Objective To explore the curative effect of acyclovir combined with pidotimod in treatment of adult varicella.Methods 80 adult patients with varicella in our hospital were randomly divided into two groups.40 cases in group A were intravenously injected acyclovir.40 cases in group B were intravenously injected acyclovir combined with oral pidotimod.The time of herpes blisters drying and completely crusted were observed in two groups.Results The time of herpes blisters drying and completely crusted of B group was shorter than A group.And the differences were statistically significant(P ＜0.01).Conclusion Acyclovir combined with pidotimod in treatment of adult varicella can significantly shorten the healing time,and show better curative effect than single use of acyclovir.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and effective treatment of patients with severe type A H1N1 flu in Wenzhou. Methods The clinical data of 42 hospitalized patients with severe type A H1N1 flu were analyzed and the clinical features were summarized. Results A total of 42 patients with severe type A H1N1 flu all began with fever and cough. The symptoms of expectoration, pharyngalgia, chilly accounted for 92. 9%, 90. 5% and 42. 9%, respectively. The peripheral leucocyte counts were normal or reduced. C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate levels both increased in 30 patients (71.4%). About 95.2% (40/42) patients had changes of pulmonary imaging. All of the patients were treated with oseltamivir and effective antibiotic drugs as well as symptomatic management. No patients was treated with glucocorticoid. The patients with underlying diseases were given proper treatment. Three cases were treated with antifungal therapy and 3 pregnant patients were timely terminated of pregnancy. Conclusions Severe type A H1N1 flu progresses rapidly and the lower respiratory tract is involved soon after onset. Therefore, the patient should be diagnosed early and treated promptly after presenting fever, which will lead to good prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the value of the differential diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary cancer using contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS).MethodsTotally 59 patients selected with peripheral pulmonary lesions(27 primary lung cancer and 32 non-lung cancer cases including 12 pulmonary abscess,19 tuberculosis and 1 hemangioma subjects)were examined by traditional gray-scale sonography and color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI),the lesions shape,borders,echo characteristic and blood flow were recorded first,and then the contrast enhancedsonographicstudies were performed.The process of contrast enhancement and regression was observed and the parameters were quantitative analyzed by acoustic quantification analysis software (ACQ).Finally,surgery or biopsy were conducted.Results CEUS had higher detection rates of blood flow signals than CDFI( P ＜0.001 ).There were significant differences (P ＜ 0.01) between the primary lung cancer group and the non-lung cancer group regarding parameters peak intensity ( PI ) and enhanced intensity ( EI ).By drawing the ROC curve and obtaining the area under the curve:a cut-off value＞15.7 dB of PI in assessing lung cancer had higher sensitivity and specificity (66.7 ％,81.2％).A cut-off value＞ 10.77 dB of EI in assessing lung cancer had higher sensitivity and specificity (81.5％,68.8％).Conclusions CEUS is helpful to identify necrotic tissue in biopsy and improving the biopsy positive rate.The parameters of PI and EI can help to identify the primary lung cancer with the Nonlung cancer.

Objective To investigate the isolation rate, distribution and trend of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in Wenzhou during 2014 to 2016.Methods Sputum or alveolar lavage specimens of patients with suspected pulmonary tuberculosis were collected for mycobacteria culture from January 2014 to December 2016.Mycobacterium culture positive strains were further identified by gene chip, 16S rRNA and hsp65 gene sequencing.SPSS 19.0 software was used to analyze the data.Results After excluding repetitive strains, 3 295 mycobacteria strains (MTB) were isolated from respiratory specimens, included 3 032 mycobacterium tuberculosis complex strains, 238 NTM strains, 20 Gordon genera strains, 3 Nocardia genera strains and 2 Tsukamurella genera strains.The proportion of NTM among confirmed mycobacteria was 8.5％ (86/1 006), 6.7％ (72/1 079) and 6.8％ (80/1 185) in 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively (x2 =2.459,P ＞ 0.05).The overall prevalence of NTM was 7.3 ％ (238/3 270).There were 15 species of NTM, and the most common NTM strain was Mycobacterium intracellulare (52.5％,125/238), followed by Mycobacterium abscessus (22.7％, 54/238) and Mycobacterium avium (10.1％, 24/238), other species were only accounted for 14.7％ (35/238).The ranking of Mycobacterium avium went up rapidly from the fifth in 2014 to the second in 2016 (x2 =18.259, P ＜ 0.01), while proportion of Mycobacterium abscess, dropped from 34.9％ (30/86) in 2014 to 17.5％ (14/80) in 2016 (x2 =7.335, P＜0.01).Among patients from whom the NTM strains were isolated, 56.7％ (135/238) were male and most of them were aged 45 years or above (79.8％, 190/238).Conclusions In the past three years, the trend of NTM isolation rate in Wenzhou is steady.The most prevalent NTM species is Mycobacterium intracellulare, followed by Mycobacterium abscessus and Mycobacterium avium.Mycobacterium avium shows a continuously upward trend, while the separation of Mycobacterium abscessus shows a downward trend.

