Risk factors for new renal scarring in children with vesicoureteral reflux receiving continuous antibiotic prophylaxis.

To investigate the risk factors for new renal scarring (NRS) in children with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) receiving continuous antibiotic prophylaxis (CAP). This was a single-center cohort study. The clinical data of 140 children with grade I-V VUR receiving CAP were analyzed.

Renal abscess complicating acute pyelonephritis in children: Two cases report and literature review.

Rationale: To describe the diagnostic and treatment approaches of renal abscesses complicated with acute pyelonephritis in children.

Patient Concerns: Two children presented with fever, vomiting, and abdominal pain with no typical manifestations, like frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, hematuria, foam urine, and lumbago. Renal abscess complicating acute pyelonephritis was diagnosed by B-ultrasound and computed tomography enhancement.

Risk factors for breakthrough urinary tract infection in children with vesicoureteral reflux receiving continuous antibiotic prophylaxis.

Background: To investigate the risk factors for breakthrough urinary tract infection (BT-UTI) in children with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) receiving continuous antibiotic prophylaxis (CAP).

Methods: This was a single-centre cohort study (January 2016 to December 2019). The clinical data of 256 children with grade I-V VUR receiving CAP were analysed.

Pathogen distribution and bacterial resistance in children with severe pneumonia: A single-center retrospective study.

To examine the etiological distribution of pathogens in pediatric patients with severe pneumonia and analyze the drug resistance of major pathogen species.Nasopharyngeal secretion specimens were collected for bacterial culture from pediatric patients admitted to the Xiamen children's hospital who were diagnosed with severe pneumonia from January 2016 to December 2019. Pathogen species were detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction, direct immunofluorescence, and bacterial culture and we examined the drug susceptibility of the bacterial pathogens.

Shwachman-diamond syndrome: A case report.

Rationale: The aim of this study was to analyze the genetic abnormalities and clinical manifestations of Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS).

Patient Concerns: A Chinese infant with elevated transaminase and a novel mutation at of sbdsc.258 +2T>C and c.

Clinical Analysis of 122 Cases with Mycoplasma Pneumonia Complicated with Atelectasis: A Retrospective Study.

Introduction: This study aims to explore the clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognosis of mycoplasma pneumonia complicated with atelectasis.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 122 children with mycoplasma pneumonia complicated with atelectasis. These children were hospitalized in the Xiamen Campus of the Pediatric Hospital of Fudan University and the Children's Hospital of Xiamen between December 2015 and December 2018.

The Action Representation Elicited by Different Types of Drug-Related Cues in Heroin-Abstinent Individuals.

Drug related cue-induced reactivity plays a significant role in maintaining drug use and relapse in addicted individuals. The activation of Dorsolateral striatum-Sensorimotor system (DLS-SM) has been suggested as an important route through which drug cues may induce automatic drug using behavior. The current study used fMRI to investigate the reactivity of heroin abstinent individuals to different types of cues, to clarify the characteristics of the cues that induce the activation of the sensorimotor area.

The similarities and differences in impulsivity and cognitive ability among ketamine, methadone, and non-drug users.

The study aimed to identify similarities and differences among ketamine, methadone users, and non-drug-using controls, on impulsivity, antisocial personality, and related cognitive abilities. A case-control observational design was used to compare the impulsivity and cognitive function of ketamine users (n = 51), methadone users (n=59), and controls (n=60). Antisocial personality traits and emotion states were also measured.
