Objective:To evaluate the effect of acupoint stimulation on the prevention of anticipatory chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting by using Cochrane systematic review method.Methods:Wanfang database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) , VIP Chinese Science and Technology Journal Full-text Database, SinoMed, Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, Elsevier, Springer, ClinicalKey for Nursing were searched by computer, which were supplemented by Internet retrieval, and the retrieval time was from set of these databases to November 2019. All randomized controlled trials and semi-randomized controlled trials that explored acupoint stimulation for the prevention of anticipated chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting were collected. The quality was evaluated by reference to Cochrane Handbook 5.1.0, and the data were analyzed with RevMan 5.0 software.Results:A total of 5 papers were included (544 adult tumor inpatients, 269 in the intervention group and 275 in the control group) , of which 2 were randomized controlled trials and 3 were semi-randomized controlled trials. All literatures were grade B in quality. There were 3 kinds of acupoint stimulation involved, which were auricular therapy, acupoint massage and acupoint application. Meta-analysis results showed that only the subgroup analysis of acupoint application (184 patients) showed that the intervention group was superior to the control group in terms of the control effect of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting ( RR=1.12, 95% CI 1.03-1.23, P=0.01) . Other results showed no statistically significant difference between the intervention group and the control group, either in the Meta-analysis of all literatures, or in the subgroup analysis based on different types of nausea and vomiting, different time of occurrence, whether the intervention group combined with antiemetic drugs or auricular therapy intervention ( P>0.05) . In the Meta-analysis of adverse reactions, 3 literatures analyzed the occurrence of adverse reactions, among which 2 literatures did not observe adverse reactions, and 1 literature showed that the incidence of adverse reactions in the intervention group (22%) was lower than that in the control group (52%) . In the Meta-analysis of depression scores, two literatures (260 patients) evaluated depression scores, using random effect model. The results showed that the depressive symptoms score of the intervention group was lower than that of the control group ( MD=-11.72, 95% CI -19.82-3.62, P=0.005) . In the Meta-analysis of quality of life, 2 literatures evaluated the improvement of quality of life. Since the data could not be combined and only descriptive analysis was performed, the results suggested that auricular therapy could improve quality of life of patients. Conclusions:Acupuncture point stimulation is not yet considered to relieve anticipatory chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, but it does not increase the risk of adverse reactions and it can reduce depressive symptoms.

Objective:To summarize the clinical features of 8 cases with intramycardial hematoma(IMH) following congenital cardiac surgery in children.Methods:We retrospectly searched 8 patients with intramycardial hematoma after congenital cardiac surgery in Guangzhou Women and Children’s Medical Center from 2008 to 2024.Results:Mean age and mean weight at surgery were(13±15) months and(7.8±3.5)kg respectively. 6 of 8 cases were interventricular septal hematoma. In the other 2 patients, intramycardial hematoma was located in left ventrical free wall. All IMH were postoperatively detected by transthoracic echocardiaography. Two patients were managed with ECMO intraoperatively. Finally, all patients were discharged successfully with good clinical results. Mean time to IMH resolution in six patients was(33.5±4.6) days and mean left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) was 0.60±0.09. Another patient was followed up for 3 months and the IMH was not absorbed. One patient was lost to follow-up.Conclusion:IMH is a rare complication after congenital heart disease. The absorption of hematoma is a dynamic process and mean time to IMH resolution is about 1month. In IMH patients with hemodynamic instability, ECMO can be a good treatment to create opportunities for hematoma absorbtion.

INTRODUCTIONAn accurate assessment of peer victimisation (i.e. bullying) is a necessary precondition for research and intervention. Most assessment instruments use the 'list of acts' measurement strategy, which does not account for the actual physical and psychological damage inflicted by bullying. To resolve this limitation, this study developed a peer victimisation scale (PVS) that includes harmful consequences for judgement and measurement of peer victimisation.
METHODSThe PVS is a 40-item self-report questionnaire designed to assess the four aspects of peer victimisation: physical, verbal, relational, and interference and control. A total of 1,469 Grade 3-8 students (49.9% male) were recruited to test the psychometric properties of the PVS. Another 420 Grade 3-8 students were examined by a modified PVS supplemented with a semi-structured interview for scale validation and establishment of the cut-off points for severe bullying. Incidence, age and gender distribution of peer victimisation were also analysed.
RESULTSThe PVS demonstrated good internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's alpha 0.73-0.83) and test-retest reliability two weeks later (correlation coefficient [r] = 0.71-0.80). The scores for each dimension were significantly and positively correlated with the scores from the questionnaire-interview sample (r = 0.73-0.78), and modestly correlated with the scores for symptoms of anxiety and depression (r = 0.36-0.54).
CONCLUSIONThe results were consistent with the measurement constructs, demonstrating that the PVS is a reliable and effective instrument for assessing peer victimisation in children. It may enable more reliable longitudinal studies assessing the impact of peer victimisation to be conducted.
