Objective To explore the changes of
serum nitric oxide(NO) and
trace element Zinc in
children with
pneumonia and their
clinical significance.
Methods The observing group contained 48
patients with
pneumonia in our
hospital from Oct.2005 to May 2006,
who were collected 3 mL of
blood sample on empty
stomach on the second day.Twenty-six of them had been collected
serum during their
convalescence stage.The
control group contained 20
children,
who were healthy in the same stage.The levels of NO of 48
pneumonia,26
convalescence stage(recovery group) and 20 healthy
patients were determined by UV-2100 spectrophotometer.The
Zinc in
serum was determined by P-E503-mode
atomic absorption spectrophotometric
analysis antigenic in those
patients.
Blood viscosity was measured and analyzed with the
statistic analysis SPSS 10.0
software.Results The levels of NO in
pneumonia children[(57.76?19.41) ?mol/L] were significantly higher than that in
control group [(25.09?5.51) ?mol/L] and recovery group[(30.08?8.05) ?mol/L](P_a
