Research progress on the pathogenesis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder based on the theory of Dopamine deficits / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder in childhood, which seriously affects physical and mental health in children.Its etiology and pathogenesis are complex and have not been fully elucidated.Currently, the theory of Dopamine (DA) deficits has been widely recognized and studied in the international academic community.The DA system is considered as the key to the pathogenesis of ADHD.The causes of DA deficits are complex.In addition to the well-established reuptake disorder caused by abnormal DA transporter function, DA deficits are also associated with the activation of DA vesicle cycle enzymatic inactivation, vesicle transport dysfunction, and receptor dysfunction, which are of great significance in analyzing disease pathogenesis and drug development.This article reviews the research on the causes of DA deficits proposed in recent years based on the theory of DA deficits, aiming to provide ideas and references for the research on the pathogenesis of ADHD in China.

Single-site intracorporeal purse-string stitching versus single-port extracorporeal knotting for laparoscopic inguinal inner ring closure in children: a comparative study / 中华普通外科杂志

Objective To compare the surgical and functional outcomes of single-site (transumbilical two-port) intracorporeal purse-suturing (IP) and single-port extracorporeal knotting (EK) for laparoscopic pediatric inguinal hernia (PIH) repair.Methods Between June 2008 and December 2014,358 PIH children underwent lapamscopic inguinal herniorrhaphy,including 126 treated by single-site intracorporeal purse string stitching using a needle-holder (IP group),and 232 by single-port extracorporeal knotting using an inner two-hook needle with preperitoneal hydrodissection (EK group).Results In all patients laparoscopic procedures were completed successfully without conversion.The operating time in IP group was significantly longer than that in EK group [unilateral:(20.4 ± 2.1) min vs.(9.4 ± 1.3) min,t=-5.23,P＜0.01;bilateral:(31.3 ±2.9) min vs.(15.2±1.7) min,t=-4.22,P＜0.01)].The hospital stay were similar between the two groups [(2.35 ±0.25) d vs.(2.38 ±0.18) d,t =-0.062,P ＞ 0.05].Five cases had intraoperative hematoma in the IP group while none in the EK group.One each suffered from recurrence in IP group and EK group.Three postoperative hydroceles were seen in IP group and one in EK group.Subcutaneous knot granulomas were seen in two in EK group.Conclusions Both IP and EK laparoscopic procedures are safe and feasible.With the assistance of preperitoneal hydrodissection technique,single-port laparoscopic EK herniorraphy is superior to single-site IP repair in easy performance and shorter operation time.

Research progress of minimally invasive surgery for congenital diaphragmatic hernia / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia(CDH) is characterized by a spectrum developmental defects in the diaphragm caused by embryogenesis disorders,and lead to incomplete fusion of elements which results in rise of the diaphragm.With the promotion of antenatal diagnosis,postoperation rehabilitation and neonatal intensive care unite,the mortality of CDH has been remarkably decreased.Nevertheless,the condition is uncommon enough that it has proven to be difficult to conduct prospective studies,leading to the lack of evidence of evidence-based medicine to explore the pathological mechanism and therapies.With the rise of endoscopic technique,the laparoscopy and thoracoscopy are also gradually carried out for the surgical management of CDH.Now,the minimally invasive surgery for CDH was reviewed.
