Malnutrition is directly related to the outcomes of critically ill children. Providing ideal nutritional treatment can reduce the high catabolic state caused by the critically ill, reduce oxidative damage and regulate immune response, then improving clinical prognosis. Optimized nutritional supply for critically ill children has been transformed from auxiliary support to one of the important treatment methods. Enteral nutrition is the preferred way to provide nutrition, but parenteral nutrition is the only method of supplement and replacement when the supply of enteral nutrition is insufficient or deficient. This article reviews the timing of parenteral nutrition initiation, protein and amino acids in parenteral nutrition, the mechanism of possible adverse effects in early parenteral nutrition, and issues related to parenteral nutrition in premature infants, in order to help clinicians in pediatric intensive care unit improve the evaluation and management of parenteral nutrition use.
Objective To analyze the effectiveness of combined treatment of lumbar spondylolisthesis with MED, Quadrant, and Sextant-R systems. Methods Between August 2006 and June 2011, 35 patients with lumbar spondylolisthesis were treated, including 11 cases of isthmic spondylolisthesis and 24 cases of degenerative spondylolisthesis. There were 25 males and 10 females, with a mean age of 55 years (range, 33-71 years). The mean disease duration was 37 months (range, 8-75 months). Spondylolisthesis occurred at L4, 5 level in 21 patients and at L5, S1 level in 14 patients. According to Meyerding classification, 35 cases were rated as dergee I. The minimally invasive surgeries were performed by paraspinal muscle approach; Quadrant system was used for decompression and fusion at severe side, MED system for windowing of lamina at mild side, and Sextant-R system for fixation and reduction. Visual analogue scale (VAS) score was used to evaluate pain, Oswestry disability index (ODI) to evaluate clinical outcomes, spondylolishesis ratio and intervertebral height to evaluate spondylolisthesis reduction. Results Lumbar continuous thin layer CT at postoperation showed that no pedicle screw invaded spinal canal and intervertebral fusion device was at good position. Incisions healed by first intention. All patients were followed up 18-38 months (mean, 26 months). All patients got bone fusion and had no internal fixation failure by radiologic examination at 1 year after operation. Low back pain was relieved, lumbar function improved obviously, and satisfactory reduction of spondylolisthesis was obtained. At 2 weeks and 1 year after operation, the VAS score, ODI score, spondylolisthesis ratio, and intervertebral height were significantly improved when compared with preoperative ones (P lt; 0.05). VAS score and ODI score showed significant differences (P lt; 0.05) between at 2 weeks and 1 year after operation. Spondylolisthesis ratio and intervertebral height showed no significant difference (P gt; 0.05) between at 2 weeks and at 1 year after operation. Conclusion Minimally invasive surgical management for lumbar spondylolisthesis via MED, Quadrant, and Sextant-R systems is a safe and effective surgical technique. However, its indications should be well considered.
Objective To discuss the effects of the temporoparietal fascial flap and the postauricular fascial flap as the materials to cover the postauricular-frame during the second stage operation of the total auricular reconstruction Methods From June 2005 to May 2007, the second stage elevation of the reconstructed auricle was performed at 6-10 months after the first stage total auricular reconstruction for 72 cases (left 31, right 41), 47 males and 25 females, aged 5-28 years old (12on average). According to the Nagata’s classification, 56 cases were lobule-type microtia with no external auditory canal, and the other 16 cases were concha-type microtia with external auditory canal (narrow in 9 cases). Homolateral temporoparietal fascial flap was used to cover the postauricular-frame in 29 patients (group A), and the homolateral postauricular fascial flap was used in the other 43 patients (group B). Results All the patients were followed up for 3-22 months. A total of 55 cases had excellent skin flap and fascial flap (22 in group A and 33 in group B). Darker epidermis could be seen in 15 cases (6 in group A and 9 in group B), and it healed within one month after the operation. Two cases (1 in group A and 1 in group B) suffering from partial grafted skin and fascial flap necrosis (lt; 1 cm2) healed by means of coverage of local flap transfer. All the patients’ reconstructed auriculocephal ic angles were close to the normal side. There existed scars of varying degrees at the area of skin graft in both groups: 47 cases had flat scars (19 in group A and 28 in group B); 18 cases had hyperplastic scars (7 in group A and 11 in group B); and 7 cases had severe scars with the auriculocephal ic angles draw-off (3 in group A and 4 in group B). Furthermore, there were obvious scars in temporal region and severe hair thinning at the donor site in group A, but there were no such conditions in group B. At 6 months of follow-up, reduction of the auriculocephal ic angle occurred in 3 cases of group A and obvious in 5 cases of group B (gt; 0.5 cm). Conclusion Both the temporoparietal fascial flap and the postauricular fascial flap can be appl ied to cover the postauricular-framework in the second stage reconstructed ear elevation, with superiority of the latter over the former.
