Objective:This study was aimed to analyze the untargeted metabolomics of serum samples from children with mycoplasma pneumonia in a hospital in Beijing.Methods:A total of 50 children with mycoplasma pneumonia as the case group were recruited from Department of Pediatrics, China-Japan Friendship Hospital in Beijing from January 2019 to February 2020, and meanwhile 50 age-and gender-matched heathy children were selected and formed the control group. 2 ml venous fasting blood samples was collected from all children. Serum metabolites were quantified by using the untargeted ultra-high performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) technique. Unsupervised principle component analysis and (orthogonal) partial least-squares-discriminant analysis were employed to identify differential metabolites between cases and controls. MBRole software was used for pathway enrichment analysis.Results:There were 27 boys and 23 girls in the case group with an average age of (6.0±3.65) years, and the control group consisted of 28 boys and 22 girls with an average age of (6.62±2.64) years. A total of 392 different metabolites were detected. Compared with the control group, 306 metabolites were decreased and 86 increased in case group. Forty-one differential metabolites with variable important in projection (VIP) values larger than 5 and P values less than 0.05 were teased out, and they mainly concentrated on phospholipid. The levels of 38 metabolites were significantly lower in the case group, yet 4 metabolites were significantly higher than that of the control group. Metabolic enrichment analysis showed that different metabolites were related to the biosynthesis of phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan, unsaturated fatty acid, ammonia acyl tRNA and insulin signaling pathway, as well as the metabolism of ABC transporters. Conclusion:The serum untargeted metabolomics differed remarkably between children with mycoplasma pneumonia and healthy children.

Objective To investigate genotyps of Treponema pallidum (Tp) in several cities in Guangxi province. Methods A total of 300 patients with suspected early syphilis were enrolled from STD clinics in Guangxi between January 2012 and July 2016, and tissue fluid samples were collected from skin lesions. Silver staining was performed to detect Tp, and PCR to amplify the Tp polA gene for the diagnosis of early syphilis. Positive samples were subjected to PCR amplification of a 60-bp tandem repeat region within the arp gene, restriction fragment length polymorphism(RFLP)analysis of the tpr Ⅱgene after digestion with Mse Ⅰ enzyme and tp0548 genotyping. Results Finally, 215 patients were diagnosed with early syphilis, including 210(97.7%)patients positive for PCR and 105(48.8%)patients positive for silver staining, and the positive rate significantly differed between the two methods (χ2 = 103.01, P < 0.05). Among the PCR-positive samples, 190 could be genotyped by analysis of three target genes, and 17 genotypes were identified. The genotype 14d/f was predominant (45.3%, 86/190), followed by 15d/f (13.7%, 26/190), 16d/f(11.6%, 22/190), 17d/f(7.4%, 14/190), 13d/f(6.8%, 13/190), 10d/f(4.2%, 8/190), 18d/f(1.6%, 3/190), 16a/f(1.6%, 3/190), 5d/f(1.1%, 2/190), 7d/f(1.1%, 2/190), 12d/f(1.1%, 2/190), 16d/e(1.1%, 2/190), 14a/f(1.1%, 2/190), 9h/c(1.1%, 2/190), 15l/f(0.5%, 1/190), 25a/e(0.5%, 1/190), 15i/f(0.5%, 1/190). Conclusion Tp genotypes are diversified in patients with early syphilis in Guangxi, and the genotype 14 d/f is predominant.

Objective To analyze the anxiety level of parents and influencing factors in patients with phenylketonuria ( PKU) , in order to provide references for providing good psychological intervention methods for patients′parents.Methods Totally 122 parents of patients with PKU in China-Japan Frieadship hospital from March 2014 to March 2015 were selected and investigated. The anxiety level of patients and the proper influencing factors were surveyed by self-designed questionnaires and self-rating anxiety scale ( SAS ) . The influencing factors were analyzed by Logistic regression analysis. Results The results showed that the mean score of anxiety level of the PKU parents was (61.3±12.4) points, in which 66.4% were beyond 50 points, while 2. 5% was beyond 75 points. The proper influencing factors included the children′ recent clinical manifestation, parents′ understanding of disease and the social support degree. Conclusions The parents′anxiety level is significantly higher than normal people, and their anxiety level is associated with many influencing factors. So the health nursing workers should pay more attention to the parents′mental states and give necessary interventions to encourage their actively cooperation with doctors to achieve the common goals.

