Objective:To better understand the clinical characteristics of children with pneumocystis pneumonia(PCP).Methods:Seven cases of non-human immunodeficiency virus infected children with PCP admitted to pediatric intensive care unit(PICU) at Xi′an Children′s Hospital from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 were enrolled.Clinical findings, laboratory examination results, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome data were retrospectively reviewed.Results:There were seven children enrolled in this study including six boys and one girl.The average age was(6.09±3.80)years.Six patients received a long-term steroid or immunosuppressive therapy, and the average duration of medication was(80±30)days.One patient was eventually diagnosed with immunodeficiency disease despite no history of steroid and immunosuppressive therapy.Fever, cough and progressive dyspnea were the main manifestations.The pulmonary signs were not obvious, however, the chest radiographs showed serious ground glass changes.Laboratory examination showed that white blood cell counts were normal, lymphocyte counts were decreased to varying degrees, while C-reactive protein, calcitonin and lipopolysaccharide increased slightly or normal.Lactate dehydrogenase significantly increased and PaO 2/FiO 2 decreased, respectively.All children combined with different degrees of heart, liver and digestive tract damage.Pneumocystis jirovecii infection was diagnosed by metagenomics next-generation sequencing(mNGS), of which one case was detected by bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and the remaining six cases were detected by peripheral blood.After entering PICU, mechanical ventilation, intravenous injection of human immunoglobulin, and continuous renal replacement therapy were performed.None of the children used TMP-SMZ for prophylaxis outside the hospital.Among them, one case was diagnosed with PCP before entering PICU and was given TMP-SMZ for 20 days, while the remaining six patients started to receive TMP-SMZ after entering PICU.Finally, one patient was cured, three died and another three cases died after giving up treatment.The average hospitalization days were(11.28±8.78)days, and the average hospitalization costs were (78, 000±24, 000) RMB. Conclusion:Children with non-human immunodeficiency virus infected PCP usually have underlying diseases or immunodeficiency diseases.Due to non-specific manifestations, rapid progression and high mortality, clinicians should pay more attention to it.It is necessary to dynamically observe the respiratory symptoms, perform mNGS as soon as possible, and give TMP-SMZ treatment in time.TMP-SMZ prophylaxis can be given to patients who are highly suspected of PCP but unable to perform pathogenic examinations.

Objective To determine the effect of the modified UW (University of Wisconsin)solution in the treatment of acute renal tubular necrosis in newborn swine. Methods Ten one-week-old newborn swine were used to establish the animal model of acute renal tubular necrosis by clamping their renal arteries,and were divided into two groups: the model group( n = 5 ) and the treatment group ( n = 5 ) in which fructose diphosphate sodium UW solution was used. Sham surgery was performed on other five swine, which were used as the sham group. At 12 h,l d,2 d,3 d and 7 d after the operation,the urine volume,urine protein,blood urea nitrogen(BUN) and creatinine(Cr) were determined. At 12 h ,24 h and 7 d after the operation ,renal pathological examination was conducted. Results The renal pathological examination and the blood biochemistry tests showed that the animal model was successful. BUN and Cr in the model group and the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the sham group at 12 h after operation(P <0. 05) ,and they arrived at their peak values at 2 d after operation,showed remarkable decline at 7 d,especially in treatment group,and returned to the level of the sham group. The urine protein in the model group and treatment group were higher than those in the sham group at various times(P <0.05 or P <0.01) and it peaked at 1 d after operation,then declining gradually,especially in the treatment group. Compared with the sham group,there were a significant decrease in the urine volume at various times in the model group(P <0. 05 or P <0. 01 ) ,while in the treatment group,the decrease in the urine volume were significant only at 12 h, 1 d and 2 d( P < 0. 05 ) ,and turned insignificant at 3 d and 7 d. The pathological examination showed that the pathological changes in the treatment group were significantly milder than those in the model group. Conclusion The modified UW solution is effective in reducing the acute renal tubular necrosis in newborn swine.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the value of National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) combined with CT angiography(CTA) to predict the clinical outcome of acute ischemic stroke patients at ultra-early stage.Methods70 patients with acute ischemic stroke underwent brain CTA within 6 hours from symptom onset and were divided into two groups according to NNIHSS score, and clinical outcome was compared between two groups.ResultsThere were 38 patients with arterial occlusion on CTA and 32 patients with normal CTA. The percentage of occlusion on CTA for patients presenting with more severe neurological deficits was higher than those patients with slight to moderate deficits. The patients with occlusion on CTA and presenting with more severe deficits had a poor clinical outcome (P<0.01). 78% of patients with normal angiograms had good outcome, only 44.7% patients with arterial occlusion had a good clinical outcome(P<0.05). Both CTA evidence of vessel occlusion and admission NIHSS score correlated with clinical outcome measured by discharge NIHSS score(r=0.25, P=0.04 and r=0.73, P=0.000 respectively). The sensitivity and specificity for predicting clinical outcome by using the NIHSS score alone was 56.65% and 85.29%, and positive predictive value (PPV+) was 80.00%. There was a sensitivity of 63.89%, a specificity of 73.53%, a PPV+ of 71.88% if CTA showed vessel obstruction. If NIHSS scores combined with CTA to predict clinical outcome, the result showed a sensitivity of 70.11%, a specificity of 91.18%, a PPV+ of 88.00%.ConclusionThose patients with vessel occlusion on CTA appear to have a worse clinical outcome. NIHSS combining with CTA may increase specificity for judging prognosis and guide treatment.
