ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the diagnostic value of serum procalcitonin ,C‐reactive protein and white blood cell count in children with different diseases .Methods Retrospective analysis 94 cases of pathogenic infectious children from June 2013 to May 2014 in our hospital ,according to the results of pathogen detection was divided into bacterial infection 36 cases ,mycoplasma infec‐tion group 28 cases ,30 cases of viral infection ,detection and analysis serum PCT ,CRP and WBC levels .Results Bacterial infection group serum PCT ,CRP and WBC were (2 .41 ± 0 .94)ng/mL ,(47 .91 ± 18 .26)mg/L and (13 .18 ± 6 .03) × 109/L ,significantly higher than the mycoplasma infection and viral infection group (F=133 .4 ,F=60 .1 ,F=8 .5 ,P<0 .05);diagnosis of bacterial in‐fections ,PCT sensitivity and specificity were 92 .11% and 91 .05% ,positive and negative predictive value of 89 .84 % and 94 .01%were significantly higher than CPR and WBC ,Mycoplasma infection as the control group ,PCT ,CRP and WBC in the diagnosis of bacterial infections ,the area of under the ROC curves were 0 .816 ,0 .728 and 0 .614 ,respectively .Conclusion Serum PCT for the i‐dentification of bacterial infections has a high diagnostic value ,worth generalizing and applying .
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To evaluate the neurological function of cervicalspondylotic radiculopathy by somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) and provide an objective basis for selecting the best operation occasion. Methods 60 patients with C6 and C7 radiculopathies were divided into 3 groups according to the results of SEP: normal group (n=22), mildly abnormal group (n=30) and severely abnormal group (n=8). All the patients underwent anterior cervical decompression and fusion. They were assessed with Neck Disability Index (NDI) before and after treatment. Results The postoperative NDI scores of all the groups improved significantly (P<0.001), especially in the normal group.Conclusion SEP, which can reflect the severity of cervicalspondylotic radiculopathy objectively and predict prognosis.
