RESUMO
The evolution of SARS-CoV2 virus has led to the emergence of variants of concern (VOC). Children, particularly <12 years old not yet eligible for vaccines, continue to be important reservoirs of SARS-CoV-2 yet VOC prevalence data in this population is lacking. We report data from a genomic surveillance program that includes 9 U.S. childrens hospitals. Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 genomes from 2119 patients <19 years old between 03/20 to 04/21 identified 252 VOCs and 560 VOC signature mutations, most from 10/20 onwards. From 02/21 to 04/21, B.1.1.7 prevalence increased from 3.85% to 72.22% corresponding with the decline of B.1.429/B.1.427 from 51.82% to 16.67% at one institution. 71.74% of the VOC signature mutations detected were in children <12 years old, including 33 cases of B.1.1.7 and 119 of B.1.429/B.1.427. There continues to be a need for ongoing genomic surveillance, particularly among young children who will be the last groups to be vaccinated.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the related factors with skin flap necrosis,we concluded the cases of patients with skin defects after free flap plantation.Methods From 2001 to 2016,188 cases about 20 influencing factors were analyzed (The characteristics of patients:age,sex,smoke,diabetes,high blood pressure;Preoperative factors:injured sections,injured causes,preoperative wound infection,preoperative wound osteomyelitis,the time from injury to operation;Intraoperative factors:operator,operation time,anesthesia time,intraoperative rehydration fluids,the way of vascular anastomosis,the number of venous anastomosis,the area of flap;Postoperative factors:flap hematoma,flap infection,vascular crisis) and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between these risk factors and flap necrosis.Results All 188 cases were treated with free anterolateral thigh flap to repair soft tissue defect and it was revealed that the 174 cases were successful (92.55％) and 23 cases were occured vascular crisis (12.23％),8 cases were arterial crisis,11 cases were vein crisis,4 cases were ateriovenous crisis.After the treatment,the rescue was successful in 5 cases (38.46％).After the analysis we made the conclusion that the number of venous anastomoses,flap hematoma and vascular crisis were related with the skin flap necrosis.Conclusion The number of venous anastomose (≥2) will increase blood return to make the flap easier to survive.Intraoperative stanching and drainage tube placement work will reduce the skin flap hematoma as a result of reducing the skin flap necrosis.Artery and venous crisis handled in time,can enhance the survival rate of flap.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the effects of different depths of anesthesia with sevoflurane on cerebrovascular autoregulation in infants.Methods Twenty pediatric patients,of ASA physical status Ⅰ,aged 1-3 yr,undergoing elective hypospadias plasty surgery,were enrolled in the study.Single tube laryngeal mask was inserted after anesthesia was induced with 6％ sevoflurane inhalation.Caudal block was performed with 1 ml/kg of 0.2％ ropivacaine.Anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane inhalation.The end-tidal sevoflurane concentration was adjusted to 1.8％,2.5％,3.3％ and 4.0％,and each concentration was maintained at this level for 15 min.The cerebral blood flow was collected from the middle cerebral artery immediately before adjusting the next concentration to record the Doppler spectrum and transient hyperemic response ratio (THRR) was measured.Results THRR at different depths of anesthesia with sevoflurane was larger than 1.09,and was within the normal range.THRR was significantly lower when the end-tidal concentration was 2.5％,3.3％ and 4.0％ than that obtained when end-tidal concentration was 1.8％.No significantdifference was detected in THRR between 2.5％ and 3.3 ％.THRR was significantly lower when the end-tidal concentration was 4.0 ％ than that obtained when the end-tidal concentration was 2.5％ and 3.3％.Conclusion Although the inhibitory effect on cerebrovascular autoregulation provided by sevoflurane anesthesia provides no obvious clinical significance,it shows statistical significance in infants.
