We analyzed the surveillance data of measles from January 1999 to October 2000 in Jiangxi Province for the aim of measles control. The results showed that 3*!184 measles cases were reported from the province and 1 reported case died. Most of the reported measles cases were under 15 years old. The incidence of measles in age group between 7-10 years old was higher than that in other age groups and most of the reported cases having vaccination histroy were 4-10 year old children. Both the sporadic and epidemic measles in some districts existed at the same time and the reported measles cases extensively distributed in all districts of Jiangxi Province. The outbreaks of measles in some districts had affected the morbidity of measles of the whole province To prevent and control measles outbreak are the main effective measures to control this disease.

Objective To explore the effect of different controlled hypotension method on the blood flow of the vertebral vein by measuring of blood flow of vertebral vein in rabbits. Methods Eighteen New Zealand rabbits,weighing 2-3 kg,were rando mly divided into three groups (n =6 each).Group S maintained MAP (90±5)mm Hg,group GTN reduced MAP to the base value of (70±10)% by using nitroglycerin 0.5 μg·kg-1 ·min-1 and esmolol 2.5 μg·kg-1 ·min-1 (ni-troglycerin∶esmolol= 1∶5 ),group SNP reduced MAP to the base value of (70 ± 10 )% by using sodium nitroprusside 0.5 μg·kg-1 ·min-1 and esmolol 2.5 μg·kg-1 ·min-1 (sodium nitroprusside∶es-molol=1∶5).The controlled hypotension model was established after intravenous general anesthesia. The blood flow of vertebral vein in rabbits were measured by ultrasonic measurement system (Terason 2 000 system ) before controlled hypotension and 1 hour after controlled hypotension. Results The MAP before controlled hypotension in group S (89.0 ± 5.2 )mm Hg,group GTN (91.5± 9.6 )mm Hg,group SNP (92.0 ± 5.7 )mm Hg had no significant difference.The blood pressure before and after the experiment had no significantly difference in group S.The blood pressure after controlled hypotension had no significant difference in group GTN and group SNP,but lower than that before controlled hypotension (P <0.05).Compared with group S,the blood flow of verte-bral vein in group GTN and group SNP were significantly reduced (P < 0.05 ).The blood flow in group GTN was significantly reduced compared with that in group SNP (P <0.05 ).Conclusion In the experiment,the combination of nitroglycerin and esmolol can better reduce blood flow of vertebral vein than that of nitroprusside and esmolol,that it is suitable for the control of hypotension in spinal surgery.

Objectives To compare the clinical features between rhinovirus and respiratory syncytial virus infection in lower respiratory tract in children. Methods From December 2012 to May 2013, direct immunofluorescence assay was per-formed to test RSV in 1 037 nasal aspirate specimens with LRTIs. RT-PCR method was used to test HRV RNA. The medical re-cords of patients with a positive test of HRV or RSV were reviewed and compared. Results The isolating rate for HRV and RSV was 8.78%(91/1 037) and 17.16%(178/1 037) respectively. The frequency of co-infection of HRV with other virus was 18.68%, higher than that of RSV (7.30%,χ2=7.867, P=0.005). The age distribution had significant difference between children infected with HRV and RSV (Z=5.40, P<0.001). 78.38% patients with HRV infection were younger than 3 years old, and 83.03%patients with RSV infection were younger than 1 year old. Dyspnea, hyoxemia and wheezing were more common in pa-tients with RSV infection. Admission occurred much later in the course of the HRV infection (P<0.01). Leukocytosis, eosinophi-lia, and an elevated total serum IgE were more common in patients with HRV infection (P<0.05). Conclusions HRV is one of the important causes of LRTIs in Suzhou. The susceptible population, clinical presentation and laboratory results of HRV infec-tions are different from that of RSV infections.

