Objective To summarize the experience in diagnosis and treatment of primary splenic neoplasm (PSN). Methods The clinical data of 31 patients with PSN treated in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Results Amongst the patients, 25 were diagnosed as PSN postoperatively. Fifteen out of the 19 patients with benignancy were treated with splenectomy, and the others underwent partial splenectomy or tumor excision. Eleven out of the 12 patients with malignancy received splenectomy (including two by excision of pancreatic body and tail), and the other one underwent biopsy alone. The pathological types were as follows: varieties of cyst in 11, angiocavemoma in 4, inflammatory pseudotumor in 2, cavernous lymphangioma in 1, cystic degeratin of liomyoma in 1, malignant lymphoma and lymphsarcoma in 6, hemangiosarcoma in 3, fibrosarcoma in 1, liomyosarcoma in 1 and malignant fibrous histiocytoma in 1. Three patients with malignancy survived for 5 years. The reason was that they received radical splenectomy in combination with chemotherapy or radiotherapy and immunotherapy. Conclusions PSN should be diagnosed mainly according to clinical manifestations and image examination. The differentiation between benignancy and malignancy depends on CT, hemangiography and determination of seros AKP and ? GT levels. Early diagnosis, radical operation and comprehensive treatment are important for improving the prognosis of PSN.

Objective To study the changes of ventilatory function of young soldiers coming from different regions during cold - tol-erance training. Methods The recruited young soldiers were divided into 2 groups:Group Ⅰ (50 coming from the northern region)and group Ⅱ (50 coming from the southern region) . According to the new training outline of cold -tolerance in winter,their ventilatory func-tions were tested before training and 60 days after training. Ventilatory functions were compared between smoking and non - smoking sub-jects. Results 25% forced expiratory flow (FEF25%) , 50% forced expiratory flow (FEF50%) and 75% forced expiratory flow (FEF75 %) were significant different between two groups before the course of training (P < 0.05). After 60 days, ventilatory functions of two groups were improved significantly as compared with that before training (P <0.01 ,P <0.05). There was no significant difference in ventilatory between two groups after 60 days of training (P > 0.05). There was significant difference in partial small airway function be-tween smoking and non - smoking subjects. Conclusion Cold air could decline the small airway function of soldiers coming from south-ern region before training. Cold -tolerance training has significant influence on soldiers' ventilatory function. Long- term and heavy smok-ing could decline the small airway function.

OBJECTIVE:To compare clinical efficacy,ADR and cost of moxifloxacin alone vs. piperacillin/tazobactam com-bined with azithromycin in the treatment of elderly community acquired pneumonia(CAP). METHODS:In retrospective study, 60 elderly CAP patients were selected from respiratory department of a third grade Class A hospital during Oct. 2015-Apr. 2016, and then divided into group A,B with 30 cases in each group according to the medication regimen. Group A was given Moxifloxa-cin hydrochloride and sodium chloride injection 250 mL,ivgtt,qd;group B was given Azithromycin latobionate for injection 0.50 g,ivgtt,qd+Piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium for injection 3.375 g,ivgtt,q8 h. Both groups were treated for 10 d. Clini-cal efficacy,bacteriological efficacy and the occurrence of ADR were compared between 2 groups. The economics of 2 therapy plans were evaluated. RESULTS:Total response rates of group A and B were 90.00% and 93.33%;bacterial clearance rates were 85.00% and 86.36%;the incidence of ADR were 3.33% and 6.67%,without statistical significance(P>0.05). Minimum cost analysis was adopted for economic evaluation;treatment cost of group A was 16646.51 yuan,and that of group B was 19605.74 yuan;the cost of group A was lower than group B. The results of minimum cost analysis were supported by sensitivity analysis. CONCLUSIONS:For empiric treatment of antibiotics in elderly CAP patients,moxifloxacin alone should be the first choice. The therapy plan is effective,low-cost and safe.
