Objective To discuss the consequences of CT image quality in two different contrast enhancement ways of high pressure syringe. Methods 100 cases by using high-pressure syringes of Lightspeed 16-raw spiral CT and Stellant D-type high-pressure syringe of Medrad, the dose of constrast medium was 4.0 ml/s and the total dose was 80 ml, which was divided into A and B group enhancement scanning. The canalis singularis high pressure syringe was used in 50 cases of A group that no isotonic Na chloride flush, in contrast to 50 samples of B group that were underwent the double isotonic Na chloride flush. The method of evaluation is double-blind observation. Results The number of positive is 40 samples which has radioactive constructed defect in A group. The masculine proportion is 80%. The number of the negative is 10 samples. The proportion is 20%. Correspondingly, the number of radioactive constructed defect in the B group is 24 samples(48%), and the negative number is 26 samples(52%, P

Objective:
To understand the pathogenic composition of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (Ningxia) from 2016 to 2017, and analyze the genetic characteristics of the main pathogens enterovirus (EV)-A71 and coxsackievirus (CV)-A16.
Methods:
Analysis of the result of nucleic acid testing of HFMD in Ningxia from 2016 to 2017 to determine the pathogenic composition of HFMD. The complete VP1 coding region was amplified by RT-PCR and the gene sequence was determined for the enterovirus strains sent to the National HFMD Network Monitoring Laboratory in Ningxia from 2016 to 2017. BLAST analysis confirmed the serotype of the strain, and the phylogenetic tree was constructed respectively by selecting EV-A71 and CV-A16 isolates.
Results:
The leading pathogens of HFMD in Ningxia of 2016 and 2017 were other EV (397, 43.72%) and EV-A71 (918, 56.18%) respectively, and the dominant pathogens in different months may differ. The pathogenic composition causing HFMD in the past two years has changed from CV-A16 and other EV to EV-A71 and other EV. The isolated EV-A71 strains were C4a evolutionary branch and the isolated CV-A16 strains were B1b evolutionary branch.
Conclusions
Compared to 2016, in 2017 EV-A71, CV-A16 and other EV changed dynamically. Dynamic monitoring of EV-A71 in Ningxia is of great significance to guide the strategy of using EV-A71 vaccine, concentrating medical resources to strengthen the treatment and reduce the mortality rate of severe HFMD cases.
