Objective:With the help of SWOT(S: internal strengths, W: internal weaknesses, O: external opportunities, T: external threats)analysis, to explore the internal and external conditions of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy applied to improve the negative emotions of patients with coronary heart disease, and to propose development strategies.Methods:SWOT analysis was used to analyze and sort out the internal strengths and internal weaknesses, external opportunities and external threats of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy in improving the negative emotions of patients with coronary heart disease.Results:The internal strengths of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy in improving the negative emotions of patients with coronary heart disease were significant therapeutic effect, strong operability and high cost-effectiveness. The internal weaknesses included excessive dependence on patients′ treatment enthusiasm, and a lack of psychological training among nurses. The external opportunities included demand support, technical support, and theoretical support. The external threats were the lack of large-scale empirical research and the risk of patient personal information leakage.Conclusions:In the clinical application of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy to improve the negative emotions of patients with coronary heart disease, both strengths and weaknesses coexist, and opportunities and threats coexist. Only by taking strengths of opportunities to overcome weaknesses, improve the autonomy and enthusiasm of patients in treatment, and increase the psychological training of medical staff, can internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy be further promoted in the clinical application of improving the negative emotions of patients with coronary heart disease.

OBJECTIVES: The long-term trends of cognitive function and its associations with physical performance remain unclear, particularly in Asian populations. The study objectives were to determine cognitive trajectories in middle-aged and elderly Chinese individuals, as well as to examine differences in physical performance across cognitive trajectory groups. METHODS: Data were extracted from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. A total of 5,701 participants (47.7% male) with a mean age of 57.8 (standard deviation, 8.4) years at enrollment were included. A group-based trajectory model was used to identify cognitive trajectory groups for each sex. Grip strength, repeated chair stand, and standing balance tests were used to evaluate physical performance. An ordered logistic regression model was employed to analyze differences in physical performance across cognitive trajectory groups. RESULTS: Three cognitive trajectory groups were identified for each sex: low, middle, and high. For both sexes, higher cognitive trajectory groups exhibited smaller declines with age. In the fully adjusted model, relative to the low trajectory group, the odds ratios (ORs) of better physical performance in the middle cognitive group were 1.37 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.17 to 1.59; p<0.001) during follow-up and 1.40 (95% CI, 1.20 to 1.64; p<0.001) at the endpoint. The ORs in the high trajectory group were 1.94 (95% CI, 1.61 to 2.32; p<0.001) during follow-up and 2.04 (95% CI, 1.69 to 2.45; p<0.001) at the endpoint. CONCLUSIONS Cognitive function was better preserved in male participants and individuals with higher baseline cognitive function. A higher cognitive trajectory was associated with better physical performance over time.

Objective: To analyze the clinical features of perianal condyloma acuminatum in HIV infected men who have sex with men (MSM) and assess the effects of combined treatment of microwave and photodynamic therapy. Methods: Clinical and laboratory data of 260 male patients with perianal condyloma acuminatum were collected and microwave combined with photodynamic therapy was applied on them. Results: The majority of the patients with perianal condyloma acuminatum were young people (243/260). Warts were mainly located in the anus or from the outside to inside of the anus (245/260). Among them, the proportion of warts position of extraanal in HIV-infected group (8/220) was lower than that of non-HIV-infected group (7/40). HPV types 11 (70/118), 6 (44/118) and 16 (40/118) were the most common types of HPV infection. People with HIV infection were more likely to develop high-risk, mixed types HPV infection and multiple HPV infection than those without HIV infection. More than half of the patients (146/260) needed only 1-3 sessions of photodynamic treatments. There was no significant difference in the times of photodynamic treatments and the numbers of photosensitizers required between the HIV-infected and non-HIV-infected groups. The recurrence rate of HIV-infected group (13.6%, 30/220) was also similar to that of non-HIV-infected group (15.0%, 6/40), but far lower than those who underwent microwave therapy alone (45%, 18/40). Conclusions The combination therapy significantly reduced the recurrence rate of perianal condyloma acuminatum in HIV infected MSM.

