Résumé
In February 2022, the German Society of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine published the first Evidence-based Recommendations for the Treatment and Prevention of Non-specific Back Pain in Children and Adolescents, which provides clinical evidence and recommendations for the etiology, risk factors and diagnosis of back pain in children and adolescents, and the treatment and prevention suggestions on the non-specific back pain.Although the guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of non-specific low back pain have been launched in China, a specific description of back pain in children and adolescents is lacking.With regard to increasing incidence of low back pain in children and adolescents, and differences in term of the etiology, risk factors, diagnosis and treatment of back pain between children-adolescents and adults, this article aims to interpret the guidelines to provide references and guidance for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of back pain in children and adolescents.

Objective:To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Edinburgh visual gait score (EVGS-CN) for children with cerebral palsy.Methods:The EVGS-CN was established following international guidelines for translation and cross-cultural validation of health status questionnaires. Videos of 30 children with cerebral palsy were assessed independently by six raters (with different levels of experience in gait analysis) using the EVGS-CN. Inter- and intra- observer reliability were evaluated using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). The correlation analysis and group comparison were used to test the technique′s criteria-related validity, convergent validity, and discriminant validity.Results:The ICC values of the 17 items in the EVGS-CN ranged from 0.20 to 0.87 for inter-observer reliability, and from 0.41 to 0.90 for intra-observer reliability. Most items showed good inter- and intra-observer reliability among experienced raters, but only a moderate level when used by inexperienced raters. The EVGS-CN results were strongly correlated with those of physician rating scale (PRS) ( r=0.77, P≤0.001) and observational gait scale (OGS) ( r=-0.85, P≤0.001), moderately correlated with the total gross motor function measure-D/E (GMFM-D/E) score ( r=-0.55, P≤0.01), and strongly correlated with 10MWT times ( r=-0.69, P≤0.001) and timed up and go (TUG) times ( r=0.60, P≤0.001). Moreover, significant differences in average EVGS score were found between different gross motor function classification system (GMFCS) levels and between affected limbs on different sides. Conclusion:The EVGS-CN demonstrates satisfactory reliability and validity in evaluating children with cerebral palsy when it is used by an experienced or inexperienced rater.

ObjectiveTo observe the serum levels of IL-6,IL-10 and IL-1 in children with Kawasaki disease and its clinical significance.Methods38 childrey with of Kawasaki disease were selected as observction group,then selected 38 cases of normal children as control group.Serum IL-6,IL-10 and IL-1 levels were observed two groups.ResultsObservation group IL-6,IL-10 and IL-1 levels were higher(t =10.3877,15.1010,15.1243,all P＜0.05),acute phase of observation group IL-6,IL-10,IL-1,etc.levels were significantly higher than the sub-acute phase patients ( t =9.7594,11.6486,11.6622,all P ＜ 0.05 ) and control group ( t =11.7032,11.7718,11.8267,all P ＜0.05 ).48h apoptosis rate in the control group( 2.8 ± 0.8 )％ was significantly lower than in children with Kawasaki disease(38.3 ±7.9)％ (t =38.59,P ＜0.01 ).Platelets increased[ (464.0 ± 110.2) × 109/L] of the IL-1 level in children with Kawasaki disease(663 ±94)ng/L was significantly higher than those without elevated platelet [ (307.0 ±104.9) × 109 /L ] of children( 492 ± 92 ) ng/L ( t =13.1044,P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionThedetection of serum IL-6,IL-10 and IL-1 levels may aid clinical diagnosis of the condition of children with Kawasaki disease,complications and treatment,have important clinical significance.
