Objective To evaluate the effect of smecta on acute gastroenteritis induced by the radiotherapy in human cervical cancer.Methods seventy-eight patients under radiotherapy received smecta combined with general medicine to control gastroenteritis. All patients were divided into 2 groups:group A: 40 patients were treated with smecta and general medicine.group B:38 patients were only routinely treated. The routine medicine included prednisone, vitamin B 2 and ciprofloxacin.Results The effective rate for acute gastroenteritis in A group was significant higher than in B group ( P

Objective To study the values of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) for the treatment of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome ( MODS) induced by sepsis. Methods A total of 62 patients with MODS were divided into three groups, namely non-CRRT group, short period CRRT group (24 ~ 48 h) and long period CRRT group( >48 h). Relevant factors including organ function, plasma endothelin-1 (ET-1),sepsis-related organ failure assessment(SOFA)score, average length of survival time and accumulative survival rate were analyzed . Results Compared with non-CRRT group, a statistically significant difference in SOFA score was evident on the 4th day after long period CRRT group and on the 6th day after short period CRRT group. The survival rates of three groups on the third day after treatment were 56. 3% 、 83.3% and 88.9%, respectively (P< 0.05). The survival rates of three groups three weeks after treatment were 53. 1% , 58. 3% and 66.7% , respectively (P>0.05). The average lengths of survival time in three groups were(4.4 ±2.6)days, (9.5 ±6. l)days and (10.3 ±5.4)days, respectively. Compared with non-CRRT group, the average lengths of survival time were longer in the other two groups. The levels of serum ET-1 significantly decreased after CRRT treatment (P<0.05). Conclusions The organ function and survival rate could be improved by CRRT. Average lengths of survival time were significantly prolonged in two CRRT groups(P <0.05). More effective therapeutic results including lower SOFA score and longer average length of survival time were observed when the course of CRRT was extended longer properly.

Objective To study the induction of nitrous oxide(N2 O)and to compare safety and effec-tiveness of conscious sedation by nitrous oxide inhalation and intravenous sedation with propofol for upper gas-trointestinal(UGI)endoscopy.Methods A total of 400 patients undergoing UGI endoscopy in our hospital from April 2013 to October 2013 were randomly assigned to two groups,N2 O inhalation group(n=200)and in-travenous propofol group(n=200).The systolic pressures,diastolic pressures,heart rates and oxygen satura-tion,onset time,procedure duration,degree of sedation,recovery time,length of hospital stay,complica-tions,satisfaction ratings of doctors and patients,and the number of patients willing to accept the examination again were analyzed.Results The mean time of ideal anesthesia state for N2 O was (3. 16 ±0. 65 )min and there was no difference between the male and female(3. 16 ±0. 71)min vs.(3. 16 ±0. 58)min,t=0. 006,P>0. 05).The mean concentration was (43. 68 ±5. 05 )%,which was higher in male than that in female [(45. 3 ±4. 99)% vs.(41. 46 ±4. 30)%,t=3. 042,P<0. 05].Compared with before,the systolic pres-
sures,diastolic pressures,heart rates and oxygen saturation of patients in the propofol group significantly re-duced during the procedure(P<0. 05),while the same measurements excluding oxygen saturation for those in the N2 O group significantly increased(P<0. 05 ).Compared with the propofol group,patients inhaling N2 O had significantly shorter recovery and hospital stay time,but a longer onset time and procedure duration(P<0. 05 ).Complications that occurred in some patients of propofol group included hyoxemia,hypotension,brady-cardia,while the major complication in the N2 O group was nausea.The satisfaction ratings of doctors or pa-tients and the number of patients willing to accept the examination again in N2 O group were smaller than those in propofol group(86 ±3. 7 vs.96 ±2. 6,87 ±2. 8 vs.98 ±1. 2,87%vs.99%,P<0. 05).Conclusion Both conscious sedation by N2 O inhalation and intravenous sedation with propofol are effective for diagnostic UGI en-doscopy,but the safety of the former is superior to the latter.The key to complete the conscious sedation by ni-trous oxide inhalation is to accurately identify the ideal anesthesia state of N2 O.It is significant to pay attention to the nine factors concerning safe and effective sedation during operation.

