Teen in Canada develops 'popcorn lung' symptoms加拿大的一名青少年出现了爆米花肺”症状A 17-year-old boy in Canada has been treated for a life-threatening popcorn lung-likeillness after vaping flavored e-liquids and THC.

加拿大一名17岁的男孩在吸食了加味电子烟和大麻中的主要精神活性成分四氢大麻酚后，患上了一种危及生命的爆米花肺部疾病。

A new report, published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal on Wednesday, details how this case of bronchiolitis appears distinct from other vaping-related lung injury cases identified in the United States because the case might have been vaping-related popcorn lung.

周三发表在 加拿大医学协会杂志　上的一份新报告详细介绍了细支气管炎病例与美国发现的其他与电子烟有关的肺损伤病例的区别，因为这些病例可能是电子烟有关的爆米花肺。

Popcorn lung, or bronchiolitis obliterans, is an inflammatory condition that affects the bronchioles, tiny airways in the lungs.

The name is in reference to former microwave-popcorn factory workers who developed bronchiolitis obliterans after breathing in vapor from butter flavoring added to the popcorn.

爆米花肺，或闭塞性细支气管炎，是一种炎症性疾病，影响细支气管，肺部的小气道。

这个名字来源于前微波炉爆米花工厂的工人，他们在吸入爆米花中添加的黄油味后患上了闭塞性细支气管炎。

"This patient had severe, acute bronchiolitis, possibly related to inhalational injury from vaping, with several features suggestive of subsequent early bronchiolitis obliterans," the medical team from Lawson Health Research Institute and University Health Network, who were involved in the patient's care, wrote in the new case report.

这名患者患有严重的急性细支气管炎，可能与蒸汽吸入性损伤有关，有几个特征提示随后出现了早期闭塞性细支气管炎，”参与患者护理的罗森卫生研究所和大学卫生网络的医疗小组在新病例报告中写道。

"This case of acute, life-threatening bronchiolitis resulting in fixed, chronic airflow obstruction in a previously healthy youth highlights the need for further research on the epidemiology of e-cigarette use, its addictive potential, and the short- and long-term risks and mechanisms of injury associated with vaping," they wrote.

他们写道:这名原本健康的年轻人患上了急性的、危及生命的细支气管炎，导致固定的、慢性的气流阻塞。

这一病例突出表明，有必要对电子烟使用的流行病学、电子烟的成瘾性、电子烟的短期和长期风险以及与电子烟相关的损伤机制进行进一步的研究。

”A case of possible 'popcorn lung'一例可能的爆米花肺”The patient developed a severe cough that caused him to seek medical attention, according to the report.

He said he worked at a fast-food restaurant and did not use alcohol or smoke cigarettes, but he vaped daily for the last five months.

据报道，这名患者出现严重咳嗽，导致他寻求医疗救助。

他说他在一家快餐店工作，不喝酒也不抽烟，但在过去的五个月里，他每天都吸电子烟。

As the patient's symptoms progressed, he eventually had trouble breathing, malaise and nausea.

He was admitted to a community hospital where physicians looked at his lungs in a radiograph and found concerning "diffuse micronodular opacities.

"随着病人症状的进展，他最终出现呼吸困难、全身乏力和恶心。

他住进了一家社区医院，那里的医生用x光片检查了他的肺部，发现他有弥漫性小结节性混浊”。

His symptoms persisted and he ended up being put on an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, or ECMO, machine that helped him breathe.

The patient was even transferred on ECMO to a lung transplant center for further evaluation.

Following that transfer, he received additional care, saw improvements in his health and then was discharged home after a total 47 days in the hospital.

他的症状一直持续着，最后不得不借助体外膜氧合(ECMO)设备来帮助呼吸。

患者甚至通过ECMO转到肺移植中心进行进一步评估。

在那次转移之后，他接受了额外的护理，他的健康状况有所改善，在医院住了47天后出院回家。

'Our own new generation of lung diseases'我们自己的新一代肺部疾病”The medical team notes in the report that the case may represent one specific way certain vaping behaviors could impact the lungs.

医疗小组在报告中指出，该病例可能代表了某些吸电子烟行为可能影响肺部的一种特定方式。

There have been separate reports that popcorn lung may be tied to certain vaping behaviors.

有单独的报道称爆米花肺可能与某些吸电子烟行为有关。
