RESUMO
Objective:To summarize the prognosis of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) patients with biochemical recurrence (the increase of postoperative calcitonin and no abnormal imaging) and to investigate the optimal cut-off value of calcitonin for postoperative structural recurrence (with imaging abnormality).Methods:Literature retrieval was conducted for PubMed, CNKI, EMbase, Web of Science, Cochrane and other databases, and literatures related to the increase of calcitonin after MTC surgery were included. Review Manager 5.4 software was used for Meta-analysis of the recurrence and death. SPSS 23.0 software was used and receiving operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the rising folds of postoperative calcitonin level in comparison with the maximum value of experiment detection, and to predict the outcome of biochemical recurrence transforming to structural recurrence, and then the optimal cut-off value could be worked out.Results:A total of 7 studies including 1 005 MTC patients (276 cases of biochemical recurrence and 542 cases of biochemical cure). Meta-analysis showed that structural recurrence rate in postoperative biochemical recurrence group [40.6% (112/276) vs. 2.2% (12/542); OR = 27.99, 95% CI 14.57-53.78, P < 0.001] and mortality [10.0% (19/190) vs. 0.96% (3/312); OR = 7.26, 95% CI 2.42-21.84, P < 0.001] were higher than those in the biochemical cure group (normal postoperative calcitonin level and no disease state). The data of 89 MTC patients with biochemical recurrence were collected in another 4 studies. ROC curve analysis showed that area under the curve of the rising folds of postoperative calcitonin level in predicting structural recurrence was 0.825; according to the cut-off value at all sections, the optimal cut-off value of the increased postoperative calcitonin was 50 times, the sensitivity was 66. 7%, the specificity was 88.6%. Conclusions:MTC patients with postoperative biochemical recurrence have higher structural recurrence rate and mortality compared with patients with normal postoperative calcitonin. The postoperative elevation of calcitonin more than 50 times the maximum value of the laboratory detection can be taken as the critical diagnostic value, when more than 50 times is prone to structural recurrence.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of three-dimensional navigation template assisted osteotomy for fracture malunion of lateral condyle of humerus in children.Methods:Eighteen children with ma-lunion of fracture of lateral condyle of humerus were treated in Southern Medical University Third Affiliated Hospital from August 2012 to December 2019 and analyzed retrospectively.Among them, 12 cases were treated with routine ope-ration: according to CT reconstruction and empirical osteotomy during the operation, the location of deformity was analyzed.Six cases were treated with navigation template assisted osteotomy: according to the CT data of bilateral elbow joints, a three-dimensional bone model was established, and the coronal and sagittal deformities of the distal humerus were evaluated by comparing the images of the distal humerus of the affected side with the distal humerus of the healthy side, so as to determine the best plane of osteotomy and the target position of reduction.The preoperative simulation was carried out on the computer, and the osteotomy navigation template and reduction navigation template were designed.The navigation template was printed out with a 3D printer.During the operation, the osteotomy was corrected with the assistance of navigation template, and the broken end of osteotomy was fixed with hollow screw and fixed with 80 degree flexion plaster.The X-ray films of the two groups were reexamined regularly after operation.The amount of intraoperative blood loss, operation time, incidence of postoperative complications (necrosis of humeral head and trochlea, delayed ulnar nerve paralysis, and bone nonunion) and the recovery of flexion and the extension function of elbow joint were observed in the 2 groups.Results:The elbow joint activity of all children basically returned to normal, the orthopedic site of osteotomy achieved bony healing, and the orthopedic effects were satisfactory.All the 18 cases were followed up for 6-24 months (mean 15 months). According to the postoperative Dhillon score, the navigation template group was excellent in 1 case and better in 5 cases, while in the routine group, 11 cases were batter and 1 case was fair.There were no significant differences in Dhillon score between the 2 groups after operation ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the range of the motion of elbow joint between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). In the comparison of operation time and intraoperative blood loss, the navigation template group [(200.0±24.2) min, (85.0±10.9) mL]was better than the routine group[(232.0±20.1) min, (139.1±18.3) mL](all P<0.001). Conclusions:The application of three-dimensional humerus reconstruction and mirror image contrast to evaluate the distal humerus deformity of the affected side, and the design of osteotomy and reduction navigation template auxiliary operation can restore the normal anatomical structure of elbow joint to the greatest extent.Accurate correction, and the function of elbow joint recover well after operation, which optimizes the operation procedure, improves the safety and effectiveness of the operation.

