Objective To investigate the incidence and risk factors of severe cases of Cox A6 infected with HAND-foot-mouth disease in 1-12 years old children in Enshi city, and to provide reference for prevention and treatment of hand-foot-mouth disease. Methods From January to September 2021, hospitalized children aged 1-12 years with HFMD in Enshi city were collected. The samples of anal swabs and throat swabs were tested for Coxsackie virus A6 (Cox A6) nucleic acid, and the distribution of Cox A6 patients infected with HFMD and the proportion of severe cases in children aged 1-12 years were analyzed. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of severe cases. Results From January to September 2021, a total of 343 HFMD cases aged 1 to 12 years were reported in Enshi, among which 241 cases (70.26%) were infected with CoxA6. No death cases were reported during the period. The 241 cases of Cox A6 infected with HFMD were distributed from January to September. 129 males (53.53%) and 112 females (46.47%); 208 cases (44.40%) were mainly from 1 to 3 years old, followed by 66 cases (28.39%) from 4 to 6 years old, 45 cases (18.67%) from 7 to 9 years old, and 23 cases (9.54%) from 10 to 12 years old. Cox A6 was mainly infected with HFMD in 145 cases (60.17%) in rural areas and 96 cases (39.83%) in urban areas. 10 cases (4.15%) of Cox A6 infected HFMD were severe cases; There were significant differences in age, fever temperature, fasting blood glucose and fever time between the severe case group and the normal case group (P<0.05). Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that fever temperature (OR=1.559, P<0.05), fasting blood glucose (OR=2.472, P<0.05) and fever time (OR=2.932, P<0.05) were independent risk factors for the occurrence of severe cases of Cox A6 infected with HFMWD in Enshi. Conclusion The incidence of Cox A6 infected with HFMD in Enshi is mainly concentrated in boys under 3 years old. Clinical treatment of HFMD children should focus on children with high fever temperature, fasting blood glucose and long fever time.

Background and purpose:Tumor suppressor gene P53 has long been studied in tumors, including breast cancer. More studies focused on the relationship between P53 and prognosis of breast cancer and found that P53 overexpression suggested a bad prognosis. However, the effect of P53 on early stage postmenopausal patients with ER-positive breast cancer has not been clariifed yet. This study was to investigate the role of P53 plays in aromatase inhibitor (AI) resistance among early stage postmenopausal patients with ER-positive breast cancer patients. Methods:A total number of 293 operable breast cancer patients who received surgical treatment during Jul. 2000 to Jul. 2006 in Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center were enrolled into this study. All patients received AI treatment. The SPSS 12.0 software was used to estimate the survival rate. Univariate and multivariate analysis were also performed via above software. Results:The median follow-up time is 72 months (6-140 months). The 5 year disease free survival (DFS) of P53 positive and negative were 78%and 89%. The results showed that P53 overexpression (HR=1.729, 95%CI:1.038-2.880, P=0.035), pathological stage (HR=2.270, 95%CI:1.399-3.681, P=0.001);histological grade (HR=2.328, 95%CI:1.312-4.133, P=0.004); age (HR=1.988, 95%CI:1.511-2.617, P<0.005) were still the independent risk factors of recurrence and metastasis in breast cancer patients treated with AI. Conclusion:P53 overexpression correlated strongly with AI resistance in early stage postmenopausal patients with ER-positive breast cancer patients who were treated with AI and conifrmed the relevance of previously described prognostic factors. It is reasonable to take P53 expression into account when we evaluate the risk of breast cancer patients and decide the anti-cancer treatment strategy.
