Non-suicidal self-injury(NSSI)in adolescents has gradually become a mental and psychological problem around the world.Globally,the detection rate of NSSI is yearly increasing,and the detection group is also becoming younger.Different from the previous traditional views,NSSI not only exists in the people with affective disorders or psychotic disorders,but may also be present in the people with conduct disorders,substance use disorders,and neurodevelopmental disorders.Its characteristics and neurophysiological mechanisms are also different from pure suicidal behavior and ideation.Adolescents with NSSI often have difficulties and problems in academic performance and social interaction,and these problems are often related to executive dysfunction.There are many components of executive functions,and the impairment of different components indicates that the individual has corresponding dysfunction.Recent research has found that executive dysfunction,including impairments of attention,working memory,and inhibition,is associated with the occurrence of NSSI,and even indicates the occurrence of NSSI in the future.In addition,more and more studies have also confirmed that compared with the normal group,there are differences in brain functions and structures in the NSSI group.In these studies,some researchers have applied executive function-related paradigms and obtained the evidence in task-functional MRI and neuroelectrophysiology.This article reviews the research on executive dysfunction and its neural mechanisms in adolescents with NSSI in recent years.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics of children with septic shock and analyze the drug resistance of blood culture positive bacteria.Methods:The clinical data,positive blood culture strains and drug sensitivity results of 127 children with septic shock admitted to the Department of Intensive Care Medicine of Hunan Children's Hospital from September 2015 to August 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 134 strains of bacteria or fungi were isolated from the blood culture samples of 127 children with septic shock,and gram-negative strains were the main ones,accounting for 67.16% (90/134).Haemophilus influenzae and Escherichia coli were the main gram-negative bacteria,accounting for 38.81% (52/134) and 20.15% (27/134),respectively,while Streptococcus pneumoniae was the main gram-positive bacteria,accounting for 8.21% (11/134),and Candida albicans was the main fungus,accounting for 10.45% (14/134).The number of white blood cells,the levels of serum C-reactive protein,procalcitonin,venous blood sugar and arterial blood lactic acid in patients were all significantly higher than normal values,and the white blood cells count and neutrophil percentage in gram-positive bacterial infections were significantly higher than those with gram-negative bacterial infections and fungal infections( P<0.05).Procalcitonin increased most obviously when infected by gram-negative bacteria,and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05).Gram-positive strains were sensitive to vancomycin,teicoplanin,and linezolid,but only 50% of Streptococcus pneumoniae were sensitive to penicillin.Gram-negative strains had relatively high drug resistance,among which Klebsiella pneumoniae were only highly resistant to imipenem,cilastatin and levofloxacin,reaching 50%.Haemophilus influenzae was resistant to cephalosporins and β-amides enzyme antibiotic,and the drug sensitivity rate of lactamase antibiotics was high,with a resistance rate of 50% only to ampicillin,cefuroxime,amikacin,and compound sulfamethoxazole.There were not many fungal strains,and most antifungal drugs were effective against blood culture-positive fungi. Conclusion:The main pathogens of infection in children with septic shock are gram-negative bacteria,and have high resistance to general antibiotics.We should pay attention to their drug resistance when using antibiotics empirically.

Objective:To explore the clinical value of serum insulin combined with cardiac-related markers in evaluating the severity of sepsis associated encephalopathy (SAE).Methods:The clinical data of 130 children with sepsis who admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of Hunan Children's Hospital from January 2018 to December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively, and the differences of serum insulin and cardiac-related markers in children with sepsis and SAE were compared.Results:The levels of serum insulin, creatine kinase isoenzyme, hypersensitive troponin T, and N-terminal cerebral urine peptide in the SAE group were significantly higher than those in the non-SAE group ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in heart rate and lactic acid ( P>0.05). The levels of serum insulin, creatine kinase isoenzyme, hypersensitive troponin T, N-terminal cerebral urine peptide and lactic acid in the death group were significantly higher than those in the survival group ( P<0.05), while the heart rate was not significantly different ( P>0.05). The area under ROC curve of serum insulin, creatine kinase isoenzyme, hypersensitive troponin T, and N-terminal cerebral urine peptide in predicting SAE were 0.841, 0.599, 0.700, and 0.667, respectively; in terms of judging the prognosis of sepsis, the area under ROC curve were 0.647, 0.669, 0.645, and 0.683, respectively; and in terms of judging the prognosis of children with SAE, the areas under the ROC curve were 0.509, 0.682, 0.666 and 0.555, respectively. Binary logistic regression equation was established with serum insulin, creatine kinase isoenzyme, hypersensitive troponin T, and N-terminal cerebral urine peptide: Y=8.153×NT-proBNP+1.704×CTnT-hs+27.121×insulin+0.946×CK-MB+1.573. The area under the ROC curve of the new variable Y in predicting sepsis SAE, evaluating the prognosis of sepsis, and predicting the prognosis of children with sepsis and SAE was 0.890, 0.756, and 0.729, respectively. Conclusions:Serum insulin, creatine kinase isoenzyme, hypersensitive troponin T, and N-terminal cerebral urine peptide can be used alone to determine the severity of sepsis and sepsis in children with SAE. The combined value of the four indicators is obviously better than that of the single indicator. The combined application of the four indicators may better evaluate the severity of sepsis and SAE.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in the treatment of renal tumors with renal score of 10.Methods:From February 2016 to March 2021, 23 patients who underwent laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in Peking University Third Hospital with renal tumors of R. E.N.A.L. score of 10 was studied retrospectively, including 16 cases of male and 7 cases of female, with 11 cases on the right side and 12 cases on the left side. The patients’ age was (55.0±16.4) years, and BMI was (25.4±3.6) kg/m 2. The maximum diameter of the tumor was (3.5±1.4)cm. Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy was performed after complete examination. The observation indexes included operation time, blocking time, complications, postoperative hospital stay and the trifecta (negative surgical margin, blocking time ≤25 minutes, and no perioperative complications). Results:All operations were successfully completed, only 4 cases were converted to open surgery. The median operation time was 153 min(99-346 min). The median blocking time was 27 min(14-60min). The median postoperative hospital stay was 6 d(4-11 d). Postoperative complications occurred in 7 cases(fever in 5 cases, intestinal obstruction in 1 case, postoperative blood transfusion and leg intermuscular venous thrombosis in 1 case). 9 cases (39.1%) achieved the trifecta. 19 cases who completed by laparoscopy, their operation time was 151 min(99-303 min), blocking time was 28 min(18-60 min), postoperative hospital stay was 6 d(4-11 d), fever occurred in 4 cases, and 6 cases achieved the trifecta (31.6%). The follow-up time was 3-62 months, with a median of 32 months, and there was no recurrence or metastasis.Conclusions:Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is safe and effective in the treatment of renal tumors with renal score of 10.Although the tumor is highly complex, it also achieves the purpose of preserving nephron to the greatest extent. If technical conditions permit, laparoscopic partial nephrectomy could be considered for the treatment of highly complex renal tumors.

