ABSTRACT
A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of a case of intellectual developmental disorders with dysmorphic facies and behavioral abnormalities admitted in the Department of Neurology and Endocrinology, Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University in February 2020.The proband was a 3 years and 6 months old boy, who was hospitalized because of " convulsions for more than 1 year" . Physical examination revealed facial deformities.Gesell developmental schedule showed that adaptive and gross motor behavior development was severely retarded, and fine motor, language and personal-social behavior development was moderately retarded.Brain magnetic resonance imaging suggested schizencephaly.Electroencephalogram results indicated extensive discharges mainly in bilateral anterior head areas, and one myoclonic seizure was detected.Gene detection results disclosed the pathogenic variation of the proband, which was a heterozygote mutation (c.2480_2484del) in FBXO11 gene.High-throughput sequencing technology increases the possibility of identifying potential genetic mutations as the cause of disease.Patients with recurrent seizures, multi-malformation and general developmental delays should undergo gene detection in time to clarify the etiology.This technique can guide prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling.

ABSTRACT
The data of a child with early-onset epileptic encephalopathy in Qilu Children′s Hospital of Shandong University in February 2020 were analyzed retrospectively.The child was a 4-month-old girl, who was admitted to the hospital because of " repeated convulsions for 4 months and feeding difficulty for 1 month" at the age of 4 months.The patient suffered from epilepsy 1 day after birth, and the epilepsy type was tonic seizures.Severe developmental retardation was observed in the patient.Electroencephalogram showed multifocal discharge, which then turned to hypsarrhythmia.The cranial imaging was negative.Feeding difficulty occurred at the age of 3 months.The genetic testing revealed a de novo heterozygous missense mutation in the FGF12 gene (Arg114His). Various antiepileptic drugs and ketogenic diet were ineffective.There was no attack in 2 months after adding Phenytoin.The child could eat on her own after seizure control, but there was no progress in intellectual and motor development.Mutations in the FGF12 gene lead to poor prognosis of early-onset epileptic encephalopathy, and the seizures are difficult to control.Sodium ion channel blockers such as Phenytoin should be used as soon as possible.
ABSTRACT
Objective This study aimed to examine temporal trends in all cancer-eliminated life expectancy and potential years of life lost (PYLL) in Kunshan city, Jiangsu province, between 1981 and 2015. Methods Data were collected from the vital records of Kunshan city. Cancer-eliminated life expectancy and PYLL were calculated by sex,and the Chinese population from the year 2000 was used to calculate age-standardized PYLL. Estimated annual percentage changes (APC) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to examine temporal trends in increased cancer-eliminated life expectancy. Results Between 1981 and 2015,there was a significant decrease in age-standardized PYLL among males (APC=-2.31%, 95% CI:-2.51% to-2.11%) and females (APC=-1.91%, 95% CI:-2.26% to-1.56%). However, an increase was found in cancer-eliminated life expectancy in males and females, from 3.23 to 4.72 years in males(APC=2.42%,95% CI:1.64% to 3.20%)and from 1.10 to 2.94 years in females(APC=3.91%, 95% CI: 1.78% to 6.04%). Conclusion An overall decrease in age-standardized PYLL was observed when all cancers were considered,and an increase in cancer-eliminated life expectancy was found, suggesting that premature deaths due to cancers were reduced gradually. However, the negative effects of cancer on the health of the whole population have not been fully alleviated.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical outcomes of three-dimensional navigation assisted percutaneous sacroiliac screw combined with external fixator for the treatment of the Tile B and C pelvic fractures. Methods A retrospective case-control study was conducted on 43 patients with Tile B and C pelvic fractures from January 2014 to June 2017. There were 25 males and 18 females, with an average age of 44.6 years (range, 21-68 years). According to the AO typing, there were seven cases of type B1, 13 type B2, six type B3, 15 type C1, and two type C2. The duration from injury to operation ranged from 4 to 14 days (mean, 8.0 days). Based on the operation method, patients were divided into Group A (n=20) treated by three dimensional navigation assisted percutaneous sacroiliac