Thinking and countermeasure analysis of post education of military hygiene / 中华医学教育探索杂志

To adapt to the general educational requirements for military academies to prepare for victory under the new situation, the present paper proposed the overall thought of strengthening the post education for military hygiene through analyzing the main problems and causes existing in the current education, combined with the experience and practice of foreign military post education. Moreover, we combined the current situation and reality of post education in military medical universities, and analyzed the corresponding countermeasures from the aspects of teaching staff, course construction, information construction, teaching method and assessment model, expecting to provide guidance and help for better carrying out the post education of military hygiene in the future.

Analysis of a child with Verheij syndrome due to variant of PUF60 gene / 中华医学遗传学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the clinical phenotype and genetic variant in a child with Verheij syndrome (VRJS).@*METHODS@#A child who had presented at the Soochow University Affiliated Children's Hospital and Wujiang District Children's Hospital in July 2022 for "elevated scapula since early childhood" was selected as the study subject. Peripheral blood samples of the child and his parents were collected and subjected to whole exome sequencing. Candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing and bioinformatic analysis.@*RESULTS@#The child had manifested elevated scapulae, torticollis, neck asymmetry, facial dysmorphism, dispersed café-au-lait spots, limited mobility of upper limbs and shoulder joints, and intellectual disability. Sequencing revealed that he has harbored a de novo heterozygous c.405dupT (p.Ile136Tyrfs*4) variant of the PUF60 gene. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), this variant was classified as pathogenic (PVS1+PS2_moderate+PM2_supporting). Combined his clinical features and result of genetic testing, the child was diagnosed with VRJS due to variant of the PUF60 gene.@*CONCLUSION@#The clinical manifestations of VRJS include facial dysmorphism, intellectual disability, elevated scapulae, vertebral fusion, other skeletal malformations, without significant abnormalities of the heart, kidney, and eyes, which need to be distinguished from Klippel-Feil syndrome. Above finding has expended the mutation spectrum of the PUF60 gene and provided a reference for delineation of the genotype-phenotype correlation of the VRJS.

The role of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in children with community-acquired pneumonia / 中国医师进修杂志

Objective:To explore the role of Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) in hospitalized children with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in Suzhou.Methods:Pathogen data of 2 367 patients with bronchiolitis, bronchopneumonia, lobar pneumonia, and interstitial pneumonia were retrospectively analyzed from January 2017 to December 2018 in Children′s Hospital of Soochow University. The detected pathogens were MP, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenovirus (Adv), influenza A, B, parainfluenza virus (PIV) 1, 2 and 3, human metapneumovirus (hMPV), boca virus (HBoV) and bacteria.Results:The most common pathogen of bronchiolitis was RSV (34.9%, 249/713), followed by MP (15.8%, 113/713) and hMPV (11.4%, 85/713). The most common pathogen of bronchial pneumonia was Streptococcus pneumoniae (Sp, 14.8%, 180/1 220), followed by RSV (13.1%, 160/1 220) and MP (10.2%, 124/1 220). The most common pathogen of lobar pneumonia was MP (47.8%, 141/295), followed by Sp(12.9%, 38/295). The most common pathogen of interstitial pneumonia was MP (35.3%, 49/139), followed by RSV (23.0%, 32/139) and Adv (6.5%, 9/139). Compared with non-MP infections, children with MP infections were older, and had higher percentage of fever and less shortness of breath. The adjusted OR(95% CI) was 2.4 (1.1-3.5), 5.1 (3.2-10.4) and 0.2 (0.0-0.4), respectively. Conclusions:MP is the most common pathogen of lobar pneumonia and interstitial pneumonia and the second most common cause of bronchiolitis. MP infections are usually associated with older age, higher percentage of fever and less shortness of breath.

Reform of teaching system of military hygiene / 中华医学教育探索杂志

Military hygiene is one of compulsory courses for undergraduates majored in clinical medicine in military colleges. Aiming at the disconnection between theoretical and practical ability in the traditional teaching process and combining with professional features of military hygiene, teaching reform should give priority to curriculum standards, human resource construction, teaching content and method, teaching quality assessment and feedback system. Meanwhile, teaching idea of‘learning to use’ should be strengthened and teaching scheme in line with the actual needs of military health service security work should be put forward in order to provide new ideas for training military health personnel.

Diagnostic value of susceptibility-weighted imaging for intracranial cavernous hemangioma / 中华全科医师杂志

To explore the diagnostic value of susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) for intracranial cavernous hemangioma.The magnetic resonance sequences of SWI,conventional imaging (MRI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) were performed in 37 patients of intracranial cavernous hemangioma to compare their different imaging capacities.Among them,the number of lesions found on T1WI,T2WI,DWI and SWI sequences were 40,41,42 and 50 respectively.Thus SWI may detect regular MRI negative or smaller lesions of intracranial cavernous hemangioma.

Inferior petrosal sinus sampling in the diagnosis of adrenocorticotropin dependent Cushing syndrome with unknown orign / 中华放射学杂志

ObjectiveTo evaluate the value of inferior petrosal sinus sampling (IPSS) in the diagnosis of adreno-corticotropic hormone ( ACTH ) dependent Cushing syndrome ( CS ) with unknown origin. MethodsIPSS was carried out for the diagnosis of 16 cases with ACTH dependent CS who had not been identified after a series of dexamethasone suppression tests and radiological examinations. The ratio of inferior petrosal sinus/peripheral ACTH was assayed.The sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis of the Cushing disease were estimated. ResultsThe inferior petrosal sinus/peripheral ACTH ratio was over 2. 0 in 13 cases. Twelve cases underwent surgery with pathological diagnosis of pituitary ACTH adenoma, 1 patient relieved after γ knife treatment. The ratio was ＜ 2.0 in 3 cases including 2 pulmonary carcinoid and one pituitary ACTH adenoma. The sensitivity and specify of IPSS for the diagnosis of Cushing disease were 13/14and 2/2 respectively.ConclusionIPSS was a safe technique with high sensitivity, specify and infrequent complications in the diagnosis of ACTH dependent Cushing disease.It had great clinical value in the differential diagnosis of ACTH dependent Cushing disease with unknown origin.
