Objective To investigate the dynamic change and the clinical curative effect evaluation of plasma (1-3)-beta glucan D (BG) in the patients with pulmonary disease complicating fungal infection .Methods The MB-80 miroorganism dynamic rapid de-tection system and fungi BG detection kits were adopted to detect plasma BG content before and after treatment in 87 cases of pul-monary disease complicating fungal infection and the controls .The sputum culture in the patients was performed before and after treatment .Results Plasma BG levels before antifungal therapy ,at 1 ,2 weeks after treatment in 87 patients were (162 .81 ± 70 .03) , (15 .89 ± 30 .88) and (4 .58 ± 7 .87)pg/mL ,which in the control group was (5 .62 ± 1 .83)pg/mL ,plasma BG level had statistical differences between before treatment and at 1 ,2 weeks after treatment in the patients with the control group (P<0 .05);Plasma BG levels between at 1 week after treatment with at 2 weeks after treatment and the control group had statistically significant differ-ences (P<0 .05) .Among 87 patients ,66 cases were positive sputum culture at 1 week after antifungal drug treatment and 9 cases were positive sputum culture at 2 weeks after treatment .Conclusion Continuously monitoring the patient′s plasma BG level com-bined with the sputum fungal culture results ,clinical symptoms and lung shadow in X-ray has certain clinical value to judge the anti-fungal effect .

Objective To study the changes of neutrophil surface molecule CD64 and inflammatory factor levels in patients with burn infection. Methods 46 cases of patients with burn infection who were treated in the department of burn in our hospital between March 2010 and October 2015 were selected as the observation group. Meanwhile, 46 cases of healthy people who underwent physical examination in our hospital during the same period were included in the control group. The levels of neutrophil surface molecule CD64, C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cell count (WBC) and inflammatory factor [interleukin IL-6 (IL-6), interleukin (IL-8), tumor necro-sis factor (TNF-α) in the two groups of subjects were determined by flow cytometry and were compared. Results In the observation group, the levels of CD64, CRP, WBC and inflammatory factors were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The levels of CD64, CRP, WBC and inflammatory factors in patients with burn infection are significantly higher than those in healthy people , which indicates that neutrophil surface molecule CD64, inflammatory factors and burn infection are closely correlated.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of different laboratory methods for the supplementary diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis（PTB）and provide reference data for the early diagnosis of PTB. Methods: A total of 298 suspected PTB patients, who were diagnosed and treated in the outpatient department of Shanghai Tongren Hospital from January 2016 to December 2018, were divided into 3 groups: active PTB (138 cases)，inactive PTB (43 cases) and non-PTB (117 cases) group. Sputum acid-fast staining, MGIT liquid culture system and Xpert MTB/RIF test were performed to detect the sputum specimens. The sensitivity and specificity were compared by Chi-square test. Results: The three methods showed certain significance for distinguishing active PTB, inactive PTB combined with non-PTB (χ 2 values were 89.08, 138.94 and 137.12 respectively, all P＜0.01). There was no significant difference for the positive rate of the three methods between inactive PTB and non-PTB. The sensitivities of acid-fast staining, MGIT liquid culture, Xpert MTB/RIF test and the combination of three methods in the diagnosis of active PTB were 45.7% (63/138), 63.8% (88/138), 65.4% (87/133) and 78.2% (104/133) respectively. The sensitivities of MGIT culture and Xpert MTB/RIF test were significantly higher than that of acid-fast staining (χ 2 was 35.79 and 11.26 respectively，all P＜0.01). There was no significant difference for the sensitivities between MGIT liquid culture and Xpert MTB/RIF test（χ 2 was 29.87, P＞0.05) . The sensitivity of combined detection was higher than that of single detection（χ 2 was 30.84, 64.62, 70.14, respectively, all P＜0.01）. The diagnostic specificities of the three methods and their combination were 99.1%（116/117), 98.3%（115/116）, 99.1%（113/114) and 97.3%（110/113）respectively. There was no significant difference for the specificities of the three methods. Conclusion High sensitivities of MGIT liquid culture and Xpert MTB/RIF test were shown in PTB diagnosis. Combined detection of the three methods may improve the sensitivity of detection.