Objective:To investigate the incidence of asthma and the characteristics of acute attacks in children aged 3-14 in different administrative areas of Wuxi, and to analyze the correlation of asthma with the outdoor environmental factors.Methods:A total of 10 175 children aged 3-14 were randomly selected from 5 different administrative regions in Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province for childhood asthma epidemiological survey from January to December in 2017.Results:The complete questionnaires were collected from 8 318 children with a response rate of 81.70%.There were 6 734 valid questionnaires.Asthma occurred to 259 children, and the prevalence rate was 3.84%.The prevalence of asthma in male and female children was 4.89% (163 cases) and 2.82% (96 cases), respectively.The ratio of male patients to female patients was 1.70∶1.00, and the difference was significant ( χ2=19.72, P<0.01). Children were most prone to suffer from asthma attacks at the turn of seasons (87/259 cases, 33.59%). The frequency of asthma was the lowest from June to August (9/259 cases, 3.47%). Among 244 cases attacked by acute asthma, the prevailing time period of acute attacks was irregular in 88 patients (36.07%), bedtime in 64 cases (26.23%). In different regions of the city, the lowest prevalence rate of asthma was found in Binhu District (50/1 830 cases, 2.73%), the highest prevalence rate of asthma was found in Xinwu District (71/1 502 cases, 4.72%), the difference between the highest and lowest prevalence rates of asthma was significant ( χ2=13.19, P<0.05). In terms of the air quality in different admi-nistrative regions of Wuxi, the nitrogen dioxide (NO 2) concentration, the carbon monoxide (CO) concentration, PM 10 and PM 2.5 in Binhu District were lower than other 4 regions.In different seasons in Wuxi city, the sulfur dioxide(SO 2) concentration, the NO 2 concentration, the CO concentration, PM 10 and PM 2.5 from June to August were significantly lower than those in other months.The prevalence of asthma in children in different administrative districts of Wuxi was weakly positively correlated with the SO 2 concentration, the NO 2 concentration and PM 10 ( r=0.10, P<0.01; r=0.22, P<0.01; r=0.06, P<0.01, respectively). The prevalence of asthma was weakly negatively associated with the ozone(O 3) concentration ( r=-0.06, P<0.01). Acute asthma attacks were weakly positively correlated with the SO 2 concentration ( r=0.22, P<0.01), the NO 2 concentration ( r=0.28, P<0.01), the CO concentration ( r=0.23, P<0.01), PM 10 ( r=0.18, P<0.01) and PM 2.5 ( r=0.18, P<0.01), and weakly negatively correlated with the O 3 concentration ( r=-0.40, P<0.01). Conclusions:The prevalence of asthma in Wuxi is higher in boys than in girls, and the frequency of asthma attacks is related to the season.The SO 2, NO 2, CO, PM 10, PM 2.5 and O 3 concentration affect the prevalence and acute attacks of asthma.

RESUMO
OBJECTIVE： Te analyze the problems of clinical use in pediatric drug in China， and to put forward related countermeasures and suggestions. METHODS： Using “children” and “pediatrics” as retrieval words， registered drug information were retrieved from the website of China Food and Drug Administration； the data of pediatric drug use prescription was retrieved from hospital prescription system of 9 hospitals； all drug information were retrieved from national drug data management system； off-label drug use investigation and the literatures of pediatric drug use in medical institutions （5 representative third grade general medical institutions） were retrieved from CNKI and Wanfang database. General information and problems of pediatric drug use in China were investigated. RESULTS： A total of 170 009 items of registered drug information were retrieved， including 2 784 drug information items labeled with ”children” or ”pediatrics”， accounting for 1.64％；320 000 drug prescriptions from hospital prescription system of 9 hospitals covered 22 treatment areas involving 1 186 drugs and 51 dosage forms. Only 10％ suitable for children. The retrieval results of database showed that the incidence of children off-label drug use in outpatients prescriptions of 5 hospitals was in high level， mainly manifesting as without the information of pediatric drug use， hyper-indication drug use， hyper-dosage drug use. There were many problems in clinical pediatric drug use in China， such as less variety for children， single dosage form and specification， widespread off-label drug use， lack of scientific reference for drug use， difficulty in developing pediatric drug clinical trials， etc. CONCLUSIONS： Although the policies to protect children’s clinical drug use have been introduced in China， the problems facing children’s clinical drug use in China are still very serious. While further implementing relevant policies， it is necessary to establish a linkage management system led by government departments， with the full participation and mutual cooperation of society， enterprises， medical institutions and patients so as to guaratee the safety of pediatric drug use in clinic.
RESUMO
The therapeutic efficiency of radionuclides for cancer is closely related to the accumula-tion level, residence time and distribution in tumor, and is also influenced by the radiation resistance and hypoxia microenvironment of tumor. Nanomaterials, with a series of characteristics including special dimen-sion effect and functionally modifiable surface, can not only work as the isotopic carrier to transport nuclide into tumor, but also combine with chemical, thermal or photodynamic therapies to generate synergistic thera-peutic effect or destroy the hypoxic microenvironment of tumor to reduce radiation resistance, thus achieving the radiosensitization effect. This article reviews the application of nanomaterials in enhancing the therapeu-tic efficiency of radionuclide for cancer.
