Objective To analyze the clinical diagnosis and therapeutic effect of primary middle lobe lung cancer,in order to provide evidence for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods The clinical data of 45 cases of primary middle lobe lung cancer treated by surgery from January 2002 to January 2007 were ana- lyzed retrospectively.The operation style includes:simple middle lobectomy 12 cases(26.7 %),middle or up- per lobectomy 10 cases(22.2 %),right lung total resection 5 cases(11.1%).Chest exploration was done on 2 cases(4.44 %),palliative resection or vedged resection 2 cases(4.44 %).Results 1 case died from lung in- fection and respiratory failure(2.22 %).15 cases with arrhythmia (33.3 %), 1 case with chylothorax were cured after conservative treatment.The survival rate of 1,3,5 year were 82.1%,64.3 %,32.1% respectively. Conclusion The treatment of primary middle lobe lung cancer is dominated by regular lobectomy. It is difficult to perform middle lobectomy,so double or total lobectomy is done generally.Owing to the more postoperative complications, it should be cautious to perform sleeve resection.It should be avoided to do vedged resection for primary middle lobe lung cancer in order to lessen local recurrence.

Objective: To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis in Taizhou City from 2016 to 2021, so as to provide the evidence for formulating the pulmonary tuberculosis control measures. Methods: The epidemiological data of pulmonary tuberculosis cases in Taizhou City from 2016 to 2021 were retrieved from the Tuberculosis Management Information System and Infectious Disease Surveillance System of Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System, and the trends in the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis and regional, population and temporal distributions of pulmonary tuberculosis were analyzed using a descriptive epidemiological method in Taizhou City from 2016 to 2021. Results: A total of 15 621 pulmonary tuberculosis cases were reported in Taizhou City from 2016 to 2021, with annual mean reported incidence of 42.12/105. The incidence of reported pulmonary tuberculosis reduced from 43.74/105 in 2016 to 36.31/105 in 2021, with an annual decline rate of 3.65% (χ2trend=34.172, P<0.001). There were 7 606 cases positive for pathogenic tests (48.69%), and the positive rate of pathogenic tests appeared a tendency towards a rise from 2016 to 2021 (χ2trend =470.906, P<0.001). The reported incidence rates of pulmonary tuberculosis were 57.83/105 and 25.46/105 in men and women, and a high incidence rate was reported in patients at ages of 20 to <25 years (72.80/105) and 65 years and older (84.75/105). Farmer was the predominant type of occupation (8 365 cases, 53.55%), and the cases peaked from March to August, with the greatest seasonal index in May (119.76%). A high annual incidence rate of pulmonary tuberculosis was reported in Xianju County (52.51/105) and Wenling City (49.98/105) from 2016 to 2021, and the a high constituent ratio of patients positive for pathogenic tests was seen in Sanmen County (58.71%) and Luqiao District (53.24%). Conclusions The reported incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis showed a tendency towards a decline, and the proportion of pulmonary tuberculosis patients positive for pathogenic tests showed a remarkable increase in Taizhou City from 2016 to 2021. The number of patients peaked in spring and summer. In addition, high incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis was seen in Xianju County and Wenling City.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between herpesviridae and malignant or benign laryngeal diseases.Method:128 paraffin-embedded laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and laryngeal epithelium hyperplastic lesions were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and PCR-ISH for herpesviridae. Result:HSV-1 was detected in 10 cases by PCR,among them 3 were laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC),1 was carcinoma in situ(CIS),4 were laryngeal polyps and 2 were laryngeal keratosis. Except 1 LSCC and 1 CIS, 8 of 10 cases were positive while detected by PCR-ISH. In benign diseases, signals were shown from basal layer to superficial cell; in malignant lesions, the signals were scattered in the diseases.Conclusion:Most of laryngeal diseases were not related to herpesviridae, but HSV-1 may acts as initiator in the development of a few cases.

