Journal of Preventive Medicine 2024;36(7):630-632,635
Abstract
In November 2023, the Jinhua Center for Disease Control and Prevention received a report from a company indicating 3 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis. An on-site epidemiological investigation was immediately conducted. A total of 3 cases were reported, with an attack rate of 9.68%. The first case had cough and expectoration for more than a year, and diagnosed with rifampicin-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis on November 16, 2023, and the other 2 cases were his colleagues who were diagnosed with rifampicin-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis and etiology negative pulmonary tuberculosis on November 20 and 21, respectively. Based on the on-site investigation and laboratory test results, it was a cluster of rifampicin-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis. The likely cause of the spread might be the lack of timely medical attention for the first case, which led to the infection of other colleagues through contact transmission. Eight close contacts screened positive for purified protein derivative (PDD) or recombinantMycobacterium tuberculosisfusion protein skin test (EC-ST), given the injection of mycobaeterium vaccae vaccine, and no new cases of tuberculosis detected in the 3-month follow-up. The outbreak highlighted the necessity for the company to enhance health education concerning the prevention and treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis, implement regular health monitoring and enhance the physical examination for employee in order to increase sensitivity to pulmonary tuberculosis.

Objective: To investigate the effect of chloride concentration on the corrosion of Co-Cr alloy and pure Ti in a simulated oral environment. Methods: The electrochemical corrosion tests of pure Ti and Co-Cr alloy were carried out in neutral artiifcial saliva solutions with different NaCl concentrations (0.9%, 2.0%, and 3.0%). hTe morphologies of corroded surface for pure Ti and Co-Cr alloy were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results: hTe changes in the self-corrosion potentials (Ecorr) for pure Ti and Co-Cr alloy in three kinds of artificial saliva solutions was not obvious. However, the self-corrosion current densities (Icorr) of pure Ti were much lower than those of Co-Cr. TheIcorr of Co-Cr alloy increased in a concentration-dependent manner of NaCl, whereas the breakdown potential (Eb) of Co-Cr alloy decreased in a concentration-dependent manner. hTe potential ranged for the breakdown of oxide film (Ev) was shortened in a concentration-dependent manner of NaCl. There was no obviousdifference in theIcorr of pure Ti with different concentrations of NaCl. hTe breakdown potential was not seen according to the polarization curves. Conclusion: In a certain range, the increase of the concentration of Cl- leads to accelerate the corrosion behavior of Co-Cr alloy, but it does not affect pure Ti.

Objective In patients with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum ( PAIVS) without right ventricular-dependent coronaries, catheter techniques including the use of a sniff wire, lasers, and radiofrequency have been the most widely used initial therapy. However, percutaneous perforation and balloon valvuloplasty were associated with higher rate of procedural failure and serious complications. Methods We report our experience with a hybrid approach for pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum, combining surgery and interventional catheterization techniques. Between March 2005 and March 2010, hybrid procedure was carried out successfully in 30 newboms and infants with favorable anatomy. The age ranged from 1 day to 48 months with a mean of (4.59 ±3.21) months. The heart was exposed through median sternotomy. A pursestring suture was placed in the right ventricular outflow tract 2 cm away from the pulmonary trunk. Then a 16-gauge intravenous catheter was punctured through the right ventrical and perforated the atretic PV with the guidance of echocardiography. A guide wire was then inserted into the sheath and used to guide the balloon across the PV. Sequential dilations were performed until a full opening of the PV with the guidance of epicardial echocardiography. In patients < 3 months PDA ligation was performed followed by modified Blalock-Taussig (B-T) shunt. In patients > 3 months PDA ligation was not performed. A modified B-T shunt was inserted if severe systemic oxygen desaturation occurred after PDA ligation. Bidirectional Glenn shunt was performed for severe hypoplasia. Hybrid procedure was achieved in all patients. The simultaneous procedures included 25 cases of PDA ligation. 6 newborns underwent modified B-T shunt placement (3.5 to 5 mm) after pulmonary valvuloplasty and PDA ligation, and 2 patients > 1 month underwent modified B-T shunt. Another 2 patients were selected for univentricular palliative surgery because of a diminutive monopartite right ventricle and bidirectional Glenn procedure was performed. No pericardial effusion or cardiac tamponade was observed in all patients. Another case without PDA ligation underwent a modified B-T shunt because of hypoxemia three days after hybrid procedure, and the rest patients were discharged without any further surgical intervention.During the follow-up period of 1.5 to 62.0 months, 5 patients died. 25 (83.3%) survived and were all in New York Heart Association functional class 1. Peripheral oxygen saturation increased from 0.73 ± 0.08 to 0.94 ± 0.04 (P < 0.05). One patient remains in a single-ventricle pathway, whereas 24 patients achieved a two-ventricle circulation. Results Conclusion Perventricular balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty using a hybrid approach is a safe and feasible procedure for patients with PAIVS.

Objective To further investigate direct effects of dipeptidyl peptidase-4(DPP4) on calcification and to identify responsible signaling pathways in human vascular smooth muscle cells (HVSMC). Methods The effect of DPP-4 on calcification of HVSMC was observed by alizarin red, and Western blot was used to detect whether DPP4 induced calcification-related protein expressions through extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2) pathway. Results The Alizarin red staining results showed that calcified nodules in DPP4 group were significantly increased as compared with control group, similar to calcification group.The protein expressions of osteoprotegerin (OPG), osteopontin (OPN), Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) were stimulated by DPP4 in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The phosphorylation level of ERK1/2 was significantly increased after DPP4 incubation for 15 min (P<0.05). PD98059, an ERK1/2 inhibitor, significantly lowered DPP4-stimulated expressions of calcification-related proteins (P<0.05). Conclusion DPP4 may promote the calcification of HVSMC through ERK1/2 signaling pathways.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the effects of three dentine desensitizers on the surface morphology of freshly exposed dentin and to evaluate their occlusion effects on dentinal tubules using scanning electron microscope (SEM).
METHODS:
A total of 16 isolated human premolar samples, which were prepared to expose dentine, were randomly divided into a control group (n=4), a Hybrid Coat group (n=4), a Prime & Bond NT group (n=4), and a anti-sensitivity toothpaste group (n=4). After treatment with dentine desensitizers, one half of the samples in each group were vertically cleaved. Finally, the surfaces and cross sections of the samples were observed by SEM.
RESULTS:
The exposed tubule was almost occluded in the Hybrid Coat group and the Prime & Bond NT group, while only the majority of tubules could be sealed in the anti-sensitivity toothpaste group. The cross-section images showed that sediments were visible in all groups except the control group.
CONCLUSION
Hybrid Coat and Prime & Bond NT are able to effectively seal tubules, while the effect of anti-sensitivity toothpaste is slightly poor.
