Objective To investigate the prevalence, clinical features and complications of gastrointestinal diverticula in Chinese people. Methods 551 patients with gastrointestinal diverticula were analyzed retrospectively. Results Among the 551 patients, 58.6% were over 60 years, and 11.6% were below 40 years. The incidence of esophageal diverticula, gastric diverticula, duodenal diverticula, jejunoileal diverticula and diverticula of the large intestine was 2.5%, 1.8%, 71.7% , 12.7% and 11.3% respectively. There were 6 and 11 patients, 9 and 6 patients, 69 and 271 patients, 1 and 24 patients, and 21 and 33 patients who were diagnosed by endoscopy and double contrast barium examination respectively. Among the 14 esophageal diverticula patients, the incidence of midesophageal diverticula (78.6%) was higher than that in pharyngoesophageal diverticula (11.2%). Among the 62 diverticula of the large intestine patients, the incidence of right side diverticula (56.5%) was higher than that of left side diverticula (38.7%). Almost esophageal diverticula and gastric diverticula were asymptomatic, while about half of the diverticula of the small and large intestine was symptomatic. The incidence of cholelithiasis and pancreatitis in patients with duodenal diverticula was 34.2% and 10.1% respectively. And the incidence of cholelithiasis and pancreatitis in descending segment was significantly higher than that in non descending segment ( P

Objective　To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis among students in Fuzhou City in 2022 and the screening of their close contacts, so as to provide scientific basis for further prevention and control of tuberculosis in schools. Methods　A descriptive method was used to investigate the campus tuberculosis epidemic situation in 87 colleges and universities in Fuzhou, and 96 cases of confirmed student patients were investigated individually, and 7 488 close contacts were screened according to the requirements of the Guidelines for tuberculosis Prevention and Control in Chinese Schools, and the results were analyzed. Results　In 2022, a total of 96 students with pulmonary tuberculosis were found in Fuzhou City, with a male to female ratio of 1.04∶1 and an average age of 17.92 ± 4.16 years. The incidence rate of active pulmonary tuberculosis and the incidence rate of bacterial positive pulmonary tuberculosis among university and college students were higher than those among other types of schools, separately 10.56/100 000 and 5.18/100 000, with significant differences (χ2=75.22, P<0.05; χ2=38.69, P<0.05). The proportion of student patients was the highest in the first quarter (34.38%, 33/96). There were 44 cases of delayed visits, with a delay rate of 45.83% (44/96). The diagnosis was delayed in 15 cases, with a delay rate of 15.63% (15/96). Screening of 7 488 close contacts, of which 5 339 were screened with chest radiography and 5 active cases were found. A total of 7 124 patients were screened by the tuberculin skin test (TST test), the positive rates of TST test results for close contacts of pathogenic and no pathogenic patients were 25.97% (1 135/4 371) and 21.10% (581/2 753), respectively. The strong positive rates were 6.15% (269/4 371) and 3.01% (83/2 753), respectively, with statistically significant differences (χ2=21.84, P<0.05; χ2=35.44, P<0.05). Conclusion　In 2022, the incidence of tuberculosis in schools in Fuzhou City was dominated by students from universities and colleges, with the highest incidence rate in the first quarter. The delay in seeing a doctor and diagnosis of student patients was serious. Timely and effective screening of close contacts (especially the close contacts of patients with bacterial positive pulmonary tuberculosis) can reduce the spread of tuberculosis in schools.

Objective To investigate environmental risk factors associated with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).Methods A retrospective study was carried out from Feb 2005 to Apr 2006.A total of 108 cases with PCOS and 108 patients without PCOS(control group)were interviewed using a designed questionnaire.Results Univariate analysis of environmental factors indicated that risk factors related to PCOS were:occupation,education,disposable plastic cup for drinking,cooking oil fume and indoor decoration,all of which were significantly related to PCOS(P

Objective To investigate the protective effect of Qingkailing (QKL) in cardiac muscle's injury induced by endotoxin and discuss the mechanism from the inflammatory factors expression and free radical metabolism. Methods A total of 48 male ICR mice were divided into normal group, model group, low dose group and high dose group, 12 mice in each group. The QKL(9 ml/kg) was administered via gavage daily for 4 days in low dose group, the QKL (18 ml/kg) was administered via gavage daily for 4 days in high dose group, the equivalent volume of saline was administered via gavage daily for 4 days in normal group and model group. At the fifth day all groups except normal group, received intraperitoneal injection of LPS 0.2 ml (40 mg/kg), and the normal group received equivalent volume of saline. Intragastric administrated again 0.5h, 8h and 20 h after the model establishment. We took blood from hearts 1 hour after the last administration. The QR-PCR was used to detect the expression of inflammatory factors. The Elisa was used to detect IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, MDA, SOD and GSH-Px. Results Compared to the model group, the content of TNF-α (68.75 ± 7.73 pg/ml, 62.03 ± 16.09 pg/ml vs. 116.06 ± 21.06 pg/ml), IL-1β (110.84 ± 40.61 pg/ml, 105.51 ± 38.21 pg/ml vs. 167.53 ± 54.82 pg/ml) and IL-6 (68.78 ± 20.57 pg/ml, 59.71 ± 13.59 pg/ml vs. 108.80 ± 28.21 pg/ml) in low dose group and high dose group were significantly decreased (P<0.01). The expression of TNFα mRNA (1.42 ± 0.15, 1.30 ± 0.46 vs. 3.00 ± 0.82),IL-1β mRNA (1.20 ± 0.57, 1.01 ± 0.40 vs. 2.32 ± 1.39) and IL-6 mRNA (1.53 ± 1.10, 1.16 ± 1.09 vs. 4.12 ± 2.23) in low dose group and high dose group were significantly decreased (P<0.01 or P<0.05). The content of MDA (10.64 ± 2.91 nmol/mg, 11.36 ± 3.02 nmol/mg vs. 15.21 ± 2.31 nmol/mg) in low dose group and high dose group were significantly decreased (P<0.01). The content of SOD (282.32 ± 35.90 U/mg, 325.07 ± 34.76 U/mg vs. 249.01 ± 45.22 U/mg) and GSH-Px (48.26 ± 17.13 U/g, 49.66 ± 22.11 U/g vs. 26.47 ± 20.37 U/g) in low dose group and high dose group were significantly increased (P<0.01). Conclusions The QKL plays a protective role in myocardial injury induced by endotoxemia. Its mechanism may be associated with down-regulation of expression of inflammatory factors, reducing free radicals and improvement of antioxidation.

