RESUMO
The clinical data of a child with chemical pneumonia caused by kerosene in Hainan Maternal and Children′s Medical Center in June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.The patient was a 2 years and 1 month old boy with a history of kerosene inhalation and fever.The clinical features included low breath sounds in the left lung and dry and wet rales in both lungs.The white blood cells (WBC) level, C-reactive protein (CRP) level, and erythrocyte se-dimentation rate (ESR) were significantly increased.Chest CT showed inhalation pneumonia.Chest ultrasound suggested medium pleural effusion on the left side.The patient was given antibiotics, nebulization and other treatment.On the 12 th day of the course of the disease, his temperature returned to normal, and breath sounds on the left side were stronger than before.The WBC level, CRP level and ESR were improved according to the re-check results, but pulmonary ventilation was still obstructed mildly to moderately.Fourteen days after hospital discharge, the patient coughed less.Reexamination of chest CT prompted the lesions were further absorbed, but the mild to moderate obstructive lesions were still observed.With the reduction of kerosene use in daily life, kerosene-induced chemical pneumonia is rare, but due to its diverse and complex clinical manifestations and slow absorption of pulmonary inflammation, attention should be paid to its progression into chronic cough.
RESUMO
Objective@#To detect the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at locus 1 165 of β1-adrenoceptor (β1-AR) and to investigate the association between the SNP and the infection by enterovirus A71(EV-A71).@*Methods@#Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification technique was used to detect the SNP at locus 1 165 of β1-AR between hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) and healthy controls by sanger sequencing method .@*Results@#There was a G1165C SNP and three kinds of genotypes (GG, GC, CC) in β1-AR gene in the 77 cases of EV-A71 HFMD patients and 66 cases of healthy controls. For HFMD patients, frequencies of GG, GC and CC genotypes of the G1165C locus were 10%, 47% and 43%, respectively, and alleles frequency of G and C were 34% and 66%, respectively. But in healthy children, GG, GC, CC genotype frequencies were 7%, 41% and 52%, respectively, and G and C allele frequencies were 28% and 72% respectively. Chi-square analysis showed that there were no significant differences in distribution of genotypes (χ2=1.154, df=2, P=0.562) and alleles frequency (χ2=1.091, df=2, P=0.296) between the EV-A71-infected group and the healthy control group. Between mild and severe EV-A71-infected group, there were no significant differences in distribution of genotypes (χ2=3.945, df=2, P=0.139) and alleles frequency (χ2=3.763, df=2, P=0.052).@*Conclusions@#The 1 165 SNP in the coding region of β1-AR was not associated with EV-A71 infection and its severity.
RESUMO
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) has a high degree of nerve absorption and which is an important neurotoxic pathogen causing severe hand,foot and mouth disease and central nervous system(CNS) diseases.EV71 infection is at a high incidence in Asia Pacific region.The CNS damage caused by EV71 mainly includes aseptic meningitis,encephalitis,brain stem encephalitis,acute flaccid paralysis,etc,which has a high mortality and poor prognosis,while its injury mechanism is not clear.Now,EV71 related etiology,epidemiology,pathogenesis of CNS damage caused by EV71 infection and EV71 vaccine research progress were summarized,in order to provide theoretical basis for EV71 related studies.
