Moreover, the success rate of catheterization in the experiment group was 100.0%,significantly higher than that in the control group(both P<0.01).Conclusion Systematic training system is more effective than the traditional training.It can improve the nurses’technical and theoretical knowledge on ultrasound-guided MST for PICC.

Objective To evaluate the application of prevention technique for mother‐to‐child transmission of human immunode‐ficiency virus(HIV) in Laibin City .Methods Prevention techniques for mother‐to‐child transmission of HIV were applicated in the city .Women in pregnancy test received acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS) counseling and test at the same time .Measures were taken to prevent the mother‐to‐child transmission of HIV for women who confirmed HIV positive ,including the use of antiret‐roviral drugs ,safety midwifery and feeding guidance ,and so on .Results The average HIV counseling and testing rate was 99 .1%(176 001/177 738) for the past 5 years .269 cases were HIV positive ,and the positive rate was 0 .15% (269/176 001) .Via health advisory guidance ,pregnant women diagnosed with AIDS understood the dangers of AIDS and the mode of its transmission ,and then free to chose weather to have the pregnancy terminated .Finally ,there were 67 pregnant women chose to terminate the preg‐nancy ,and 202 women decided to have children who were included in the prevention management system of mother‐to‐child trans‐mission .202 infants were born alive ,192 of which took full amount of antiretroviral drugs .The medication rate was 95 .05% (192/202) .42 d and 3 months after birth ,early diagnosis of HIV/AIDS was performed for the infants ,the positive rate of HIV was 0 .50% (1/202) .There were 118 infants at least 18‐months‐old who had underwent HIV test and no positive case was detected . Conclusion AIDS counseling tests in pregnancy test women is necessary ,which could detect HIV positive women .Comprehensive measures are effective methods for the prevention of mother‐to‐child transmission .

Objective:To explore the risk factors and the treatment outcomes of rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) in Guizhou Province.Methods:The clinical data of 16 548 pulmonary tuberculosis patients with drug sensitivity test results registered in the Tuberculosis Information Management System in China from designated tuberculosis hospitals of 88 counties (cities, districts) in Guizhou Province from January 2014 to December 2018 were collected. The gender, age, occupation, ethnicity, patient registration classification, molecular biology or Lowenstein-Jenden (L-J) solid culture results of positive sputum culture patients, and treatment outcomes were retrospectively analyzed. Cohen′s kappa coefficient was used to analyze the consistency between molecular biology and L-J solid culture in detecting rifampin resistance. Chi-square test and non-conditional logistic regression model were used to analyze the risk factors of mono-rifampicin resistance tuberculosis and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and the factors affecting treatment outcomes.The measurement data were compared by chi-square test or Fisher exact test. Results:The detection rate of RR-TB in the newly diagnosed cases was 6.79%(807/11 883), and that in the retreated cases was 30.01%(1 400/4 665). The drug sensitivity tests of 184 sputum culture positive RR-TB samples were performed by both L-J solid culture and molecular biology, and the rifampicin resistance detection rates were 20.65%(38/184) and 16.85%(31/184), respectively. The consistency between two methods was good ( kappa=0.697, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 0.564-0.830, P<0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that patients aged 20 to 39 years old (odds ratio ( OR)=1.679, 95% CI 1.134-2.487) and aged 40 to 60 years old ( OR=1.526, 95% CI 1.019-2.283) were the high risk groups for MDR-TB. Treatment failure ( OR=27.753, 95% CI 22.455-34.300; OR=2.982, 95% CI 1.544-5.760, respectively), relapse and return ( OR=5.381, 95% CI 4.563-6.346; OR=3.897, 95% CI 2.901-5.234, respectively) were both high risk factors for MDR-TB and mono-rifampicin resistance tuberculosis. The treatment rate of RR-TB patients was 39.96% (396/991) from 2014 to 2016. Among 396 treatment cases, 138(34.85%) were cured and 16(4.04%) died. The patients aged>60 years old had lower cure rate (12.68%(9/71) vs 39.69%(129/325)) and higher death rate (11.27%(8/71) vs 2.46%(8/325)) than those aged ≤60 years. The differences were both statistically significant ( χ2=18.732, P<0.01; Fisher′s exact test, P=0.003). Conclusions:The RR-TB patients in Guizhou Province are mainly re-treated. Young and middle-age (20-60 years old) and treatment history are risk factors for RR-TB. The patients over 60 years old have a low cure rate and a high mortality rate. It is suggested to strengthen the screening, treatment and management of RR-TB to reduce the spread of tuberculosis.

