Objective The cyst excision is considered as priority management of the female paraurethral cyst.The purpose of this present study was to explore the feasibility and safety of the two-step excision with treatment for the female paraurethral cyst.Methods Twenty eight consecutive women with paraurethral cyst underwent paraurethral cyst removal were enrolled retrospectively in this study from October 1,2005 to August 12,2008 in Urology Department of West China Hospital.Results All cases were followedup from 6 months to 2 years,no recurrence occurred.No complications such as urethral stricture and urethralvaginal fistula were found.Conclusions The 2-step excision is the reference technique for cure of female paraurethral cyst.Urethra injury was avoided efficiently,because anatomical relationship between cyst and urethra could be clearer when the technique of 2-step excision was applied.

Objective The study aimed to explore the growth status of children under 3 years of age in Nankai district of Tianjin city,provide reference evidence for children's health care work of the local area.Methods Convenience sampling was used to collect physical examination records of children under 3 years old from Wangdingdi hospital in Nankai district of Tianjin city.The records of 2 880 children' physical examination data were collected.Results The median scores of weight for height (WHZ) of children of 6,9,12,18 months old were 0.74 (0.01,1.49),0.73 (0.08,1.38),0.58 (0.11,1.27),0.54 (0.14,1.22),while children of 3,24,36 months old were 0.29 (0.45,1.03),0.17 (0.61,0.95),0.22 (0.36,0.80),the difference between them had statistical significance,x2=21.71,P＜0.05.The median scores of height for age (HAZ) of children of 3,6,9,12,16 months old were 1.05 (0.33,1.76),1.09 (0.32,1.85),1.22 (0.41,2.02),1.00 (0.20,1.79),1.09 (0.19,1.99),while children of 18,24 months old were 0.79 (0.06,1.51),0.86 (0.15,1.56),the difference between them had statistical significance,x2=27.83,P＜0.05.The median scores of weight for age (WAZ) of children of 3,12,18,24,36 months old were 0.88 (0.29,1.46),0.96 (0.31,1.61),0.85(0.19,1.51),0.64 (0.04,1.23),0.91 (0.28,1.54),while children of 6,9 months old were 1.10 (0.43,1.76),1.09 (0.43,1.74),the difference between them had statistical significance,x2=36.95,P＜0.05.The prevalence of stunting,wasting and overweight were 0.3％ (10/2 880),0.8％ (22/2 880) and 9.3％ (267/2 880).The physical condition between premature and full term infants and post-mature infants had statistical significance,t=140.23,100.64,P＜0.05.Conclusions The growth and development status of children in Tianjin Nankai district under 3 years old was generally good,and there was no significant difference between boys and girls,however,overweight has been the most serious problem at present.Compared with full-term and post-mature infants,the physical condition of premature newborn was lower.

Objective To assess the outcome of vesicoureteral reflux after augmentation cystoplasty in patients with neurogenic bladder.Methods Between January 2008 and January 2014,a total of 25 patients,with a hypocompliant bladder associated with vesicoureteral reflux confirmed by video-urodynamics preoperatively,were recruited in this study.They all had undergone bladder augmentation with a generous detubularized segment of bowel at our institution.No effort had been made to correct existing reflux.Preoperatively assessment included urinalysis,kidney function tests,ultrasonography,video-urodynamic evaluation.All patients had various degrees of vesicoureteral reflux.The status of vesicoureteral reflux and bladder function were studied by video-urodynamic.Results Mean follow-up was 2.2 years (range 0.5 to 5.5 years).The video-urodynamics manifested a significant improvement of bladder capacity,diminution of intravesical pressure and resolution of reflux after bladder augmentation.Of the 25 patients,20 (80％) no longer had reflux,3 (12％) had improvement,2 (8％) had no change.Sixteen of 18 with grades Ⅰ to Ⅲ (89％),all refluxing units with grade Ⅳ to grade Ⅴ (100％) showed complete cessation of reflux.Symptomatic urinary infection was not found after surgery.Conclusions Augmentation enterocystoplasty without ureteral reimplantation is effective and adequate for patients with high pressure and hypocompliant neurogenic bladder.Therefore,ureteral reimplantation is not necessary underwent when augmentation enterocystoplasty is recommended to patients with neurogenic bladder and vesicoureteral reflux.

