Objective:To determine the incidence of acute focal bacterial nephritis (AFBN) in children with febrile urinary tract infections (UTI) and to identify associated risk factors.Methods:A retrospective cohort study included 181 children hospitalized with febrile UTI at Fujian Children′s Hospital from April 2021 to September 2023. Demographic data, clinical manifestations, and laboratory findings were collected. Patients were categorized into AFBN group and non-AFBN group based on AFBN diagnosis. The incidence of AFBN within this febrile UTI cohort was determined. The diagnostic value for pre-antibiotic blood white blood cell (WBC) count and C-reactive protein (CRP) level, along with post-treatment fever duration and pyuria duration for AFBN was evaluated using the area under curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC).Results:The cohort comprised 181 children with febrile UTI (100 boys and 81 girls), age of 0.6 (0.3, 1.0) years. Eleven patients (6.1%) were diagnosed with AFBN. For predicting AFBN, the AUC was 0.71 (95% CI 0.55-0.85, P=0.026) for pre-antibiotic WBC count and 0.80 (95% CI 0.71-0.90, P=0.001) for pre-antibiotic CRP level, with optimal cutoff values of 16.0×10 9/L and 80.1 mg/L, respectively. For post-treatment parameters, the AUC was 0.79 (95% CI 0.69-0.92, P=0.001) for fever duration and 0.84 (95% CI 0.72-0.97, P<0.001) for pyuria duration, with optimal cutoff values of 1.9 d and 5.5 d, respectively. The combination of pre-antibiotic WBC count >16.0×10 9/L and CRP>80.1 mg/L yielded a sensitivity of 0.73 and a specificity of 0.86 for AFBN prediction. Similarly, the combination of post-treatment fever duration ≥2 d and pyuria duration >5 d demonstrated a sensitivity of 0.82 and specificity of 0.88. Conclusions:AFBN incidence was 6.1% in this cohort of children with febrile UTI. AFBN should be highly suspected in febrile UTI children presenting with either a pre-antibiotic WBC count >16.0×10 9/L and CRP >80.1 mg/L, or a post-treatment fever duration ≥2 d and pyuria duration >5 d.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine on regional cerebral oxygen saturation and cerebral function in patients undergoing intracranial aneurysm embolization. METHODS :Totally 44 patients undergoing intracranial aneurysm embolization in the First Affiliated Hospital of Hunan University of TCM during Jun. 2017-Aug. 2019 were collected and randomly divided into group D (22 cases)and group C (22 cases). Ten minutes before anesthesia induction ,group D was given intravenous injection of Dexmedetomidine hydrochloride injection 1 μg/kg;group C was given buffered normal saline 20 μL. Both groups were induced with Propofol emulsion injection+Midazolam injection+Fentanyl citrate injection+Cisatracurium besylate for injection. During the operation ,group D was given Dexmedetomidine hydrochloride injection 0.5 μg(/ kg·h)+Fentanyl citrate injection+Benzsulfosum atracurium for injection+Propofol emulsion injection to maintain anesthesia ;group C was continuously pumped with buffered normal saline 0.5 μg(/ kg·h)+Fentanyl citrate injection + Benzsulfosum aratracurium for injection Propofol emulsion injection to maintain anesthesia. Before anesthesia induction (T0), immediately after anesthesia。induction (T1), 1 min after tracheal intubation (T2), immediately after operation finished (T3),immediately afte extubation(T4),the mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate 中国药房 2021年第32卷第7期 China Pharmacy 2021Vol. 32 No. 7 ·865· (HR),regional cerebral oxygen satur ation(rSO2)were observed in 2 groups. The levels of neuron specific enolase (NSE)and S100 β protein in serum were measured at T1,T3,6 h after operation (T6). The recovery time ,intraoperative blood loss , nitroglycerin amount and the occurrence of ADR were recorded. RESULTS :MAP and HR of group D at T 2-T4 were significantly lower than those at T 0;MAP and HR of group C at T 2-T4 were significantly higher than those at T 0;the group D were significantly lower than the group C at the same period (P<0.05);there was no statistical significance in rSO 2 between 2 groups at T 0-T4(P> 0.05). The levels of serum NSE and S 100β protein in 2 groups at T 3 were significantly higher than at T 1;those in 2 groups at T 6 were significantly lower than at T 3,but those of group D were significantly lower than the group C at T 3(P<0.05);there was no statistical significance in the levels of serum NSE or S 100β protein between 2 groups at T 1(P>0.05). The recovery time of anesthesia,the amount of nitroglycerin ,the incidence of tachycardia ,nausea and vomiting ,restlessness,shivering and cough in group D were significantly shorter or lower than group C (P<0.05);there was no statistical significance in the intraoperative blood loss between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS :Dexmedetomidine can maintain the hemodynamic stability of patients with intracranial aneurysm embolization during the perioperative period ,has little effect on rSO 2 and brain function ,and has good safety.

