ObjectivesTo analyze the spatial and temporal clustering characteristics and related influencing factors of late diagnosis of HIV/AIDS in Lanzhou， to identify its high-risk areas and time trends in Lanzhou， and to provide a theoretical basis for developing targeted HIV/AIDS prevention and control strategies in Lanzhou. MethodsThe subjects of this study were adult HIV/AIDS cases reported in Lanzhou City between 2011 and 2018. Data used in the study were sourced from the Lanzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Lanzhou Statistical Yearbook. To analyze the spatial distribution characteristics and influencing factors of the relative risk （RR） of late HIV/AIDS diagnosis， Bayes spatial-temporal model was used. ResultsA total of 1984 new HIV/AIDS cases were reported in Lanzhou from 2011 to 2018， with an mean age of 37.51 years and predominantly male （91.8%）. The number of late diagnosis cases was 982， with an mean age of 39.67 years and a predominance of males （91.8%）. Late diagnosis was more common in older individuals and women with HIV/AIDS. Chengguan District （51.1%）， Anning District （50.3%） and Yuzhong County （51.9%） had an above-average proportion of late diagnosis of HIV/AIDS. The proportion of late diagnosis cases in Lanzhou showed a fluctuating upward trend from 2011 to 2018. The results of Bayes spatial-temporal model showed that the risk of late HIV/AIDS diagnosis in Lanzhou had fluctuated from 2011 to 2015， and then increased rapidly after 2015 ［RR （95% credibility interval， 95%CI） increased from 1.01 （0.84， 1.23） to 1.11 （0.77， 1.97）］； the trends of risk of late diagnosis in Honggu district and three counties were similar to the overall trend in Lanzhou city， while the risk of late diagnosis in Chengguan District and Qilihe District showed a decreasing trend. The regions with the RR for late diagnosis greater than 1 included Yongdeng County （RR=1.07， 95% CI： 0.55， 1.96）， Xigu District （RR=1.04， 95% CI： 0.67， 1.49）， Chengguan District （RR=2.41， 95% CI： 0.85， 6.16）， and Qilihe District （RR=2.03， 95% CI： 1.10， 3.27）. Besides， the heatmap analysis showed that Chengguan District and Qilihe District were the hot spots. The influencing factors analysis showed that the higher GDP per capita （RR=0.65， 95% CI： 0.35， 0.90） and the larger proportion of males with HIV/AIDS cases （RR=0.53， 95% CI： 0.19， 0.92） could lead to the lower the relative risk of late HIV/AIDS diagnosis. However， the higher the population density （RR=1.35， 95% CI： 1.01， 1.81） caused the higher the risk of late diagnosis. ConclusionOur study shows the risk of late diagnosis of HIV/AIDS in Lanzhou was on the rise， and there are significant regional differences. GDP per capita， the proportion of males in HIV/AIDS cases and population density are influencing factors in the late diagnosis of HIV/AIDS. Therefore， for regions with a high risk of late diagnosis or related risk factors， targeted HIV screening and prevention services should be given priority in order to reduce the proportion and risk of late diagnosis of HIV/AIDS.

