1.Rapid on-site evaluation in pulmonology
Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2016;39(9):861-864
Rapid on- site evaluation (ROSE) had gradually become an essential tool in interventional section, especially in pulmonary diseases. People were no longer limited to routine endoscopic operation. ROSE combined with fine-needle aspiration (FNA) enhanced the diagnostic efficiency and diagnostic accuracy of routine bronchoscopes, endobronchial ultrasound- guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) and percutaneous lung biopsy. ROSE can read out the specimen on site , give preliminary diagnosis, and provide help for next operation. The ROSE included cytological ROSE (C-ROSE) and microbiological ROSE (M-ROSE). Now in clinic, C-ROSE was used more broadly. C-ROSE expanded the check range of routine endoscopic operation, and it had been proven to be safe and useful tools.

Objective:To analyze the clinical features of the recurrence of febrile seizures(FS), and observe the efficacy of levetiracetam(LEV)in preventing FS recurrence.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 101 cases of FS recurrence who were admitted to the Department of Neurology of our hospital from May 2017 to May 2020, and collected the information of the recurrence after discharge and adverse effects of LEV application.Cox proportional hazards model regression was applied to explore the relationship between FS recurrence and LEV prophylaxis.Results:Among 101 cases of recurrent FS, the section of 18-60 months(63/101)composed the dominant proportion, of which the episode of 18-36 months(40/101)took the biggest recurrence rate.All 101 recurrent FS cases occurred within 24 hours of fever-beginning time, and 74.3%(75/101)occurred within 3 hours of fever onset.39.6% cases(40/101)were non-high febrile seizures, of which 30.0%(12/40)even had a temperature ≤38°C at the onset.Ninty-five cases of FS were included in the retrospective cohort study.Thirty-eight cases(4 lost to follow-up)were treated with LEV, while 57 cases(7 lost to follow-up)were not treated with any anticonvulsant drugs.The recurrence rate in the prophylactic group was 17.6%(6/34), compared with 44.0%(22/50)in the control group.The recurrence rate of the prophylactic group was statistically lower than that of the control group( χ2=6.325, P=0.012). Cox regression analysis was used to explore the relationship between FS recurrence and various factors, suggesting LEV prophylaxis( OR=0.325, 95% CI 0.129-0.821)and family history of FS( OR=3.060, 95% CI 1.427-6.560)affect the recurrence of FS.Then FS family history was stratified, LEV prophylaxis still statistically reduced the recurrence of FS( OR=0.316, 95% CI 0.124-0.802). Conclusion:The risk of recurrence increases significantly after 18 months of the age.Besides, FS recurrence is relatively common in the initial episode of fever and in the stage of low fever.For children at months of high probability of recurrence, prophylactic drugs should be used in the initial episode of fever and in the stage of low fever.LEV prophylaxis therapy is effective, with mild adverse reactions.