Objective To elaborate the changes of the soluble B cell-activating factor of the tumor necrosis factor family (BAFF) in the peripheral blood of chronic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients ,and to study the correlation between the soluble BAFF in HIV-infected patients and the progressions of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).Methods Fifty untreated HIV outpatients and 30 healthy controls were recruited .According to the counts of CD4+T lymphocytes ,HIV-infected patients were divided into three groups ,＜ 200 cells／μL group , (200 － 350 ) cells／μL group and ＞350 cells／μL group .B cell counts and the BAFF levels were compared among the three groups and the healthy controls .The correlation analysis was conducted for the levels of BAFF ,the counts of CD4+T lymphocytes and B cells ,and viral load in HIV-infected patients .The value of BAFF in staging of HIV disease was identified by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results The B cell counts were (90.3 ± 43.1)cells／μL in ＜200 cells／μL group ,(114 .4 ± 28 .8) cells／μL in (200 －350) cells／μL group ,and (162 .1 ± 29 .5) cells／μL in ＞350 cells／μL group and (307.1 ± 97 .0) cells／μL in healthy controls ,which was significantly different among the four groups (F＝47.92 ,P＜0.05).The concentrations of BAFF in the four groups were (1 737.5 ± 719.7) ,(962.8 ± 341.1) ,(859.8 ± 270.4) ,and (456.9 ± 163.7) ng／L ,with significant difference among the groups (F＝36.72 ,P＜0.05).The level of BAFF was negatively correlated with both B cell counts and CD4+T lymphocyte counts (r＝ －0.722 and －0.568 ,respectively ;both P＜0.05) ,and positively correlated with viral load (r＝0.607 ,P＜0 .05).The area under the ROC curve was 0 .881.If the level of BAFF was 1 281.5 ng／L ,the sensitivity and specificity to predict the period of AIDS were 74 .1% and 87.0%,respectively .Conclusion The levels of soluble BAFF in HIV-infected patients are significantly increased and related with the reduction of B cell counts and disease progression.

Objective To investigate the resistance of second-line anti-TBdrugs to baseline strain in patients with multidrug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods Atotal of 52 baseline strains in patients with multidrug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis collected from March 2016 to May 2017 in our hospital were randomly selected. The sensitivity of the nine kinds of second-line anti-TBdrugs was tested, to analyze the proportion of different drug resistance and cross-resistance of similar drugs. Results Among the 9 second-line anti-TBdrugs, the ratio of drug resistance was ofloxacin =levofloxacin(59. 6％, 31/52)＞moxifloxacin(30. 8％, 16/52)＞ amikacin=kanamycin(both 9. 6％,5/52)＞paminosalicylic acid=cycloserine(both 7. 7％, 4/52)＞ capreomycin =prothionamide(both 9. 6％, 3/52). Ofloxacin was completely cross-resistant with levofloxacin, and its cross-resistant rate with moxifloxacin accounted for 51. 6％ (15/31). Amikacin was completely cross-resistant with kanamycin, and its cross-resistant rate with capreomycin accounted for 60％. Conclusion The baseline strains of patients with multi-drug resistant pulmonary tuberculosis are seriously resistant to fluoroquinolones. There is resistance to some extent for other second-line anti-tuberculosis drugs. Therefore, second-line drug susceptibility testing should be completed prior to establishing an effective MDR-TBtreatment regimen.
