Objective To explore the clinical characteristics prevalence of respiratory adenovirus infections in children, and to provide reference for diagnosis, monitoring and timely treatment. Methods A total of 775 clinical specimens were collected from Shanghai Children′s Medical Center during November 2016 to November 2017, and 84 cases of adenovirus infections were detected by FilmArray. Results Among 775 samples, 84 samples(10.8%) were adenovirus positive.The epidemic peak of adenovirus infection was winter, spring and summer, especially in winter(20.8%), and the highest detection rate was in January(32.2%). The age ranged from 6 months to 2 years(47.7%). The common clinical manifestations are fever(91.7%), cough(96.4%), wheezing(48.8%), and shortness of breath(14.2%). A total of 15 cases(17.9%) had underlying diseases, the most of them were congenital heart diseases(9 cases, 10.7%). A total of 53 cases(63.1%) were mixed infection, and 21 cases(25.0%) were complicated with human rhinovirus/enterovirus.There were 5 cases of upper respiratory tract infection, 3 cases of bronchitis and 76 cases of pneumonia, including 55 cases of mild pneumonia and 21 cases of severe pneumonia.The average length of hospital stay was 8.3 days.The length of hospital stay, cases of wheezing and severe cases in the mixed infection group were significantly higher than those in the single infection group(P<0.05). Hospitalization days, wheezing symptoms, extrapulmonary symptoms, basic diseases and mixed infections in severe group were significantly higher than those in mild group(P<0.05). Conclusion Adenovirus infection occurs in children aged 6 months to 2 years, with a high incidence in winter, spring and summer.The peak month is January.The main clinical manifestations are high fever, cough and wheezing.Children with underlying diseases, wheezing symptoms, extrapulmonary symptoms and mixed infections are more likely to develop severe diseases.FilmArray detection system can quickly and accurately detect pathogens, provide a good basis for early diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of clinicians.

Objective To study the effect of methylprednisolone shock therapy on electrical status epilepticus during sleep (ESES) in children and the changes of immune function before and after methylprednisolone shock therapy. Methods Thirty-five children hospitalized in pediatric neurology ward of Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from October 2017 to October 2018 were selected, including 19 children with newly diagnosed temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE group) and 16 children with initial diagnosis of TLE with ESES (ESES group), and 21 healthy children in the same period were selected as normal control group.A total of 32 cases with ESES who were taken oral administration of more than 2 anti-epileptic drugs(AEDs)ineffective were given methylprednisolone shock treatment for 3 days.Changes of lymphocyte subsets and cytokines among groups were compared. Results The longer the course of disease, the worse the prognosis of children with ESES.Compared with normal control group, the NK cell activity were significantly lower in children of ESES group(P<0.05). The levels of IL-6 were higher in children of ESES group compared with that in children of TLE group, and there was significant difference between two groups(P<0.05). In children with ESES who had poor therapeutic effect of oral AEDs, the proportion of peripheral blood B lymphocytes increased after methylprednisolone shock treatment, and the proportion of T lymphocyte subsets and NK cells decreased, and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). The levels of IL-2, IL-4 and IL-10 were higher than those before treatment, the levels of IL-6, IL-17, INF-γ and TNF were lower than those before treatment, and the difference between the level of IL-6 before and after treatment was statistically significant(P<0.05). EEG spike waves index decreased significantly after treatment, some children′s growth and development and cognitive function improved, all children had no serious infection, high blood pressure, electrolyte imbalance and other adverse reactions.The correlation between therapeutic effect and changes of immune indexes was statistically significant in levels of NK cells(r=0.50, P<0.01), B lymphocytes (r=0.35, P=0.04) and IL-6(r=0.46, P=0.01), and all of them were positively correlated(P<0.05). Conclusion Children with ESES have immune dysfunction and may have excessive inactivation of NK cells and elevated levels of IL-6.Congenital immunity and adaptive immunity may play a role in the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of ESES syndrome.Methylprednisolone shock therapy could significantly reduce the non-rapid eye movement discharge index in children with ESES.The mechanism may be related to the significant decrease of IL-6 level.It may also be related to redistribution of lymphocyte subsets, affecting cell differentiation and balancing various cytokines.

