Objective: To analyze the epidemic characteristics of enterovirus infection in Yueqing city from 2010 to 2018, and to provide reference for the prevention and control of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) caused by enterovirus. Methods: Clinical data of HFMD cases caused by enterovirus infection during 2010 to 2018 were derived from the disease monitoring information report management system of Yueqing city. Descriptive epidemiological study was performed to analyze the characteristics of enterovirus infection by season, age, gender and region and the features of pathogens. Results: There were 53 178 patients with HFMD in total, including 75 severe cases and six deaths. Enterovirus infection occurred in every month of the years and peaked from April to July. Most of the cases were scattered children and nursery children under five years old and the incidence was higher in males than in females. From 2010 to 2018, the characteristics of enterovirus in Yueqing city had changed significantly. Enterovirus 71 (EV71) was the predominant pathogen during 2010 to 2014, but its detection rate had gradually decreased since 2013. In recent years, the incidence of HFMD caused by non-EV71 and non-coxsackievirus A16 (non-CVA16) enteroviruses significantly increased. Conclusions Enterovirus infection in Yueqing city was featured by significant seasonality and population-specific variation. Etiological detection should be strengthened. Comprehensive prevention and control measures should be taken to prevent the outbreak of HFMD during April to July.

Objective To investigate the incidence of insomnia in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma during radiotherapy and analyze the influencing factors.Method A sleep quality questionnaire for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma during radiotherapy was designed and used for the investigation of the incidence of insomnia as well as the influencing factors related to insomnia.Results The incidence of insomnia was 42.2%.Univariate analysis revealed that radioactive xerostomia,nausea,hospital environmental noise,radioactive oral mucositis,worry about job,worry about prognosis,burp,vomiting,worry about family influence were related to insomnia in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients during radiotherapy;multivariate analysis showed that radioactive oral mucositis,environmental noise and job stress were the independent factors leading to insomnia(All P<0.05).Conclusions There is a high incidence of insomnia in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma during radiotherapy.Radioactive oral mucositis,environmental noise and job stress might be the independent factors relative with insomnia during radiotherapy.

Objective To explore the situation of return-to-work (RTW) and its related factors in female injured works. Methods The da-ta of the basic information, counseling record and follow-up record after discharge were collected from social rehabilitation department in our center. The main influencing factors were analyzed by single factor analysis and two classification Logistic regression. Results 232 ob-jects were collected, among which, 149(64.2%) subjects had returned to work, and the median of absence time was 206.5 days. Single factor analysis indicated that their age, marriage, absence time and educational level were not correlated with the outcome of women injured work-ers' employment (P>0.05). However, place of social insurance, household register and injury severity correlated with the outcome (P<0.05). Conclusion Most of the female injured workers can return to work. The severity of injury, along with some system factors influence the RTW of them.

Objective To explore risk factors for developing neurogenic heterotopic ossification (NHO) after traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods Thirty-three patients suffering from TBI no more than 6 months and admitted to Guangdong Work Injury Rehabilitation Hospital between December 2015 and December 2016 were selected.Those with and without NHO was assigned to an NHO group (n =12) and a control group (n =21) respectively.The two groups were compared in terms of the duration of coma and mechanical ventilation,the time to start rehabilitation and the occurrence of infection,pressure ulceration,deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or inflammation.Muscle tension,white blood cell (WBC) count,erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR),high sensitivity creactive protein (hsCRP) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were also measured.Independent sample T tests,chi-squared tests and binary logistic regression were used to compare the two groups seeking to isolate risk factors for NHO which might be predictive.Results Significantly prolonged coma and/or mechanical ventilation were observed in NHO group compared to the control group.Significant differences were also found in the average WBC,ESR,hsCRP and ALP levels,as well as in the occurrence of infection,DVT and inflammatory symptoms between the two groups.The incidences of infection,DVT and inflammatory reaction were higher in the NHO group,as were the levels of leukocyte,ESR,hsCRP and ALP.Those differences between the groups were statistically (and of course clinically) significant.The duration of coma and mechanical ventilation,infection,DVT,inflammation,and elevated levels of leukocytes,ESR or ALP can all usefully be considered risk factors for NHO,with infection,DVT and inflammation of the highest importance.Conclusion Duration of coma and utilization of mechanical ventilation,infection,DVT,inflammation,as well as an increase of leukocytes,ESR or ALP should be considered as risk factors for NHO after TBI.

OBJECTIVETo assess the frequencies of CYP21A2 gene mutations among patients from Fujian area with classical 21-hydroxylase deficiency.

METHODSFor 19 probands from different families affected with classical steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency and 74 family members, mutations of the CYP21A2 gene were analyzed with combined nested polymerase chain reaction, Sanger sequencing and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification. Time resolved fluorescence immunoassay was performed to determine the level of 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) in all family members. Clinical data and laboratory results of the probands and their family members were analyzed.

RESULTSEleven mutations were identified among the 38 alleles from the 19 probands. 92.1% (35/38) of the mutant CYP21A2 alleles were due to recombination between CYP21A2 and CYP21A1P. Gene conversion and deletions were identified in 84.2% (32/38) and 7.9% (3/38) of the alleles, respectively. IVS2-13A/C>G and chimeras were the most common mutations, which respectively accounted for 34.2% (13/38) and 18.4% (7/38) of all mutant alleles. Among these, IVS2+1G>A and Q318X+356W were first reported in China. 74.3% (55/74) of the family members were carriers of heterozygous mutations. However, no significant difference was found in the 17-OHP levels between carriers and non-carriers (P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONThere seems to be a specific spectrum of CYP21A2 gene mutations in Fujian area, where IVS2-13A/C>G and chimeras are the most common mutations.

OBJECTIVETo explore clinical features and mutation types in patients from Fujian area with glutaric academia type I(GA I).

METHODSSerum acylcarnitine and urine organic acid of 3 patients were determined with tandem mass spectrometry and gas chromatographic mass spectrometry. The patients also underwent magnetic resonance imaging analysis for the cranial region. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples, and the 12 exons and flanking regions of the GCDH gene were amplified with PCR and subjected to direct DNA sequencing. One hundred healthy newborns were used as controls.

RESULTSMutations of the GCDH gene were identified in all of the 3 patients. Two patients have carried compound heterozygous mutations including c.1244-2A>C and c.1147C>T(p.R383C), c.406G>T(p.G136C) and c.1169G>A(p.G390E), respectively. One has carried homozygous c.1244-2A>C mutation. The same mutations were not detected among the 100 healthy newborns. Only one patient received early intervention and did not develop the disease. The other two had irreversible damagesto their intelligence.

CONCLUSIONc.1169G>A(p.G390E) is likely pathogenic mutations for GA I patients from Fujianarea. Early screening of neonatal metabolic diseases is crucial for such patients.