screw combined with external fixator, and Group B (n = 23) treated by anterior open reduction and plate internal fixation. The two groups were compared in terms of operation time, blood loss, reduction quality by Matta score, Majeed pelvic fractures function score at the last follow up, and postoperative complications. Results All patients were followed up for 6-24 months (mean, 12.7 months). The operation time [(27.5 ± 1.6) minutes] and intraoperative bleeding [(26.3 ± 3.9) ml] in Group A were significantly less than those in Group B [(166.2±3.6)minutes and (128.0 ± 8.9) ml] (＜0.05). There were no significant differences between Group A and Group B in the good and excellent rate of reduction [85％ (17/20) vs.91％ (21/23)], and Majeed score [90％ (18/20) vs.91％ (21/23)](P＞0.05). The incidence of postoperative complication in Group A (10％) was significantly lower than that in Group B (39％) (P ＜0.05). Conclusion Compared with open reduction and plate internal fixation, three dimensional navigation assisted percutaneous sacroiliac screw combined with external fixator is preferable to unstable pelvic fractures due to the shorter operation time, less intraoperative bleeding, and fewer postoperative complications.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study effect of general anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia on analgesia and microcirculation in patients undergoing total hysterectomy. Methods 92 patients of total hysterectomy who received therapy were selected, according to random number table,those patients were divided into the observation group (n=42) and the control group (n=48),the observation group received general anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia, the control group were only given general anesthesia.The operation condition, hemodynamics and stress response before anesthesia(T0), at tracheal intubation(T1), after pneumoperitoneum 10min(T2), after surgery(T3), at extubation(T4) were compared,and postoperative pain (VAS) score was compared. Results There was no significant difference in operation time and fluid volume between the two groups. In the control group,the levels of mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) at the time of T1, T2, T3 were significantly increased(P<0.05), the levels of MAP and HR at the time of T1,T2,T3 in the observation group were lower than the control group(P<0.05). The cortisol (Cor), epinephrine (E), norepinephrine (NE) at the time of T1,T2,T3,T4 in the observation group were lower than the control group(P<0.05). Two groups of patients in the postoperative 12h, 6h, the VAS scores in the resting state and cough state were higher than the postoperative 1h(P<0.05),but the scores in the observation group were lower than the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion General anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia is well for total hysterectomy,which can maintain hemodynamic stability during surgery, relieve stress reaction, alleviate postoperative pain, it is worthy of application and promotion.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the temporal trend of cancer death rates in different age and the influencing factors in Kunshan,Jiangsu province,1981 to 2015.Methods Data were derived from cancer rcgistry and vital registration system.The Chinese age structure in 2000 was used to calculate age-standardized death rates (ASR),and annual percentage changes (APC) and 95％ confidence interval (Cl) were used to estimate the temporal trend of cancer death rates.Difference decomposition method was applied to analyze the contribution of demographic and non-demographic factors for the change of cancer mortality.Results Between 1981 and 2015,the age standardized all cancers death rate decreased from 162.49 to 93.74 per 100,000 (APC=-l.6％,95％ CI:-1.8％--1.5％).However,the ASR for those aged 70 years or above was stable over time (APC=0.2％,95％ CI:-0.2％-0.5％),whereas aged 30-69 years was decreased from 240.01 in 1981 to 93.28 in 2015 (APC=-2.8％,95％ CI:-3.0％--2.6％).In addition,the proportion of leading cancers were changed obviously.The proportion of lung cancer increased from 1981 to 2015,while gastric cancer,liver cancer,esophageal cancer and colorectal cancer decreased.Compared with the crude cancer mortality in 1993,the effect of the demographic and non-demographic factors to the increased death rate in 2015 were 308.93％ and-208.93％,respectively.Conclusion The ASR death rate of all cancers was decreasing,and the rate in those aged 30 to 69 years decreased significantly,whereas stable in those aged 70 years or above.The effect of demographic characteristics on cancer mortality was significantly greater than that of non-demographic characteristics.

ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To estimate the dose response relationship between cigarette smoking and hypertension in men based on restricted cubic spline method.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Under the proportion to the population size, 38 520 subjects were randomly selected from May to August 2012 with cluster sampling method in urban and rural areas of Kunshan, China.Each participant received face-to-face interview with the standardized questionnaire, and physical examination.Restricted cubic spline was employed to estimate the dose response relation of cigarette smoking on the risk of hypertension.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The overall prevalence of cigarette smoking was 22.6% (8 691/38 520), prevalence of cigarette smoking in men was 46.1% (8 499/18 454). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that current smoking (OR = 1.16, 95%CI:1.05-1.28) and previous cigarette smoking (OR = 1.32, 95%CI:1.07-1.63) were associated with hypertension after adjusted confounding factors (age, sex, body mass index, education, family income per month, urban or rural areas, physical activity and physical exercise) in men. After further adjusting drinking status, only previous cigarette smoking was associated with hypertension (OR = 1.28, 95%CI:1.04-1.58). The restricted cubic spline model indicated a linear dose-response relation between hypertension and cigarette smoking per day in men (non-linearity test P = 0.604 1).However, a non-linear dose response relation was found between duration of smoking (non-linearity test P < 0.000 1), smoking index (non-linearity test P = 0.009 9) and hypertension.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Long-term and heavy cigarette smoking is associated with hypertension in men.</p>

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of iliofemoral endovascular therapy for the treatment of chronic ischemia of lower extremities due to arterial atherosclerosis. Methods During the period of September 2005-January 2009 percutaneous endovascular angioplasty and stent implantation were performed in 15 consecutive patients with CTA-proved chronic occlusive iliofemoral artery disease. The patients included 11 males and 4 females with a mean age of (72.1 ± 5.9) years (ranged from 61 to 82 years). Before the procedure, all patients underwent clinical and imaging assessments, including Fontaine classification, ankle-brachial pressure index (ABI), and lower limb computed tomography angiography (CTA). According to the length, morphology and location of the occlusive segment, different types of stents were employed together with pereutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) to treat the occluded lilac or superficial femoral artery. At the end of the procedure, distal angiogram was performed to assess the success of the procedure and to exclude thromboembolism or dissection complications. After PTA, the residual stenosis < 30% and/or pressure gradient < 10 mmHg were defined as technical success. Clinical success was identified when patient's clinical symptoms were improved by one or more grade according to Fontaine classification. Results Technical success was totally achieved in all patients with no occurrence of complication. Recanalization of the occluded artery was performed preferably by retrograde ipsilateral femoral artery approach in 5 patients and by contralateral access using the crossover aorta technique in 10 patients. PTA was performed in all patients after stent release to open the occluded vessel to its normal diameter. The mean length of the lilac arterial segment covered with 8 stents was (7.6 ± 1.4) cm (ranged from 6 cm to 10 cm). The mean diameter ± SD of the iliac stents was 9.5 mm ± 1.4 mm (ranged from 8 mm to 12 mm). The mean length of 5 superficial artery implanted stents was (4.5 ± 1.1) cm (ranged from 4 cm to 6 cm). The mean ABI before treatment and six months after treatment was 0.64 (range 0.41 to 0.89) and 0.76 (range 0.50 to 0.95), respectively. The difference in ABI between pre-interventional and post-interventional procedure was statistically significant (t = -4.64, P < 0.01). Clinical improvements according to Fontaine classification were obtained in all patients, in whom technical success was achieved (100%). Conclusion Endovascular interventional procedure is a safe and effective treatment for iliofemoral arterial occlusive disease due to arterial atherosclerosis. PTA combined with subsequent stent implantation can well improve the patient's quality of life as well as the hemodynamics of lower extremities, which is very important for preserving the diseased limb for a long period of time.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To assess mental health literacy of urban porpulation and its related factors.Method:Subjects were sampled from 3 cities in the east(Wuxi),central(Changsha)and west(Xi'an)part of China.Subjects were asked to answer a questionnaire which included 5 vignettes of mental disorders and related questions.Results:54.1% of 7309 participants correctly recognized the cases of mania,but only 11.2% correctly recognized the cases of schizophrenia with negative symptoms.The average rate of correct recognition for all 5 vignettes was 41.7%.Participants with higher education level recognized the vignettes more correctly.Ill-character,stress and the pressure from work were reported to be the 3 main reasons of mental disorders.There were strong negative attitudes toward psychiatric patients,especially those with schizophrenia and mania.Conclusion:While the rate of correct recognition of mental disorders is acceptable when compared with similar studies in other parts of the world,negative attitude toward patients with mental disorder is still prevalent in China.