Background Herpes stromal keratitis (HSK) is a common infectious ocular surface disease,with a higher recurrent rate,especially in necrotizing HSK.The diagnosis of HSK primarily depends on signs and symptoms,and specific laboratory diagnostic is lack.Objective This study was to clarify the expression of herpes simplex virus (HSV) in the corneal epithelium scrapings and tears of necrotizing HSK patients.Methods Thirty eyes of 30 patients with necrotizing HSK were enrolled in Nanjing Hospital of Nanjing Medical Hospital from September 2012 to September 2013 under the patient's informed consent.The eyes were examined by slit lamp microscope and scored.HSK patients received local and systemic therapy for 8 weeks and then an oral maintenance dose for 6 months.Corneal epithelial scrapings and tears samples were collected for HSV DNA detection by real-time PCR before and the 1 st,2nd,4th,6th and 8th week after therapy respectively.The difference of HSV positive rate was compared between corneal epithelium scrapings and tears samples using Chi-square test.Multilevel mixed effective model was employed to evaluate HSV concentration change in the samples at various time points in the HSV-positive patients of initial visit.The correlation between HSV concentration and clinical score was analyzed by Spearman rank correlation.Results HSV-positive rate was 46.4％ (13/30) in the corneal epithelial scrapings and 13.3％(4/30) in the tear samples,showing a significant difference between them (P =0.006).HSV-positive rate was significantly lower in the corneal epithelial scrapings 1 week,2 weeks and 4 weeks after treatment than before (P =0.001,0.003,0.004),and no HSV was detected 6 weeks and 8 weeks after treatment.No significant change in HSV-positive rate in tear samples in 1 week and 2 weeks after treatment in comparison with before treatment (P =1.000,0.583),and no HSV was detected after 4 weeks following treatment.The HSV concentration was 2460 (2 165-636500)/ml in initial 13 HSV-positive eyes of corneal epithelial scrapings and 0 (0-1150)/ml in initial 13 HSV-positive eyes of tear samples.Multilevel mixed effective model determined that HSV concentration was significantly lower in corneal epithelial scraping than that in tear (P =0.005),and HSV concentration was reduced with the lapse of time (P =0.001),with the faster rate of decline in the corneal epithelial scrapings (P =0.049).A positive correlation was found between initial HSV concentration and clinical scores (rs =0.844,P =0.000).Conclusiors Real-time PCR appears to be a powerful molecular tool for the detection of HSV in the HSK,especially in corneal epithelial scrapings of lesion.The initial positive outcome of viral DNA in corneal epithelial scrapings predicts a severe clinical procedure.

Objective:To explore the value of tumor diameter to preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) ratio (TCR) in predicting prognosis of patients with non-metastatic colorectal cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 144 patients with colorectal cancer in Hainan Hospital of PLA General Hospital between July 2012 and December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into the low TCR group and the high TCR group according to the optimal value of TCR in predicting the disease-free survival (DFS) determined by the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). The clinicopathological features of both groups were analyzed, and the influencing factors of DFS were also analyzed by using Cox proportional hazard model.Results:ROC analysis showed that TCR had a certain value in predicting DFS, and area under the curve (AUC) was 0.614 (95% CI 0.507-0.722); when the value of TCR was set at 0.690, the sensitivity and specificity of predicting the 3-year DFS rate was 46.3% and 70.9%, respectively. According to 0.690 of TCR, there were 50 cases in the low TCR (< 0.690) group and 94 cases in the high TCR (≥0.690) group. There were no statistically significant differences in the high and low TCR between the two groups for patients stratified by gender, age, tumor location, differentiation degree, invasive depth, lymph node metastasis, TNM stage (all P > 0.05). Univariate analysis showed that TCR, preoperative CEA level and TNM stage played a role in predicting DFS of patients (all P < 0.05), while Cox multivariate analysis indicated that TCR < 0.690 ( HR = 2.369, 95% CI 1.279-4.388, P = 0.006) and Ⅲ stage in TNM stage ( HR = 2.214, 95% CI 1.346-3.640, P = 0.002) were the independent risk factors of influencing DFS (all P < 0.01). The 3-year DFS rate of patients in the low TCR group was lower than that of those in the high TCR group (62.0% vs. 83.0%, P = 0.007). Conclusion:TCR could have a certain value in judging the prognosis of non-metastatic colorectal cancer patients, and low TCR patients have a poorer prognosis.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of initially treated pulmonary tuberculosis(TB)patients with rifampin dependent mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv0341 antibody positive.Methods Forty two initially treated pulmonary TB patients with rifampin dependent mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv0341 antibody positive were included as the study group and 42 initially treated pulmonary TB patients with rifampin dependent mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv0341 antibody as the control group The aspects of clinical symptoms,X-ray imaging manifestations,positive rate in sputum culture of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and rifampin dependent mycobacterium tuberculosis,treatment effects,etc.were compared between the two groups.Results The incidence rates of expectoration,hemoptysis and shortness of breath in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05);the X-ray image manifestations in the study group showed that the lesions were much more involved in two lungs and multiple lung fields(P＜0.05),while thlesions in the control group more confined to single lung and one lung field(P＜ 0.05),moreover the rate appearing pulmonary cavity in the study group was higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05);the sputum culture positive rate of Mycobacterium tuberculosis had no statistical difference between the two groups(P＞0.05),but the sputum culture positive rate of rifampin dependent mycobacterium tuberculosis in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05);as for the treatment effects,the cure rate in the control group was higher than that in the study group(P＜0.05),the ineffective ratio in the control group was less than that in the study group.Conclusion Initially treated pulmonary TB patients with rifampin dependent mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv0341 antibody positive have the characteristics of severe clinical symptoms,wide range lesions,easily appearing cavity,high culture positive rate of rifampin dependent mycobacterium tuberculosis and poor treatment effect.