Long-term effectiveness of uncemented allograft-prosthesis composite for reconstruction of bone defects after proximal femur tumor resection / 中国修复重建外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the long-term effectiveness of uncemented allograft-prosthesis composite (APC) for reconstruction of bone defects after proximal femur tumor resection.@*METHODS@#Between June 2007 and March 2014, 21 patients who underwent uncemented APC reconstruction of proximal femur after tumor resection were retrospectively evaluated. There were 9 males and 12 females with an average age of 33.2 years (range, 19-54 years). There were 9 cases of giant cell tumor of bone, 5 cases of osteosarcoma, 4 cases of osteoblastic osteosarcoma, 2 cases of chondrosarcoma, and 1 case of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. Thirteen cases of benign bone tumors were all classified as stage 3 by Enneking staging; and 8 cases of malignant bone tumors were classified as grade ⅡB in 7 cases and grade ⅡA in 1 case according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system. Among them, 7 patients underwent reoperation after recurrence, and the rest were primary operations; 8 patients presented with pathological fractures. The preoperative Harris hip score (HHS) and American Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score was 40 (30, 49) and 9.1±3.5, respectively. The length of osteotomy was 80-154 mm, with an average of 110 mm. At 1 year after operation and last follow-up, HHS and MSTS scores were utilized to evaluate the function of hip joint; the gluteus medius strength score was used to evaluation of the hip abduction function. Image examinations were taken at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after operation and every year thereafter to assess the union of allograft-host bone interfaces. Intra- and post-operative complications were also recorded.@*RESULTS@#All patients were followed up 84-163 months (mean, 123.5 months). At 1 year after operation and last follow-up, the HHS and MSTS scores significantly improved when compared with the preoperative scores ( P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the HHS score, MSTS score, and gluteus medius strength score between the two time points after operation ( P>0.05). Image examination showed that all allograft-host bone interfaces achieved union after 5-10 months (mean, 7.6 months). At last follow-up, all patients had bone resorption, including 11 severe cases, 4 moderate cases, and 6 mild cases; the bone resorption sites included Gruen 1, 2, and 7 regions. Complications included 10 fractures and 1 prosthetic fracture. Local recurrence occurred in 3 patients and pulmonary metastasis in 3 patients.@*CONCLUSION@#Uncemented APC is a reliable method for the reconstruction of bone defects after proximal femur tumor resection. It has the good long-term effectiveness and possesses obvious advantages in the union at the bone-bone surface.

Three-dimensional-printed hemi-pelvic prosthesis for revision of aseptic loosening or screw fracture of modular hemi-pelvic prosthesis / 中国修复重建外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effectiveness of three-dimensional (3D)-printed hemi-pelvic prosthesis for revision of aseptic loosening or screw fracture of modular hemi-pelvic prosthesis.@*METHODS@#Between February 2017 and January 2020, 11 patients with aseptic loosening or screw fracture of modular hemi-pelvic prosthesis were revised using 3D-printed hemi-pelvic prostheses. There were 7 males and 4 females with an average age of 44 years (range, 25-60 years). In the first operation, all patients underwent total tumor resection, modular hemi-pelvic prosthesis reconstruction, and autologous femoral head transplantation. According to the Enneking pelvic partition system, 8 cases were resected in zones Ⅰ+Ⅱ and 3 cases in zones Ⅰ+Ⅱ+Ⅲ. The interval from the initial operation to this revision ranged from 14.3-66.2 months, with an average of 35.8 months. The operation time, the amount of intraoperative bleeding, and the occurrence of complications were recorded. At 6 months after the first operation, before revision, and at last follow-up, the American Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score and Harris score were used to evaluate the recovery of lower limb function. The pain-free walking distance of patients without brace assistance was recorded at last follow-up. X-ray films were taken at 1 month after the first operation, before revision, and at 1 month after revision, the acetabulum position was assessed by the differences in weight arm and cup height between bilateral hip joints. At last follow-up, the digital X-ray tomography was taken to evaluate the prosthesis-bone integration and the occurrence of aseptic loosening.@*RESULTS@#The operation time was 182.6-238.0 minutes (mean, 197.4 minutes). The amount of intraoperative bleeding was 400-860 mL (mean, 550.0 mL). All incisions healed by first intention with no infection, hip dislocation, nerve damage, or vascular-related adverse events. The MSTS score and Harris score at last follow-up were significantly higher than those at 6 months after the first operation and before revision ( P<0.05), while the score before revision was significantly lower than that at 6 months after the first operation ( P<0.05). At last follow-up, the patients were able to walk more than 1 000 meters painlessly without brace assistance. Imaging review showed that the difference of cup height at 1 month after revision was significantly lower than that at 1 month after the first operation and before revision, and at 1 month after the first operation than before revision operation, and the differences were significant ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the difference of weight arm among three time points ( P>0.05). All prostheses were well integrated, and no aseptic loosening of the prosthesis or screw fracture occurred.@*CONCLUSION@#Revision with 3D-printed hemi-pelvic prostheses benefited in reconstructing stable pelvic ring and natural bodyweight transmission for patients encountering the aseptic loosening or screw fracture of modular hemi-pelvic prosthesis. Early postoperative rehabilitation training can maximize the recovery of patient limb function, reduce pain during walking, and reduce the incidence of complications.

