Objective To explore the relationship between extraintestinal rotavirus infections and serum MBP levels. Methods Serum MBP levels were measured by double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) in children including extraintestinal rotavirus infections (n = 76) and common rotavirus enteritis ( n = 63 ) during the acute and convalescence phases. A group of healthy children ( n =50) were recruited as control. Results MBP levels were significantly lower in patients with extraintestinal rotavirus infections( 176.35 ± 113.12 ) μg/L in acute phases than those in patients with common rotavirus enteritis (392. 27 ± 128.96) μg/L and healthy control group(676. 25 ± 248. 63) μg/L, and the difference was significant (P <0. 001 ). The serum MBP levels in convalescence phases in the group of extraintestinal rotavirus infections( 358.63 ± 106. 54 ) μg/L was lower than those in the group of common rotavirus enteritis (558. 49 ± 173. 24 ) μg/L and the healthy controls, and their difference was significant ( P < 0. 001 ). The MBP levels in the acute phases among pneumonia group, hepatic lesion group, cardiac damage group and central nervous system damage group caused by rotavirus infection were ( 198.24 ± 126.47) μg/L, ( 169.34 ±124. 38) μg/L,( 184. 62 ± 123.64) μg/L, ( 180. 74 ± 126. 86) μg/L, respectively. The difference among those groups was not significant ( P > 0. 05 ). Conclusion Patients with extraintestinal rotavirus infections showed significantly lower MBP levels during acute and convalescence phases than patients with common rotavirus enteritis. But MBP levels showed no significant differences among those groups of patients with different extraintestinal organ damage caused by rotavirus infection. Lower MBP levels may be associated with the increased susceptibility to extraintestinal rotavirus infections.

Objective:To analyze the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment plan, clinical outcomes of pregnancy with cervical cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 10 pregnant women with cervical cancer from January 2008 to October 2018 in Dalian Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital Affiliated to Dalian Medical University, the First Hospital of Dalian Medical University, Dalian Central Hospital, Dalian Women and Children′s Medical Center and Wafangdian Central Hospital of Liaoning Province were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The incidence of pregnancy with cervical cancer was 0.004% (10/238 128). Among the 10 cases of pregnancy with cervical cancer, the gestational weeks ≤ 20 weeks at the time of diagnosis was in 6 cases, and they all chose to terminate the pregnancy; the gestational weeks 20 +1 to 30 weeks at the time of diagnosis was in 1 case, and the patient chose to terminate the pregnancy; the gestational weeks >30 weeks at the time of diagnosis was in 2 cases, and they all chose to continue the pregnancy; 1 case was diagnosed after delivery. There were 3 newborns, including 1 premature infants, and they all survived. Conclusions:It is helpful to the diagnose of the disease to strengthen cervical cancer screening before pregnancy and improve the examination of patients with abnormal symptoms during pregnancy. The treatment plan should be individualized according to the pregnancy status, stage of the disease, and wishes of the patient and family.
