To employ multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to classify the types of virus in 128 patients of community-acquired pneumonia and analyze the relationship between type of virus,age and seasons.The positive rate of viral pneumonia was 34.4％ (44/128).In 44 virus positive patients,the rates of influenza A virus,rhinovirus,adenovirus,parainfluenza type 1,human metapneumovirus virus,influenza B virus,parainfluenza type 2,parainfluenza type 3 and enterovirus were 22.7％ (10/44),15.9％ (7/44),15.9％ (7/44),9.1％ (4/44),9.1％ (4/44)6.8％ (3/44),2.3％ (1/44),2.3％ (1/44) and 2.3％ (1/44) respectively.And other 6(13.6％) patients were at least infected by one virus.The viral pneumonia had a high positive rate in spring and winter.And the age group of 20 to 29 years had a high positive rate.The major pathogen contributing to adult community-acquired pneumonia in Yantai were influenza A virus,rhinovirus and adenovirus.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for medical costs control in China. METHODS:Based on main characteristics of the United States health service system,information asymmetry,principal-agent theory and Freedman’s consumption theory were used to analyze the advantages of restrictive relationship among doctors,hospitals and health insurance institutions in control-ling medical costs and improving the quality of diagnosis and treatment. The growth rate of medical cost,the percentage of drug ex-penditure and other aspects were compared between China and the United States;the effect of restrictive relationship on medical cost control was demonstrated. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:In the United States,there are hierarchical medical system and two-way referral system;for-profit hospitals and non-profit hospitals are mutually complementary;different natures of health insur-ance system,different payment methods and strict“commercial bribe”monitoring system are carried out;doctors,hospitals and health insurance restrict each other. Not only there are many advantages in theory,but also in practice the growth rate of medical cost and the percentage of drug expenditure are superior to our country. Finally it controls the rapid growth of medical cost to a cer-tain extent. Combined with our national conditions,learning from the United States experience,restrictive relationship among doc-tors,hospitals and health insurance institutions is established to control the increase of medical cost in China through reducing infor-mation asymmetry and standardizing payment audit;establishing a scientific pattern of mixed payment;strengthening the indirect impact of the health insurance institutions on doctors and hospitals,etc.

Objective To analyze the clinical features of candida arthritis and to conduct literature review to improve diagnosis and treatment.Methods From January 2008 to June 2018,eighteen patients (5 females and 13 males) with candida arthritis were admitted to two hospitals.The mean age at diagnosis was 59±8 (range 48-71 years).The diagnosis was determined based on joint fluid aspirate in all cases and on intra-operative samples in 1 patients.Seventeen patients received MR examination,and on epatient who underwent total knee arthroplasty underwent knee X-ray examination.The clinical features,risk factors,clinical manifestations,etiology,treatment and prognosis are recorded.Results Knee joints were involved in all patients as infection sites.Seventeen patients had risk factors for candida infection,including diabetes mellitus in 2 patients,artificial joint replacement in 1,and glucocorticoid injection in the joint cavity in 16.Swelling and pain were presented in all cases.Peripheral blood leukocytes were increased or normal,while C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were increased.Magnetic resonance showed joint effusion and slip membrane hyperplasia.Joint turbidity and synovial hyperplasia were presented by arthroscopy.X-ray demonstrated swelling of soft tissue around the prosthesis and bone absorption around the prosthesis.The most frequent species was non-candida albicans.Susceptibility to antifungals was tested in all cases.Thirteen patients underwent surgery combined with antifungal therapy,while 4 patients only received antifungal therapy and 1 patient refused to treat.The duration of antifungal therapy was from 6 weeks to 52 weeks (median,12 weeks).Twelve cases were treated with fluconazole and 1 with voriconazole,1 with voriconazole and fluconazole,1 with fluconazole combined with lipid formulation amphotericin B,1 with terbinatine and fluconazole,1 with flucytosine combined with tluconazole.Seventeen cases were followed up for 3 to 72 months.At final follow-up,twelve patients were healed,while 1 case was amputated and 4 patients relapsed and refused further treatment.Conclusion As a rare disease,candida arthritis is usually happened after artificial joint replacement and in high-risk patients with diabetes and immunosuppressant applications.In immunoeompetent patients without surgery,infection may be related to multiple injections into the joim cavity with glucocorticoids.The infection may be difficult to be diagnosed and with poor prognosis.Surgery with long-term antifungal therapy is required.

Objective To investigate the frequency and location of cerebral microbleeds(CMB) in dementia with Lewy bodies(DLB)versus in Alzheimer's disease(AD).Methods This retrospective study included three groups of probable AD patients (n =156),dementia with Lewy bodies (n =67) and normal controls(n=172).Frequencies and location of CMBs in the three groups were calculated and recorded.The foci of MRI signal for CMB were confirmed by two radiologists at moments of unknowingness about diagnosis.The correlations of cerebral small vessel disease and cerebral amyloid angiopathy with the development of cognitive decline in AD were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of CMBs was higher in patients with groups of DLB(22.4 ％,15/67) and AD(19.8 ％,31/156) than in normal controls (8.2 ％,14/172) (P =0.002 and 0.002),while there was no significant difference in incidence rate of CMBs between DLB and AD groups(P＞0.05).The MRI signal intensity of CMBs was the highest in the occipital lobe of the DLB group,and was higher in the deep temporal lobe or temporal lobe in the AD group.Conclusions The frequency of CMB is higher in patients with DLB or AD than in normal controls and there is no significant difference in frequency of CMB between DLB and AD groups,which suggests that the pathophysiological mechanisms of CMB may be similar between AD and DLB.

