PurposePulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in the patients with AIDS often manifest as an atypical clinical manifestations, less positive rate in lab and various imaging features. This paper aims to compare the clinical and imaging manifestations of PTB in patients with AIDS and in patients with normal immunity may help us to improve the understanding of PTB in AIDS.Materials and MethodsThe clinical manifestations, the lab results and chest imaging data of 142 conifrmed PTB in patients with AIDS (observation group) and 150 conifrmed PTB in patients with normal immunity (control group) were retrospectively analyzed, the imaging review included the site, shape, density, property and the enhancement patterns of the enlarged lymph node in mediastinum and the status of pleura.ResultsThe incidences of fever, dyspnea, asthenia, anorexia, loss of weight, diarrhea, blurred vision, urinary irritation, oral leukoplakia, pruritus, rash, other pulmonary infections and extrapulmonary tuberculosis in observation group were signiifcantly higher than those in control group (χ2=4.173-68.542,P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.001). The positive rates of tuberculosis in cough, hemoptysis, putum smear and sputum culture in observation group were signiifcantly lower than those in control group (χ2=30.376, 9.254 and 16.200, P<0.05). Imaging manifestations: observation group of type I, type II, type IV and type V patients were more than those in the control group (χ2=5.977, 8.621, 18.769 and 20.864, P<0.05). The lesions located at middle and lower lobes and involved more than three lobes in observation group than in control group at the same time (χ2=18.692 and 5.860,P<0.05, P<0.001), military nodules, enlarged lymph nodes in mediastinum and pleural effusion appeared more commonly in observation group than in control group (χ2=13.404, 34.704 and 19.469,P<0.001), while calcification, fibrosis and cavity were less in observation group compared to control group (χ2=6.539, 4.658 and 7.280,P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.001). ConclusionPTB should be considered when AIDS patients present multiple symptoms in whole body, with pulmonary lesions located at middle and lower lobes & involved more than three lobes, military nodules, mediastinal enlarged lymph nodes and pleural effusion.

Objective To explore the effect of the prevention and treatment of unstable bladder after suprapubic prostaectomy by capsaicin instilled into the bladder preoperatively combined with patient-controlled epidural analgesia(PCEA)for benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH).Methods Sixty patients with BPH underwent suprapubic prostatectomy under epidural anesthesia were randomly divided into control group (30 cases)and treatment group(30 cases),100 ml of 100 μmol/L capsaicin was instilled into the bladder preoperatively for 30 minutes combined with PCEA after operation in treatment group,the control group was only given PCEA.Observed the incidence and continuous time of unstable bladder after operation in two groups.Results Unstable bladder was found in 3 cases of treatment group and they were Ⅰdegree,12 cases happened unstable bladder in control group,3 cases Ⅰdegree,5 cases Ⅱdegree,3 cases Ⅲ degree,1 case Ⅳ degree.There was obvious significance between two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Capsaicin instilled into the bladder combined with PCEA can cut off the reflex arc of detrusor contraction more completely and has obvious effect of decrease the incidence of unstable bladder after suprapubic prostatectomy and can be used widely.

Objective To evaluate the effect of double filtration plasmapheresis(DFPP)on patients with hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis(HL-AP).Methods The clinical data of the patients with hyperlipidemic severe acute pancreatitis(HL-SAP)or moderately severe acute pancreatitis(HL-MSAP)from January 2019 to May 2022 were collected.The patients were divided into two groups,the control group received conventional treatment,DFPP group received DFPP treatment on the basis of conventional treatment.Results Compared with the control group,the following parameters changed significantly in DFPP group,triglyceride(TG),alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and aspartate aminotransferase(AST)decreased on day 1 and 2,estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)increased on day 1,2,3 and 5,leukocyte and neutrophil counts decreased on day 1 and 2,hemoglobin(HGB)decreased on day 1,2,and 3,C-reactive protein(CRP)decreased on day 1,2,3,5,and 7.And the patients in DFPP group receiving mechanical ventilation decreased compared with that in control group.Conclusion Compared with conventional treatment,DFPP can reduce plasma TG faster,improve lung,liver and kidney function,reduce inflammatory markers,and facilitate early fluid recovery.