Background As the main cellular constituent of corneal epithelium,corneal epithelial cells play critical roles in regulating and controlling the migration, proliferation and differentiation of cells during the repair of damage.MicroRNA (miRNA) is endogenously expressed small non-coding RNAs, which participates in a variety of biological processes.Previous studies demonstrated that miR-204 is highly expressed in normal corneal epithelium,but its function is still unclear.Objective This study was to investigate the function and mechanism of miR-204 in corneal epithelial cell proliferation.Methods Corneal epithelial tissue was collected during the corneal refractive surgery from the patients with refractive error under the informed consent, and human corneal epithelial cells(HCECs) were cultured and passaged.The relative expressing levels of miR-204 mRNA in the normal corneal epithelium and HCECs were detected by real time quantitative PCR.Cultured HCECs were evenly divided into three groups.The liposome with miR-204 mimic was transfected into the cells of the miR-204 mimic group, and blank liposome was transfected in the cells of the positive control group,and regularly cultured cells served as the normal control group.Cell proliferation capability was evaluated by colony-forming assay, and the percentage of the cells in different cell cycles was analyzed by flow cytometry.Western blot assay was employed to detect the expression levels of p-RB, E2F1 ,p27,CyclinA, CDC2, p-CDC2 and CDK2 proteins in the cells.Results The relative expression levels of miR-204 mRNA were 1.077 ±0.268 in the normal corneal epithelium and 0.041 ±0.018 in the HCECs, showing a significant difference between them (t =7.700,P＜0.001).The cloning cell number was evidently decreased in the miR-204 mimic group in comparison with the positive control group and normal control group.The percentage of cells in the G1 phase was 47.75％ in the miR-204 mimic group, which was significantly higher than 37.23％ in the positive control group and 40.72％ in the normal control group.The expression levels of E2F1 and p27 proteins in the cells were elevated (t=14.87,25.11;both at P＜0.01) and those of CDK2 and p-CDC2 proteins were decreased (t=5.39,10.65;both at P＜0.01) in the miR-204 mimic group in comparison with the positive control group.Conclusions The overexpression of miR-204 in the normal corneas probably is associated with non-proliferation status of corneal epithelial cells.Transfection of miR-204 into corneal epithelial cells can inhibit the proliferation of corneal epithelial cells probably by up-regulating the expression of E2F1 and p27 and suppressing the expression of CDK2/CyclinA and p-CDC2/CyclinA,which lead to cell arrest in G1 phase.

OBJECTIVESevere Epstein-Barr (EB) virus infection is potentially a devastating process that often leads to death encountered in pediatrics recently. Inappropriate control of EB virus replication may cause severe infection resulting in multiple organ dysfunction. However, little information is available on pulmonary complications associated with EB virus infection. The aim of the present study was to investigate severe EB virus (EBV) infection complicated with lung injury in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), including clinical characteristics, laboratory or imaging feature and outcomes.

METHODA total of 45 children with severe EBV infection seen in PICU of Shanghai Children's Hospital between January 2011 and December 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. According to clinical characteristics and imaging feature, 45 children were divided into non-lung injury group (n =27), lung injury without pulmonary fibrosis group(n = 12) and pulmonary fibrosis group (n = 6).

RESULTIn totally 45 cases of severe EBV infection, 21 (46.7%) were male and 24 (53. 3%) were female, mean age was 2. 4 years; 18 cases were complicated with lung injury, including 8 male and 10 female, median age was 31. 2 months. All of 18 cases presented with fever and cough, 15 of them exhibited dyspnea,12 cases were complicated with gasping, and 6 cases with ARDS. Eight cases accepted mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory distress; 6 cases who developed pulmonary fibrosis had tachypnea, refractory hypoxemia and hypercapnia, severe pulmonary air leak. The average EBV-DNA level in peripheral blood was 4. 42 x 10(6) copies/ml (range: 3. 25 x 10(3) - 6.59 x 10(7) copies/ml). Anti-EBV antibodies were positive in 41 cases, 18 cases were positive (+) for VCA-IgM, 15 cases were VCA-IgG and EA-IgG (+), 8 cases VCA-IgM and VCA-IgG (+). The radiographic findings revealed pulmonary interstitial infiltrates in all 18 cases with lung injury, 4 cases with segmental consolidation and 2 cases showed pleural effusions. HRCT scanning found EBV associated fibrosis including multifocal patches and diffuse ground-glass attenuation in both lungs, reticular opacities and honeycombing changes were observed 4 weeks after illness onset. There were significant differences in respiratory failure, PICU stay (days), Pediatric risk of mortality III (PRISM III) and pediatric clinical illness score(PCIS), serum TNF-α, EBV-DNA levels, percentage of NK cells and CD4+/CD8+ T cell ratio among non-lung injury group, lung injury without pulmonary fibrosis group and pulmonary fibrosis group (X2 =27. 12, F = 85. 23, 78. 23, 88. 68, 323. 80, 7. 35, χ2 = 6. 71, 12. 15; all P < 0. 05). COX regression analysis revealed that EBV-DNA and serum TNF-α levels were correlated with pulmonary fibrosis significantly (OR = 3. 92, P = 0. 04; OR = 5. 95, P = 0. 01). The patients with EBV-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (EBV-HLH) had higher incidence of pulmonary fibrosis compared with non-EB-HLH (70% vs. 13%, χ2 = 4. 82, P = 0. 03). Of 18 cases, 8 cases died, including 3 cases with pulmonary fibrosis. The surviving cases with pulmonary fibrosis needed longer additional oxygen. Chest HRCT imaging of 3 cases with pulmonary fibrosis was improved at 6 months and oxygen therapy was discontinued at 18 months after discharge.

CONCLUSIONEB virus infection complicated with lung injury had higher incidence of respiratory failure, pulmonary fibrosis with a fatal outcome. EBV-DNA and serum TNF-α level were found to be statistically significant indicators of pulmonary fibrosis. Pulmonary fibrosis associated with severe EB virus infection may be reversible.

