21) vs 11.9％ (8/67), P＝0.007, OR＝4.54, 95％CI: 1.44～ 14.32]. Some patients of intractable group could be remission through extending period of GCS treatment, adding the immunomodulators or biological agents and intestinal segment excision. Conclusion UC patients with moderately severe bellyache, anemia,thrombocytosis, hypoalbuminemia at the onset of disease, which may indicate relatively poor response to GCS treatment. Immunomodulators, biological agents and surgery are the further treatment for IUC patients.

Objective To explore the prenatal ultrasonographic features of fetuses diagnosed as echogenic bowel and chromosomal abnormalities. Methods From September 2009 to June 2013, eighty cases diagnosed as echogenic bowel by prenatal ultrasound screening in our hospitals underwent chromosomal karyotype analysis and were followed up till fetal birth. The prenatal ultrasonographic features were carefully correlated with the postnatal findings. Results Prenatal ultrasoundand chromosomal findings of the 80 cases were:(1) Fifty-eight cases of fetuses with echogenic bowel alone (72.5%, 58/80, without chromosomal karyotype abnormalities). (2) Eleven cases of fetuses with additional ultrasound soft markers (13.8%, 11/80, without chromosomal karyotype abnormalities). The ultrasound examination revealed 8 cases of choroid plexus cysts, 1 case of single umbilical artery, 1 case of shorter nasal bone, and 1 case of echogenic intracardiac focus. (3) Five cases of fetuses with severe functional abnormalities or complex structural malformations and normal chromosomal karyotype. The ultrasound examination revealed 3 cases of structural cardiac malformations, 1 case of heart failure and 2 cases of central nervous system malformations. Of them,one case showed complex malformations (right ventricular dysplasia syndrome, cerebellar dysplasia and single umbilical artery), whereas the remaining 4 cases only involve single malformation. (4)Six cases had chromosomal abnormalities (7.5%, 6/80), including 3 cases of abnormal chromosome microdeletions, and 3 cases of abnormal chromosome numbers (1 21-trisomy syndrome, 1 18-trisomy syndrome, and 1 triploid syndrome). All of them had severe structural malformations and abnormal soft markers. The ultrasound examination revealed 2 cases of severe cardiac malformations, 2 cases of central nervous system malformations, 1 case of pericardial/peritoneal effusion, and 1 case of placental chorionic multiple hemangioma. One case of holoprosencephaly (donor of the twins) ended with intrauterine death. The associated abnormal soft markers include nuchal fold (NF) thickening, choroid plexus cysts, umbilical cord cysts, single umbilical artery, and placental chorionic hemangioma. Conclusions The fetuses with echogenic bowelaloneusualyhaveagoodprognosis.Insomecases,echogenicbowelmaydisappearduringvfolow-up.The fetuses complicated with severe structural malformations and chromosomal abnormalities have poor prognosis. For the fetuses diagnosed of echogenic bowel by prenatal ultrasound screening, systematic ultrasound examination should be carried out and clinical chromosomal karyotype analysis was suggested.

Objective To investigate the bacterial infection status,etiology distribution and drug resistance of neurological rehabilitation hospitalized patients,to guide the clinical rational use of drugs,to provide a scientific basis for the development of effective prevention and control measures.Methods From January 201 1 to December 201 4,the clinical data of 334 hospitalized patients in department of neurological rehabilitation of our hospital were ret-rospectively analyzed.The pathogenic culture results were analyzed.Results There were 334 strains of pathogenic bacteria,83.53% of gram negative bacteria,47 gram positive bacteria(1 4.07%),8 fungi(2.39%).The top three infected gram negative bacterias were Escherichia coli,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Pseudomonas aeruginosa.The main Gram positive bacteria was enterococcus.The detective gram negative bacterias were mainly sensitive to piperacillin penicillin/tazobactam and cefoperazone /sulbactam and imipenem,meropenem,cefepime,amikacin.The resistance rate of Escherichia coli to gentamicin,piperacillin and levofloxacin was more than 50%.The resistance rate of Kleb-siella pneumoniae to gentamicin and piperacillin was more than 50%.Conclusion The infection rate of urinary tract and respiratory tract is higher in patients with neurological rehabilitation ward,and the infection rate is higher,and the main part of gram negative bacilli,should be aimed at high risk patients and key links,strengthen the implementation of infection prevention and control measures,rational use of antimicrobial agents.