Objective To explore the early clinical characteristics and influencing factors in children with autism spectrum disorders(ASD).Methods From January 2005 to December 2014,193 children with ASD were collec-ted by continuous grouping method from Children's Rehabilitation Training Center in Xi'an.According to the 1∶1 matched case-control study requirements,and the other 193 children from kindergartens and primary schools in the urban areas of Xi'an were collected as healthy control group from March 1 to July 1,2016.The age of children in the case group was(40.78±14.86)months and the age of the healthy control group was(40.61±14.40)months.There were 167 boys and 26 girls in 2 groups and the ratio of boys to girls was 6.42∶1.00.The general status questionnaires,medical history questionnaire,diagnostic chart,Autism Behavior Checklist(ABC)and Family Environment Scale of Chinese version(FES-CV)were completed by parents between 2 groups.Childhood Autism Rating Scale(CARS)was completed by doctors in the case group.By using Excel software,the original questionnaires were completed in 2 entries by 2 persons to set up the database.All data were analyzed by SPSS 17.0 statistical software and conditional Logistic regression was used for multivariate analysis.Results Seventy point eight percent(137/193 cases)of children with ASD had been found abnormal under 2 years old or at 2 years old,and 54.9％(106/193 cases)had been diagnosed under 3 years old or at 3 years old.The average delay from the discovery to the diagnosis was 17 months.The initial abnormalities appea-rances were mainly manifested as no response to calling in 153 cases(79.3％),very little active contact with others in 141 cases(73.1％),silent or less use of oral language in 137 cases(71％),avoiding contact with the eyes of others or lack of facial expressions in 121 cases(62.7％).Their signs were easy to be misdiagnosed as mental retardation and language retardation.Children in the case group began to walk alone at the age of 8 months to 3 years old,and only 62.2％(120/193 cases)of them could walk alone at the age of 18 months or before.The age of conscious speech was at 8 months to 4 years and 4 months,and only 39.4％(76/193 cases)of the ASD children could speak at the age of 18 months or before.The total scores of the ABC scale of the case group were(56.520±22.140)scores and the sub-scales and total scores were significantly higher than those of the healthy control group,and the difference was statistically significant(t=16.845,27.390,16.527,26.320,23.371,32.206,all P<0.001).The positive consistent rate of ABC and clinical diagnosis was 56.5％.The total scores of CARS in the case group was(36.4±8.6)scores,and the positive consistent rate of CARS and clinical diagnosis was 78.8％.There was a statistical significance between the 2 groups in parental education,mother's occupation,family history(x2=29.670,44.593,15.439,6.095,all P<0.05),and there were statistical significance in the main caregivers,family harmony and family income(x2=19.006,7.129,109.027,all P<0.05).There was no statistical significance between the 2 dimensions of independence and achievement orientation between the 2 groups(t=-1.559,-0.139,P=0.120,0.890).The case group in the family cohesion,expressiveness,intellectual-cultural orientation,active-recreational orientation,moral-religious emphasis,organization and control of the 7 dimension scores were significantly lower than those in the healthy control group,and the differences were statistically significant(t=-7.683,-5.734,-8.762,-14.109,-2.026,-4.530,-2.464,all P<0.05).In the case group,the scores of the conflict dimension were higher than those of the healthy control group,and the difference was statistically significant(t=4.925,P<0.001).There was a statistical significance between the 2 groups in gestational age and birth hypoxia(x2=6.898,27.180,all P<0.05).According to multivariate analysis of Logistic regression,people other than parents serving as the primary support,anoxia of newborn,mother of non professional and technical personnel and lower scores of family active-recreational orientation might be the risk factors of ASD,family per capita income of 3 000 Yuan RMB or more monthly,mother education level of high school and above,and lower scores of family conflict might be the protective factors for ASD.Conclusions Clinical features of most ASD children can be easily identified under 2 years old,but if the diagnosis is delayed,the related intervention is late,so importance should be attached to early diagnosis.Mother's occupation and education level,family economic status,family environment,their supervisors,and anoxia of newborn may be the effective entry points in the prevention and treatment of ASD.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders (ASD)among children in kindergartens in Xi′an urban districts.Methods:A stratified cluster sampling method was adopted, and selected all children from 12 kindergartens in 6 urban districts of Xi′an.Primary screening positive children with ASD were identified by filling out the Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC) by their parents and the guardians reports, and then the beha-vioral observations were made to identify suspicious ASD children.Finally these children were diagnosed in the hospital through the autism diagnostic observation schedule, 2 nd edition (ADOS-2). The data were calculated with SPSS 18.0. Results:Totally, 38 cases with ASD were diagnosed among 5 178 children, the prevalence of children ASD in kindergartens in Xi′an urban districts was 7.3‰, and the 95% confidence interval was 4.98‰-9.62‰.The prevalence of ASD in children was statistically significant in different age groups ( χ2=9.914, P<0.05) and gender groups ( χ2=18.812, P<0.05). The accuracy of ASD screening by guardians reports is better than that by ABC. Conclusions:(1)The prevalence of ASD children in kindergartens in Xi′an urban districts is at high level in similar reports in China.If ASD children at the special education institutions and home are considered, the overall prevalence rate is higher, indicating that the prevalence of ASD children in China may be underestimated.(2)With the increase of age, the attendance rate of ASD children in kindergartens has a decreasing trend.

