Objective:To analyze the effects of different courses of hyperbaric oxygen combined with sertraline on sleep disorders and serum neurologic injury factors in patients after cerebral hemorrhage.Methods:A total of 120 patients with sleep disorders after cerebral hemorrhage were divided into control group ( n=60) and observation group ( n=60) by random number table method. The control group was treated with sertraline only, while the observation group was treated with hyperbaric oxygen on the basis of the treatment in the control group. The sleep quality, clinical efficacy, the levels of serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) before and 10, 20, and 30 d after treatment were compared between the two groups. Results:The scores of Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group at every time point of treatment ( P<0.05); the total sleep time, total deep sleep time, total light sleep time, and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep time of the observation group were significantly longer than those of the control group ( P<0.05); and the sleep latency of the observation group was significantly shorter than that of the control group ( P<0.05). With the prolongation of the treatment course, the PSQI scores of both groups showed decreasing trends ( P<0.05); the total sleep time, total deep sleep time, total light sleep time, and REM sleep time of both groups tended to prolong ( P<0.05); and the sleep latency tended to be shorter ( P<0.05). The total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group at 10, 20, and 30 d after treatment ( P<0.05). With the prolongation of the treatment course, the total effective rates of the two groups showed increasing trends ( P<0.05); the levels of serum NSE, ICAM-1, and TNF-α in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group at every time point of treatment ( P<0.05); and with the prolongation of the treatment course, the above indicators of the two groups showed decreasing trends ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Hyperbaric oxygen therapy combined with sertraline can improve the sleep quality and clinical efficacy of patients after cerebral hemorrhage with sleep disorders.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of pertussis in infants and children with persistent cough in Beijing during 2011-2016.Methods The eligible infants and children from over ten hospitals who were suspected to have pertussis from 2011 to 2016 were enrolled for detection.Nasopharyngeal secretions and blood samples were collected.Multiplex-PCR was performed for Bordetella pertussis and real-time PCR was performed for nucleic acid of Bordetella pertussis.Results A total of 1 318 eligible cases were enrolled,including 820 males and 498 females.Pertussis was detected positive in 534 cases,including 81.3％ (434/534) of B.pertussis positive cases and 31.8％ (170/534) of IgG positive cases.There were 13.1 ％ (70/534) had double positive for bacteria and antibodies.From 2011 to 2016,the enrolled patients were increased from 103 cases per year to 460 cases per year,and the test positive patients were increased from 29 cases to 194 cases.Among the pertussis patients,466 (87.3 ％) cases were younger than one year old.From the first quarter to the fourth quarter of the year,There were 65 cases,151 cases,205 cases,and 113 cases,respectively.In further analysis of the 268 cases from Children's Hospital affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics,90.7％ of the patients who had whooping cough were scattered children;185 cases (69.0％) of the patients had not begun programmed immunization,71 cases (26.5％) did not complete programmed immunization and 12 cases (4.5％)completed the programmed immunization.Of all the inpatients,21.6％ were critical ill,0.8％ (2 cases) dead,and the remaining patients were recovered and discharged.Conclusions The prevalence of pertussis is increasing,especially in summer.Infants are the most susceptible population.Bordetella pertussis is one of the most important pathogen that can induce persistent and chronic cough.

Objective To study the epidemiological and clinical characteristics ofpertussis in infants younger than three months.Methods Infants younger than three months were enrolled from January 1,2011 to December 31,2015 with one or more of the following symptoms:persistent cough,spasmic cough,cyanosis of unknown causes,asphyxia and apnea.Multiplex polymerase chain reaction(PCR) assay was performed to identify Bordetella pertussis and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect antibody to pertussis toxin.Clinical features,complications,treatments and prognosis of the infants confirmed with pertussis were analyzed.Results Altogether 202 cases were enrolled in the five years,and 59 (29.2％) of which were positive for pertussis confirmed by multiplex PCR.Among the 59 cases,37 were boys and 22 were girls.The youngest baby was 13 days and the oldest one was 85 days.Length of stay ranged from 7 to 21 days.Twelve cases had a contact history with family members having chronic cough.Symptoms occurred in spring or summer in 46 cases (78.0％),and in autumn or winter in 13 (22.0％) cases.Symptoms of spasmic cough,cyanosis after coughing,vomiting after coughing and conjunctival hemorrhage were respectively found in 41 (69.5％),36 (61.0％),39 (66.1％)and 33 (55.9％) cases,while only six (10.2％) presented with inspiratory whooping sound on coughing.Fortynine cases (83.1％) showed increased lymphocyte count (≥ 10 × 109/L).Twenty-eight cases (47.5％) developed severe pertussis.Complications including apnea and bradycardia after coughing,respiratory failure and heart failure,pertussis encephalopathy as well as highly increased leucocyte count (≥ 60× 109/L) occurred in 23 (39.0％),18 (30.5％),five (8.5％) and four (6.8％) cases,respectively.Twenty-four cases with severe pertussis required respiratory support,of which six received invasive ventilation and 18 received non-invasive ventilation.Fifty-eight infants were recovered and discharged,while one baby died.Conclusions Bordetella pertussis infection is an important cause of persistent cough in unimmunized infants under three months of age.The symptoms of pertussis in infants are untypical,but the incidence of severe pertussis is high.Thus early diagnosis and timely treatment are necessary.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of influenza virus infections in infants and young children during the pandemic period of 2009 influenza A(H1N1)in Beijing.Methods Throat swabs were collected from children visited the affiliated Children's Hospital to Capital Institute of Pediatrics for influenza-like illness from June 1,2009 to February 28,2010.The specific gene segments of 2009 pandemic influenza H1N1 and seasonal influenza viruses were amplified from samples by real-time RT-PCR recommended by WHO and National Influenza Reference Center of China.Results Out of 4363 clinical samples tested by real-time RT-PCR,the total positive rate of influenza A viruses was 29.3%,including 623(14.3%)identified as 2009 pandemic influenza A(H1N1)and 657(15.1%)influenza A viruses without subtype identity.Among those pandemic influenza H1N1 positive,23 were severe cases with 5 deaths.The ages for 618 pandemic influenza H1N1 infected children with completed information were from 14 days to 16 years.The ratio of male to female wag 1.3:1.Among them,25.2% were patients in age group of 1 to 3 years old and distribution of children in age groups of 3 to 6 years old and 6 to 12 years old were similar(about 30.0%).During the survey period,it appeared only one prevalence wave of pandemic influenza H1N1.The positive rate of pandemic H1N1 increased in September and the peak(36.5%of positive rate)was in November and then declined to 2.7%in February 2010.The data from routine influenza virus surveillance from 20-30 clinical samples collected each week indicated an alternative prevalence of seasonal H3N2,pandemic H1N1 and influenza B during this study period.Respiratory syncytial virus(RSV)became predominant in children after the circulating of pandemic H1N1.Conclusion There was an epidemic of pandemic influenza H1N1 in children in Beijing from June 2009 to February 2010,especially in those of preschool and school aged children.Seasonal influenza viruses and pandemic influenza H1N1 were contributed alternatively.
