Objective:To develop a perinatal depression screening scale for Chinese urban version and test its reliability and validity.Methods:Naturally conceived women who were≥12 weeks of gestation and had regular prenatal examinations or delivered within four weeks in Xi'an and Foshan were recruited using convenience sampling. Initial entries were created through clinical interviews and expert validation of 50 of these pregnancies. Further item screening and testing for reliability and validity using correlation analysis, critical ratio method, homogeneity test, and factor analysis were performed. The final questionnaire was formed and then used to test the subjects. Fifty women who had completed the questionnaire effectively were selected for retesting 10 to 15 days after the initial evaluation. A structural equation model was constructed using the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) as the reference criterion to conduct the scale's exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The receiver operating characters curve was used to determine the cut-off point of the scale.Results:(1) 1 300 questionnaires were issued, and 1 049 valid questionnaires were received with a recovery rate of 80.7%. Among them, 601 were used for exploratory and correlation analysis, and 448 were used for confirmatory factor analysis. (2) The initial entries of the scale totaled 63. After eliminating indicators that did not meet the requirements for item analysis, the final scale consisted of 22 entries in total. The final scale consisted of six dimensions, including "abnormal mood", "loss of interest and pleasure," "sleep disorder," "self-blame and guilt," "decline in conscious thought ability," and "lack of energy". (3) The correlation coefficients between the above six dimensions and EPDS were 0.609, 0.322, 0.423, 0.522, 0.545, and 0.516, respectively. The one between the total scale and EPDS was 0.715 (all P<0.01). (4) The confirmatory factor analysis of each model and the scale showed an acceptable fit and a stable factor structure with indices Chi-square/degrees of freedom =2.504, square root of approximation error=0.058, standardized root mean square residual=0.048, comparative fit index=0.925, Tueker-Lewis index=0.911. After retaining 22 items, the Cronbach's coefficients of the six dimensions ranged from 0.708 to 0.870. (5) The test-retest reliability of the total scale, six dimensions, and 22 items were 0.936, 0.786-0.846, and 0.720-0.886, respectively. (6) The receiver operating characteristic curve of the scale was drawn with EPDS≥13 as the cut-off value, and the area under the curve (AUC) of EPDS was 0.808 (95% CI: 0.744-0.872). When the original cut-off point was 21, the Youden index was the max (0.561), with sensitivity and specificity of 0.952 and 0.609, respectively. The Kappa value was 0.691, indicating that the scale was consistent with EPDS. Conclusion:This study preliminarily established a Chinese urban version of the perinatal depression screening scale with a stable factor structure and good reliability and validity.

Objective:To develop the Self-Stigma Scale for Drug Addicts(SSSDA),and test its validity and reliability.Methods:On the basis of literature analysis,open questionnaire survey,semi-structured interview and ex-pert consultation,the theoretical structure of the questionnaire was developed,and 943 drug addicts were test-ed.Sample 1(n=483)was used for item analysis and exploratory factor analysis,and sample 2(n=460)was used for confirmatory factor analysis,criterion related validity and internal consistency reliability analysis.Sixty-four drug addicts were retested 4 weeks later for test-retest reliability test.The criterion related validity was tested with the Drug Stereotype Threat Scale.Results:The scale consisted of 6 dimensions and 31 items,including self-negative cognition,stereotype identity,confidentiality,social avoidance,stigma experience,and stigma experience in the process of detoxification(factor loadings were from 0.41 to 0.81),which explained 64.09％of the total vari-ance.The 6-factor structure model fitted the data well(x2/df=2.82,RMSEA=0.06,CFI=0.92,GFI=0.85,TLI=0.91).The total scores and factor scores of the SSSDA were positively correlated with the DSTS scores(ICC=0.10-0.22,Ps＜0.05).The Cronbach α coefficients for the total scale and each dimension were between 0.80 and 0.95,and the test-retest reliability coefficients(ICC)were between 0.82 and 0.94.Conclusion:The Self-stigma Scale for Drug Addicts(SSSDA)initially developed in this study has satisfactory reliability and validity.

Objective To investigate risk factors of postoperative pulmonary complications(PPCs)in children after video-assisted thoracoscopic lung resection.Methods Retrospective analysis of clinical data of 566 children,334 males and 232 females,aged≤6 years,ASA physical statusⅠorⅡ,enrolled for video-assisted thoracoscopic lung resection.The children were divided into two groups based on whether they developed PPCs within 7 days after surgery:the PPCs group and the non-PPCs group.Factors with P≤0.2 and perceived as potentially clinically meaningful,were included in the binary logistic regression model.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn and the area under the curve(AUC)was calculated.Results A total of 123 children(21.7%)developed postoperative pulmonary compli-cations(PPCs).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed longer duration of one-lung ventilation(OLV),faster respiratory rate during OLV and inexperienced surgeon were found to be independently risk factors of PPCs.Higher PEEP level was protective factors of PPCs(The maximum PEEP was 7 cmH2 O).The prediction model was Logit(P)=-4.41+0.006×OLV duration+0.063×OLV respiratory rate+0.569×inexperienced surgeon(yes = 1)-0.16×maximum PEEP value.The ROC curve showed a good accuracy with an area under the curve of 0.682(95%CI 0.631-0.734),and sensitivity was76.4%,and specificity was 69.6%.Conclusion Longer OLV duration,faster repiratory rate and less surgeon experience are found to be independently risk factors of PPCs.Higher PEEP level is protective factor of PPCs.

