背景: 在容易暴露于大量微生物的环境( 如传统的农场) 中成长的儿童, 不易患儿童哮喘和特应性体质。在既往的研究中, 微生物暴露的标志物与这些疾病呈负相关关系。方法: 在两项横断面研究中, 我们比较了居住于农场的儿童与参照组儿童哮喘和特应性体质的患病率以及微生物暴露的多样性。在一项PARSIFAL研究[ 变态反应的预防-与农业及特别信仰( Anthroposophic) 生活方式相关的儿童致敏作用的危险因素] 中, 研究者采用单链构型多态性( SSCP) 分析筛查了床垫灰尘样本的细菌DNA, 以检测出培养技术无法检测到的环境细菌。在另一项GABRIELA 研究[ 鉴定欧共体中哮喘的遗传和环境原因的多学科研究( GABRIEL) 高级研究] 中, 研究者采用培养技术对儿童房间落尘样本的细菌和真菌的分类进行了评估。结果: 在这两项研究中, 居住于农场的儿童哮喘与特应性体质的患病率较低, 并且他们比对照组儿童暴露于更多种类的环境微生物中。相反, 微生物暴露的多样性与哮喘发生危险呈负相关[ PARSIFAL 研究的比值比为0. 62; 95% 可信区间( CI) 为0. 44 ～0. 89; GABRIELA 研究的比值比为0. 86; 95% CI 为0. 75 ～0. 99] 。此外, 存在某种更为局限的暴露也与哮喘发生危险呈负相关; 这包括暴露于真菌中曲菌属中的某些物种( 经校正的比值比为0. 37; 95% CI 为0. 18 ～0. 76) , 以及暴露于多种细菌物种, 包括单核细胞增生李斯特菌、芽孢杆菌属物种、棒杆菌属物种和其他细菌( 经校正的比值比为0. 57,95% CI 为0. 38 ～0. 86) 。结论: 居住于农场的儿童比参照组儿童有更大范围的微生物暴露, 这种暴露解释了哮喘与成长在农场之间呈负相关关系的本质部分。【述评】哮喘发病机制的卫生学说认为在儿童时期接触大量的抗原能减少成年后哮喘的发病率, 主要机制是在人体免疫系统发育的过程中接触抗原可诱导免疫耐受, 此学说主要基于流行病学调查得出的结论。本研究采用分子生物学的方法研究儿童时期微生物暴露对哮喘发病率的影响, 结果证实微生物暴露的程度与哮喘发病呈负相关, 进一步证实了哮喘发病的卫生学说, 同时表明环境因素在哮喘发病中具有重要意义, 并提示儿童在发育过程中尽量接触多种抗原对减少成人过敏性疾病具有一定意义。
Objective To investigate the way to reconstruct bone scaffold afterremoval of giant benign bone tumor in extremities of children. Methods From June 1995 to October 2000, 6 cases of benign bone tumor were treated, aged 614 years. Of 6 cases, there were 4 cases of fibrous hyperplasia of bone, 1 case of aneurysmal bone cyst and 1 case of bone cyst; these tumors were located in humerus (2 cases), in radius (1 case), in femur (2 cases) and in tibia(1 case), respectively. All patients were given excision of subperiosteal affected bone fragment, autograft of subperiosteal free fibula(4-14 cm in length) and continuous suture of in situ periosteum; only in 2 cases, humerus was fixed with single Kirschner wire and external fixation of plaster. Results After followed up 18-78 months, all patients achieved bony union without tumor relapse. Fibula defect was repaired , and the function of ankle joint returned normal. ConclusionAutograft of subperiosteal free fibula is an optimal method to reconstruct bone scaffold after excision of giant benign bone tumor in extremities of children.
ObjectiveTo analyze and summarize the clinical and video EEG (VEEG) characteristics of tuberous sclerosis (TSC) with epilepsy.MethodsClinical data of 30 children with TSC who met the revised diagnostic criteria of TSC in 2012 from Jan. 2016 to May 2019 in Zhengzhou Children’s Hospital were collected, including 29 children with epileptic seizures. The characteristics of skin lesions, imaging, seizures and long-term VEEG were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsThe mean age was (2.88 ± 2.64), 12 males and 18 females, 1 case of lumbar acid as the first symptom, 29 cases with epilepsy as the first symptom, the incidence of epilepsy is high, and the onset age is less than 1 year old; TSC can cause different degrees of cognitive impact; depigmentation or milk coffee spots are the most common skin changes in young children; TSC with infantile spasm has a high incidence; children younger than 10 years old may have lesions of other organs except nervous system lesions. However, the incidence of other organ lesions was relatively low. Most of TSC children with epilepsy were accompanied by abnormal EEG discharge.ConclusionThe clinical characteristics of TSC with epileptic seizures are various, and early diagnosis is of great significance.
Four children having the main features of limp, pain in the hip, limitation of motion and external rotation of the affected limb going through MRI assessment, surgical exploration of the affected hip and the responses to various methods of treatment. It was found that the impingement of synovium in between the femoral head and the acetabulum was the chief pathology. The nomenclature, classification and clinical importance, pathogenesis and the differential diagnosis were diseussed. This specific group of patients were given under the nomenclature as specific type of transient synovitis of hip in children-intraaticular synovial impingement type.
