Objective To evaluate the value of preoperative spiral CT (SCT) scanning in the diagnosis and staging of middle-late stage rectal carcinoma. Methods The results of SCT scanning of 34 patients with middle-late stage rectal carcinomas were compared with the pathological examination results and the findings of surgical operation. Results SCT could display the manifestations of middle-late stage rectal carcinoma, such as rectal wall thickening, local tumor mass, tumor invasion of rectal circumference, narrow rectal cava, lymph node enlarging (diameter≥10mm) and tumor distant metastasis. According to Duke's staging, the overall accuracy of SCT staging was 70.6%, and for the stages B1, B2, C, and D the sensitivity was 83.3%, 50%, 66.7%, 78.5%, and the specificity was 62.5%, 44.4%, 57.1%, 100%, respectively. According to TNM staging, the overall accuracy of SCT was 73.5%, and for the stages T2, T3, T4 the sensitivity was 85.7%, 61.5%, 78.6%, and the specificity was 54.5%, 66.7%, 100%, respectively. Conclusion Preoperative SCT could display the invasive range of middle-late stage rectal carcinoma and the tumor lymph nodes metastasis, especially distant metastasis, and had a definite diagnostic value.

ObjectiveTo investigate the current situation of intensive care unit (ICU) inpatients in Infectious Disease Hospital of Nanning to provide a reference for the prevention and control of infectious diseases and construction and development of ICU in such a hospital.Methods The clinical data of inpatients from January 2011 to December 2015 in the Infectious Disease Hospital Affiliated to Guangxi Medical University (that is the Fourth People's Hospital of Nanning City) were retrospectively analyzed, and the distributions of patients with various diseases, ages, of the characteristics of children severe infectious diseases in ICU, the numbers of patients with infectious diseases in general ward and ICU, the average time and daily cost of hospitalization and mortality were conducted.Results During 2011 to 2015, 855 cases in ICU were treated, including 709 cases of infectious diseases, 146 cases of non-infectious disease. The top 5 infectious diseases were ranked as follows: tuberculosis, human acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD), viral hepatitis, tetanus, accounting for 96.47% of the total infectious disease inpatients in ICU; there were 25 cases of other legal infectious diseases, accounting for 3.53%, including dengue fever, measles, malaria, chicken pox, mumps, rabies, typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, scrub typhus, bacillary dysentery, leptospirosis, human infections with highly pathogenic H7N9 avian influenza, epidemic hemorrhagic fever, A H1N1 influenza, and besides, critically ill patients carrying virus (viral hepatitis B and AIDS) in 7 pregnant women, 22 surgical patients, and 117 patients with internal medicine diseases were also admitted and treated. The top 4 infectious diseases causing deaths in ICU were tuberculosis, AIDS, viral hepatitis and HFMD: The infectious diseases with top 6 high mortalities in ICU were as follows: rabies, viral hepatitis, AIDS, tuberculosis and tetanus. The age range was wide in this study, from 73 days to 97 years, among which there were 167 cases of pediatric infectious diseases from pediatric department, accounting for 23.55% of ICU inpatients, being mainly severe HFMD, tuberculosis and severe varicella. From 2011 to 2015, the number of hospitalized patients showed a rising trend, and the average length of stay of patients in general wards presented a downward tendency, but the average time of hospitalization of inpatients with infectious disease in ICU, mortality and daily cost of hospitalization revealed a gradually increasing trend year by year.Conclusions It is of far-reaching significance to master the spectrum of dangerous severe infectious diseases to deal with the infectious disease epidemic situation and outburst with public health events.
