ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the adverse effects of high temperature on emergency admissions of children during the summer in Beijing.@*Methods@#Child emergency admissions was collected from 30 hospitals in Beijing during the summer of 2016-2018, as well as data related to meteorological factors and air pollutant concentrations. A generalized linear model was used to analyze the association between the daily mean temperature and emergency admissions of children due to total non accidental diseases, circulatory diseases, and respiratory diseases during the summer in Beijing.@*Results@#During the summer of 2016 to 2018 in Beijing, the daily mean temperature was (24.06±3.59)℃, and the daily mean relative humidity was (65.08±17.45)%. Every 1 ℃ increase in the daily mean temperature on the day of exposure had a significant effect on emergency admissions of children, aged 0-14 years old, due to total non accidental diseases and respiratory diseases in Beijing, such that the risk of emergency admissions increased by 0.21, 0.64 times, respectively. The effect of high temperature on emergency admissions due to circulatory diseases was not significant. High temperature had inconsistent effects on emergency admissions of children from different age groups. Among them, the largest increase in the risk of emergency admissions due to total non accidental diseases was observed among children aged 5-9 years old, while children aged 0-4 were vulnerable to emergency admissions for respiratory diseases, and emergency admissions for circulatory diseases were the highest among children aged 10-14.@*Conclusion@#High temperature had a significant effect on emergency admissions of children during the summer in Beijing. Pediatric respiratory diseases are sensitive diseases that are associated with a high temperature in summer, and greater attention should be given to this issue.
ABSTRACT
With the deepening of research on intestinal microbiota, more and more evidence indicates that intestinal microbiota affects various physiological processes of the human body and is closely related to tumors, Researches show that intestinal microbiota can promote tumorigenesis, enhance the antitumor effect of chemotherapeutic drugs, mediate chemoresistance, regulate the effect of immunotherapy, and reduce intestinal damage during radiotherapy. The phenomena and mechanisms revealed in the above studies are incredible. Based on the above correlation, the genus found in the study are expected to become the new target of tumor prevention and treatment. The evidence obtained from current animal and clinical trials is refreshing, however, in view of the complexity of human intestinal microecology and the limitations of human understanding, its potential role in tumorigenesis and treatment still needs systematic and in-depth research.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the application effect of interventional surgery in the treatment of facial superficial mixed hemangi-oma through the laryngeal mask ventilation under desflurane anesthesia. Methods In the period from February 2016 to April 2017 in our hospital 118 cases of facial superficial hemangioma under interventional surgery in infants( aged 3-15 months) were retrospectively analyzed;according to the difference of anesthesia,they were divided into control group (51 cases) and observation group (67 cases);the two groups of children were administered sufentanil anesthesia, in the control group laryngeal mask airway under propofol, the observation group was giv-en under laryngeal mask airway inhalation of desflurane maintenance. Then was compared the difference in anesthesia monitoring indexes of the two groups, such as mean arterial pressure ( MAP) , saturation of pulse oximetry ( SpO2 ) , heart rate ( HR) , end-tidal carbon dioxide ( ETCO2 ) , laryngeal mask removal time, loss of consciousness time, laryngeal mask removal time, consciousness recovery duration, clinical efficacy and intraoperative and postoperative adverse reactions difference. Results For the control group, the laryngeal mask removal time and consciousness recovery time length were significantly longer than those of the observation group and the difference was statistically signifi-cant (P<0. 05);after anesthesia induction, the laryngeal mask insertion time, operation start time and laryngeal mask removal time, MAP and HR of the observation group and the control group were lower than those before anesthesia induction, and MAP and HR of control group were lower than those of the observation group and the deference was statistically significant (P<0. 05). The total efficiency of the observa-tion group (97. 02％) was significantly higher than the control group (88. 24％), the adverse reaction rate (23. 52％) of children in the control group was significantly higher than that (7. 46％) of those in the observation group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0. 