Objective:To summarize and analyze the clinical characteristics of hyperuricemia in adolescents, and improve the awareness of diagnosis and treatment among clinicians.Methods:Four adolescent cases of hyperuricemia with a clear family history were admitted to the Department of Endocrinology, Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from November 2015 to August 2021. Their clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, gene sequencing, and therapeutic effects were analyzed.Results:Among the 4 patients, there were 2 cases with mutation in uromodulin(UMOD)gene(c.453C>T, 1 homozygous mutation in p. C151C; c. 453C>Y, 1 heterozygous mutation in p. C151C); 1 case with compound heterozygous mutation in adenosine triphosphate binding cassette transporter G2(ABCG2)gene(c.421C>A p. Q141K; c. 34G>A p. V12M); and 1 case with homozygous mutation in the ABCG2 gene(c.421C>A, p. Q141K). The blood uric acid levels of 4 patients decreased significantly after medical treatment and lifestyle interventions.Conclusions:In addition to primary etiology, the cause of hyperuricemia in the adolescent can be associated with certain acute and chronic diseases as well as genetic conditions. Genetic testing is recommended for patients with a family history. Medication safety should be stressed in the treatment of adolescents.

Objective:To explore the role of arthroscopic exploration in the treatment of tibial plateau fractures with homeopathic double reverse traction reduction and internal fixation.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 188 patients with tibial plateau fractures treated by homeopathic double reverse traction reduction assisted internal fixation and arthroscopic exploration at the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2019 to December 2021. There were 129 males and 59 females, aged 46.7±11.8 years (range, 14-80 years); 115 cases on the left and 73 cases on the right. Schatzker classification of fractures: 81 cases of type II, 15 cases of type III, 23 cases of type IV, 29 cases of type V, and 40 cases of type VI. The time from injury to surgery was 1-14 days, with an average of 10±5 days. The surgery was performed with double reverse traction assisted reduction, locking bone plate and self-breaking compression bolt fixation. Then, arthroscopy was used to explore the quality of fracture reduction, meniscus and ligament damage, and the corresponding intra-articular lesions were treated, such as partial meniscus resection, complete meniscus resection, or suturing. The Rasmussen score was used to evaluate the quality of fracture reduction after surgery, and the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee joint score was used to evaluate the postoperative function of the knee joint.Results:All patients successfully completed fracture reduction, fixation, and arthroscopic exploration. The average surgical time was 95±21 min (range, 30-120 min); The average intraoperative bleeding volume was 120±58 ml (range, 50-300 ml). All patients were followed up for 10-24 months, with an average of 18±6.5 months. All patients' fractures achieved clinical healing after surgery, with a healing time of 2.5-6.0 months, with an average of 3±2.4 months. Among them, 165 patients (87.8%, 165/188) healed within 3 months after surgery, while the remaining 23 patients healed within 4-6 months after surgery. Arthroscopic exploration revealed that 188 patients had good fracture reduction and a flat articular surface. Among them, 97 cases (51.6%, 97/188) were complicated with meniscus injury, with longitudinal tear (29%, 28/97) being the most common, suture treatment was performed under arthroscopy; the remaining 69 patients underwent partial meniscectomy. All the patient's knee function recovered well at the last follow-up. 29 cases (15.4%, 29/188) were complicated with cruciate ligament injury, none of them underwent primary repair and were fixed with plaster or brace after operation. The Rasmussen score for the final follow-up after surgery was 16.8±2.4 points (range, 6-18 points), with 152 cases being excellent and 36 cases being good, with a 100% excellent and good rate. The HSS knee joint scores were 79.8±9.2 points, 85.1±10.1 points, and 94.9±7.6 points at 3, 6 months after surgery, and at the last follow-up, respectively, with statistically significant differences ( F=52.53, P<0.001). Superficial skin infection occurred in 2 cases after operation, which was cured by regular dressing change and anti-infection treatment with antibiotics. Deep vein thrombosis occurred in 7 cases within 1 week after operation, and low molecular weight heparin anticoagulation therapy was given. Conclusion:After using double reverse traction assisted reduction and internal fixation, arthroscopic examination can not only evaluate the quality of reduction for tibial plateau fractures, but also handle combined meniscus injuries and evaluate the condition of cruciate ligament injuries.

