Objective To assess quantitatively the association between smoking and the risk of disease and death from pulmonary tuberculosis(TB) by a meta-analysis. Methods Both Chinese and English literatures published from Jan. 1999 to Jun. 2010 about the case-control study of the association between smoking and pulmonary TB were retrieved by searching the electronic resource databases. A meta-analysis was then performed on the comparison and synthesis of findings from included studies. Pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using a software RevMan 4.2. Finally,possible publication bias was tested and a sensitivity analysis was conducted. Results The meta-analysis for total 22 high-quality case-control studies found a pooled OR of 2.56 (95% CI 1. 80 ～3.64) with a random-effects model. Sensitivity analysis showed that pooled OR was 2.56 (95% 1.76 ～3.71 ) by removing two papers of nested case-control study. The OR were 2.13 (95% CI1.76～2.58) and 4.60 (95% CI 1.81～11.69) for disease and death from TB,respectively. After confounding factors,including age and gender,had been controlled the OR was 2.53 (95% CI 1.27 ～5.03 ) whereas 1. 99(95% CI 1.54 ～ 2.56 ) without control of them. Conclusion Smoking can increase the risk of incidence and death of TB. TB control programs and treatment of patients might benefit from interventions aimed at reducing tobacco exposure.

Objective To investigate the value of laparoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of unexplained chronic abdominal pain.Methods From January 2014 to February 2016, clinical data of 56 unexplained chronic abdominal pain undergoing laparoscopic surgery were analyzed retrospectively.Laparoscopic exploration was performed firstly and then the corresponding abnormalities were diagnosed and dealt with accordingly.Results The disease causes were explicit in 48 cases (85.7%), including 25 cases of abdominal adhesions, 8 cases of chronic appendicitis, 2 cases of small intestinal diverticulum, 2 cases of intestinal tuberculosis, 2 cases of lymphoma, 5 cases of endometriosis, 2 cases of tubal adhesions, 1 case of peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer after surgery, and 1 case of appendiceal mucinous adenocarcinoma.Surgical treatment was performed in 43 cases, 3 of whom were converted to laparotomy.There were no postoperative complications in the 56 cases.The follow-up rate was 92.9% (52/56), and lost of follow-up was in 4 cases.The follow-up duration was from 3 months to 3 years (median, 19.4 months).There was 1 death case (peritoneal carcinomatosis).There were 35 cases (62.5%) of complete relief of abdominal pain (no recurrence of preoperative abdominal pain symptoms) and 12 cases (21.4%) of pain relief (preoperative pain decreased or interval extended).The total effective rate was 83.9% (47/56).Conclusion Laparoscopy is of high value in the diagnosis and treatment of unexplained chronic abdominal pain.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of linezolid in the treatment of pulmonary infection with methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).Methods 74 cases of pulmonary infection with MRSA were selected and randomly divided into control group and study group, 37 cases in each group.The control group received norvancomycin(1.0 g per time,twice daily) and the study group received linezolid (600 mg per time, twice daily) , with a consecutive treatment of 2 weeks.The inflammatory factors and related laboratory indicators were detected, the clinical efficacy, bacterial clearance rate and adverse reaction conditions were compared after the treatment.Results Compared with before treatment, serum levels of CRP, IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-αdecreased(P<0.05), levels of serum PCT, ET, NO and Lac decreased(P<0.05), compared with the control group, serum levels of CRP, IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-αin the study group were lower(P<0.05), levels of serum PCT, ET, NO and Lac were lower(P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in clinical efficacy rate between study group and control group (91.89% vs.81.08%), bacterial clearance rate of control group ( 70.27%) was lower than that the study group ( 89.19%) , and the difference was statistically significant ( P <0.05 ) . Conclusion Linezolid in the treatment of MRSA was effective with high safety, and it could reduce serum inflammation index.