Objective To summarize the effectiveness of 3.5 mm T support plate fixation for simple postero-lateral tibial plateau fractures by posterolateral inverted L-shaped approach. Methods Between March 2011 and January 2016, 13 patients with simple posterolateral tibial plateau fracture were treated with 3.5 mm T support plate fixation by posterolateral inverted L-shaped approach. Of 13 cases, 6 were male and 7 were female, aged 28 to 52 years (mean, 43 years). The left side was involved in 5 cases and the right side in 8 cases. The causes of injury were traffic accidents in 6 cases, falls in 3 cases, and falling from height in 4 cases. All of patients had fresh closed fracture by X-ray, CT three dimensional reconstruction, and MRI. According to Schatzker classification, 4 cases were rated as type II and 9 cases as type III. The time between injury and operation was 5-9 days (mean, 7 days). Results One case had incision skin necrosis, which was cured after debridement and skin grafting; and primary healing was obtained in the other cases. The patients were followed up 10-16 months (mean, 13 months). The X-ray film showed that the fracture line was blurred at 3 months after operation, and disappeared at 12 months after operation. There was no complications of wound infection, major neurovascular injury, loosening or breakage of internal fixation, and dislocation of joint surface. The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee function score was 94 (range, 89-97) at last follow-up; all were excellent. Conclusion The 3.5 mm T support plate fixation by posterolateral inverted L-shaped approach is one of preferred surgical method for the treatment of simple posterolateral tibial plateau fractures.
ObjectiveTo summarize the experience of diagnosis and treatment of a case of adult hepatic fibrohistiocytoma with recurrent rupture and hemorrhage.MethodsRetrospective analysis on this case of recurrent adult fibrohistiocytoma with rupture and hemorrhage admitted to Shengjing Hospital Affiliated to China Medical University in May 2018 was conducted, discussion on MDT was conducted before surgery, and the causes of recurrent rupture and hemorrhage, as well as the experience of diagnosis and treatment were summarized and analyzed.ResultsThis patient was generally in good condition. After MDT discussions among the imaging department, oncology department, interventional department, and hepatobiliary surgeons, it was considered that surgical treatment was the best treatment scheme. After full communication with the patient and his family, the patient had chosen open tumor resection and the operation was smooth. The operation time was 278 min, intraoperative bleeding was about 100 mL, and no blood transfusion was performed. No bleeding, abdominal infection, gastroparesis, and other complications occurred after the operation, and the patient was discharged successfully on the 13th day after the operation. The patient had been interviewed for 8 months and the tumor recurred again 1 month ago. Currently, oral apatinib had been targeted for treatment for more than 1 month, and the follow-up treatment continued.ConclusionsRecurrent adult fibrous histiocytoma with rupture and hemorrhage is rare in clinical practice, and the treatment is mainly based on surgical resection. Postoperative comprehensive treatment combined with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, molecular targeting, and immunotherapy is the main treatment. Its short-term efficacy is satisfactory, but long-term efficacy still needs to befurther observed.
