IDAwas defined as Hb < 12 g/dl, MCHC< 31%, ROW index > 220and Mentzer index> 13. Elementary school children (6-12 yearsold) with IDA were randomly assigned to the treatment groupwith a daily therapy of 6 mg iron/kg/day or placebo group for three months. The subjects' behavior was evaluated with child behavior check list (CBCL) before and six months after intervention.Results After six months, 110 subjects completed the therapy.Scores of CBCL in iron group after intervention were internalizing42.64 (SO 9.95), externalizing 37.13 (SO 9.04) & total score 38.24 (SO 10.20). There was significant decreased on externalizing and total problems score in the treatment group after intervention (P< 0.05). However, there was no significant difference on scores between groups.Conclusion Iron therapy had significantly decrease CBCL scoreon externalizing and total problems in the treatment group,however there was no significant difference on scores if comparedwith placebo group.

Abstract

Septic shock remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in children admitted to pediatric intensive care unit. The incidence of septic shock increased in 30-40 years, with estimate 7% of total deaths in children due to severe sepsis and septic shock. The cardiovascular system is one of the most commonly affected organ in a state of severe sepsis and septic shock. Troponin I is a good marker for assessing the extent of heart muscle damage and elevated levels of troponin I in sepsis patients reflects the severity of the disease, myocardial dysfunction, and poor prognosis. Septic shock patients with impaired cardiac function have an increased risk of mortality 70% to 90% when compared to patients with or without cardiac dysfunction.Keywords : septic shock; troponin I; mortality
