This study was aimed at establishing a novel visual detection method for SARS-CoV-2 based on magnetic beads(MBs)enrichment and Au@Pt nanoparticles(Au@PtNPs)enzyme catalysis.According to the double-antibody sandwich method,MBs conjugated with SARS-CoV-2 antibody 1 enriched SARS-CoV-2 antigen in samples.After magnetic adsorption,separation,and washing,the enriched antigen reacted with Au@PtNPs labeled with SARS-CoV-2 antibody 2,thereby forming an immune com-plex.After another round of magnetic adsorption and washing,the color change was catalyzed by Au@PtNPs in the chromogenic solu-tion,and the results were determined through comparison of color changes:a blue color change indicated a positive result,whereas no obvious color change indicated a negative result.The sensitivity and specificity of this method were evaluated.This study successfully established a visual detection method based on MBs enrichment and Au@PtNPs enzyme catalysis for targeting SARS-CoV-2 antigens.The method was able to detect SARS-CoV-2 antigens within 30 minutes and SARS-CoV-2nucleocapsid protein samples with antigen concentrations above 3.125 ng/mL.The method showed no cross-reactivity with seasonal influenza(H1N1)or influenza B virus nu-cleoprotein.The visual detection method established in this study,based on Au@PtNPs enzyme catalysis and MBs enrichment,has high specificity and sensitivity,is simple and quick to operate,and provides a new approach for rapid viral detection.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of high-titer plasma in the treatment of severe viral pneumonia in children.Methods:A total of 80 eligible children with severe viral pneumonia in intensive care unit of Guangzhou Women and Children Medical Center were enrolled in this retrospective study from January 2016 to June 2019, According to whether high-titer plasma was used or not, patients were divided into the high-titer plasma group (40 cases) and non-high-titer plasma group (40 cases). Chi-square test, Fisher's exact probability test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare the basic data, infection indicators, blood gas and ventilator parameters related indicators, treatment and prognosis of the two groups. Results:There were no significant differences in age, sex, admission weight, onset days and fever days between the high-titer plasma group and non-high- titer plasma group before entering the study (all P>0.05); There were no significant differences in the worst SOFA score, Murray lung injury score, chest X-ray involvement and sepsis within 3 days (all P>0.05). There were no significant differences in white blood cells, neutrophils and c-reactive protein between the two groups before and after entering the study (day 3 and 7) (all P> 0.05). There were no significant differences in arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO 2), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2), lactic acid (Lac), mean airway pressure (MAP), oxygenation index (P/F) and oxygen index (OI) between the two groups before and after entering the study (day 1, 3 and 7) (all P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the use of immunoglobulin, hormone, fiberoptic bronchoscope, blood purification, high frequency ventilator, pulmonary surfactant and extracorporeal membrane between the two groups (all P>0.05). There were no statistical differences in the number of days using invasive ventilator, the number of days staying in PICU and the total length of hospital stay between the two groups (all P>0.05). There was shorter time of the body temperature decreased to normal time in the high-titer plasma group than in the non-high-titer plasma group ( Z=-2.10, P=0.04). The survival rate of the high-titer plasma group was higher than that of the non-high-titer plasma group (85% vs 65%, χ2=4.27, P=0.04). The average daily cost of the high-titer plasma group was less than that of the non-high-titer plasma group, 3 688.38 yuan (2 335.49, 5 741.51) yuan vs 3 979.24 yuan (2 670.68, 9 992.62) yuan, but the difference was not statistically significant (Z=-1.35, P=0.18). No serious adverse reactions were observed during the treatment with high-titer plasma. Conclusions:The treatment of severe viral pneumonia with high-titer plasma can shorten fever time and improve survival rate. High-titer plasma can be used as a safe and effective treatment for severe viral pneumonia.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of high-titer plasma in the treatment of pediatric patients with severe adenovirus pneumonia.Methods:The clinical data of 92 pediatric patients with severe adenovirus pneumonia admitted to pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center from January 2016 to October 2019 were retrospectively collected. According to the treatment with or without high-titer plasma, the patients were divided into plasma treatment group ( n=41) and non-plasma treatment group ( n=51). The 51 patients with chest radiograph showing more than half the lungs involved were divided into plasma treatment group ( n=29) and non-plasma treatment group ( n=22). According to fever duration before plasma treatment, patients were divided into early group (≤5 days, n=5), middle group (>5-10 days, n=14), and late group (>10 days, n=22). Baseline data, therapeutic effects, and prognosis of patients in each group were analyzed with t test, non-parametric rank sum test, one-way ANOVA and chi-square test. Results:Ninety-two patients were included. There were no significant differences in age, gender, body weight, fever duration, sequential organ failure assessment, and Murray lung injury score between plasma treatment group and non-plasma treatment group before admission (all P>0.05). The proportion of patients whose temperature drop to normal within 5 days was higher in plasma treatment group than that in non-plasma treatment group (88% (36/41) vs. 69% (35/51), χ 2=4.745, P=0.029). However, there were no significant differences between the two groups in the proportions of invasive ventilator weaning within 14 days (63% (26/41) vs. 76% (39/51), χ 2=1.868, P=0.172), transfer out from PICU within 14 days (49% (20/41) vs. 69% (35/51), χ 2=3.724, P=0.054), discharge within 28 days (51% (21/41) vs. 61%(31/51), χ 2=0.846, P=0.358) and survived patients (85% (35/41) vs. 76%(39/51), χ 2=1.143, P=0.285). Among patients with severe chest radiograph, the proportions of patients whose temperature drop to normal within 5 days and survived patients were higher in plasma treatment group than those in non-plasma treatment group (86% (25/29) vs. 59% (13/22), χ 2=4.843, P=0.028; 83% (24/29) vs. 55%(12/22), χ 2=4.796, P=0.029, respectively). However, there were no significant differences between the two groups in the proportions of invasive ventilator weaning within 14 days (52% (15/29) vs. 59% (13/22), χ 2=0.274, P=0.601), transfer out from PICU within 14 days (34% (10/29) vs. 45% (10/22), χ 2=0.632, P=0.427), and discharge within 28 days (45% (13/29) vs. 45% (10/22), χ 2=0.002, P=0.964). Among early, middle and late group, the proportions of invasive ventilator weaning within 14 days were 2/5, 13/14 and 50% (11/22), respectively, with statistically significant difference (χ 2=8.119, P=0.017). There were no significant differences in the proportions of patients whose temperature drop to normal within 5 days (4/5, 14/14, 82% (18/22), χ 2=2.965, P=0.227), transfer out from PICU within 14 days (2/5, 10/14, 36%(8/22), χ 2=4.386, P=0.112), discharge within 28 days (2/5, 8/14, 50% (11/22), χ 2=0.462, P=0.794) and survived patients (4/5, 13/14, 82% (18/22), χ 2=0.966, P=0.617) in the three groups. Only one case with high-titer plasma therapy had rash in the course of infusing plasma and no other adverse reactions were observed. Conclusions:High-titer plasma can shorten the fever time and improve the proportion of survival patients in pediatric severe adenovirus pneumonia. The clinical effect of high-titer plasma is better in 5-10 days of fever course. High-titer plasma is an effective and safe treatment.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the diagnosis and treatment characteristics of patients with severe Influenza A.

