Objective:To evaluate the correlation between elevated cTnI level and 28-day mortality after liver transplantation.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted in adult patients admitted to ICU after liver transplantation from Jun 2015 to March 2019 at Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital. The cardiac troponin Ⅰ levels within 48 h after surgery were examined. Patients outcome was followed up,the primary end point was mortality within 28-day. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to look for predictors of 28-day mortality.Results:Three hundred and eighteen patients were included in our analyses. Twenty-six patients died and 292 survived within 28 days after LT. Two hundred and forty-three of 318 (76.4%) cases presented elevated cTnI in the early stage after LT. Thirty-seven of 318 (11.6%) patients presented a moderate elevation of cTnI level (5-10 times over normal upper limit), 75 (23.6%) of them presented severe cTnI elevation (10 times over normal upper limit). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression model shows severe cTnI elevation was the independent prognostic factors associated with 28-day mortality [Odds Ratio (95% confidence interval)=3.151(1.218-8.150), P=0.018]. Conclusion:Early cTnI elevation is common after liver transplantation, and severe cTnI elevation is significantly associated with 28-day mortality.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of children with septic shock caused by invasive pneumococcal diseases (IPDs) in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).Methods:The clinical data of children diagnosed as septic shock caused by IPDs and hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) of Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University and the PICU of Henan Children′s Hospital from January 2013 to August 2019 were retrospectively collected, and the clinical characteristics and prognosis of these patients were analyzed.Results:Twenty-one children were included, with a median age of 1.2 (0.75, 3.90) years old.The pediatric index of mortality 2 (PIM-2) at admitting was (23.3±29.6)%, and 6 cases had underlying diseases.Main sites of infection included blood flow (20 cases) and suppurative meningitis (15 cases). The drug sensitivity test was performed on 18 children, among who 9 cases were sensitive to Penicillin, 10 cases to Cefepime, 11 cases to Cefotaxime and 10 cases to Meropenem.All 18 patients were sensitive to Vancomycin and Linezolid.Seven cases and 13 cases were treated with sensitive antibiotics at the disease onset and before septic shock, respectively.In 21 cases whose lactic acid level was (6.1±4.6) mmol/L, the shock redress time of 10 cases was (10.9±10.1)h, and 13 cases (61.9%) died (14.6±12.2) hours after septic shock, among who 10 died of transforamed magna herniation.The PIM-2 score at admitting into PICU and the rate of intracranial hypertension crisis in the death group were significantly higher than those in the survival group [(37.1±30.3)% vs.(0.9±1.3)%, 69.9% (9/13 cases) vs.25.0% (2/8 cases)](all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in age and the utilization rate of effective antibiotics before septic shock between the two groups (all P<0.05). Four of the surviving 8 children had severe cerebral functional disability. Conclusions:Septic shock caused by IPD is more common in children under 5 years old, and the most common sites are blood flow and intracranial infection.It has high resistance rate against Cephalosporins and Carbopenem.Patients with purulent meningitis are easy to develop intracranial hypertension crisis, which has an extremely high mortality and morbidity, so it needs to be identified and treated early.

