Research advances on risk factors of coronary artery lesion in Kawasaki disease / 中国小儿急救医学

Kawasaki disease is an acute febrile rash disease with systemic vasculitis as the main lesion, which can lead to coronary artery lesion(CAL)in some children.Early diagnosis of Kawasaki disease can effectively prevent CAL.Previous studies on the risk factors of CAL in Kawasaki disease focused on leukocyte, neutrophil percentage, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, serum albumin, etc.In recent years, many new biomarkers have been found.This review summarized the newly studied risk factors, aiming to provide reference for timely treatment of Kawasaki disease and prevention of CAL.

Risk factors for chronic postsurgical pain after craniotomy / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective:To identify the risk factors for chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) after craniotomy.Methods:This was a single-center retrospective cohort study.The patients who underwent craniotomy in Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University from December 2019 to May 2020 were enrolled.The occurrence of CPSP, anxiety, depression and quality of life were determined by telephone follow-up with Short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire-2, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item, a five-level EuroQol five-dimensional questionnaire.The patients were divided into CPSP group ( n=106) and non-CPSP group ( n=252) according to the results of investigation.Then univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis were performed to identify the risk factors for CPSP. Results:There was significant difference in age, a history of preoperative pain, a history of alcohol addiction, transoccipital approach and degree of lesion resection between the two groups ( P<0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that age ≥ 60 yr was a protective factor for CPSP after craniotomy; a history of preoperative pain ≥3 months, a history of alcohol addiction, transoccipital approach and partial resection of the lesion were independent risk factors for CPSP after craniotomy. Conclusion:Age≥60 yr is a protective factor for CPSP after craniotomy; a history of preoperative pain (≥3 months), a history of alcohol addiction, transoccipital approach and partial resection of the lesion are independent risk factors for CPSP after craniotomy.

Psychological and behavior status of minor children of medical staff during the COVID-19 epidemic in Hubei province / 浙江大学学报·医学版

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the psychological and behavior status of minor children of medical staff in Hubei province during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic.@*METHODS@#A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted through WeChat from March 13 to 15, 2020, which included a general data questionnaire and Conners parental assessment questionnaire (PSQ). The questionnaires received from outside of Hubei province were excluded through IP address, and the questionnaires with answer time 0.05) between children with parents as medical staff and those without. In 6-0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#s During COVID-19 epidemic period, the psychological and behavior status of minor children of Hubei medical staff with different ages shows differences with those without parents as medical staff, particularly in 6-<10 years and 10 to 16 year groups. It is necessary to pay attention to the psychological and behavioral status of children of medical staff in these age groups.

Relationship between Japanese encephalitis and S100B protein / 中华神经科杂志

Objective To investigate the role of S100B protein in the pathogenesis of patients with Japanese encephalitis (JE).Methods A total of 45 patients were enrolled in the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from August 2013 to October 2013,who were diagnosed as JE on the basis of clinical features and positive IgM antibodies against JE virus measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) from the Center of Disease Control of Shijiazhuang.The JE patients were divided into initial phase group,acute phase group and convalescence group based on the course,mild JE group,moderate JE group and severe JE group based on the severity,MRI-no-lesion group and MRI lesions group based on the imaging findings of JE.Twelve cases with no evidence of infection in central nervous system in the meantime were chosen as control.The S100B protein was measured by ELISA.Results The content of S100B protein in cerebrospinal fluid was as follows:522.76 (393.35,620.37) pg/ml in mild JE group (acute phase group:609.77 (549.27,779.71) pg/ml,convalescence group:420.48 (344.36,453.19) pg/ml),792.09 (705.47,1 108.96) pg/ml in moderate JE group (acute phase group:770.19 (646.31,1 069.54) pg/ml,convalescence group:803.45 (602.90,1 396.84) pg/ml),and 1 021.94 (680.84,1 302.15) pg/ml in severe JE group (acute phase group:981.82 (680.84,1 826.28) pg/ml,convalescence group:989.00 (553.62,1 207.67) pg/ml).The S100B protein content was 561.52 (454.36,814.56) pg/ml,803.45 (602.90,1 104.01) pg/ml,762.22 (594.95,1 044.97) pg/ml,581.76 (442.51,1 069.10) pg/ml in MRI-no-lesion group,MRI lesions group,total acute phase group and total convalescence group,respectively.While in control group,the S100B protein content was 266.71 (205.72,390.05) pg/ml.The contents of S100B protein in moderate JE group,severe JE group,total acute phase group,total convalescence group,MRI-no-lesion group,MRI lesions group were higher than that in control group (H =4.864,5.497,5.075,3.918,2.971,4.981,P =0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000,0.009,0.000).The contents of S100B protein in mild JE group was lower than that in moderate JE group and severe JE group (H =-2.786,-3.514,P =0.032,0.003).Conclusions The level of S100B protein in cerebrospinal fluid is related with the severity,duration and imaging presentation of JE patients.The dynamic monitoring of S100B protein levels is of great significance for assessment of the patients' condition and curative effect.
