Objective:To investigate the changes in the white matter fiber structure of fetal brain with mild to moderate isolated ventriculomegaly (IVM) using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) model and fixed based analysis (FBA) method of diffusion MRI (dMRI).Methods:This was a case-control study. Twenty fetuses diagnosed with mild to moderate IVM who were admitted to the Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University from August 2022 to August 2023 were included prospectively as the IVM group, with gestational age ranging from 24 to 36 (29.9±3.6) weeks. The control group included 22 normal control fetuses obtained from the dMRI atlas data of Chinese fetal brain, with gestational age ranging from 24 to 36 (30.2±3.7) weeks. The dMRI data were collected for all fetuses and the DTI model was used to obtain fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity, axial diffusivity, and radial diffusivity of 7 main fiber bundles, including the genu and splenium of the corpus callosum, middle cerebellar peduncle, bilateral cortico-spinal tract, inferior longitudinal fasciculus, inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus, and anterior thalamic radiation. The FBA method was used to obtain fiber density (FD), fiber cross-sectional area (FC), and fiber density and cross-section (FDC) of the whole brain. The comparison of DTI parameters of each fiber bundle between the two groups was conducted using independent sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test. The comparison of FBA parameters between the two groups was performed using covariance analysis, and the MRtrix3 software package was used to display the brain regions with significant differences. Results:The FA values of the inferior longitudinal fasciculus in the IVM group and the control group were 0.142±0.012 and 0.133±0.015, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.21, P=0.033), while the DTI parameters of the other fiber bundles showed no statistically significant differences ( P>0.05). The whole brain FBA results showed that compared with the control group,FD decreased while FC increased in the corpus callosum, fornix, and sagittal stratum in IVM fetuses, while FDC decreased in the cortico-spinal tract. Conclusion:There are microstructural changes of the brain white matter fiber in intrauterine fetuses with mild to moderate IVM, which are mainly located in the white matter fiber bundles surrounding the body, atrium, and temporal horn of the lateral ventricle.

Objective:To explore the application value of FilmArray detection in children with acute lower respiratory tract infection and conduct economics analysis.Methods:From December 1, 2016 to November 30, 2017, 1 380 patients were enrolled in our study.Some children(FilmArray group) were tested for respiratory pathogens with FilmArray, while others (control group) were tested by 7-box antigen test of respiratory virus, gold colloid test of influenza and mycoplasma antibody.Those with underlying diseases were excluded.A total of 160 cases in the FilmArray group and 160 cases in the control group were obtained with tendency score matching method.The physical examination of pathogens, clinical indicators, usage of anti-infective drugs and hospitalization related costs were compared.Results:The positive rate of FilmArray test was significantly higher than that in control group (86.88% vs. 45.91%). The most common pathogens detected by FilmArray were adenovirus(39 cases), rhinovirus(34 cases), and parainfluenza virus(30 cases). In the FilmArray group, nine cases were positive for botulinum pertussis, accounting for 5.6% of the total.The hospitalization time of FilmArray group was shorter than that in control group [(8.89±6.23 days vs.(11.51±14.43)days]. In FilmArray group, the antibiotics were used for a shorter time, and 18 children did not use antibiotics during hospitalization.Compared with the control group, the hospitalization cost had no significant difference in the FilmArray group, but the antibiotic cost was less, as well as hospitalization time was shorter.The average hospitalization cost saved by using the FilmArray test was nearly 2 000 yuan per person. Conclusion:The application of FilmArray detection in children with acute lower respiratory tract infection can quickly and accurately identify a various infections of virus, bacteria and atypical pathogen, which guides using anti-infective drugs more reasonably.The application of FilmArray detection shortens the average hospitalization days of children, increases the utilization efficiency of medical resources, and reduces the medical cost and indirect economic loss of children’s families, which has certain economics significance.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of acute lower respiratory tract infection in children after influenza,and to provide evidence-based basis for timely diagnosis and accurate treatment of acute lower respiratory tract infection in children after influenza. Methods Eighty- two patients with acute lower respiratory tract infection admitted to Shanghai Children′ s Medical Center from October 2016 to November 2017 were enrolled in our study. The clinical data of these patients were analyzed and influenza A or influenza B were confirmed by Filmarray platform. The clinical characteristics of patients with influenza A and influenza B,severe pneumonia and non-severe pneumonia,mechanical ventilation and non-mechanical ventilation were compared. Results The age distribution of the children ranged from 0. 13 to 15 years old, with 73 cases (89. 0% ) being younger than 5 years old. There were 47 cases of influenza A (57. 3% ) and 35 cases of influenza B (42. 7% ). The proportions of cases in spring,summer,autumn and winter were 35. 3% ,15. 9% ,15. 9% and 32. 9% ,respectively. Congenital heart disease was the most common underlying disease (28 cases,34. 1% ). Twenty-five(30. 5% ) patients were diagnosed as severe pneumonia. Oseltamivir was added on the first to eighth days of the course with median time ( IQR) 2. 0 (3. 0) days. Thirteen (15. 9% ) patients needed ventilator-assisted ventilation. There were significant differences in the incidence of influenza A and influenza B in summer (12 / 47 vs. 1 / 35,χ2 = 7. 7,P < 0. 01). Compared to non-severe pneu-monia,severe pneumonia was positively correlated with underlying diseases(17 / 25 vs. 18 / 57,χ2 = 9. 4,P <0. 01),digestive tract symptoms(10 / 25 vs. 6 / 57,χ2 = 9. 6,P < 0. 01) and high PCT level(8 / 23 vs. 8 / 56,χ2 = 3. 1,P < 0. 01),but negatively correlated with oseltamivir application[M(IQR)] [5. 0(2. 5) d vs. 2. 0 (1. 5)d,Z = - 6. 1,P < 0. 01]. There was significant difference in the proportion of influenza A/ B between ventilator group and non-ventilator group (11 / 2 vs. 36 / 33,χ2 = 4. 7,P < 0. 01). Conclusion Filmarray re-spiratory tract detection system can detect influenza virus infection quickly and accurately,providing a good basis for early diagnosis and treatment. Children under 5 years old are susceptible to influenza. Influenza in children mainly occurs in winter and spring. Influenza A mainly occurs in summer. Patients with influenza A infection,underlying diseases,digestive tract symptoms during the course of illness and elevated PCT are more likely to progress to severe illness or even use ventilator treatment. Early use of oseltamivir can improve the prognosis of the disease.

A case control study including 45 acute pancreatitis and 44 healthy volunteers was performed to investigate the association between intestinal microbial community and acute pancreatitis. High-throughput 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing was used to profile the microbiological composition of the samples. In total, 27 microbial phyla were detected and the samples of pancreatitis patients contained fewer phyla. Samples from acute pancreatitis patients contained more Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria and fewer Firmicutes and Actinobacteria than those from healthy volunteers. PCoA analyses distinguished the fecal microbial communities of acute pancreatitis patients from those of healthy volunteers. The intestinal microbes of acute pancreatitis patients are different from those of healthy volunteers. Modulation of the intestinal microbiome may serve as an alternative strategy for treating acute pancreatitis.
