To understand the prevalence and etiological characteristics of hand, foot and mouth disease(HFMD) in Yangzhou, so as to provide scientific basis for prevention and control of HFMD. HFMD cases from six sentinel hospitals in Yangzhou from January 2015 to December 2019 were taken as the subject of study. The epidemiological data of HFMD were analyzed by descriptive epidemiology method, the enterovirus were detected using RT-PCR method and the etiological characteristics were analyzed. The data were collected by Excel 2007 and statistically analyzed by SPSS22.0 software. A total of 1 151 positive cases were detected from all 2 129 HFMD clinical specimens collected in Yangzhou from 2015 to 2019, with a total positive rate of 54.06%, including 148 cases of EV71(6.95%), 382 cases of CA16(17.94%) and 621 cases of other enterovirus(29.17%). The difference of positive rate in different years( χ2=99.28, P<0.05), different months( χ2=92.09, P<0.05) and different districts( χ2=71.39, P<0.05)was statistically significant. Each subtype of enterovirus showed alternating prevalence in different years. The peak period of detection rate was from April to September (720 cases, 62.55%). The reported incidence for males was higher than females, with the male-female ratio of 1.58∶1 and children under six (971 cases, 84.36%) as the major attacked population. There were obvious seasonal, regional and population characteristics of HFMD in Yangzhou City from 2015 to 2019. It reminds us that surveillance of HFMD should be continually implemented, more attention should be paid to the prevention and control of key population in high-risk seasons, and the booming HFMD cases caused by other enterovirus should be emphasized especially.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of eltrombopag for children with thrombocytopenia after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).Methods:Clinical data of 24 patients with thrombocytopenia after HSCT,who were treated with eltrombopag in the Department of Pediatrics, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University from August 1, 2018 to April 1, 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. The response rate and adverse reactions of eltrombopag were evaluated. Patients were divided into groups by source of hematopoietic stem cells (umbilical cord blood group and peripheral stem cell group) and type of disease (malignant and non-malignant disease group) and the clinical outcomes between groups were compared. Rank Sum test was used for comparisons between groups.Results:Among 24 cases, 15 were males and 9 females, the age of starting eltrombopag was 7.7 (2.6-13.7) years, the time of eltrombopag treatment after HSCT was 27.5 (8.0-125.0) days, the time from treatment to complete response (CR) was 23.5 (6.0-83.0) days, with the treatment course 36.5 (8.0-90.0) days. The total dose of eltrombopag was 1 400(200-5 900) mg. Complete response rate was 92% (22/24),without eltrombopag related adverse reactions. Comparing with peripheral stem cell group ( n=8), the course and total dose of eltrombopag in umbilical cord blood group ( n=16) were significantly reduced(24.5 (8.0-81.0) vs. 65.5 (35.0-90.0) d, Z=-3.004, P=0.002; 900.0 (200.0-3 850.0) vs. 2 862.5 (1 175.0-5 900.0) mg, Z=-2.604, P=0.007), but no significant differences were found in the time from treatment to complete response, platelet count after 2 weeks of eltrombopag withdrawal or platelet count at the end point of follow-up (all P>0.05). Comparing malignant patients ( n=12) and non-malignant patients ( n=12), no significant differences were found in the time from treatment to complete response, course, total dose, platelet count after 2 weeks of eltrombopag withdrawal, and platelet count at the end point of follow-up in non-malignant patients (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Eltrombopag is safe and maybe effective for thrombocytopenia after HSCT, especially for umbilical cord blood transplantation.

Objective To explore whether patients with bipolar disorder are deficit in their theory of Mind (ToM) and the factors influencing the ToM.Methods Three groups (27 with bipolar disorder,27 with schizophrenia,and 26 in health control) were tested.All subjects' ToM was assessed by Faux pas Questions and IQ by WAISR.The symptoms of groups of patients were measured by Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS).Results Three groups' scores of Faux pas Questions(ToM scores) displayed significance(One-Way ANOVA:F(2,77) =13.686,P =0.000) ; Post-hoc test (Games-Howell) showed that ToM scores (13.81 ± 5.66) of bipolar disorder group were lower than those of the control group (17.04 ± 3.79) and higher than the schizophrenia group (9.44 ±6.13).The difference was significant (P =0.048,0.024).Independent sample t test showed that ToM scores of gender in bipolar disorder group were not significant (male:13.20 ± 6.07,femal:14.58 ± 5.26,t =-0.623,P =0.539).There was no correlation between ToM scores of patients with bipolar disorder and their age,years of education,age of onset,duration of illness,scores of negative,positive and general psychiatric rating scale of PANSS,and IQ (> 70).Linear regression by stepwise regression was used on each specific symptom of the PANSS,and according to the outcome,related factor was selected as independent variables,the ToM scores as the dependent variable.The regression equation was ToM scores =21.79-1.53 G12-3.16 N6 ;R2adjust was 0.46.Conclusion Patients with bipolar disorder as a whole compared to the control have deficit in their ToM,and the deficit is less than that of patients with schizophrenia.G12 and N6 of the PANSS are the influencing factors,which explain 46%of the variation sources.

Objective To study the characteristics of cosmetic dermatosis and to determine the allergens for cosmetic dermatosis. Methods Unwanted effects of cosmetics in the 989 patients were observed and the patch test was performed in all patients with Bianmin standard screening patch test kit. Results Of them 698 (70.58 %) were contact dermatitis, 109 (11.02 %) were hyperpigmentation, and 79 (7.99 %) were acne like lesions. One hundred and eighty-nine kinds of cosmetics were suspected to be responsible for the dermatosis. 653 out of 989 patients tested were positive (66.03%). Conclusions Cosmetic dermatosis such as contact dermatitis and hyperpigmentation can be prevented and cured by guidance of patch test. The patch test should be performed in patients with cosmetic dermatosis.
