ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Zika virus (ZIKV) is an enveloped, single-stranded RNA arbovirus belonging to the genus Flavivirus. It was first isolated from a sentinel monkey in Uganda in 1947. More recently, ZIKV has undergone rapid geographic expansion and has been responsible for outbreaks in Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, and America. In this review, we have highlighted the influence of viral genetic variants on ZIKV pathogenesis. Two major ZIKV genotypes (African and Asian) have been identified. The Asian genotype is subdivided into Southwest Asia, Pacific Island, and American strains, and is responsible for most outbreaks. Non-synonymous mutations in ZIKV proteins C, prM, E, NS1, NS2A, NS2B, NS3, and NS4B were found to have a higher prevalence and association with virulent strains of the Asian genotype. Consequently, the Asian genotype appears to have acquired higher cellular permissiveness, tissue persistence, and viral tropism in human neural cells. Therefore, mutations in specific coding regions of the Asian genotype may enhance ZIKV infectivity. Considering that mutations in the genomes of emerging viruses may lead to new virulent variants in humans, there is a potential for the re-emergence of new ZIKV cases in the future.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: La capacidad vital (VC) se puede determinar mediante la capacidad vital espiratoria (EVC) o la capacidad vital ins piratoria (IVC). Obtener el mayor volumen de VC es fundamental para la correcta interpretación de las pruebas de función pulmonar. Objetivos: Determinar las diferencias entre EVC y IVC (EVC-IVC) según el patrón ventilatorio; Caracterizar las relaciones FEV1/EVC y FEV1/IVC en la detección de obstrucción de las vías aéreas; Estudiar los efectos de realizar EVC o IVC en la detección de air trapping o de hiperinflación pulmonar. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio transversal. La muestra incluyó 388 individuos que se dividieron en 3 grupos: sanos, obstrucción de las vías aéreas y restricción pulmonar. Para detectar la obstrucción de las vías aéreas, se estudiaron las relaciones FEV1/EVC y FEV1/IVC. La presencia de air trapping o hiperinflación pulmonar se determinó mediante análisis del volumen pulmonar. As diferencias entre EVC e IVC (EVC-IVC) de acuerdo con el padrón ventilatorio fueron agrupados por clases. Resultados: En el grupo normal, 34.8% tuvo una diferencia EVC-IVC ≥ 200 ml, en el grupo de obstrucción de las vías respirato rias 28.4% y en la restricción pulmonar 22.4%, respectivamente. La relación FEV1/EVC detectó obstrucción de las vías aéreas en el 44.8% de los individuos y la relación FEV1/IVC en el 39.4%. En sujetos con obstrucción de las vías respiratorias, la maniobra de EVC determinó el air trapping en el 21.6% de los sujetos y la hiperinflación pulmonar en el 9.5%. En la maniobra de IVC, los porcentajes fueron 18.2% y 10.8%, respectivamente. Conclusiones: El EVC y el IVC no deben considerarse maniobras intercambiables, debido a las diferencias de volumen obtenidas por cada uno de ellos. Los resultados que provienen de su uso influyeron en la interpretación de la función pulmonar.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Introduction: The vital capacity (VC) can be determined by means of the expiratory vital capacity (EVC) or the inspiratory vital capacity (IVC). Obtaining the highest VC volume is essential for the correct interpretation of lung function tests. Objectives: To determine the differences between the EVC and the IVC (EVC-IVC) according to the ventilatory pattern; to characterize the FEV1/EVC and FEV1/IVC ratios when an obstruction of the airways is detected; to study the effects of the EVC or IVC on the detec tion of air trapping or lung hyperinflation. Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional study. The sample included 388 individuals divided in 3 groups: healthy, airway obstruc tion, and restrictive lung disease. In order to detect the airway obstruction, we studied the FEV1/EVC and FEV1/IVC ratios. The presence of air trapping or lung hyperinflation was determined by means of a lung volume test. The differences between the EVC and the IVC (EVC-IVC) according to the ventilatory pattern were grouped into classes. Results: In the normal group, there was an EVC-IVC difference of ≥ 200 ml in 34.8% of the individuals; in the airway obstruction group, 28.4%, and in the restrictive lung disease group, 22.4%. The FEV1/EVC ratio detected airway obstruction in 44.8% of the individuals, and the FEV1/IVC ratio in 39.4%. In patients with airway obstruction, the EVC maneuver determined the presence of air trapping in 21.6% of subjects and lung hyperinflation in 9.5%. The IVC maneuver showed 18.2% and 10.8%, respectively. Conclusions: The EVC and IVC should not be used as interchangeable maneuvers, considering the volume differences obtained with each one of them. Their results influenced the interpretation of lung function.
