ABSTRACT
To investigate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic bougie dilation and stent implantation for pediatric caustic esophageal stenosis. Clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of children with pediatric caustic esophageal stenosis from October 2009 to December 2019 at Department of Gastroenterology, the Seventh Medical Center of PLA General Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 50 caustic esophageal stenosis cases were enrolled, among whom, 94.0% (47/50) received conservative treatment before sending to our hospital. Thirty-six (72.0%) of them accidently ingested caustic substance of alkali and 22.0% (11/50) of them accidently ingested caustic substance of acid. Forty-six children (92.0%) who ingested caustic agents were younger than 7 years old. The stenosis was more common in the upper esophagus, accounting for 64.0% (32/50). Twenty-seven cases (54.0%) underwent simple bougie dilation and 16 cases (32.0%) underwent bougie dilation combined with stent treatment. All 50 children underwent a total of 1 260 expansions. The numbers of simple dilations and dilations combined with stent implantation were 37.8±26.2, 20.9±12.6 respectively with significant difference ( t=2.453, P=0.021). Among them, 2 cases (4.0%) underwent surgery, 5 cases (10.0%) underwent surgery combined with dilatation and stent implantation. The stenosis diameter widened significantly after treatment (1.1±0.2 cm VS 0.2±0.1 cm, t=23.004, P<0.001), and the Stooler grade of dysphagia improved significantly (grade 3.5±0.5 VS 1.2±0.7, t=19.925, P<0.001). Perforation occurred in only 1 patient, who was cured by conservative treatment with stent implantation. The total effective rate was 100.0% (50/50) and the satisfaction rate was 98.0% (49/50). Endoscopic bougie dilation and bougie dilation combined with stent implantation is safe and effective for pediatric caustic esophageal stenosis. Combination with stent implantation can reduce the number of dilation times.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To propose a strategy for detecting early gastric cancer (EGC) under high-definition gastroscopy.Methods:Data of 469 lesions of EGC or high grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIN) confirmed by pathology detected at The Seventh Medical Center of Chinese People′s Liberation Army General Hospital from January 2013 to January 2020 were collected and gastroscopic images were re-interpreted. The Helicobacter pylori ( HP) infection status, lesion location in the area of atrophy or at the cardia, morphological type of lesions, lesions with/without clear or regular boundary, and lesion color were analyzed for morphological characteristics of EGC and HGIN under high-definition gastroscopy. Results:Among the 469 lesions of EGC or HGIN, HP-negative lesions accounted for 2.1% (10/469) and ulcerative lesions for 7.7% (36/469). Among non-ulcerative lesions of suspected HP infection ( n=423), there were 28 lesions in the cardia outside the atrophic area and 82.1% (23/28) were reddish under white light imaging. There were 29 non-cardiac lesions outside the atrophic area and 82.8% (24/29) were white or showed clear border under white light imaging. Inside the atrophic area, there were 73 elevated lesions, 95.9% (70/73) of which had clear border or irregular depression on the top. There were 293 flat/depressed lesions in the atrophic area, and 90.8% (266/293) had irregular border or were brown under narrow band imaging. Conclusion:According to the status of HP infection, the location and morphological category of lesions, above endoscopic features can be used as clues to detect EGC and HGIN.
ABSTRACT
Objective Based on the screening of respiratory viruses in children with respiratory tract infection in Maoming,the viral pathogens in children with respiratory tract infection were investigated,the epidemic trend of children with respiratory tract infection in the region was grasped,so as to provide the basis for the disease diagnosis of children with respiratory tract infection.Methods With direct immunofluorescence,7 common respiratory viruses in nasopharyngeal secretions were detected in 13 148 patients with respiratory infection in our hospital,including adenovirus (ADV),respiratory syncytial virus (RSV),influenza virus A (FLUA),influenza virus B FLUB) and parainfluenza (PIV).Results In 13 148 cases,the respiratory virus positive were found in 3 308 cases,the total positive rate was 25.16％,the positive detection rate of RSV was the highest (17.39 ％),and the detection rate of respiratory virus has obvious seasonal characteristics,with the highest detection rate in the first quarter,and mainly concentrated in the population under the age of three.Conclusion RSV was the first of the 7 common respiratory viruses detected,and the virus infection was associated with age and season.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To investigate and analyze the cause of the cross infection of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) in ICU patients,and to apporach its preventive and control measures.METHODS Eiological inspection and sanitary monitoring have been done in ICU where there were two MRSA patients from June 6th,2008 to August 1st,2008.RESULTS MRSA has been detected on the hands of the ICU medical staff,on the bed-desks,on the switches of the vacuum extractor and gas supply unit on the wall,and in the NS for inhaling sputum.The separation rate were 37.5%,20.0%,54.5%,37.5%,87.5%.CONCLUSIONS ICU patients are prone to be infected with MRSA,which has a strong drug resistance and the infection is difficult to be treated.The cross infection can be prevented and controlled by rational administration,sterile operation and insulation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To determine the relationship between the content of microelement and the health of children.Methods Atomic absorption spectrometry,aas.Children were divided into 3 groups:physically weak group,minimal brain dysfunction(MBD) group and control group.Peripheral blood gathered from all the children.Put 40?l of blood sample into the specific reagent,detect the content of zinc(Zn),cuprum(Cu),ferret(Fe),calcium(Ca),magnesium(Mg),lead(Pb),cadmium(Cd).The result was compared between the 3 groups.Results Lack of Zn,Fe,Ca and Mg mostly be detected in physically weak group(P
