Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of Mycoplasma pneumoniae(MP)infection in children with acute respiratory tract infection in Haikou area and surrounding area to provide a scientific evidence for the prevention and treatment of MP infection in children.Methods A total of 1 699 children inpatients with acute respiratory tract infection in our hospital from 1 January to 1 December,2014 were collected.The serum MP antibody was detected.The MP infection status of different sites,genders,ages and months was retrospectively analyzed.Results Among 1 699 children patients with acute respiratory tract infection,the total positive rate of MP infection was 17.60％,in which male was 15.73％ and female was 21.59％,the positive rate of female was higher than that of male with statistical difference(P＜0.01).The lower respiratory infection rate was 18.75％ and upper respiratory tract infection was 13.70％,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The MP infection rates was common in children aged >1-4 years old,in which children aged >3-4 years old had the highest infection rate.MP infection was sporadic in the whole year and was highly epidemic in March and April.Conclusion MP was an important pathogen of acute respiratory tract infection for children in Haikou during 2014,and its epidemic characteristics were manifested by higher incidence in female than that in male.Children aged within 4 years old are a high onset group and MP infection occurs all year round,March and April are the relatively high onset period of MP infecting.

BACKGROUND: Recently,Illizarov external frame is commonly used to treat adult talipes equinovarus.However,its application is limited in infant and child due to amount of components,large volume and heavy weight. OBJECTIVE: A new three-dimensional external mini-frame was designed to observe its therapentical effects for congenital talipes equinovarus in infants. DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING: Retraspectively analysis of the therapentical effects of the three-dimensional external mini-frame for congenital talipes equinovarus in infants at the Department of Pediatric Orthopedics,Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University between January 2004 and June 2007. PARTICIPANTS: 106 infants (130 feet) with congenital talipes equinovarus,76 males and 30 females aged 1.6 years (range 0.5-3 years),including 80 left feet and 50 right feet,24 cases bilateral feet and 82 cases unilateral feet. Eighty-one cases underwent orthosis or cost treatment but were not cured; 10 cases underwent surgery in other hospitals but all failed,the other cases were not given any treatment. The new three-dimensional external mini-frame was designed by the authors and produced by Hebei Hengshui Kangda. METHODS: According to the age,degree of deformity,being operated or not and pathological changeS of the foot,different treatment methods were applied: Corrcetion and fixation of the foot directly with the new external mini-frame; Limited soft tissue release,followed by corrcetion and fixation of the foot with the mini-frame; Corrcetion and fixation of the foot with the mini-frame after more soft tissue realse on interior posterior foot; Corrcetion and fixation of the foot with the mini-frame after soft tissue release,tendon transfer and restore of muscle force balance. The postoperative external fixation lasted for about 3 mouths. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Evaluatoin of therapentical effects according to Garceau standards. RESULTS: All cases were followed up for 2.5 years (range 0.5-3.5 years). Eighty-six cases (94 feet) were excellent: the foot looked near normal,the calcar pedis was erect,with plantigrade foot in walking,the range of the joint motion in foot was near normal. Seventeen cases (32 feet) were good: the foot deformity improved obviously,but a light adduction was remained in the forefoot,with plantigrade foot in walking,the range of joint motion in foot was good. Three cases (4 feet) were effective: the forefoot adduct lightly,with lightly calcaneus varus,the motion of foot was limitted partly. CONCLUSION: The new 3D external mini-frame shows favorable effects for congenital talipes equinovarus in infants.

[Objective ] To investigate the improvement of the surgical treatment effect on cerebral palsy with spastic diplegia by performing modified surgeries since 2004. [Method ] Twenty-three cases of severe cerebral palsy with spastic diplegia were operated, 14 male, 9 female; age 3 ～ 12 years; the average age of 5.7 years; their main symptoms were unable to stand and walk independently, with severe hypermyotonia of both lower extremities, and a scissoring type of gait when standing, hip and knee flexing contracture, ankle and foot equinovarus. Physical examination: there was hypermyotonia of the iliopsoas, adductor musculus, hamstrings, triceps surae, anterior and posterior tibial muscle, flexor pollicis longus and flexor digitorum longus. The muscle tone was 3 ～4 grade according to Ashworth criterion. Treatment: The intramuscular tenotomy, fascial division or sliding elongation were performed, to lengthen the tendon of the joint flexion contracture, the lateral half of anterior tibial muscle tendon was transferred laterally to balance the muscle force at the foot. Finally, both lower extremities were fixed by a new designed external frame, to straigthen the articular genu, keep both ankles and feet in neutral position, both lower extremities abducting 30°, and to correct all joint deformities. Family rehabilitation programs started after the external frame was removed 6 weeks later. [Result] All cases were followed up in 1 ～3 years with the average 2. 2 years. The results were evaluated as excellent, good and ineffective, according to correction of the joint deformities, the ability to stand and walk, and parent's satisfaction to the treatment. Of them 21 cases were excellent, 2 cases good, and no ineffective case. [ Conclusion ] For the severe cerebral palsy with spastic diplegia in children, reasonable release of the tight tendons of the multi-joint flexion contracture, balance of muscle force at the foot, correction of all deformities and fixation of the lower extremities with the new external frame, and long term of family rehabilitation after the surgery, are more effective treatment.