Mid-term effectiveness of hip preservation in the reconstruction of ultrashort bone segments in the proximal femur with three-dimensional printed customized cementless intercalary endoprosthesis with an intra-neck curved stem / 中国修复重建外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the design points of a three-dimensional (3D) printed customized cementless intercalary endoprosthesis with an intra-neck curved stem and to evaluate the key points and mid-term effectiveness of its application in the reconstruction of ultrashort bone segments in the proximal femur.@*METHODS@#Between October 2015 and January 2021, 17 patients underwent reconstruction with a 3D printed-customized cementless intercalary endoprosthesis with an intra-neck curved stem. There were 11 males and 6 females, the age ranged from 10 to 76 years, with an average of 30.1 years. There were 9 cases of osteosarcoma, 4 cases of Ewing sarcoma, 2 cases of chondrosarcoma, 1 case of liposarcoma, and 1 case of myofibroblastoma. The disease duration was 5-14 months, with an average of 9.5 months. Enneking staging included 16 cases of stage ⅡB and 1 case of stage ⅢB. The distances from the center of the femoral head to the body midline and the acetabular apex were measured preoperatively on X-ray images. Additionally, the distances from the tip of the intra-neck curved stem to the body midline and the acetabular apex were measured at immediate postoperatively and last follow-up. The neck-shaft angle was also measured preoperatively, at immediate postoperatively, and at last follow-up. The status of osseointegration at the bone-prosthesis interface and bone growth into the prosthesis surface were assessed by X-ray films, CT, and Tomosynthesis-Shimadzu metal artefact reduction technology (T-SMART). The survival status of the patients, presence of local recurrence or distant metastasis, and occurrence of postoperative complications were assessed. The recovery of lower limb function was evaluated pre- and post-operatively using the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) scoring system, and pain relief was evaluated using the visual analogue scale (VAS) scores.@*RESULTS@#The patient's femoral resection length was (163.1±57.5) mm, the remaining proximal femoral length was (69.6±9.3) mm, and the percentage of femoral resection length/total femoral length was 38.7%±14.6%. All 17 patients were followed up 25-86 months with an average of 58.1 months. During the follow-up, 1 patient died of lung metastasis at 46 months postoperatively, and the remaining 16 patients survived tumor-free. There was no complication such as periprosthetic infection, delayed incision healing, aseptic loosening, prosthesis fracture, or periprosthetic fracture. No evidence of micromotion or wear around the implanted stem of the prosthesis was detected in X-ray and T-SMART evaluations. There was no significant radiolucent lines, and radiographic evidence of bone ingrowth into the bone-prosthesis interface was observed in all stems. There was no significant difference in the distance from the tip of the curved stem to the body midline and the apex of the acetabulum at immediate postoperatively and last follow-up compared with the distance from the center of the femoral head to the body midline and the apex of the acetabulum before operation, respectively (P>0.05), and there was no significant difference in the above indexes between immediate postoperatively and last follow-up (P>0.05). The differences in the neck-shaft angle at various time points before and after operation were also not significant (P>0.05). At last follow-up, the MSTS score was 26.1±1.2 and the VAS score was 0.1±0.5, which were significantly improved when compared with those before operation [19.4±2.1 and 5.7±1.0, respectively] (t=14.735, P<0.001; t=21.301, P<0.001). At last follow-up, none of the patients walked with the aid of crutches or other walkers.@*CONCLUSION@#The 3D printed customized cementless intercalary endoprosthesis with an intra-neck curved stem is an effective method for reconstructing ultrashort bone segments in the proximal femur following malignant tumor resection. The operation is reliable, the postoperative lower limb function is satisfactory, and the incidence of complications is low.

Combination of online teaching and BOPPPS model to promote sticky learning / 中华医学教育探索杂志

To enhance the learning stickiness, improve low completion rate of online teaching, and promote teaching quality has become the key to solve the contradiction in online teaching. In this paper, taking the teaching of biochemistry as example, based on the trigger mechanism, maintenance mechanism and migration mechanism of sticky learning, guided by the three-dimensional goal of "knowledge and skills, process and method, emotional attitude and values", the BOPPPS (bridge-in, objective, pre-assessment, participatory-learning, post-assessment, summary) teaching model was combined with online teaching. According to the interactive behavior in the course learning space, the Spearman rank correlation analysis was performed by SPSS 18.0 software to comprehensively evaluate the learning stickiness degree. The research has found that, due to its "micro but refined, compact structure and student-centered" characteristics, BOPPPS combining with online teaching can effectively make up for the time and space limitations of offline teaching and the excessively broad online teaching, bring benefits from the perspectives of "inclusion, attraction and production", promote students' active learning, and practically improve learning stickiness. The research provides a new idea for creating online "golden" courses.

