Objective To explore the clinical and biological characteristics and treatment effect of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in elderly patients. Methods The clinical data of 62 patients over 60 years old with AML were retrospectively analyzed, and they were compared with those of 60 younger adult patients (18-59 years old) at the same period. Results In elderly patients, the complete remission (CR) rate was 27. 7% and the overall effective rate was 44.7%, which were lower than those of younger adult patients (74.1% and 87.9 %, 1-espectively, P＜0.01). The early death rate was 19.0% and the mortality rate during the first two induction chemotherapy was 29. 3% in the elderly, which were higher than those of younger adult patients (3. 3% and 6.7%, 1-espectively,P＜0.01). The 27.4% of elderly patients were diagnosed as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)-transformed AML, which were more than that of younger adult patients (10.0%, P＜0.05), and they had lower CR rate than those without MDS (P＜0. 05). The 28.2% of elderly patients had lymphoid antigen positive AML and 71.8% of patients showed CD34+ which were higher than those of younger adult patients (8. 1% and 48.6%, respectively, P＜0. 05), and they had lower CR rate than those of lymphoid antigen negative and those of CD34- AML (P＜0. 05). Elderly patients had less favorable and more unfavorable karyotypes than younger adult patients (45.7 % and 15.4 %, P＜0. 05). Conclusions The elderly patients with AML have more unfavorable prognostic factors than younger adult patients. They have lower CR rate and higher mortality rate. There are many specialties in elderly patients and the treatment strategy should be made more individually.

Objective To study the clinical curative effect of syndrome differentiation-based treatment with traditional Chinese medicine on patient with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD3-4). Method According to prospective multicenter randomized controlled study which was applied to the patients with CKD3-4 , the total of 339 patients were divided into two groups. To one group as standard including 167 patients ,the other including 172 patients. Chinese Traditional Patent Medicine single or combined-prescription oral treatment according to syndrome differentiation-based treatment was employed. To the other group as reference , Chinese Traditional Patent Medicine oral treatment according to experienced rule was applied. The clinical curative effect results were obtained after a 24 weeks-treatment. Result The Scr ,eGFR and UTP with CKD3 in standard group illustrate statistics significance (P<0.05). On the opposite, those of the reference group remain insignificance (P > 0.05). The clinical curative effect result of patient in standard group was better than that of reference group. About the clinical curative effect of CKD4, no statistics significance difference (P > 0.05) could be found between groups or between patients in one group. The TCM score of patient with CKD3-4 in standard group have improved (P < 0.05) according to baseline. However, that of reference group did not show any statistics significance (P > 0.05). Conclusion Syndrome differentiation-based treatment with traditional Chinese medicine illustrated a better result in protection of renal function, reduction in urinary protein and decline in TCM score than the treatment according to experienced rule.

Objective: To understand the characteristics and causes of pesticide poisoning in Xuzhou city, and provide basis for formulating prevention and control measures. Methods: The cases of pesticide poisoning in Xuzhou City from 2005 to 2017 were collected from "Pesticide Poisoning Report Card" . The data were analyzed and assessed by EpiData. The SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results: During the thirteen years, there were a total of 8092 cases of pesticide poisoning, among which, the number of occupational pesticide poisoning was 1 408, accounting for 17.4% of the total number of cases, 14 patients died, the case fatality rate was 0.1%. There were 2, 992 cases of male poisoning, accounting for 36.97% of the total number of cases, and 5, 100 cases of female poisoning, accounting for 63.03%. There were 6684 non-productive pesticide poisonings, accounting for 82.6% of the total number of cases; 387 deaths occurred, and the mortality rate was 5.8%. Among non-productive poisonings, the incidence of oral pesticide poisoning was 84.3%, and the incidence of accidental poisoning by pesticides was 15.7%. Organophosphorus pesticides poisoning cases accounted for the majority of oral pesticide poisoning cases. The overall incidence of pesticide poisoning showed a downward trend. The age of non-productive pesticide poisoning cases was mainly 15-44 years old, and the number of cases of poisoning were 4 029 cases (60.28%) . With the increase of age, the mortality rate of poisoning cases was higher, especially for those over 60 years old who died of oral pesticide poisoning (40.1%) . The peak of pesticide poisoning began to increase in the second quarter and reached its peak in the third quarter. Conclusion Although the cases of pesticide poisoning reported in Xuzhou City have been declining in recent years, the situation is still severe. The proportion of oral pesticide suicide accounts for a large proportion, and the mortality rate of elderly and female is relatively high, and the government should pay more attention. Workers should conduct safety education and psychological counseling to improve the knowledge and consciousness of safe use of pesticides.
