RESUMO
To investigate the efficacy and safety of modified endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy (ERAT) in children with acute uncomplicated appendicitis complicated with intussusception. Data of 6 patients with acute uncomplicated appendicitis complicated with intussusception who received modified ERAT were collected from October 2018 to February 2020 in Pediatrics Department of Tangdu Hospital. The reduction rate of intussusception, the success rate of ERAT appendiceal intubation and endoscopic treatment, the remission time of clinical symptoms, the time of white blood cells return to normal, the length of hospital stay, complications and recurrence were summarized. All the 6 patients were confirmed to be acute uncomplicated appendicitis combined with ileocecal intussusceptions under colonoscopy. Endoscopic intussusception reduction and ERAT were performed successfully. The mean time of disappearance of abdominal tenderness was 1.3 days after the therapy, and the time of white blood cells return to normal was 1 day after surgery. The endoscopic treatment were all successful and the length of hospital stay was 3-6 days. No complications or recurrence of intussusception and appendicitis occurred during the follow-up period of 6-12 months. Modified ERAT can effectively, safely and minimally invitingly treat acute uncomplicated appendicitis with intussusception in children on the basis of definite diagnosis.
RESUMO
Objective@#To analyze and discuss the social factors and clinical characteristics of oral poisoning in children, so as to provide reference for preventing and treating children poisoning.@*Methods@#The clinical data of 173 pediatric patients with oral poisoning diagnosed and treated in Department of Pediatrics, the Fourth Military Medical University in Tangdu Hospital from January to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.@*Results@#Pesticide and insecticide poisoning topped the list(68 cases, 39.31%)and the clinical manifestations of different poisons were varied.Geographically, the urban and rural distribution was mainly rural(118 cases, 68.21%), among which 103 cases(87.29%)were left-behind children in rural areas.Within one year, the number of urban children fluctuated slightly, with a small peak in March and the number of rural children fluctuated greatly, with a large peak in July.In addition, urban children were mainly poisoned by oral internal medicine(34 cases, 61.82%), while rural children were mainly poisoned by oral pesticide and insecticide(64 cases, 54.24%). The gender distribution was mainly male(101 cases, 58.38%), with the highest incidence in early childhood(97 cases, 56.07%). The main reasons for taking poison included children′s misadministration(123 cases, 71.10%), parents′ accidental feeding(24 cases, 13.87%), and elder children′s self-administration due to emotional factors(26 cases, 15.03%). The treatment methods were gastric lavage, emetic stimulation and enema according to the type and time of poisoning of administration, and timely use of specific antidote and symptomatic treatment was also the key to treatment.@*Conclusion@#The situation is more serious in rural areas of oral poisoning in children, especially for left-behind children in rural areas, who are at the highest incidence in early childhood.Oral pesticides, insecticides and oral drugs are the most prominent, and misadministration is the main reason.Family poison management should be strengthened for prevention, and treatment should vary according to the type and time of taking poison.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the relationship between cow's milk protein allergy(CMPA)and gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD)and the prognosis of GERD combined with CMPA.Methods Fifty patients(24 boys and 26 girls)with GERD were enrolled in this study from January 2015 to June 2016 at Department of Pediatrics,Tangdu Hospital of the Fourth Military Medical University.All children were treated with serum milk protein soluble IgE(sIgE)and milk protein avoidance test,and those with positive results of children's milk protein by provocation test and those with milk serum protein sIgE negative by milk protein provocation tests were diagnosed as CMPA children with GERD according to the CMPA diagnostic criteria and received diet therapy for 1 month and then their blood eosinophil ratio and 24-hour esophageal pH were monitored.Results Twenty-three cases(46％)of 50 children with GERD were diagnosed as CMPA.There was significant difference in clinical symptoms between GERD group and GERD combined with CMPA group(x2=22.78,P0.05).For children with GERD combined with CMPA,the patients received dietary treatment for 1 month.There was significant improvement in vomiting,runny nose/wheezing/cough and diarrhea(P0.05).The proportions of blood eosinophils were decreased after treatment compared with those before treatment [(2.7±1.8)％vs.(8.2±2.7)％,t=10.006,P<0.01].The results of 5 children's 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring showed that the reflux index and the number of acid GERD episodes were lower than before,and the difference was all statistically significant before and after(all P<0.05).Conclusions The occurrence of GERD in infants is partly related to CMPA,and the treatment of CMPA can relieve the clinical symptoms of GERD.
