Objective To analyze outcome of pulmonary tuberculosis(TB) patients in different household in Shenzhen in 2008, and provide scientific basis for development of TB control strategy. Methods The data from monthly,quarterly,annual report as well as the TB report card and other related information were collected and analyzed. Results A total of 4 826 active pulmonary tuberculosis patients were found in 2008, in which 86.0% were mobile population;2 349 cases of new smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients were found;Mobile population cure rate of new smear positive(75.0%) was significantly lower than that of household population(P＜0.01). Mobile population moving out or loss rate of new smear positive(13.5%) was significantly higher than that of household population(P＜0.01). Conclusion Mobile population cure rate of new smear positive was lower and moving out or loss rate of new smear positive(13.5%) was higher. Mobile population TB control in Shenzhen was the key and difficult.

Objective To understand the situation of drug resistance( DR) and multi-drug resistance( MDRTB) tuberculosis in Shenzhen and provide scientific evidence for TB control in Shenzhen. Methods According to drug resistance TB guidelines issued by WHO/IUALD, all new smear positive cases and.new registered retreatment smear positive cases in 2005 and 2009 were included in the surveillance. A total of 1856 strains of mycobacterium tuberculosis were isolated and drug susceptibility test were performed with the proportional method. Results In 2005, the overall DR rate was 18. 3% , 17. 2% and 31. 3% for initial and acquired DR respectively, overall MDR rate was 4. 74% ,3.25% and 21.9% respectively for initial and acquired MDR. In 2009, the overall DR rate was 17.4% , 16% and 39. 3%for initial and acquired DR respectively,overall MDR rate was 3.8% ,3.02% and 16.4% respectively for initial and acquired MDR. In 2005,2009, the rates of acquired DR and acquired MDR were significantly higher than the rates of initial DR and initial MDR. Conclusion The incidence of TB drug resistance in Shenzhen was high and merits attention.

Objective To explore the effect of first-line anti-tuberculosis treatment on vitamin D level in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis,and to master the changes of vitamin D level in the course of treatment,so as to provide a scientific basis for tuberculosis and nutrition health education in Shenzhen.Methods A total of 100 patients diagnosed as smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis and receiving initial treatment in 2016 were enrolled and all the patients were treated with the standardized short-course chemotherapy regimens.The blood samples were extracted before treatment and at the ends of intensive and continuation phase.The 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25-(OH) D] concentrations were determined by chemiluminescence (CLIA) at each time point.The change of 25-(OH) D concentrations during anti-tuberculosis treatment was analyzed and the differences of vitamin D levels between different time points were identified.Results 79 (79.0％),94 (94.0％) and 96 (96.0％) patients were found vitamin D deficiency before treatment and at the end of the intensive and continuation phases respectively,which showed an upward trend (x2=15.543,P＜0.001) and the 25-(OH)D concentrations were (15.74±6.54) ng/ml,(12.56±5.15) ng/ml,(11.51±4.28) ng/ml,respectively.During the whole course of treatment,the 25-(OH) D concentration decreased by 26.9％ or (4.23 ± 6.75) ng/ml (t =6.257,P＜0.001),wherein it decreased (3.18 ± 5.24) ng/ml in intensive phase (t =6.069,P＜ 0.001) and (1.05±4.86) ng/ml in continuation phase (t =2.154,P =0.034).The former had a greater decreased value (t=2.836,P=0.006).There were 77 (77.0％) and 55 (55.0％) patients with 25-(OH)D concentration reduction in intensive and continuation phases respectively (x2 =9.680,P =0.003),of which 41 patients (41.0％) continued to decline.Conclusion Once anti-tuberculosis treatment is conducted,the vitamin D level will decrease rapidly in the intensive phase and continue decreasing throughout the course of treatment,which leads to a general lack of vitamin D in patients with primary pulmonary tuberculosis.First-line anti-tuberculosis drugs may be the main cause for vitamin D level reduction.Therefore,it is necessary for clinicians to strengthen vitamin D health education for each patient throughout the treatment period,especially for those at high risk of vitamin D deficiency who should be recommended adjuvant vitamin D supplementation therapy.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic value of early lactate in patients with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of patients with ECPR in the Emergency Medicine Department of The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from March 2015 to August 2021. The age, sex, etiology, initial rhythm, prognosis, blood lactate and pH of patients with ECPR were collected, and their difference between the deceased and survived patients was compared.Results:Totally 95 patients were enrolled, with an average age of 47 years; male accounted for 69.5%, and the survival rate was 29.5%. There was no significant difference in age and sex ratio between the deceased and survived patients. However, the deceased patients had a significant lower rate of shockable rhythms (31.3% vs. 60.8%), a higher level of lactate [16.4 (11.2, 19.1) vs. 9.2 (3.2, 15.0), mmol/L], and a lower pH [7.01 (6.88, 7.23) vs. 7.37 (7.10, 7.43)] than the survived patients. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis showed that shockable rhythm [odds ratio ( OR) = 0.295, 95% confidence interval ( CI): 0.118-0.739), lactate ( OR=1.159, 95% CI: 1.068-1.258) and pH ( OR= 0.017, 95% CI: 0.002-0.157) were independent risk factors for poor prognosis. Furthermore, a lactate level >24 mmol/L was the best threshold to predict mortality with a specificity of 100%. Combined application, the cutoff point was lactate level>16 mmol/L and pH <6.828. Conclusions:Shockable rhythm, higher early lactate and lower pH value are independent risk factors for prognosis in patients with ECPR. Early lactate > 24 mmol/L or lactate > 16 mmol/L companied with pH < 6.828 are novel indicators of the termination of ECPR.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of platelet dynamics on the prognosis of 28-day in patients with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).Methods:From January 2017 to December 2020, 60 patients from the Emergency Medicine Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University received ECMO for life support. The baseline data of the patients were collected, the minimum value of platelets on day 1-7 of the machine was calculated, and the platelet change value and change rate were calculated. The patients were divided into the survival group and death group according to the 28-day survival status after ECMO was installed, and the receiver operating curve (ROC) was drawn based on the platelet change value and change rate to evaluate its predictive value for prognosis.Results:Among patients receiving VV-ECMO, the platelet change value and change rate on day 7 had the best prediction effect on the patient's 28-day outcome ( AUCΔPLT7=0.772, P=0.016; AUCΔPLT7%=0.764, P=0.020), when the platelet change value was 4×10 9/L as the critical value, the sensitivity was 0.857, the specificity was 0.615, and when the platelet change rate was -28.99% as the critical value, the sensitivity was 0.857, the specificity was 0.615, and when the platelet change rate was -28.99%. The sensitivity was 0.643 with a specificity of 0.846. In patients receiving VA-ECMO, the platelet change rate on day 6 predicted the best effect on the patient's 28-day outcome ( AUCΔPLT6%= 0.707, P = 0.045). When the platelet change rate was -26.19% as the critical value, the sensitivity was 0.842 and the specificity was 0.643. Conclusions:Platelet dynamic changes of platelets are correlated with the 28-day prognosis of patients receiving ECMO, and the combination of platelet change value and the critical value of change rate can better predict the poor prognosis of patients in both ECMO modes.

