Methods Thirty seven Echovirus 19 isolates were isolated from stool specimens and throat swabs collected during the outbreak, then major capsid （VP1） genomic sequence was determined, and phylogenetic tree was done based on the VP1 sequences among these 37 and other El9 viruses deposited in the Genbank. Also a representative strain named CHN-SD03-TN12 was selected for sequencing of 5′-untranslated regions （5′-UTR）. Results The identity rate was about 98.9%-100% among all these 37 El9 viruses. The genetic relationships between these 37 El9 isolates and other strains reported were also depicted. The identity rate was about 78.4%-78.9% compared with El9 reference strain Burke. The substitutions in the sequence of 5′-UTR resulted in changes in the conjectural properties of 5′-UTR of El9 viruses. Condusion The genetic features of El9 viruses isolated during the outbreak in Shandong Province in 2003 may be associated with a genetic and antigenic drift that changes the virulence of the Shandong isolates, but the molecular changes in Shandong El9 viruses contributing to their phenotype remain to be further illuminated. However, the sequences described in this paper substantiate the changes taken place in capsid VPI and 5′UTR regions. These substitutions may contribute to their tropism and virulence, and play a significant role in pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of the disease.展开更多

They showed that comparing the NAP positive rate of HFMD co-infection with the NAP positive rate of other three groups respectively—reference group, HFMD group and anti-infection HFMD group—the t value is 25.7964, 28.2326, 28.3696 and the values of P are 0.0000;Comparing the NAP integral value of HFMD co-infection with the NAP integral value of other three groups respectively, which are reference group, HFMD group and anti-infection HFMD, the t value is 35.8687, 36.2664, 36.1374 and the values of P are 0.0000. They concluded that it is useful to apply WBC morphological examination combined with the positive rate and integral value of NAP staining to diagnose and treatment HFMD.展开更多

On the basis of the control group, the observation group is given Modified Ganlu Xiaodu Dan, and Kuhuangsan for washing body. 7 d is a course of treatment. The recurrence time of the two groups, the time of rash regression and the efficacy of the children have been observed. The changes of liver function, myocardial zymogram, inflammatory factors and immunoglobulin are compared before and after treatment.Results: The efficacy of the observation group was 92.1% higher than that of the control group (83.3%), and the difference was statistically significant. The time required for the body temperature of the observation group (2.64±0.57) d was lower than that of the control group (3.12±0.62) d, and the time required for the rash to resolve was (4.18±0.69) d, which was lower than that of the control group (5.25±0.73) d. Statistically significant. The levels of ALT, AST, CK-MB, IL-4 and IL-6 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group after treatment, the difference was statistically significant. The serum IgA and IgM levels in the observation group were higher than those in the control group after treatment. Conclusion: Modified Ganlu Xiaodu Dan and Kuhuang San combined with interferon for the treatment of HFMD of damp-heat accumulation toxin syndrome have a sound curative effect and it can improve liver function, protect cardiomyocytes, reduce inflammatory factors, and regulate immune function for children.展开更多
