    Abstract ( )  
    ObjectiveTo explore the seroconversion of hepatitis B markers in the neonates born to hepatitis B carrier women.MethodsA total of 500 neonates born to the women positive for hepatitis B surface antigens (HBsAg)were recruited.Depending on the hepatitis B e-antigens(HBeAg)status of their mothers,they were divided into two groups.Group A had 144 cases,the serum HBeAg of their mother was positive,and Group B had 356 cases,the serum HBeAg being negative.All neonates received 100IU HBIG within 12 h of birth and followed by 3 doses 5μg hepatitis B vaccination at birth and at the age of one and six months schedule.The hepatitis B serologic markers of infants were followed up at birth and at the age of one and six months.ResultsThere were 24 and 9 neonates in group A and B respectively with serum HBsAg(+)and HBeAg(+)at birth.After six months of follow-up,there were 10 cases in Group A and 5 cases in Group B with HBsAg positive constantly.There were no significant difference between Group A and B in the HbsAg conversion rate,4 and 21 neonates in Group A and B respectively with serum HBsAg(+)and HBeAg(-)at birth.Of them,the seroconversion rate to HBsAg negativity was 100% and 85.7% in Group A and B respectively at six months visit.No significant difference was found between two groups.There were 29 infants in Group A tested HBsAg(-)/HBeAg(+)at birth,it was significantly higher than the rate of Group B(29/144 vs 3/356),P<0.01.Of them,the neonatal seroconversion rate to HBsAg positivity at six months of age was 6.9% and 100% respectively in Group A and B,the difference being significant between two groups,P=0.037.There were 87 infants in Group A and 323 infants in Group B tested HBsAg(-)/HBeAg(-)at birth.Of them 2 cases and no cases in Group A and B tested positive for HBsAg at the 6-month visit.No significant difference was found in their seroconversion rate to HBsAg positive.ConclusionNeonates would not be diagnosed as intrauterine infection of HBV when their serum HBsAg was positive at birth.The prognosis of neonates with HBeAg-positive at birth correlats with their maternal HBeAg status.

    Abstract ( )  
    ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of coronary aneurysm in children with Kawasaki disease.MethodsCoronary aneurysm was identified by using echocardiography in 63 children with Kawasaki disease from 2000 to 2007.Their gender,age,clinical presentations,use of intravenous gamma immunoglobulin (IVIG),laboratory study results and echocardiographic study results in the acute and convalescent phase were examined retrospectively.Results(1) Boys and infants were more likely to develop coronary aneurysms,the male to female ratio being 5.3∶1,and for patients with giant aneurysms the male to female ratio was 8.3∶1.(2)The rate of incomplete KD,IVIG non-responders and recurrence in this group of patients were 36.5%,30.2% and 7.9%,respectively,which were higher than the whole KD group.In the acute phase,57 of 63 patients were treated by IVIG with different doses,3 of them did not receive IVIG treatment and the other 3 patients’ IVIG treatments were unknown.The duration from onset to IVIG treatment was longer than 10 days in 36 of the 63 (57.1%) children.(3) Small aneurysms were detected by 2-D echo in 7 patients,medium aneurysms in 19 patients and giant aneurysm in 37 patients.In all of these patients,76.2% of them had left coronary artery aneurysms,and 87.3% of them had right coronary artery aneurysms;47.3% of them had both left and right aneurysms.In the patients with left coronary aneurysms,58.3% of them have left anterior descending branch aneurysms; and in patients with right coronary aneurysms,47.3% of them were located in the right coronary artery segment II.(4) Coronary aneurysm regressed in 71.4 % of the branches.The lumen diameter of the affected branches returned to normal in 45.2% of them,with a mean regression time of 2.1±1.5 years.ConclusionBeing male,younger than 1 year old,incomplete KD,IVIG non-responder,recurrence and later IVIG treatment are possible risk factors of coronary aneurysms in children with Kawasaki disease.Most children have multi-coronary artery aneurysms and left anterior descending branch and right coronary artery are the most commonly affected branches,and most of the coronary aneurysms have the tendency to regress during the convalescent phase.

    Abstract ( )  
    ObjectiveThe correlations between heights of children and mid-parental height(MPH),and the average of two parent’s height were investigated and the growth charts of Chinese children’s height allowing for height of parents were presented.MethodsThe subjects were 13401(boys 6868,girls 6533)normal children aged 2~16 years,from middle and upper socio-economic classes of five cities in the south and north of China.The height centile curves of children were smoothing by BCPE model.The equations between child height SDS and MPH were fitted by linear regression.ResultsThe correlations between heights of children and mid-parental height(MPH)are between 0.43 and 0.55 before adolescence,and in adolescence this holds generally for pairs of variables when the children were grouped based on skeletal ages.Hence,the regressive equations between child height SDS and MPH were fitted for the subsections of 2~9 years,skeletal age 10~16 in boys and 10~15 in girls,respectively.ConclusionThe growth charts of Chinese children’s height allowing for height of parents are useful in differential diagnosis of short children,especially in genetic small stature.
