Objective: To compare bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and dual energy X ray absorptiometry (DXA) for measuring body mineral content (BMC) of children and adolescents, and to provide a basis for BIA to accurately measure BMC in children and adolescents. Methods: By using the convenience sampling method, among 1 469 children and adolescents aged 7-17 were recruited in Guangzhou from April to May 2019, the BMC was measured by DXA and BIA. The intraclass correlation coefficient ( ICC ) and Bland Altman analysis were used to evaluate the agreement between BIA and DXA. Bland Altman analysis was performed on log transformed data. The BMC was categorized into age and specific tertiles, and the agreement between methods was evaluated based on the kappa coefficients. Treating the BMC with DXA as the dependent variable, a prediction model was constructed for correcting the BIA measure. Results: The ICC s were 0.93 and 0.94 for boys and girls, respectively. In Bland Altman analysis, the limits of agreements for the BIA to DXA ratio were wide in boys and girls, ranging from 0.27-0.76 and 0.17-0.72, respectively. The kappa coefficients for categorized BMC levels were 0.57 and 0.45 for boys and girls, respectively, showing a fair to good degree of agreement. When sub grouped by BMI, the kappa coefficients for all BMI groups of boys and overweight girls were all >0.75 , with an excellent agreement. The prediction models for boys and girls were as follows: BMC DXA =-0.51+0.44× BMC BIA + 0.06× Age +0.02× BMI ; and BMC DXA =-0.55+0.43× BMC BIA +0.06× Age +0.02× BMI , respectively. The R 2 for models of boys and girls were 0.87 and 0.87, respectively. Conclusion The agreement between BIA and DXA was poor for measuring BMC, but acceptable when evaluating the categorized BMC levels, suggesting the BIA may be applied in assessment of the BMC levels when compared to the age and gender specific population. Additionally, the prediction model for correcting BMC by BIA fis well to the measurement by DXA.

Objective:To analyze the current status of body composition and development patterns of children and adolescents aged 6-17 years in Guangzhou.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study involving 8 169 school students from 3 elementary schools and 3 middle schools in Guangzhou from March to December 2019.The fat-free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) were measured by the bioelectrical impedance analysis.The fat-free mass index (FFMI) and fat mass index (FMI) were calculated via the height standardization. T test was used to compare quantitative variables between groups.The growth pattern of body composition was described using the Hattori chart. Results:A total of 4 431 boys (54.24%) and 3 738 girls (45.76%) were involved in this study.FFM and FM both increased with age between boys and girls.Except for boys aged 11 years, FFM in boys were significantly higher than that in girls with the same age (all P<0.05). In the age of 7-10 years, FM in boys were significantly higher than that in girls with the same age, while it was significantly higher in girls aged 12 years and older than that of boys at the same age (all P<0.05). The Hattori chart showed that the difference in body composition between genders occurred after 11 years old.In contrast to girls, increases in the weight and body mass index (BMI) in boys were mainly attributed to the FFM development. Conclusions:The development of FFM and FM in children and adolescents varies with age, accompanied with the gender-specific features.FFM in boys is higher than that of girls at the same age.The weight gain in boys is mainly attributed to the development of fat-free tissues, and thus the utility of BMI may lead to the overestimation of obesity.

