“…These abnormalities may indicate that pneumonia is beneficial to the damage of the vascular mucosal endothelial layer and the exposure of thrombus collagen under the endothelium, which directly activates the platelets and prothrombin oxidase in the lungs of the children and leads to a hypercoagulable state. The results of clinical studies such as Lin Chunwang [ 24 ] showed that there is a hypercoagulable state in the lungs of children with severe pneumonia and causes the formation of acute microthrombosis in the lungs, D-deoxydimer (D-Dimor, dd) increased significantly, and the activity of AT-III decreased significantly. The activation time of thrombin kinase (TT) and the activation time of thrombin prokinase (APTT) in some children were significantly shorter than those in the normal infection control group, and the intra-arterial thrombin oxidase saturation (SaO 2 ) was significantly reduced.…”

Pediatric severe pneumonia clinical is a conceptual term for the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric clinical diseases. At present, domestic and foreign standards for clinical diagnosis of severe pneumonia, which is a childhood disease, are still inconsistent. At present, the first book of the main pediatric medical textbook in the society interprets the clinical definition of severe pneumonia in children as follows: severe pneumonia refers to pulmonary function in heart failure or other comorbidities in other important organs except the lung. This article is based on X-ray medical film and television examinations, through the analysis of arterial and venous blood gas in children with severe pneumonia to play a certain role in adjuvant therapy for children with pneumonia. Prospective clinical studies have found significant changes in the function of auxiliary coagulation and blood fibrinolysis indicators in patients with severe pneumonia in late childhood. The obvious difference between the pretreatment and the late-stage treatment for 1 week and the direct influence on the blood gas quantitative analysis and liver function of advanced patients provide a scientific basis for the diagnosis of typical advanced childhood severe pneumonia patients with adjuvant anticoagulant therapy. The data analysis of the clinical laboratory found that the blood coagulation and fibrinolysis functions of the typical patients with severe pneumonia in the typical late stage of childhood were significantly activated, and the anticoagulant antibody substances were significantly reduced, fibrinolytic coagulation inhibitors and anticoagulants are significantly increased, fibrinolytic activators are significantly reduced, and the body is in a procoagulant state for a long time. Adjuvant anticoagulation therapy through quantitative analysis of blood gas in patients can not only effectively increase the success rate of early treatment of typical late-stage severe pneumonia in children by 64.28% but also significantly reduce the inflammatory coagulation indexes of patients with late-stage severe pneumonia in children. The functions of coagulation, anticoagulation, and coagulation fibrinolysis have been significantly restored. The advantages of X-ray-based adjuvant treatment of severe pneumonia in children with arteriovenous blood gas are good contrast, clear imaging, and clear development of fine lesions or thick parts, and objective records are kept for comparison during review and consultation and discussion. The disadvantage is that the operation is more complicated, and it is not convenient to observe the activity function of the organ.

“…We used information from (N)SASSy, which is useful for teachers and the persons concerned, such as officers at public health centers and local governments, to prevent the spread of infectious diseases [14][15][16]. Demonstrably, (N)SASSy is useful as a form of syndromic surveillance in Japan.…”

Background and objective: In Japan, routine administration of two-dose immunization for varicella to one-year-old children was introduced in October, 2014. The objective of this study was measurement of the effectiveness of routine two-dose immunization for varicella to onset and assessment of severity in a nursery school setting. Method: The study period extended from the beginning of April, 2017 through March, 2018. The study area was Nursery school B in a city A. Subjects were 120 children in all. We analyzed vaccine efficacy (VE) as an observational study and assessed severity using Fisher exact test. We also assessed VE for severity using linear regression. Severity was defined as the length of school absence attributable to varicella infection. Results: For one dose or more, VE was 48.1% for all ages and 49.2% among children three years old and older. No significant VE was found. Vaccination using one dose or more can reduce severity significantly. Discussion and conclusion: Low VE was found in a nursery school setting, although results were not significant. VE for severity was confirmed, but a second dose might not reduce severity.

“…For example, Nursery School Absenteeism Surveillance System ((N)SASSy) has been monitoring the health situation, diagnosed diseases or symptoms, of more than five million students or nursery school kids every day. It is a computerized system comprising a network of information shared among concerned organizations and individuals [10][11][12]. We can therefore use (N)SASSy as a form of syndromic surveillance in Japan.…”

Object The COVID-19 outbreak emerged in late 2019 in China, expanding rapidly thereafter. Even in Japan, epidemiological linkage of transmission was probably lost already by February 18, 2020. From that time, it has been necessary to detect clusters using syndromic surveillance. Method We identified common symptoms of COVID-19 as fever and respiratory symptoms. Therefore, we constructed a model to predict the number of patients with antipyretic analgesics (AP) and multi-ingredient cold medications (MIC) controlling well-known pediatric infectious diseases including influenza or RS virus infection. To do so, we used the National Official Sentinel Surveillance for Infectious Diseases (NOSSID), even though NOSSID data are weekly data with 10 day delays, on average. The probability of a cluster with unknown febrile disease with respiratory symptoms is a product of the probabilities of aberrations in AP and MIC, which is defined as one minus the probability of the number of patients prescribed a certain type of drug in PS compared to the number predicted using a model. This analysis was conducted prospectively in 2020 using data from October 1, 2010 through 2019 by prefecture and by age-class. Results The probability of unknown febrile disease with respiratory symptom cluster was estimated as less than 60% in 2020. Discussion The most severe limitation of the present study is that the proposed model cannot be validated. A large outbreak of an unknown febrile disease with respiratory symptoms must be experienced, at which time, practitioners will have to wing it. We expect that no actual cluster of unknown febrile disease with respiratory symptoms will occur, but if it should occur, we hope to detect it.