Objective To investigate the construction and implementation of the concept of precise sequential therapy for primary liver cancer.Methods The clinical data of 207 patients with resectable liver cancer who were admitted to the Air Force General Hospital from May 2005 to June 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.Of all the patients,81 received conventional therapy (conventional therapy group),and the other 126 patients received precise sequential therapy (precise sequential therapy group).The conditions of the patients in perioperative phase,during postoperative sequential treatment and the period of follow-up between the 2 groups were compared.All data were analyzed by using the covariance analysis,analysis of variance,chi-square test or rank sum test.Results The detection rates of lesions with a diameter less than 1 cm,operation time,liver resection volume,intraoperative blood loss,rate of perioperative blood transfusion,duration of postoperative hospital stay,incidences of postoperative complications were 81％ (22/27),( 186 ± 36) minutes,(75 ± 29) ml,( 189 ± 60) ml,24％(30/126),(21 ± 12)days and 13％ (17/126) in the precise sequential therapy group,and 18％ (2/11),(222 ± 30)minutes,(133 ±88)ml,(327 ±46)ml,51％ (41/81),(26 ± 17)days and 20％ (16/81) in the conventional therapy group,respectively,with significant differences between the 2 groups (F =10.876,7.390,46.996,31.025,14.556,6.315,4.017,P ＜ 0.05).No significant difference was observed on the levels of alanine transaminase,albumin and the Child-Pugh score before and after the intervention in the precise sequential therapy group,but significant differences were observed in the conventional therapy group.The 1-,2-,3-year tumor recurrence rates and the 1-,2-,3-year survival rates were 17％ (21/126),22％ (17/76),26％ (8/31) and 87％ (110/126),87％ (66/76),84％ (26/31) in the precise sequential therapy group,and 31％ (25/81),38％ (27/71),48％(31/65 ) and 77％ (62/81),75％ (53/71 ) and 60％ (39/65) in the conventional therapy group,respectively.There were significant differences in the prognosis of the patients in the 2 groups ( x2 =4.958,4.292,4.168,4.062,3.640,5.470,P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion Through accurate assessment of the patients' condition before surgery,precise hepatectomy and precise postoperative intervention,the goal of effective control of tumor recurrence,maximum protection of the liver function and improvement of the survival rate can be achieved.

Objective To study the Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in the clinical characteristics and treatment methods. Methods From June 2008 to December 2009,49 cases of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in patients with clinical data were retrospectively analyzed and summarized. Results 49 cases of children were diagnosed with acute upper respiratory tract infection in 13 cases(26.5% ) ,acute bronchitis 21 cases(42.9%) ,bronchial pneumonia, 15 cases( 30.6% ). Azithromycin alone treatment group,24 cases cured 22 cases ,2 cases improved, the cure rate of 91.7% ;erythromycin and azithromycin infusion + oral sequential treatment group,25 cases recovered,21cases improved,4 cases,the cure rate was 84%. Compared with the two groups,difference was not statistically significant(P ＞ 0.05). All patients were treated in our hospital with average of 13.8d,follow-up period without recurrence.Conclusion Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in large differences in clinical manifestations, early diagnosis and treatment should be carried out. Azithromycin in the treatment effect was good, a short course of treatment could be used as treatment of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection.

