Objective To review and analyse the CT distinguishing features of pulmonary cryptococcosis (PC)for improving the level of image diagnosis of the disease.Methods CT images and clinical details of 19 patients with biopsy or surgery pathology con-firmed PC were reviewed and analysed.Results Nodules or masses were presented in 10 cases,in which most casescases were nod-ules,lesions ranged in diameter from 1 cm to 2.5 cm.Multiple nodules were easy to fuse.Consolidation were presented in 6 cases,with high attenuation and clear border.3 cases were mixed type,with nodule,mass consolidation and ground glass attenuation.The lesions were mostly located in the inferior lobes(47%)and peripheral lung(68%).The features of pleural thickening,air bronchus sign,halo sign and cavitations were observed in 42%,36%,26%,21% of patients respectively.Conclusion CT findings of PC are diversity.The lesions are mostly located in the inferior and peripheral lung.Lesions are mild to moderate enhanced.Pleural thickening,air bronchus sign,halo sign,cavitations will be useful for the diagnosis.

Edema, as one of common clinical diseases, could be treated by taking medicines and adopting external therapies with traditional Chinese medicines (TCM). In recent years, there have been many clinical and basic studies concerning external therapies with TCM on edema Data showed that the external therapies are mostly composed of such purgating drugs as Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, Natrii Sulfas and Pharbitidis Semen, heat-clearing drug such as Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex and resuscitation-inducing drug such as Borneolum Syntheticum. The study showed that ingredients of external therapies did not pass through hilum and hepatic system, and thus avoided the first pass effect of livers. They enabled effective components of drugs to be rapidly absorbed through pores and skins, strengthened the effect against edema, shortened the treatment course, decreased side effects, and were convenient and inexpensive. External therapies with TCM could play unique advantages in inhibiting edema in the future clinical studies.

Objective To investigate the effect of total sleep deprivation (TSD) shown in the electroencephalogram (EEG) power spectra in healthy young men. Method 20 healthy young male volunteers (19~22 years old) were subjected to 50 hours of TSD. EEGs were recorded 8 times (6 hours intervals) during TSD. EEG power was calculated for six bands at all 16 derivations.Results 50 hour TSD induced an increase in ? power at the other derivations except both occipitals ( P

For the determination of the usefulness of the pulsed Doppler echocardiographic diagnosis of ASD. We evaluated 185 children with congenital heart disase by subxiphoid approach. ASD was diagnosed when abnormal flow was recorded in right atrium. ASD was proved by surgery in 33 of 185 children with congenital heart disease, and all children had sugical correction of their heart deformities. On pulsed Doppler echocardiographic exmination, abnormal flow was recorded in 32 of the 33 children with ASD and 3 of 152 children without ASD. This pulsed Doppler echocardiographic diagnosis of ASD by abnormal flow in right atrium has sensitively of 97% and specificity of 98%. High correlation was found between the estimates of Qp/Qs ratio by Doppler and Fick method(r=0.90, P<0.01). So we concluded that pulsed Doppler echocardiographic diagnosis of ASD was specific and sensitive method and careful pulsed Doppler echocardiographic examination may avoid the unnecessary cardiac catheterizetion in patients with ASD.

Objective To explore the role of monitoring the cellular immune function in preventing and treating the fungal infection in the recipients of liver transplantation. Methods 679 cadaveric liver transplantations (from Jan. 2004 to Jan. 2010) were retrospectively studied. All the cases were divided into 3 groups according to different treatments and preventing regimens. The patients in groups A, B, C were treated based on the clinical experiences (394 cases), T lymphocyte subsets counting (151 cases), and combination of ATP values of CD4+ T cell and T lymphocyte subsets counting (134 cases), respectively. The infection, mortality and acute rejection rate were analyzed. The relationship between fungal infection and cellular immune function was investigated.Results The fungal infection rate in groups A, B, and C was 28. 9 %, 21.2 %, and 19. 4 % (P<0. 05), the morbidity rate was 16. 7 %, 12. 5%, and 3. 8% (P>0. 05), and the acute rejection rate was 28. 4 %, 17. 2 %, and 13. 4 % (P<0. 01), respectively. The CD4+ T lymphocyte counting in all cases of fungal infection was (147±43)×106/L. The morbidity could reach 50. 0 % when the CD4+ T lymphocyte counting < 100 ×106/L, while it was 2. 4 % when the counting was between (100-200) ×106/L (P<0. 01). The CD4+ T lymphocyte counting had no linear relation with the ATP value.The ATP value in fungal infection cases was (117 ± 61)μg/L. Conclusion The cellular immune function test could be quantitatively evaluated according to the T lymphocyte subsets and ATP value of CD4+ T lymphocyte. And individualized immunosuppressive therapy could be adjusted accordingly.Therefore, cellular immune function could be instructive in preventing and treating the fungal infection after liver transplantation.

Objective To analyze the changes and characteristics of cancer incidence and mortality among Jiaxing residents in the past 6 years,and to provide evidence for the prevention and control of cancer incidence and mortality.Methods Registered malignant tumor data from the Zhejiang Chronic Disease Information Monitoring and Management System were collected and analyzed based on the International Statistical Classification of Diseases (ICD-10).The statistical indexes used for analyses included crude incidence,standardized incidence,crude ortality,standardized mortality,potential years of life lost (PYLL),average years of life lost (AYLL),rate of potential years of life (PYLL‰) and so on.Results From 2010 to 2015,the crude incidence,the standardized incidence,the crude mortality,and the standardized mortality were 342.52/105,240.89/105,194.71/105 and 126.27/105,respectively.The crude incidence and mortality for males were both higher than those for females(378.44/105 vs.307.49/105,x2=763.06,P<0.01;255.31/105vs.135.62/105,x2-3 814.11,P<0.01).The PYLL,AYLL and PYLL‰ of residents in Jiaxing were 248,307 years,6.16 years and 12.00‰,respectively.The PYLL‰for males was significantly higher than that for females(x2=37073.85,P<0.01).The AYLL for females was 6.50 years,higher than that for males(5.98 years)(t =125.15,P<0.01).The incidence of malignant tumors increased with age,especially in the older than 40 age group,with the older than 80 age group showing the highest rate at 1 779.01/105 (x2 =38 840 907,P < 0.01).Rates for Lung cancer (70.59/105),colorectal cancer (39.86/105),liver cancer (29.14/105),breast cancer(26.73/105) and stomach cancer (26.00/105) were the most common malignant tumors in Jiaxing.Conclusions The morbidity and mortality of malignant tumors are showing signs of rising and the incidences of lung cancer and gastrointestinal cancer are particularly pronounced in Jiaxing.In consequence,measures for the prevention and control of malignant tumors should be developed with clearly defined objectives and research on the pathogenesis of malignant tumors should be stepped upto reduce the incidence and mortality of malignant tumors.

OBJECTIVE:To explore approaches on how to perfect and standardize the invitation for bid in the centralized drug stocking.METHODS:Problems in the bidding such as once bidding,dead price,contradiction between prices and quality and that between bidding and stocking of drugs were solved by applying methods such as blocky bidding,stratified bidding and approval of double-certifications,etc.RESULTS&CONCLUSION:Positive effects of invitation for bid in the centralized drug stocking should be encouraged.Invitation for bid in the centralized drug stocking should be available with the premise of giving profits sincerely and with the cooperation and harmonization of multi-sides as a guarantee.The false high drug price can be attributed to many factors,which should be fathered comprehensively.