Screening and clinical significance of intestinal colonization of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) in patients before haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation / 中国输血杂志

【Objective】 To investigate the situation of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae(CRE) colonization in patients undergoing haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT). 【Methods】 A total of 241 consecutive patients who underwent haplo-HSCT in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from June 1, 2021 to June 1, 2022 were enrolled. Anal swab screening was performed within 48 hours of admission and blood cultures were taken when the patient developed fever. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to analyze the colonization rate, distribution, risk factors and the correlation between CRE colonization and post-transplant bloodstream infection(BSI). 【Results】 Among 241 patients with haplo-HSCT, there were 90 cases in CRE colonization positive group, with a colonization rate of 37.3% (90/241). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that sex (OR 2.42, 95% CI 1.38-4.22, P<0.05) and history of infection within 30 days before transplantation (OR 3.37, 95% CI 1.59-7.17, P<0.05) may be independent risk factors for CRE intestinal colonization. Of the 95 CRE strains, the top five species were carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (38/95, 40.0%), carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli (29/95, 30.5%), carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae (13/95, 13.6%), carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella acidophilus (6/95, 6.3%) and carbapenem-resistant Proteus mirabilis (3/95, 3.1%). The incidence of post-transplant BSI was 12.0% (29/241) in the CRE-colonized group and 3.3% (8/241) in the non-colonized group. In the colonization group, 100% of the pathogens of BSI were identical with those of CRE colonization. 【Conclusion】 Bacterial culture of anal swab during haplo-HSCT is helpful for detection of CRE colonization in intestinal tract, which provides some clinical basis for active monitoring of key flora, prevention and control of infection.

Short-term outcomes of reconstruction of tumorous critical bone defects at femoral shaft with a 3D printed ultra-short stem with a porous structure / 中华创伤骨科杂志

Objective:To explore the short-term outcomes of reconstruction of tumorous critical bone defects at femoral shaft with a 3D printed ultra-short stem with a porous structure.Methods:From September 2016 to June 2018, 8 patients underwent reconstruction of critical bone defects with a 3D printed ultra-short stem with a porous structure after resection of femoral shaft malignant tumor at Department of Orthopaedics, West China Hospital. There were 4 males and 4 females, with an average age of 36.9 years (from 11 to 61 years). Their preoperative Enneking staging was stage Ⅱb in all. There were 3 osteosarcomas, 2 Ewing sarcomas, 2 chondrosarcomas and one periosteal osteosarcoma. Preoperative CT/MRI image fusion technology was used to define the surgical boundary, design the guide plate and prosthesis, and perform surgical simulation. Tomosynthesis-shimadzu Metal Artefact Reduction technology was used to evaluate osseointegration. Complications and bone oncology prognosis of the patients were documented. The lower limb function of the patients was evaluated using Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) 1993 scoring and knee range of motion.Results:The overall follow-up time ranged from 36 to 50 months, averaging 42.8 months. During operation one patient sustained a periprosthesis fracture, the union of which was followed up after wire assisted fixation. There was no local tumor recurrence, lung metastasis or death. The last follow-up revealed good osseointegration and basically isometric lower extremities in all cases. There was no such a complication as aseptic loosening of the prosthesis, deep infection or prosthesis fracture during the follow-up period. At the last follow-up in the 8 patients, the flexion range of the knee joint was 116.2°±9.1°, significantly improved compared with that before operation (98.8°±10.9°), and the MSTS score was (26.2±2.1) points, also significantly improved compared with that before operation [(21.6±1.8) points] ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Reconstruction with a 3D printed ultra-short stem with a porous structure is an accurate operation for femoral shaft tumorous bone defects. With careful preoperative design, intraoperative manipulation and strict postoperative follow-up management, this operation can lead to fine early curative outcomes for long shaft critical bone defects.