ObjectiveTo investigate the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress in liver regeneration after associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS).MethodsSeventy-two C57bl/6 mice were randomly divided into ALPPS group, portal vein ligation group (PVL group), and sham operation group (Sham group), 24 mice in each group. And then one-stage ALPPS operation, simple PVL, and sham operation will be performed. Six mice were randomized selected of the three groups on the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 7th day after surgery, respectively, the liver weight to body weight ratio (FLR/BW) of each group was measured, and the liver tissues were taken for immunohistochemical staining to calculate the proportion of Ki-67 positive cells, Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1) and inositol-requiring enzyme 1α (IRE1α) proteins.Results① FLR/BW: On the 4th day and the 7th day after operation, the FLR/BW of the Sham group, PVL group, and ALPPS group increased in sequence at the same time, and the difference between the three groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). ② Ki-67 positive cell ratio: On the 2nd day after operation, the ratio of Ki-67 positive cells in the Sham group, PVL group, and ALPPS group increased sequentially, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). On the 4th day after operation, the ratio of Ki-67 positive cells in the PVL group and the ALPPS group were still higher than that of the Sham group (P<0.05). ③ Expression levels of XBP1 and IRE1α: On the 2nd and 4th postoperative day, the expression levels of XBP1 and IRE1α in the ALPPS group were higher than those in the Sham group and the PVL group (P<0.05). On the 7th day after surgery, the expression levels of XBP1 and IRE1α in the ALPPS group were higher than those in the Sham group (P<0.05), while compared with the PVL group, the expression level of XBP1 in the ALPPS group was still higher (P<0.05).ConclusionsALPPS-induced liver regeneration is more advantageous than traditional PVL in mice. It may be attributed to the obvious endoplasmic reticulum stress activation after ALPPS leading to the up-regulation of IRE1α-XBP1 expression, which is involved in the regulation of hepatocyte cell cycle and promotes hepatocyte proliferation, thus promoting rapid liver regeneration.
Ultrasonic examination is a common method in thyroid examination, and the results are mainly composed of thyroid ultrasound images and text reports. Implementation of cross modal retrieval method of images and text reports can provide great convenience for doctors and patients, but currently there is no retrieval method to correlate thyroid ultrasound images with text reports. This paper proposes a cross-modal method based on the deep learning and improved cross-modal generative adversarial network: ①the weight sharing constraints between the fully connection layers used to construct the public representation space in the original network are changed to cosine similarity constraints, so that the network can better learn the common representation of different modal data; ②the fully connection layer is added before the cross-modal discriminator to merge the full connection layer of image and text in the original network with weight sharing. Semantic regularization is realized on the basis of inheriting the advantages of the original network weight sharing. The experimental results show that the mean average precision of cross modal retrieval method for thyroid ultrasound image and text report in this paper can reach 0.508, which is significantly higher than the traditional cross-modal method, providing a new method for cross-modal retrieval of thyroid ultrasound image and text report.

The MLC-based step and shoot IMRT(sIMRT) plan needs much more segment member to meet clinical aims. In this study, several sIMRT plans using different segment number for postoperative rectal cancer were compared to find out the most reasonable segment number setting. Methods Ten patients with rectal carcinoma underwent postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy for rectal cancer from April to August 2010 were selected. For each patient, the angle of field, the prescription expected and the physical parameters optimized were kept the same, while only the number of segments was changed in sIMRT plans. The dose volume histogram-based parameters [conformity index (CI) and homogeneous index (HI)] and other parameters concerned were compared and analyzed. Results The indexes of dosimetry associated with the targets and risk organs showed no significant statistical difference among the 4 sIMRT plans with different segment numbers. The index CI of PTV in the sIMRT plan with 15 segments (CI 0.74±0.06) was less than that in the sIMRT plan with 25 segments (CI 0.82±0.03), the sIMRT plan with 40 segments plan (CI 0.81±0.06), and the sIMRT plan with 60 segments (CI 0.84±0.03) (Plt;0.05). There were significant differences in MU among the sIMRT plans with 15 segments (average MU: 458±56) , with 25 segments (average MU: 559±62 ), and with 40 segments (average MU: 614±74)or with the 60 segments (average MU: 622±82 (Plt;0.05). The more segments meant more MU and more irradiation time. Conclusion The sIMRT plan for patients of rectal cancer to receive postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy may require at least 25 segments to balance the accepted dose results and efficient delivering.
