Objective To analyze the risk factors of short-term re-obstruction after plastic stent placement by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP)in patients with hilar malignant biliary obstruction.Methods A retrospective study was performed on clinical data of 93 patients with hilar malignant biliary obstruction who underwent ERCP biliary plastic stent placement from January 2015 to January 2024.Understanding the effects of general information,clinical characteristics,operative-related factors,and laboratory-related indicators on postoperative short-term re-obstruction.The dependent variable was whether biliary stent re-obstruction in short-term after operation,univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the risk factors for the patients with hilar malignant biliary obstruction occurred re-obstruction in short-term after ERCP plastic stent placement.Results Among the 93 patients,49 patients had short-term recurrent biliary stent obstruction after plastic stent placement by ERCP and the recurrence rate was 52.7%.Univariate analysis showed that gender,types of malignant biliary strictures,preoperative cholangitis,no drainage before operation and endoscopic sphincterotomy(EST)during ERCP plastic stent placement,location of stent placement,fever within 24 h after ERCP plastic stent placement,the decrease less than 50%of total bilirubin(TBiL)at 2 weeks after operation,the decrease less than＜50%of γ-glutamyl transpeptidase(GGT)at 2 weeks after operation,GGT and alkaline phosphatase(ALP)by less than 50%at 2 weeks after operation were potential risk factors affecting for short-term re-obstruction after ERCP plastic stent placement in patients with hilar malignant biliary obstruction.Multivariate analysis showed that,no drainage before operation(O＾R=5.738,P=0.013),preoperative cholangitis(O＾R=5.347,P=0.025)and place stents on the left or on the right(O＾R=6.739,P=0.014;O＾R=9.719,P=0.005)were independent risk factors for short-term re-obstruction after ERCP plastic stent placement.Conclusion No drainage before operation,preoperative cholangitis,place stents on the left or on the right are independent risk factors for short-term re-obstruction after ERCP plastic stent placement in patients with hilar malignant biliary obstruction.Early identification of risk groups and timely intervention of risk factors in clinical practice are of great significance for the prevention of short-term re-obstruction after ERCP plastic stent placement in such patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of different stents placement under endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP)in patients with malignant biliary obstruction(MBO)and the effect on patient survival time.Methods Clinical data of MBO patients treated with ERCP stent placement between January 2020 and March 2024 were collected,divided into recyclable stent group(33 cases),metal stent group(42 cases),and ordinary stent group(34 cases).Comparation of the three groups of preoperative and postoperative changes in liver function,complications of long-term cholangitis and pancreatitis,stent patency time,success rate of stent removal with a single clamping,survival time,monitoring follow-up situation.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the liver function of the three groups of patients before stent placement(P>0.05);One week after stent placement,the difference compared with preoperative between direct bilirubin(DBiL)and total bilirubin(TBiL)in the recyclable stent group and the metal stent group was significantly higher than that in the ordinary stent group,and the difference between the ordinary stent group and other two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).The incidence of cholangitis in the recyclable stent group was the lowest,followed by the ordinary plastic biliary stent,and the metal biliary stent had the highest incidence of cholangitis,the incidence of cholangitis in the long term after stent placement was compared among the three groups of patients with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).The incidence of postoperative pancreatitis in the three groups was not statistically significant(P>0.05).The success rate of stent removal with a single clamping was higher in the recyclable stent group than the ordinary stent group.Comparison of median stent patency time among the three groups,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The metal stent group had the longest median patency time of 194.0 d,recyclable plastic stent had the second longest median patency time of 126.0 d,and ordinary plastic biliary stent had the shortest median patency time of 92.0 d.Median survival time among the three groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).The recyclable plastic biliary stent had the longest median survival time of 590.0 d,metal biliary stent had the second longest median survival time of 476.0 d,and ordinary plastic biliary stent had the shortest median survival time of 453.0 d.Conclusion Recyclable plastic biliary stent has a faster decrease in bilirubin index compared with the ordinary stent group after operation.And the recyclable plastic stent group has lower incidence of long-term cholangitis,higher success rate of one-time clamping of the stent,and more advantages in time to stent patency and survival time compared with ordinary plastic biliary stent,which is an effective choice of stenting modality for ERCP stent placement in patients with MBO.

