Objective To explore the application of high-frequency oscillatory ventilation(HFOV)postoperatively after open heart surgery in children with congenital heart disease.Methods From Jun.2007 to Jun.2008,a total of 1 957 cases were operated in pediatric center of Fuwai cardiovascular hospital.Thirteen cases of 1 957 were given HFOV.Among these 13 patients,8 were male and 5 were female;Age was(13.4?15.4)months.The range of weight was 4.2-12.5 kg.Four cases were tetralogy of Fallot,3 cases were transposition of the great arteries(1 case was corrective transposition of the great arteries),2 cases were total anomalous pulmonary venous connection,2 cases were total endocardial cushion defects,2 cases were pulmonary artery atresia,all patients were under cardiopulmonary bypass repaired operation except 1 patient with PAA under Blalock-Taussig procedure.All patients were mechanical ventilated after surgery.Results The duration of switching general mechanical ventilation to HFOV was(15.70?20.33)days and patients continued to be on HFOV about(10.0?7.5)days.In short term,the lung function of ventilation and gas exchange were be improved by HFOV,but the long-term result was not sa-tisfactory due to a high mortality.There were 5 survived(38.4%)in this group.Six cases of the patients succumbed to consolidation of lung.The commonest complication was pneumothorax(7 cases).Conclusions Short term of HFOV in children with congenital heart disease was satisfactory postoperatively.But there was a high mortality.HFOV can be regarded as a transition method for unsatisfactory long-term.

Objective To investigate domestic child abuse within one year before the survey being conducted in Grades 4-6 preliminary school students and explore the relationship between domestic child abuse and mental health problems including prevalence of mental disorders,anxiety,depression as well as children's selfawareness in this sample.Methods Screen Questionnaire of Child Abuse was used to screen all the students participated in the survey.For those students whose screen results were positive,further face to face interview was needed to verify the abuse history.Once a child was identified as abused one,a student without abuse history would be matched by sex and the same age.Both groups with abused history and without abuse history over past year were evaluated by the two child psychiatrists with diagnostic an statistical manual of mental disorder (DSM-Ⅳ) and mental health scales.Results 1500 10-13 year-old children received child abuse screening.23.73％ students surveyed over the past year suffered child abuse in the family.The proportion of boys who were victims of domestic child abuse was 30.44％ while 17.44％ to girls (x2 =5.95,P ＜ 0.01).The proportion of male students who were victims of domestic abuse was two times that of female students.For all participants,14.6％ had been suffered one-way abuse,5％ for two-way abuse,and 3％ for three-way abuse.Prevalence of anxiety disorder in abused students was higher than in non-abused ones (9.26％ vs 3.45％,x2 =3.19,P=0.0015).Similarly,the rate of disruptive behavior disorder in abused students was higher than in non-abused ones(18.53％vs 9.22％ x2 =3.61,P=0.0001).The total scores of The Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorder was higher in abused students group than in non-abused students group while the total scores of Piers-Harris Children's self-concept Scale was lower in abused student group than in non-abused student group.Conclusion Domestic child abuse in 10-13 old-age students is a widespread phenomenon and abuse history over last year is associated with current mental health level.

Objectives To study the age and gender distribution of clinical and non-clinical depressive symptoms in chil-dren, and the potential link between non-clinical and clinical depressive symptoms. Methods 4520 children aged 8-15 years old were screened for mental disorders by Strength and Dififculties Questionnaire (SDQ) and the Development and Well Being Assessment (DAWBA), and further assessed by the Depression Self-Rating Scale for Children (DSSC). Fifty-three children diagnosed as depressive disorder were included in clinical group and 1504 children without depression disorders whose DSSC scores≥14 were included in non-clinical group. The relationship between gender, age and DSSC scores was analyzed. Results Interaction effect on DSSC scores between gender and age was found in clinical group (F=4.40, P=0.049), but not found in non-clinical group (F=1.04, P=0.409). DSSC scores of girls were higher than that of boys in clinical group (t=2.16, P=0.048). There was no statistically signiifcant main effect of gender in non-clinical group (F=0.21, P=0.646). No signiifcant difference in DSSC scores existed among different age groups in clinical group (F=0.82, P=0.573). There was signiifcant main effect of age in non-clinical group (F=1.96, P=0.048). Conclusions There were different age and gender distribution of clinical and non-clinical depressive symptoms in children.

