目的 分析人类疱疹病毒(EBV)致传染性单核细胞增多症(IM)患儿病毒量与临床特征的关系。方法 选取我院2016年1月—2021年1月收治的EBV定量阳性的IM患儿128例,按照患儿EBV含量分为低病毒量组(n=64)和高病毒量组(n=64)。比较不同病毒含量组患儿的症状体征、实验室检查及临床特征,并分析具有统计学差异的指标与病毒量之间的相关性。结果 高EBV含量组患儿丙氨酸氨基转移酶、乳酸脱氢酶、血沉、外周血白细胞计数指标水平均高于低EBV含量组(P<0.05)。患儿的退热时间、淋巴结缩小时间、肝脾肿大消退时间及住院时间均随着EBV含量的增加而延长(P<0.05)。EBV含量与退热时间、淋巴结缩小时间、肝脾肿大消退时间及住院时间成正相关(r=0.453,0.458,0.402,0.415,P<0.05)。结论 EBV含量越高,IM患儿住院时间及临床指标恢复时间越长,因此临床治疗IM患儿时可以根据EBV含量的高低进行病情评估。

Objective To analyze the relationship between viral load and clinical characteristics in children with infectious mononucleosis (IM) caused by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Methods A total of 128 children with IM who tested positive for EBV and admitted to our hospital from January 2016 to January 2021 were selected and divided into low virus group (n=64) and high virus group (n=64) according to their EBV level. The symptoms and signs, laboratory examinations and clinical characteristics of two groups were compared, and the correlation between the statistically different indicators and the amount of virus were analyzed. Results In children with high EBV level, the levels of alanine aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and peripheral blood white blood cell count were higher than low EBV level group (P<0.05). The time of fever, lymph node shrinkage, hepatosplenomegaly to subside, and hospitalization time of the children were all prolonged with the increase of EBV level (P<0.05). The level of EBV was positively correlated with the time to allay fever, the time to shrink the lymph nodes, the time to improve hepatosplenomegaly, and the length of hospital stay (r=0.453, 0.458, 0.402, 0.415,P<0.05). Conclusions The higher EBV level, the longer hospitalization time and recovery time of clinical indicators in children with IM. Therefore, the disease assessment of children with IM can be based on EBV level.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of Mycoplasma pneumoniae-simultaneous amplification and testing (MP-SAT)as a monitoring index for children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP). Methods 178 hospitalized children with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP)in our hospital from October 2017 to October 2018 were selected and divided into two groups, namely MPP group (n=80)and non-MPP group (n=98). Serum MP antibody (MP-Ab)and throat swab MP-RNA were detected separately. The MP-Ab test was used as a reference for the analysis of accuracy of MP-SAT for MPP diagnosis. The MPP patients with positive MP-SAT and positive MP-Ab were observed dynamically. The detection rates of MP-SAT and MP-Ab in different treatment time points were compared. The correlation of MP-SAT negative time with clinical recovery time, clinical symptoms, laboratory parameters and chest X-ray was analyzed. Results The ratio of inconsistent MP-SAT and MP-Ab results was 60.00% (48/80)and 19.39% (19/98)in the MPP group and the non-MPP group, respectively. The MP-SAT and MP-Ab were statistically different in terms of specificity and positive predictive value (P<0.05), while no difference was found in the sensitivity and negative predictive value (P>0.05). Both MP-SAT and MP-Ab were positive in 28 cases (35.00%). The positive rate of MP-SAT was decreased with the prolongation of treatment time (P<0.05), meanwhile the positive rate of MP-Ab was increased with the treatment time (P<0.05); the clinical recovery time of 28 cases was (3.11±0.88)weeks, and the MP-SAT negative time was (3.25±0.74)weeks, with no statistical difference (P>0.05). The long-term duration of MP-SAT was characterized by long duration of fever, high consolidation rate of X-ray chest radiograph, high CRP level, high LDH level, high percentage of neutrophils, and low percentage of lymphocytes (P<0.05). Conclusion MP-SAT, as a new generation of RNA live bacteria detection technology, has high value in monitoring the efficacy of Mycoplasma pneumonia in children, and it is worth promoting.

目的 探讨健康儿童的个体因素对超声测量下腔静脉内径的影响。方法 使用超声测量210例健康儿童的下腔静脉呼气末内径及腹主动脉内径,并记录他们的个体特征,包括性别、年龄、身高、体质量、腰围、体表面积等,进行相关与回归分析。结果 年龄、身高、体质量、腰围、体表面积与下腔静脉和腹主动脉内径呈正相关。年龄是女性儿童下腔静脉内径唯一的独立影响因素,身高是男性儿童下腔静脉内径唯一的独立影响因素。无论男性或女性,年龄是儿童腹主动脉内径的独立影响因素,而下腔静脉和腹主动脉内径的比值不受这些个体因素的影响。结论 下腔静脉和腹主动脉内径易受个体因素影响,而它们的比值不易受个体因素影响,可以更好的用于预测儿童的容量特征。

Objective To explore the impact of individual characteristics on inferior vena cava diameter ( IVC ) in healthy children. Methods IVC_max and abdominal aorta (AO) diameters were measured by ultrasound in 210 healthy children. The individual characteristics including gender, age,height,weight, waist circumference of each child were recorded. Then the surface area(BSA) and IVC_max/AO were calculated to discuss the relationship between them with multivariate analysis. Results Age, height, weight,waist circumference, and BSA were positively correlated with IVC_max and AO. Multivariate linear regression showed that age was the only independent variable for IVC_max in female children, height was the only independent variable for IVC_max in male children, and age was the only independent variable for AO in both females and males. IVC_max/AO was not significantly influenced by the subjects' characteristics. Conclusion IVC_max and AO were more susceptible to subjects' characteristics than IVC_max/AO. IVC_max/AO could be a reliable and practical parameter in children as it was independent of age, height, and weight.

Objective Through blood analysis and C-reactive protein (CRP) level detection, to explore its value in the auxiliary diagnosis of influenza A and B in children, and to provide reference for clinical treatment. Methods 3 069 children with influenza A, 2 307 children with influenza B, and 855 healthy children were selected, and blood routine parameters and CRP levels were statistically analyzed. The ROC curve was used to analyze the discriminatory efficacy of blood routine on influenza A and B. Results The mean value of white blood cell count (WBC) in group A was higher than that in normal group, but in group B it had the opposite result. The percentage of neutrophils (Neut%), the ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes (NLR), and the percentage of monocytes (the mean value of Mono%) is higher than that of normal group, and the mean value of lymphocyte percentage (Lymph%) and platelet count (PLT) of group A and B is lower than that of normal group. The mean values of neutrophil count (Neut#), monocyte count (Mono#), CRP and PLT in group A were higher than those in group B, and the mean values of Lymph% and lymphocyte count (Lymph#) were lower than those in group B. The composition ratios of group A in WBC>13×10⁹/L, Neut%>70.7, Lymph%<19.1 were higher than that in group B. The NLR predicted the critical value of influenza A was 2.08 (sensitivity 75.9%, specificity 89.4%), and the predicted influenza B threshold value was 2.11 (sensitivity 50.5%, specificity 89.8%). Conclusion Changes in blood routine parameters and CRP levels can be used to determine whether there is a bacterial infection in children with influenza and to guide clinical medication; NLR as a new predictive marker, its changes can distinguish influenza A or B. Especially in influenza A determination, it has clinical value.
