ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To study the clinical features of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in children with neurogenic bladder (NB), and to provide a reference for its early diagnosis and treatment.@*METHODS@#Clinical data were collected from 26 children with NB and urinary tract infection who were admitted to the Department of Pediatric Nephrology from January 2014 to December 2019. According to the presence or absence of VUR, the children were divided into a VUR group with 11 children and a non-VUR group with 15 children. Clinical features were compared between the two groups.@*RESULTS@#Compared with the non-VUR group, the VUR group had a significantly higher proportion of children with non-@*CONCLUSIONS@#When NB children have the clinical manifestations of non-

Objective:To study the efficacy of integrative medicine on congenital muscular torticollis. Methods:From October, 2017 to September, 2019, 80 children with congenital muscular torticollis were divided into group 1 (n = 40) and group 2 (n = 40) according to different treatment schemes. Group 1 received comprehensive physiotherapy, including passive stretching, head control training, posture correction and family rehabilitation. Group 2 received Tuina in addition. Before and six months after treatment, the root mean square (RMS) of surface electromyography of bilateral sternocleidomastoid muscles in supine neutral position, neck rotation and stretch, and the range of motion of passive neck rotation and lateral flexion, and the angle of head deviation from the midline to the affected side were compared. Results:Before treatment, the RMS of sternocleidomastoid muscle in each position was lower in the affected side than in the healthy side (P < 0.01), and the range of motion of neck when lateral flexion to the healthy side and rotation to the affected side was less than that of the other side (P < 0.01) in both groups; however, no significant difference was found between two groups (P > 0.05). After treatment, the RMS of EMG of sternocleidomastoid muscle in each position, and the range of motion of neck when lateral flexion to the healthy side and rotation to the affected side improved (|t| > 3.290, P < 0.01) in both groups, and were better in group 2 than in group 1 (t > 2.401, P < 0.05); the angle of head deviation from the midline to the affected side significantly decreaed (t > 15.075, P < 0.001) in both groups, and was significantly less in group 2 than in group 1 (t = -4.971, P < 0.001). Conclusion:Integrative medicine is effective on infant with congenital muscular torticollis, which is superior to comprehensive physiotherapy only.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effects and safety of hemoperfusion(HP) therapy on tetramine poisoning in infants.Methods Thirty-five infants with tetramine poisoning were divided into two groups: HP group(n=18) and non HP group(n=17).The changes of blood tetramine concentration and clinical symptom improving of both groups after the treatment were observed together with the adverse effects of HP group.Results The average blood tetramine concentration of HP group was higher than that of non HP group(342.2?333.4 vs 117.9?50.8 ?g/L,P
