Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics,diagnosis and treatments of 50 chil-dren with no history of anti-coagulation rodenticide poisoning.Methods Fifty children lacking of poisoning history were admitted to our hospital from Feb 2011 to Dec 2015,who were due to hemorrhage and finally di-agnosed as rodenticide poisoning.The clinical manifestation,characteristics of blood coagulation dysfunction, toxicology screening results and treatments of 50 cases were retrospectively analyzed.Results All 50 cases were from rural area,and denied the history of taking rodenticide by mistake.The time from the onset to ad-mission to the hospital was from 1 d to 120 d,with an average of 11.66 d.Major clinical manifestations in-cluded:34 cases(68%)of skin ecchymosis,26 cases(52%)of epistaxis,10 cases(20%)of bleeding gums and 4 cases(8%)of hematoma at the injection site,with PT 20 to over 200 s and APTT 31 to over 200 s (maximal detection value).The children were diagnosed as rodenticide poisoning when one of brodifacoum, bromadiolone,and diphacinone-sodium or combination of brodifacoum and bromadiolone were detected from their blood specimens,with an concentration of 5 to 3 270 μg/L.The diagnosed children were intravenous dripped with specific antagonist vitamin K1 and the critically ill children were added fresh frozen plasma.All children recovered from hemorrhage within 24 hours after treatment.The level of PT,APTT was close to nor-mal after 3 to 7 days of treatment,and the using of vitamin K1 was accumulated about 30 to 70 mg.The chil-dren were given maintenance treatment of vitamin K1 for three months after discharge until the condition was stable.Conclusion Commonly used rodenticide has the characteristics of fat soluble, easy to accumulate, long incubation period,and long treatment period and so on.Children with no bleeding performance have the clinical tendency of acute bleeding,prolonged PT and APTT should be considered the possibility of rodenti-cide poisoning.Blood or urine samples should be screened for toxicology as soon as possible,and meanwhile children should be given antagonist treatment with special antidote vitamin K1 until the coagulation function is stable in normal range to avoid recurrence of the illness.

Small package of Chinese medicine decoction pieces (hereinafter “small package of TCM”) has its unique advantage.After searching the literature in CNKI,Wanfang,VIP database,the papers linked to small package of TCM were analyzed from its aspect of history,pros and cons,package select-ed,dispensing procedure.Then a“ten Chinese characters pithy formula”directed at the process of small package of TCM dispensing was summarized as “examine(Chinese:审),display (Chinese:摆),watch (Chinese:看),check (Chinese:对),take (Chinese:拿),weigh (Chinese:掂),assign (Chinese:分),verify (Chinese:核),pack (Chinese:包),dispense (Chinese:发)”,which was easy to remem-ber,to understand and to operate,contributing to improving the quality of clinical dispensing and stand-ardizing the skill of TCM dispensing.

To summarize the nursing experience of an elderly postoperative laryngeal cancer patient who developed a Type Ⅳ hiatal hernia.Key nursing care points included the monitoring of shock index and MEWS to promptly activate the rapid response team and implement the Surviving Sepsis Campaign,active fluid resuscitation and continuous monitoring of central venous pressure to prevent cardiopulmonary failure,implementing a personalized postoperative respiratory rehabilitation plan to promote lung re-expansion and prevent pulmonary infection,monitoring and controlling intra-abdominal hypertension,and implementing an intra-abdominal pressure-guided enteral nutrition management plan,employing a restrictive fluid management strategy to reduce tissue edema and maintain fluid and electrolyte balance,implementing an integrated"hospital-community-home"health management plan to improve the patient's quality of life.The patient was hospitalized for 23 days and discharged smoothly,with good recovery after a 3-month follow-up.

