Abstract: Objective To analyze the effect of adjuvant to levofloxacin in the treatment of retreatment smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis, as well as its effect on respiratory function, immune function and inflammatory factors. Methods One hundred cases of retreatment smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients admitted to Rudong County People's Hospital in Nantong city in Jiangsu province from 2017 to 2021 were randomly divided into a control group (n=50) and an observation group (n=50) according to random number table method. Both groups received conventional treatment (3 months of isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol, pyrazinamide / 6 months of isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol), with levofloxacin added to the control group, and thymopentin added to the observation group for the first three months in addition to routine treatment. The treatment effect of the two groups were compared. Results The sputum smear conversion rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group after 3 months and 5 months of treatment (χ2=7.142, P<0.05; χ2=6.250, P<0.05). The cavity absorption time and lesion absorption time in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (t=4.006, P<0.05; t=5.165, P<0.05). The turning time of bacteriological culture in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (t=4.220,P<0.05). After 3 months of treatment, CD4+, CD3+, CD4+/CD8+ of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, the differences were statistically significant (t=8.885, P<0.05; t=6.274, P<0.05; t=4.357, P<0.05). After 3 months of treatment, the IFN-γ (interferon-γ) of the observation group was higher than that of the control group (t=8.892, P<0.05), whereas the , IL-10 (interleukin-10) was significantly lower than that in the control group (t=5.986, P<0.05). After 3 months of treatment, forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (forced expiratory volume in one second, FEV 1) and the one-second rate (forced expiratory volume in one second / forced vital capacity, FEV1/FVC) in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (t=11.223, P<0.05; t=10.128, P<0.05; t=4.464, P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (χ2=0.378, P>0.05). Conclusions Thymopentin combined with levofloxacin had a significant application effect in the treatment of retreatment smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis, s, which led to improved inflammatory reaction, respiratory function and immune function. Additionally, it can increase sputum smear conversion rate and accelerate patient recovery, improving overall treatment efficacy, with a relatively high clinical application value.

Objective:
To explore the application effect of preoperative administration of immunomodulating enteral nutrition for gastric cancer.
Methods:
From January 2016 to December 2017, 90 cases with gastric cancer in the Second People′s Hospital of Lianyungang were selected and randomly divided into observation group, control group A and control group B, with 30 cases in each group.The observation group was given enteral nutrition emulsion(TPFT, Ruineng) before and after operation, the control group A was given Ruineng before operation and the enteral nutrition emulsion(TP, Ruisu) after operation, the control group B was given Ruisu before operation and Ruineng after operation.The recovery, serum markers of nutritional status and immune function were evaluated and compared, and the postoperative situations were observed.
Results:
There were no statistically significant differences in the total protein, albumin, prealbumin and transferrin among the three groups during admission, 1 day before operation and 5 days after operation(all

Objective:
To compare the effects of laparoscope and open complete mesocolic excision (CME) in the treatment of right colon cancer.
Methods:
The retrospective case-control study was adopted.The clinical data of 139 patients with right colon cancer who underwent CME at the Second People's Hospital of Lianyungang from January 2014 to November 2017 were collected.The patients were divided into laparoscopy group(55 cases) and open group(84 cases). The postoperative recovery and oncology efficacy were compared.
Results:
The operation time in the laparoscopy group[(172.8±25.9)min]was longer than that in the open group[(142.3±20.6)min](

Objective:To explore the application value of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in colorectal cancer patients.Methods:From January 2017 to December 2018, 60 patients with colorectal cancer who admitted to the Second People′s Hospital of Lianyungang were selected and divided into ERAS group and control group according to the random digital table method, with 30 patients in each group.The inflammation, nutritional indicators, immune indicators and clinical manifestations before and after surgery in the two groups were compared.Results:At 1 d and 3 d after surgery, the C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in the ERAS group were (70.2±10.3)mg/L, (82.5±8.2)mg/L, respectively, which were lower than those in the control group [(81.5±9.9)mg/L, (110.2±12.9)mg/L] ( t=4.324, 9.911, all P<0.05). On the third day after operation, the levels of albumin and prealbumin in the ERAS group were (31.6±4.8)g/L, (196.8±40.6)g/L, respectively, which were higher than those in the control group [(28.0±5.8)g/L, (172.1±38.8)g/L]( t=2.621, 2.409, all P<0.05). The immune parameters(IgA, IgM, IgG, CD 4+, CD 4+ /CD 8+) in the ERAS group were higher than those in the control group( t=2.132, 2.223, 6.063, 4.253, 2.828, all P<0.05). The number of cases with thirsty and hunger on the day of surgery in the ERAS group was 3 cases and 7 cases, respectively, which were less than 21 cases and 25 cases of the control group(χ 2=22.500, 21.696, all P<0.05). The first exhaust time, defecation time and hospital stay time in the ERAS group were (36.2±12.1)h, (63.4±13.4)h and (9.5±3.2)d, respectively, which were shorter than those in the control group [(54.7±13.8)h, (96.5±18.8)h and (12.1±4.0)d] ( t=5.513, 7.845, 2.761, all P<0.05). The incidence of complications between the two groups had no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05). Conclusion:ERAS can significantly reduce the physical and psychological traumatic stress of patients with colorectal cancer, achieve rapid recovery, improve the treatment effect, shorten the length of hospital stay, reduce social and family burden, and provide a basis for the choice of clinical treatment program.