Objective To analyse the experience and treatment of early phase severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in intensive care units (ICU).Methods A multicenter retrospective study was done on patients with SAP treated in three major teaching hospitals (Beijing Hospital,Peking University First Hospital and Peking University Shenzhen Hospital) in China from Jan.2001 to Dec.2011.Results There were 188 patients who were enrolled in the study,including 121 males and 67 females.The age ranged from 19 to 104 (51.0±18.2) years.The mean APACHE Ⅱ score was (22.2±4.6).84.0％ of patients survived,the mortality was 10.1％ in the early phase and 5.9％ in the late phase.The most common systemic complications were acute renal injury (46.3 ％),acute respiratory distress syndrome (35.6％),and septic shock (17.6％).The local complication rate was 47.3％,which included acute peripancreatic fluid collections (32.8％),acute necrotic collection and walled-off necrosis (48.4 ％) and pseudocyst (18.8 ％).The conservative treatments included intensive care,fluid resuscitation,mechanical ventilation,continuous renal replacement therapy,antibiotics,glucose control,inhibition of pancreatic enzyme activity and secretion,and nutritional support.Surgical intervention included endoscopic retrospective cholangio-pancreatography and endoscopic sphincterectomy,B ultrasound or CT guided puncture and drainage,and surgical drainage and debridement of necrosis.Conclusions The early phase of SAP was characterized by systemic inflammatory response syndrome and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome which accounted for the first peak in mortality.Intensive care therapy and multi disciplinary comprehensive combined strategy were very important for these patients with systemic and local complications.ICU treatment in the early phase was preferred for patients with SAP.

Objective To analyze the clinical and radiographic characterstics of ureteral polyps with hydronephrosis in children.Methods Thirteen patients with ureteral polyps and hydronephrosis were studied retrospectively.All patients underwent abdominal plain film,intravenous pyelogram(IVP)and ultrasound(US)examinations,contrast-enhanced CT scan was performed in 10 cases.Results Intermittent or recurrent abdominal pain with painless hematuria was presented in most cases.Hydronephrosis was demonstrated in radiographic images.IVP delineated the dilatation of the ureter and filling defects within the ureteral lumen in 5 cases.Computed tomography(CT)showed all abnormal changes of ureter and irregular intraluminal soft tissue masses in 6 cases.Moderate and low echoic structures were showed in ureters by US in 2 cases.Conclusion US and CT,as an important imaging modalities,can improve the diagnostic accuracy for ureteral polyps.

Expression of Ia-antigen on cells in lymphoid dendritic cells (LDCs)-enrt- ched fractions isolated from unstimulated rat spleens was observed with ABC immunoperoxidase and indirect immunofluorescent staining methods. The results appeared that there were three types of cells in stained preparaions: 1. Large cells with dendritic processes on their surfaces showed dark brown in colour with ABC staining method and emitted intense light-green fluorescence with immuno- fluorescent staining technic. 2. Large rounded or ovoid cells without obviously ramifications revealed colourless or light yellow-brown in colour with ABC sta- ining method and emitted no or weak yellow-green fluorescence with immuno- fluorescent staining technic. 3. Spherical lymphocytes of varying in size were similar to type 2 cells in immunoreactivity. The results of SEM and S-100 pro- tein staining confirmed that these three types of cells were LDCs, macrophages and lymphocytes in turn. It is indicated that LDCs consistently expressed Ia- antigen in large amount on their surfaces.

Objective To develop a child neglect scale with Chinese culture background to assess the status of the neglected children in China,and examine the reliability and validity of the child-neglect scale(CNS).Methods Considering the cultural background of China,an item pool was established by revising items in correlative literatures and scales.Then,the first draft of the CNS was improved by reserving the effective items well graded by professional experts.A total of 871 students from 2 junior high schools and a vocational and technical college were involved in the study.Those students were surveyed with Parental Rearing Patterns scale and child neglect scale.Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were applied to the development and evaluation of the structure of the scale.Results The findings were as follows:the general Cronbach′s Alpha reliability was 0.85,the split-half reliability was 0.81,the test-retest reliability was 0.90. The CNS was made of the 4 sub-scales which was safe neglect scale,physical neglect scale,communion neglect scale and affection neglect scale.the general Cronbach′s Alpha reliability of the child neglect scale was 0.79-0.85,the split-half reliability was 0.64-0.81,and the test-retest reliability was 0.82-0.90.The item loadings of the neglect scale were over 0.30.The confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the ratio of Chi-square to degrees of freedom were 1.766,the goodness of fit index was 0.917,the Tucker-Lewis index was 0.916,and the root mean square error of approximation was 0.047.Criterion-related validity studies indicated that the scores of the CNS were significantly correlated with the rearing patterns as well(r=0.049,-0.465 P
