Congenital long QT syndrome ( LQTS) is a cardiac ion channel dysfunction, leading to prolonged myocardial repolarization time. It is characterized by the typical ECG QT interval prolongation and torsades de pointes. It shows clinical recurrence of cardiogenic syncope and even lead to sudden death. Molecular genetic studies have revealed a total of 12 forms of congenital LQTS caused by mutations in genes of the potassium, sodium and calcium channels or membrane adapter located on chromosomes 3, 4, 7, 11, 12, 17, 20 and 21. This review summarized the studies of the pathogenesis of LQTS and gene-related treatments.

Wistar rats randomly divided into groups A,B and C were killed at 2、3 and 12 days after transplantation,respectively.The pathological changes of the donor livers were observed by light microscope and electron microscope.The findings demonstrated that:(1)in the group A there was hepatocellular regeneration including hypertrophy of nuclei and nucleoli,and hyperplasia of mitochondrions and endoplasmic reticula;(2)in the group B the morphologic changes of the allografts involved in distinet fatty degencration and mitochondrial swelling of hepatic cells and peripheral vesscl wall infiltration by monocytes and lymphocytes;(3)in the group C hepatocellular loss with the massive tissue necrosis and fibroplasia occurred in the gratfs.From the above it was concluded that hepatocellular necrosis or loss related to the rejection 12 days after the transplantation might lead to the liver failure in the rats.

The widespread use of antibiotics has been effectively controlled serious life-threatening infections.The trituration,exploitation and use of antibiotics has been rapidly developed and applied to many fields.Due to the extensive use of various antibiotics,the emergences of drug-resistant bacteria and the rates of bacterial resistance have increased unceasingly which has been a common focus in the world.Resistant pathogen can reduce the effectiveness of antibiotics,and which is a serious threat to human health.De-escalation therapy of antibiotics can quickly and effectively control serious infections,and avoid bacterial resistance,and induce fungal infections.The rational use of antibiotics in pediatrics is very imperative,which includes strengthening management of antibiotics,and improving awareness and vigilance of the adverse reactions of antibiotics,and consummating specification of medication.Then,realize the correct,safe,rational medication of antibiotics.

Bronchiolitis obliterans(BO) is chronic airflow obstruction syndrome characterized by small airway obstruction and airflow limitation.In children, BO is secondary to severe infection of respiratory tract, and its development is related with inflammation and immune response.At present, the diagnosis of BO mainly is depended on the clinical manifestation, lung function and examination results of high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) because of difficulty of lung biopsy.Pulmonary HRCT is a non-invasive examination, and worthy of generalization.Currently, BO has no accepted effective treatment,early diagnosis and treatment can block the progression of BO.Due to lack of realization of BO, doctors and parents fail to give enough attention, BO has a prolonged course and very poor prognosis.

Objective The study was to investigate the value of deduction and application of anterior compression index in evaluation of atlantoaxial dislocation and restoration. Method Twenty-eight cases of the control group and 28 cases of atlantoaxial dislocation treated with posterior restoration and screw-rod internal fixation technique before and af?ter surgery were recruited in this study and their data was retrospectively analyzed. All of the people underwent sagittal computerized tomography scan films. The anterior compression index was measured in all cases. Results The mean value of anterior compression index of the control group was 87.86±24.98. The mean value of anterior compression index of the preoperative patients was 230.44 ± 97.60 and the mean value of the postoperative patients was 106.27 ± 73.53. There was significant difference in those two parameters between the preoperative patients and the controls(t=-7.50,P<0.0001). There was no significant difference between the postoperative patients and the control group (t=-1.26, P=0.2171). Anteri?or compression index were significantly lower after surgical operation (t=10.35, compared with before, P<0.0001). Con?clusion Anterior compression index can be an excellent measurement tool for the assessment of relationship of atlas and axis in atlantoaxial dislocation patients before and after posterior restoration operation.

Objective:To determine the di-allelic polymorphisms of TNF gene and their association with Helicobacter Pylori(H.pylori) infection and gastroduodenal diseases in Chinese population with Han nationality.Methods:Two hundreds and ten patients with gastroduodenal diseases(73 chronic gastritis,78 duodenal ulcer and 59 noncardia gastric cancer) and 264 healthy controls were genotyped by the PCR-RFLP method for TNF-? 308,lymphotoxin-?(LT-?) Nco Ⅰ and AspH Ⅰ gene polymorphisms.H.pylori infection status was determined by a validated serological test.Results:H.pylori infection was detected in 90.5% of 210 patients and 62.1% of 264 healthy controls(P

Objective To investigate the effects of forced-air prewarming combined with fluid warming on body temperature and thermal comfort in patients undergoing lobectomy.Methods Forty six patients scheduled for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) of lobectomy were randomized into two groups (n=23 each):warming group (group T) and the control group (group C).Forced-air prewarming combined with infusion heating was applied in the warming group,while only conventional passive warming was used in control group.The tympanic membrane temperatures were recorded before prewarming,after prewarming, during the anesthesia, the end of operation, the moment in and out of the postanesthesia care unit (PACU).Incidence of postoperative shivering, thermal comfort and the time in the PACU were recorded.Results The warming group had a slower temperature decrease at 1,2, 3 hours after operation and end of operation(P< 0.01), warming group had significantly lower incidence of hypothermia and shivering than control group(8.7% vs 56.5%, 4.3% vs 34.8%,P<0.05),and the thermalcomfort score was higher in warming group than in control group(8.52±0.94 vs 7.65±0.83,P<0.05).Conclusions Forced-air prewarming combined with fluid warming has significant clinical effects to stabilize patients` body temperature during operations,to reduce the incidence of hypothermia and shivering and to improve the thermal comfort, which provides a simple and effective temperature protection strategy for patients undergoing lobectomy.

Local recurrence is more frequent in postoperative cervical cancer patients with high-risk factors.It is confirmed that adjuvant pelvic radiotherapy (RT) for the cervical cancer patients after surgery with high-risk factors can improve local control but can't improve the overall survival.Researches show that concurrent chemo-radiotherapy (CCRT) can improve survival rates compared with radiotherapy,but the adverse effects such as leucopenia and gastrointestinal toxicity are observed frequently.Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has been developed to deliver a high radiation dose to an irregular target volume,with relative sparing of adjacent normal tissues.IMRT has excellent local tumor control and overall survival.