Objective:Surgical site infection (SSI) is the most common infectious complication after emergency abdominal surgery (EAS). To a large extent, most SSI can be prevented, but there are few relevant studies in China. This study mainly investigated the current situation of SSI occurrence after EAS in China, and further explored risk factors for SSI occurrence.Methods:Multi-center cross-sectional study was conducted. Clinical data of patients undergoing EAS in 33 hospitals across China between May 1, 2019 and June 7, 2019 were prospectively collected, including perioperative data and microbial culture results from infected incisions. The primary outcome was the incidence of SSI after EAS, while the secondary outcomes were postoperative hospital stay, ICU occupancy rate, length of ICU stay, hospitalization cost, and mortality within postoperative 30 days. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the risk factors of SSI after EAS.Results:A total of 660 EAS patients aged (47.9±18.3) years were enrolled in this study, including 56.5% of males (373/660). Forty-nine (7.4%) patients developed postoperative SSI. The main pathogen of SSI was Escherichia coli [culture positive rate was 32.7% (16/49)]. As compared to patients without SSI, those with SSI were more likely to be older (median 56 years vs. 46 years, U=19 973.5, P<0.001), male [71.4% (35/49) vs. 56.1% (343/611), χ 2=4.334, P=0.037] and diabetes [14.3% (7/49) vs. 5.1% (31/611), χ 2=5.498, P=0.015]; with-lower preoperative hemoglobin (median: 122.0 g/L vs. 143.5 g/L, U=11 471.5, P=0.006) and albumin (median: 35.5 g/L vs. 40.8 g/L, U=9452.0, P<0.001), with higher blood glucose (median: 6.9 mmol/L vs. 6.0 mmol/L, U=17 754.5, P<0.001); with intestinal obstruction [32.7% (16/49) vs. 9.2% (56/611), χ 2=25.749, P<0.001], with ASA score 3-4 [42.9% (21/49) vs. 13.9% (85/611), χ 2=25.563, P<0.001] and with high surgical risk [49.0% (24/49) vs. 7.0% (43/611), χ 2=105.301, P<0.001]. The main operative procedure resulting in SSI was laparotomy [81.6%(40/49) vs. 35.7%(218/611), χ 2=40.232, P<0.001]. Patients with SSI experienced significantly longer operation time (median: 150 minutes vs. 75 minutes, U=25 183.5, P<0.001). In terms of clinical outcome, higher ICU occupancy rate [51.0% (25/49) vs. 19.5% (119/611), χ 2=26.461, P<0.001], more hospitalization costs (median: 44 000 yuan vs. 15 000 yuan, U=24 660.0, P<0.001), longer postoperative hospital stay (median: 10 days vs. 5 days, U=23 100.0, P<0.001) and longer ICU occupancy time (median: 0 days vs. 0 days, U=19 541.5, P<0.001) were found in the SSI group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the elderly (OR=3.253, 95% CI: 1.178-8.985, P=0.023), colorectal surgery (OR=9.156, 95% CI: 3.655-22.937, P<0.001) and longer operation time (OR=15.912, 95% CI:6.858-36.916, P<0.001) were independent risk factors of SSI, while the laparoscopic surgery (OR=0.288, 95% CI: 0.119-0.694, P=0.006) was an independent protective factor for SSI. Conclusions:For patients undergoing EAS, attention should be paid to middle-aged and elderly patients and those of colorectal surgery. Laparoscopic surgery should be adopted when feasible and the operation time should be minimized, so as to reduce the incidence of SSI and to reduce the burden on patients and medical institutions.

Objective To study the influence of combined spinal-epidural anesthesia on perioperative coagulation function,RAAS activity and postoperative analgesia effect in parturients with cesarean section.Methods One hundred and eighteen parturients of cesarean section in our hospital from June 2013 to January 2016 were collected and divided into the observation group and control group according to the random number table method,59 cases in each group.The observation group received the combined spinal-epidural anesthesia and the control group received epidural anesthesia.The coagulation function indicators on preoperative 1 d (T0),at 10 min before operation end(T1) and postoperative 6 h (T2) were detected by adopting the automatic blood coagulation analyzer,the renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) function indices were detectd by radioimmunoassay.The pain indicators at postoperative 6 h(T2),12 h (T3) were detected by the pain threshold test instrument.Results The levels of prothrombin time(PT),activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and thrombin time (TT) at T1 and T2 in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group,while the PTA level was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05);serum RAAS indices such as (renin),angiotensin Ⅱ(ANG II) aldosterone(ALD) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The VAS score at T2,T3 in the observation group was lower than that in the control group,while the pain threshold and pain tolerance threshold levels in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Combined spinal-epidural anesthesia can reduce the blood coagulation and RAAS activation caused by cesarean section trauma,and the effect of postoperative analgesia is more significant.

Objective To evaluate the effect of atorvastatin on patients with hepatolithiasis and obstructive jaundice after partial hepatectomy.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the data of 51 patients with hepatolithiasis and obstructive jaundice who were treated with partial hepatectomy from July 2006 to August 2015 at Xishan People's Hospital of Wuxi.Based on whether atorvastatin was used or not,the patients were divided into the treatment group (25 patients) and the control group (26 patients).Liver function tests were determined regularly after operation.The serum liver function on postoperative day 3 (P3d) and postoperative day 5 (P5d),complications (incisional infection,abdominal infection,pleural effusion,peritoneal effusion and bile leakage) and duration of hospital stay in the two groups of patients were compared.Results There was no perioperative death in the two groups.When compared with the control group,liver function data suggested an improvement in the treatment group,as ALT and AST in the treatment group were significantly lower than in the control group on P3d and P5d [ALT (252.6 ± 87.0) U/L vs (385.0 ± 152.9)U/L,(89.9 ±28.2) U/L vs (116.9 ±29.3) U/L;AST(130.7 ±66.9) U/L vs (212.7 ±80.0) U/L,(47.5 ± 16.1) vs (69.2 ± 12.2) U/L,all P ＜ 0.05].When compared with the control group,the serum cholesterol level was lower on P3d and P5d [TC:(6.7 ± 0.3) mmol/L vs (6.2 ± 0.3) mmol/L;(6.1 ± 0.4) mmol/L vs (7.0 ± 0.4) mmol/L,P ＜ 0.05],the serum CRP level was also lower in the treatment group [(56.8 ± 15.7) mg/L vs (98.9 ± 40.3) rg/L,P ＜ 0.05];the duration of hospital stay was (10 ± 1) days in the treatment group,which was significantly different from the control group (12 ± 1) days.Conclusion The use of atorvastatin in patients with hepatolithiasis and obstructive jaundice who were treated with partial hepatectomy improved postoperative liver function and shortened postoperative hospital stay.

