ABSTRACT
Objective To study the epidemiological characteristics of Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease of chil-dren in Zhongshancity from 2011 to 2015 and provide etiological evident for the prevention and control of Hand -Foot -Mouth Disease of children in Zhongshan city. Methods We analyzed the data of children with Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease in Zhongshan Boai 's Hospital from 2011 to 2015. The enterovirus nucleic acid of Hand-Foot-Mouth Diseaseof children were detected. Results Atotal of 31164 cases of Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease were diagnosed in Zhongshan Boai′s Hospital during 2011-2015,the ratio of male to female was 1.62:1. Every year,the peak inci-dence of the disease is not the same. During 2011-2015,there were 10147 cases of Hand-Foot-Mouth Diseaseof children,among which,through viral nucleic acid EV71and CoxA16testing,2062 cases were positive and the positve rate was 20.32%. Pathogen of Hand-Foot-Mouth Diseasewas mainly based on EV71 in 2011,2012, 2013and2015,accounting for the total positive rate of 79.04%,72.46%,81.60%,73.73%respectively;Pathogen of Hand -Foot -Mouth Diseasewas mainly based on Cox16 in 2014,accounted for 54.47% of the total positive. In different years EV71 and CoxA16 positive rate was significant different.There were 1982 cases repeated Hand-Foot-MouthDiseaseinfectioins .Conclusion The incidence of Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease of children is related to age , sex and season in Zhongshan city. It is mainly based on clinical diagnosis ,the preventive measures and the clinical recognition in time to provide help for the treatment and control of Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease of children.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between the C161T polymorphisms in peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) gene and atherothrombotic infarction (ATI) in a Chinese Han population.Methods The patients with atherothrombotic infarction and controls,who without histories of stroke,transient ischemic attack and myocardial infarction were enrolled.Genotypes of the PPARγ C161T polymorphisms were determined using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism.The frequencies of genotype and allele in patients with ATI and controls were compared.Results A total of 112 ATI patients and 112 controls were enrolled.There were no significant differences in the age (67.9± 11.73 years vs.66.5 ± 10.35 years; t =0.386,P =0.701) and the proportion of male (61.61％ vs.58.04％ ;x2 =0.297,P =0.586) in the ATI group and the control group.The proportions of hypertension (59.82％ vs.44.62％ ;x2 =5.171,P =0.023),type 2 diabetes mellitus (26.79％ vs.9.82％;x2 =10.778,P =0.001) in the ATI group were significantly higher than those in the control group.Body mass index (25.13±1.86 kg/m2 vs.24.11 ± 1.81 kg/m2; t =3.543,P=0.001),systolic pressure (158.84 ± 20.15 mm Hg vs.135.82 ± 19.58 mm Hg; t =7.350,P =0.000),diastolic pressure (76.90 ± 13.64 mm Hg vs.68.90 ± 8.52 mm Hg; t =4.374,P =0.000) and the level of fasting blood glucose (6.523 ± 2.831 mmol/L vs.5.706 ± 2.177 mmol/L; t =2.026,P =0.044) in the ATI group were significantly higher than those in the control group.The genotype frequencies of CC,CT and TT in the ATI group were 77.7％,17.0％ and 5.4％,respectively,and in the control group were 69.6％,22.3％ and 8.0％,respectively.There were no significant difference between the two groups (x2 =1.909,P =0.385).The allele frequencies of C and T in the ATI group were 86.2％ and 13.8％,respectively,and in the control group were 80.8％ and 19.2％,respectively.There were no significant difference between the two groups (x2 =2.331,P =0.127).Conclusions PPARγ C161T polymorphisms may be not associated with the onset of ATI in a Chinese Han population.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the predictive values of the pulsatility index detected by transcranial Doppler (TCD) and serum neuron-specific enolase (NES) in patients achieved return of spontaneous circulation after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Methods The patients with CPR restoration of spontaneous circulation who were still in coma were divided into survival group and death group. TCD monitoring and serum NSE detection were performed at 48 hours after CPR restoration of spontaneous circulation. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the predictive values of the pulsatility index detected by TCD and serum NES in patients after successful CPR. Results Seventy patients were collected, 32 patients (19 males and 13 females) in the survival group, age 54. 63 ± 13. 28 years; 38 patients (22 males and 16 females) in the death group, age 58. 00 ± 13. 15 years. There were no significant differences in age and gender between the survival and death groups. The pulsatility index was 1. 217 + 0. 352 in the death group, and it was significantly higher than 0.841 +0. 163 in the survival group; the serum NSE content was 130. 968±59.634 ng/ml in the death group, and it was signiflcantly higher than 49. 465 ± 26. 864 ng/ml in the survival gronp (P＜0. 01). When the pulsatility index was used to predict the death of patients, the ROC area under the curve was 0. 794 (P=0. 000,95% confidence interval [CI] O. 679-0. 908);when the cutoff value was 1. 110, the sensitivity was 68.4%, the specificity was 100%,positive predictive value was 100%, and negative predictive value was 72. 7%. When serum NSE level was used to predict the death of the patients, the ROC area under the curve was 0. 756 (P= 0. 000, 95% CI 0. 672-0. 885); when the cutoff value was 56. 502 ng/ml, the sensitivity was 80. 8%, the specificity was 65. 4%, positive predictive value was 82. 5%, and negative predictive value was 76. 6%. Conclusions The pulsatility index detected by TCD and serum NSE content can be used as predictors in patients achieved return of spontaneous circulation after CPR.