Objective To research the pathogeny and the electromyographic characteristics of myokymia.Methods The clinical features and electromyography of 42 elderly patients with myokymia were examined. Results Symptomatic myokymia (SM) in 27 cases was caused by low salt syndrome, thyrotoxemia, urinaemia, chronic wasting diseases (such as carcinoma of the stomach or liver), brachial plexus neuropathy, lead poisoning, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuritis, succinylcholine narcosis, restless leg syndrome or Isaac's syndrome.Symptomatic facial myokymia was caused by neoplasm of the brain stem or in posterior cranial fossa, multiple sclerosis or other causes. Primary myokymia ( PM ) in 15 cases involved idiopathic generalized and benign myokymia.Compared with PM, SM was more constant and powerful. Myokymia potential appeared in the electromyograms of 42 of the patients. The majority of patients with SM had accompanying myotonic discharge. Conclusion The pathogeny and electromyographic characteristics of symptomatic myokymia are different from the primary stage.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of Shuanghuang tongfeng capsule(SHTF) on the gouty arthritis.METH-ODS:The gouty arthritis model of rats and rabbits were induced using sodium urate(MSU). The swollen degree of the rat foot,and the amount of synovial fluid,the leucocyte count in synovial fluid and the degree of inflammation of the synovial tissue of joints in rabbits were measured.The effect of SHTF on gouty arthritis was observed. RESULTS:The swollen degree of the foot of rat was lessened obviously by SHTF capsule(5、10、20 g?kg-1,ig).The amount of synovial fluid and the leucocyte count in synovial fluid of the rabbit were decreased significantly by SHTF capsule (4、8、16 g?kg-1,po).The inflammation of the synovial tissue in rabbits was improved obviously by SHTF capsule (8 and 16 g?kg-1,po). CONCLUSION: SHTF capsule have remarkable protective effect on the gouty arthritis induced by sodium urate.

Objective To explore the invasion effect of CXCR3 overexpression on T lymphoblastic leukemia (Jurkat cells) with chemokine receptors. Methods Mouse CXCR3 was amplified by RT-PCR and overexpressing CXCR3 lentivirus carrying GFP&Puromycin (puro) was constructed. CXCR3 expression on infected Jurkat cells surface was detected by FCM. Constructed cells were seeded in Transwell invasion model to study whether CXCR3 overexpression would increase the invasion or not. Results GFP expression on Jurkat cells was less than 10% after 96 h lentivirus infection. CXCR3 expression was 90% higher than vector group , and GFP expression reached 90% after screening. Therefore, Jurkat cells with stable overexpression of CXCR3 were successfully constructed. Invasion rate of Jurkat CXCR3 cells was [(12.71 ± 1.03)%], which was significant higher than that of vector control group [(6.82 ± 0.49)%], (P < 0.0001). Conclusions CXCR3 expression on leukemia cells is closely associated with leukemia invasion. The increase of CXCR3 expression can enhance the invasion of leukemia cells, and may be one of the mechanisms of T lymphoblastic leukemia invasion.

Objective To evaluate the clinical features of and appropriate surgical modality for congenital choledochal cyst(CCC). Methods Retrospective study on the clinical data of 85 surgically treated CCC cases was made. Results Among the 85 cases 12 were found malignant in character(14%). Out of the 29 cases in which the junction of pancreaticobiliary ductal system was showed by image, junction anomaly was identified in 26 cases. Surgical correction was applied to 83 cases with cyst excision and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy as the main procedure. External drainage of the CCC was adopted first in 4 cases to tide the patients over serious infection, before second stage definite radical resection was carried out. Excellent and good result were achieved on follow-up in 47 out of 60 CCC cases undergoing CCC resection and Roux-en-Y reconstruction, while only one out of 6 undergoing CCC internal drainage enjoyed fair result. Conclusions External drainage is mandatory for CCC patients with severe infection. The total choledochal cyst excision, with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunstomy is effective in the treatment of CCC.
