Objective To investigate the association between SLC10A1 gene mutations in c.800G>A mutation and c.356 +1098C >T mutation, and the susceptibility to HBV infection by mother-to-child transmission ( MTCT) .Methods Totally 306 individuals born to HBeAg-positive mothers with high load HBV and without receiving nucleotide analogues treatment, including 247 HBV-infected cases and 59 non-HBV-infected ones were enrolled from Southwest Hospital during May 2011 and July 2015.Blood samples were collected from all the subjects, then genomic DNA was extracted and c.800G>A mutation and c.356+1098C>T mutation of SLC10A1 were genotyped .Chi-square test (Pearsonχ2or continuity correctionχ2) was performed to identify the difference in genotypes between two groups.Results Among vaccinated individuals (55 HBV infected and 56 not infected), the frequency of genotype GA of c.800G>A mutation in non-infected ones was 14.3%(8/56), there was a tendency of increasing compared with HBV infected ones (5.5%, 3/55), but the difference was not statistically significant (χ2 =2.424, P =0.119). Similarly, the frequencies of genotypes CC, CT and TT of the c.356+1098C>T mutation in HBV infected ones were 20.0%(11/55), 47.3%(26/55) and 32.7%(18/55), while those in non-infected ones were 12.5% (7/56), 69.6% (39/56) and 17.9% (10/56), and the difference was not of statistical significance (χ2 =5.766, P=0.056).In all subjects (vaccinated and non-vaccinated), the frequency of genotype GA of c.800G>A mutation in non-HBV infected group had an increasing tendency compared with HBV-infected offspring (13.6% vs.6.9%), but the difference was not statistically significant (χ2 =2.010, P=0.156);the frequencies of genotype CC, CT and TT of c.356+1098C>T mutation in HBV infected patients were 20.2%(50/247), 49.8%(123/247) and 30.0%(74/247), while those in non-HBV-infected group were 11.9%(7/59), 69.5%(41/59) and 18.6%(11/59), and the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =7.436, P =0.024 ) .Within the HBV infected group, the frequencies of genotype GA of c.800G>A mutation were 5.5%(3/55) in vaccinated individuals and 7.3%(14/192) in non-vaccinated individuals, and the difference was not of statistical significance (χ2 =0.030, P=0.863);Similarly, the frequencies of genotype CC, CT and TT of c.356 +1098C >T mutation in vaccinated individuals were 20.0%(11/55), 47.3%(26/55) and 32.7%(18/55), while those in non-vaccinated individuals were 20.3%(39/192), 50.5%(97/192) and 29.2%(56/192), and the difference was not of statistical significance (χ2 =0.274, P=0.872).Conclusion c.356+1098C>T mutation in SLC10A1 may be associated with susceptibility to HBV infection of child born in HBeAg positive pregnant women infected with high load HBV.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the found ways and first diagnosis age of children with large vestibular aqueduct, and their relations with hearing loss. METHOD: Medical histories of 122 cases of children diagnosed with large vestibular aqueduct by HRCT or MRI had been collected from January 2009 to April 2014 in our hospital children's hearing diagnosis center clinic. Found ways comprise of accepting universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) group and unaccepting UNHS group. Accepting UNHS children were divided into two ears unpassing group, single ear unpassing group and passing group. The patients in unaccepting UNHS group were divided into not sensitive to sounds, speech stunting, sudden hearing loss, and other group. Analysis the relationship between the found ways and first diagnosis age and their relations with hearing loss. RESULT: There are 84 cases (68.85%) accepting UNHS, the average age of first diagnosis was (17.24 ± 17.08) months; 37 cases (31.15%) are not accepting UNHS. The average age of first diagnosis was (30.92 ± 18.21) months. The average first diagnosis age of accepting UNHS group was more earlier than the unaccepting UNHS group. The difference was statistically signif- icant (P < 0.01). There were 57 cases (67.85%) whose two ears not pass UNHS; 15 cases (17.86%) single ear not pass; namely the referral rate was 85.71%; 12 cases (14.29%) pass the test. The first diagnosis age of passing UNHS group was more later than two ears unpassing group (P < 0.001). In the unaccepting UNHS group, the average first diagnosis age of not sensitive to sounds group (19.69 ± 11.16 months) was more earlier than words dysplasia group (37.13 ± 15.62 months) and sudden hearing loss group (47.40 ± 24.70 months) (P < 0.01). The difference in the degree of hearing loss between accepting UNHS and unaccepting UNHS group had no statistical significance (P > 0.05). In unaccepting UNHS group ,the average first diagnosis age of the mild-to-moderate hearing loss group was later than the very severe hearing loss group (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Most of large vestibular aqueduct children can be found and receive diagnosis early by UNHS. But part of these patients with late-onset or progressive hearing loss, especially these with mild-to-moderate hearing loss cannot be found early, which should arouse our attention.