Objective:To investigate the etiology, prognosis and clinical characteristics of abnormal serum amylase and lipase in children.Methods:This study was a retrospective study.A total of 7 813 children older than 28 days who had their serum amylase and lipase detected in Hunan Children′s Hospital from August 2017 to August 2020 were included as the study subjects.Children with acute and chronic pancreatitis were excluded.The age, gender, impatient department, imaging exams, discharge outcomes, main diagnosis, diagnostic ICD10 code, and the highest values of serum amylase and lipase during hospitalization were collected through the medical record system.According to the levels of serum amylase and lipase, the children were divided into 3 groups.Patients in group A had normal serum amylase and serum lipase levels.The serum amylase or lipase levels of patients in group B was 1 to 3 times higher than that of group A. The serum amylase or lipase levels in group C was 3 times higher than that of group A. Group B and group C had abnormal pancreatic enzyme levels.According to the prognosis, patients were divided into the survival group and the death group.The relationship of the occurrence of abnormal serum amylase and lipase levels with the age, sex, disease type and prognosis of children was analyzed.Results:The ratio of abnormal trypsin in male and female was 11.5% and 12.9%, respectively.The number of children with abnormal pancreatic enzyme levels in the 28 day -1 year old group, >1-3 years old group, >3-6 years old group, >6 -12 years old group and > 12 year old group were 37 cases (4.6%), 185 cases (15.4%), 199 cases (10.5%), 431 cases (13.9%), and 94 cases (11.7%), respectively.The mortality rate was 1.6% (112/6 867 cases) in group A, 5.2% (32/617 cases) in group B, and 7.6% (25/329 cases) in group C. The mortality risk of group B and C was both higher than that of group A. Compared with group A, the OR (95% CI) of group B and group C was 3.30 (2.21-4.93) and 4.96 (3.17-7.77), respectively.In group C, the top five diseases were parotitis (26.4%), cholangiectasis (11.6%), choledochal cysts (8.5%), gastroenteritis (4.5%) and sepsis (3.3%). Conclusions:Pancreatic enzyme abnormalities in children are associated with adverse prognosis.Pancreatic enzyme abnormalities are more prone to occur in children aged >1-3 with mumps, digestive diseases and congenital digestive system structural deformities.In addition, children with sepsis are also easy to present pancreatic enzyme abnormalities.Clinical attention should be paid to the possibility of secondary pancreatic damage in children with sepsis.

Objective:To study the clinical features of children with pertussis and the risk factors of severe pertussis.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed based on clinical data and laboratory examination results of hospitalized children with pertussis who admitted to the intensive care unit, respiratory department, and emergency general department at Hunan Children′s Hospital from January 2019 to March 2020.According to the age, the patients were divided into age ≤3 months group( n=58)and age >3 months group( n=64). According to sputum culture, 63 cases were divided into negative sputum culture group and 59 cases were positive sputum culture group.The patients were also divided into vaccinated group( n=19)and unvaccinated group( n=103). Severe disease was seen in 28 cases, and the other 94 cases had the modest disease.The clinical characteristics between two groups were compared, and the risk factors of severe pertussis pneumonia were analyzed. Results:The hospitalization days in age ≤3 months group was higher than that in age >3 months group.It was also found that shortness of breath, apnea, cyanosis after coughing, heart rate decline were more common in age ≤3 months group than those in age >3 months group( P<0.05). The incidences of respiratory failure and heart failure in positive sputum culture group were higher than those in negative sputum culture group.Clinical characteristics such as hospitalization days, hospitalization expenses, peak white blood cell count, peak lymphocyte count, and incidence of bacterial infection were higher in severe pertussis group than those in non-severe pertussis group( P<0.05). Four patients were treated with exchange blood transfusion, and one patient died.Logistic regression analysis revealed that fever, wheezing, cyanosis after coughing and white blood cell count>20×10 9/L were risk factors for severe pertussis.White blood cell count of 20×10 9/L and lymphocyte count of 14×10 9/L had the highest sensitivity and specificity in predicting severe pertussis(0.71, 0.78; 0.54, 0.79). Conclusion:The younger the children are, the more likely they have shortness of breath, apnea, cyanosis, heart rate falls, and the longer the hospital stay.Bacterial infection will aggravate pertussis.Patients with fever, wheezing, cyanosis after coughing, and white blood cell count>20×10 9/L are more likely to develop severe pertussis.The white blood cell count >20×10 9/L and the lymphocyte count >14×10 9/L are associated with severe pertussis.
