Objective To analyze the trend of death level and the probability of premature death caused by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Jinshan District of Shanghai from 1980 to 2020, and to provide reference for the formulation of prevention and control measures of COPD. Methods The death cases of COPD in Jinshan District from 1980 to 2020 were collected through the death cause registration information system. The crude mortality, standardized mortality, age group mortality, early death probability and annual change percentage in different periods were calculated. Results From 1980 to 2020, the crude mortality of COPD in Jinshan District was 154.38/100 000, and the standardized mortality was 82.66/100,000. In the past 41 years, the standardized mortality of COPD showed a downward trend in males and females (APC=-1.79%, -2.52%, P<0.001). In the same period, the mortality of COPD in subjects aged 30-69 years old and subjects aged 70 years old and above also decreased (APC=-8.79%, -4.79%, P<0.001), and the probability of premature death caused by COPD showed a downward trend in males and females (APC=-9.61%, -10.71%, P<0.001). Conclusion The mortality rate and the probability of premature death of COPD in Jinshan District have decreased in the past 41 years. However, COPD is still one of the major chronic diseases that pose a serious threat to the health of residents in Jinshan District. Comprehensive prevention and treatment measures should be taken to reduce the mortality and the probability of premature death of COPD.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between helicobacter pylori ( Hp) infection and proliferation as well as invasion of Uygur esophagus squamous cell carcinoma.Methods: Immunohistochemistry were used to detect Hp , Ki67 and MMP2 protein in 164 cases of Xinjiang Uygur esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tissue specimens.Results: The positive rates of Hp,Ki67 and MMP2 were 81.7%(134/164),67.1%(110/54) and 86.6%(142/164) respectively in 164 cases of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.The expression of Ki67 in the Hp positive group of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were significantly higher than that in the Hp negative group and had positive correlation between them (rs=0.340,P<0.01),the expression of MMP2 in the Hp positive group were significantly higher than that in the Hp negative group and had positive correlation between them ( rs=0.739,P<0.01).Conclusion:The relationship between Xinjiang Uygur esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients with Hp infection and cancer cell malignant degree of proliferation and invasion is close.

ObjectiveTo compare the efficacy and side-effects in locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated by intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and two-dimensional conventional radiotherapy (2DCRT).MethodsAmong the 292 newly diagnosed,nonmetastatic recurrent NPC,211were treated with IMRT and 81 with 2DCRT.All patients were staged according to the seventh edition of the UICC 2009 staging system.Kaplan-Meier and Logrank methods were used for survival analysis.A Cox proportional hazard model was used to examine prognostic factors.ResultsThe follow-up rate was 91.8％,there are 38 patients in 2DCRT and 106 patients in IMRT group was followed more than 3 years.There were significant differences in the 3-year actuarial overall survival (OS) rate ( 36.9％ and 51.3％,x2 =8.44,P =0.004) and local progression-free survival (LRFS) rate (63.3％ and 86.0％,x2 =13.83,P =0.000),and no significant differences in actuarial distant metastasis free survival rates (79.0％ and 83.5％,x2 =0.25,P=0.618 ) between the 2DCRT group and the IMRT group.Multivariate analysis showed that T category and IMRT ( yes vs.no) were the independently prognostic factors for OS and LRFS ( x2 =9.51,5.20,P =0.002,0.023 and x2 =4.84,9.24,P =0.027,0.002 ).The incidence of grade 3and4 trismus and radiation-induced encephalopathy were 19.9％,8.1％ for the IMRT group and 43.2％,24.7％ for the 2DCRT group ( x2 =16.37,P =0.000 and x2 =14.64,P =0.000).Whereas,severe mucosa necrosis and/or massive hemorrhage in the nasopharynx was observed in IMRT group which was not common in 2DCRT (33.2％∶7.4％,x2 =20.19,P=0.000).ConclusionsHigher local tumor control and overall survival were achieved by IMRT than 2DCRT,the incidence of severe trismus and radiation-induced encephalopathy was also reduced by IMRT,in cost of a higher incidence of mucosa necrosis and/or massive hemorrhage in the nasopharynx.

BACKGROUND:In perioperative period of total knee replacement in elderly patients, it is crucial to maintain the normal function of blood coagulation. However, many factors may influence coagulation function of patients in perioperative period. Of them, anesthesia is an important factor. Different anesthesia methods wil produce different effects on blood coagulation. Appropriate anesthesia methods should be selected in the clinic to maintain the stability of coagulation function. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of application of general anesthesia and epidural anesthesia in elderly knee replacement and the effects on the function of blood coagulation. METHODS:A retrospective analysis was performed on clinical data of 135 elderly patients after total knee replacement in Dongying Hospital of Shandong Provincial Hospital Group from September 2012 to September 2013. Al patients were divided into control group (67 cases;general anesthesia) and observation group (68 cases;epidural anesthesia) according to the mode of anesthesia. Coagulation indexes and D-dimer levels were observed before anesthesia, 6 hours after anesthesia, and 1 day after replacement in both groups. The incidence of deep venous thrombosis was measured and compared between the two groups in 12-month fol ow-up.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Through the statistics and comparison, no significant difference was detected in blood coagulation indexes at different time points in the two groups (al P>0.05). However, significant differences in D-dimer levels were detectable between the two groups at 6 hours after anesthesia and in the morning at 1 day after replacement. D-dimer levels were significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (al P<0.05). The incidences of deep venous thrombosis were 3%and 21%in the observation and control groups, respectively, showing significant differences (P<0.05). These results suggest that epidural anesthesia during elderly totak knee replacement obtained good effects, and could maintain stable coagulation function.