Objective:To investigate the expression of fibroblast growth factor 7 (FGF7) and related inflammatory factors in the serum of patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods:A case control study was conducted. The patients with AECOPD admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from November 2016 to January 2020 were enrolled. The patients were divided into mild group [forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio (FEV1/FVC) < 0.70, FEV1 percentage in predicted value (FEV1%) ≥ 80%], moderate group (FEV1/FVC < 0.70, 50% ≤ FEV1% < 80%), and severe group (FEV1/FVC < 0.70, 30% ≤ FEV1% < 50%) based on their lung function test results, with 20 patients in each group, and 20 patients with normal pulmonary function who underwent elective non-thoracic surgery such as gastrointestinal surgery and orthopedics surgery in the same period were selected as controls. The demographic data, FEV1/FVC, FEV1%, FVC, maximum mid-expiratory flow percentage in predicted value (MMEF%), 6-minute walking test (6MWT), and St George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) score were recorded respectively. Serum levels of FGF7, interleukins (IL-6, IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between TNF-α and lung function.Results:Compared with the normal pulmonary function group, the levels of FEV1/FVC, FEV1%, MMEF% and 6MWT in the mild, moderate and severe groups were significantly decreased, and the SGRQ scores were increased, the indicators continued to deteriorate with the aggravation of the disease, the statistical differences were found between severe group and normal pulmonary function group [FEV1/FVC: 0.39±0.09 vs. 0.81±0.04, FEV1%: (38.80±6.28)% vs. (109.58±13.80)%, MMEF%: (0.34±0.14)% vs. (2.69±0.99)%, 6MWT (m): 279.00±41.61 vs. 402.85±53.97, SGRQ scores: 34.95±6.71 vs. 2.60±2.06, all P < 0.05]. Compared with the normal pulmonary function group, the levels of FGF7 in the mild, moderate and severe groups were significantly lowered (ng/L: 6.31±2.65, 6.10±1.39, 6.64±1.77 vs. 8.29±3.51, all P < 0.05), but no significant difference was found among the mild, moderate and severe groups (all P > 0.05). Compared with the normal pulmonary function group, IL-6 and TNF-α levels were significantly increased in the mild, moderate and severe groups, and TNF-α increased with the aggravation of the disease, the statistical difference was found between severe group and normal pulmonary function group (ng/L: 7.42±2.28 vs. 3.83±0.92, P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in IL-1β level between the normal pulmonary function group and the mild, moderate, severe groups. Correlation analysis showed that TNF-α was negatively correlated with FEV1/FVC and FEV1% ( r values were -0.350 and -0.527, respectively, both P < 0.01). Conclusion:In AECOPD patients, serum FGF7 was decreased, while IL-6 and TNF-α were increased; however, with the aggravation of the disease, there was no significant change in the level of FGF7 in the peripheral blood, but the TNF-α level might be increased, accompanied by severe damage of small airway function.

Objective To compare and analyze the accuracy and safety of robot-assisted and conventional freehand open approach in pedicle screw fixation using meta-analysis.Methods PubMed,Embase,Cochrane,China Biology Medicine,Wanfang and CNKI databases were searched by computer retrieval to identify the relevant literatures published before December1,2016.The qualified literatures were selected according to the preestablished the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria,and processed for data extraction and quality evaluation.The RevMan 5.3 software was used for the meta-analysis.The relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were adopted to represent the effect differences in the dichotomous variable data.The effect difference of continuous variable data was represented by mean difference (MD) or standardized mean difference (SMD).When P<0.05 and 95% CI does not contain the value of 1,the difference was considered statistically significant.Results A total of 266 patients were enrolled,including 138 cases of robot-assisted group and 128 cases of conventional freehand open group,in which 1 200 screws were implanted,including 608 screws by robot-assisted system and 592 screws by conventional freehand open approach.The Gertzbein-Robbins grading criteria (grade A to C) were used.The results showed that there was no significant difference in the accuracy of pedicle screw fixation between the robotic-assisted and conventional freehand open approach according to the grading criteria,i.e.grades A (RR =1.07,95%CI:0.82,1.39,I2=46%,P=0.62),grades B (RR=l.56,95%CI:0.86,2.82,I2=0%,P=0.14) and grades C (RR=0.91,95%CI:0.32,2.55,I2=0%,P=0.85).For the two groups,the difference was no statistically significance in the complication rate (RR=0.33,95%CI:0.05,2.17,I2=0%,P=0.25),and in the revision rate (RR=0.53,95%CI:0.10,2.90,I2=0%,P=0.47).The difference was statistically significance in the overall surgical time (MD=20.90,95%CI:5.54,36.26,I2=15%,P=0.008),and in the exposure time (MD=-1.19,95%CI:-1.63,-0.75,I2=15%,P<0.000 01).The difference was no statistically significance in the distance between screws and facet joint surfaces (SMD=-1.15,95%CI:0.79,1.51,I2=16%,P<0.000 01).Conclusions Compared with the conventional freehand open approach,the current evidence cannot confirm that the robot-assisted system has significant advantages in the surgical accuracy of pedicle screw fixation and complication rate.The spinal surgical robot-assisted system,as a new technology,has considerable potential for further development and application in spinal surgery.
