Objective To investigate the relationship between thyroid hormone levels and the attack of arrhythmia after thoracic surgery.Methods Information of 44 patients after thoracic surgery form September 2012 to February 2015 in General Hospital of Tianjin Medical University was collected, and divided in to the arrhythmia group and non-arrhythmia group.A retrospective analysis was carried on their ECG, thyroid hormone levels, and physical health, and the parameters were then compared between the two groups.The correlation of triiodothyronine (T3) level and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE Ⅱ) was analyzed.Results The arrhymia patients' serum T3 and free triiodothyronine (FT3) levels were below normal levels, while the serum T3 and FT3 levels of the non-arrhythmia patients were within normal range, and the differences between the two groups were significant (P＜0.05).No notable change of other thyroid hormones levels and correlation of T3, FT3 and APACHE Ⅱ score were found.Conclusions There is a significant difference between the arrhythmia and non-arrhythmia groups in serum T3 and FT3 levels.Perioperative thyroid hormone replacement therapy is worthy of consideration and trial in the clinical prevention and treatment of arrhythmia and prognostic improvement of patients.

Purpose To explore the expression of Aurora kinase A (Aurora-A), minichromosome maintenance protein 7 (MCM7) and human papillomavirus type 16 E7 protein (HPV 16 E7) in uterine cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) and to investigate their relationship with clinicopathological factors. Methods Immunohistochemical method was employed on 20 cases of low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN1) , 30 cases of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2+3), 40 cases of CSCC, and 20 ca-ses of chronic cervicitis. Results (1) Aurora-A localized in the cytoplasm and nucleus. MCM7 protein positive staining localized in the nucleus. In the nucleus, and (or) the cytoplasm appeared brown particles positive for HPV 16 E7. (2) The expression of Aurora-A, MCM7 and HPV 16 E7 were higher in the group of CIN2+3 and CSCC than that in the group of chronic cervicitis or CIN1 ( P<0. 0083). (3) In cervical cancer, the expression of Aurora-A, HPV 16 E7 showed positive correlation (P<0. 001, rs =0. 657). The expression of MCM7, HPV 16 E7 showed positive correlation (P<0. 001, rs =0. 616). The expression of Aurora-A, MCM7 showed positive correlation (P<0. 001, rs =0. 597). (4) Aurora-A expression levels was associated with tumor cell differentiation, clinical stage and lymph node metastasis (P<0. 05). MCM7 expression levels was associated with tumor cell differentiation and clinical stage (P<0. 05). HPV 16 E7 expression had no correlation with patient age, tumor size, tumor differentiation, clinical stage and lymph node metastasis (P>0. 05). Conclusion Aurora-A, MCM7 and HPV 16 E7 expression are gradually increased with disease progres-sion, and closely related to the occurrence and development of cervical cancer, they are expected to be early diagnosis, early treatment of biological indicators of cervical cancer.

Abstract: Objective　To investigate the clinical characteristics of silicosis complicated with active pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods A retrospective analysis of 36 patients with silicotuberculosis and 100 patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis was performed from January 2018 to December 2021 at Beijing Chest Hospital，Capital Medical University. The patients were confirmed by etiology or pathology. The patients with silicotuberculosis were designed to observation group and the patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis were designed to control group. The enumeration data were expressed as percentage and were treated with the chi-square test and the nonnormal distribution data is expressed as M(P25, P75). The difference was significant with P<0.05. Results　In the observation group, there were 7 cases (19.4%) of silicosis in stage Ⅰ, 14 cases (38.9%) in stage Ⅱ and 15 cases (41.7%) in stage Ⅲ. 25 cases (69.4%, χ2=17.099) had a course of TB more than 12 months. 32 cases (88.9%, χ2=16.722) with cough, expectoration and dyspnea as the main symptoms. 32 cases (88.9%, χ2=16.722) had nodular lesions, and 30 cases (83.3%, χ2=19.900) had mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy as the main imaging manifestations on chest CT. 17 cases (47.2%, χ2=7.481) were misdiagnosed. Compared with the control group, the difference was significant in these aspects (P<0.05). 27 cases in the observation group were followed up, 1 case died after 5 months of treatment. The negative conversion time of Mycobacteria growth indicator tube (MGIT) liquid culture in sputum was within 2 months in 17 cases (65.4%), between 2 and 12 months in 5 cases (19.2%) and over 12 months in 4 cases (15.4%), and a significant difference was observed comparing with the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions　The patients with silicotuberculosis are mainly in stage Ⅱ and stage Ⅲ with long duration of TB, cough, expectoration and dyspnea as the main symptoms. Chest CT shows that nodules, mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy are the main imaging manifestations. And the silicotuberculosis was easily misdiagnosed. At the same time, screening for latent tuberculosis infection in silicosis patients indispensable due to the poor prognosis of anti-tuberculosis treatment.

ObjectiveTo study the correlation of urinary iodine and thyroid function in elderly men in Harbin,and to provide the basis for formulation of health measures for the elderly.MethodsSeventy five cases of clinically healthy elderly men were enrolled for check-up of urinary iodine,thyroid function and B-ultrasound in Geriatric Ward the Forth Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University in 2010.The subjects of investigation were divided into iodine appropriate and iodine sufficient groups and thyroid function parameters and B-ultrasound results were compared.ResultsThe average age of the 75 cases of healthy elderly men was (79.07 ± 4.78) years old and the median of urinary iodine was 198.4 μg/L.There were 62.67％ (47/75) elderly males whose iodine nutritional status was appropriate,but there were still some individuals(6.67％,5/75) in the iodine excess state.The level of TSH of the iodine appropriate group [(1.91 ± 0.82)mU/L] was lower than that iodine sufficient group [(4.98 ±0.60)mU/L,t =12.58,P ＜ 0.05],while the level of FT3 of the iodine appropriate group[(4.71 ± 0.56)pmol/L]was higher than that iodine sufficient group[(3.31 ± 0.43)pmol/L,t =12.18,P ＜ 0.05].But the difference of FT4between the two groups [(14.91 ± 3.12),(14.06 ± 2.79)pmol/L] was not statistically significant (t =1.40,P ＞0.05].The thyroid volume of iodine sufficient group[(20.9 ± 6.1 )cm3] was higher than that iodine appropriate group [(17.9 ± 5.6)cm3,t =2.11,P ＜ 0.05].ConclusionsSufficient quantities of iodine intake may affect the thyroid of elderly people.Whether the quantity of iodine intake of the elderly population should be decreased or not need to be further studied.

Objective To investigate the clinical application value of laparoscopy-assisted subtotal colectomy with antiperistalsis cecorectal anastomosis for slow transit constipation (STC).Methods From September 2007 to October 2010,a total of 31 patients with STC underwent laparoscopic-assisted subtotal colectomy with antiperistalsis cecorectal anastomosis.A follow-up survey was completed at 3 and 12 months after the operation.Results No death or conversions to open operation occurred.The mean operation time,mean intraoperative blood loss and mean post-operative hospitalization were 260 min (180-310 min),60 ml (30-120 ml) and 8d (6-11 d),respectively.No postoperative infection,anastomotic stoma,adhesive intestinal obstruction or other perioperative complications occurred.In 3-month follow-up,constipation was significantly alleviated in 23 patients,mild diarrhea occurred in 5,diarrhea in 2 and mild recurrence in 1.Constipation was significantly alleviated in 25 patients,mild diarrhea occurred in 5 and mild recurrence in 1 at 12-month follow-up.Conclusion Laparoscopy-assisted subtotal colectomy with antiperistalsis cecorectal anastomosis is safe,effective and less invasive for STC.
