Effect of temperature maintenance by forced-air warming blankets of different temperatures on changes in inflammatory factors in children undergoing congenital hip dislocation surgery.

Background: Hypothermia is associated with many adverse clinical outcomes in pediatric patients, and thus, it is important to find an effective and safe method for preventing peri-operative hypothermia and its associated adverse outcomes in pediatric patients. This study aimed to investigate the effect of forced-air warming blankets with different temperatures on changes in the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-10 levels in children undergoing surgical treatment for developmental displacement of the hip (DDH).

Methods: The study included 123 children undergoing surgery for DDH under general anesthesia.

The Incidence of and Risk Factors for Postoperative Fever after Cleft Repair Surgery in Children.

Purpose: The characteristics of postoperative fever after cleft repair surgery in children are unknown. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of and risk factors for postoperative fever.

Design And Methods: We retrospectively assessed 328 children who underwent cleft surgery at our hospital between March 2016 and April 2017 and were followed up for at least 3 days postoperatively.

A survey of five first-level hospital ethics committees in Urumqi, China.

This paper presents the results from a survey of first-level hospitals in Urumqi, China. The survey had two parts: the first part was aimed at understanding the operation of the ethics committees of first-level hospitals, including the process for electing members and the variety of members' backgrounds. Information was also gathered about the establishment of criteria, operational rules and regulations, and standard operational procedures.

Regioselective synthesis of 1,3,5-substituted benzenes via the InCl(3)/2-iodophenol-catalyzed cyclotrimerization of alkynes.

A novel indium(III)-catalyzed cyclotrimerization of alkynes in the presence of 2-iodophenol gave 1,3,5-substituted benzenes in excellent yields with complete regioselectivity. The reaction condition is tolerant to air, and atom economical, in accordance with the concept of modern green chemistry. This method provides a rapid and efficient access to 1,3,5-substituted benzenes.