Objective To investigate the hyperuricemia(HUA)and the correlation of blood lipids of the 60 -70years peple in Renqiu area,and to provide the basis for guiding prevention and treatment of the elderly disease the region.Methods According to the cluster random sampling method,Renqiu permanent residents with the age of 60 to 70 years were selected as a screening object.In the total 5 010 cases screened object,2 163 were male(43.2%),2 847 were female(56.8%),with an average age of(64.29 ±3.05)years.The data of blood uric acid and total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG),high -density lipoprotein(HDL -C),low -density lipoprotein(LDL -C)were collected.The rela-tionship between blood uric acid and blood lipids were analyzed.Logistic regression method was used to analysis the relationship between the hyperuricemia and lipids components.Results The overall prevalence of hyperuricemia in Renqiu was 6.1%(9.8% in male,3.2% in female).In men HUA group,the levels of blood uric acid,TG and LDL-L were 464.10(438.00 -508.65)μmol/L,1.54(1.00 -2.19)mmol/Land 2.66(2.25 -3.22)mmol/L,which were higher than those of normal uric acid group of 294.00(249.90 -338.08)μmol/L,1.13(0.84 -1.65)mmol/L and 2.57(2.12 -3.01)mmol/L(P <0.05).In women HUA group,the levels of blood uric acid,TG and LDL -L were 454.15(434.15 -480.78)μmol/L,2.14(1.47 -3.18)mmol/L and 2.96(2.52 -3.76)mmol/L,which were higher than those of normal uric acid group of 250.80(209.00 -299.80)μmol/L,1.53(1.10 -2.20)mmol/L and 2.87(2.40 -3.33)mmol/L(P <0.05).Logistic multi -factor regression analysis showed that TG was an independ-ent risk factor for hyperuricemia,and that HDL -L and gender were protective factors.Conclusion Hyperuricemia is closely associated with blood lipid,especially with TG and HDL -L,so we could screening HUA by blood lipid,which can reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular disease effectively.

Potassium metabolism in young adult men exercising in the heat for six consecutive days and the effect of potassium deficiency in mice and rats induced by low potassium diet during heat exposure were observed. Increased potassium loss in sweat and lower potassium intake resulted in negative potassium balance. Individuals with a negative potassium balance had lower se- rum potassium levels and higher body temperature after exercise. Potassium deficient mice accomplished less work done (2.372 vs 4.253 Kg.M) but exih-ibited a markedly greater rate of heat gain (1.36 vs 0.87℃/Kg.M) as compared to the controls. The survival rate and cellular energy metabolism also decreasedThese observations suggest that prevention from potassium deficiency must be emphasized during prolonged physical activity under hot environments. According to the linear regression equations between potassium intake and balance, it is proposed that the potassium requirements in mild and medium physical activity in the heat are 40 and 60 mEq/day respectively, and the allowance of potassium in the latter may be 70-80 mEq/day.

Objective To discuss the presentations, pathologic features, diagnosis and treatment of primary synovial sarcoma of the kidney. Methods One case of primary synovial sarcoma of the kidney was reported and the relevant literature was reviewed. A 55-year-old man was admitted with complaint of right abdomen and flank pain for 5 h. Computerized tomography revealed a 12.5 cm × 11.0 cm × 9. 0 cm mass located at the middle and lower pole of the right kidney. The patient was taken radical nephrectomy. Results The diagnosis of primary synovial sarcoma of the kidney in the patient was confirmed by postoperative pathology. Under microscope, tumor was typically mitotically active, monomorphic spindle cells growing in intersecting fascicles or in solid sheets with epithelial differentiation. In some areas a haemangiopericytoma-like pattern was found. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the tumor cells were positive for the markers Vimentin, CD99 and Bcl-2, but CK was negative. The patient died of local recurrence and multi-metastasis at 8 months after surgery. Conclusions Primary synovial sarcoma of the kidney is extremely rare with a high grade of malignancy,and its prognosis is poor. The diagnosis depends on pathological features, Immunohistochemical studies and RT-PCR detection. Radical resection combined with chemicaltherapy is considered to be the most reliable treatment so far.

