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 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 expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in lumbar dorsal root ganglions (DRG) of rats model of high-dose fentanyl induced hyperalgesia. Methods 64 male SD rats were divided into 2 groups (n = 32), fentanyl group and normal saline (NS) group. The rats were injected with fentanyl (60 μg/kg) or NS 4 times in total subcutaneously with a 15-minute interval. Mechanical and thermal nociception were measured via the tail pressure test (tail flick thresholds, TFT) and paw withdrawal test (paw withdrawal latency, PWL) at 1 day before, at 1, 2, 3 and 4 hour and on 1 ~ 7 day after administration. 4 rats were sacrificed and the lumbar DRG were harvested to analyze the expression of PGE2 , IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-αvia ELISA. Results There were no significant changes of TFT, PWL and the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in DRG compared to baseline of rats in NS group. The value of TFT , PWL in fentanyl group were above the baseline at the 1 ~ 4 hour and below the baseline at 1~3 day after fentanyl injections. PGE2 , IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6 increased on 1,3,5,7 day after fentanyl injections significantly. Conclusions High-dose fentanyl induced significant hyperalgesia and up-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines in DRG. The expression pro-inflammatory cytokines peaked later and were more protracted than the change of behavior test and show no direct relationship between the two.

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.