Objective To discuss the feasibility and effects of cemented artificial bipolar arthroplasty for senile patients with femoral intertrochanteric instable fractures. Methods From January 2004 to June 2008,46 aged cases with femoral intertrochanteric instable fractures were cured with cemented artificial bipolar arthroplasty. According to improving-classfication of Evans,there were 19 cases with type Ⅲfractures and 27 cases with type Ⅳ fractures. Results All cases were successfully operated. The surgery time was 50-90 (68.00 ±20.43) minutes. Bleeding volume was 160-600 (210.00 ±40.26) ml. The time in hospital was 16-26 (19.30 ± 4.56) days. All cases were retrospectively reviewed for 6-39 (17.10 ± 4.33)months. Three cases died of other diseases, 43 cases were graded by the system of Harris. The Harris scale was 70-94 (86.70 ±5.16) scores,and the choiceness rate was 90.7%(39/43). No dislocation,loosening,subsidence and late infection occurred in all the implants. Conclusions Cemented artificial bipolar arthroplasty has good advantages of reduced laying up period and few complications. The short-term outcome is satisfactory.

OBJECTIVE:
To assess the value of proximal gastrectomy (PG) and total gastrectomy (TG) for the treatment of cancer of cardia and fundus.
METHODS:
Publications on comparision between PG and TG in the treatment of cancer of cardia and fundus were collected, the data from the publications were matched with the PG group and the TG group respectively according to its corresponding surgical resection, and the data on postoperative complications, motality and 5-year survival rate were meta-analyzed by fixed effect model and random effect model.
RESULTS:
Thirteen reseaches on 2 219 patients were included in this study, 2 of which were randomly controlled studies. There were no significant differences in the postoperative complications (OR=1.00, 95%CI: 0.44-2.28,P>0.05) and mortality (OR=1.25, 95%CI: 0.62-2.48,P>0.05) between the PG group and the TG group, while there was significant difference in the 5-year survival rate (HR=0.87, 95%CI: 0.76-0.99,P=0.04). The 5-year survival rate in the TG group was higher than that in the PG group.
CONCLUSION
Total gastrectomy for the treatment of cancer of cardia and fundus has better long-term therapetic effect.

Clinical Medicine of China 2010;26(8):876-879
Objective To analyze the change of disease constitution of complications in preterm infants in our hospital and to provide a scientific basis for the clinical prevention and treatment in the future. Methods Two hundred and sixty-eight preterm infants were admitted in NICU of our hospital from Jan. 2004 to Dec. 2009. The constitutions of complications in preterm infants were retrospectively analysed by year. Results One hundred and ninety-seven cases had complications and the incidence of complications was 73.51% ( 197/268 ). The most common complications of preterm infants in our hospital included neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (41. 62% ,82/197), neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (39. 59% , 78/197) and neonatal aspiration syndrome (34. 01%, 67/ 197). The change of disease constitution of the complications were as follows: the disease constitution of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia always located within the first 3 diseases ( ranged from 28. 57% to 75.76% , χ2 =13. 582, P < 0. 001) ;the occurrence of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy showed upward trend( increased from 10. 71% to 56. 25% ,χ2 =7. 577,P<0. 001) ,but decreased in 2008,2009;the neonatal aspiration syndrome presented with a high but fluctuant incidence among the 6 years (ranged from 15. 15% to 56. 25% ,x2=12.002,P < 0.001) ; the neonatal hypoglycemia increased in the nearly 3 years;the incidence of neonatal asphyxia was stationary;the disease constitution of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome fluctuated up and down( ranged from 3. 57% to 20.41% ,χ2 = 4. 125,P<0. 05) ;the anemia in premature infant showed upward trend,increasing from 3.03% to 18. 37% (χ2 = 4. 332,P< 0.05 ) ; the occurrence of neonatal scleredema decreased with no statistical significance; the preterm infants suffered from infectious diseases with lower rate. Conclusions The disease constitution of the hospitalized preterm infants in our hospital in the last 6 years is mainly non-infectious diseases. The neonatal asphyxia recovery technology should be further improved. The serum bilirubin concentration should be monitored early after birth of preterm infants and intervened timely. Cranial imaging studies should be performed timely for early detection of brain injury.