Objective:To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine on stress response and postoperative recovery in children undergoing laparoscopic surgery.Methods:A total of 200 pediatric patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery who received treatment in Jinhua Maternal and Child Health Hospital from May 2021 to December 2022 were included in this prospective randomized controlled study. These patients were randomly divided into Group A and Group B. Group A ( n = 100) received an intravenous infusion of physiological saline before anesthesia induction, while Group B ( n = 100) received an intravenous infusion of 0.5 μg/kg dexmedetomidine, and the other anesthesia methods were the same as the Group A. Vital signs (mean arterial pressure, heart rate), stress reactions (norepinephrine, cortisol, blood glucose), postoperative recovery status (eye-opening time, time to orientation, extubation time), the occurrence of restlessness (restlessness score, duration of restlessness), and adverse reactions (nausea, vomiting, tachycardia, laryngeal spasm, respiratory depression) were compared between different time points [before infusion (T0), 10 minutes after infusion (T1), postoperative wakefulness (T2), and 5 minutes after extubation (T3)]. Results:At T1, T2, T3, the mean arterial pressure and heart rate in Group B [(81.53 ± 7.45) mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa), (78.32 ± 8.23) mmHg, (85.73 ± 7.28) mmHg, (109.43 ± 7.78) beats/minute, (106.22 ± 7.25) beats/minute, and (112.34 ± 6.74) beats/minute] were significantly higher than those in Group A [(76.39 ± 7.21) mmHg, (73.54 ± 7.41) mmHg, (80.34 ± 6.81) mmHg, (102.58 ± 7.34) beats/minute, (99.14 ± 6.90) beats/minute, (107.76 ± 6.38) beats/minute, t = 4.95, 4.31, 5.40, 6.40, 7.07, 4.93, all P < 0.001]. At 1 day after surgery, the levels of norepinephrine, cortisol, and blood glucose in Group B [(352.73 ± 60.32) ng/L, (310.85 ± 67.61) nmol/L, (4.89 ± 0.97) mmol/L ] were significantly lower than those in Group A [(427.82 ± 72.95) ng/L, (375.33 ± 74.97) nmol/L, (5.53 ± 1.10) mmol/L, t = 7.93, 6.38, 4.36, P < 0.001]. The time to eye-opening, time to orientation, and time to extubation in Group B were (10.06 ± 1.93) minutes, (10.54 ± 2.10) minutes, and (11.92 ± 2.06) minutes, respectively, which were significantly shorter than (11.88 ± 2.14) minutes, (12.43 ± 2.65) minutes, and (14.46 ± 2.43) minutes ( t = 6.31, 5.59, 7.97, all P < 0.001). The pediatric anesthesia emergence delirium score in Group B was (8.19 ± 2.10) points, which was significantly lower than (11.56 ± 2.62) points in Group A ( t = 10.03, P < 0.001). The duration of restlessness in Group A was (7.41 ± 1.27) minutes, which was significantly shorter than (9.33 ± 1.65) minutes in Group B ( t = 9.22, P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between Group A and Group B [8.00% (8/100) vs. 6.00% (6/100), χ2 = 0.30, P > 0.05]. Conclusion:Dexmedetomidine has a good application effect in pediatric laparoscopic surgery. It can stabilize the vital signs of children, reduce stress reactions, facilitate postoperative recovery, and reduce restlessness and adverse reactions.

Objective To study the characteristics of etiology of lobar pneumonia in hospitalized children.Methods Medical history and sputum specimens were collected from 1 179 hospitalized children with lobar pneumonia from January 2006 to December 2015.Multiple pathogenic joint detection combined with the history data were used for analysis.Seven kinds of common respiratory virus were detected by direct immunofluorescence.Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP), Chlamydia pneumoniae (CP) and human Bocavirus (hBoV) were detected by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR).Human Rhinovirus (HRV) and human Metapneumovirus (hMPV) were detected by reverse transcription PCR.Aspirates were cultured for bacteria.MP specific antibody IgG and IgM were tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Positive rates of each group were compared by χ2 test or Fisher exact test.Results Total etiology detection rate of lobar pneumonia in hospitalized children was 83.9% (989/1 179).The etiology detection rate of MP, virus, bacteria and streptococcus pneumoniae (SP) were 74.0%, 14.2%, 18.3% and 12.2%, respectively.The virus detection rate in 1-3 years old group was the highest, and that in ≥6 years old group was lower than other group (χ2=70.095, P<0.01).The MP detection rate increased with age (χ2=119.777, P<0.01).The bacteria detection rate in ≥6 years old group was significantly lower than those of <1 years old group, 1-3 years old group and 3-6 years old group (χ2=8.939, 14.319, 45.738, all P<0.01).The detection rates of total virus, MP, bacteria and mixed infection had no statistical difference in the four seasons (all P>0.05).The MP detection rate was above 70% in every season.The detection rates of SP and hBoV were basically the same in every season.The detection rate of HI was higher in spring, Pinf 3 and SA were higher in summer, HRV was higher in autumn, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and moraxella catarrhalis (MC) were higher in winter.Conclusions Lobar pneumonia occurs more common in elder children.MP is the major pathogen of lobar pneumonia, and SP is the second.The MP detection rate increases with age.The pathogen detection rate varies with age, but the effect of seasonal factor is not obvious on pathogen detection in lobar pneumonia.

