Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of uteroplasty aided with temporary balloon occlusion of abdominal aorta in treating pernicious placenta previa combined with placenta percreta.Methods Sixty-two third-trimester gravidas who were diagnosed as pernicious placenta previa combined with placenta percreta by prenatal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 1,2013 to May 31,2016 were enrolled in this study.All of them received cesarean section and then underwent uteroplasty following temporary balloon occlusion of abdominal aorta.Efficacy of that treatment was evaluated from the perspectives of blood loss,operation time,complications and postoperative recovery.All data were analyzed by descriptive analysis.Results All of the 62 cases were diagnosed with placenta percreta during operation including 10 cases (16.1％) with perimetrium invasion,46 cases (74.2％) with invasion to the muscular layer of bladder and six cases (9.7％) with bladder invasion.The average blood loss of all cases during and within 24 hours after operation was (1 377.3±605.2) ml and (140.6±66.3) ml,respectively.The average operation time was (72.3 ±24.5) min and the average length of postoperative hospital stay was (5.8± 1.6) d.The six cases of placenta percreta with bladder invasion received bladder repair.Sixty-one cases had their uterus preserved and the other one case had a sub-total hysterectomy due to amniotic fluid embolism.One woman developed phlebothrombosis in her lower limbs after operation.No intestinal or ureteral injury,puerperal infection,uterine ischemia necrosis or death was reported.In addition to three cases lost to follow-up,the other 59 patients were followed up to May 31,2017.Results of physical examination indicated that the 59 cases had normal uterine involution after operation.Menses returned in 58 of the 59 cases without any difference from before,and did not return in one case due to breastfeeding.Conclusion Uteroplasty aided with temporary balloon occlusion of abdominal aorta is a safe and effective uterus-preserving surgery for patients with pernicious placenta previa combined with placenta percreta.

Objective To investigate the malaria knowledge of CDC staff and their demands on related training in malaria non⁃endemic areas，so as to provide the reference for planning the appropriate curriculum. Methods All the participants who were the staff of county CDCs all over Qinghai Province and attended the provincial training workshop were surveyed. A self⁃administered questionnaire survey was carried out and the data was statistically analyzed. Results A total of 115 participants were involved in this survey. They were mostly（85.21%）from county CDCs. The general knowledge of malaria among the respondents was well，and the average rate of correct answers was 70.35%. However，the answers to the general knowledge of malaria and anti⁃malaria treatment were not well enough. The rates of correct answers were 61.96% and 48.99% respectively. The differences among the groups of job title ranking，department of working and level of CDC were not significant（F = 0.13-2.02，all P > 0.05）. The number of correct answers was significantly increased after the training course. The average score after the training was 79.20±15.16 while the pre⁃training score was 70.34±17.46（t = 3.86，P < 0.05），especially in the answers to general malaria knowledge and malaria surveillance and response（t = 4.30，4.97，both P < 0.05）. The general knowledge of malaria was considered as the most need of training as 80% of the respondents voted“Yes”，according to the demand analysis. There was no significant difference among the different groups（F = 0.61-3.11，both P > 0.05）. Conclusion The malaria knowledge is well mastered by the staff of CDCs in Qinghai Province，and the further training courses are requested and addressed in the target areas such as general malaria knowledge，anti⁃malaria treatment，malaria surveillance and response.

Objective To understand the internal circuit contamination of ventilator in mechanical ventilation patients, to evaluate the effect of ventilator internal circuit disinfection and the impact on the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Methods A total of 39 patients with mechanical ventilation admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Hangzhou Geriatric Hospital from January 2017 to June 2018 were enrolled. Routine mechanical ventilation treatments for patients included pipeline replacement, aseptic operation, prevention of infection, etc. After 2 weeks of mechanical ventilation, the internal circuit of the ventilator was disinfected using the internal circuit sterilizer of the ventilator. Microorganism sampling and detection at 3 cm to the exhalation port of the internal circuit of the ventilator was performed before and after disinfection. The number of colonies was < 5 cfu/cm2 and no pathogenic bacteria could be detected. During the observation period, if the patient was complicated by VAP for anti-infective treatment, the ventilator with internal loop disinfection was replaced after infection control, and was incorporated again into the group for observation. The number of microbial colonies in the internal circuit of the ventilator before and after disinfection, the microbiological test pass rate and the incidences of VAP during the 2 weeks were observed. Results All 39 patients were included in the analysis, with 23 male and 16 female; with age of 65-97 years old, average (78.7±7.6) years old. Before the disinfection, 9 604 strains were detected in the internal circuit of the ventilator, including 8 687 strains of Gram-negative bacilli (90.4%), 902 strains of Gram-positive cocci (9.4%), and 15 strains of fungi (0.2%), which were detected in the lower respiratory tract of the patients. The strain concordance rate was 41%. The qualified rate of microbial detection in the internal circuit of the ventilator was 5.1%; 13 cases (33.3%) of VAP occurred during 2 weeks of mechanical ventilation. After disinfection, 785 strains of pathogens were detected in the internal circuit of the ventilator, and the number of colonies was significantly reduced compared with that before disinfection [cfu/cm2: 0 (0, 20) vs. 150 (15, 500), P < 0.01], of which 688 strains of Gram-negative bacilli (87.7%), 92 strains of Gram-positive cocci (11.7%) and 5 strains of fungi (0.6%) were found; the qualified rate of microbial detection in the internal circuit of ventilator reached 71.8%, which was significantly higher than that before disinfection (P < 0.01); 2 weeks after mechanical ventilation the incidence of VAP decreased slightly during the period [20.5% (8/39) vs. 33.3% (13/39)], but there was no significant difference (P > 0.05). Conclusions The internal circuit of the ventilator can be used to detect the pathogen and the sputum culture of the patients on mechanical ventilation with a high consistency. The disinfection of the pathogen could significantly reduce the air pollution of the ventilator and reduce the occurrence of VAP in the patients.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the value of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) in the diagnosis of gouty arthritis.