METHODA retrospective investigation on the clinical manifestation, chest radiography, electronic fiber bronchoscopy and the histology of the cast, rescue course and outcome was conducted in 15 children with severe influenza A during January to May of 2013.

RESULTEleven cases were male, the range of age was 2 to 6 years; 5 cases were female, the range of age was 1 month to 6 years, accouting for 4.2% of hospitalized children with influenza. Three patients had an underlying chronic disease, two had nephrotic syndrome, and one had congenital heart disease. All the 15 cases were diagnosed as severe influenza A virus infection complicated with pneumonia and respiratory failure, of whom 10 cases were infected with H1N1 virus , the other 5 cases could not be identified as H1N1 virus by using H1N1 kit, but none of the 15 cases were infected with H7N9 virus. Of 15 cases, 8 had atelectasis, 4 had pneumothorax, 3 had pneumomediastinum, 4 had pleural effusion, 1 had pneumorrhagia; 12 patients required mechanical ventilation. 1 only required noninvasive mask CPAP, 2 did not require assisted ventilation, they were just given mask oxygen. Seven cases' sputum culture showed combined infection with bacteria and fungi, sputum smear examination detected: G(+) cocci in 2 cases, and G(-) bacilli in the other 2. By using electronic fiber bronchoscopy, bronchial cast was detected in 5 patiens. Histological examination of the bronchial cast revealed a fibrinous exudation containing large quantity of eosinophils, neutrophils in 1 patients, fibrinous exudation and necrotic material containing large quantity of neutrophils in 4 patients. After the bronchial casts were removed, 4 patients were improved greatly. All patients were treated with postural drainage of left and right side position, massage of electric oscillation, strengthening the sputum suction aiming to improve pulmonary ventilation function. Three patients died: 1 case was compliicated with nephrotic syndrome, another case had congenital heart disease, and 1 case hads pneumorrhagia, renal failure and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS).

CONCLUSIONThe mortality of severe Influenza A is higher if it is complicated with underlying chronic diseases. In children undergoing rapid and progressive respiratory distress with lung atelectasis, consolidation or emphysema on chest X-ray, plastic bronchitis should be considered. Electronic fiber bronchoscopy should be performed early Lung physicotherapeutics still are important assistant measures for improving the pulmonary ventilation function.