Diagnosis of congenital pseudoaneurysm of the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa by echocardiography / 中华超声影像学杂志

Objective:To review the imaging characteristics and evaluate the diagnostic value of Doppler echocardiography for congenital pseudoaneurysm of the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa (PMAIVF).Methods:Between June 2008 and January 2020, 4 patients with PMAIVF were diagnosed by CTA, MRI and operative findings in Shanghai Children′s Medical Center and Children′s Hospital of Soochow University. The echocardiographic characteristics were analyzed retrospectively in these children.Results:PMAIVF was characterized by a pulsatile echo-free sac that expanded in systole and collapsed in diastole with to-and-fro blood flow on color and pulsed-wave Doppler echocardiography between the mitral leaflet and the aortic annulus. Three cases were diagnosed correctly, and 1 case was misdiagnosed as left atrial mass.Conclusions:PMAIVF can be diagnosed accurately by Doppler echocardiography, but it is prone to be misdiagnosed and must be distinguished from aortic root abscess, atrial mass and coronary artery fistula.

Diagnosis of congenital malposition of septum primum by Doppler echocardiography / 中华超声影像学杂志

Objective:To review the imaging characteristics and evaluate the diagnostic value of Doppler echocardiography for congenitally malposition of septum primum(MSP).Methods:Images of Doppler echocardiography were retrospectirely rewiewed and compared with CTA, operative and necropsy findings in 8 cases with MSP in Xinhua Hospital, and Shanghai Children′s Medical Center, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from January 2009 to October 2019.Results:MSP was characterized by the absent of superior limbic band of septum secundum and different degrees of the leftward deviation of septum primum, and the pulmonary veins which connected with the posterior wall of the anatomical left atrium incorporated intothe right atrium. The associated malformations included totally anomalous (7 cases) and partially anomalous (1 case) pulmonary venous drainage directly to the right atrium. Six of 8 cases were diagnosed correctly. In the remaining 2 cases, 1 case misdiagnosed as single atrium, and the other case misdiagnosed as cor triatriatum.Conclusions:MSP could be diagnosed accurately by Doppler echocardiography. This malformation should be distinguished from single atrium and cor triatriatum.

Replacement with 3D-printed custom-made hemipelvic prosthesis for primary malignancy involving the pubis / 中华创伤骨科杂志

Objective:To observe the short-term efficacy of 3D-printed custom-made hemipelvic prosthesis in the treatment of primary malignant bone tumors of the pubis.Methods:From June 2017 to May 2019, a total of 5 patients with pubic primary malignant tumor received type Ⅲ hemipelvectomy and reconstruction with a 3D-printed custom-made hemipelvic prosthesis at Department of Orthopedics, West China Hospital. They were 3 males and 2 females with an average age of 36.3 years (range, from 26 to 46 years). Of them, 3 underwent resection of the upper pubic ramus and 2 resection of both pubic rami. All their tumors were chondrosarcomas, with one case of Enneking stage Ⅱa and 4 cases of Enneking stage Ⅱb. Preoperative CT/MRI image fusion was used to determine the tumor-free resection margin, design guide templates for osteotomy and prosthesis, and simulate surgical procedures. A total of 5 3D-printed custom-made hemipelvic prostheses were designed, including 3 ones with an intramedullary stem to preserve partial pubis and 2 ones with a non-intramedullary stem not to preserve the pubis. The functional recovery was assessed by Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) scores. The prosthetic position and osseointegration were evaluated by imaging examination. Oncological outcomes and complications were recorded.Results:R0 resection and precise reconstruction were accomplished in all patients. Their intraoperative blood loss ranged from 300 to 3, 700 mL (mean, 1, 680 mL), operation time from 180 to 430 min (mean, 294 min), and follow-up time from 13 to 29 months (mean, 20.6 months). All the 5 patients were alive with no evidence of disease or tumor recurrence. The functional MSTS scores at the final follow-up ranged from 29 to 31 (mean, 29.8). One male patient complained of erectile dysfunction. Fretting wear around the prosthetic stem was found in 3 patients while bone wear on the normal pubic side in 2. Osseointegration was observed in all patients with no complications like deep infection, prosthesis dislocation, prosthetic or screw breakage.Conclusion:Since 3D-printed custom-made hemipelvic prostheses can result in fine short-term efficacy for pubic primary malignant bone tumors, they may be a reliable method to reconstruct pelvic malignant tumors.

