Comparison of Ultrasound Guided Saline Enema and X-ray-Guided Air Enema in the Treatment of Intussusception Reduction in Children.

To compare the effect of ultrasound guided saline enema (USGSE) and x-ray fluoroscopic air enema in the reduction of intussusception in children, 80 children with intussusception were randomly divided into ultrasonic-guided saline enema reduction in 40 cases (USGSE group) and x-ray air enema reduction in 40 cases (air enema group). The enema pressure, success rate, average time, and cost of the 2 methods were compared. The average operation time of the USGSE group was lower than that of the air group ([5.

Process Management of Intussusception in Children: A Retrospective Analysis in China.

Objectives: This was a retrospective analysis of the epidemiological features of pediatric intussusception, the effects of different management strategies and the factors affecting successful reduction.

Methods: Using our hospital database, data on pediatric intussusception from January 2019 to December 2020 were extracted for analysis, including demographic data, size of intussusception, treatment method, and effects.

Results: The number of children diagnosed with intussusception was 726 (782 episodes).

The value of diffusion tensor imaging for differentiating autism spectrum disorder with language delay from developmental language disorder among toddlers.

Background: Impaired language function is frequently observed as an initial sign in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, clinically, the early stages of ASD are difficult to distinguish from those of developmental language disorder (DLD).

Objective: To evaluate the ability of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters for language-related white matter tracts (arcuate fasciculus) to differentiate ASD from DLD among toddlers.

Extraordinary spin density and energy back-flow under interference.

A novel phenomenon was reported recently that the "local optical spin density" based on the Poynting vector might be counter-intuitively opposite to the integrated spin orientation while the one related to the gauge-invariant canonical expression might not [Phys. Lett. B779, 385 (2018)].

[Effect of synergistic polarization macrophage modulated by N-terminal domain of a2 vacuolar ATPase and macrophage colony stimulating factor on proliferation of gastric cancer cells].

Objective: To investigate the synergistic effect between the N-terminus domain of the a2 isoform of vacuolar ATPase (a2NTD) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) on modulating macrophage polarization and the impact of polarized macrophages on proliferation of gastric cancer cells.

Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were derived from healthy donor and induced into macrophages. Then macrophages were randomly divided into four groups: the control group (RPMI 1640), the experimental group I (M-CSF 100 μg/L), the experimental group II (a2NTD 500 μg/L) and the experimental group III (a2NTD 500 μg/L plus M-CSF 100 μg/L).
