Objective To investigate the complications related factors in infants with mycoplasma pneumonia pulmonary(MPP). Methods According to the condition of pulmonary complications, 105 cases of infants MPP were divided into pulmonary complication group and no pulmonary complication group with 72 cases and 33 cases respectively,and the general related factors and disease related factors of two groups were analyzed. Results The incidence rate of pulmonary complication was 68.6% (72/105) in infants MPP, and the main involved extra-pulmonary systems were digestive system (54.2%), cardiovascular system (44.4%) and blood system(33.3%). Among 20 factors associated with pulmonary complications of MPP, age, feeding method (including artificial, mixing and milk three classification), season of onset, fever days, the titer of mycoplasma pneumonia (MP)-IgM, C-reaction protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and the initial time of using macrolides had significant differences between two groups (P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age≥2 years, fever days≥7 d, titer of MP-IgM≥1∶160, increased C-reaction protein levels and accelerated erythrocyte sedimentation rate were the risk factors for pulmonary complications of infants MPP, while breastfeeding and using macrolides within 7 d were the protective factors. Conclusions The incidence rate of pulmonary complications in infants MPP is high, which can affect multiple systems. For children with older age, longer thermal process, higher titer of MP-IgM, and increased C-reaction protein , accelerated erythrocyte sedimentation rate and more past medical history, more attention should be paid for their higher pulmonary complications incidence.

Objective:To analyze the changes of thyroid volume before and after supplementation with lipiodol pills in children with goiter, and to evaluate the recovery effect of lipiodol pills supplementation on children with goiter in the short term.Methods:In October 2018, 4 townships and towns in Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture with relatively serious historical conditions and high goiter rate of children aged 8 to 10 were selected for thyroid examination in 19 primary schools within the jurisdiction. Sixty children with goiter were selected as research subjects; at the same time, 138 children of the same age with normal thyroid B-ultrasound examination results were selected as control in the same period. Under the condition of normal diet, children with goiter were intervened by taking 200 mg lipiodol pills at one time. After 6 months, the thyroid volume of children with goiter and control children was measured by B-ultrasound.Results:Fifty-three children with goiter were finally included, with a sex ratio of 1.00 ∶ 1.04 (26 ∶ 27). There were 138 control children in the same period, with a sex ratio of 1.00 ∶ 1.30 (60 ∶ 78). Six months after taking lipiodol pills, the median thyroid volume of children with goiter was 3.7 ml, which was significantly different from that before supplementing with lipidol pills (5.8 ml, Z = - 7.95, P < 0.001), and not significantly different from that of control children (4.1 ml) in the same period ( Z = - 0.91, P = 0.365). Among them, 90.6% (48/53) of children with goiter recovered to the normal range, and 100.0% (15/15), 81.8% (18/22) and 93.8% (15/16) children's thyroid recovered returned to the normal range in the 8-, 9-, and 10-year-old age groups, respectively, and the highest proportion was in the 8-year-old age group. Stratified by age and gender, the thyroid volume of children with goiter in all age groups and gender after supplementation with lipiodol pills was lower than that before supplementation with lipiodol pills ( P < 0.001), but there was no difference compared with the control children in the same period ( P > 0.05). After supplementing with lipiodol pills, the diameters of thyroid in children with goiter were significantly lower than those before supplementing with lipiodol pills ( P < 0.001). Compared with the control children in the same period, there were significant differences in the right width, left length and right long diameter of the thyroid ( P < 0.05). Conclusion:Supplementing lipiodol pills can restore the thyroid volume of 8 - 10 year old children with goiter to normal range in a short term, and can effectively treat simple goiter.
