Objective To detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB)and its resistance against rifampin (RIF ) by applying Xpert MTB/RIF assay in the clinical samples from patients with extrapulmonary tuberculosis,and to discuss the value of this assay in extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Methods Totally 300 clinical samples from the patients who were highly suspected with extrapulmonary tuberculosis and hospitalized in Department of Tuberculosis Section,Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center of Fudan University from May 2014 to May 2015 were collected.Smear and fluorescence staining microscopy,MGIT 960 BACTEC liquid culture,Xpert MTB/RIF assay were applied to detect MTB in these samples.Meanwhile,all the patients received the peripheral blood T-cell spot of tuberculosis test (T-SPOT.TB).The sensitivity and specificity of Xpert MTB/RIF assay for MTB and its resistance against rifampin (RIF)in extrapulmonary tuberculosis samples were evaluated.The measurement data of two independent samples were analyzed by using t test and enumeration data were analyzed by usingχ2 test.Results Totally 282 out of 300 clinical samples from patients with extrapulmonary tuberculosis were included in this study,and 62.7% were male with average age of (32.1 ±24.6 )years and 37.3%were female with average age of (37.8 ±21 .0)years.When MGIT 960 BACTEC liquid culture results were considered as standard diagnosis,the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of Xpert MTB/RIF assay were 53.8% (95 %CI :37.4%—69.6%),100.0% (95 %CI :86.3%—100.0%),100.0% (95 %CI :80.8%—100.0%)and 63.3% (95 %CI :48.3%—76.2%), respectively.The sensitivity of Xpert MTB/RIF assay in smear-positive/culture-positive samples was 92.3% (95 %CI :62.1 %— 99.6%),while that in smear-negative/culture-positive samples was only 34.6% (95 %CI :17.9%— 55 .6%).Xpert MTB/RIF assay had advantage for detecting MTB in fine needle aspirates,pus,stool and urine,but not in serous effusion and cerebrospinal fluid.However,the sensitivities of MGIT BACTEC 960 liquid culture,fluorescence smear and T-SPOT.TB were 25 .8%, 21 .8% and 70.2%,respectively,and the specificities were 95 .5 %,90.3% and 51 .6%,respectively. The diagnostic value of Xpert MTB/RIF assay was not significantly different from those of MGIT BACTEC 960 liquid culture and fluorescence smear (χ2 =0.61 and 3.45 ,respectively;both P >0.05 ), while it was significantly different from T-SPOT.TB (χ2 =50.58,P <0.05).The sensitivity of T-SPOT. TB was significantly superior to Xpert MTB/RIF assay,but the specificity was relatively low.The sensitivity and specificity of Xpert MTB/RIF assay in RIF resistance detection were 71 .4% (95 %CI :30.3%—94.9%)and 100.0% (95 %CI :86.7%—100.0%),respectively.Conclusions The sensitivity and specificity of Xpert MTB/RIF assay in detecting MTB in fine needle aspirates,pus,stool and urine are relatively high,but not in serous effusion and cerebrospinal fluid.However,the pros of rapid detection and the ability of detecting RIF resistance are useful for the diagnose of extrapulmonary tuberculosis in clinical settings.

H7N9 avian influenza is the latest subtype of influenza virus to emerge in the world. By April 17, 2013 in Shanghai, a total of 31 confirmed cases were reported, and 11 of these patients died. The epidemiological characteristics and the clinical progress of this new human flu infection are still not clear. Thirteen confirmed patients have now been treated in Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center. Among the first batch of patients, hospitalised at the beginning of April 2013, two who were admitted with the same estimated date of onset of disease had very different outcomes. After active treatment at the Centre, one recovered by April 18, 2013, but one patient entered critical condition and died on April 11, 2013. The clinical and laboratory characteristics in hospital are here analysed and compared to learn more about H7N9 avian influenza. Confirmation that the observed differences are valuable for prognosis and treatment decisions for H7N9 patients awaits authentication by analysis of more patients.

Objective:To assess the value of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of fetal isomerism syndrome in the first trimester.Methods:Sonographic features of 15 fetuses with isomerism syndrome diagnosed in the Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from January 2015 to March 2020 were reviewed. Ultrasonic characteristics in the first trimester were analyzed, and the ultrasonic characteristics of early mid-trimester and pathological anatomical results were combined for comparison.Results:There were 6 cases of left isomerism syndrome (LIS) and 9 cases of right isomerism syndrome (RIS) in the 15 fetues.Increased nuchal translucency(NT) (≥3.0 mm, 6 cases), reversed A wave in ductus venosus (10 cases), and atrio-ventricular valve regurgitation (14 cases) were found during the first trimester. There were 14 cases with abnormal visceral laterality. Of the 15 fetues, 14 cases with cardiac malformations, including 6 cases of functional single ventricle, 8 cases of complete atrioventricular septal defect (CAVSD), and 12 cases with great artery abnormalities. All of the 6 LIS cases had bradycardia, 3 cases had interruption of inferior vena cava (IVC). Six cases of RIS had juxtaposition of descending aorta and IVC, and 1 case of RIS had total anomalous pulmonary vein drainage. The major structural malformations were consistent with the early mid-trimester ultrasound examination or autopsy. Karyotype and chromosomal microarray were available in 12 cases and all were normal.Conclusions:Isomerism syndrome has high positive rate of fetal aneuploidies ultrasonographic marker, especially with the atrio-ventricular valve regurgitation, but the risk of chromosome abnormality is low. Ultrasound screening for fetal cardiac structural abnormalities is beneficial to the early diagnosis of isomerism syndrom in the first trimester.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and prognosis of prenatal ultrasonic diagnosis of fetal isolated vascular ring at 11-13 + 6 weeks. Methods:A total of 36 996 fetuses were selected to compare the results of ultrasound screening at 11-13 + 6 weeks and 20-24 weeks of pregnancy in Guangxi Maternity & Child Healthcare Hospital from January 2016 to January 2020, the reasons for missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis of fetal isolated vascular ring by ultrasonography in the first trimester were summarized. Results:Thirty-five cases were diagnosed as isolated vascular ring in the first trimester, including 19 cases right aortic arch combined with aberrant left subclavian artery with "U-shaped" vascular ring, 7 cases double aortic arch with "O-shaped" vascular ring, and 9 cases aberrant right subclavian artery with "C-shaped" vascular ring. While 155 cases were diagnosed as isolated vascular ring at 20-24 weeks of pregnancy, consisting of 18 cases of combined with aberrant left subclavian artery, 9 cases of double aortic arch, 126 cases of aberrant right subclavian artery and 2 cases of pulmonary artery sling, the diagnosis coincidence rates were 94.74%, 77.78%, 7.14%, 0(Kappa value were 0.97, 0.88, 0.13, 0). For the diagnosis of right aortic arch combined with aberrant left subclavian artery, double aortic arch and aberrant right subclavian artery in the first trimester, the specificities were 99.99%, 100%, 100%, the sensitivities were 100%, 77.78%, 7.14%, the false-positive rates were 0.01%, 0, 0, the false-negative rates were 0, 22.22%, 92.86%, and the Youden′s indices were 0.99, 0.78, 0.07.Conclusions:Right aortic arch combined with aberrant left subclavian artery and double aortic arch have high coincidence rate by ultrasonography in the first trimester, while the diagnostic coincidence rate of isolated aberrant right subclavian artery was low. Ultrasound screening for isolated vascular ring in the first trimester still needs ultrasound examination in the second trimester to exclude the minor cardiac malformations that are difficult to diagnose in the first trimester.