2019 novel coronavirus(2019-nCoV) outbreak is one of the public health emergency of international concern.Since the 2019-nCoV outbreak, China has been adopting strict prevention and control measures, and has achieved remarkable results in the initial stage of prevention and control.However, some imported cases and sporadic regional cases have been found, and even short-term regional epidemics have occurred, indicating that the preventing and control against the epidemic remains grim.With the change of the incidence proportion and the number of cases in children under 18 years old, some new special symptoms and complications have appeared in children patients.In addition, with the occurrence of virus mutation, it has not only attracted attention from all parties, but also proposed a new topic for the prevention and treatment of 2019-nCoV infection in children of China.Based on the second edition, the present consensus further summarizes the clinical characteristics and experience of children′s cases, and puts forward recommendations on the diagnostic criteria, laboratory examination, treatment, prevention and control of children′s cases for providing reference for further guidance of treatment of 2019-nCoV infection in children.

Objective:To compare clinical characteristics,treatment patterns and physiological indicators in bipolar disorder(BD)patients with different age of onset.Methods:Totally 380 patients with DSM-5 BD were se-lected in this study.Psychiatrists diagnosed the patients using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview.The clinical information questionnaire and the Global Assessment of Functioning scale were utilized to collected clinical characteristics,treatment status,and physiological indicators.The onset age of BD was divided into 21 and 35 years as cut-off points.Multivariate logistic regression and linear regression were used to analyze related factors.Results:Among the 380 patients with BD,199 cases were early-onset group(52.4％),121 cases were middle-onset group(31.8％),and 60 cases were late-onset group(15.8％).There were 26.6％of patients in the early-onset group in-itially diagnosed as depression,23.1％in the middle-onset group,and 11.7％in the late-onset group.Multivariate analysis revealed that compared to the early-onset group of BD,the middle-onset(OR=2.22)and late-onset(OR=4.99)groups had more risk to experience depressive episodes,and the late-onset group(OR=6.74)had 6.74 times of risk to suffer from bipolar Ⅱ disorder.Additionally,patients in the middle-onset(β=-1.52)and late-on-set(β=-4.29)groups had shorter durations of delayed treatment,and those in the middle-onset(β=-1.62)and late-onset(β=-3.14)groups had fewer hospitalizations.Uric acid levels were lower in both the middle-onset(β=-28.39)and late-onset(β=-31.47)groups,and total cholesterol level was lower in the middle-onset group(β=-0.23).Conclusion:Patients with BD in different age of onset show significant differences in clinical charac-teristics,treatment conditions and physiological indicators.

OBJECTIVES: Fluorouracil chemotherapeutic drugs are the classic treatment drugs of gastric cancer. But the problem of drug resistance severely limits their clinical application. This study aims to investigate whether hypoxia microenvironment affects gastric cancer resistance to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and discuss the changes of gene and proteins directly related to drug resistance under hypoxia condition. METHODS: Gastric cancer cells were treated with 5-FU in hypoxia/normoxic environment, and were divided into a Normoxic+5-FU group and a Hypoxia+5-FU group. The apoptosis assay was conducted by flow cytometry Annexin V/PI double staining. The real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting were used to detect the expression level of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), multidrug resistance (MDR1) gene, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) which were related to 5-FU drug-resistance. We analyzed the effect of hypoxia on the treatment of gastric cancer with 5-FU. RESULTS: Compared with the Normoxic+5-FU group, the apoptosis of gastric cancer cells treated with 5-FU in the Hypoxia+5-FU group was significantly reduced (P<0.05), and the expression of apoptosis promoter protein caspase 8 was also decreased. Compared with the the Normoxic+5-FU group, HIF-1α mRNA expression in the Hypoxia+5-FU group was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the mRNA and protein expression levels of MDR1, P-gp and VEGF were also significantly increased (all P<0.05). The increased expression of MDR1, P-gp and VEGF had the same trend with the expression of HIF-1α. CONCLUSIONS Hypoxia is a direct influencing factor in gastric cancer resistance to 5-FU chemotherapy. Improvement of the local hypoxia microenvironment of gastric cancer may be a new idea for overcoming the resistance to 5-FU in gastric cancer.
