Hand-foot-and-mouth disease is caused by intestinal virus infection. The viruses coxsackie A16 (CA16) and enterovirus 71 (EV71) are the main pathogens. Between them, the virus EV71 is more dangerous and easier to cause serious complications, which leads to death or disability. Currently, there are no effective antiviral drugs to treat EV71 infection. Therefore, developing an effective drug against EV71 virus activity is significant. It has a huge potency of screening the anti-EV71 components and developing the new drugs from the abundant traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs). Meanwhile, since hand-foot-and-mouth disease spread in Shanghai in 1981, a growing number of reports on TCMs treatment in clinic have been published. In addition, most of treatments with various ways are effective, which play a positive role on improving clinic treatment and controlling diseases. Moreover, special clinic advantages and features of TCMs were obviously shown.

Objective To explore the risk factors for perioperative myocardial infarction(PMI) in aged patients undergoing nonneurologic and noncardiac surgery.Methods A total of 9285 inpatients aged 65 or above receiving nonneurologic and noncardiac surgery at Peking University People's Hospital from November 2012 to May 2016 were retrospectively recruited to our study.Patients who had suffered PMI were assigned to a myocardial infarction group(MI group)and others were allocated to a nonmyocardial infarction group(non-MI group).Clinical manifestations,comorbidities,preoperative laboratory test results,polypharmacy,characteristics of operation and anesthesia,and prognosis were analyzed and compared between the two groups.A multivariate logistic regression model was built to evaluate risk factors for PMI in aged patients undergoing nonneurologic and noncardiac surgery.Results PMI occurred in 12 patients(0.13％).Previous stroke or transient ischemic attack(TIA) history (OR =159.254,P ＜ 0.001),cardiovascular heart disease (CHD) history (OR=33.645,P ＜0.001),and chronic kidney disease(CKD) (OR =19.393,P =0.003) were independent risk factors for PMI in aged patients undergoing nonneurologic and noncardiac surgery.PMI was associated with longer hospitalization[29 (15 59) days vs.9 (6-15) days,P ＜ 0.001] and higher mortality(58.3 ％).Conclusions Previous stroke or TIA history,CHD history,and CKD are independent risk factors for PMI in aged patients undergoing nonneurologic and noncardiac surgery.The incidence of PMI in patients with these risk factors is not high,but the mortality will be high and hospitalization will be prolonged once PMI occurs.Patients with these characteristics need more careful perioperative care.
