ObjectiveTo explore the cause and treatment of multi-drug resistant pulmonary tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Methods24 cases with HIV and MDR-TB who were found in some AIDS-high areas in Henan were analyzed.ResultsAll cases were later-required drug-resistant ones. The main reasons were unreasonable plan for chemotherathy,improper management to the patients, side-effect of drugs,immunosuppression and low drug-tolerance. After anti-virus and 9～12 months long anti-tuberculosis chemotherathy,7 cases died and other 17 survival patients improved in clinical symptoms and signs, including no tubercle bacillus were found in sputum of 15 cases,the focal of infection were absorbed in 16 cases,the pulmonary cavity closure rate was 66.7%(4/6)and the count of CD4+ lymphocyte was higher than before.ConclusionThe patients with HIV and MDR-TB are difficult to cure and the mortality rate is high;the short-term effect of the anti-virus and multi-drug antituberculosis chemotherathy is better.

Objective To explore the factors which are related to the reoperation and relapse hiatus hernia in children.Methods Between Jan.2002 and May 2013,64 patients who suffered from hiatus hernia in Children's Hospital of Fudan University were divided into uneventful group (U group,n =49) and reoperation group (R group,n =15).The ages at operation,barium swallow examinations,operative procedures,findings during the operation and the followup of these two groups were reviewed.Results The average ages at operation in U group and R group were (14.70 ± 0.79) months and (13.60 ± 0.59) months,respectively.The major symptoms before the second operation in R group was vomiting(6 cases),pneumonia (4 cases) and dysphagia (2 cases).Asymptomatic recurrence was found in 3 patients.Through barium swallow examination,short esophagus was found in 10 cases in U group,while 3 cases were reported in R group.However,during the operation,the length of intra-abdominal esophagus without tension could be obtained with average (3.33 ± 0.86) cm in these short esophagus patients,which was only (3.18 ± 1.14) cm in those normal esophagus patients.There was no significant difference between the U group and R group in the width of the hiatus and the ratio of stomach above the hiatus.The length of esophagus which mobilized during operation was shorter in R group than that in U group(P =0.003).The difference of operative methods and the ratio of large hernia between these two groups could not be found.The common cause of failure in R group was herniated fundoplication (9 cases),which was followed by disputed fundoplication (4 cases),twisted fundoplication (1 case) and rupture of esophagus (1 case).The average follow up time was (8.3 ± 4.2) months in R group.Vomiting was found in 3 patients,and pneumonia was found in one case in R group after the second operation.The symptoms of these four patients were relieved half year later postoperatively.Conclusions The age,symptoms,size of the hiatus,short esophagus,and the operative methods are not related to the reoperation in hiatus hernia.But if the length of intra-abdominal esophagus without tension was not obtained enough,it may contribute to the recurrence of hiatus hernia.Wrap herniation has now become the most common mechanism of failure requiring reoperation.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of Pingchuan cataplasm combined with hyperthermia therapy for stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with qi deficiency syndrome of both lung and spleen. Methods Sixty patients of stable COPD with TCM syndrome of qi deficiency of both lung and spleen were selected and randomized into treatment group and control group, 30 cases in each group. Based on conventional treatment, the treatment group was treated by Pingchuan cataplasm combined with hyperthermia, and the control group was given analog stick applicator without additional heat treatment. After 6 weeks of treatment, the TCM symptom score and the time of the first exacerbation after treatment were observed. Results Compared with the control group, Pingchuan cataplasm can reduce the patients’ TCM symptom score (F=9.843, P=0.003), and extend the interval of acute exacerbation after treatment (F=4.451, P=0.040). Conclusion Pingchuan cataplasm combined with hyperthermia applicator can improve symptoms and reduce the frequency of acute exacerbation, thus can treat and prevent the acute exacerbation of COPD.

Objective To investigate the effect of di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) on the proliferation of SK-N-SH human neuroblastoma cells and its underlying mechanism. Methods Cells were cultured in estrogen-free improved Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium and then divided into 5 groups: no treatment (control group); treated with 17β-estradiol (E_2 group); treated with DEHP (DEHP group); treated with both E_2 and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinases (PI3K) inhibitor LY294002 (E_2 + LY294002 group); treated with both DEHP and LY294002 (DEHP + LY294002 group). The absorbance value (AV) was measured on day 0, 2, and 5. DNA proliferation index (PI) and apoptotic index (AI) were determined by flow cytometry on day 5. Caspase-3 protein, protein-serine-threonine kinase (Akt) and phosphor-Akt (Ser473) protein expression were analyzed by Western blot on day 5. Results The AV of All groups increased on day 2, and 5. The AV of E_2 and DEHP groups were higher than that of the control group (P<0. 001), but the AV of E_2 + LY294002 and DEHP + LY294002 groups were lower than those of E_2 and DEHP groups (P<0.01) on day 2 and 5. On day 5, PI of E_2 and DEHP groups were also higher than that of control (P<0.01). However, PI of E_2 + LY294002 and DEHP + LY294002 groups were lower than those of E_2 and DEHP group (P<0.01) on day 5. There was no significant difference in AI and caspase-3 protein expression among the groups. At the same time, phosphor-Akt (Ser473) protein expression of E_2 and DEHP groups increased obviously, compared with the control group. Compared with E_2 and DEHP groups, E_2 + LY294002 and DEHP + LY294002 groups decreased significantly. However, Akt protein expression was equal among those groups. Conclusions DEHP can promote the growth of SK-N-SH cells to a level similar to that of E_2, with activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

CONCLUSIONS Fluorescence polymerase chain reaction is a simple,rapid,high sensibility technique for quantitation testing of STDs pathogens,and we should pay great heed to its effective control.