Objective:To identify the relationship between exposure to mobile phones and other electronic products and the ability development in children.Methods:Retrospective study.A total of 218 children aged 0.5-6.0 years presented to the Department of Health Care, Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University form September 2019 to June 2020 for developmental examination were included.Those with nervous system, mental system diseases, endocrine system diseases and premature children were excluded.Their development was evaluated and the information about exposure to mobiles phones and other electronic products were collected. Chi- square test and Fisher′ s exact probability method were used to analyze the relationship between the exposure to mobile phones and other electronic products and the ability development in children.The influencing factors of children′s development in various fields were analyzed by the binary Logistic regression. Results:Abnormal fine movements of children aged 0.5-0.9 years were related to the latest time every night of exposure ( P<0.05). Abnormalities of adaptability, language and social self-care in children aged 1.0-2.9 years and abnormality of language in children aged 3.0-5.9 years were correlated with the number of hours of daily exposure (all P<0.05). Abnormalities of language and social self-care in children aged 1.0-2.9 years and abnormalities of adaptability, language and social self-care in children aged 3.0-5.9 years were correlated with the purposes of exposure (all P<0.05). Binary Logistic regression analysis indicated that the children′s gross motor was affected by the number of hours of daily exposure ( OR=1.868, P<0.05). The children′s fine motor movements were affected by mother′s educational level and the latest time every night of exposure ( OR=1.722, 2.355, all P<0.05). The children′s adaptability was affected by mother′s educational level, child caregivers, the number of hours of daily exposure and the latest time every night of exposure ( OR=1.711, 2.866, 1.895, 1.650, all P<0.05). The children′s speech was affected by the number of hours of daily exposure, the latest time every night of exposure, and the purposes of exposure (telephone or video phone, early education or study)( OR=2.348, 1.806, 0.328/0.350, all P<0.05). The children′s social interaction and self-care delay were affected by mother′s educational level, the number of hours of daily exposure and the purposes of exposure (telephone or video phone, early education or study)( OR=1.647, 2.678, 0.307/0.363, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The adverse effects of exposure to mobile phones and other electronic products on children should be well concerned.The exposure time of developing young children should be strictly controlled to prevent the adverse effects on the nervous system and development in children.For children who were already affected, relevant habits and behaviors should be timely corrected to avoid irreversible damages.

Objective:To develop an artificial intelligence system for detecting dental plaque on permanent teeth and find the influenced factors.Methods:Photos of the labial or buccal surfaces of the permanent teeth were taken by using an intraoral camera (1 280×960 pixels; TPC Ligang, Shenzhen, China) before and after applying the plaque-disclosing agent (Cimedical, Japan) in 25 volunteers [12 males, 13 femals, aged (23±3) years] recruided in accordance with the inclusion criteria from the students of Peking University School of Stomatology from October 2018 to June 2019. A total of 549 groups of photos were captured and then divided into a training dataset containing 440 groups of photos and a test dataset including 109 groups of photos. The scopes of teeth and dental plaque on photos were labeled using LabelMe (Windows 3.2.1, MIT, U S A). A DeepLab based deep learning system was designed for the intelligent detection of dental plaque on permanent teeth. The mean intersection over union (MIoU) was employed to indicate the detection accuracy. Matlab (Windows R2017a, MathWorks, U S A) was used to extract the plaque edge line of 109 groups of photos and to calculate the number of pixels for the measurement of the complexity of the plaque edge line. The percentage of dental plaque area was calculated. Multivariate linear regression was used to explore whether tooth site, plaque percentage, number of plaque edge line pixels and lens light spot location would influence the detection accuracy, of which P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:The MIoU of the permanent tooth model was 0.700±0.191 when 440 photos were used for training and 109 photos were used for testing. In the regression model of significance test ( P<0.05), the percentage of plaque and the number of pixels on the edge of plaque had significant influence on the accuracy of dental plaque detection. The standardized coefficient of the number of pixels of the plaque edge line is -0.289, and the standardized coefficient of the percentage of plaque is -0.551. Conclusions:In the present study, an artificial intelligence system was built to detect dental plaque area on tooth photos collected by family intraoral camera. The system showed the ability to detect the dental plaque of permanent teeth. The more complex the marginal line of dental plaque and higher the percentage of dental plaque are, the lower the accuracy of plaque recognition is.

