Objective To evaluate the efficacy of inspiring carbogen and low concentration oxygen combined with late coupe accelerated hyperfraction radiotherapy on esophageal carcinoma.Methods 74 patients with esophageal carcinoma were randomly divided into two groups:the trial group and the centrol group,which consisted of 37 patients respectively.6MV X-ray was employed in the two groups.The schedule of the trial group was as following:conventional radiotherapy of 1.8～2.0Gy per day was employed during the first phase to a total dose of 38～40Gy,followed by late course accelerated hyperfraetion radiotherapy(twice fractions per day,interval between two fractions more than 6 hours,1.3～1.4Gy per fraction,middle total dose of 64.2Gy).Carbogen and low concentraetion oxygen was inspired during the course of radiation.Results 71 patients were enrolled.At the end of radiation at a total dose of 38～40Gy,complete remission rate(CRR)in the trial group was 31%,whereas that in the control group was 19%(P＞0.05),when the whole radiotherapy was finished,the CRR was 57%and 31%(P＜0.05)respectively,and one month after radiotherapy.the CRR was 71%and 33%respectively(P＜0.01).Six months after radiotherapy,the CRR WaLa 74%and 36%respectively(P＜0.01).Thelocal controlrate of sixmonthswas 91% and 72% respectively in the two groups(P＜0.05).Conclusions Inspiring carbogen and low concentration oxygen combined with late course accelerated hyperfraction radiotherapy may sigllificantly improve short-term efficacy and local control rate in esophageal carcinoma patients in Ⅰ～Ⅲstage.Furthermore,its side effects can be tolerated,and its elongating life time of patients may be prognostic.

ObjectiveTo screen out the two-component system associated with drug resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by detecting the differential expression of two-component system regulator genes between multidrug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains and drug sensitive strains. MethodsTotal RNA of MTB was extracted from cultured MTB during the logarithmic phase in the 7H9 brook medium, and then its purity was identified. Reverse transcription was further completed. The expressing levels of TCS response regulators were quantified using SYBR Green I qRT-PCR, which aimed at finding the differential expressions between multidrug resistant strains and sensitive strains. Finally, all of differentially expressed TCS were screened out under the stress of INH, SM and LFA. Results Compared with sensitive strains,multidrug resistant strains of Rv0491, Rv3133c, Rv3143 and Rv3246c were up-regulated 1. 03, 7.11,3.48and 1.37 folds, respectively (t/t' =5. 623, -4. 196, -3. 559 and -3. 016, respectively, P ＜0. 01 ). The expressing level of other regulators had no statistical significance between muhidrug resistant strains and drug sensitive strains. Under the antibiotic pressure, the expression of Rv1027c, Rv3246c and Rv3143 showed significant changes compared with no antibiotic group. ConclusionRv3246c and Rv3143 may be associated with MTB drug resistance and the differentially expressed genes in multi-drug resistant strains may be used as potential drug targets against drug resistant tuberculosis.

Objective To study the characteristics of antimicrobial resistance and molecular epidemiology of Staphylococcus aureus (S .aureus)in the intensive care units(ICUs)of a hospital.Methods Clinical isolates of S .aureus collected from ICUs between January and December 2014 were identified and performed antimicrobial susceptibility testing,then typed by staphylococcal protein A (spa)typing and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) methods.Results Of 160 isolates of S .aureus ,120 (75.00%)were methicillin-resistant S .aureus (MRSA). Resistance rates of MRSA to erythromycin,clindamycin,and levofloxacin were all > 80%;methicillin-sensitive S .aureus (MSSA)were sensitive to cefazolin,resistance rates to erythromycin,clindamycin,and levofloxacin were 62.50%,35.00%,and 10.00% respectively.spa typing and MLST results showed that the main types of 120 isolates of MRSA were ST239-t030,ST239-t037,and ST5-t2460,the major epidemic strains were ST239-t030 (n=105,87.50%),and were isolated from 8 ICUs;MSSA had more types,ST59-t437 were detected only from depart-ment of neurology(n =8)and department of digestive diseases(n =2),ST6-t701 ,ST398-t3625,ST398-t1793,and ST121-t2092 were isolated from departments of neurology(n=7),anesthesiology(n=5),neurosurgery(n=4),and cardiac surgery(n=4)respectively.Conclusion Isolation rate of MRSA in ICUs in this hospital is high,ST239-t030 is the main type,which prevailed in hospital;different types of MSSA have epidemic trends in various departments.

Objective:The result of influenza etiology surveillance in Chuxiong prefecture were analyzed to master the epidemic characteristics of influenza virus and provide scientific basis for influenza prevention and control.Methods:Real-time PCR assay and MDCK cell culture method were used to detect and separate influenza virus nucleic acids from influenza-like cases (ILI) and suspected influenza cases from 2017 to 2022 come from the sentinel hospitals.Results:From 2017 to 2022, a total of 7 302 cases of ILI and 1 079 cases were detected positive, with a positive rate of 14.78%. The positive rate in the six years was 14.71%、15.44%、20.11%、5.04%、10.90% and 21.08%, and the positive rate in 2020 was the lowest. Among them, the positive rate of influenza A was higher than that of influenza B, and higher in spring and winter than in summer and autumn., One H9N2 human infected with avian influenza virus was detected positive.The outbreak cases were mainly influenza B, followed by influenza A H3N2, and students were susceptible to it. The proportion of influenza-like cases in the 0~5 year old group was the highest (64.16%), and the protortion in 60~year old group was the lowest (0.05%).Conclusions:From 2017 to 2022, influenza A was predominant in Chuxiong prefecture, with high prevalence in winter and spring. The influenza strains presented diversity and each strain circulated alternately. The implementation of COVID-19 prevention and control measures can effectively reduce the infection rate of influenza virus .In addition, there are human cases of avian influenza infection in Chuxiong prefecture. So the surveillance of influenza-like cases should be strengthened an improved, and to expand the monitoring of human and avian influenza.

By summarizing the biological formation and component function of Mycobacterium tuberculosis extracellular vesicles, this manuscript discusses the potential usage of Mycobacterium tuberculosis extracellular vesicles in diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of tuberculosis. It is concluded that both Mycobacterium tuberculosis membrane vesicles and exosomes secreted by the host contain the components of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to participate in immune regulation, and play different roles in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of tuberculosis. Mycobacterium tuberculosis extracellular vesicles contain abundant biomarkers and have natural immunogenicity, which are expected to become new targets for diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of tuberculosis.