0bjective To evaluate the application of whole body MR diffusion weighted imaging (DWI)in the detection of bone metastasis using skeletal scintigraphy as the referenee.Methods Fonv.two healthy volunteers and 38 patients with malignant tumors were enrolled in our studv.A11 the patients received MR examination and skeletal scintigraphy within one week.MR examination was performed on GE signa 3.0T MR scanner using a build.in body coil.The skeletal system Was divided into eight regons and the images of the whole body MR DWI and skeletal seintigraphy were reviewed to compare the two modalities patient by patient and region by region.The images were reviewed separately by two radiologists and two nuclear medicine physicians,who were blinded to the results of another imaging modality.Results A total of 169 metastatic lesions in 69 regions of 30 patients were detected by whole body MR DWI while 156 lesions in 68 regions of 29 patients were identified by skeletal seintigraphy.There were two cases negative in scintigraphy but positive in whole body MR DWI and one case positive in scintigraphy only.There were eight lesions negative in scintigraphy but positive in whole body MR DWI,mainly located in the spine.pelvis and femur.Seven 1esions were only detected by scintigraphy,mainly located in the skull.sternum.clavicle and scapula.Conclusion The whole body MR DWI reveals excellent consistency with skeletal scintigraphy regarding bone metastasis.and the two modalities are complementary for each Other.

Retroperitoneal laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy offers an intrinsic advantage over conventional transperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy because of the potentially lower risk for early and late donor intraperitoneal complications. Herein we presented our experience performing retroperitoneal laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy in 105 donors. All donor nephrectomy was successful. There were no donor deaths and no conversion to open surgery. Mean operation time was 112 min (range, 70-200 min). Intraoperative blood loss was 10-150 mL with an average of 30 mL. Warm ischemia time was 1.3 to 6 min with an average of 3.1 min. Postoperative retroperitoneal hematoma occurred in only one case and there were no other surgical complications. Donors were discharged from the hospital 5 to 10 days postoperation. Average postoperative hospital stay was 6.4 days. One graft was removed due to acute rejection. Delayed graft function occurred in two recipients but renal function returned to normal within four weeks. The other recipients had normal renal function in two weeks except three recipients in four weeks. We believe that retroperitoneal laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy is safe, reliable, and less invasive.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and seasonal distribution of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in a suburban town in Shanghai from 2012 to 2018, and to provide a scientific basis for formulating effective prevention and control strategies. Methods The incidence data of a suburban town in Shanghai from 2012 to 2018 was collected through the Chinese disease prevention and control information system and analyzed by descriptive epidemiological methods. Results From 2012 to 2018, a total of 538 cases of hand, foot and mouth disease were reported in the suburban town in Shanghai, with an average annual incidence of 186.27/100,000. The difference in incidence between each year was statistically significant (χ²=107.95, P<0.05). The age of onset was mainly children under 5 years old. Peak incidence was from May to September. The main occupation was scattered children. HFMD outbreaks mainly occurred in nurseries and schools, accounting for 60.53% of the total number of outbreaks. Conclusion From 2012 to 2018, the incidence of HFMD in a suburban town in Shanghai had a certain seasonality. It is recommended to implement preventive measures against HFMD for key populations and key places before the high incidence period to reduce the occurrence of severe cases and epidemic situations.

Objective To evaluate the risk factors of myasthenic crisis(MC) after thymectomy for myasthenia gravis (MG) Methods A retrospective study was conducted in 84 patients with MG from July 1995 to December 2009. The following factors were evaluated: sex, age, history of preoperative myasthenic crisis, Osssrmen classification, use steroid hormones and anticholinesterase drugs before operation, operation methods, operation time, thymoma, pathology, transfusion, course of disease, postopertive lung infection,etc. Multivariate logistic regrossion analysis was used to find the predictors of postoperative myasthenic crisis. Results Twenty-four patients(28.6%) developed myasthenic crisis after thymectomy. Statistics showed that history of preoperative myasthenic crisis, Ossermen classification, operation methods, operation time were related to postoperative myasthenic crisis. Conclusion Preoperative myastheric crisis, Ossermen classification≥I b, traditional operation methods, long opertion time are the independent risk factors for myasthenic crisis after thymectomy.

Objective To investigate the pathogenesis characteristics and epidemic tendency of notifiable infectious diseases (NID) in Zhujing County of Shanghai from 2013 to 2017, and to provide scientific basis for effective prevention and control measures. Methods Descriptive epidemiological method was used to statistically analyze the epidemic data of NID in Zhujing County of Shanghai during 2013-2017 reported by the China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention. Results A total of 3 259 cases of 17 different NID were reported in Zhujing County of shanghai during 2013-2017.The average annual incidence rate was 509.89/10⁵, A total of 7 cases of death were reported and average annual rate of mortality was 1.10/10⁵.No type A NID was reported and a total of 1 089 cases of 13 type B NID were reported, with the average annual incidence rate of type A and B NID being 170.38/10⁵; a total of 2 170 cases of 4 type C NID were reported, with the average annual incidence rate of type C NID being 339.51/10⁵. The top 5 diseases were HFMD, influenza, syphilis, gonorrhea and tuberculosis, accounting for 32.46%, 25.65%, 17.40%, 7.24% and 5.43% of the total.The onset was mainly to occur from May to August and from December to January, mostly in 0-6 years and 18-40 years groups.Most of the cases were students, scattered children, nursery children, farmers, workers.The incidence rate was higher in men than in women, and the incidence rate of household-registered residents in this city was higher than that of floating population.Intestinal infectious diseases were the main components. Conclusion As HFMD, influenza, syphilis, gonorrhea, tuberculosis prove to be the key NID in Zhujing County of Shanghai, we should act according to the epidemic features of the infectious diseases to formulate perfect control strategy to prevent the outbreak and prevalence of infectious diseases.