Objective To evaluate the value of noninvasive monitoring of pulmonary arterial pressure in the children with severe pneumonia and respiratory failure.Methods A prospective study was adopted to investigate 69 patients who suffered from severe pneumonia and respiratory failure in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit in Shanghai Children's Hospital from June 2013 to December 2013 were involved in this study,except for heart disease.The pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) and cardiac function were monitored by using bedside color doppler ultrasound cardiogram,such as PAP,cardiac index (CI),left ventricle ejection fraction(LEFT),and heart early diastolic filling velocity maximum/heart late diastolic filling velocity maximum (E/A ratio).They were divided into 2 groups according to PAP,one group as pulmonary arterial pressure normal group,the other group as pulmonary arterial hypertension(PAH) group,and the impact of the PAP on the prognosis and mechanical ventilation was assessed.Milrinone[0.5 μg/(kg · min)] were given the patients who were combined with pulmonary hypertension,and the PAP and cardiac function before using Milrinone and 24 h,48 h and 72 h after giving medicine was observed.Results Among 69 cases,40 cases were male and 29 cases were female,age ranging from 2 months to 12 years old,and the weight range was (14.3 ± 8.9) kg.The pediatric critical illness score(PICS) was 70.5 ± 9.6,and the pediatric risk of score m ortality Ⅲ was 13.5 ± 5.0.Among 69 cases,46 cases had pulmonary arterial hypertension,38 cases of them experienced mechanical ventilation,and 9 cases died.Among 23 cases who had no pulmonary arterial hypertension,only 8 cases experienced mechanical ventilation.There was a significant difference in the mechanical ventilation rate and mortality between two groups(x2 =15.78,P ＜0.0l ; x2 =5.18,P ＜ 0.05).The mechanical ventilation time was longer in pulmonary arterial hypertension group (t =3.89,P ＜0.01).PAP was (58.23 ±5.44) mmHg(1 mmHg =0.133 kPa),(49.10 ±4.69) mmHg,(42.53 ±4.54)mmHg and(35.63 ±4.78) mmHg respectively before and after using Milrinone 24 h,48 h and 72 h in 46 cases with pulmonary arterial hypertension,and the pressure decreased significantly after using medicine (F =67.11,P ＜ 0.01).There was no significant difference in CI,LVEF and E/A(all P ＞0.05).However,9 cases of them did not show any response to Milrinone,and in the end they couldn't live without mechanical ventilation,they died.Conclusions Noninvasive pulmonary arterial pressure monitoring could be beneficial in judging patient's condition and assessing prognosis of children with severe pneumonia and respiratory failure,and milrinone could decrease PAP.

OBJECTIVETo assess the value of central venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference [ P( cv-a) CO₂] in evaluation of disease severity and prognosis in children with septic shock who already had central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO₂) higher than 70% after early resuscitation.

METHODIn this prospective study, 48 septic shock children seen in Shanghai Children's Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University were enrolled from Jun 2012 to May 2014. 36(75.0%) were male, 12 (25.0%) were female, the average age was (31.9 ± 24.5) months. The critically ill patients with septic shock were treated to achieve ScvO₂greater than 70% depending on early goal-directed therapy (EGDT). All patients were divided into two groups, based on P(cv-a)CO₂, low P(cv-a)CO₂group with P(cv-a)CO₂< 6 mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) and high P(cv-a)CO₂group with P(cv-a)CO₂≥ 6 mmHg. The parameters of hemodynamics including mean blood pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), central venous pressure (CVP), perfusion-related parameters [ScvO₂, P(cv-a)CO₂, serum lactate (Lac), Lac clearance rate], pediatric critical illness score, PRISMIII score, and 28 days in-hospital mortality were recorded for all patients.

RESULTOf the 48 cases with septic shock whose ScvO₂was higher than 70%, 17 patients (35.4%) had high P(cv-a)CO₂( ≥ 6 mmHg) and 31 (65.6%) had lower P(cv-a)CO₂(<6 mmHg). There were no significant differences between the 2 groups of patients in age, PRISMIII score and PCIS (P > 0.05 ), but Lac and P(cv-a)CO₂values were significantly different ( P < 0.05). Low P(cv-a) CO₂group patients had lower 28 days mortality than high P(cv-a) CO₂group[11/17 vs. 32.3% (10/31), P < 0.05]; 24 h after resuscitation, compared with high P(cv-a) CO₂group, low P(cv-a) CO₂group patients had lower Lac values [(2.0 ± 1.3) vs.( 2.7 ± 1.2) mmol/L, P < 0.05]. Low P(cv-a) CO₂group patients had shorter duration of vasoactive drugs use [(16 ± 14) vs. (44 ± 21)h, P < 0.05], 24 h Lac clearance rate was significantly higher for low P(cv-a) CO₂group than for high P(cv-a) CO₂group[ (31 ± 10) % vs. (26 ± 6)%, P < 0.05].

CONCLUSIONWhen ScvO₂> 70% was achieved after early resuscitation in septic shock children, P(cv-a) CO₂is a sensitive biomarker to assess tissue perfusion, and high P(cv-a) CO₂group patients had poor outcome.