Objective Radiological grade of splenic injury was seldomly used in China trauma center now,though it had been established in 1994 by American Association for Surgery of Trauma (AAST) and widely used.The present study is aimed to analyze the imaging grade and clinical characteristics of traumatic splenic rupture in children,discuss the feasibility of conservative treatment,and the role of radiographic grading during clinical treatment.Methods Information (including age,gender,severity based on radiological findings,treatment strategies,and clinical outcome) regarding 59 hospitalized splenic injury patients whose injuries occurred between 2008 and 2014 was retrospectively analyzed.Results Between 2008 and 2014,59 pediatric patients with splenic injury were treated in our institution.Median age was 9.5 years (range,3 months to 16 years).Of all patients,41 (69.5%) were male.The injuries were primarily caused by traffic crash (45.7%),stumbling/falling from a height (38.9%).According to AAST,5 cases were grade Ⅰ,26 patients grade Ⅱ (44.1%),and 21 cases grade Ⅲ (35.6%),6 over grade Ⅳ,and only one was unclear.Of all patients,25 cases were with the other organs complications.All patients underwent fasting,bed rest,and antibiotics.Only 1 case was transferred to operation during the conservative treatment.Forty-nine patients underwent with CT scan over 2 times.Conclusion Imaging classification helps guide clinical treatment.Conservative treatment is feasible for traumatic splenic injury in children.Early imaging classification of splenic injury may be helpful in clinical judgment,and reduce children radiation exposure.

Objective To summarize the experience of multidisciplinary consultation for prenatal fetal deformity, and to explore the mode suitable for China. Methods The Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University and Children's Hospital of Fudan University established a joint multidisciplinary consultation center, including obstetrics, pediatrics, pediatric surgery, ultrasound and other departments. A total of 3 378 pregnant women visited the consultation center from July 31, 2003 to August 1, 2013. After consultation, treatment was divided into three classes:pregnancy termination, pregnancy continuation and perinatal treatment. Follow-up was made through correspondence and telephone communication. Retrospective analysis on reasons for consultation, fetal structural abnormalities of the classification system, chronological order of abnormalities, gestational weeks of diagnosis, maternal-related factors, treatment and prognosis was performed. Results (1) Reasons for consultation:Among 3 378 women undertaking prenatal multidisciplinary consultation, 3 243 (96.00%) were due to fetal factors, and 135 (4.00%) were due to maternal factors. (2) Classification of fetal structural abnormalities:Among the 3 243 cases undertaking consultation with fetal factors, fetal abnormality was found in 80.85%(2 622/3 243). The most common were neurological abnormalities(23.19%, 608/2 622), followed by urinary tract malformation (20.25%, 531/2 622) and cardiovascular malformation (15.48%, 406/2 622). These were followed by digestive system malformation, limb deformities and space-occupying lesions. There were 156 cases of multiple malformations. (3) Average gestational weeks for diagnosis of fetal deformity:The 2 622 cases of fetal deformity were diagnosed at a mean (26.7± 2.1) of gestational weeks (21.1–30.4 weeks). Urinary tract malformations were detected at (24.0±0.7) weeks, whereas digestive system malformations were detected at (28.3±2.6) weeks. (4) Induced labor:Induced labor cases accounted for 35.66% (935/2 622), among which, 92 cases were fetal intrauterine death and 843 cases were active choice. The several highest induced labor rates resulted from multiple malformations (75.64%, 118/156), abdominal wall defects (62.22%, 28/45), diaphragmatic hernia (61.54%, 24/39), cleft lip and palate (55.32%, 26/47) and cardiovascular malformations (49.51%, 201/406). For nervous system (27.80%, 169/608), urinary tract (25.80%, 137/531) and digestive system malformations (26.94%, 66/245), induced labor rates were <30%. For abdominal lesions (14.04%, 25/178) and sacrococcygeal teratoma (13.64%, 3/22), induced labor rates were<15%. (5) Continuation of pregnancy in 1 687 cases:Cesarean section was conducted in 1 046(61.94%). Neonatal death occurred in 117(6.94%).(6) Perinatal treatment:Twenty-one cases were treated during pregnancy, including thirteen cases with fetal ascites and hydrothorax treated by drainage, five cases with fetal anemia treated by intrauterine transfusion and three cases with fetal tachycardia treated by digoxin. Ten cases were treated by ex-utero intrapartum treatment. After birth, 297 newborns immediately underwent neonatal surgery. Among these, 259 cases underwent radical surgery, eleven palliative surgery, and sixteen elective surgery after follow-up. Conclusions Prenatal multidisciplinary consultation can make comprehensive multidisciplinary assessment of fetal prognosis and improve the diagnosis and treatment of structural malformations.

Objective To explore the relationship between flood ing and the prevalence of schistosomiasis in the river beach area. Met hods The subjects were investigated on the ways of exposure, frequency and duratio n of water conta cted from May to November in 1999, and eggs of Schistosoma were examined bef ore and after flooding. Results Exposure to infested water for human being s in the area comprised productive, living and recreational contacts including 11 kinds of activities, and 53.55% of the subjects contacted infested w ater. The number of person, frequency and duration of water contacted in floodin g strongly increased; the infection rate and density among population stron gly increased after flooding. There was significant difference between the infec tion rate in exposure group and that in non-exposure group. Conclusions It can be inferred that flooding has increased water contacted and i nfection, therefore, health education should be strengthened to avoid or dec rease water contact.