In order to investigate developmental coordination disorder (DCD) of kindergarten children in Zhejiang province, 200 ordinary kindergartens were randomly selected by stratified random sampling in 11 prefecture-level cities of Zhejiang Province, and 38 900 children from 1 000 classes in each grade were then randomly selected into the study from June 2019 to December 2019. The Little DCD Questionnaire and a self-designed questionnaire were used to screen the DCD of those children. There were 36 807 valid questionnaires, and 6.50% (2 391/36 807) of them were positive results. The results showed that boy, age ≤5 years, overweight or obesity, left handedness, comorbidity with motor or developmental disorders and premature infants were risk factors of DCD in children. As for parents and families, maternal gestational age<20 years, maternal overweight or obesity before pregnancy, low-middle level education of parents, direct family and low income of family were also associated with DCD in children. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct early prevention and intervention strategies targeting on identified risk factors among relevant population.

Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and long-term outcomes with multicenter study for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in children over 10 years old and adolescents. Method: Newly diagnosed ALL patients aged from 10 to 18 years old in three hospitals were included in the study from May 1^st 2005 to April 30^th 2015. They were received ALL-2005/2009 protocol following up to December 31^st 2016. The clinical characteristics, outcomes and the prognostic analysis were evaluated between the two protocols. Results: Totally, 237 patients were involved in the study, 76 cases for ALL-2005 and 161 cases for ALL-2009 protocol. Complete remission (CR) after induction therapy was 94.5%. 64 (28.6%) patients relapsed with a median time of 14.5 months and 70 (29.5%) patients passed away during the following time. In long-term follow-up, the 5-year event-free survival (EFS) and 5-year overall survival (OS) of ALL patients were (63.1±3.3)% and (68.4±3.2)%. The 7-year EFS and OS were (61.0±3.5)% and (67.6±3.3)%.The 5-year EFS of intermediate risk group in ALL-2005 and ALL-2009 protocol were (73.6±6.1)% and (71.7±4.3)% with no difference (χ²=0.064, P=0.801). The 5-year EFS of high risk group in two protocols were (27.6±9.6)% and (33.9±9.3)%, showing no significant difference (χ²=0.296, P=0.586). Five years relapsed rate of two protocols were (33.8±5.7)% and (32.6±4.1)% with no difference (χ²=0.055, P=0.815). The mortalities were 36.8% and 29.8% separately (χ²=2.869, P=0.090). Univariate analysis indicated that age, male, risk, BCR/ABL translocation/t(9;22) and resistant to induction were risk prognostic factors in long-term survival (χ²=4.764, 4.796, 46.410, 9.560, 25.450; P=0.029, 0.029, <0.001, 0.049, <0.001). Cox multivariate analysis showed male, risk and resistant to induction were independent risk prognostic factors (RR=1.790, 2.727, 2.719; P=0.021, 0.000, 0.012). Conclusion Protocol ALL-2009 enhanced the chemotherapy intensity in intermediate risk group with no benefit of survival. BCR-ABL fusion or t(9;22) translocation was still the risk factor of prognosis. TKI inhibitor used in these patients could improve survival. EFS rate was increased a little and death rate was decreased in ALL-2009 protocol with no significant lower relapsed rate comparing with ALL-2005 protocol.

Objective To compare the difference of three methods testing the antibiotic susceptibility of mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa in order to provide accurate and reliable antibiotic susceptibility result for clinic.Methods A total of 630 mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa were collected from Linyi People′s Hospital during January 2015 to December 2016.They mainly come from respiratory medicine and the most common specimen source was sputum.All specimens were examined in 2 h.The strains isolated from the same patient were discarded.Antibiotic susceptibility was tested by the automatic microorganism analyzer VITEK2 compact, E-test, which was reference method, and K-B disk.The results of three methods were analyzed and compared by χ2 test.Results The result of E-test showed that antibiotic sensitivity of 630 mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa was above 52.7% except for Cefepime (39.2%).The result of K-B disk was compared with E-test, the antibiotic sensitivity of mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa to imipenem (72.4% vs 52.7%) and amikacin (48.6% vs 71.1%)had significant difference (χ2=8.283 7 and 10.533 8, P<0.05).The result of VITEK2 compact showed that the antibiotic susceptibility of mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa to imipenem(70.8% vs 52.7%), cefepime(60.8% vs 39.2%), gentamicin (87.6% vs 74.1%)and levofloxacin(81.3% vs 65.4%) was significant higher than the result of E-test (χ2=6.935 2,9.331 2,5.885 6 and 6.466 5, P<0.05).For tobramycin, piperacillin/tazobactam and ciprofloxacin, the result of three methods is more consistent.Compared to VITEK2 compact, the consistency between K-B disk and E-test was higher.The rate of very major error and major error were between 0.0%-4.8% (Amikacin 12.2%) and minor error was 4.6%-20.3%.Conclusions The drug sensitivity of mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa is different between various methods.The result of K-B disk and E-test using blood MH is more reliable than VITEK2 compact.

