Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of mitral valve repair technique in the treatment of rheumatic mitral valve lesions. Methods The clinical data of patients diagnosed with rheumatic mitral valve lesions and undergoing mitral valve repair under extracorporeal circulation in our department from 2021 to 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Results A total of 100 patients were collected, including 78 females and 22 males with an average age of 52 years. There were no secondary open heart or death in the whole group. Extracorporeal circulation time was 136.3±33.1 min, aortic cross-clamping time was 107.6±27.5 min, ventilator use time was 12.9±5.9 h, ICU stay was 2.6±1.4 d, and vasoactive medication use was 823.4±584.4 mg. Before and after the surgery, there were statistical differences in the left ventricular end diastolic diameter, left atrial end systolic diameter, effective mitral valve orifice area, shortening rate of left ventricular short axis, mitral E-peak blood flow velocity, mean mitral transvalvular pressure difference, mitral pressure half-time, and cardiac function graded by New York Heart Association (P＜0.05). While there was no statistical difference in left ventricular ejection fraction or left ventricular end-diastolic volume (P>0.05). Conclusion Overall repair of rheumatic mitral valve lesions can significantly improve the cardiac function and hemodynamics of the patients, and is a good choice for patients with rheumatic mitral valve lesions.

Objective:To analyze the factors affecting delayed chemotherapy in children with Burkitt lymphoma (BL) and their influence on prognosis.Methods:Retrospective cohort study. Clinical data of 591 children aged ≤18 years with BL from May 2017 to December 2022 in China Net Childhood Lymphoma (CNCL) was collected. The patients were treated according to the protocol CNCL-BL-2017. According to the clinical characteristics, therapeutic regimen was divided into group A, group B and group C .Based on whether the total chemotherapy time was delayed, patients were divided into two groups: the delayed chemotherapy group and the non-delayed chemotherapy group. Based on the total delayed time of chemotherapy, patients in group C were divided into non-delayed chemotherapy group, 1-7 days delayed group and more than 7 days delayed group. Relationships between delayed chemotherapy and gender, age, tumor lysis syndrome before chemotherapy, bone marrow involvement, disease group (B/C group), serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) > 4 times than normal, grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ myelosuppression after chemotherapy, minimal residual disease in the interim assessment, and severe infection (including severe pneumonia, sepsis, meningitis, chickenpox, etc.) were analyzed. Logistic analysis was used to identify the relevant factors. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the patients' survival information. Log-Rank was used for comparison between groups.Results:Among 591 patients, 504 were males and 87 were females, the follow-up time was 34.8 (18.6,50.1) months. The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate was (92.5±1.1)%,and the 3-year event-free survival (EFS) rate was (90.5±1.2)%. Seventy-three (12.4%) patients were in delayed chemotherapy group and 518 (87.6%) patients were in non-delayed chemotherapy group. The reasons for chemotherapy delay included 72 cases (98.6%) of severe infection, 65 cases (89.0%) of bone marrow suppression, 35 cases (47.9%) of organ dysfunction, 22 cases (30.1%) of tumor lysis syndrome,etc. There were 7 cases of chemotherapy delay in group B, which were seen in COPADM (vincristine+cyclophosphamide+prednisone+daunorubicin+methotrexate+intrathecal injection,4 cases) and CYM (methotrexate+cytarabine+intrathecal injection,3 cases) stages. There were 66 cases of chemotherapy delay in group C, which were common in COPADM (28 cases) and CYVE 1 (low dose cytarabine+high dose cytarabine+etoposide+methotrexate, 12 cases) stages. Multinomial Logistic regression analysis showed that the age over 10 years old ( OR=0.54,95% CI 0.30-0.93), tumor lysis syndrome before chemotherapy ( OR=0.48,95% CI 0.27-0.84) and grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ myelosuppression after chemotherapy ( OR=0.55,95% CI 0.33-0.91)were independent risk factors for chemotherapy delay.The 3-year OS rate and the 3-year EFS rate of children with Burkitt lymphoma in the delayed chemotherapy group were lower than those in the non-delayed chemotherapy group ((79.4±4.9)% vs. (94.2±1.1)%, (80.2±4.8)% vs. (92.0±1.2)%,both P<0.05). The 3-year OS rate of the group C with chemotherapy delay >7 days (42 cases) was lower than that of the group with chemotherapy delay of 1-7 days (22 cases) and the non-delay group (399 cases) ((76.7±6.9)% vs. (81.8±8.2)% vs. (92.7±1.3)%, P=0.002).The 3-year OS rate of the chemotherapy delay group (9 cases) in the COP (vincristine+cyclophosphamide+prednisone) phase was lower than that of the non-chemotherapy delay group (454 cases) ((66.7±15.7)% vs. (91.3±1.4)%, P=0.005). Similarly, the 3-year OS rate of the chemotherapy delay group (11 cases) in the COPADM1 phase was lower than that of the non-chemotherapy delay group (452 cases) ((63.6±14.5)% vs. (91.5±1.3)%, P=0.001). Conclusions:The delayed chemotherapy was related to the age over 10 years old, tumor lysis syndrome before chemotherapy and grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ myelosuppression after chemotherapy in pediatric BL. There is a significant relationship between delayed chemotherapy and prognosis of BL in children.

Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of rotavirus in children under 5 years old in China (excluding China Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan data, the same below) from 2005 to 2018. Method: Data on other infectious diarrhea in the country from 2005 to 2018 were downloaded from the National Notifiable Disease Report System was to build a database for report cases of rotavirus diarrhea in children under 5 years of age, and descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the data. Result: In 2005-2018, a total of 820 588 cases of rotavirus infection in children under 5 years old were reported nationwide, with male 500 944 cases, and with an average annual incidence of 63.7/100 000. The reported incidence showed a fluctuating upward trend increased from 8.4/100 000 to 178.1/100 000. The number of reporting provinces increased from 17 to 30. The reported incidence showed a peak of season from November to following February. The reported cases of rotavirus diarrhea in children under 5 months of age was 13.1%(107 845 cases), and the high-incidence age ranged from 6 months to 2 years old, accounting for 70.3% (576 874 cases), with a peak of 11-13 months (163 947 cases). The top three provinces (cities) reporting the incidence rate were Zhejiang (535.2/100 000), Guangdong (334.3/100 000) and Beijing (317.3/100 000), the provinces with the low reported case rates were Shanxi (0.9/100 000), Heilongjiang (1.6/100 000) and Liaoning (2.5/100 000), but there was no case reported in Tibet; The report cases of south region (745 526 cases) were 9.9 times north region (74 935 cases).The cases of rotavirus infection and other diarrhea pathogens were detected simultaneously accounted for 1.8% (15 030 cases) and mainly were positive for rotavirus and adenovirus (90.1%, 13 544 cases). Conclusion The rate of rotavirus infection in children has increased rapidly since the age of 6 months, and 84.4% of the reported cases were infants before the age of 2 years.

Objective: To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of norovirus clustering and outbreaks in schools and kindergartens in China, so as to provide references for prevention and control of outbreaks. Methods: A descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze outbreaks of Norovirus in schools and kindergartens in China during 2014-2018 , the indicators which was analyzed and compared including attack rate, duration of the outbreak, reporting interval. Results: A total of 832 Norovirus outbreaks were reported by schools and kindergartens in China from 2014 to 2018. The total number of outbreaks showed an upward trend with an average annual growth rate of 58%. The number of reported cases was 40 445 but there was no death. Norovirus outbreaks mainly occurred in primary schools (42%), followed by kindergartens and middle schools (both 24%), university (6%) and 77 outbreaks (4%) were reported in universities and other schools. The peak seasons were March to May, November and December each year. Jiangsu Province and Guangdong Province (both 22%) reported the largest number of outbreaks. The main transmission of norovirus outbreaks was through direct person contact (72%), foodborne (4%) and waterborne (3%) caused fewer outbreaks than direct person contact. The duration of the epidemic was positively correlated with the reporting interval (r=0.63, P<0.05) and the number of cases per outbreak (r=0.51, P<0.05). Conclusion Disinfection treatment of vomitus should be standardized in schools and kindergartens. Timely detection, reporting, disposal of the epidemic can effectively control the spread of norovirus outbreaks.

