Paraquat is a common human toxicant and accounts for 20 deaths per million persons in the world. Paraquat usually cause multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, including liver, kidney, lung and heart dysfunction. Besides, pituitary insufficiency also occurs on those patients with paraquat poisoning, which leads to multiple endocrine gland dysfunction, involving adrenal gland, thyroid and sex gland. As a result, the investigators decide to initiate the clinical trial to find whether thyroid replacement therapy can furtherly reduce the mortality, and improve patients long-term prognosis.
Early life malnutrition is associated with later life health problems, Particularly Stunting, which is a height-for-age Z score less than -2 standard deviation of World Health Organization median.Underweight is weight-for-age Z score less than -2 standard deviation of World Health Organization median. Wasting is weight -for- height Z score less than -2 standard deviation of World Health Organization median.
Infant lead poisoning is the clinical expression of lead poisoning. This environmental disease, still present in France, is the only notifiable non-infectious disease. Its complications include, in the foreground, disorders of psychomotor development but also include in adults the attack of other systems. The fight against lead poisoning mainly involves the removal of lead sources. Several methods of eviction exist: a modification of the practices, a palliative rehabilitation, a definitive rehabilitation and a relocation. The effectiveness of each method is not documented. This study therefore aims to compare the effectiveness of these various measures to eliminate the risk of exposure to lead on blood lead. This study uses the methodology of a multicenter historical cohort. It will begin in the second quarter of 2017. The research centers will be child-environment consultations and mother-child PASS in Avignon, Manosque, Marseille, Nice and Toulon. The study will be offered to all children monitored in these centers since 2011. The inclusion criteria will include: age <18 years, at least one blood lead ≥ 50μg.L-1, residence declared in PACA and absence opposition. The retrospective data will be incorporated into the prospective monitoring. The necessary number is at least 165 cases of infantile lead poisoning (of which 33 per type of intervention). The primary endpoint will be the kinetics of quarterly venous blood lead. The smallest clinically significant difference in blood lead levels will be 50μg.L-1 between the different groups. Statistical analysis will use intra- and inter-individual variability analysis by compartmental modeling of the pharmacokinetics of blood lead. An interim analysis will be conducted in 2017 on the retrospective data to confirm the necessary staffing.
HeSAPP is a single-center, non-blinded, parallel-group randomized controlled trial studying the hemopurification strategy for acute paraquat(PQ) poisoned patients. The intervention to be investigated include hemodialysis (HD), hemoperfusion (HP), combined hemoperfusion-hemodialysis concurrent therapy (HP-HD) and conservative therapy. The object of the present trial is to investigate whether hemopurification therapy can reduce mortality compared with conservative therapy.
