目的探讨极速实时荧光聚合酶链反应(polymerase chain reaction,PCR)、实时荧光PCR、酶联免疫吸附测定(enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,ELISA)和胶体金免疫层析法(gold immunochromatography assay,GICA)4种方法检测新型布尼亚病毒的特异度和灵敏度,为发热伴血小板减少综合征的早期诊断提供依据。方法采集2017年6月1日至9月30日山东大学附属济南市传染病医院86例临床诊断为发热伴血小板减少综合征患者的血清样本,分别应用极速实时荧光PCR、实时荧光PCR、ELISA和GICA 4种方法进行检测。统计学分析采用χ^2检验。结果86份患者血清标本中,极速实时荧光PCR、实时荧光PCR、IgM-ELISA、IgG-ELISA、IgM-GICA、IgG-GICA的新型布尼亚病毒阳性分别为82份(95.34%)、79份(91.86%)、41份(47.67%)、8份(9.3%)、19份(22.09%)和3份(3.49%)。极速实时荧光PCR特异度为100%,灵敏度达到1×103拷贝/mL,3次重复扩增试验显示其Ct值变异系数均<2%。在发热伴血小板减少综合征进展的1期、2期、3期病程中,极速实时荧光PCR的阳性检出率为41份(97.62%)、34份(94.44%)、7份(87.50%),实时荧光PCR的阳性检出率为39份(92.86%)、33份(91.67%)、7份(87.50%),在1期和2期两个病程,极速实时荧光PCR阳性检出率略高;IgM-ELISA阳性检出率从1期(28.57%)到3期(87.50%)显著增高,2期、3期与1期相比,差异均有统计学意义(χ^2=8.347、7.561,均P<0.01);IgM-GICA的阳性检出率从1期(14.29%)到2期(33.33%)也有增高,差异有统计学意义(χ^2=3.962,P<0.05),但与其他方法相比,其检出率偏低。1期,实时荧光PCR阳性检出率显著高于ELISA(IgM和IgG)和GICA(IgM和IgG),差异均有统计学意义(χ^2=33.740、55.080、49.010、64.340,均P<0.01)。2期,实时荧光PCR的阳性检出率高于ELISA(IgM和IgG)和GICA(IgM和IgG),差异均有统计学意义(χ^2=7.700、46.720、23.700、50.630,均P<0.01)。3期,极速实时荧光PCR、实时荧光PCR和IgM-ELISA表现出同样高的阳性检出率,远高于IgG-ELISA和GICA(IgM和IgG)。实时荧光PCR阳性检出率和IgG-ELISA、IgM-GICA、IgG-GICA之间差异均有统计学意义(均χ^2=6.250,P<0.05)。结论极速实时荧光PCR在新型布尼亚病毒的早期检测中有更高的灵敏度和特异度,且重复性好、稳定度高,与传统实时荧光PCR相比大大缩短了扩增时间,对发热伴血小板减少综合征的早期快速诊断具有重要价值。     

Double-balloon enteroscopy for retrieving retained small-bowel video capsule endoscopes: a systematic review

Abstract

Background and aim: Capsule retention is the most common adverse event associated with video capsule endoscopy. The use of double-balloon enteroscopy-assisted capsule endoscope retrieval has been increasingly reported in recent years. However, evidence is limited regarding its success rate, associated factors, and subsequent clinical outcomes.

Methods: A systematic review of relevant studies published before January 2019 was performed. Successful retrieval rate and associated factors, rate of endoscopic balloon dilation, and outcomes after double-balloon enteroscopy were summarized and pooled.

Results: Within 154 associated original articles, 12 including 150 cases of capsule retrieval by double-balloon enteroscopy were included. The estimated pooled successful retrieval rate was 86.5% (95% confidence interval, 75.6–95.1%). Anterograde approach and capsules retained in the jejunum or trapped by malignant strictures were associated with a higher successful retrieval rate than the retrograde approach (62/83 [74.7%] vs. 10/38 [26.3%], p?<?.001) and capsules retained in the ileum (41/41 [100.0%] vs. 43/58 [74.1%], p?<?.001) or trapped by benign strictures (21/21 [100.0%] vs. 65/83 [78.3%], p?=?.043). Endoscopic balloon dilation was performed in 38.8% (95% confidence interval, 22.3–56.3%) of patients with benign strictures. Two perforations (1.3%) were reported as severe adverse events after double-balloon enteroscopy. A significantly lower surgery rate was found among cases with successful video capsule removal compared with unsuccessful cases (7.2% vs. 38.5%, p?=?.002).

Conclusions: Double-balloon enteroscopy is feasible and safe for removing retained video capsule endoscopes, and its use could decrease the need for surgery in patients with benign strictures and facilitate subsequent surgery in patients with malignant strictures.     

Analysis of Risk and Burden of Dysentery Associated with Floods from 2004 to 2010 in Nanning,China

This study aimed to examine the association between floods and the morbidity of dysentery and to quantify the burden of dysentery due to floods in Nanning, China. A generalized additive mixed model was conducted to assess the relationship between monthly morbidity of dysentery and floods from 2004 to 2010. The years lived with disability (YLDs) of dysentery attributable to floods were then estimated based on the WHO framework of the burden of disease study for calculating the potential impact fraction. The relative risk (RR) of floods on the morbidity of dysentery was 1.44 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.18–1.75). The models suggest that a potential 1-day rise in flood duration may lead to 8% (RR = 1.08, 95% CI = 1.04–1.12) increase in the morbidity of dysentery. The average attributable YLD per 1,000 of dysentery caused by floods were 0.013 in males, 0.005 in females, and 0.009 in persons. Our study confirms that floods have significantly increased the risk and the burden of dysentery in the study area. Public health action should be taken to prevent and control the potential risk of dysentery after floods. Vulnerable groups such as males and children should be paid more attention.

Dexamethasone treatment attenuates early seawater instillation-induced acute lung injury in rabbits.

There is very little evidence on the value of giving corticoids in cases of seawater drowning induced acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether dexamethasone treatment can attenuate seawater instillation-induced acute lung injury in rabbits. Seawater (4 ml/kg body weight) was instilled into the lower trachea of ventilated, anesthetized rabbits. Then these rabbits were assigned randomly 20 min later to receive intravenous injection of 1mg/kg body weight of dexamethasone (dissolving in 2 ml of normal saline) or 2 ml of normal saline. All animals demonstrated immediate drops in arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) and the total thoracic compliance, which were significantly improved after 2 h of dexamethasone treatment. Histopathological study also indicated that dexamethasone treatment markedly attenuated lung histopathological changes, alveolar hemorrhage and inflammatory cells infiltration with evidence of decreasing of myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) concentration in lung tissue. In addition, dexamethasone treatment reduced extravascular lung water and lung epithelial-endothelial barrier permeability, up-regulated the expression of surfactant protein-A (SP-A) and alpha-epithelial Na+ channel, and increased Na+/K+-adenosine triphosphatase (Na+/K+-ATPase) activity and Na+/K+-ATPase-alpha1 protein abundance. Thus, these data indicate that dexamethasone treatment might be of benefit in patients with seawater aspiration-induced ALI.
