Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in children under 2 years old. Methods The clinical features and treatment outcomes were analyzed in 57 children under 2 years old and compared with 153 children more than 2 years old. Results Compared with children more than 2 years old, in children under 2 years old, the number of cases with fever was fewer, the fever peak was lower and the lasting time was shorter. However, in children under 2 years old, the severe pulmonary signs were more common, the incidence of wheeze was higher, meanwhile, the count of white blood cells (WBCs) was signiifcantly increased, more small pieces of lfuff shadow was showed on chest X-ray, and the pulmo-nary complications were fewer, less corticosteroid was needed for treatment. After one-week therapy, the chest X-ray shadows were disappeared in most of children. Complications out of lungs, such as rash, liver function damage and cardiac damage can be found in both groups and no signiifcant difference (P>0.05). Conclusions Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in children under 2 years old had the characteristics of mild symptoms, severe pulmonary signs, few pulmonary complications, light systemic inlfammations and mild radiological changes.

Objective To investigate the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in the diagnosis of tuberculous mesenteric lymphadenitis by analyzing its enhancement pattern. Methods The conventional ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound images of 62 patients with tuberculous mesenteric lymphadenitis confirmed by needle core biopsy or surgery were retrospectively analyzed. The location, size, shape, internal echo and posterior enhancement of mesenteric lymph nodes were recorded. All cases were divided into two groups:the maximum diameter of the lymph node≤20 mm and the maximum diameter of the lymph node >20 mm, and the patterns of enhancement in two groups were analyzed. Results The conventional ultrasound of 62 cases with tuberculous mesenteric lymph nodes showed enlargement. And the echogenicity was hypoechoic or heterogeneity, containing punctate or clusters of calcification in 19 cases (30.6%). After CEUS, there were three forms of enhancements:rim enhancement in 29 cases (46.8%);inhomogeneous enhancement in 21cases (33.9%);non-enhancement in 12 cases (19.3%). Rim enhancement was more common in the≤20 mm group, while inhomogeneous enhancement was more common in the lymph nodes>20 mm. There was statistically significant difference of the enhancement type between the≤20 mm group and the>20 mm group (χ2=6.782, P=0.034). Conclusions Most of tuberculous mesenteric lymph nodes showed rim and inhomogeneous enhancement in CEUS, and the sizes of mesenteric lymph node tuberculosis influenced the CEUS enhancement patterns. CEUS may provide useful information for the diagnosis of the tuberculous mesenteric lymph node.

To analyze dryeye disease after the femtosecond laser and mechanical microkeratome for laser in situ keratomileusis ( LASlK ) by Oculus dry eye analyzer examination.METHODS: The people who had femtosecond LASlK ( FS-LASlK ) and mechanical microkeratome LASlK in Weifang Eye Hospital from January 2014 to April 2014 were observed. Sixty patients ( 120 eyes ) who had corneal refractive surgery were collected. The average age of patients was 27. 46 ± 6. 65 years old. The LASlK group had 28 patients ( 56 eyes ) and the FS-LASlK group had 32 patients ( 64 eyes ) . The tears river altitude, first tear break up time ( BUT) , and average BUT at preoperative, 1wk and 1mo after operation were observed by Oculus dry eye analyzer.RESULTS:By Oculus dry eye analyzer examination, the preoperative tears river altitude of patients was 0. 25 ± 0. 10mm. First BUT was 6. 70 ± 3. 86s. Average BUT time was 10. 14 ± 4. 51s. At 1wk after operation, the tears river altitude of patients was 0. 19±0. 04mm. The first BUT time was 4.87±1.71s. The average BUT time was 7.77±2.30s. There was significant difference between preoperative and 1wk after operation (P<0. 05). At 1mo after operation in two groups, the tears river altitude of patients was 0. 19 ± 0. 18mm . The average BUT 8. 72 ± 2. 54s. The BUT was 5. 02 ± 2. 30s. There was significant difference between preoperative and 1mo after operation (P<0. 05). The two groups had significant difference in average tears river altitude and average BUT between 1mo and 1wk after operation. There was no significant difference in the first BUT between 1mo and 1wk after operation. There was no significant difference between LASlK and FS - LASlK groups at any time of the test (P<0. 05).CONCLUSlON: LASlK and FS - LASlK patients have different degree of dry eye symptom after operation. Dry eye symptoms mainly display in the decrease of tear production and the stability of tear film. lt will be better after giving artificial tears. Oculus dry eye analyzer is a non-invasive examination equipment. lt can reflect the amount of tears and the stability of tear film. lt is usefull in rapid diagnosis of dry eye and judgment of the degree of dry eye symptom after LASlK operation.

To the cataract patient after corneal refractive surgery, if the intraocular lens power was determined by conventional formulas, different refractive errors may be produced after intraocular lens implantation.This inaccuracy of the lens power mainly came from 2 aspects-errors of corneal refractive power measurement and errors of formulas.Besides, imprecise of ocular axial length measurement and invalid lens position calculation also contributed to the inaccuracy of lens power.Therefore, in order to reduce refractive errors of cataractous surgery in patient underwent refractive surgery, appropriate method should be used to estimate the refractive power of corneal, and proper formula should be selected to calculate intraocular lens power.

Objective To assess the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) on quantitative analysis of re?nal cortex perfusion in hypertensive rabbits model. Methods Hypertensive rabbit modal (n=10) were established by inject?ing N-nitro-L-arginin methylester (L-NAME). CEUS and Cystatin C (CysC) serum level analysis were performed at differ?ent time points:before and the 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th week after injecting L-NAME. Time-intensity curve and area under curve (AUC) were analyzed quantatively while correlation of AUC and CysC were also analyzed. Results Serum level of Cys C in?creased significantly at the 6th week after L-NAME administration which is earlier than the increase of serum levels of Scr and BUN. AUC decreased at first then increased after L-NAME administration. Upon addition of L-NAME, rise time (RT) and peak intensity (PI) decreased while mean transit time (MTT), time from peak to one half (HPT) and time to peak (TTP) in?creased. Our study confirmed a positive correlation between AUC and Cys C (r=0.950, P<0.001). Conclusion Setting up rabbits model by L-NAME is convenient and reproducible, which is an useful tool in experimental study of preclinical and clinical phase of hypertensive renal injury. CEUS combining with CysC serum level analysis is considered as an effective technology for evaluating renal function in hypertensive patients.