Objective To analyze the correlation between response to hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine and cellular immunity and clinical characteristics in children with respiratory infection.Methods Nine hundred and sixty children in Department of Respiratory in Children's Hospital of of Soochow University,who were over 7 months old and had full course of HBV vaccination between January and December 2015 were enrolled in this study.Peripheral blood (1-2 mL) was collected,and antigen-antibody of HBV was detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and PCR included HBV surface antigen,hepatitis B antibody,HBV e antigen,HBV e antibody,HBV core antibody,and HBV nucleic acid.According to the results,these children were divided into 4 groups:non response group,low response group,normal response group and high response group according to their responses to HBV vaccine.Cellular immunity was detected by using flow cytometry and patients' clinical data was collected.Results There was no statistical differences of CD3 + CD4 +,which were (3.43 ± 0.28) ％,(3.42 ± 0.30) ％,(3.43 ± 0.36) ％ and (3.52 ± 0.29) ％,among the four groups (F =0.520,P =0.669).CD3 + CD8 + in non response group was (3.18 ±0.28)％,which was significantly higher than that in low response group,normal response group and high response group [(3.08 ± 0.36)％,(3.05 ±0.34)％,(2.93 ±0.30)％],the differences were significant (all P＜0.05);CD4/CD8 in non response group (0.26 ± 0.43) were significantly lower than that in normal response group (0.40 ± 0.50),the differences were significant (P =0.001).There was no significant difference of CD3 +,CD3 + CD8 + and CD4/CD8 among low response group,normal response group and high response group (all P ＞ 0.05).CD3-CD19 + and CD19 + CD23 + level were lowest in non response group [(3.00 ± 0.57) ％,(2.25 ± 0.67) ％] and highest in high response group [(3.33 ± 0.45) ％,(2.57 ± 0.38) ％],the differences were significant (all P ＜ 0.05).Among the 4 groups,children in normal response group had the shortest average hospitalization days [(1.88 ±-0.31) d],which was significantly shorter than that in non response group,low response group and high response group [(1.96 ± 0.39) d,(1.95 ± 0.38) d,(1.96 ±0.15) d],the differences were significant (all P ＜0.05),there was no significantly difference of average hospitalization days among other 3 groups (all P ＞ 0.05).Proportion of severe pneumonia was significantly higher in non response group [6.1％ (22/363cases)] and high response group [13.3％ (2/15 cases)] compared to those in normal response group [2.6％ (7/274cases)],the differences were statistically significant (x2 =4.417,P =0.036;x2 =5.476,P =0.019).The total white blood cell number was lowest in non response group (F =4.695,P =0.003).Platelet number was increased with higher degree of response to HBV (F =6.598,P ＜ 0.001).Conclusions Cellular immunity is lower in respiratory infection children with non response or low response to HBV vaccine.After they have respiratory infection,children with non response to HBV vaccine may have a longer course of disease and worse condition.

Objective To explore the non-bacteria pathogens of acute laryngitis in children. Methods The clinical data and sputum sample were collected from 325 patients hospitalized due to acute laryngitis in consecutive 10 years from January 2006 to December 2015 . The multiple non-bacteria pathogens were detected and analyzed with clinical data. Seven types of respiratory viruses were detected by direct immunolfuorescence. Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP), Chlamydia pneumoniae (CP), and Boca virus (HBoV) were detected by lfuorescence quantitative PCR. The rhinovirus (HRV) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV) were detected by RT-PCR. Venous blood was collected within 24 h after hospitalization and 7-10 d after treatment. The MP antibody of IgG and IgM were detected by ELISA. Results The detection rate of non-bacteria pathogens was 46 . 2%in 325 children with acute laryngitis ( 150/325 ), including 76 cases ( 23 . 4%) of virus and 99 cases ( 30 . 5%) of MP. Virus detection rate in 1-3 year old children was obviously higher than in 0-1 year old children and over 3 years old children (χ2?=?9 . 527 , P=?0 . 009 ). With the increase of age, the detection rate of MP increased gradually (χ2?=?10 . 132 , P=?0 . 006 ). The detection rates of RSV and hBoV were higher in under 3-year-old children. The detection rates of virus in winter and spring were signiifcantly higher than those in summer and autumn (χ2?=?5.064, P=?0.024). The detection rates of MP in winter, spring, summer, and autumn was 13.1%, 25 . 0%, 38 . 2%, and 44 . 9%respectively, and the MP detection rates were increased gradually over seasons (χ2?=?4 . 438 , P=?0 . 035 ). The detection rate of RSV was higher in winter, and hBoV was higher in summer. Conclusion Acute laryngitis mainly occurred in children under 3-years-old children, and the detected non-bacteria pathogens were different among different ages and seasons. Virus was the major pathogens in young children, while MP was more common in older children.