Objective:To investigate and compare the histologic characteristics of adenocarcinomas with mesonephric features located in different parts of the gynecologic tract.Methods:Two cases of mesonephric adenocarcinomas (MA) of the cervix and 5 cases of mesonephric-like adenocarcinomas (MLA) of the uterus and ovary were collected in Women′s Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University from January 2018 to October 2020. Hematoxylin-eosin staining, immunohistochemistry and KRAS mutation testing were performed together with review of literature.Results:MA of the cervix as well as MLA of the uterus and ovary had similar morphologic features, showing an admixture of glandular, tubular, papillary and solid growth patterns. However, both MA cases were located in cervical stroma, which demonstrated residual mesonephric ducts present at the periphery. All four uterine MLA cases extensively involved the endometrium and myometrium. The ovarian MLA case was associated with endometriosis. No residual mesonephric ducts were present in the MLA cases. Immunohistochemically, GATA3 was positive in all seven MA/MLA cases. TTF1 was expressed only in 4/5 MLA cases. ER and PR were negative and p53 was wild-type in all cases. KRAS mutation was detected in all five cases. During the 6-32 months of follow-up, one patient developed recurrence and the others were tumor-free.Conclusions:In the gynecologic tract, both MA in cervix and MLA in uterus and ovary have similar morphologic features, immunohistochemical expression and KRAS mutation. However, distinct from MA that originates from mesonephric remnant, MLA is closely related to Mullerian epithelium.

Among them, 58 cases were treated with human-like collagen scar repair gel, 39 cases in adult group and 19 cases in minor group; 30 cases were using Silicone Gel, 20 cases in adult group and 10 cases in minor group. The differences in scar color, thickness, blood vessel distribution, softness, patient's self-conscious symptoms, clinical efficacy scores and adverse reactions were analyzed before and after application of the products at 4, 8, 12 and 24 weeks.Results:The scores of the two groups before treatment were slightly higher than those of the control group except the softness and thickness score test group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the remaining parameters ( P>0.05). The efficacy scores at the 4th, 8th, 12th and the 24th week after application of the two groups showed that there were significant differences in the therapeutic indicators after treatment for different time ( P<0.05) and age grouping. There was no significant difference between juvenile group and adult group ( P>0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the time points of different clinical evaluation scores ( P<0.05). There was no interaction between the evaluation time and the experimental control group and age group ( P>0.05); and not affected by group or age grouping ( P>0.05), no adverse reactions occurred in either group. Conclusions:Human-like collagen scar repair gel is safe and effective in the treatment of proliferative hypertrophic scar, and the clinical efficacy is not inferior to Silicone gel.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of motivational interviewing on health literacy and quality of life of patients on maintenance hemodialysis. MethodsUsing convenience sampling method, 100 patients on maintenance hemodialysis were selected from March 2016 to March 2018 in a blood purification center of a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital. According to dialysis time, the patients were divided into the intervention group (n=50) and control group (n=50). Motivational interviews were conducted in the intervention group. Traditional health education methods were used in the control group. The two groups' scores in health literacy and quality of life from Health Literacy of Patients with Chronic Diseases Questionnaire and Kidney Disease Questionnaire(KDQ) before and after intervention were compared. ResultsAfter 6 months of intervention, the total score of health literacy in the intervention group increased from (87.34±2.85) to (97.34±3.02). The scores of three dimensions of "information acquisition ability", "communication and interaction ability" and"willingness to improve health" were higher than those before intervention, and the total score of health literacy and above three dimensions in the intervention group were higher than those in the control group with statistical differences (P<0.05). The total score of quality of life in the intervention group increased from (100.64±17.62) to (115.60±16.15), among which the scores of "somatic symptoms", "fatigue" and "relationship with others"in the intervention group were higher than those before intervention, and the total score of quality of life and the above three dimensions in the intervention group were higher than those in the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). ConclusionsMotivational interviews can improve the health literacy level of maintenance hemodialysis patients, enhance their awareness of improving health, change their bad behaviors, and improve their quality of life.