Objective:To summarize the experience and effect of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in the treatment of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in adults.Methods:The data of 40 adults with OHCA-ECPR in Emergency Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from April 2015 to April 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were grouped by discharge survival/in-hospital death, with/without bystander resuscitation, and with/without interhospital transport. Age, sex, Charlson comorbidity index, initial rhythm, no-flow time, time from cardiac arrest to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) initiation (CA-Pump On time), ECMO evacuation success rate, survival rate, ECMO treatment time, time-to-death, and length of hospital stay were analyzed.Results:①Among the 40 patients with OHCA-ECPR, 9 patients (22.5%) survived upon discharge, 7 (77.8%) of whom had good neurological outcomes.②The no-flow time in the survival group was significantly shorter than that in the death group, and the proportion of shockable initial rhythm was higher.③Bystander resuscitation greatly shortened the no-flow time.④The regional OHCA-ECPR interhospital transport extended the CA-Pump On time, without affecting patients’ prognosis.Conclusions:ECPR improves the prognosis of patients with OHCA. Bystander resuscitation greatly shortens the no-flow time. ECPR is significantly effective in patients with short no-flow time and shockable initial rhythm. Regional interhospital transport ECPR is recommended to benefit more patients with OHCA.

Objective:To analyze the effectiveness and annual cost-effectiveness of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, ECPR) in adults.Methods:Totally 60 patients received ECPR from April 2015 to March 2020 in Emergency Medicine Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were grouped by discharge survival/hospital death and shockable/unshockable initial rhythm. Age, gender, initial rhythm, survival rate, ECMO treatment time, time-to-death, length of stay and hospitalization costs were analyzed. All discharged survivors were followed up for 1 year, then cost-effectiveness analysis was performed using total cost of ECPR as the cost and 1-year survival rate as the effect.Results:Fifty-four adult patients with ECPR were enrolled, and 17 (31.5%) patients survived and discharged, of whom 15 (88.2%) patients had good neurological outcomes and survived at 1-year follow-up. The median ECMO time was 5 ( IQR 1-8) d, time-to-death was 4 ( IQR 1-9) d, length of stay was 10 ( IQR 3-18) d, total hospitalization cost was 209 122 ( IQR 121 431-303 822) RMB, and the daily cost was 23 587 ( IQR 13 439-38 217) RMB. The rate of shockable initial rhythm was significantly higher in the discharge survival group than the hospital death group. The survival rate of ECPR patients with shockable initial rhythm was significantly higher than that of patients with unshockable initial rhythm, and there was no difference in cost. Conclusions:ECPR is a resource-intensive treatment with a total cost of about 200 000 RMB. Moreover, the effectiveness and annual cost-effectiveness are superior for patients with shockable initial rhythm.

Objective:To summarize the inter-hospital transport experience on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) led by a team from emergency department.Methods:The clinical data of 21 patients transferred under the support of ECMO between December 2016 and February 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were transferred to the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from other hospitals. Interhospital distance, transport methods, patient demorgraphic characteristics, disease diagnosis, intubation location, intubation method, adverse events during transport and transport outcome were retrieved.Results:Eighteen of the 21 patients were transferred under our mobile ECMO team from outer hospitals to our ECMO intensive care unit. Three patients were cannulated by physicians of outer hospital and transported to our ECMO intensive care unit. All patients were transported by ground ambulance, and the distances varied from 2.5 to 252 km, with an average distance of 112.3±103.2 km. No death occurred during transportation. Adverse events in transport occurred in 6 patients. Of these, the most common were patient-related adverse events..Conclusions:Inter-hospital transport by ECMO in China is currently dominated by ground ambulance.. Experienced mobile ECMO team can safely operate inter-hospital transport supported by ECMO