Clinical characteristics of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery in 91 children / 中华儿科杂志

Objective@#To explore the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) .@*Methods@#A retrospective study identified 91 patients diagnosed with ALCAPA at Shanghai Children′s Medical Center from March 2010 to August 2017. According to the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at the time of consultation, patients were divided into the cardiac insufficiency group (n=54) and the normal cardiac function group (n=37). Clinical features (age of onset, clinical performance, etc) and auxiliary examinations (electrocardiogram, echocardiography, etc) between the two groups were compared using a t-test and a Chi-square test. Prognostic factors were analyzed by an ordered logistic regression and a Pearson correlation coefficient.@*Results@#(1) The age of diagnosis of patients in the cardiac insufficiency group who were usually misdiagnosed as cardiomyopathy was (10.0±2.6) months (20/54) , whereas the age of diagnosis of patients in the normal cardiac function group who were usually misdiagnosed as valvular diseases was (40.0±7.8) months (4/37). According to the pathophysiological mechanism, forty of the 54 (74%) patients in the cardiac insufficiency group were infantile type, and 78% patients (29/37) in the normal cardiac function group were adult type. (2) Preoperative electrocardiogram showed the deep Q wave in lead I occurred more frequently in the cardiac insufficiency group than in the normal cardiac function group (28/54 vs. 11/37, χ2=4.388, P=0.036). (3) Twenty patients died in the cardiac insufficiency group including 12 patients who died from postoperative cardiac pump failure and 8 children who did not undergo surgery due to poor prognosis and died from other reasons. There was no death in the normal cardiac function group. (4) Preoperative LVEF was the unique risk factor affecting prognosis (F=16.872, P=0.005). The preoperative LVEF was significantly lower than the postoperative LVEF ((37±11)% vs. (45±14)%, t=3.614, P=0.001) in the cardiac insufficiency group. During the follow-up period, 6 patients in the cardiac insufficiency group still presented with postoperative cardiac dysfunction, and the patients in the normal cardiac function group still had normal cardiac function.@*Conclusions@#Preoperative LVEF was the unique risk factor affecting prognosis of ALCAPA. Patients with infantile type ALCAPA and preoperative cardiac insufficiency should receive long-term follow-up treatment.

Relationship between parenting styles and conduct problems in 3-year-old preschool children / 中国神经精神疾病杂志

Objective To investigate the role of different parenting styles plays in conduct problems of 3-years-old preschool children.Methods Participants were from 148 preschools in Longhua Shenzhen,China.A structured questionnaire covering family demographic characteristics,Conners' Parent Symptom Questionnaire and Egna Minnen Betraffande Uppfostran-Parents (EMBU-P) were conducted among primary caregivers of each child.There were 9289 valid participants in the analysis and logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between three dimensions of parenting (rejection,emotional warmth and control/overprotection) and conduct problems.Results After allowing for certain confounders,parental rejection (OR =1.17,P＜0.01) and control/overprotection (OR =1.03,P＜0.01) was positively associated with conduct problems and emotional warmth was negatively related to conduct problems (OR=0.98,P＜0.01).Stratified analysis showed a significant relationship between conduct problems and both parents' rejection (OR father=1.16,P＜0.01;OR motber=1.17,P＜0.01),father's emotional warmth (OR=0.96,P＜0.01) and mother's control/overprotection (OR=1.04,P＜0.01).This relationship did not vary between boys and girls and between single and not single children.Conclusion Influence of parenting should be taken into consideration in the prevention and intervention of conduct problems.

Left Ventricular Twist in Patients with Atrial Septal Defect by Speckle Tracking Imaging / 中国医学影像学杂志

