1.Advances in imaging and electroencephalogram in the diagnosis of brain injuries in preterm infants
Journal of Clinical Pediatrics 2017;35(7):548-552
The cerebral hemodynamic disorders are most likely to occur in preterm infants, especially in extremely preterm infants with gestational age <28 weeks, due to the immaturity of cerebral vascular development and poor autoregulation of cerebral blood flow. Also the neurons, oligodendrocytes and their precursors in preterm infants are abnormally sensitive to hypoxia and ischemia with low tolerance and high vulnerability, which lead to a higher incidence of brain damage and neurological sequelae in preterm infants than that in full-term infants. Because brain injury in the premature often lacks the obvious nervous system symptom and the sign clinically, it is easy to be misdiagnosed and hence suitable treatment opportunity is missed. Cranial ultrasonography, MRI and EEG are the special examinations for early diagnosis of brain injury in preterm infants. In the diagnosis of early intracranial hemorrhage, cranial ultrasonography is superior to both MRI and EEG, but MRI especially DWI has the highest diagnostic value in the evaluation of leukoencephalomalacia, and EEG plays a supporting role in diagnosis of brain injury in each period. The three techniques have their own advantages and disadvantages. In clinical practice, if three techniques can be rationally used for the diagnosis of brain damage in preterm infants, it would be helpful to detect the disease in time and treat appropriately as soon as possible, and thus reduce the neurological sequelae and disability in preterm infants, and improve the long-term prognosis.

Objective To analyze the occupational health status of radiation workers in Guangdong Province. Methods A total of 8 913 radiation workers who underwent occupational medical examination (OME) in Guangdong Province Hospital for Occupational Disease Prevention and Treatment in 2020 were selected as the exposure group, and 2 024 non-radiological workers who underwent health examination in the same hospital in the same period of time were selected as the control group using convenient sampling method. The study analyzed the prevalence of abnormalities in thyroid, eye lens, blood pressure, complete blood count and micronucleus in individuals of the two groups. Results The abnormal rates of eye lens, blood pressure and complete blood count in the radiation workers in the exposure group were higher than those in the control group (23.3% vs 8.0%, 18.6% vs 9.0%, 18.1% vs 8.5%, all P<0.01). However, there was no significant difference in the abnormal rates of thyroid and micronucleus in workers between these two groups (12.8% vs 11.5%, 0.1% vs 0.0%, all P>0.05). The abnormal rates of thyroid, eye lens and blood pressure in radiation workers increased with the exposure period of radiation (all P<0.05). Conclusion Long-term exposure to low-dose ionizing radiation have certain effects on the thyroid, eye lens, and blood pressure of radiation workers, with a time-effect relationship of years of radiation work.