Objective To assess the association between-426C＞T,-384A＞G,+ 67G＞A polymorphisms in Eotaxin gene and cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) in infants.Methods One hundred and six patients with CMPA who were hospitalized at Children's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from July 2014 to July 2015 were selected as CMPA group,and 124 healthy infants chosen from Ninghai Road Community Health Service Centers at the same time were selected as healthy control group,and the serum levels of Eotaxin in 2 groups were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA direct sequencing technology were used to detect the genotypes for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of-426C ＞ T,-384A ＞ G,and + 67G ＞ A in Eotaxin gene.The association between the SNPs of-426C ＞ T,-384A ＞ G,and + 67G ＞ A in Eotaxin gene and CMPA,the peripheral blood eosinophil counts,serum Eotaxin levels,and serum total immunoglobulin E levels were analyzed.Results For-426C ＞ T,the frequency of each genotype of the CMPA group was CC,CT,TF (79.25％,19.81％,0.94％),while the frequency of each genotype of the healthy control group was CC,CT,TT(88.71％,8.06％,3.23％).There was a significant difference in the genotype frequency in-426C ＞ T between the CMPA group and the healthy control group (x2 =7.83,P ＜ 0.05).The individuals with heterozygous genotype(CT) had a 1.75-fold increased risk of developing CMPA compared with the individuals with wild-type genotype (CC) [odds ratio (OR) =2.75,95％ confidence interval(CI):1.23-6.15,P ＜ 0.05].For position + 67G ＞ A,CMPA patients with a genotype including variant nucleotide had lower peripheral blood eosinophil counts [(0.48 ± 0.06) × 109/L] and serum Eotaxin levels [(157.67 ± 12.72) ng/L] than those with wild-type genotype [(0.85 ± 0.09) × 109/L,(286.96 ± 33.23) ng/L] (F =10.30,5.75,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Polymorphism of the Eotaxin gene (-426C ＞ T) was associated with the susceptibility to CMPA.Polymorphism of the Eotaxin gene(+ 67G ＞ A) was related to the blood eosinophil counts and the serum Eotaxin levels in children with CMPA.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of family-centered educational intervention on disease-related knowledge, health behavior and subsequent visit compliance among children with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods From October 2014 to June 2015, a total of 62 children with SLE from a class Ⅲ grade A hospital of Beijing were selected as the research object by convenient sampling method. They were divided into control group with 32 cases and observation group with 30 cases in chronological sequence. No children were withdrawn from the observation group, and 2 cases in the control group had not been followed up for 3 months after discharge. A total of 60 children had completed the study for 6 months. Children in the intervention group were given family-centered educational intervention, while children in the control group were given conventional treatment and nursing in ward. We assessed their disease-related knowledge and health behaviors before the intervention, 3 months after discharge, and 6 months after discharge, and evaluated their subsequent visit compliance before the intervention and 6 months after discharge. Results The disease-related knowledge level of children in intervention group was significantly higher than that of children in control group at 3 and 6 months after discharge (F=4.513, 5.412;P<0.001);For the health behavior, there was no significant difference between two groups of children at 3 months after discharge (F=1.948,P=0.057), but at 6 months after discharge, the intervention group was higher than the control group (F=3.399,P=0.001); There was a significant difference in the compliance of the two groups of children in the 6 months after discharge (χ2=6.667,P=0.021). Conclusions Family-centered educational intervention can rapidly improve the level of disease-related knowledge in children with systemic lupus erythematosus. It can improve children's health behavior and improve their subsequent visit compliance.

Objective To explore the medical compliance behavior among systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) children so as to provide a basis for implementing targeted nursing intervention. Methods From November 2015 to October 2017, we selected 124 SLE children of Department of Pediatrics of Peking Union Medical College Hospital as subjects in by convenience sampling. The self-designed SLE Children Medical Compliance Behavior Questionnaire was used to the investigation. A total of 124 questionnaires were sent out and 116 valid questionnaires were collected. Results Among 116 children, the mean of total score of medical compliance behavior was (105.91±10.62) along with the highest score (4.91±0.43) in the term of"I will not presume to reduce the dose" belong to the dimension of medication and review. Conclusions SLE children have the high level of compliance in medication and review. Health care providers should continue to carry out sunscreen, choose appropriate diet, pay attention to the details of infection prevention and develop a regular exercise habit for children along with their patients so as to improve long-term prognosis and quality of life of SLE children.