The design space of the high shear wet granulation process was established and validated within the framework of quality by design (QbD). The system of microcrystalline cellulose-de-ioned water was used in this study. The median granule size and bulk density of granules were identified as critical quality attributes. Plackeet-Burmann experimental design was used to screen these factors as follows: dry mixing time, the impeller and chopper speed of dry mixing, water amount, water addition time, wet massing time, the impeller and chopper speed of wet massing and drying time. And the optimization was implemented with the central composite experimental design based on screened critical process parameters. The design space of the high shear wet granulation process was established based on the quadratic polynomial regression model. Since the P-values of both models were less than 0.05 and values of lack of fit were more than 0.1, the relationship between critical quality attributes and critical process parameters could be well described by the two models. The reliability of design space, illustrated by overlay plot, was improved with the addition of 95% confidence interval. For those granules whose process parameters were in the design space, the granule size could be controlled within 250 to 355 μm, and the bulk density could be controlled within a range of 0.4 to 0.6 g x cm(-3). The robustness and flexibility of the high shear wet granulation process have been enhanced via the establishment of the design space based on the QbD concept.

Objective To explore the prevalence and influential factors of chronic respiratory system diseases among resi-dents over 1 5 years old in Hubei province and provide evidence for disease prevention.Methods During October to November in 2013,through stratified cluster sampling,we sampled 20 cities or counties.The survey included the the general condition of family, individual,chronic diseases.Results A total of 28 563 residents answered the questionnaire and 423 of them reported chronic re-spiratory system diseases by themselves.The prevalence rate was 14.8‰.These included 229 cases with COPD(54.1%),44 cases with asthma(10.4%),35 cases with chronic pharyngolaryngitis(8.3%)and 1 1 5 cases with other chronic respiratory system disea-ses(27.2%).In urban and rural area,the prevalence rate were 13.6‰ and 1 5.7‰ respectively.Multivariate logistic analysis showed that gender,age,economic status and medical insurance are influential factors of chronic respiratory system diseases.Conclusion Prevalence rate of chronic respiratory system diseases among residents over 1 5 years old in Hubei province was slightly increased and disease control measures should be brought out.

OBJECTIVETo study the therapeutic effects of Qianggan Capsule (QC) combined Lamivudine on hepatic fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B.

METHODSEighty-five patients were randomly divided into two groups, group A (40 cases) were treated with QC and Lamivudine and group B (45 cases) were treated with QC alone both for 6 months. Hepatic fibrosis related indexes and pathologic examination of liver biopsy were performed within 3 months before treatment and in 1 month after treatment.

RESULTSSerum levels of hyaluronic acid, collagen N and laminin decreased markedly after treatment in both groups (P < 0.05). Hepatic histopathological examination showed that the total effective rate of impovement in activity of inflammation-necrosis and fibrosis was 80.0% and 70.0% in group A, 57.8% and 75.6% in group B, respectively, the combined treatment showed a better effect in improving the activity of inflammation-necrosis than QC alone (P < 0.05), but with no significant difference to the latter in improving fibrosis.

CONCLUSIONQC combined Lamivudine could markedly reduce the activity of hepatic inflammation-necrosis, QC alone could also improve hepatic fibrosis.

Objective To explore the care burden and its influencing factors of primary caregiver of patients with spinal cord injury. Methods A total of 120 primary caregiver of spinal cord injury patients were selected as research object. The general information of SCI patients and their primary caregiver were investigated by SCI patient general data questionnaire and primary caregiver in SCI patient general data questionnaire, caregiver burden of spinal cord injury were investigated bycaregiver burden inventory. The relationship between the general information of patients and caregivers and the care burden analyzed. Results Caregiver burden of elderly patients was significantly lower than that of younger ones (F=54.053,P<0.01). The more serious of spinal cord injury, the higher of care burden (F=315.104,P<0.01). The patients with neck and multiple segmental spine injury and postoperative complications had a higher care burden (F=199.203,t=6.462, 32.195,P<0.01). When the caregivers were female, spouses or children, with poor health condition, with higher education degree, and as cadres or workers, caregiver burden was higher (t=6.061,F=22.073-52.392,P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the degree of spinal cord injury, complications, gender, and the relationship between the patients were the main factors that influenced the care burden. Conclusions The main factors influencing the care burden are spinal cord injury degree, complications, gender, and the relationship between the patients. Clinical managers needs to develop appropriate social support system for the factors which affect the caregiver, in order to ease the caregiver′s care burden.
