RESUMO
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder, and its prevalence has been increasing during the recent years, which has posed a great impact on the families of the patients and society. Epidemiological studies have found that environmental exposure factors have an important impact on the occurrence and development of ASD, including pesticides, heavy metals, poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances, phenols, and air pollution. This paper focused on the relationship between environmental exposure to the above mentioned typical environmental exposure factors and the occurrence of ASD, in order to provide reference for related research of ASD.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of cytokine levels and routine cytology in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in children with severe Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (SMPP).Methods:A total of 207 children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia who underwent parallel bronchoalveolar lavage in the Department of Respiratory, Shanghai Children′s Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University from July 2018 to February 2019 were enrolled in this study.There were 121 patients in the SMPP group and 86 patients in the non-SMPP group.Flow cytometry was used to determine the level of cytokines in BALF.Meanwhile, the cells in BALF were stained and cytokines levels and routine cytology were compared between the 2 groups.Receive operating characteristic(ROC) curves were used to analyze the predictive value of cytokine levels and routine cytology for SMPP.Results:The levels of interleukin(IL)-8, IL-1βand IL-6 and white blood cell count in BALF of SMPP group were significantly higher than those of non-SMPP group [1 717.77 (784.31, 3 304.03) ng/L vs.1 013.03 (469.27, 2 040.52) ng/L, 373.18 (70.08, 941.56) ng/L vs.107.50 (0.10, 489.88) ng/L, 200.74 (41.09, 570.61) ng/L vs.95.47 (0.10, 337.68) ng/L, 1 890.00 (955.00, 3 600.00)×10 6/L vs.1 430.00 (467.50, 2 724.00)×10 6/L]( Z=3.27, 3.45, 2.47, 2.57, all P<0.05). The percentage of macrophages in the non-SMPP group was significantly higher than that in the SMPP group [0.04 (0, 0.12) vs. 0 (0, 0.06)] ( Z=-2.67, P=0.01). The optimal critical value and the area under curve (AUC) of IL-8 were 722.69 ng/L and 0.63 (95% CI: 0.56-0.71, P<0.01), respectively. The optimal critical value and AUC of IL-1β were 166.33 ng/L and 0.64, respectively (95% CI: 0.56-0.72, P<0.01). The optimal critical value and AUC of IL-6 were 142.95 ng/L and 0.60, respectively (95% CI: 0.52-0.68, P<0.05). The optimal critical value and AUC of the total white blood cells were 970×10 6/L and 0.61, respectively (95% CI: 0.53-0.69, P<0.05). The optimal critical value and AUC of the percentage of macrophages were 0.19 and 0.60, respectively (95% CI: 0.32-0.48, P<0.05). Conclusions:Children with SMPP have higher levels of cytokines IL-8, IL-1β and IL-6, a higher white blood cell count, and a lower percentage of macrophages in BALF than children with no SMPP. However, cytokine levels and cytology are inadequate to predict SMPP since they are not effective in the clinical diagnosis of SMPP.
RESUMO
Objective To observe the effect of Yun-Pi Prescription in different dose on small intestinal function of splenic asthenia rats, so as to explore mechanisms of Yun-pi Prescription in treatment of children apositia. Methods Experimental rats were randomly divided in to six groups:the control group, the model group, the positive control group (Xiao shi Jian er Syrup group), Yun-Pi Prescription in high, middle and low dose group. Measure the changes of body weight and food intake, observe excretory rate of D-xylose of rats. Results Yun-Pi Prescription could increase body weight and food intake, improve excretory rate of D-xylose in splenic asthenia rats. Conclusion Yun-Pi Prescription could improve the small intestinal absorptive function of splenic asthenia rats with dose-effect relationship.