Objective:To analyze and clarify the causes, types, risk factors and treatment principles of early postoperative tachycardia in children with congenital heart disease.Methods:A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 2 126 children with primary radical congenital heart surgical procedure in Shanghai Children′s Hospital from January 2014 to December 2020, including 1 322 cases of ventricular septal defect or ventricular septal defect combined with atrial septal defect, 421 cases of atrial septal defect, 194 cases of tetralogy of Fallot, D-transposition of the great artery or double outlets of right ventricle combined with pulmonary stenosis, and 189 cases of other complex congenital heart disease. The surgical method is a median sternal skin incision or a small right axillary skin incision, and cardiopulmonary bypass is established routinely. The age, body mass, disease type, cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic occlusion time, vasoactive drug use, ECG monitoring and other indexes were observed and monitored.Results:There are 425 cases of early postoperative tachycardia in 2 126 children with congenital heart disease, with an incidence of 20.0%. The incidences of sinus tachycardia, borderline ectopic tachycardia, atrial tachycardia and ventricular tachycardia were 14.8%(314/2 126), 4.5%(96/2 126), 0.8%(17/2 126) and 0.5%(10/2 126), respectively. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the low age ( OR=1.98, 95% CI: 1.25-2.65, P<0.01), low weight ( OR=2.35, 95% CI:1.86-2.75, P<0.01), large ventricular septal defect ( OR=1.56, 95% CI:1.09-2.06, P=0.02), complex congenital heart disease ( OR=2.03, 95% CI: 1.57-2.52, P<0.01), long duration of cardiopulmonary bypass ( OR=1.77, 95% CI: 1.23-2.28, P<0.01), long aortic cross-clamp time ( OR=1.89, 95% CI:1.20-2.55, P<0.01), acidosis ( OR=1.63, 95% CI:1.11-2.14, P<0.01), and the combination usage of vasoactive drugs ( OR=1.86, 95% CI:1.23-2.48, P<0.01) were significantly associated with the occurrence of early postoperative tachycardias. Conclusion:This study has important clinical guiding value for predicting early postoperative tachycardia in children with congenital heart disease, clarifying its causes and types, and timely handling, so as to improve the postoperative survival rate of children.

Objective:To evaluate the value of sugammadex for ultra-fast-track anesthesia in pediatric patients undergoing surgery for correction of congenital heart disease.Methods:Forty pediatric patients of both sexes, aged 1-6 yr, with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ, scheduled for elective surgery for correction of congenital heart disease, were enrolled in this study and randomly assigned into sugammadex group (group S) and control group (group C) with a random number table.Sugammadex 4.0 mg/kg was injected intravenously to reverse neuromuscular relaxation in group S and the equal volume of normal saline was administrated in group C when the train-of-four (TOF) count was 0 and post-tetanic count was 1 or 2 during recovery from anesthesia.The recovery time of TOF ratio to 25%, 75% and 90%, the extubation time and the success rate of ultra-fast-track anesthesia were recorded.Results:Compared to group C, sugammadex significantly shortened the recovery time of TOF ratio to 25%, 75% and 90% and the extubation time in group S ( P<0.05); Furthermore, the success rate of ultra-fast-track anesthesia reached 100% in group S compared to 0% in group C. Conclusion:Intravenous administration of sugammadex 4.0 mg/kg significantly shortens the recovery time of neuromuscular relaxation and extubation time and enhances the success rate of ultra-fast-track anesthesia in pediatric patients undergoing surgical correction of congenital heart disease.

Objective    To study the safety of right vertical infra-axillary thoracotomy (RVIAT) in the repair of ventricular septal defect (VSD) and the optimal age for RVIAT. Methods    Between June 2014 and June 2018, 441 children underwent VSD repair via RVIAT in our hospital. According to the age, they were divided into four groups: a 4 months to 1 year old group (R1 group, n=123), a 1-2 years old group (R2 group, n=106), a 2-5 years old group (R3 group, n=166), a >5 years old group (R4 group, n=46). The clinical effects of the patients were compared. Results    All the operations were successfully performed and no serious complication was found in all groups. No statistical difference was observed in the operation time, blood loss during operation, thoracic drainage 24 h after operation among groups (P>0.05). The cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross-blocking time and ICU stay time in the R1 and R2 groups were longer than those in the R3 and R4 groups (P<0.05). In the R1 group, the postoperative ventilating time and postoperative hospital stay time were longer, and the blood transfusion volume was more than those in the R3 and R4 groups (P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications was higher in the R4 group than that in the R1 and R3 groups (P<0.05). Conclusion    VSD repair via RVIAT may be more effective in children >2 years old, and 2-5 years old may be the optimal age.

Objective: In view of the difficulty of the shortage of new coronavirus nucleal acid test in the early COVID-19 outbreak, to explore the application value of chest CT in screening COVID-19 patients. Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed on the data of patients with fever who received chest CT and new coronavirus nucleal acid test during January 25, 2020 to February 2, 2020 in Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University. A total of 587 patients were enrolled, including 290 males and 297 females, aged from 11.0 to 96.0 (51.3±17.1) years old. Take the nucleic acid test results as the gold standard, the sensitivity, specificity and rate of missed diagnosis of CT screening COVID-19 were calculated. Results: Among the 587 patients, there were 433 positive cases (73.8%, 433/587) and 154 negative cases (26.2%, 154/587) of novel coronavirus nucleic acid test. Using CT screening, 494 cases (84.2%, 494/587) were positive and 93 cases (15.8%, 93/587) were negative. The sensitivity of CT screening COVID-19 was 97.7% (423/433), specificity was 53.9% (83/154) and rate of missed diagnosis was 2.3% (10/433). Conclusions In the early COVID-19 outbreak, CT screening has the advantages of high sensitivity and low rate of missed diagnosis of COVID-19, which can compensate for the shortage of new coronavirus nucleal acid test and can be used as the basis for rapid screening for early prevention and control of COVID-19 outbreak.
