Early diagnosis and treatment of adenovirus pneumonia is critical to reduce the mortality and pulmonary sequelae.This review summarizes the research progress of risk factors affecting the severity and poor prognosis of adenovirus pneumonia in children.Adenovirus type 7 and high adenovirus DNA load suggest acute severe disease and sequelae.On imaging, children with pleural effusion and small airway lesions need to be vigilant.Abnormal cytokines are observed in laboratory indicators, and changes in biochemical indicators caused by damage of various organs in and outside the lung suggest the occurrence of severe adenovirus pneumonia.Children with young age, premature birth, underlying diseases, long fever, wheezing, low hemoglobin and albumin, mixed infection, and extrapulmonary complications are more likely to progress to severe adenovirus pneumonia.Children younger than 2 years old, with a family history of asthma, history of wheezing, long fever, dyspnea or even respiratory failure, hospitalized in ICU, ventilator-assisted ventilation, and systemic use of hormones should be more vigilant against pulmonary sequelae.

Objective To investigate the supernatant of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) on tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and apoptosis protein caspase-3 in diabetic rats model with skin ulcer. Methods 45 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group (acute wounds group), phosphate buffered saline (PBS) group and UCMSCs supernatant group. The diabetic rat model was constructed by injecting with alloxan by tail vein and feeding with high-fat diet. Diabetic skin ulcer (DSU) rat model was constructed by scratching a wound and infusing suspension of Staphylococcus aureus. In the control group, the diabetic rats (n=15) were scratched to form a wound and treated by tail vein injection of 100μl PBS. In the PBS group, DSU rats (n=15) were treated by tail vein injection of 100μl PBS, and then 100μl PBS was dropped at the ulcer site. In the UCMSCs supernatant group, freeze-dried powder of UCMSCs supernatant was dissolved in 200μl PBS, 100μl of which was injected into the tail vein of DSU rats (n=15), and other 100μl was dropped at the ulcer site. After 5 days of the treatments, the levels of serum TNF-αwere detected by radioimmunoassay method, and the expression of TNF-αand caspase-3 in the ulcer tissues of rats was detected by polymerase chain reaction and Western Blot. Results The levels of TNF-αin the PBS group [(35.9±3.7)μg/L] were significantly higher than that of the control group [(11.4±4.9)μg/L] and the UCMSCs group [(14.7±6.6)μg/L] (all P<0.05). The levels of mRNA and protein expression of TNF-αand caspase-3 in the UCMSCs group were significantly lower than those of the PBS group (all P<0.05), and have no significant differences with respect to those of the control group (all P>0.05). Conclusions UCMSCs supernatant treatments can effectively down-regulate the expression of TNF-αand caspase-3 in ulcer tissue of DSU rats, and play an anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effect.

Objective To analyze the relationship between ferritin, carbohydrate antigen (CA)125, CA153, lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), albumin and progression and prognosis of Sj?gren's syndrome with inter-stitial pneumonitis (pSS-IP). Methods Five hundred and twenty-seven primary pSS patients from 2011 to 2017 were analyzed retro-spectively. According to the lung imaging and clinical features, they were divided into groups. The differences of ferritin, CA125, CA153, LDH and albumin (ALB) levels in each group were analyzed by Mann-Whitney U test. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of pSS complicated with interstitial pneumonitis. Results ① Among the 527 pSS patients, 206 (39.1％) were diagnosed with IP. Compared with 321 patients without interstitial pneumonitis (pSS-N-IP), ferritin, CA125, CA153 and LDH in pSS-IP were relatively higher [189(116, 380) ng/ml vs 138(75, 258) ng/ml, Z=-3.777, P<0.05;19(12, 36) U/ml vs 12(9, 19) U/ml, Z=-5.974, P<0.05;22(12, 34) U/ml vs 9(6, 14) U/ml, Z=-4.582, P<0.05;206(165, 258) U/L vs 161(139, 195) U/L, Z=-8.770, P<0.05], while albumin was lower [34(31, 37) g/L vs 36(34, 39) g/L, Z=5.210, P<0.05]. ② pSS-IP were divided into pSS-IP progression group (46 cases) and pSS-IP stable group (60 cases) according to their lung imaging characteristics. Compared with pSS-IP stabilization group, pSS-IP progression group had higher ferritin [254(129, 693) ng/ml vs 161(104, 259) ng/ml, Z=-2.437, P<0.05]. ③ Logistic regres-sion analysis showed that there was correlation between ferritin and the progress of pSS-IP (OR=1.002). Conclusion Ferritin, CA125, CA153, LDH, albumin are related to pSS-IP. Ferritin isrelated to the progress of pSS-IP, and is a risk factor for the progress of pSS-IP.

The precise etiology of oral lichen planus(OLP)is still unclear,but the existing evidence suggests that drug intake,virus infection,fungal infection,psychological disorders,and immunodeficiency are closely associated with the pathogenesis of OLP.We report a case of OLP accompanied with candidiasis induced by long-term use of antimicrobials for recurrent aphthous ulcer(RAU)and update the literature,to discuss the possible association between OLP and misuse of antimicrobials,and to inform general dentists and pharmacists the importance for practice with optimal antimicrobial stewardship.In this case,a 42-year-old man presented to Xiangya Stomatological Hospital with white reticular patterns spreading in the oral cavity for almost 1 year.He was diagnosed with OLP via histopathological examination.He had a 5-year history of RAU which occurred every 1-2 months,and he was given antimicrobials ingested or injected whenever the ulcers came up.Satisfactory treatment results were obtained by stopping the abuse of antimicrobials and local antifungal therapy.Meanwhile,the exacerbation and alleviation of OLP was closely related to the administration of antimicrobials.Combined with literature review,antimicrobial might contribute to the development of OLP by inducing candidiasis,a common side-effect of misuse of antimicrobials.Considering the seriousness of antimicrobial resistance and opportunistic infection,dentists should prescribe antimicrobials judiciously according to guidelines and evidence-based indications.Appropriate prescribing of antimicrobials is a professional responsibility to all dentists.

Objective To compare the effects of Flexi-bar training in different exercise patterns on trunk stability muscles.Methods From June, 2020 to January, 2021, 21 healthy men in Beijing Bo'ai Hospital finished Flexi-bar exercise in seven patterns in random order, namely no vibration, two hands-front vibration, dominant hand-front vibration, non dominant hand-front vibration, two hands-up vibration, two hands-down vibration and two hands-back vibration. The average voltage of electromyography of upper trapezius, middle trapezius, lower trapezius, latissimus dorsi and lumbar multifidus were recorded with surface electromyography during seven kinds of Flexi-bar exercise.Results The average voltage of lumbar multifidus was the most as two hands-front vibration (F=42.362, P<0.001); however, it was the most for upper trapezius and lower trapezius as two hands-up vibration (F > 10.935, P<0.001), it was the most for latissimus dorsi as two hands-back vibration (F=35.243, P<0.001), and it was the most for ipsilateral middle trapezius as non dominant hand-front vibration (F=40.400, P<0.001).Conclusion Flexi-bar training can effectively activate the contraction of trunk stability muscles, and it can be optimized in targeted patterns.
