Objective To study the risk factors for children with acute central nervous system(CNS)viral in-fection,so that pediatrician may identify children with poor prognosis at early stages of the disease,and provide them with a theoretical basis for clinical treatment. Methods The clinical data of a cohort patients of acute CNS viral infec-tion who were hospitalized at the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University between January 2010 and June 2013 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. According to Glasgow outcome scale on discharge,children were di-vided into good prognosis group and poor prognosis group. Clinical data and outcomes were analyzed by using univariate analysis and binary Logistic regression multivariate analysis. Results Three hundred and one cases were enrolled,278 (92. 36% )patients were assigned to the good prognosis group,and 23(7. 64% )patients were assigned to the poor prognosis group. By univariate analysis,the patients in the poor prognosis group had longer duration of sickness before admission,longer time of fever,lower white blood cell count in cerebrospinal fluid,a relatively lower calcium level,con-scious disturbance at the early stage,multiple seizures,convulsive status epilepticus,meningeal irritation sign,muscle weakness,severe changes in electroencephalogram(EEG),and abnormal neuroimaging findings(computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging,or both)had significant differences between the good prognosis group and the poor short - term outcome groups(all P < 0. 05). By binary Logistic regression multivariate analysis,factors indicating a poor prognosis during the early stage were conscious disturbance at the early stage(0R = 4. 885,95% CI:1. 523 - 15. 670, P = 0. 008),multiple seizures(0R = 6. 352,95% CI:1. 905 - 21. 178,P = 0. 003),severe changes in EEG( 0R =4. 269,95% CI:1. 708 - 10. 666,P = 0. 002),and abnormal neuroimaging findings( 0R = 9. 740,95% CI:2. 360 -40. 192,P = 0. 002). Conclusions Conscious disturbance at the early stage,multiple seizures,severe changes in EEG and abnormal neuroimaging findings are risk factors for acute viral infection of CNS in children.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of intermedin(IMD)on renal ischemia reperfusion injury(IRI)and its mechanism. Methods A total of twenty-four male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: control group, IRI group, empty plasmid group and IMD group. After remove of right kidney, plasmid was transfected into the kidney by ultrasonic microbubbles technology, and IRI model was made after 1 week. Renal pathology was observed by PAS staining. Renal tissue superoxide dismutase(SOD), myeloperoxidase(MPO), caspase-3 activity, and malondialdehyde(MDA)content were detected by colorimetric method. The intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1), endothelin 1(ET-1)and P-selection expression of renal tissue were detected by immunohistochemical method. Apoptosis of renal tubular cell was detected by TUNEL.Results Compared with control group, tubulointerstitial pathological injury was significant aggravated in IRI group(P<0.01);compared with IRI group, IMD pretreatment significantly alleviated the degree of renal injury(P<0.01). Compared with control group, in IRI group, SOD activity was significantly decreased(P<0.05), MPO activity, caspase-3 activity, MDA production and the expression of ICAM-1, P-selection, ET-1 were increased significantly(all P< 0.01). Compared with IRI group, IMD pretreatment significantly increased SOD activity(P <0.05), decreased the MPO activity, caspase-3 activity, MDA production and the expression of ICAM-1, P-selection, ET-1 (all P<0.01). The apoptosis rate of renal tubular epithelial cells in IRI group was significantly higher than that in control group(34.83%±8.75% vs 3.33%±0.47%, P<0.01), while the apoptosis rate of IMD group(20.67%±7.71%)was significantly lower than that of IRI group. There was no difference of above indexes between empty plasmid group and IRI group. Conclusions IMD pretreatment protects against renal IRI. The mechanism may be at least partly related to the clearance of oxygen free radicals, the improvement of lipid peroxidation, inflammatory cell infiltration and cell apoptosis, leading to the decrease of the production of reactive oxygen species caused by oxidative stress.