As an autoimmune disease involving the neuromuscular junction, the pathogenesis of myasthenia gravis(MG) is closely related to autoimmune antibodies.Regarding related antibodies, acetylcholine receptor antibody(AChR-Ab) is the most studied and clear.In recent years, researchers have began to study antibodies other than AChR-Ab due to the presence of AChR-Ab-negative MG patients, such as muscle-specific tyrosine kinase antibodies, low-density lipoprotein 4 antibodies, and explore the corresponding treatment options.This article reviewed the research progress of MG related antibodies, and provided clinical evidence and reference for the future treatment of this disease.

Objective To investigate the effects of neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist WIN 62, 577 on airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness in asthmatic mice. Methods Thirty-two BALB/c mice(Specific-pathogen-free grade) were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group, asthmatic group, WIN 62, 577 intervention group and dexamethasone group.The asthmatic group, the WIN 62, 577 intervention group, and the dexamethasone group were given intraperitoneal injection of 0.2 ml of OVA sensitization solution at 0 d, 7 d, and 14 d, respectively.Then the asthmatic group, WIN 62, 577 group and dexamethasone group were given OVA challenge solution(4% OVA solution) by inhalation once a day for 30 min from 21 d to 28 d for 7 consecutive days.The WIN 62, 577 intervention group was given WIN 62, 577 300 μg intraperitoneal injection 1 h before each challenge; the dexamethasone group was given intraperitoneal injection of dexamethasone 2 mg/kg 1 h before each challenge.The airway responsiveness of each group of mice was detected by non-invasive pulmonary function test.The bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) was obtained for inflammatory count.The HE staining of lung tissue was used to observe airway inflammation in mice. Results Compared with the asthmatic group, the mice in the WIN 62, 577 intervention group showed less restlessness, standing upright, crouching back, scratching the ears and scratching the cheeks, shortness of breath and cyanosis of the lips.After inhaling different concentrations of acetylcholine, the Penh value of mice in the WIN 62, 577 intervention group and the dexamethasone group was significantly lower than that in the asthmatic group(P<0.05). Compared with the asthmatic group, the number of WBC and EOS in BALF decreased significantly in the WIN 62, 577 intervention group and the dexamethasone group(P<0.01). HE staining showed that the inflammatory changes in the lung tissue of mice in the WIN 62, 577 intervention group were significantly reduced, the bronchial epithelium did not fall off significantly, the mucosal edema was not obvious, the smooth muscle proliferation was reduced, and the inflammatory cell infiltration was reduced, similar to the airway changes in the dexamethasone group.

Compared with the asthmatic group, the number of WBC and EOS in BALF decreased significantly in the WIN 62, 577 intervention group and the dexamethasone group(P<0.01). HE staining showed that the inflammatory changes in the lung tissue of mice in the WIN 62, 577 intervention group were significantly reduced, the bronchial epithelium did not fall off significantly, the mucosal edema was not obvious, the smooth muscle proliferation was reduced, and the inflammatory cell infiltration was reduced, similar to the airway changes in the dexamethasone group. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Conclusion \u0000Neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist WIN 62, 577 can reduce airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness in asthmatic mice. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Key words: \u0000Asthma; Inflammation; Hyperresponsiveness; Substance P; Neurokinin-1 receptor","PeriodicalId":68901,"journal":{"name":"中国小儿急救医学","volume":"27 1","pages":"105-109"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43637733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of novel coronavirus infection in children. Methods The clinical data of two children with novel coronavirus infection in Xi'an were retrospectively analyzed. The two confirmed cases in Xi'an were both mild cases, aged 3 years, 10 months, and 13 years, respectively. Both cases had a clear epidemiological contact history and had the characteristic of familial clustering. The two children developed fever and pharyngeal pain respectively, without any other symptoms. Chest imaging examination and important organ function showed no abnormalities. The blood routine examination showed that the white blood cell count and lymphocyte count were normal, and one case of fecal novel coronavirus nucleic acid test was positive. Conclusion Close contact within the family is the main way for children to be infected with novel coronavirus. Children cases are mainly mild and recessive infections. If children have a history of contact with epidemic areas or have a history of contact with people diagnosed with novel coronavirus infection, even if there is no fever and only mild respiratory symptoms, they need to be sent to designated hospitals in time.