Objective To compare the clinical effect between high flow rate modified ultrafiltration （HMUF） and conventional modified ultrafiltration（CMUF）, and the effect on hemodynamic data and inflammatory mediators. Methods Forty children were divided into two groups with random number table, HMUF group and CMUF group, 20 cases each group. Hematocrit （HCT） and hemodynamic changes were recorded and the concentration of tumor necrosis factor （TNF） and interleukin 6 （IL-6） were measured. Results The operations were done uneventfully with moderate hypothermia cardiopulmonary bypass in 40 patients. Duration of ultrafiltration of HMUF group （7.83±0. 75 min） was less than that of CMUF group （13.86±1.95 min, P〈0.01）. The volumes ultrafiltrated of HMUF group （440.00±91.86ml） was more than that of CMUF group （372.22±56.52ml, P〈0.01）. There are no significant differences about the hemodynamic data, HCT, TNF and IL-6 between two groups. Conclusion The HMUF is safe and efficient,when it was used after pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass, the duration of ultrafiltration can be shortened significantly.
目的 探讨儿童甲状腺功能亢进症的治疗措施及临床效果。 方法 对入选的200例儿童甲状腺功能亢进症患儿给予甲巯咪唑0.5~1.0 mg/(kg•d)、盐酸普萘洛尔0.3 mg/(kg•d)治疗，2~4个月待患儿甲状腺功能基本恢复正常后，将患儿随机分为对照组(n=100)及研究组(n=100)。对照组只给予甲巯咪唑治疗，研究组则继续给予甲巯咪唑并联合左甲状腺素钠治疗。比较治疗前和治疗后6个月、1年及2年患儿甲状腺体积，FT4、FT3和TSH水平，观察治疗后2年不良反应发生情况。 结果 与对照组比较，治疗6个月后研究组甲状腺体积明显降低(Plt;0.05)，药物性甲状腺功能减退症发生率低(Plt;0.05)，不良反应少。 结论 两种治疗措施均能有效改善儿童甲状腺功能亢进症的高代谢症候群，使FT3、FT4及TSH水平恢复正常，甲状腺体积明显降低，但甲巯咪唑联合左甲状腺素钠治疗能更安全有效地控制甲状腺肿大及药物继发性甲状腺功能减退症，并能减少症状复发。
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of high-dose hormone pulse therapy on children with epilepsy and sleep status epilepticus.Methods60 children were randomly divided into control group (30 cases) and study group (30 cases) according to the admission sequence. The control group was treated with antiepileptic drugs (according to clinical electroencephalogram or syndrome), and the study group was treated with methylprednisolone sodium succinate [20 mg/(kg·d) × 3 days, once a month, for 6 months]. During the period, antiepileptic drugs were taken normally. After 6 months, the curative effect, abnormal EEG and side effects were compared.ResultsAfter 6 months of treatment, the clinical conditions of the two groups were significantly improved (effective rate: control group: 19/30 vs. study group: 26/30), and the clinical efficacy (26/30) and EEG improvement (26/30) of the study group were better than those of the control group (P<0.05), weight gain can be improved by diet control and reasonable exercise.ConclusionHormone pulse therapy for children with epilepsy and sleep status epilepticus in the control of clinical seizures and improve the effect of abnormal EEG, recommended.
ObjectivesTo systematically review the clinical characteristics of pregnant females and juveniles (<18 years) with Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), so as to provide evidence for epidemic prevention and treatment of COVID-19.MethodsPubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect studies on clinical characteristics of pregnant females and juveniles with MERS from inception to February 15th, 2020. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed risk of bias of included studies. Descriptive analysis was then performed.ResultsA total of 12 studies involving 12 pregnant females, and 21 juveniles with MERS were included. The results of studies showed that the male to female ratio of juveniles patients was 1 to 1.63 and the age ranged from 9 months to 16 years. The primary transmission route of juveniles cases was family contact infection, accounting for 57.1% (12/21). Asymptomatic juveniles accounted for 57.1% (12/21), and the most common symptoms were fever, cough and shortness of breath. Some patients exhibited gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea. The positive rate of MERS-CoV RCT test was 100.0% (21/21). As for chest radiograph, 73.7% (14/19) cases showed no obvious lesions, and juveniles with lesions were mainly bilateral. 3 patients with underlying diseases developed severe cases, the mortality was 9.5% (2/21). The age range of pregnant women was 27 to 39, with the gestational age from 6 to 38 weeks. The primary transmission route for pregnant women was nosocomial infection, accounting for 57.1% (4/7). Fever, cough, shortness of breath were common manifestations, while abdominal pain occurred in two female patients. The positive rate of MERS-CoV RCT test was 100.0% (11/11). The chest radiograph findings were mainly bilateral lesions, accounting for 55.6% (5/9). 80.0% of whole pregnant females were severe cases (8/10), 4 of them died, with the 50.0% (4/8) mortality in severe pregnant cases. Among the infective pregnant women, 2 were stillborn and 10 were delivered, of which 1 died due to premature delivery. The remaining 9 surviving newborns were not infected with MERS-CoV and there was no evidence of mother-to-child transmission.ConclusionsThe clinical symptoms of MERS in juveniles are similar to those in adults, however, considerably milder. Severe case rate is higher in patients with underlying diseases. However, maternal infections could be much severe with higher mortality. It is particularly important to strengthen the management of pregnant females, especially prevent hospital infection. There is still no evidence of MERS-CoV mother-to-child transmission.