Objective To investigate the mortality risk factors of nosocomial infection patients in intensive care unit (ICU), and to guide clinicians to take effective control measures. Methods A retrospectively cohort study was conducted. The relevant information of patients with nosocomial infection treated in ICU of Hengshui Harrison International Peace Hospital Affiliated to Hebei Medical University from June 2009 to December 2015 was analyzed. The patients who admitted to ICU again, with length of ICU stay less than 48 hours, without first etiology of screening within 48 hours of ICU admission, or without complete pathogenic information were excluded. The gender, age, diagnosis, length of ICU stay, invasive operation, nutritional status, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) score, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, distribution and drug resistance of the pathogens, and procalcitonin (PCT) levels at 7 days after nosocomial infection were recorded. The risk factors leading to death in patients with nosocomial infection were analyzed by logistic regression, and the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn to evaluate the predictive value of all risk factors on the outcome of patients with nosocomial infection. Results In 864 enrolled patients with male of 54.75% and mean age of (63.50±15.80) years, 732 (84.72%) patients survived and 132 (15.28%) died. Compared with survivors, the non-survivors had higher age (years: 65.47±15.32 vs. 58.15±13.27), incidence of urgent trachea intubation (32.58% vs. 22.81%), deep venous catheterization (83.33% vs. 63.25%), and multiple drug-resistant infection (65.91% vs. 33.20%), longer length of ICU stay (days: 13.56±4.29 vs. 10.29±4.32) and duration of coma (days: 7.36±2.46 vs. 5.48±2.14), lower albumin (g/L: 23.64±8.47 vs. 26.36±12.84), higher APACHEⅡ score (19.28±5.16 vs. 17.56±5.62), SOFA score (8.55±1.34 vs. 6.43±2.65), and PCT (μg/L: 3.06±1.36 vs. 2.53±0.87, all P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in gender and urinary tract catheterization between survivors and non-survivors (both P > 0.05). The low respiratory tract was the most common site of infection followed by urinary tract and bloodstream in both groups. It was shown by logistic regression analysis that prolonged ICU stay [odds ratio (OR) = 2.039, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 1.231-3.473, P = 0.002], APACHEⅡ score (OR = 1.683, 95%CI= 1.002-9.376, P = 0.000), SOFA score (OR = 2.060, 95%CI = 1.208 -14.309, P = 0.041), PCT (OR = 2.090, 95%CI = 1.706-13.098, P = 0.004), and multi-drug resistant pathogens infection (OR = 5.245, 95%CI = 2.213-35.098, P = 0.027) were independent risk factors for ICU mortality in patients with nosocomial infection. The area under ROC curve (AUC) of length of ICU stay, APACHEⅡ score, SOFA score, and PCT level for predicting death of nosocomial infection patients was 0.854, 0.738, 0.786, and 0.849, respectively, the best cut-off value was 16.50 days, 22.45, 6.37 and 3.38 μg/L, respectively, the sensitivity was 83.6%, 90.0%, 81.1%, and 89.6%, and the specificity was 70.3%, 75.6%, 71.3%, and 85.4%, respectively. Conclusions Prol onged ICU stay, nosocomial infection with secondary sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome were the leading causes of death for nosocomial infection patients in ICU. Prolonged ICU stay, APACHE Ⅱ score, SOFA score, and PCT level could effectively predict death risks for nosocomial infection patients.