Purpose To evaluate features of the left ventricular twist in patients with atrial septal defect (ASD) using speckle tracking imaging (STI) in order to guide clinical application.Materials and Methods Fifty-eight patients with ASD confirmed by ardiac ultrasound in Shanghai Children's Medical Center from October 2015 to January 2016 were enrolled in this study as case group,which were further divided into group ASD-A with 30 cases and group ASD-B with 28 cases according to the volume of right ventricular.The volume of right ventricular was significantly increased in the group ASD-A,but the volume of right ventricular was not significantly increased in the group ASD-B.At the same time,30 normal children with matched age and sex were chosen as control group.The parameters of left ventricular twist motion in each group were measured and compared by using STI.Results In group ASD-A,The basal and apical part of 6 children rotated counterclockwise.Compared with those in the control group,the basal rotation angle and apical rotation angle of left ventricular in group ASD-A were significantly higher (P＜0.01),and the peak twist and torison of left ventricular in group ASD-A were also higher (P＜0.05).Compared with those in the control group,only the apical rotation angle in group ASD-B was higher (P＜0.05),but the rest parameters of the left ventricular twist motion in group ASD-B were not statistically significantly higher (P＞0.05).Conclusion The significant increase in the volume of right heart load in ASD impacts on the basal and apical rotation of left ventricular.

Fetal Echocardiography for Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection and Misdiagnosis Analysis / 中国医学影像学杂志

Purpose To investigate the diagnostic value of fetal echocardiography in total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC),and to analyze the reasons ofmisdiagnosis so as to improve accuracy of prenatal diagnosis.Materials and Methods The prenatal echocardiographic data of 24 cases of TAPVC confirmed by postnatal echocardiography and prenatal MRI from October 2001 to December 2015 in Children's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University and Shanghai Children's Medical Center Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine were retrospectively analyzed.Results In 24 cases,there were 14 fetuses of supracardiac type,7 cases of intracardiac type,2 cases of infracardiac type,and 1 case of mixed type.15 fetuses had TAPVC only,whereas 9 cases were associated with other cardiovascular anomalies,most commonly including bilateral right atria,single atrium,single ventricle,common atrioventricular valve and pulmonary stenosis.On 4-chamber views,the common sonographic sign was absent of pulmonary venous return to the left atrium in 24 cases (100.0％),and the presence of venous confluence between left atrium and descending aorta was observed in 22 cases (91.7％).In all 24 cases,1 case was missed diagnosis,and 3 cases were misdiagnosed as persistent left superior vena cava,common pulmonary vein atresia and patent left atrial cardinal vein.Conclusion TAPVC can be accurately diagnosed by fetal echocardiography,but it is prone to be misdiagnosed.

Research on how to promote the students autonomous learning ability with the micro curriculum construction in the Biochemistry course / 国际中医中药杂志

The purpose of education is to cultivate talents who can master the ability of self-learning lifelong. With the rapid development of multimedia technology, the knowledge carrier represented by micro curriculum plays a very important role in improving students' self-learning ability. In traditional Chinese medicine college, due to the short of time, weak learning foundation, the ability of self-learning is hard to improve in the modern medical courses such as biochemistry. This is not conducive to the cultivation of modern talents of Chinese medicine. In this paper, we chose the biochemistry teaching in TCM college as an example, and discuss how we can make the application of micro courses reasonably in the teaching process. This study was regarded as a starting to improve the students' self-learning ability effectively.

Diagnosis of congenital malformations of the right atrium by echocardiography / 中华超声影像学杂志

Objective To review the imaging characteristics and evaluate the diagnostic value of echocardiography for congenital malformations of the right atrium(CMRA).Methods Doppler echocardiography was performed and these images were compared with operative findings in 1 1 children with CMRA.Results CMRA was characterized by idiopathic dilation of the right atrium and right heart appendage,congenital diverticulum of the right atrium and coronary sinus.CMRA consisted of idiopathic dilation of the right atrium(4 cases),congenital diverticulum of the right atrium(3 cases),idiopathic dilation of the right heart appendage(2 cases),and congenital diverticulum of the coronary sinus(2 cases).The associated malformations included patent foramen ovale(6 cases),atrial septal defect(3 cases),pulmonary hypertension(3 cases),and hypoplastic tricuspid valve(2 cases).Eight of 1 1 cases were diagnosed correctly,and other 3 cases were misdiagnosed,in which 1 case with idiopathic dilation of the right atrium misdiagnosed as Ebstein's anomaly,1 case with congenital diverticulum of the right atrium misdiagnosed as congenital enlargement of the right atrial appendage,and 1 case with congenital diverticulum of the coronary sinus misdiagnosed as coronary sinus stenosis.Conclusions CMRA could be diagnosed accurately by Doppler echocardiography,but it is prone to be misdiagnosed and must be distinguished from Ebstein's anomaly.
