ABSTRACT
Objective@#To analyze the pathogenic spectrum of infectious diarrhea among children in Zhengzhou City in 2020, so as to provide insights into the management of childhood infectious diarrhea.@*Methods@#A total of 230 stool samples were collected from children with diarrhea in the Diarrhea Clinic of Zhengzhou Municipal Children's Hospital in 2020. Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Campylobacter and Aeromonas were isolated. Salmonella was typed using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis ( PFGE ) and antimicrobial resistance was tested in Salmonella. The main types and drug resistance of pathogens were descriptively analyzed.@*Results@#The 230 children with diarrhea included 152 males and 78 females, with a male to female ratio of 1.95∶1. There were 173 cases at ages of 3 years and below ( 75.22% ), and 82 cases seen between June and August ( 35.65% ). A total of 71 pathogenic bacteria strains were isolated, with a detection rate of 30.87%. Salmonella was the most frequently isolated pathogen ( 35 strains, 15.22% prevalence ), following by diarrheagenic E. coli ( 20 strains, 8.70% ). Eleven serotypes of Salmonella were identified, which mainly included S. enteritidis and S. typhimurium. PFGE typing revealed 25 band patterns of Salmonella, with a similarity ranging from 11.85% to 100%. Salmonella were sensitive to imipenem, meropenem, polymyxin B and amikacin and highly resistant to streptomycin ( 85.71% ), ampicillin ( 80.00% ) and sulfaisoxazole ( 80.00% ). A 82.86% proportion of multi-drug resistance was detected in the 29 Salmonella strains. @*Conclusions@# A wide range of pathogenic bacteria were detected from the childhood infectious diarrhea in Zhengzhou City in 2020, which mainly included Salmonella and diarrheagenic E. coli. A high polymorphism level was seen in PFGE fingerprints of Salmonella, which presented high-level resistance to antimicrobial agents.
ABSTRACT
The aim of this study is to explore the genotype and hearing phenotype of deaf infants with mutation of gene. Subjects were 121 infants with gene mutations who were treated in the Children's Hearing Diagnosis Center of Beijing Tongren hospital. All subjects were accepted to undertake the universal newborns hearing screening（UNHS） and series of objective audiometry, including auditory brainstem response, distortion product otoacoustic emission, auditory steady-state response and other audiological tests. All subjects were screened for nine pathogenic variants in four genes or all exons of the gene, and then were diagnosed as infants with gene mutations. Initially, analyzing their genotypes and hearing phenotypes generally. Then, the subjects were divided into two groups according to the genotypes: T/T group（truncated/truncated mutations, 89 cases） and T/NT group（truncated/non-truncated mutations, 32 cases）. Chi-square test was used to analyze the results of UNHS, hearing degree, audiogram patterns and symmetry/asymmetry of binaural hearing phenotype. Eventually, analyzing the results of UNHS. The most common truncated mutation was c.235delC（64.88%, 157/242） and the most common non-truncated mutation was c.109G>A（11.16%, 27/242）. The homozygous mutation of c.235delC/c.235delC was the dominant in T/T group（38.84%, 47/121）, and the compound heterozygous mutation of c.235delC/c.109G>A was the dominant in T/NT group（18.18%, 22/121）. 81.82%（99/121） of subjects failed in UNHS, including 74.38%（90/121） with bilateral reference, 7.44%（9/121） with a single pass. The refer rate of UNHS of group T/T and T/NT were 86.52%（77/89） and 68.75%, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups（0.05）. In this study, c.235delC/c.235delC homozygous mutation was dominant in T/T group and c.235delC/c.109G>A heterozygous mutation was dominant in T/NT Group. The hearing phenotypes in T/T group were mostly bilateral asymmetric severe hearing loss, and those in T/NT Group were bilateral symmetric mild to moderate hearing loss, special attention should be paid to the audiological characteristics of different genotypes.

The homozygous mutation of c.235delC/c.235delC was the dominant in T/T group（38.84%, 47/121）, and the compound heterozygous mutation of c.235delC/c.109G>A was the dominant in T/NT group（18.18%, 22/121）. 81.82%（99/121） of subjects failed in UNHS, including 74.38%（90/121） with bilateral reference, 7.44%（9/121） with a single pass. The refer rate of UNHS of group T/T and T/NT were 86.52%（77/89） and 68.75%, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups（P<0.05）. 85.95%（104/121） of subjects were diagnosed as hearing loss and 14.05%（17/121） of subjects were diagnosed as normal hearing. The degree of hearing loss: profound, severe, moderate and mild were 31.40%（38/121）, 19.01%（23/121）, 24.79%（30/121） and 10.74%（13/121）, respectively. There was no subjects with normal hearing in T/T group and individuals with severe and profound hearing loss accounted for the highest proportion（65.17%, 58/89）, while in T/NT group, normal hearing accounted for 53.13%（17/32） and mild and moderate hearing loss accounted for the highest proportion（37.5%, 12/32）. There was statistically significant difference between the two groups（P<0.05）. Of 104 patients（208 ears） with hearing loss, the audiogram patterns: flat, descending, ascending, residual, Valley and other types were 49.03%（102/208）, 12.02%（25/208）, 8.65%（18/208）, 7.69%（16/204）, 3.36%（7/204） and 19.23%（40/204）, respectively. The two most common types in T/T group were flat（47.19%, 84/178） and other types（20.22%, 36/178）, while in T/NT group were flat（60.00%, 18/30） and ascending（20.00%, 6/30）. There was statistically significant difference between the two groups（P<0.05）. There were 50 cases（48.07%） with symmetrical hearing phenotype and 54 cases（51.93%） with asymmetrical hearing phenotype. Asymmetry was predominant in T/T group（53.93%, 48/89）, and symmetry was predominant in T/NT group（60.00%, 9/15）. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups（P>0.05）. @*Conclusion@#In this study, c.235delC/c.235delC homozygous mutation was dominant in T/T group and c.235delC/c.109G>A heterozygous mutation was dominant in T/NT Group.
