Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cystic tumors. Methods The clinical data of 35 patients with pancreatic cystic tumors were retrospectively analyzed. Results The preoperative diagnosis rate was as follows: ultrasound was 28.6% ( 10/35 ), CT 44.4% ( 12/27 ), MRI 70% (7/10). Twenty-eight cases underwent operation and were diagnosed finally by postoperative pathology. Serous cystic neoplasm (SCN) was found in 2 cases, mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN) in 9 cases,cystic adenocarcinoma in 7 cases, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm ( IPMN ) in 3 cases, solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) in 7 cases. Twenty-three cases were followed up successfully. The post-operative 5 years survival rate was 62.5% (5/8) in pancreatic cystic adenoma without recurrence. The longest survival time in cystic adenocarcinoma after complete resection was 5 years and 8 months, while in which after incomplete resection was 6 months. The 4 cases of SPT are all alive, and one of them has survived for 4 years as the longest one. Conclusions It is difficult to diagnose the pancreatic cystic neoplasm accurately before operation. CT and MRI may be helpful to make the diagnosis. Surgical resection is the most effective treatment. The enhancement of the communication and cooperation between the related departments, the early diagnosis, and the appropriate operation are needed to improve the diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy.

Objective To investigate the effects of sivelestat sodium on early inflammatory reaction in rats with smoke inhalation injury. Methods Forty SPF male SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups:normal control group (A), injury group (B), smoke inhalation treated with 10 mg/kg sivelestat sodium group (C), smoke inhalation treated with 20 mg/kg sivelestat sodium group (D) and smoke inhalation treated with 30 mg/kg sivelestat sodium group (E), 8 rats for each group. After smoke inhalation injury model was established, the treatment groups were intraperitoneally injected sivelestat sodium 10 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg separately. B group was treated with the same volume of physiological saline. After 24 hours,ELISA was used for detecting serum contents of neutrophil elastase (NE), myeloperoxidase (MPO), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in five groups. Meanwhile the water content of lung tissue was measured, and the pathological changes were observed by HE staining. The thickness of alveolar septum was measured and compared between groups. Results Compared with control group, the serum levels of NE, MPO, IL-6, TNF-α, water content of the lung tissue and thickness of alveolar septum were significantly higher in other four groups (P<0.05). Compared with injury group, the serum levels of NE, MPO, IL-6, TNF-α, water content of the lung tissue and thickness of alveolar septum were significantly lower in treatment groups (P<0.05). Compared with 20 mg/kg treatment group and 30 mg/kg treatment group, the serum levels of NE, MPO, IL-6, TNF-α, water content of the lung tissue and thickness of alveolar septum were significantly lower in 10 mg/kg treatment group (P<0.05). Conclusion The result shows that sivelestat sodium can reduce the early inflammatory reaction of rats with smoke inhalation injury and attenuates the lung edema. In this experiment, the treatment effect of 10 mg/kg sivelestat sodium is better than other treatment doses.

Objective:
To evaluate the role of tuberculin skin test prified protein derivative (PPD) in defining the screening scope of close contacts of tuberculosis cases in disposal of tuberculosis outbreak in schools.
Methods:
In a senior middle school in August 2019, 1 553 students of the grade two were tested by PPD because of a school tuberculosis outbreak. PPD results were compared to grade one students without any association with this tuberculosis epidemic, who were also tested by PPD when beginning school. Potential association between PPD distribution characteristics and tuberculosis case distribution were analyzed.
Results:
Twenty nine grade two students were diagnozed as tuberculosis infection, seven of which were PPD positive, and with the same MIRU-VNTR genotype. In grade one, 0.1 % (1/796) student showed strong PPD positive, 34.3% (273/796) student showed positive. For grade two students, significant higher rate of strong PPD positive [5.9% (45/757)], and PPD positive [52.0% (394/757)] were observed ( χ 2=45.71, 49.90, P <0.01). Proportion of strong PPD positive in the first floor of the teaching building ( 19.4 %), where tuberculosis cases clustered, was significantly higher than that in other floors ( χ 2=89.81, P <0.01); Number of strong PPD positive students increased with TB cases in each floor of the teaching building ( r =0.99, P <0.01). Proportion of strong PPD positive and PPD positive in floors of the dormitory, where TB cases lived, was significantly higher than in other floors ( χ 2=49.4, 64.9 , P <0.01). Number of strong PPD positive and PPD positive students increased with TB cases in each floor of the teaching building ( r =0.84, 0.56, P <0.01).
Conclusion
Strong PPD positive rate well reflects tuberculosis infection of close contacts, and is recommended for defining the scope of screening.