METHODSSixty-one patients with gout, 30 with ankylosing spondylitis and 30 with rheumatoid arthritis were included in the study. DECT scans of the hands, wrists, elbows, feet, ankles, knees, lumbar, pelvis and sacroiliac joint were performed. For post-processing, a color-coding gout software protocol was used. The demographic data and blood uric acid levels were recorded. For 3 gout patients, the findings of puncture biopsy and DECT were compared. Ten gout patients with urate crystal deposition upon recruitment underwent DECT scans again after a 6-month urate-lowering therapy.

RESULTSThe positivity rates of DECT scan differed significantly among the patients with gout, ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis [98.4% (60/61), 13.3% (4/30), and 6.7% (2/30), respectively; χ² =95.522, P<0.05). Of the 21 patients with acute gouty arthritis, 20 (95.2%) showed positive DECT finding, and all the 40 patients with chronic gouty arthritis showed positive findings. In the patients with patients with gout, ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis, the positivity rates of hyperuricemia were 97.3% (36/37), 44.4% (4/9), and 28.6% (2/7), respectively (χ² =24.197, P<0.05). A total of 344 urate deposition sites were detected in the gout patients, involving most commonly the first metatarsophalangeal joint (22.1%), the middle and distal end of the first phalanges of the toes (19.8%), the calcaneus (17.4%), and the inferior extremity of the tibia (13.4%). Seventeen and 5 urate deposition sites were found in ankylosing spondylitis patients and rheumatoid arthritis patients, respecitvely. The 10 gout patients receiving a 6-month urate-lowering therapy showed decreased urate deposition on DECT scan.

CONCLUSIONSDECT scan can detect urate deposition to allow differentiation diagnosis and follow-up in gout patients.

Objective To investigate the immune status characteristics of primary ITP patients with abnor-mal auto-antibodies. Methods A total of 110 patients were enrolled in our study,who were admitted in Fu-Xing Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2001 to July 2015.According to whether the patients have autoimmune diseases and the presence of auto-antibodies,we divided the patients into 3 groups,including the primary ITP with abnormal auto-antibodies(PITP-ANA)group,the primary ITP(PITP)group and the second-ary ITP(SITP)group.We compared the T-cell subsets,regulatory T cells,B lymphocytes,changes of immunoglob-ulin and bone marrow biopsy and cytology of patients among the three groups,retrospectively. Results The per-centage of CD3+T cells(61.72 ± 10.60)% in PITP-ANA group was lower than that in PITP group(69.57 ± 11.99)%. The percentage of CD8+T lymphocyte(24.00 ± 7.67)% was significantly lower than that of PITP group (30.59 ± 11.08)%(P<0.05).The proportion of Treg in PITP group,PITP-ANA group and SITP group were(6.12 ± 1.41)%,(7.50 ± 2.76)% and(8.49 ± 2.47)%,respectively,with statistically significant differences.The ra-tio of CD19+T cell in PITP-ANA group(25.75 ± 9.98)%was significantly higher than that in PITP group(16.16 ± 8.19)%(P < 0.01). The concentration of IgG、IgA、κ light chain and λ light chain in PITP group,PITP-ANA group and SITP group showed an upward trend and the highest level was in the SITP group,with statistically signifi-cant differences among the three groups. A variety of abnormal auto-antibodies could be found in both PITP-ANA group and SITP group. Conclusions We consider that the immune function abnormity of patients in PITP-ANA group were worse than that in PITP group,because the concentration of immunoglobulin,the percentage of B lym-phocyte and Treg ratio are higher in than those in PITP group.
