6例“可能”与电子烟有关的肺损伤病例

A state investigation into vaping-related lung injury cases in Massachusetts has found that vape products used in six probable cases were purchased legally from dispensaries.

马萨诸塞州一项针对与电子烟有关的肺损伤病例的调查发现，在6个疑似病例中使用的电子烟产品都是从药房合法购买的。

All of the products contained THC, the primary psychoactive component of cannabis.

所有的产品都含有四氢大麻酚，大麻的主要精神活性成分。

None of the confirmed cases in the investigation involved products purchased from dispensaries.

在调查的确诊个案中，没有涉及从药房购买的产品。

Details from this investigation into vape products were released on Thursday and included 49 vaping-related lung injury cases total, 16 of which were "confirmed" and 33 of which were "probable."

周四公布了对电子烟产品的调查细节，其中包括49例与电子烟有关的肺部损伤病例，其中16例已被“确认”（肺部损伤），33例“可能”（为肺部损伤）。

The Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission said in an email Friday that it is reviewing the information and will use it for the commission's ongoing investigation into whether marijuana products manufactured by licensees in Massachusetts contain substances of concern.

麻萨诸塞州大麻管制委员会星期五在一封电子邮件中说，他们正在审查这些信息，并将把这些信息用于委员会正在进行的调查，调查内容是麻萨诸塞州被许可生产的大麻产品是否含有令人担忧的物质。

"Public health and safety remain paramount to the Commission," the statement said. "The agency continues to test samples from licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers and Marijuana Establishments to understand whether legal products contain vitamin E acetate or other contaminants of concern."

“公共卫生和安全仍然是委员会的首要任务，”声明说。“该机构继续检测从获得许可的医用大麻治疗中心和大麻场所采集的样本，以了解合法产品是否含有维生素E醋酸盐或其他令人担忧的污染物。”

There have been 2,291 cases of lung injury in the United States linked to vaping as of December 4, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Vaping-related lung injuries have been reported in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.

美国疾病控制与预防中心的数据显示，截至12月4日，美国已有2291起与电子烟有关的肺部损伤病例。所有50个州、哥伦比亚特区、波多黎各和美属维尔京群岛都报告了与电子烟有关的肺损伤。

In tracking these cases, the CDC has decided to include only cases that resulted in hospitalization. As a result, CDC removed 175 non-hospitalized cases from its previously reported national case counts. The last report, released on November 21, had recorded 2,290 cases of lung injury linked to vaping.

在追踪这些病例时，疾病预防控制中心决定只包括导致住院的病例。因此，美国疾病控制与预防中心从此前报告的全国病例中剔除了175例非住院病例。11月21日发布的上一份报告记录了2290例与电子烟有关的肺部损伤病例。

The CDC on Thursday also reported 48 confirmed deaths in 25 states and the District of Columbia.

美国疾病控制与预防中心星期四还报告说，在25个州和哥伦比亚特区有48人确认死亡。

While it appears that vitamin E acetate, a thickener used in some vaping products, is linked to the lung injury cases, the agency said it can't rule out other chemicals.

虽然一些电子烟产品中使用的增稠剂维生素E醋酸盐似乎与肺部损伤病例有关，但该机构表示，不能排除其他化学物质的可能。

"CDC recommends that people should not use THC-containing e-cigarette, or vaping, products, particularly from informal sources like friends, family, or in-person or online dealers," the agency said.

该机构表示:“疾控中心建议人们不要使用含有四氢大麻酚的电子烟或电子烟产品，尤其是来自朋友、家人、当面或在线经销商等非正式渠道的产品。”

"In addition, people should not add any substances to e-cigarette or vaping products that are not intended by the manufacturer, including products purchased through retail establishments."

“此外，市民亦不应向电子烟或电子烟产品加入任何非制造商有意制造的物质，包括透过零售场所购买的产品。”
