In the past ten years, 52 patients with double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) were operated on in Xijing Hospital. They constituted 2.2% (52/1881) of all patients with congenital heart diseases. Of them, there were 32 males and 20 females, whose ages ranged from 4.5 to 30 years old. In one patient there was pure DCRV, and the remaining 51 patients DCRV was associated with other congenital cardiac anomalies, in which VSD was the most common (50), followed in order by pulmonary stenosis (6), aortic valve prolapse (4), atrial septal defect (2), and subaortic stenosis (1). The repair of DCRV and other intracardiac defects was done through the right ventricolotomy in 47 cases and through the right ventricolotomy plus atriotomy in 2 cases. In another 2 cases the operation was done via the right atriotomy and 1 case pulmonary arteriotomy, and only VSDs were closed, but DCRVs were missed. The major postoperative complications included cardiac arrhythmia (11) and low output syndrome (8). Three patients died, with the operative mortality of 5.8%. In this series, according to characteristics of the anomalous muscle bundle and its resulting obstruction, we divided 52 case DCRVs into two types: fibromuscular diaphragmatic type (24 cases, 44.7%) and muscular bundle-gap type (28 cases, 55.7%). In both types, there were not only hypertrophied anmalous muscle bundles on the septal side, but also hypertro-phied ventricoinfundibulum fold on the parietal side. In a few cases, the ventricoinfundibulum fold was more hypertrophic than the anomalous muscle bundle on the septal side.

Objective :
To investigate the mental health status of the pupils from Grade Four and Five in Jiading District of Shanghai, and to provide evidence for mental health intervention.
Methods :
All the students from Grade Four and Five in Jiading District, Shanghai were selected as survey objects. The MHT was used to evaluate their mental health status, and the influencing factors of mental health problems were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression model.
Results :
A total of 3 788 questionnaires were issued, of which 3 100 ones were valid and the effective rate was 81.84%. The detection rate of mental health problems was 17.06%. The detection rates of impulse tendency, terror tendency, physical symptoms, sensitivity tendency, self-blame tendency, loneliness tendency, anxiety towards people and learning anxiety were 11.77%, 15.55%, 12.97%, 16.19%, 10.10%, 4.81%, 13.16% and 14.00%, respectively. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that female students ( OR=1.617,95%CI: 1.325-1.974 ) , poor self-rated appearance ( OR=3.683, 95%CI: 2.428-5.586 ) ,only one or two friends ( OR=1.806, 95%CI: 1.342-2.428 ) , poor academic performance ( OR=1.626, 95%CI: 1.167-2.267 ) , primary school education or below of mother ( OR=1.539, 95%CI: 1.107-2.139 ) general or poor relationship with mother ( OR=1.785, 95%CI: 1.303-2.444 ) or father ( OR=1.745, 95%CI: 1.336-2.280 ) were risk factors for mental health problems.
Conclusion
The fourth-to fifth-grade primary school students in Jiading District of Shanghai have high detection rate of psychological problems. Gender, the number of friends, academic performance, education level of mother and the relation with parents are associated.

Objective To explore the imaging characteristics and make the differential diagnosis of intraspinal extramedullary epidural lesions. Methods 23 cases with intraspinal extramedullary epidural lesions confirmed by puncture or surgical pathology were selected for retrospective analysis of the lesion morphology,MRI signs and the relationship between the lesion and surrounding tissues.Results Intraspinal extramedullary epidural lesions were more often located at thoracic spinal canal.The shapes of lesions were always various.The malignant tumors were irregular.It could damage the adjacent bone and grew surrounding the spinal cord.Leaping growth and multiple vertebral involvements could be seen in metastasis.The complex components of lesions were related to heterogeneous signal intensity on MRI,which could be presented with hypoGto hyperGintense on T1 WI and T2 WI.The angiolipoma showed hypoGto hyperGintense on T1 WI,and the hyperGintense signal could be suppressed with fatGsuppressed sequence.Meningioma tended to present with homogeneous signal on both T1 WI and T2 WI, with dural tail on contrast MRI.All of the lesions were moderately or significantly enhanced on contrast MRI.Conclusion Intraspinal extramedullary epidural lesions include a wide range of lesions,and the components of lesions are very complex.Among them,the distinctive MRI characteristics include the lesions containing fat and vascular components,besides malignant lesions invading adjacent tissues.Comprehensive analysis of the shape and signal of lesions,as well as the relationship between lesions,and surrounding structures is very helpful in differential diagnosis of intraspinal extramedullary epidural lesions.

Objective To observe the effect of Kinesio Taping with lattice shapes on pregnancy-related low back pain (PLBP). Methods From March, 2017 to April, 2018, 56 patients with PLBP were randomly divided into the control group (n = 28) and experimental group (n = 28). Both groups received the core stability training, while the experimental group accepted Kinesio Taping with lattice shapes additionally. They were assessed with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Roland-Morris Dysfunction Questionnaire (RMDQ), range of lumbar activity and torso angle before, three days and two weeks after treatment. Results The range of lumbar activity improved significantly in both groups (t > 6.327, P < 0.01) three days after treatment, while the scores of VAS and RMDQ, and the torso angle improved significantly in the experimental group (t > 4.862, P < 0.001). The scores of VAS and RMDQ, the range of lumbar activity, and the torso angle improved significantly in both groups two weeks after treatment (P < 0.001), and improved more in the experimental group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Kinesio Taping with lattice shapes combined with core stability training can further reduce the lower back pain and improve the function for the PLBP patients.