The aim of the present study is to explore the association between abdominal obesity and chronic kidney disease (CKD) through a systematic review of published studies. Databases including Wanfang data, CNKI, VIP, CBM, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of science and Embase were searched up to July 2021 to collect longitudinal studies published in Chinese and English on the association between abdominal obesity and CKD. In order to avoid omission, reference lists of related articles were also checked manually. After literature selection, data were extracted and study quality was evaluated by the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Statistical analysis of this study was conducted using Stata 11.0 software. Finally, five studies were included in this study. The results showed that abdominal obesity defined by waist circumference was not associated with CKD (OR=1.17,95% CI:0.93-1.48). According to the results of subgroup analyses, whether adjusted body mass index might be part of the reason of heterogeneity. Based on results of this study, the association between abdominal obesity defined by waist hip ratio and CKD, as well as the association between abdominal obesity and CKD in different genders, remains unknown. In conclusion, abdominal obesity might not be associated with incident CKD. However, more studies are needed in the future to explore this association.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The high incidence rate, drug resistance rate and mortality rate of TB infection cause serious social and economic burden in developing countries. Due to high occupational exposure, medical institutions and healthcare workers take the potential risk of TB infection, which have negative impact on the public health and occupational health. As one of the countries with high burden of TB in the world, the occupational exposure of healthcare workers in China is serious, and the infection rate is far higher than that of developed countries. This article reviews the prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection among health care workers and the status quo of occupational protection in medical institutions in China.

The global trends of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection and disease are both rising. Nontuberculous mycobacterial disease(NTMD) is a worldwide health burden associated with increasing morbidity, mortality, and economic costs. Antibiotic therapy is the mainstay of treatment for NTMD.Mycobacterial pathogens are intrinsically resistant to many available antibiotics, making treatment extremely challenging, especially in immunocompromised individuals and patients with underlying chronic lung conditions. Even with lengthy therapy and the use of a combination of antibiotics, only less than half NTMD patients can achieve clinical treatment success, so it is urgent to develop novel anti-NTM antibiotics. This article reviews the research progress on the medication of nontuberculous mycobacterial diseases.

Cow′s milk protein allergy (CMPA) is one of the most common presentations of food allergy seen in early childhood.It is an abnormal immune response caused by cow′s milk protein.CMPA can be clinically subdivided into either immediate-onset IgE mediated or delayed onset non-IgE mediated, or both.At present, concerns regarding the early and timely diagnosis of CMPA have been high-lighted over the years and there are many expert consensus on CMPA in China, but these consensus did not distinguish IgE mediated or non-IgE mediated CMPA.In view of the obvious clinical differences between the two type of CMPA and non-IgE mediated CMPA is more common in infancy, experts focus on pediatric gastroenterology, allergy/immunology, dermatology, nutrition and child healthcare convened by the Allergy Prevention and Control Professional Committee of Chinese Preventive Medicine Association present this guideline to help practitioners in primary care settings to early recognize and make suitable management of non-IgE mediated CMPA in China.The guideline incorporates the cutting-edge international guidance and the actual situation of Chinese children describing in detail the types, clinical features, diagnosis and nutritional intervention of non-IgE mediated CMPA.There are 42 recommendations in 7 categories in total referring to the common questions related to non-IgE mediated CMPA.