Objective:To investigate the clinical manifestation, genetic characteristics, treatment and prognosis of Crouzon-like syndrome.Methods:Clinical data of one case of Crouzon-like syndrome diagnosed in Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University in May 2019 were collected, including clinical test, treatment plan, follow-up outcomes. The clinical characteristics and the mutation characteristics of IL11RA-related Crouzon-like syndrome were analyzed combined with the literature.Results:The male proband, five years and four months old, was admitted with the main clinical manifestations including headache, vomiting, exophthalmos, ocular hypertelorism, nasal root flat and scaphocephaly. CT showed that the cerebellar tonsil moved down slightly, the occipital magnum was full, the bilateral cranial plates were locally thinner, the bilateral cranial diameters were increased, and the cranial seams were closed. Magnetic resonance imaging showed ChiariⅠmalformation. The mutation c.40_63del and splice site mutation c.811-2A>G of the patient′s IL11RA gene were screened by whole exome sequencing. Sanger sequencing showed that the mutations are compound heterozygous and both are first reported. The mutation c.811-2A>G was derived from the patient′s mother, and the other one is de novo.Conclusions:The main clinical manifestations of Crouzon-like syndrome are craniosynostosis and midface hypoplasia and ocular deformity. The study identified two novel mutations in the Crouzon-like syndrome related IL11RA gene. Genetic sequencing is helpful for accurate diagnosis and timely surgical treatment.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics in children with digestive tract poison-ing in emergency department and discuss the measures of prevention and treatment. Methods Four hundred and seventy-three cases with digestive tract poisoning who visited the emergency department of Zhengzhou Children′s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed from January 2015 to December 2017. The ages,toxic poi-soning causes,types,clinical features, laboratory examinations, hospitalization expenses and outcomes were analyzed. They were divided into drug poisoning and non-drug poisoning group to compare. Results There were 317 (67. 0%) cases aged 6 days to 3 years old,133 (28. 1%) cases aged 3 to 6 years old,23 cases (4. 9%) >6 years old. The incidence rate was similar in each season but slightly lower in winter. There were 462 (97. 7%) cases of accidental poisoning,of which 377 (79. 7%) cases were mistreated and 85 (18. 0%) cases were mistakenly fed by parents,other 11 (2. 3%) cases were non-accidental poisoning. Three hundreds and thirty-six (71. 0%) cases were drug poisoning,and 137 (29. 0%) cases were non-drug poisoning. Drug poisonings were higher in urban children than in rural children, the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =7. 037,P=0. 008). The percentage of digestive symptoms and blood system symptoms in non-drug poi-soning group were higher than those in drug poisoning group,and the differences were statistically significant (54. 0% vs. 8. 3%,χ2 =120. 067,P<0. 001;7. 3% vs. 3. 0%,χ2 =4. 491,P =0. 034). The percentage of cardiovascular system symptoms and respiratory symptoms in the non-drug poisoning group were lower than that in the drug poisoning group,and the differences were statistically significant (1. 5% vs. 14. 9%, χ2 =17. 915,P<0. 001;2. 9% vs. 11. 0%,χ2 =8. 050,P=0. 005). Except for liver function and myocardial en-zyme,the percentage of abnormal laboratory indicators(white blood cells,platelets,blood glucose,lactic acid, electrolyte,coagulation) in non-drug poisoning group were higher than those in the drug poisoning group,and the differences were all statistically significant(all P<0. 05). The hospitalization cost of the non-drug poison-ing group was greater than that of the drug poisoning group,and the difference was statistically significant (Z= -12. 444,P<0. 001). Both in the drug-poisoning group and non-drug poisoning group,the cure or im-provement rate of the <6 h treating group were higher than that of the >6h treating group,and the difference was all statistically significant(all P<0. 05). Conclusion Children with acute gastrointestinal poisoning are mostly infants and preschoolers,mainly accidental poisoning,and often taken by mistake. Drug poisonings are mostly found in cities and non-drug poisonings in rural areas. Non-drug poisoning children have more serious damages and higher hospitalization costs than drug poisoning children. Early treatment after poisoning is an important factor to improve cure rate.

Objective To explore the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of congenital disorder of glycosylation type 1a (CDG-Ⅰa), a rare inherited metabolic disease. Methods The clinical data and the gene detection results of one case of CDG-Ia which was discovered because the case had encephalopathy and hepatopathy were retrospectively analyzed. The related literatures were reviewed. Results Male infant suffered with face and trunk rash, motor development retardation, malnutrition, cheek fat plump, low limbs muscle tone, and bilateral crater nipple at 3 months old. Abnormal liver function and mild renal impairment were found after examination. The development quotient was low. Head MRI showed that bilateral frontal and temporal sulcus widening, and cerebellar atrophy. Urinary organic acids, amino acids, carnitine, and biotin activities were normal. Gene sequencing revealed that there were two heterozygous mutations, c.430T>C (p.F144L) and c.713G>C (p.R238P), in the PMM2 gene. The diagnosis of CDG-Ⅰa was confirmed. Both of the infant's parents were healthy, and each of them carries a pathogenic mutation. The infant had an elder brother who had mental disorder and died for liver and kidney function damage and hydronephrosis at 8 months old. Conclusion CDG-Ⅰa is an autosomal recessive disease. For infants with unexplained multiple organ damage, especially combined with intelligent and motor development retardations, strabismus, nipple retraction, and cerebellar atrophy, the possibility of CDG-Ⅰa should be considered. Gene detection of PMM2 can help the diagnosis.
