Successful Treatment of PFAPA (Periodic Fever, Aphthous Stomatitis, Pharyngitis, and Adenitis) Syndrome with Shinbuto

Periodic fever with aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome is an autoimmune disorder and the most common disorder characterized by periodic fever in children. A male patient has been followed up from 11 months to 10 years of age because of repeated high fever. We prescribed antifebriles and antibiotics for each febrile episode without a beneficial effect to him each time. He required several days of rest at home to recover from each episode. During his most recent febrile episode at 10 years of age, we prescribed 5.0 g of shinbuto (TJ-30;Tsumura Co., Tokyo, Japan). His fever resolved the next day and he was able to attend school. His growth and development are normal. Shinbuto had a therapeutic effect in this patient with PFAPA syndrome and may be useful in this condition.

Infectivity of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome during Its Incubation Period

Objective To evaluate the infectivity of severe acute respiratory syndrome （SARS） during its incubation period by investigating chains of transmission and individuals isolated for medical observation with a view to providing scientific evidence for updating protocols of medical isolation. Methods Individuals related with the two SARS chains of transmission in Beijing in 2003 and a group of individuals isolated for medical observation in Haidian district of Beijing during the SARS outbreak were selected as subjects of study. Contactors with SARS patients and those with symptom development following the contacts were investigated via questionnaire. Serum samples were collected from super transmitters and tested for SARS-CoV antibody by neutralization test and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Results A total of 1 112 contactors were investigated in three surveys. Of them, 669 had a history of close contact with symptomatic SARS patients, 101 developed symptoms with a rate of 15.1%, 363 had a history of close contact with patients in their incubation period, none of whom developed symptoms （0%）. Serum samples were collected fi＇om 32 highly-exposed individuals, of whom 13 developing SARS symptoms atter contact had serum samples positive for SARS-CoV antibody. Samples collected from the asymptomatic contactors were all negative for SARS-CoV antibody. Conclusion SARS cases are infectious only during their symptomatic period and are non-infectious during the incubation period. Isolation for medical observation should be placed for individuals who are in close contact with symptomatic SARS patients. The results of our study are of decisive significance for the Ministry of Health to the definition of SARS close contactor.

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome:Diagnostic and therapeutic approach

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome （P3S） is an inherited, autosomal dominant disorder distinguished by hamartomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal tract and pigmented mucocutaneous lesions. Prevalence of PJS is estimated from 1 in 8300 to 1 in 280000 individuals. PJS predisposes sufferers to various malignancies （gastrointestinal, pancreatic, lung, breast, uterine, ovarian and testicular tumors）. Bleeding, obstruction and intussusception are common complications in patients with P3S. Double balloon enteroscopy （DBE） allows examination and treatment of the small bowel. Polypectomy using DBE may obviate the need for repeated urgent operations and small bowel resection that leads to short bowel syndrome. Prophylaxis and polypectomy of the entire small bowel is the gold standard in PJS patients. Intraoperative enteroscopy （IOE） was the only possibility for endoscopic treatment of patients with PJS before the DBE era. Both DBE and IOE facilitate exploration and treatment of the small intestine. DBE is less invasive and more convenient for the patient. Both procedures are generally safe and useful. An overall recommendation for PJS patients includes not only gastrointestinal multiple polyp resolution, but also regular lifelong cancer screening （colonoscopy, upper endoscopy, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasound of the pancreas, chest X-ray, mammography and pelvic examination with ultrasound in women, and testicular examination in men）. Although the incidence of PJS is low, it is important for clinicians to recognize these disorders to prevent morbidity and mortality in these patients, and to perform presymptomatic testing in the first-degree relatives of PJS patients.

Metabolic Syndrome and Perioperative Complications during Scheduled Surgeries with Spinal Anesthesia

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a constellation of factors associated with increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and Diabetes Mellitus. Despite of the many studies related to MS, little is known about its impact on scenarios such as surgical anesthesia. Objective: To examine the correlation between demographic and metabolic variables with the occurrence of perioperative complications in patients with MS undergoing scheduled surgeries using a spinal anesthesia technique in the surgery department at the University Clinic San Juan de Dios in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. Methods: Observational, analytical, cross-sectional, single-center study of 150 subjects with MS and 150 control subjects. Perioperative complications, socio-demographic, hemodynamic and respiratory variables were registered. Groups were compared using t test, Fisher’s exact test or Chi-square, as appropriate. We applied a logistic multiple regression model, adjusted by backward stepwise at 0.25 and forward at 0.05, to find possible incompatible associations. p value < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: There were significant differences between groups in age, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification, frequency of diseases associated to MS and perioperative complications. There were no cases of mortality among patients. There was statistically significant difference between the two groups for intraoperative hypotension and hypertension with p values of <0.0001 and 0.034. Among postoperative complications there was statistically significant difference in pain (13.3% vs 5.3% in patients without MS) and nausea and/or postoperative vomiting (8% vs 2% in patients without MS) with a p value of 0.027 and 0.015 (by Fisher) respectively. Conclusions: Metabolic abnormalities in MS are a risk factor for developing complications in the perioperative period of patients scheduled for surgeries using the subarachnoid anesthesia technique. Accordingly, it is appropriate to implement health intervention strategies by the surgical team, aiming at their prevention and management.