Objective:To develop a prototype artificial intelligence image recognition system for detecting dental caries, especially those without cavities, in children.Methods:Seven hundred and twelve intraoral photos, which were taken by dental professionals using a digital camera from October 2013 to June 2020 in the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology, were collected from the children who received dental treatment under general anesthesia. The well-documented post-treatment electronic dental record of each child was identified as label standard to determine whether the teeth were carious and the type of caries types such as caries that had become cavities (caries with cavities), pit and fissure caries that had not become cavities (pit and fissure caries) and proximal caries which the marginal ridge enamel had not been destroyed (proximal caries). The various teeth and caries types were labeled by pediatric dentists using VoTT software (Windows 2.1.0, Microsoft, U S A). There were five labeled groups: pit and fissure caries, approximal caries, non-carious approximal surfaces, caries with cavities and teeth without caries (including intact fillings). Each group was randomly divided into training dataset, validation dataset and test dataset at a ratio of 6.4∶1.6∶2.0 by using random number table. After using the labeled training dataset for deep learning training, a deep learning-based artificial intelligence (AI) image recognition system for detecting dental caries was established, with the caries probability greater than 50.0% as the criterion for determining caries. Sensitivity and accuracy were used as indicators of recognition specificity.Results:Seven hundred and twelve single-jaw intraoral photographs were segmented and annotated into 953 pit and fissure caries, 1 002 approximal caries, 3 008 caries with cavities, 3 189 teeth without caries and 862 non-carious approximal surfaces, totaly 9 014 labels. The sensitivities and specificities of the test set were 96.0% and 97.0% for caries with cavities, 95.8% and 99.0% for pit and fissure caries and 88.1% and 97.1% for approximal caries.Conclusions:The current AI system developed based on deep learning of the intra-oral photos in the present study showed the ability to detect dental caries. Furthermore, the AI system could accurately verify different types of dental caries such as caries with cavities, pit and fissure caries and proximal caries.

Objective To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae ( CRE) isolated from children in China. Methods CRE strains were collected in 10 ter-tiary children's hospitals of China from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2017. Antimicrobial susceptibility of the clinical strains was detected with disk diffusion method ( KB method) and automated method. The re-sults were analyzed according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute ( CLSI) Standards published in 2017. WHONET 5. 6 software was used to retrospectively analyze the distribution characteristics and drug resistance of these strains. Results A total of 3065 CRE clinical strains were isolated from children with an overall prevalence of 7. 7％ and among them, 13. 5％ were isolated in neonatal group and 5. 8％ in non-neo-natal group. The detection rate of CRE in 2017 was higher than that in 2016 (9. 7％ vs 5. 7％). Among the 3065 CRE strains, there were 1912 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae (62. 0％), 667 strains of Escherichia coli (22. 0％), 206 strains of Enterobacter cloacae (7. 0％), 56 strains of Klebsiella aerogenes (1. 8％) and 47 strains of Serratia marcescens (1. 5％). Most of the strains were isolate in neonatology departments including neonatal intensive care units (NICU) and intensive care units (ICU), accounting for 44. 8％ and 19. 7％, respectively. Respiratory tract (61. 8％), urine (19. 4％) and blood (5. 7％) specimens were the main sources of CRE isolates. Results of antimicrobial susceptibility test showed that the CRE strains were highly resistant to carbapenem antibiotics such as imipenem, meropenem and ertapenem, as well as penicillins and most cephalosporins (79. 6％-100％), especially those isolated in the neonatal group (P<0. 05). Children had relatively low resistance rates to aminoglycosides such as amikacin (19. 7％) and fos-fomycin (11. 9％), fluoroquinolones such as levofloxacin (37. 7％) and ciprofloxacin (43. 3％), and tige-cycline (3. 8％). Currently, no polymyxin B-resistant strains were isolated. Conclusions The prevalence of common CRE strains in children in 2017 was higher than that in 2016, especially in newborns. Drug re-sistance in CRE strains isolated from neonates to common antibiotics was more severe, suggesting that great attention should be paid to it and timely measures should also be taken.

Objective:To establish the post-discharge disease management program for patients with chronic heart failure,and observe the effects of disease management on prognosis.Methods:Totally 207 patients with chronic heart failure,who were ad-mitted to hospital due to acute exacerbation,were enrolled.After discharge these patients were randomly divided into the study group (103 cases)and the control group (104 cases).Disease management program was implemented in the study group,and only routine outpatient follow-up was implemented in the control group.The clinical follow-up results one year after discharge were compared between the two groups.Results:Excluding the patients lost during follow-up,totally 1 88 patients completed the data collection,among which 98 cases were from the study group and 90 cases were from the control group.There was no significant difference regarding the baseline of clinical characteristics between the two groups (P >0.05 ).Follow-up results showed that compared with that in the control group,within the six months after discharged,the readmission rate,the multi-ple readmission rate,and the readmission or death joint events rate in the study group decreased significantly (P <0.05).The percentage of cardiac function NYHA class I to II and the left ventricular ejection fraction in the study group were higher than that in the control group (P <0.05),and the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter was in contrast (P <0.05).The score of Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire in the study group was superior to that in the control group (P <0.05 ). Conclusions:The implementation of post-discharge disease management for the patients with chronic heart failure can signifi-cantly reduce the risk of the readmission,the multiple readmission,and the readmission or death joint events within the six months after discharge,and improve the patients’cardiac function and quality of life.
