RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Children are especially vulnerable to respiratory injury induced by exposure to air pollutants. In the present study, we investigate periods of up to 7 days, and evaluate the lagged effects of exposure to air pollutants on the daily number of children and adolescents visiting the emergency room (ER) for the treatment of lower respiratory obstructive diseases (LROD), in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. METHODS: Daily records of LROD-related ER visits by children and adolescents under the age of 19, from January 2000 to December 2007 (2,922 days) were included in the study. Time-series regression models (generalized linear Poisson) were used to control for short- and long-term trends, as well as for temperature and relative humidity. Third-degree polynomial lag models were used to estimate both lag structures and the cumulative effects of air pollutants. Effects of air pollutants were expressed as the percentage increase in LROD-related ER visits. RESULTS: We observed an acute effect at the same day of exposure to air pollutants; however, the cumulative effects of air pollutants on the number of LROD-related ER visits was almost threefold greater than the one observed at the same day of exposure to PM10 , SO2 , and NO2 mainly in children aged 5 years and under. The 7-day cumulative effect of SO2 reached 11.0% (95% CI: 5.0-16.7) increase in visits. Conclusion and Relevance: This study highlights the effects of intermediate-term exposure to air pollutants on LROD in children. Pediatr Pulmonol. 2017;52:205-212. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar os efeitos clínicos da indução com propofol em nanoemulsão e em emulsão lipídica em gatas, após repetidas administrações. Utilizaram-se 12 gatas, hígidas, SRD, com peso médio de 2,9±0,6kg, distribuídas aleatoriamente em dois grupos: NANO (n=6) e EMU (n=6), que receberam propofol em nanoemulsão na dose de 9,5mg kg-1 e em emulsão lipídica na dose de 10mg kg-1, respectivamente, ambos pela via intravenosa, durante cinco dias consecutivos. Hemograma e função renal e hepática foram realizados a cada 24 horas e até 168 horas após a primeira indução. Os parâmetros clínicos de frequência cardíaca (FC) e respiratória (f) e temperatura retal (TR) foram avaliados antes dos tratamentos e 5, 10, 20 e 30 minutos após a administração de propofol. Em relação aos valores basais, observou-se diminuição da FC no EMU até o 3° dia e da f e TR em ambos os grupos até o último dia, sem diferença entre os dias. As enzimas ALT e FA diminuíram após 24 a 96 horas e 48 a 144 horas, respectivamente, no grupo EMU. Os valores de eritrograma diminuíram até o quinto dia em ambos os grupos. Os tempos para hipnose, extubação e para decúbito esternal não diferiram entre grupos e entre os dias. O tempo para recuperação total do grupo EMU foi maior no 4° e 5° dias em relação ao 1°. Conclui-se que a indução com propofol é segura e que o propofol em emulsão lipídica apresenta maior efeito cumulativo após repetidas administrações em gatas.
The aim this study was to compare the clinical effects of induction with propofol in lipid emulsion and nanoemulsion in cats after repeated administrations. Twelve healthy mongrel cats, with an average weight of 2.9±0.6kg, were randomly distributed into two groups: NANO (n=6) and EMU (n=6), who received propofol in nanoemulsion at dose of 9.5mg kg-1 and in lipid emulsion at a dose of 10mg kg-1, respectively, both intravenously for five consecutive days. Blood count and kidney and liver function were performed every 24 hours until 168 hours after the first induction. The clinical parameters of heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR) and rectal temperature (RT) were evaluated before treatment and 5, 10, 20 and 30 minutes after administration of propofol. At baseline, there was a decrease in HR in the EMU until the 3rd day and RR and RT in both groups until the last day, with no difference between days. The enzymes ALT and ALP decreased after 24 to 96 hours and 48 to 144 hours, respectively in EMU group. The values of blood count decreased until the fifth day in both groups. The times of hypnosis, extubation and sternal recumbency did not differ between groups and between days. The total recovery time of EMU group was higher in the 4th and 5th day in relation to the 1st. Concludes that the induction with propofol is safe and that propofol in lipid emulsion has a higher cumulative effect after repeated administration in cats.