Post-cardiac arrest syndrome:Mechanisms and evaluation of adrenal insufficiency

Cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of death and represents maximal stress in humans. After restoration of spontaneous circulation, post-cardiac arrest syndrome is the predominant disorder in survivors. Besides the post-arrest brain injury, the post-resuscitation myocardial stunning, and the systemic ischemia/reperfusion response, this syndrome is characterized by adrenal insufficiency, a disorder that often remains undiagnosed. The pathophysiology of adrenal insufficiency has not been elucidated. We performed a comprehensive search of three medical databases in order to describe the major pathophysiological disturbances which are responsible for the occurrence of the disorder. Based on the available evidence, this article will help physicians to better evaluate and understand the hidden yet deadly post-cardiac arrest adrenal insufficiency.

Neither hereditary periodic fever nor periodic fever, aphthae, pharingitis, adenitis: Undifferentiated periodic fever in a tertiary pediatric center

AIM To describe the frequency and clinical characteristics of patients with undifferentiated periodic fever(UPF) and to investigate whether a clinical classification of UPF based on the PRINTO-Eurofever score can help predicting the response to treatment and the outcome at follow-up.METHODS Clinical and therapeutic information of patients with recurrent fever who presented at a single pediatric rheumatology center from January 2006 through April 2016 were retrospectively collected. Patients with a clinical suspicion of hereditary periodic fever(HPF) syndrome and patients with clinical picture of periodic fever, aphthae, pharingitis, adenitis(PFAPA) who were refractory to tonsillectomy underwent molecular analysis of five HPF-related genes: MEFV(NM_000243.2), MVK(NM_000431.3), TNFRSF1 A(NM_001065.3), NLRP3(NM_001079821.2), NLRP12(NM_001277126.1). All patients who had a negative genetic result were defined as UPF and further investigated. PRINTO-Eurofever score for clinical diagnosis of HPF was calculated in all cases. RESULTS Of the 221 patients evaluated for periodic fever, twelve subjects with a clinical picture of PFAPA who were refractory to tonsillectomy and 22 subjects with a clinical suspicion of HPF underwent genetic analysis. Twenty-three patients(10.4%) resulted negative and were classified as UPF. The median age at presentation of patients with UPF was 9.5 mo(IQR 4-24). Patients with UPF had a higher frequency of aphthae(52.2% vs 0%, P = 0.0026) and musculoskeletal pain(65.2% vs 18.2%, P = 0.0255) than patients with genetic confirmed HPF. Also, patients with UPF had a higher frequency of aphthous stomatitis(52.2% vs 10.7%, P < 0.0001), musculoskeletal pain(65.2% vs 8,0%, P < 0.0001), and abdominal pain(52.2% vs 4.8%, P < 0.0001) and a lower frequency of pharyngitis(56.6% vs 81.3%, P = 0.0127) compared with typical PFAPA in the same cohort. Twenty-one of 23 patients with UPF(91.3%) received steroids, being effective in 16; 13(56.2%) were given colchicine, which was effective in 6. Symptoms resolution occurred in 2 patients with UPF at last follow-up. Classification according to the PRINTOEurofever score did not correlate with treatment response and prognosis. CONCLUSION UPF is not a rare diagnosis among patients with periodic fever. Clinical presentation place UPF half way on a clinical spectrum between PFAPA and HPF. The PRINTOEurofever score is not useful to predict clinical outcome and treatment response in these patients.

More Benefits of Oral Administration of Arsenic-containing Qinghuang Powder Compared with Decitabine for High/Very-high Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome

OBJECTIVE: To evaluated the benefits of oral administration of arsenic-containing Qinghuang Powder(QHP)compared with decitabine for patients with high/very-high(H/VH) risk myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS) according to the Revised International Prognostic Score System. METHODS: The OS(mOS) rate, annual OS rate and progression to acute myeloid leukemia(AML) in patients with H/VH MDS treated with QHP(QHP group, n = 27) and decitabine(decitabine group, n = 20) were retrospectively analyzed. The effects of prognostic factors of age, proportion of bone marrow blast,peripheral blood cell count, karyotype and Charlson Comorbidity Index(CCI) on OS were further analyzed. RESULTS: The m OS rate of QHP group(29 months) was signi?cantly longer than that of the decitabine group(18 months)(P = 0.043). The OS rates of 1, 2, and 3 years were signi?cantly higher in the QHP group(88.9%, 59.3%, 29.6%) than that in the decitabine group(70%, 25%, and 5%)(P = 0.01). There was no signi?cant difference of 5-year OS rate between the 2 groups(P = 0.133).The effects of prognostic factors on mOS were further analyzed, and it was found that there was no signi?cant difference of m OS rate between the QHP group(29 months) and the decitabine group(21 months) in the patients with age 65 years old(P = 0.673). The mOS rate was signi?cantly longer in QHP group(28.5 months) than that in decitabine group(18 months) in the patients with age of < 65 years old(P = 0.04). The proportions of bone marrow blast cells with 10% or < 10% had no signi?cant effects on the mOS rate of patients in the 2 groups(P = 0.429, P = 0.183). In patients with HGB 80 g/L, mOS rate was signi?cantly longer in the QHP group(57 months) than that in the decitabine group(21 months)(P = 0.047), while in patients with HGB < 80 g/L, there was no signi?cant difference of mOS rate between the 2 groups(P = 0.265). In the patients with PLT < 50×10~9/L, the mOS rate was signi?cantly longer in the QHP group(33 months) than that in the decitabine group(16 months)(P = 0.028). In the patients with PLT 50×10~9/L, there was no signi?cant difference of the mOS rate between the 2 groups(P = 0.338). In the patients with ANC < 0.8×10~9/L, the mOS rate was signi?cantly longer in the QHP group(20 months) than that in the decitabine group(7 months)(P = 0.014). In the patients with normal karyotype, the mOS was signi?cantly longer in the QHP group(32 months) than that in the decitabine group(15 months)(P = 0.009). In the patients with abnormal karyotypes, there was no significant difference of the mOS rate between the 2 groups(P = 0.882). In the patients with good karyotypes, the mOS rate was signi?cantly longer in the QHP group(37 months) than that in the decitabine group(20 months)(P = 0.019). In the patients with moderate/poor/very poor karyotype, there was no signi?cant difference of the mOS rate between the 2 groups(P = 0.685). In the patients with CCI 3, the mOS rate was signi?cantly longer in the QHP group(34 months) than that in the decitabine group(10.5 months)(P = 0.017). In patients with CCI < 3, there was no signi?cant difference of the mOS rate between the 2 groups(P = 0.581). The proportion of progression to AML in the QHP group(18.8%) was signi?cantly lower than that in the decitabine group(25%)(P = 0.03). CONCLUSION: Compared with decitabine, oral administration of arsenic-containing Qinghuang Powder could help patients to survive longer and decrease incidence of progression to acute myeloid leukemia in the treatment of patients with high/very high MDS.

Correlation between circulating endothelial cell level and acute respiratory distress syndrome in postoperative patients

BACKGROUND Acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)is injury of alveolar epithelial cells and capillary endothelial cells caused by various factors,including endogenous and exogenous lung factors,leading to diffuse pulmonary interstitial and alveolar edema,and acute respiratory failure.ARDS involves alveolar epithelial cells and pulmonary interstitial capillary endothelial cells.Circulating endothelial cells(CECs)are the only marker that directly reflects vascular endothelial injury in vivo.There have been few studies on the correlation between peripheral blood CECs and ARDS at home and abroad.The lungs are the organs with the highest capillary density and the most endothelial cells,thus,it is speculated that when ARDS occurs,CECs are stimulated and damaged,and released into the circulatory system.AIM To explore the correlation between CEC level and severity of ARDS in patients postoperatively.METHODS Blood samples were collected from all patients on day 2(d2)and day 5(d5)after surgery.The control group comprised 32 healthy volunteers.Number of CECs was measured by flow cytometry,and operation time was recorded.Changes in various indexes of patients were monitored,and diagnosis of ARDS was determined based on ARDS Berlin definition.We comprised d2 CECs in different groups,correlation between operation time and d2 CECs,ARDS of different severity by d2 CECs,and predictive value of d2 CECs for ARDS in postoperative patients.RESULTS The number of d2 CECs in the ARDS group was significantly higher than that in the healthy control group(P<0.001).The number of d2 CECs in the ARDS group was significantly higher than that in the non-ARDS group(P<0.001).The number of d2 CECs in the non-ARDS group was significantly higher than that in the healthy control group(P<0.001).Operation time was positively correlated with number of CECs on d2(rs=0.302,P=0.001).The number of d2 CECs in the deceased group was significantly higher than that in the improved group(P<0.001).There was no significant difference in number of d2 CECs between patients with mild and moderate ARDS.The number of d2 CECs in patients with severe ARDS was significantly higher than that in patients with mild and moderate ARDS(P=0.041,P=0.037).There was no significant difference in number of d5 and d2 CECs in the non-ARDS group after admission to intensive care.The number of d5 CECs was higher than the number of d2 CECs in the ARDS improved group(P<0.001).The number of d5 CECs was higher than the number of d2 CECs in the ARDS deceased group(P=0.002).If the number of CECs was>1351/mL,sensitivity and specificity of predicting ARDS were 80.8%and 78.1%,respectively.CONCLUSION Changes in number of CECs might predict occurrence and adverse outcome of ARDS after surgery,and higher numbers of CECs indicate worse prognosis of ARDS.