Objective To determine the EC50 of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride ( DEX) which causes disappearance of explicit memory by process dissociation procedure (PDP). Methods Forty patients those who had senior middle school or higher educational background undergoing lower extremity surgery with grade ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ, without hearing impairment, dysphasia,nervous system disorders,and having no drugs in the treatment of the central nervous system were included.PDP was applied to establish study table and record, and calculate performance of explicit memory and implicit memory. Memory performance was statistically compared with 0, 0 memory was considered to be statistically significant and disappearance, respectively.Sequential method was used for determination.According to explicit memory disappearance or not,target concentration of the next patient was adjusted (increase or decrease).DEX target concentration of the first patient was set to 4 ng?mL-1,and the ratio of target concentration between the adjacent patients was 1.2.If the explicit memory of the former patient disappeared,the target concentration of the next patient was decreased by 1 concentration gradient;if the explicit memory of the former patient did not disappear,the target concentration of the next patient was increased by 1 concentration gradient, and so forth. All the 40 patients were determined.The median effective dose (D1) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of DEX were calculated. Results The ED50 of DEX causing explicit memory disappearance was 5.23 ng?mL-1,and the 95% CI was 4.07-6.39 ng?mL-1. Conclusion In clinical,target concentration of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride 5.23 ng?mL-1 levels for sedation,can cause half of patients’ explicit memory disappear,so as to avoid intraoperative awareness.

Objective To compare the EC50 of Propofol for inhibiting intubation response. Methods 80 cases un-derwent tracheal intubation general anesthesia, all patients were randomly divided into two groups. The general situ-ation between the two groups showed no significant difference. Except for Propofol, other anesthesia drugs infusion method and dosage were the same. Sequential determination the EC50 of Propofol which for inhibiting intubation re-sponse of each groups by up-and-down. Propofol target concentration of the first patient was set to 4 μg/ml, and ad-justed according to intubation stress response disappeared or not, concentration of two adjacent patients with ratio of 1.2. Results A group inhibited the cardiovascular responses of Propofol EC50 and 95%CI was 5.19 μg/ml (95%CI:4.88 ~ 5.50 μg/ml). B group inhibited the cardiovascular responses of Propofol EC50 and 95 %CI was 4.15μg/ml (95%CI:3.80~4.40μg/ml). The EC50 and 95% confidence interval of the B group were significantly lower than those of the A group ( P< 0.05). The MAP and HR at T2 were higher than that of T1 in each group ( P< 0.05), and the MAP and HR of observe group were lower than that of control group ( P< 0.05). The MAP and HR at T3 were lower than that of T1 in control group ( P< 0.05), but there were no significant deference in observe group ( P> 0.05).Conclusion The EC50 and 95% confidence interval of Propofol for inhibiting intubation response under photopic laryngoscopes was significant lower than those of under direct laryngoscopes, the circulation during period of induc-tion and intubation was more stable.

Objective A field investigation of worm eggs in dog feces,classification of crabs and metacercaria infection were carried out in Nanbai Town of Zunyi County,Guizhou Province.Methods One or two villages were selected as the survey sites in Nanbai Town of Zunyi County and the local dogs and crabs were chosen as survey objects.Worm eggs in dog feces were detected using natural precipitation method.On the base of holotype,the classification of crabs was identified.Then,crabs were mashed and metacercaria were detected.Results From November 2014 to September 2015,through this survey in Xiejia Village and Longquan Administration Village,fifty-three fresh feces of dogs were collected and three worm eggs were detected,such as Dipylidium caninum egg,Toxocara canis egg and Spirometra mansoni egg.Forty-two crabs were caught,including fourteen female adults (two larvaes) and twenty-eight male adults (nine larvaes).All these crabs were identified as Sinopotamonzunyiense by morphological method and metacercaria was not detected.Conclusion Nanbai Town of Zunyi County only has Sinopotamonzunyiense;metacercaria is not detected,which means that this local area is not a Paragonimus epidemiological region;only three worm eggs are detected in dog feces.
