Background and purpose:Previous researches have shown that procalcitonin differentiates infec-tious from non-infectious fever and assesses the severity of infectious diseases. This study aimed to investigate the clin-ical value of procalcitonin in patients with chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia.Methods:A total of 147 patients with chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia admitted to intensive care unit from Jan. 2012 to Dec. 2014 were di-vided into infectious group and fever of unknown origin group according to clinical symptoms, signs and etiology. The infectious group was divided into sepsis, severe sepsis, and septic shock groups according to the severity of infection. The procalcitonin levels were compared between different groups.Results:A procalcitonin cut-off value>0.935 ng/mL provided a sensitivity of 90.0%, speciifcity of 90.0% and AUC=0.905. The procalcitonin level of the infectious group was signiifcantly higher than that of the fever of unknown origin group [1.805 (1.268-2.523) ng/mLvs 0.555 (0.398-0.818) ng/mL,P<0.001]. There is a signiifcant difference between the severe sepsis group and the sepsis group [13.885 (7.600-17.961) ng/mLvs 1.805 (1.268-2.563) ng/mL,P<0.001]. Compared with the severe sepsis group, the value of procalcitonin in the septic shock group was signiifcantly higher [23.800 (20.050-30.478) ng/mLvs 13.885 (4.955-19.133) ng/mL,P<0.001].Conclusion:Plasma procalcitonin is a useful marker for diagnosing neutropenia in patients with infection. Meanwhile, procalcitonin can be used to assess the severity of infection in patients with neutropenia.

ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors associated with macrovascular disease in patients with newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes. MethodsAccording to arterial intima-media thickness(IMT)measured by color duplex ultrasonography,232 cases of newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients were divided into two groups:one group were 95 cases with macrovascular disease(MD),and the other group were 137 cases without macrovascular disease (non-MD).Then various clinical data between the two groups were compared and the correlated risk factors for macrovascular disease were analyzed. Results (1)95 patients(40.9%)showed macrovascular disease in 232 patients.(2)Age,BMI,SI,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,TC,LDL-C,CRP and 24h UmAlb were significantly higher in MD group compared with those in non-MD group(all P＜0.05);But ISI was significantly lower in MD group compared with that in non-MD group(P＜0.05).(3)Pearson correlation analysis showed that risk factors were old age,BMI,smoking,higher systolic blood pressure,higher diastolic blood pressure,TC,LDL-C,CRP and microalbuminuria. ConclusionMacrovascular disease was related to many factors.It was important to control some risk factors earlier for preventing the happening and progress of macrovascular disease.

Objective To explore the experiences of the diagnosis and treatment of urothelial tumor in multiple organs.Methods Clinical data of 10 patients with urothelial tumor in multiple organs were retrospectively reviewed.Urothelial tumors were found in two or more organs at the same time by B ultrasound,IVU,R-P,CTU,MRU,cystoscopy,ureteroscopy and so on before operation.Results 6 cases were operated by radical total nephroureterectomy and partial cystectomy,3 cases were operated by radical total nephroureterectomy and cystectomy with urinary diversion,1 case was operated by partial ureterectomy and total cystectomy.8 of them were alive,1 case was operated by total urethrectomy because of tumor recurrence in the posterior urethra,one died of metastasis tumor 18 months after operation,and the other died 32 month after operation.Conclusions Combined use of various kinds of the diagnostic means (ultrasound,IVU,R-P,CTU,MRU,cystoscopy,ureteroscopy) are important for the diagnosis of urothelial tumor in multiple organs.It needs to select the operate mode according to the tumor staging and grade and the patient's condition.Reinforcement surveillance and close follow up is required after operation.