Objective To analyse clinical application of reversed anterolateral thigh adipefascial flap in repair of defects around the knee. Methods Reversed anterolateral thigh adipofascial flap was employed to repair defects of knee and upper shank in five patients from July 2006 to April 2007. The perforator arteries were detected and labelled with a hand held Doppler flowmeter before operation. The size of flaps containing perforator artery ranged from 6 cmx 8 cm to 12 cm×13 cm. After the descending branch was severed at the bifurcation of the lateral circumflex femoral artery, the flaps were elevated distal-ly to cover the defects of the knee and upper part of the shank. A split thickness graft was harvested to cover the flap. Results All the reversed anterolateral thigh adipofascial flaps survived well, with no complications occurred in donor site. Partial graft necrosis occurred in one patient and healed after conser-vative wound dressing change. Conclusion The reversed anterolateral thigh adipofascial flap is a good choice for repair of defects around the knee, for it can provide long thin vascular pedicle and maintain contour of the donor cite.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the therapeutic effects of Yiqi Sanju Formula (YQSJF), a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, in treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). METHODS: Sixty-seven patients diagnosed with NAFLD were randomly divided into two groups: YQSJF-treated group (39 cases) and placebo group (28 cases). The NAFLD patients in the two groups were treated with YQSJF and placebo respectively for 3 months. Clinical symptoms, the CT ratio of liver-spleen, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA2-IR) and the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) were evaluated before and after treatment. RESULTS: After treatment, the clinical symptoms were improved and the levels of BMI, waist circumference, HOMA2-IR, ALT, AST, TG and TC were decreased significantly in the YQSJF-treated group (P<0.05). The CT ratio of liver-spleen in the YQSJF-treated group was increased significantly as compared with the placebo group (P<0.01).

Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy of high-flow nasal cannulae oxygen (HFNC) in patients with respiratory failure.Methods Computerized PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, CBM, VIP, Wanfang Database up to March 31st, 2017, all published available randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or cohort studies about HFNC therapy for patients with respiratory failure were searched. The control group was treated with face mask oxygen therapy (FM) or non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV), while the experimental group was treated with HFNC. The main outcomemeasurements included endotracheal intubation rate, patient comfort, and the secondary outcome was in-hospital mortality. The quality of the literature was completed by two professionally trained evidence-based medical students, and meta-analysis was performed on quality-compliant literature. Funnel plot was used to analyze the publication bias.Results A total of 17 articles were enrolled including 15 RCTs and 2 cohort studies. There were 3909 patients enrolled, 1907 patients in HFNC group, and 2002 in control group (1068 patients with FM, and 934 with NIPPV). Meta-analysis showed that HFNC had a significant advantage over FM in reducing the tracheal intubation rate of patients with respiratory failure [odds ratio (OR) = 0.51, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.29-0.89,P = 0.02], but there was no significant difference as compared with that of NIPPV (OR = 0.80, 95%CI = 0.54-1.17,P = 0.25). It was shown by pooled analysis of two subgroups that compared with FM/NIPPV, HFNC had a significant advantage in reducing tracheal intubation rate in patients with respiratory failure (pooledOR = 0.66, 95%CI = 0.47-0.94, P = 0.02). Compared with FM, patients with respiratory failure were more likely to receive HFNC for comfort [standardized mean difference (SMD) = -0.41, 95%CI = -0.56 to -0.26,P < 0.00001]. There was no significant difference in hospital mortality between HFNC and FM (OR = 0.82, 95%CI = 0.55-1.24,P = 0.35) or NIPPV (OR = 0.66, 95%CI = 0.37-1.17, P = 0.16). The results of pooled analysis of two subgroups were still unchanged (pooledOR = 0.75, 95%CI = 0.54-1.05, P = 0.09). It was shown by the funnel analysis that there was a bias in the study of tracheal intubation rate in the literature, while the bias of patient comfort and hospital mortality was low.Conclusions Compared with FM, HFNC could reduce the rate of tracheal intubation in patients with respiratory failure, but no difference was found as compared with NIPPV. Compared with FM, HFNC made patients more comfortable, and it was easier to be accepted and tolerated. However, there was no difference in hospital mortality among FM, NIPPV, and HFNC.
