Objective To investigate the diagnostic points of multiple sclerosis and multiple metastatic encephaloma.Methods Choose a case of multiple sclerosis,which had been misdiagnosed as multiple metastatic encephaloma and operated on,to analyse its reasons of misdiagnosis.Results Reasons for the misdiagnosis:The neglect of the importance of the disease history.The scant knowledge of the early represen- tations of the atypical MS(demyelinating pseudotumor).The lack of the knowledge of the non-demyelinating lesions of the MS.The lack of attention to the different representations of the MRI scan between the acute MS and the multiple metastatic encephaloma.The excessive importance is attached to the imageological report. The neglect of the routine examination of cerebrospinal fluid.Conclusion When multiple metastatic en- cephaloma develops,the differential diagnosis of MS should be made.The further examinations should be done to those cases which are hard to tell the difference with metastatic encephaloma by clinical and imageo- logical representations.Try to avoid undergoing surgery or radiotherapy hastily.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of hospital admission cases with chemical poisoning in Guangdong Province from 2016 to 2020. Methods Data of hospital admissions for chemical poisoning in Guangdong Province from 2016 to 2020 were collected through Guangdong Province Health Statistics Network Reporting System，and descriptive analysis was conducted. The seasonal characteristics of the number of hospitalized poisoning cases were analyzed by the concentration method，the seasonal index（SI）was calculated by the weighted annual ratio averaging method，and the spatial auto-correlation of regional poisoning trend was analyzed by the global and local spatial autocorrelation. Results From 2016 to 2020，the number of hospital admissions for chemical poisoning in Guangdong Province was 54 656，showing a general decreasing trend. The sex ratio（male to female）was 0.90 ∶1.00. The top three types of hospitalization rates were carbon monoxide poisoning，alcohol poisoning and organic solvent poisoning. The main poisoning groups were students and children， farmers，workers and unemployed people，accounting for 31.74%，18.53%，13.91% and 10.39%，respectively. The 74.37% of poisoning cases were cured or improved and discharged，and the case fatality rate was 0.48%. The top three hospitalization rates in age group of 0-<5 years were organic solvent，metal and carbon monoxide poisoning. The hospitalization rate of carbon monoxide poisoning ranked the first among all age groups of ≥5 years. The top three regions with the highest average annual hospitalization rate were Shaoguan City （25.14/105 ），Qingyuan City （17.04/105 ） and Meizhou City （16.09/105 ）. Carbon monoxide poisoning had a strong seasonality（M=0.77），with high incidence months of January，February and December（SI were 3.60，3.08 and 2.48，respectively）. The inpatients with chemical poisoning showed non-random distribution and spatial correlation（all P<0.01），with a high-high clustering among 13 districts and counties in northern Guangdong（all P<0.05）. Conclusion The number of hospital admission cases of chemical poisoning showed an overall decreasing trend in Guangdong Province from 2016 to 2020. The main types of poisoning were carbon monoxide poisoning，alcohol poisoning and organic solvent poisoning. The spatial distribution of chemical poisoning types showed spatial correlation and there were high-high clustering areas.

Objective To explore the efficacy of low tidal volume ventilation strategy in children with acute hypoxia respiratory failure (AHRF).Methods A total of 79 hospitalized children with AHRF from Aug 2006 to Jul 2011 in PICU of Kunming Children's Hospital were enrolled in this study.The observation group in-cluded 55 children who received low tidal volume ventilation strategy (6-8 ml /kg),while the other 24 children (control group)were given traditional mechanical ventilation (10-12 ml /kg).Oxygenation situations such as PaO2 ,PaCO2 ,PaO2 /FiO2 ,oxygen index and blood gas pH value,organ function,mechanical ventilation complica-tions,hospitalization days and expenses in PICU and the mortality were observed.Results (1)PaO2 ,PaO2 /FiO2 and oxygen index in the observation group were better than those in control group after 24 h mechanical ventilation [(68.51 ±7.53)mmHg(1 mmHg =0.133 kPa)vs.(61.64 ±9.28)mmHg,(162.9 ±21.84)mmHg vs.(152.1 ± 19.03)mmHg,and 18.85 ±4.1 vs.26.53 ±5.2,respectively],and there were significant differences between two groups (P ﹤0.05);and there were also significant differences between two groups in the results after 48 h and 72 h mechanical ventilation.(2)The PaCO2 was (47.48 ±10.52)mmHg after 24 h in observation group,while the PaCO2 in control group was (30.17 ±6.59)mmHg,and it suggested excessive ventilation.(3)Mechanical venti-lation time (7.6 ±3.1)d and hospitalization days (12.8 ±3.6)d were shorter in observation group(P ﹤0.01). Barotrauma (7.3%)and mortality (20.0%)in observation group was significantly lower than those in control group (29.2%,41.6%;P ﹤0.01).The number of damaged organs in observation group was lower than that in control group (P ﹤0.05).Conclusion Low tidal volume ventilation with appropriate positive end expiratory pressure could improve oxygenation,prevent alveolar collapse,reduce complications and mortality for children with AHRF,it should be applied for the treatment of children with AHRF.

Objective To analyze the diagnostic value of 4 serum autoantibodies in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients (anti-Rho-GDI-2, -HSP70, -CK19 and -LAP3 antibodies) using a serological proteomic approach. Methods The conditions for blocking, antigen concentrations and serum dilution were optimized to establish the ELISA method for detection of serum autoantibodies for Rho-GDI-2, HSP70, CK19 and LAP3. The serum concentrations of these autoantibodies were detected by the established method in 36 NPC patients, 20 other cancer patients and 20 healthy individuals. The statistical analysis was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of the 4 serum autoantibodies. Results The concentrations of 4 serum autoantibodies in the NPC patients were significantly higher than those in the healthy individuals(A450 values in NPC group of CK19, Rho-GDI-2, HSP70, LAP3 were 0. 188 8 ±0.047 3, 0.240 5 ± 0.024 7, 0. 116 8 ±0.025 3, 0.276 9 ±0.044 2 repectively. A450 values in healthy control group were 0.010 5 ±0.004 4, 0. 105 3 ±0. 016 9, 0. 098 6 ± 0. 014 0, 0. 149 8 ± 0. 033 1 respectively. F values were 4. 869, 15. 919, 10. 331,6. 369, respectively. P values were 0. 010, 0. 000, 0. 000, 0. 003, respectively). The sensitivities of antiRho-GDI-2, anti-HSP70, anti -CK19 and anti -LAP3 autoantibodies for diagnosis of NPC was 85.0%,75.0%, 75.0% and 75.0%, respectively, and the specificities were 58.9%, 80. 4%, 58. 9% and 57. 1%, respectively, anti-Rho-GDI-2 and anti-HSP70 achived the highest sensitivity and specificity respectively when single marker was analyzed. The sensitivity and specificity were 94. 4% and 95. 0%respectively when 4 markers was combined for analysis. Conclusion Detection of serum anti-Rbo-GDI-2,anti-HSP70, anti-CK19 and anti-IAP3 auotantibedios by ELISA may be of help in the screening and diagnosis for NPC.