Objective To learn current status and influentcing factors of post competency among preventive medicine graduates from a medical university,in order to provide evidence for the improvement of post competency preventive medicine graduates.Methods We adopted stratified sampling strategy,chose 1 provincial,1 municipal and 2 county level CDCs,used self-developed questionnaires to survey preventive medicine graduates from a specific medical university.Clustering analysis,correlation analysis,Logistic regression and rank-sum test were applied to analyze data.Results Among all respondents,26 (40.63％) reported that they were totally competent on their posts,the rest 38 (59.37％) reported ordinary post competency.We found 7 factors that were significantly associated with post competency:fondness of the job,whether proactive on the job,whether responsible to the job,et al.Conclusion Post competency of preventive medicine graduates from this particular medical university exceeded preventive medicine graduates from Xinjiang Medical University.However,there still exists some problems for improvement.We recommend that universities and working units should improve post competency of preventive medicine students based on those influential factors we identified.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of the newly discovered tricuspid injury during the fol-low -up of the patients with interventional transcatheter closure for perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD). Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical data was performed in the successful completion of membranous VSD in-tervention from March 2003 to April 2015,and 11 cases of serious tricuspid injury in children were found during the fol-low -up.Results Among 11 children,10 cases underwent surgery again,and in 7 cases of them with pseudoaneurysm of perimembranous septum,the occluders were deviated toward the right ventricul which caused valvular inadequacy for plate winding closures,extrusion and wear of tricuspid chordae and /or leaflet by right ventricul(RV)disc.Among them,1 case was caused by leaflet fusion tear and tricuspid valve insufficiency;3 cases without pseudoaneurysm were caused by a spindle like RV disc recovery structure protruding into the right ventricle,and then the disc squeezed the tricuspid tendinous cord or leaflet and the right ventricular disc nut wrapped tendon of tricuspid valve finally leading to tricuspid valve insufficiency.There was a small amount of tricuspid regurgitation after surgery;the cardiac size and car-diac function returned to normal.One case did not receive surgery,and at present the right atrium and right ventricle were significantly enlarged,and the activity was limited.Conclusions Tricuspid injury discovered newly after perimem-branous VSD interventional therapy is more common in pseudoaneurysm with large tumor occluding the right ventricular disc resulting in poor formation,and it is important to consider these factors in choosing the size of the occluder and the operation.Long term follow -up mechanism should be established for the treatment of VSD after interventional therapy.

Objective To explore the feasibility of one-stop examination with Revolution CT for axial perfusion of normal pancreas.Methods Thirteen patients who received axial perfusion scan by one-stop examination with Revolution CT were analyzed as perfusion group.Two radiologists measured pancreatic CT perfusion (CTP) parameters independently and selected optimal phase for CTA and three phases of enhanced images.The effect dose (ED) was calculated.Eighteen patients who underwent abdominal enhanced CT and CTA with spiral scan were included as control group.Patients in both groups had no pancreatic disorders.The interobserver variation of CTP parameters was estimated.Two independent radiologists separated the superior pancreaticoduodenal artery (SPDA) image into 5 points according to image quality,and the consistency was assessed.The subjective points of SPDA image quality of two groups was compared.CT value,images noise,CNR and SNR of SPDA on CTA images and those of pancreas on three phases enhanced scan images between two groups were compared.Results ICC values of all CTP parameters were higher than 0.75.The ED of perfusion protocol was (24.52±-0.01)mSv.The subjective image scores of SPDA on CTA images in both groups were both 5,the consistency was good (Kappa=0.629,0.769).The CT value,CNR,and SNR of SPDA on CTA images of CTP group were higher than those of control group (all P＜0.05).The CT value,CNR,and SNR of pancreas of CTP group were higher than those of control group in venous phase and balanced phase (all P＜0.05).Conclusion The pancreatic CT one-stop examination can be performed by Revolution CT scanner with maximum detector width with acceptable radiation dose,from which pancreatic CT perfusion data,enhanced images with high quality and better CTA images can be extracted.

