ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the influencing factors in children with chronicity immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), and to provide basis for judging the prognosis and treatment in children with ITP.@*METHODS@#The clinical data of children with ITP admitted to The Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University in the past 5 years were retrospectively analyzed and followed up for more than 1 year. According to the inclusion criteria, the eligible cases (328 cases in total) were selected and collected through medical record system retrieval, outpatient clinic and telephone follow-up. Independent influencing factors affecting the prognosis of children with ITP were obtained through single-factor and multi-factor logistic analysis, and their predictive value for the prognosis of ITP in children were evaluated.@*RESULTS@#Of 328 children with ITP, 208 were newly diagnosed with ITP (64%), 54 were persistent ITP (16%), 66 were chronic ITP (20%), and the remission rate within 1 year was 79.9%. The results of univariate analysis showed that, age, pre-morbidity history of infection and vaccination, antinuclear antibodies, initial absolute lymphocyte count（ALC） and treatment options were related to the prognosis of the children (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the history of infection and vaccination before onset, initial treatment options, and ALC at the time of initial diagnosis were independent factors affecting the prognosis of children with ITP (P<0.05). The time for platelet recovery to 100×10@*CONCLUSION@#The initial treatment plan combined with IVIG can reduce the occurrence of chronicity in children with ITP, and its efficacy is better than that of the single corticosteroids group (the platelet recovery time is shorter); history of preceding infection or vaccination, ALC at the time of initial diagnosis are independent factors affecting the prognosis of children with ITP, and the combination of the two shows a better predictive value for the prognosis.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore clinical characteristics and outcome of deep vein thrombosis(DVT) in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A tatol of 266 patients were diagnosed as ALL from January 1, 2010 to May 31, 2016. The clinical data of 12 cases of patients with DVT were retrospectively analyzed, 183 cases diagnosed before January 1, 2015 were received chemotherapy with the scheme of SCMC-05. The other cases were treated by the scheme of CCCG. All the patients received central venous catheter.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The DVT happened in 12 cases including 10 cases of limb DVT and 2 cases of intacranial venous sinus thrombosis. The DVT mostly occured in intermediate risk ALL patients, the infection and coagulopathy existed in most patients. They were treated with low molecular heparin(LWHP), among them 5 cases were given extubation; the thrombus disappeared in 6 cases after 1 week; the intracranial venous sinus thrombosis in 1 case did not obviously improved after 6 months of treatment. The ALL children with DVT were treated with LWHP when using L-ASP, as a result no thrombuses happened.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Centralvenous catheter and chemotherapeutic drugs were the major cause of DVT. Abnormal coagulation, infection, and risk stratification are another risk factors for thrombosis. ALL children thrombosis are benefited from LWHP prevention when using L-ASP again.</p>