【Objective】 To analyze the characteristics of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) collection in healthy children, and explore the factors affecting collection efficiency (CE). 【Methods】 The PBMC data, involving 70 episodes of apheresis from 42 children during January 2017 and June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed All children were collected in Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University. 【Results】 Multiple linear regression analysis showed that mononuclear cells (MNC) in donor collections from healthy children were positively correlated with anticoagulant dosage, lymphocyte count and monocyte count (P<0.05), meanwhile, negatively correlated with age and platelet count. The PBMC CE was negatively correlated with age, platelet count, and processed whole blood volume (P<0.05). CD34⁺ cells (×10⁷ /kg)was negatively correlated with age, meanwhile, positively correlated with numbers of collection and processed whole blood volume(r=-0.79). No statistical differences in red blood cell count, platelet count, lymphocyte count, monocyte count of healthy child donors were notable before versus after apheresis. 【Conclusion】 MNC can be collected effectively in children of different ages. The PBMC collection efficiency was related to age. Meanwhile, the higher the lymphocytes and monocytes were before apheresis, the more MNC were collected. The efficiency of MNC collection would decrease when the apheresis volume of the children exceeded their total blood volume twice. However, the absolute value of CD34+ cells in the final yields would increase.

【Objective】 To study the changes of blood coagulation function of donors before and after peripheral blood stem cell(PBSC)mobilization and collection, so as to evaluate the safety of the current scheme. 【Methods】 30 donors who received PBSC mobilization and collection in Zhujiang Hospital from October 2018 to October 2020 were enrolled. After mobilization by G-CSF, the correlation between coagulation function, blood routine indexes and TEG indexes of donors was analyzed, and the influence of PBSC mobilization and collection on coagulation function of donors was evaluated. 【Results】 The TEG indexes R(min), K(min), α(°), MA(mm) and CI before and after PBSC collection were 6.12±1.18 vs 7.25±2.16, 1.98±0.41 vs 2.45±0.64, 62.82±4.98 vs 57.3±6.67, 60.93±3.26 vs 55.37±4.41, and -0.31±1.40 vs -2.32±2.18, respectively(P<0.05), suggesting that there was no risk of hypercoagulability after PBSC mobilization and collection. The peak values of WBC (×10⁹/L), Plt (×10⁹/L) and Hb (g/L) were 62.02, 357 and 162, respectively, which indicated that the blood routine indexes after PBSC mobilization and collection were in the safe range. After PBSC collection, the CI value of 26.7% (8/30) donors was less than -3, showing hypocoagulability. 【Conclusion】 The current mobilization and collection scheme of PBSC has little effect on the coagulation function. Most of the donors had no risk of hypercoagulability, but a few showed a trend of hypocoagulability after PBSC collection.