Objective To evaluate white matter nerve fiber changes of children with binocular ametropic amblyopia by applying the technology of diffusion tensor imaging and the whole brain analysis method of deterministic tractography,and analyze its correlation with visual acuity.Methods Fourteen binocular ametropic amblyopia children was collected from the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University as study subject of experimental group,14 cases of normal sight children as the control group.All children were scanned by MRI system,conventional MRI examination,3DTlWI scan were made,then echo-planar sequence scanning was used to obtain diffusion tensor imaging.Quantitative analysis was made to all diffusion tensor imaging using deterministic tractography.Using the experimental group tracts with statistic changes of FA value,volume and tract count as the region of interest(ROI),the correlation analysis with vision for each ROI was performed.Results Isoametropic amblyopia children demonstrated low FA values in the right ventral and dorsal pathway,right optic radiation and corpus callosum compared to control group.There was low volume of fibers in the bilateral ventral and dorsal pathway,the left optic radiation and body of corpus callosum compared to control group.The tract count of right dorsal pathway had reduced compared to control group.Among FA value,tract count and volume,FA value had the maximum regression coefficient with visual acuity,the regression coefficient of tract count and volume was small.The relative correlation coefficient of FA value at right optic radiation,right ventral pathway and body of corpus callosum with vision acuity were 0.486,0.534 and 0.456,respectively,the right ventral pathway had the maximum correlation with visual acuity.Conclusion Isoametropic amblyopia patients shows abnormal structure on bilateral optic radiation,bilateral ventral and dorsal pathway and body of corpus cailosum,these may cause the capability loss of object recognition and spatial position recognition.The FA value of right ventral pathway has the maximum influence on visual acuity.

ObjectiveTo review the major complications in patients after transurethal electrovaporization of the prostate (TUVP) and transurethal plasmakinetic resection of the prostate (PKRP) retrospectively and to analyze the causes and management.MethodsClinical data of 92 cases of patients after TUVP and 226 cases after PKRP were reviewed retrospectively.The patients' relevant circumstances including subjective symptoms,objective indexes and the major long-term complications were followed up about 1-,3-,and 5-year after operation.Different therapeutic methods were chosen according to different causes of the complications.ResultsThere were no significant differences (P ＞ 0.05 ) between TUVP group and PKRP group in IPSS (7.3±2.8,7.2±2.5),QOL (2.6±0.7,2.7 ±0.5),Qmax[ (25.2±3.5),(25.5 ±3.8) ml/s] and PVR [(18.7 ±5.4),(17.8 ±6.3)ml].The incidences of bladder neck restriction was about 1.1％,3.3％,and 2.3％ after 1,3,and5 years in patients after TUVP,and 0.9％,2.7％,and 1.8％ after PKRP accordingly.For urethral stricture,it was about 3.3％,2.2％,and 1.1％ after TUVP,and 3.1％,2.2％,and 0.9％ after PKRP.For residual prostatic hyperplasia,it was about 1.1％,2.2％,and 4.5％ after TUVP,and 1.3％,2.7％,and 3.7％ after PKRP accordingly.ConclusionsTUVP and PKRP are effective and safe treatment options for BPH.The major long-term complications after TUVP and PKRP are bladder neck restriction,urethral stricture and residual prostatic hyperplasia.Regular and long-term follow-up is required for patients after TUVP and PKRP.Different therapeutic methods should be chosen according to different causes of the complications after operation.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of solifenacin in the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome in patients who have undergone transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Methods According to the Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS), 64 cases with OAB symptoms after TURP were randomly assigned into study and control groups with 32 cases in each group. Patients in the study group were treated with solifenacin (5 mg once daily) for a two week period beginning the first day after catheter removal. Patients in the control group were not treated with solifenacin. The mean urgency episodes, micturition episodes, nocturia, urge incontinence, volume voided per micturition, Qmax and OABSS scores were recorded on the 7th and the 14th day after catheter removal. Treatment-emergent adverse events with solifenacin in the study group were recorded and evaluated as well. All cases were followed-up for 8 weeks after catheter removal. Results There were statistically significant differences (P<0.01) in favor of the study group over the control group in the aspect of urgency, micturition episodes, nocturia, urge incontinence, volume voided per micturition and OABSS scores. The incidences of treatment related adverse events were 12.5% (4/32) in the study group with no serious adverse event observed. Conclusions Solifenacin is effective in the treatment of OAB syndrome after TURP and is well tolerated as well. Application of solifenacin should be recommended earlier after TURP.
