RESUMO
Objective To understand the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of < 2 years old children hospitalized due to intussusceptions.Methods Clinical and demographic data of <2 years old children hospitalized due to intussusception between January 2007 and August 2013 were retrospectively collected in Affiliated Children' s Hospital of Soochow University in Suzhou.The incidence data,age distribution,seasonality and clinical characteristics of hospitalized intussusceptions cases were analyzed.Results A total of 594 intussusception-related hospitalizations were identified during this period in children aged <2 years,no death occurred.The crude incidence of hospitalized intussusception was 57.3 per 100 000 in children aged <2 years (95%CI:52.8-62.1),and 100.6 per 100 000 in children aged <1 year (95%CI:92.1-109.8).The male to female ratio was 1.90 ∶ 1.Up to 85.4% (507/594) of the cases were aged < 1 year,and 66.2% (393/594) of the cases were aged 3-8 months.The incidence peaked in age group 5-8 months.The median age of the cases was 6.8 months (QR=4.4),and increased from 6.3 months (QR=4.2) in 2007 to 7.3 months (QR=4.0) in 2013.No obvious seasonality was observed.Main symptoms or signs included vomiting (83.2%,494/594),abdominal mass (81.1%,482/594),and bloody stool (64.5%,383/594).Abdominal ultrasonic testing was the most frequently used diagnostic approach (98.7%,586/594).Up to 86.2% (512/594) of patients were successfully treated by surgical intervention.The main sites for acute intussusception in children aged <2 years were ileo-colic (34.5%,183/530),ileo-ileo (30.8%,163/530) or ileo-ileo-colic (27.9%,148/530).Conclusion The incidence of hospitalized intussusception in children aged <2 years was high in Suzhou.It is necessary to establish an active surveillance system to provide baseline data for the evaluation of rotavirus vaccine safety.
RESUMO
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical features and prognosis of children with rotavirus gastroenteritis and convulsion.MethodsClinical data of children with rotavirus gastroenteritis hospitalized from January 2010 to December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Subjects were divided into the seizure group and no seizure group according to the presence of seizure in the course and compared between the two groups.ResultsThere were no signiifcant differences in sex, age, and the average duration of hospitalization between two groups (allP>0.05). The family history, history of seizures, the levels of serum sodium, calcium, lactate, standard bicarbonate concentration (SB), actual bicarbonate concentration (AB), carbon dioxide content (TCO2) and pH were statistically signiifcant between two groups (allP>0.05). During the follow-up period (outpatient telephone follow-up), the recurrence of seizure in two groups was signiifcant different (P<0.05) and only one (0.54%) child in seizure group developed epilepsy.ConclusionThis study showed that rotavirus gastroenteritis with convulsion is a benign clinical course.

RESUMO
<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Pericytes, located on microvessels, help to maintain vascular stability and blood-brain barrier integrity. The influence of pericytes on microvessels after spinal cord injury (SCI) is less clear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate whether pericytes took a protective effect on microvessels in melatonin-treated SCI.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into three groups: sham group, SCI group, and melatonin group (n = 27 per group). Functional recovery was evaluated using the Basso Mouse Scale. Motor neurons were observed using hematoxylin and eosin staining. Pericyte coverage was analyzed using immunofluorescence. Permeability of blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB) was assessed by administration of Evan's Blue. Protein levels of occludin, aquaporin-4 (AQP4), angiopoietin-1 (Ang1), intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), Bcl-2, and Bax were determined using Western blotting. Mimicking the pathological conditions of SCI, melatonin-treated primary pericytes were subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R). Secretion of Ang1 was analyzed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the expression of ICAM-1 was detected by immunofluorescence.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Melatonin treatment improved locomotor functional outcome and rescued motor neurons. Pericyte coverage was significantly reduced after SCI; melatonin treatment alleviated the loss of pericyte coverage and rescued perfused microvessels 7 days after injury. The permeability of BSCB and loss of occludin were attenuated, and edema formation and upregulation of AQP4 were inhibited, after melatonin treatment. The expression of Ang1 and Bcl-2 was improved, while the expression of ICAM-1 and Bax was inhibited, in melatonin-treated SCI mice. Furthermore, the secretion of Ang1 was increased and the expression of ICAM-1 was inhibited in melatonin-treated pericytes after OGD/R.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Melatonin ameliorated the loss of blood vessels and disruption of BSCB to exert a protective effect on SCI, which might be mediated by increased pericyte coverage. The upregulation of Ang1 in pericytes could inhibit inflammation and apoptosis to protect the microvessels.</p>