05). Conclusion In the infant facial superficial hemangioma interventional surgery, laryngeal mask airway can be used for anesthe-sia maintenance for desflurane effect and clinical curative effect in the effective protection of anesthesia at the same time, but also can reduce the risk of anesthesia and intraoperative blood pressure fluctuations, especially in the stabilization of hemodynamics of the patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate different anesthetic effects of remifentanil, sufentanil, and fentanyl in the pediatric tonsilloadenoiectomy. Methods Totally 210 cases of tonsilloadenoiectomy enrolled in our institution from March 2016 to February 2017 were selected as study objects. Children were divided randomly into three groups, with 70 cases in each group, including remifentanil group, sufentanil group, and fentanyl group. Child patients in the remifentanil group were induced by remifentanil with 1μg/kg, and were maintained with 0.1μg · kg-1 · min-1. Remifentanil was withdrawn 5 minutes before the end of operation. Child patients in the sufentanil group were induced by sufentanil with 0.2 μg/kg, and were maintained with 0.1 μg · kg-1 · h-1. Sufentanil was withdrawn 30 minutes before the end of operation. Child patients in the fentanyl group were induced by fentanyl with 2μg/kg, and were maintained with 1μg·kg-1·h-1. Fentanyl was withdrawn 30 minutes before the end of operation. During the anesthesia, the indexes of heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and oxygen saturation were recorded in the three groups. The time of eyelash reflex disappearance, pain reflex disappearance, postoperation eye open, and extubation were also recorded. The incidences of perioperative adverse events were compared between the three groups. Results HR and MAP at time points of anesthesia induction, 5 minutes after anesthesia induction, and 10 minutes after anesthesia induction were higher in the remifentanil group than those in the other two groups (P<0.05). And the differences of the above indexes at all time points between sufentanil group and fentanyl group showed no statistical significance (P>0.05). The time of pain reflex disappearance, postoperation eye open, and extubation were higher in the fentanyl group than those in the other two groups (P<0.05). And the differences of the above indexes between sufentanil group and remifentanil group showed no statistical significance (P>0.05). Incidence rate of postoperative agitation was higher in the remifentanil group than that in the other two groups (P<0.01). And the difference of incidence rate of postoperative agitation between the sufentanil group and fentanyl group showed no statistical significance ( P>0.05). Conclusion The effect of sufentanil is better than remifentanil and fentanyl in the anesthesia of pediatric tonsilloadenoiectomy, with fast effect, fast analepsia, stable haemodynamics, and low incidence rate of postoperative agitation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of oral alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) supplement on brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV),supine systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in overweight/obese individuals.An 8-week double-blind,randomized,placebo-controlled and cross-over trial with a 4-week washout between cross-over periods.Methods Sixty-three males and 40 females aged 22-57 years old who met the inclusion criteria as (1) Han ethnicity;(2) 20-60 years old;(3) BMI≥25 kg/m2 and having at least one of the following risk factors:borderline hypertension (130 mm Hg≤SBP＜140 mm Hg and/or 85 mm Hg≤supine DBP＜90 mm Hg),dyslipidemia(fasting total cholesterol≥5.2 mmol/L or HDL-C＜1.04 mmol/L),or impaired fasting glucose (6.1 mmol/L≤fasting glucose＜7.0 mmol/L);(4)Not on any antioxidant gender.Group 1 received 8 weeks ALA (1200 mg/day) followed by 4-week washout period and followed by another 8 weeks placebo;while Group 2 received 8 weeks placebo (1200 mg/day)followed by 4-week washout period,and followed by ALA treatment for 8 weeks.BaPWV and supine blood pressure were measured at the beginning of 1st phase and 2nd phase and at the endpoint of the whole trial.Mixed effect linear regression model was performed to compare the change of baPWV and supine blood pressure between ALA group and placebo group.Results BaPWV decreased -33.03 cm/s ± 130.70 cm/s for ALA group and increased 5.66 cm/s ± 139.89 cm/s for placebo group,supine systolic blood pressure decreased -4.09 mm Hg±9.18 mm Hg for ALA group and -2.32 mm Hg±8.16 mm Hg for placebo group.Supine diastolic blood pressure decreased -1.29 mm Hg ± 6.55 mm Hg for ALA group and -0.48 mm Hg±6.63 mm Hg for placebo group.These three mix-effect models did not show significant effect of ALA treatment after adjustment on baseline values,sex,age,treatment sequence or period.Conclusion The current trial did not provide evidence that oral intake of ALA for 8 weeks had significant effects on lowering baPWV,supine systolic blood pressure or supine diastolic blood pressure.
