Objective:To analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of Mycoplasma pneumoniae ( Mp) infection among hospitalized children with acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) in a single center in Beijing and provide reference for the prevention and treatment of Mp infection. Methods:Nasopharyngeal aspirate (NPA) samples of hospitalized children with ARTIs were collected from Beijing Friendship Hospital during two periods: from April 2018 to March 2019 and from September 2020 to August 2022. qPCR was used to detect Mp nucleic acids, and for Mp-positive samples, the mixed infections with 15 common respiratory viruses were detected. Statistical analysis was conducted using Chi-square test, Fisher′s exact test, and independent samples t-test. Results:From April 2018 to March 2019, 1 572 NPA samples were collected, with 104 positive for Mp (6.62%). From September 2020 to August 2022, 622 samples were collected, with 22 Mp-positive samples (3.54%). There was statistically significant difference in the positive rates between the two time periods ( P<0.05). From April 2018 to March 2019, the positive rate of Mp was higher in children aged ≥5 years than in those <5 years [13.03% (46/353) vs 4.76% (58/1 219), P<0.05]; the positive rates in summer (9.54%, 35/367) and autumn (7.93%, 33/416) were higher than those in spring (3.03%, 11/363) and winter (5.87%, 25/426), with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05); co-infections with other respiratory viruses were detected in 42 out of the 104 Mp-positive cases (40.38%), primarily with human rhinovirus (35.71%, 15/42) or human coronavirus NL63 (19.05%, 8/42). From September 2020 to August 2022, Mp infections mainly occurred in children aged ≥5 years [72.73% (16/22)], and co-infections with other respiratory viruses were detected in four cases (18.18%, 4/22). The Mp-infected children were mainly diagnosed with pneumonia, and there was no significant difference in clinical symptoms between Mp-infected patients with or without viral coinfection. Conclusions:The positive rate of Mp among hospitalized children with ARTIs in Beijing from September 2020 to August 2022 is significantly lower than that observed from April 2018 to March 2019. Mp is an important cause of ARTIs in children, especially in patients aged ≥5 years. Mp infection is often accompanied by viral co-infections, with high incidence in summer and autumn.

Objective:To isolate and culture WU polyomavirus (WUPyV), and to analyze the genome-wide evolutionary patterns, homology and population dynamics.Methods:Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the nasopharyngeal aspirate samples of hospitalized children with respiratory tract infection in Beijing Friendship Hospital during 2020 to 2022. Primary human airway epithelial cells cultured at the air-liquid interface were used to isolate and culture WUPyV. Whole genome sequence of the isolated strain was obtained by Sanger sequencing. For phylogenetic and evolutionary dynamics analysis, the whole genome was compared with the published whole genome sequences in GenBank database.Results:The detection rate of WUPyV was 4.7% (31/659) during 2020 to 2022, and a clinical strain BJ0593 of WUPyV type Ⅲc was successfully isolated. The homology of the whole genome and gene fragments of WUPyV was high. The average evolutionary rate of VP2 gene was about 1.256×10 -4 substitution/site every year, and the population dynamics of WUPyV tended to be flat in the last decade. Conclusions:This study successfully isolated a clinical WUPyV type Ⅲ strain for the first time, which provided the basis for further investigation on the molecular evolution and pathogenicity of WUPyV.

Objective To investigate the changes of coagulation function in patients with sepsis after anti-coagulant treatment and its correlation with prognosis.Methods The clinical data of 132 patients with sepsis in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively,and all the patients were given routine anti-infection,fluid re-placement,acid suppression,organ support and anticoagulant treatment.The prognosis was recorded within 1 month after admission,the patients enrolled in the study were divided into the death group(46 cases)and the survival group(86 cases).T he sex,age and coagulation function[prothrombin time(PT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),thrombin time(TT),fibrinogen(FIB),two D-dimer(D-D),platelet count (PLT)]of the patients were compared between the two groups.Logistic multiple factor regression analysis was performed.At the same time,ROC curves for predicting the risk of death in patients by using coagulation function were drew.Results After the anticoagulant treatment,PT,APTT,TT,FIB,D-D values of the sur-vival group were lower than the death group,and PLT was higher than the death group(P < 0.05).Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that PT,APTT and PLT were independent factors in the mortality of sepsis patients(P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of PT for predicting death risk was 0.815,when the best cut-off value was 13.84 s,the sensitivity was 0.870 and specificity was 0.698.The AUC of APTT for predicting death risk was 0.756.,when the best cut-off value was 38.95 s,the sensitivity was 0.848 and speci-ficity was 0.698.The AUC of PLT for predicting death risk was 0.826,when the best cutoff value was 216.62×109,the sensitivity was 0.686 and the specificity was 0.913.Conclusion After anticoagulant treat-ment ,PT ,APTT and PLT are independent prognostic factors of sepsis ,and they have some predictive valuefor the risk of death .

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of the urine micro albumin(MA)and urine enzyme detections in early renal injury in children with allergic purpura.Methods 120 patients with allergic purpura were chosen as the research sub-jects and divided into the early renal injury group and non-renal injury group according to whether having the renal injury.Contem-poraneous 40 healthy children were chosen as the healthy control group.The urine MA and urine enzyme levels were detected and compared among the various groups.Results MA was (17.5 ±3.8)mg/L in the study group,transferring(TRF)was (0.56 ± 0.34)mg/L,β2-MG was (0.35 ±0.07 )mg/L,NAG was (18.6 ±5.1 )U/g,which were significantly higher than those in the healthy control group,the differences were statistically significant (P <0.05 );in the early renal injury group,MA was (42.1 ± 21.3)mg/L,TRF was (1.65±0.54)mg/L,β2-MG was (0.43±0.06)mg/L and NAG was (23.1±5.12)U/L,which were signif-icantly higher than those in the non-renal injury group,the differences had statistically significance (P <0.05).Conclusion The de-tection of urine MA and urine enzyme can be used as the indexes for monitoring the early renal injury in children with allergic pur-pura,and is conducive to early discovery,in time intervention and reduce the occurrence of complications.

Objective To investigate the expression of lipoprotein(a)and fibrinogen different genders of patients with coronary heart disease(CHD)and its clinical significance.Methods 1 500 patients with CHD in the hospital from January 2009 to December 2013 were selected as the observation group,including 954 males and 546 females.Contemporaneous 500 healthy people with physi-cal examination were selected as the control group,including 329 males and 171 females.The myocardial enzymes,serum lipid,blood coagulation function and various proteins were detected.Results Whether males or females,CK,CKMB,AST,LDH,α-HBDH, TC,TG,LDL-C,Fib,D-D,TT,FDP,LPa,cTnI,MYO and HCY in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group.HDL-C,APTT,INR and PT in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group.The differences were statistically significant(P <0.05 ).Conclusion Whether males or females,the different degrees of abnormal ex-pression of myocardial enzyme spectral indexes,blood lipid indexes,coagulation indexes,apolipoprotein,troponin,myoglobin and ho-mocysteine exist in the patients with CHD.Lipoprotein(a)and fibrinogen have high expression in the CHD patients,which can pro-vide the reliable scientific basis for diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
