ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the main risk factors of hospital infection in children with hypospadias after operation and to formulate targeted nursing measures so as to provide accurate nursing strategies for effective prevention and control of hospital infection after operation. Methods Totally 383 children who underwent hypospadias surgery in the hospital from January 2016 to December 2017 were selected as the research objects. The clinical data of all cases were reviewed and sorted out. The hospital infection rate, infection site and main risk factors of hospital infection after operation were analyzed to formulate prevention strategies. Results 71 of 383 children suffered from hospital infection, and the incidence rate of hospital infection was 18.5% .The distribution of infection sites was: respiratory tract infection in 30 cases, accounting for 42.25% ;Urinary tract infection was found in 25 cases (35.21% ). Incision infection was found in 14 cases (19.72%).Gastrointestinal infection occurred in 2 cases (2.82%). Logistic multivariate analysis showed that age, length of hospital stay after operation were closely related to hospital infection. Conclusions The major risk factors for postoperative nosocomial infection in children with hypospadias are age and postoperative hospital stay.Nursing measures: The hospital stay of children after operation can be shortened as much as possible by reminding and standardizing the routine maintenance of urinary catheter and strengthening the cooperation between doctors and nurses through charts. Strict implementation of visiting and accompanying system, good environmental control, strengthening hand hygiene, standardization of preoperative skin preparation and other nursing measures are adopted to protect children to the greatest extent.

ABSTRACT
Kawasaki disease (KD),an acute systemic vasculitis with a predilection for Asian children,mainly affects infants and children under 5 years of age.They may develop coronary artery lesions(CAL) if not given treatment in time.Presently the standard therapy of Kawasaki disease is high dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)combined with oral aspirin,which reduces the incidence rates of coronary artery lesions to 3 ％-5％.However,some KD patients are resistant to IVIG therapy and they are at higher risk of developing coronary artery lesions than responders to IVIG therapy.Owing to the low sensibility of Kobayashi and Egami scoring system,exploring new biomarks such as genes and cytokines is necessary.A high sensitive scoring system based on clinical data should be established to predict IVIG nonresponders.Other therapeutic methods can be adopted for IVIG resistance patients.Predictors and scoring system of intravenous irnmunoglobulin resistance to KD are summarized in this article.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the acute phase expression of serum cytokines in children with Kawasaki disease (KD) and its association with coronary artery lesions (CALs). Methods Expression of 13 cytokines in serum of 104 KD patients including 11 cases with CALs and 74 febrile control cases admitted to the hospital from October 2016 to March 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Interleukin (IL)-8, IL-1, IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17A, IL-18, tumor necrotic factor-α and SCD25 (IL-2R) were declined significantly after intravenous immunoglobulin administration (IVIG) in KD patients (all P<0.05). Compared with the fever control group, Pre-IVIG, an IL-17A level ≥ 0.155 pg/mL had a sensitivity of 50% and 93.2% specificity for predicting KD; IL-18 level ≤ 15.43 pg/mL had a sensitivity of 71.2%, and the specificity was 54.1%; SCD25 (IL-2R) ≥ 29475.29 pg/mL had a 65.4% sensitivity and 81.1% specificity for predicting KD. Before IVIG treatment, the level of IL-10 was significantly lower in KD patients with CALs than in those without CALs. Conclusions Determination of various cytokines profile may be helpful for predicting the disease prognosis and targeting treatment strategies in patients with KD.
ABSTRACT
Objective To estimate help-seeking behavior among individual with overactive bladder (OAB) in type 2 diabetes mellitus and its influencing factors.Methods This was a cross-sectional survey with a representative sample of 133 patients with OAB in type 2 diabetes mellitus responded the questionnaires,including a self-designed Demographic Data Questionnaire,12-item Short-Form health survey questionnaire,Overactive Bladder Symptom Score,Patient Perception of Bladder Condition,Help-seeking Behavior Questionnaire.Results Among cases,21.8％(29/133) had seen a doctor for voiding problems.In the Logistic model,educational status,Charlson comorbidity index,glycosylated hemoglobin,and OAB symptom bother were found to be associated with help-seeking behavior,OR value(95％ confidence interval) were 3.158(1.511-6.599),2.537(1.327-4.849),0.631(0.430-0.926),1.655(1.126-2.434),P ＜0.01 or 0.05.Conclusions The help-seeking rate of OAB individuals in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients is low.Health care providers should understand the predictors of help-seeking behavior and take actions to improve patient's health care utilization and quality of life.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the distribution of inflam m atory cells and positive expression of P-se-lectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSG L-1) in infant brainstem tissue from hand-foot-m outh disease related fatal brainstem encephalitis. Methods Tw enty brainstem sam ples from infants suffered from brainstem en-cephalitis w ere collected as the experim ental group. Ten brainstem sam ples from infants died of non-brain diseases and injuries w ere collected as the control group. The distribution of inflam m atory cells and the expression of PSG L-1 in the tw o groups w ere exam ined by im m unohistochem ical m ethod. The characteristics of the positive cells w ere observed. Results In brainstem tissue of the experim ental group, there w ere sleeve infiltrations of inflam m atory cells around the vessels and in the glial nodule. Microglia was the m ost and following was neutrophils around the vessels and in the glial nodule. There was a significant statistical difference am ong m icroglias, neutrophils and lym phocytes (P<0.05). There was no sleeve infiltration in the control group. PSG L-1 protein was expressed w idely in inflam m atory cells in the experim ental group, especially in the inflam m atory cells around the vessels and in the glial nodule. B ut PSG L-1 positive staining could be observed significantly less in the control group com paring with the experim ental group (P<0.05). Conclusion Microglia is the m ain type of inflam m atory cells involved in the progress of the fatal disease. Moreover, PSG L-1 could participate in the pathogenesis of hand-foot-m outh disease related fatal brainstem encephalitis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of health belief model combined with PDCA circulation in preventing DVT of patients undergoing total hip replacement and total knee replacement.Methods Patients who met our inclusion criteria were randomly divided into the intervention group and the control group with 45 cases in each group.The patients in the control group received routine health education.In addition,the intervention group received health education based on health belief model combined with PDCA circulation besides the routine.The intervention results were compared between the two groups.Results The patients' mastery of DVT disease related knowledge,health belief and the implementation of preventive measures in the intervention group were significantly better than those of the control group one week after surgery.The score of the health belief,perceived susceptibility,perceived severity,perceived benefits of action and serf-efficacy in the intervention group were significantly superior to those of the control group.1 patient appeared blood stasis in the intervention group.However,in the control group,there were 2 patients with DVT and 6 patients with blood stasis.The effect of preventive measures in the intervention group was better than the control group.Conclusions Health education based on health belief model combined with PDCA circulation could effectively enhanced the patients' DVT disease related knowledge,health belief and the implementation of preventive measures,thereby reduce the risk of DVT and improve the patients' quality of life.