Objective : To investigate the pathogenic factors and clinical manifestations of contact stomatitis, and to provide references for its clinical diagnosis and prevention. Methods: The data of 55 subjects with contact stomatitis were analyzed retrospectively, including age, gender, pathogenic factors, type of lesions and site of occurrence. Results: Among the 55 patients, contact stomatitis occurred at all ages, 19 were male, 36 were female, and the ratio of males to females was 1∶1.89. Among 55 patients, 78.18% (43/55) were caused by oral mucosal contact with dental materials: amalgam fillings accounted for 52.73% (29/55), metal crowns accounted for 9.09% (5/55), removable denture plastic bases accounted for 9.09% (5/55), resin fillings accounted for 5.45% (3/55), and alginate impression materials accounted for 1.82% (1/55); 21.82% (12/55) were caused by oral mucosal contact with food and daily necessities. The clinical manifestations of contact stomatitis include lichenoid reaction, erythema and erosion. The most common site of contact stomatitis was the cheek, followed by the tongue, and the lips, and the gingival and palatal areas were relatively rare. In the buccal mucosa, the incidence of lichenoid reaction was 55% (22/40), which was higher than that of erosion (20%) and erythema (25%), and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). For tongue, lip, gingiva and palate, there was no significant difference in the incidence of the three lesion types（P > 0.05）. Conclusion Contact stomatitis occurred at all ages, and there are more female patients than males with contact stomatitis. Dental materials, especially metal and acrylic materials (such as the plastic base of removable dentures, resin fillings, adhesives, and self-setting plastics), are the main pathogenic factors. In buccal mucosa, the incidence of lichenoid reaction is higher.

Objective To estimate the mean annual expenditure of patients with prevalent liver cancer in China on the perspective of the natural progression of the disease and to provide baseline information for liver cancer?related disease burden estimation and evaluation of prevention strategies. Methods A multicenter survey on liver cancer was conducted between 2012 and 2014 in 13 sites where the cancer screening program was conducted in Urban China, by face?to?face interviews with hospitalized patients. Data on basic information, clinical diagnosis and treatment, direct medical expenditure, and direct non?medical expenditure were collected. By?year expenditure and number of visits from the first visit to the end of the survey were analyzed. The trend for the two indicators in each year was analyzed. The subgroup analysis of factors such as sex and age was conducted. All the expenditure data were discounted to the year 2014 and presented in Chinese yuan. The statistical analysis was performed using the SAS 9.4 software. Results A total of 2 222 patients with liver cancer, with a mean age of 55.7±11.2 years, were included. Men accounted for 79.2% (1 759 cases) of the patients, women accounted for 20.8% (463 cases) of the patients, and 75.6% (1 679 cases) of the cases were from cancer hospitals. Stage Ⅰ cases only accounted for 14.1% (299 cases) of all the cases, and most cases were stageⅢorⅣ(62.6%, 1 325 cases). Of the cases, 64.4% (1 430 cases) had pathological information, and 83.6%(1 195 cases) were pathologically hepatocellular carcinoma. The sample sizes for the first 3 years from the first visit were 2 222, 149, and 57, respectively (by?year sample sizes thereafter were<50). The annual total medical expenditures for the first 3 years were 49 091 yuan (95% confidence interval [CI]: 47 376-50 806), 30 506 yuan (95% CI: 26 462-34 549), and 32 100 yuan (95% CI: 25 917-38 283) (P<0.001). The corresponding number of visits were 1.9, 1.6, and 1.5 (P<0.001). The trend for each province was consistent with the overall trend, while the down trend from years 1 to 2 varied among provinces, ranging from 1.4 (Zhejiang province) to 5.6 times (Henan province). For the trend in the first 3 years, differences were found in subgroups such as region (P<0.001) and treatment (P<0.05), instead of sex, age, stage, and other subgroups. Conclusions For liver cancer patients in China, the annual expenditure for the first year in the whole disease course was 1.6 times higher than that for the second year, which varied among provinces. However, information on annual expenditure for the later course of liver cancer is still limited.

Objective: To investigate the classification of atrophic glossitis and to study the correlation between the classification and changes of VitB12, folic acid (FOL) and blood cell parameters Methods: A total of 70 patients with atrophic glossitis (AG) were divided into complex type and simple type according to whether they had ulcer or erosion on the tongue mucosa or not. Another 65 healthy subjects during the same period were collected as the control group. The levels of vitamin B12, FOL and blood cell parameters were statistically analyzed using SPSS 25.0 software package. Results: The levels of vitamin B12, red blood cell count (RBC) (3.52 ± 0.69) × 1012·L-1, hemoglobin (HGB)(11.97 ± 1.70) g·dL-1, white blood cell count (WBC) (4.85 ± 1.16) × 109·L-1, neutrophil count (NEUT) (2.76 ± 0.99) × 109·L-1, lymphocyte count (LYMPH) (1.48 ± 0.44) × 109·L-1 in complex type AG group were lower than those in simple type AG group (P<0.05). The levels of mean red blood cell volume (MCV) (104.90 ± 11.13) fL, mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) (34.83 ± 4.56) pg, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) (331.09 ± 13.60) g·L-1 were higher than those in the simple type AG group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in FOL content between these two groups (P>0.05). The levels of VitB12, MCV, MCH, MCHC, WBC, lymph and neut were correlated with the classification of atrophic glossitis (P < 0.05). Conclusion VitB12 deficiency was more apparent in complex AG, especially in large cell anemia, which correlated with the levels of WBC, NEUT, and LYMPH.