Objective To explore the level of expression, clinical signiifcance of sB 7-H 3 in the bronchoalveolar lavage lfuid (BALF) of refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) pneumonia (RMPP) in children and the relationship between sB7-H3 and various cytokines. Methods The BALF of forty-three hospitalized children with RMPP (RMPP group) were collected for the diagnosis and treatment. Thirteen cases were lavaged only once and the other thirty cases had collected the BALF twice. The BALF of iffteen hospitalized children with bronchial foreign body were collected as control group. The expression levels of sB 7-H 3 , IL-1β, IL-2 and IL-36 in the BALF were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The expression levels of sB 7-H 3 , IL-1β, IL-2 and IL-36 in the BALF at the acute phase were compared with control group and the group after treatment. Analyzed the correlation between the level of sB 7-H 3 and IL-1β, IL-2 , IL-36 in the BALF of RMPP children at acute stage. Results The levels of sB 7-H 3 , IL-1β and IL-36 in the BALF of the ifrst lavage group were higher than those of single lavage group and control group (all P<0 . 05 ). The levels of sB 7-H 3 , IL-1β, IL-2 and IL-36 in the BALF of single lavage group were higher than those of control group (all P<0 . 05 ). The levels of sB 7-H 3 , IL-1β, IL-2 and IL-36 in the BALF of the second lavage group were lower than those of the ifrst lavage group (all P<0 . 05 ).The levels of sB 7-H 3 , IL-2 in the BALF of the second lavage group were higher than those in the control group (both P<0 . 05 ), but the levels of IL-1β, IL-36 in the BALF showed no difference between the second lavage group and the control group (both P>0 . 05 ). The levels of sB 7-H 3 had positive correlation with the levels of IL-1β, IL-2 and IL-36 (all P<0 . 001 ). Conclusions sB 7-H 3 may control the secretion of IL-1β, IL-2 and IL-36 , and participate in immune response and lung injury after MP infection, which may lead to occurrence and development of RMPP.

Objective To study the pathogenic etiology between nasopharyngeal aspirates (NPA) and bronchoalveolar lavage lfuid (BALF) in children with lower respiratory infection. Methods Multiple pathogen in NPA and BALF from 210 cases with lower respiratory tract infection was detected. Seven common respiratory virus (respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, in-lfuenza virus A, inlfuenza virus B, parainlfuenza 1, parainlfuenza 2, parainlfuenza 3) were detected by direct immunolfuorescence assay. MP, CP and HBoV were detected by lfuorescence quantitative PCR.HRV and hMPV were detected by RT-PCR. Aspirates were cultured for bacteria. The results of pathogen detection in secretions of upper and lower respiratory tract were analyzed. Results Total positive detection rate of NPA and BALF in 210 cases was 91.9%(193/210), which is higher than that in NPA 75.2%(158/210) and that in BALF 85.2%(179/210). Bacteria detection rate in NPA was 13.3%(28/210), and 8.6%(18/210) in BALF, without signiifcant difference (P=0.118). Bacteria detection rate in NPA and BALF was of poor consistency (Kappa=0.262). Virus detection rate in NPA was 24.3%, which is higher than that in BALF15.2%. BALF-MP detection rate was 77.6%(163/210), signiifcantly higher than that in NPA 53.3%(112/210). There are 95.5%(107/112) cases with positive results in NPA-MP detec-tioncan also be detected in the BALF-MP. MP copies in BALF were signiifcantly higher than that in NPA (4.28×106 vs. 1.31×105), and its positive rate in NPA was still higher than that in BALF. MP detection rate in NPA in children with clinical course of longer than two weeks was much lower than those with clinical course of two weeks or less. Conclusions The pathogen detection of virus and MP in NPA can be used as a reference for lower respiratory tract infection. The joint detection of NPA and BALF can improve the detection power. The sensitivity of virus detection in NPA is higher than that in BALF. NPA pathogen detection of virus and MP is of great important evidence-based medicine in the diagnosis of lower respiratory infection. MP detection rate and its copies in BALF are signiifcantly higher than that in NPA. BALF detection is the supplement of pathogen diagnosis in severe or refractory lower respiratory infections.