Objective:
To investigate the safety and efficacy of surgical treatment for chronic radiation intestinal injury.
Methods:
A descriptive cohort study was performed. Clinical data of 73 patients with definite radiation history and diagnosed clinically as chronic radiation intestinal injury, undergoing operation at Department of Colorectal Surgery, the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 1, 2012 to February 28, 2019, were reviewed and analyzed retrospectively. Patients did not undergo operation or only received adhesiolysis were excluded. All the patients had preoperative examination and overall evaluation of the disease. According to severity of intestinal obstruction and patients′ diet, corresponding nutritional support and conservative treatment were given. Surgical methods: The one-stage bowel resection and anastomosis was the first choice for surgical treatment of chronic radiation intestinal injury. Patients with poor nutritional condition were given enterostomy and postoperative enteral nutrition and second-stage stoma closure and intestinal anastomosis if nutritional condition improved. For those who were unable to perform stoma closure, a permanent stoma should be performed. Patients with severe abdominal adhesion which was difficult to separate, enterostomy or bypass surgery after adhesiolysis would be the surgical choice. For patients with tumor metastasis or recurrence, enterostomy or bypass surgery should be selected. Observation parameters: the overall and major (Clavien-Dindo grades III to V) postoperative complication within 30 days after surgery or during hospitalization; mortality within postoperative 30 days; postoperative hospital stay; time to postoperative recovery of enteral nutrition; time to removal of drainage tube.
Results:
Of the 73 patients who had been enrolled in this study, 10 were male and 63 were female with median age of 54 (range, 34-80) years. Preoperative evaluation showed that 61 patients had intestinal stenosis, 63 had intestinal obstruction, 11 had intestinal perforation, 20 had intestinal fistula, 3 had intestinal bleeding, and 6 had abdominal abscess, of whom 64(87.7%) patients had multiple complications. Tumor recurrence or metastasis was found in 15 patients. A total of 65(89.0%) patients received preoperative nutritional support, of whom 35 received total parenteral nutrition and 30 received partial parenteral nutrition. The median preoperative nutritional support duration was 8.5 (range, 6.0-16.2) days. The rate of one-stage intestine resection was 69.9% (51/73), and one-stage enterostomy was 23.3% (17/73). In the 51 patients undergoing bowel resection, the average length of resected bowel was (50.3±49.1) cm. Among the 45 patients with intestinal anastomosis, 4 underwent manual anastomosis and 41 underwent stapled anastomosis; 36 underwent side-to-side anastomosis, 5 underwent end-to-side anastomosis, and 4 underwent end-to-end anastomosis. Eighty postoperative complications occurred in 39 patients and the overall postoperative complication rate was 53.4% (39/73), including 39 moderate to severe complications (Clavien-Dindo grade III-V) in 20 patients (27.4%, 20/73) and postoperative anastomotic leakage in 2 patients (2.7%, 2/73). The mortality within postoperative 30 days was 2.7% (2/73); both patients died of abdominal infection, septic shock, and multiple organ failure caused by anastomotic leakage. The median postoperative hospital stay was 13 (11, 23) days, the postoperative enteral nutrition time was (7.2±6.9) days and the postoperative drainage tube removal time was (6.3±4.2) days.
Conclusions
Surgical treatment, especially one-stage anastomosis, is safe and feasible for chronic radiation intestine injury. Defining the extent of bowel resection, rational selection of the anatomic position of the anastomosis and perioperative nutritional support treatment are the key to reduce postoperative complications.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of buccal acupuncture on analgesia after tonsilloadenoidectomy in pediatric patients.Methods:This was a randomized controlled study. One hundred and twenty-six American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ pediatric patients, aged 3-12 yr, weighing 12-34 kg, with body mass index <30 kg/m 2, undergoing elective tonsilloadenoidectomy with general anesthesia, were divided into 2 groups ( n=63 each) by the random number table method: buccal acupuncture group (group B) and control group (group C). All pediatric patients received the same anesthesia induction and intraoperative anesthesia maintenance. The concentration of sevoflurane was adjusted to keep the fluctuation amplitude of vital sign parameters within 20% of the baseline value. After surgery, the drug was immediately stopped and the children were transferred to the postanesthesia care unit for resuscitation under general anesthesia. In group B, the bilateral neck points, upper neck points, hologram points on the head and Zhongjiao points were selected before removal of the tracheal catheter, and disposable acupuncture needles were inserted directly into the acupoints and remained for 20-30 min. Group C received no buccal acupuncture. The pain Assessment Scale (FLACC) was used to assess the severity of postoperative pain. The postoperative agitation score was evaluated by Aono four-point rating method to evaluate the occurrence of agitation. The effective pressing times of patient-controlled analgesia, rescue analgesia and occurrence of nausea and vomiting within 48 h after operation were recorded. The occurrence of bleeding, infection and broken needle at acupuncture sites was recorded. Results:Compared with group C, the effective pressing times of patient-controlled analgesia and incidence of nausea and vomiting were significantly decreased in group B ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the rate of rescue analgesia and incidence of postoperative agitation between the two groups ( P>0.05). No infection or broken needle was found at acupuncture sites after buccal acupuncture, only 2 cases had slight bleeding at the puncture site, and there was no abnormality after pressing in group B. Conclusions:Buccal acupuncture can enhance the analgesic effect after tonsilloadenoidectomy in pediatric patients.

BACKGROUNDIntravitreal ranibizumab injection is effecitve on treating myopic CNVs, but it could be a risk factor for developing more severe retinoschisis in eyes with preexisted retinoschisis and epiretinal membrane. This study aimed to explore the incidence and features of retinoschisis after intravitreal ranibizumab injection for myopic choroidal neovascularization.
METHODSEighty-three eyes of 81 patients with choroidal neovascularization secondary to pathologic myopia were treated with intravitreal ranibizumab injection. The best corrected visual acuity and optical coherence tomography (OCT) images were recorded at baseline and every month thereafter. Central retina thickness and maximal retina thickness were measured. The subjects were divided into three groups. Eleven eyes that had retinoschisis and epiretinal membrane were in group 1, six eyes that had simple epiretinal membrane were in group 2, and 66 eyes that had neither retinoschisis nor epiretinal membrane were in group 3. Six contralateral eyes in group 1 which had retinoschisis and epiretinal membrane but were not treated with intravitreal ranibizumab injection were set as the control group.
RESULTSSeven of the 11 eyes in group 1 developed more severe retinoschisis, the mean maximal retinal thickness increased from (380.28 ± 90.13) to (467.00 ± 70.20) µm (P < 0.05). The retinoschisis of all 6 eyes of the control group did not aggravate. Compared with the control group, the aggravation ratio of retinoschisis increased significantly (P < 0.05). No new onset of retinoschisis took place in group 2 and group 3.
CONCLUSIONIntravitreal ranibizumab injection may be a risk factor for aggravation of retinoschisis in eyes with preexisted retinoschisis and epiretinal membrane.
