Objective To assess the value of fiberobronchoscopy in the diagnosis of endobronchial tuberculosis. Methods A total of 67 children suspected of endobronchial tuberculosis in our ward from March 2010 to December 2012 had been tested by chest CT and ifberobronchoscopy, mycobacteria culture, liquid-based interlayer vessel technique and FQ-PCR from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and biopsy. Results 50 patients were clinically diagnosed as endobronchial tuberculosis. The positive rate of FQ-PCR (60%) and liquid-based interlayer vessel technique (42%) are higher than that of mycobacteria culture (20%), which showed no signiifcant difference with biopsy. The positive rate of the combined detection (FQ-PCR and liquid-based interlayer vessel technique) is significantly higher than that of mycobacteria culture and biopsy. Conclusions Fiberobronchoscopy is effective for the diagnosis of endobronchial tuberculosis.

Objectives To analyze the relationship between the multi-organ hypoxia damage and the death of acute high altitude sickness severe case. Methods 3220 cases from 1956. 06 to 2005.06 in the hospital were reviewed by questionnaire and the cases in MODS or death were screened out. The cause of death and feature were analyzed by the data as clinical symptom, physical signs and auxiliary examination. Results 281 cases complicated by MODS (include 35 dead cases) were found out by review. The incidence with MODS is 8.73% , and the death rate was 1.09%. The masculine incidence rate of the clinical symptom, physical signs and auxiliary examination in death were 2. 86% ~65. 71% , 2. 86% ~ 100% and 14. 29% ~ 100% , respectively. The MODS incidence in dead cases was 100%. Compared with the curing group, the MODS number, cardiac functional disturbance, brain disorder and renal functional disturbance in the death group had a significantly high incidence rate in all the 281 cases with MODS( P <0.05). With dependability analysis, there were a significantly direct correlation relationship between the death in the severe cases with acute high altitude sickness and the number of MODS ( r = 0. 3473, P < 0.001). Conclusion Hypoxia to the damage of multi-organ function play an important role in death of the severe cases with acute high altitude sickness in high attitude area, and the functional disturbance of important organs as heart, brain and kidney is the most important cause to death.

Objective To research early pathological morphology and clinical significance of perforated duodenal ulcer (PDU) closed after non-surgical treatment. Methods Observed morphological changes of duodenal ulcer (DU) lesion with gastroscopy for 302 patients of PDU with non-surgical treatment in early period,when the perforation closed and measured up the clinical indicators during this hospitalization.Results There were 255 patients to be diagnosed with DU caused the perforation. These lesions were characteristic and shown the PDU closed at the bottom and the deep concave ulcers, except for 1 case which complicated by duodenal fistula. These ulcer types were diverse according to the time difference after treatment. No case of re-perforated ulcers or recurrence of peritonitis caused by gastroscopy. Conclusions Deep concave ulcer with A1 phase mainly is an early pathological manifestations of the DU after treated the PDU with non-surgical method characteristically. The wall of the closure of the serosal side is an original form closed perforated ulcer by non-surgical treatment. The risk of perforation associated with the following factors:( 1 )A single DU is located in the anterior wall region. (2)The shape of two kissing DU. (3)The diameter of DU ≥ 1.1 cm. In this case,early diagnosis by using endoscopy is a safe way.

Objective:To establish an early prediction model with multiple indicators to predict the risk of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis (HLAP).Methods:The clinical data of 92 patients with HLAP admitted to the Emergency Department of our hospital from March 2018 to February 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. Among them, 29 cases deteriorated to SAP and 63 cases did not. Univariate analysis was used to screen predictive indicators related to hyperlipidemic severe acute pancreatitis (HL-SAP), and logistic regression analysis was used to screen independent predictive indicators related to HL-SAP. Then a prediction model was established. The area under (AUC) the receiver operating curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the predictive ability of each predictive indicator and the model for HL-SAP. Bootstrap resampling technology was used to validate the predictive ability of the model.Results:Univariate analysis showed that procalcitonin, D-dimer, C-reactive protein, albumin, cholesterol and CT grade had influence on the progression of HLAP to SAP ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that D-dimer ( OR=2.112, 95% CI: 1.022-4.366; P<0.05), CT grade ( OR=5.818, 95% CI: 2.481-13.643; P<0.01) and cholesterol ( OR=1.146, 95% CI: 1.004-1.308; P<0.05) were independent risk factor of HL-SAP. The AUC of D-dimer, CT grade, cholesterol and the model were 0.802, 0.875, 0.665 and 0.927, respectively. Internal validation of the predictive ability of the model showed that the C-index was 0.927. Conclusions:In the early phase, application of the prediction model that composes D-dimer, CT grade and cholesterol has a good predictive effect on HL-SAP.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of T lymphocyte subsets and cytokines in hyperlipidemia-induced acute pancreatitis (HLAP) and its prognostic value.Methods:This study included 184 patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University from January 2018 to May 2021. Based on disease etiology, there were 92 HLAP cases and 92 non-hyperlipidemia-induced AP (NHLAP) cases. Stratified by disease severity according to 2012 Atlanta classification criteria, the patients were divided into the severe subgroup (SAP) and non-severe subgroup (NSAP). Peripheral venous blood samples were taken from all patients on day 1, 3, and 5 after admission. T lymphocyte subsets were determined by flow cytometry, and cytokines were detected by flow fluorometry. The number of CD4 +% and CD8 +% and the expression of cytokines were compared by Student’s t test or Mann-Whitney U analysis. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for severe AP, and a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed to predict severe AP. Statistical significance was taken as P<0.05. Results:Compared with the NHLAP group, patients in the HLAP group had lower CD4 +%, while higher levels of IL-2 on day 1 ( P<0.05), and had also lower CD4 +%, while higher levels of IL-4, IL-6, and IL-10 on day 3 ( P<0.05). Furthermore, IL-6 and IL-10 levels of the HLAP group were significantly increased compared to the NHLAP group on day 5 ( P<0.05). IL-10 levels in the SAP subgroup were significantly higher than those in the NSAP subgroup on day 1 ( P<0.05). Compared with the NSAP subgroup, the SAP subgroup had elevated levels of IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10 and IFN-γ on day 3 (all P<0.05), and had lower CD4 +%, while increased levels of IL-6 and IL-10 on day 5 (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that IL-10 was an immune indicator of independent risk factor for severe AP in the HLAP group on day 1 ( OR=1.139, 95% CI: 1.038-1.251, P<0.05). Finally, ROC analysis showed that the area under the curve of IL-10 to assess HLAP with severe AP was 0.772, and the best cut-off value for predicting severe AP was 5.6 pg/mL, with a sensitivity of 83.3% and a specificity of 68.8%. Conclusions:Changes of CD4 +% and cytokines are different between the HLAP and NHLAP groups. IL-10 can be used as a predictor of early disease severity in patients with HLAP.