Objective To explore the clinical features and endoscopic manifestations of eosinophilic gastroente-ritis(EG)in children.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted of the clinical manifestation,laboratory examination,endoscopy(upper and/or colonoscopy)performance,diagnosis and treatment of 49 cases of patients who were diagnosed as EG in Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from July 2013 to July 2015.Results The common clinical manifestations of EG in children were hematochezia(23 cases),diarrhea(20 cases),vomiting(18 cases)and abdominal pain(15 cases).The ages of children admitted to hospital for the first time ranged from 1 month and 7 days old to 13 years and 7 months old,and the mean age was 59.4 months old,in which most patients were younger than 1 year old,accounting for 38.77％(19 cases)of all.Peripheral blood eosinophilia was present in 20 cases(40.82％)of the patients,and only 6/18 cases(33.33％)of the patients had elevated serum IgE.Upon endoscopic analysis,the lesions involved esophagus(4 cases),stomach(14 cases),duodenum(20 cases),small intestine(15 cases),colon(28 cases)and rectum(6 cases),and the most common manifestation under gastroscopy was mucosal hyperemia edema(27 cases)and erosion(9 cases),while the most common manifestation under colonoscopy was mucosal hyperemia edema(25 cases)and nodular hyperplasia(24 cases).All patients improved with food restriction,in which 8 cases were treated with glucocorticoid while 9 cases with oral Singulair and 9 cases with oral Loratadine.All children with symptoms were alleviated somewhat,but 5 cases of them relapsed after drug withdrawal.Conclusions The clinical manifestations of EG in children varied and were mainly hematochezia,vomiting,diarrhea and abdominal pain.Some patients had the elevated peripheral blood eosinophilia and serum IgE.The most common manifestations under gastroscopy were mucosal hyperemia edema and erosion while the most common manifestations under colonoscopy were mucosal hyperemia edema and nodular hyperplasia.

Objective To evaluate the effect of caffeine citrate on oxygen metabolism in brain and intestine in premature infants with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS).Methods Preterm infants aged 30-34 weeks with NRDS admitted in Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center during May 2015 and April 2016 were enrolled.They were administrated with maintainance dose of caffeine citrate at the 2nd day after birth.The oxygen metabolism in brain and intestine 1 h before,during and after the administration were recorded by near infrared spectroscopy.Results The cerebral oxygen saturation (ScO2) showed a less significant change before,during and after treatment.While a marked increase was seen in intestinal oxygen saturation (SsO2) during and after caffeine citrate administration,as well as the change of SsO2/ScO2 than before.SsO2/ScO2 was dramatical higher in infants with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) than in those with incubator oxygen supply and mechanical ventilation during and after caffeine citrate treatment than before.Conclusion Caffeine citrate may improve the delivery of oxygen and may increase the oxygenation in local tissues for preterm infants with NRDS,especially for infants with nCPAP.

Objective To investigate the psychological resilience status and its influencing factors of lung cancer patients. Methods A total of 182 patients with lung cancer were selected by convenient sampling method and were investigated the psychological resilience with Chinese Version Connor and Davidson′s resilience scale ( CD-RISC ) , the Chinese version of medical coping modes questionnaire ( MCMQ ) , and the hospital anxiety and depression Scale ( HAD) . Results The total score of resilience in 182 lung cancer patients acquired (65. 2 ± 15. 0). The total score of resilience in 82 preoperative patients was (68. 9 ± 15. 4), postoperative patients (63.5 ±13.6), chemotherapy patients (60.3 ±14.3); resilience status showed down trend (F=5.530,P<0. 05). Different educational background, marriage status, medical insurance type, treatment stage and cancer metastasis had difference of psychological resilience (P<0. 05). The average anxiety score of 182 cancer patients was (5. 72 ± 4. 52) and depression score obtained (4. 74 ± 4. 39). The correlation analysis presented that lung cancer patients′psychological resilience had negative correlation with anxiety, depression and surrender while it had positive correlation with confrontation (P <0. 05), but had no correlation with avoidance (P>0.05). Multiple regression analysis revealed treatment stages, copying strategies and depression were the main influencing factors which all explained 45. 8% of total variation. Conclusions Resilience of patients with lung cancer are at a lower level, which effected by many factors. Nursing staffs should pay attention to patients psychological status, take effective measures to help them to get higher level of psychological resilience, so as to improve quality of life.