This report presented the endemic status of schistosomiasis and analyzed the data collected from the national schistosomiasis prevention and control system and national schistosomiasis surveillance program in the People’s Republic of China in 2022. Among the 12 provinces (municipality and autonomous region) endemic for schistosomiasis, Shanghai Municipality, Zhejiang Province, Fujian Province, Guangdong Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region continued to maintain the achievements of schistosomiasis elimination, and Sichuan and Jiangsu provinces maintained the criteria of transmission interruption, while Yunnan, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangxi and Hunan provinces maintained the criteria of transmission control by the end of 2022. A total of 452 counties (cites, districts) were found to be endemic for schistosomiasis in China in 2022, with 27 434 endemic villages covering 73 424 400 people at risk of infections. Among the 452 endemic counties (cities, districts), 75.89% (343/452), 23.45% (106/452) and 0.66% (3/452) achieved the criteria of elimination, transmission interruption and transmission control of schistosomiasis, respectively. In 2022, 4 317 356 individuals received serological tests for schistosomiasis, and 62 228 were sero-positive. A total of 208 646 individuals received stool examinations for schistosomiasis, with one positive and another two cases positive for urine microscopy, and these three 3 cases were imported schistosomiasis patients from Africa. There were 28 565 cases with advanced schistosomiasis documented in China by the end of 2022. Oncomelania hupensis snail survey was performed in 18 891 endemic villages in China in 2022 and O. hupensis snails were found in 6 917 villages (36.62% of all surveyed villages), with 8 villages identified with emerging snail habitats. Snail survey was performed at an area of 655 703.01 hm² and 183 888.60 hm² snail habitats were found, including 110.58 hm² emerging snail habitats and 844.35 hm² re-emerging snail habitats. There were 477 200 bovines raised in the schistosomiasis endemic areas of China in 2022, and 113 946 bovines received serological examinations for schistosomiasis, with 204 sero-positives detected. Among the 131 715 bovines received stool examinations, no positives were identified. In 2022, there were 19 726 schistosomiasis patients receiving praziquantel chemotherapy, and expanded chemotherapy was performed in 714 465 person-time for humans and 234 737 herd-time for bovines in China. In 2022, snail control with chemical treatment was performed at an area of 119 134.07 hm², and the actual area of chemical treatment was 65 825.27 hm², while environmental improvements were performed at an area of 1 163.96 hm². Data from the national schistosomiasis surveillance program of China showed that the mean prevalence of Schistosoma japonicum infections was both zero in humans and bovines in 2022, and no S. japonicum infection was detected in O. hupensis snails. These data demonstrated that the endemic status of schistosomiasis continued to decline in China in 2022, with 3 confirmed schistosomiasis patients that had a foreign nationality and all imported from Africa, and the areas of snail habitats remained high. Further improvements in the construction of the schistosomaisis surveillance and forecast system, and reinforcement of O. hupensis survey and control are required to prevent the re-emerging schistosomiasis.

To understand the progress of national schistosomiasis elimination program of China in 2023 and summarize the lessons and experiences, data on the endemic status of schistosomiasis and national schistosomiasis surveillance results in the People’s Republic of China were collected and analyzed at a national level. By the end of 2023, Shanghai Municipality, Zhejiang Province, Fujian Province, Guangdong Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region continued to consolidate the achievements of schistosomiasis elimination, and Sichuan and Jiangsu provinces maintained the criteria of transmission interruption, while Yunnan and Hubei provinces were identified to achieve the criteria of transmission interruption in 2020, and Anhui, Jiangxi and Hunan provinces achieved the criteria of transmission interruption in 2023. A total of 451 counties (cites, districts) were found to be endemic for schistosomiasis in China in 2023, including 26 250 endemic villages covering 73 034 500 residents at risk of infections. Among the 451 endemic counties (cities, districts), 78.49% (354/451) achieved the criteria of schistosomiasis elimination and 21.51% (97/451) achieved the criteria of transmission interruption, respectively. In 2023, a total of 4 216 643 individuals received immunological tests, with 47 794 sero-positives identified, and a total of 184 216 individuals received parasitological examinations, with 4 egg-positives detected. A total of 27 768 cases with advanced schistosomiasis were documented in China by the end of 2023. In 2023, 539 548 bovines were raised in schistosomiasis-endemic areas of China, and 125 440 bovines received immunological tests, with 124 sero-positives detected, while no egg-positives were identified among the 133 508 bovines receiving parasitological examinations. In 2023, snail survey was performed at an area of 641 339.53 hm² and 184 819.77 hm² snail habitats were identified, including 51.53 hm² emerging snail habitats and 642.25 hm² reemerging snail habitats. In 2023, there were 20 198 schistosomiasis patients receiving praziquantel chemotherapy, and 598 183 person-time individuals and 283 954 herdtime bovines were given expanded chemotherapy. In 2023, snail control with chemical treatment was performed in 116 347.95 hm² snail habitats, and the actual area of chemical treatment was 65 690.89 hm², while environmental improvements were performed in snail habitats covering an area of 1 334.62 hm². The national schistosomiasis surveillance results showed that the mean prevalence of Schistosoma japonicum infections were both zero among humans and bovines in 2023, and no S. japonicum infection was detected in snails. These data demonstrated that transmission interruption of schistosomiasis had been achieved across all endemic provinces in China in 2023, and the endemic status of schistosomiasis tended to be stable, while advanced cases were predominant among all schistosomiasis cases. However, the areas of snail habitats remained high and cattle re-raising was very common in some regions. Intensified schistosomiasis surveillance and forecast and snail control in high-risk areas are needed.
