Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients infected with human adenovirus type 7 and to provide guidance for early diagnosis and timely control of the outbreak.Methods A total of 301 patients infected with the human adenoviruses who were quarantined in hospital from December 2012 to February 2013 were observed.Epidemiological questionnaires were used to collect data of clinical features of the disease including symptoms,signs,images and laboratory tests.To confirm infection,real time polymerase chain reaction was performed using patients' swabs to detect viral nucleotide.Results Most cases happened in December to the next February.Totally 277 cases of the 301 patients were male,and only 24 cases were female.Mean age was (19.1±1.9) years old,range 15 to 29 years old.Identifiable epidemiologic links were seen between patients.The most common symptoms were fever (100.0％),cough (70.4％),expectoration (48.2％),and sore throat (47.8％).In addition,some patients presented with headache,dizziness,chills,fatigue.The most common signs were pharyngeal congestion (62.5％),enlargement of tonsils (56.5％) and lymphatic follicular hyperplasia (26.6％).Some patients' tonsil was covered with white secretions.Lung images were abnormal in 75 cases,which were presented with mild pneumonia with or without surrounding exudative lesions and pleural effusion in lung images.Laboratory tests showed that the number of white blood cells in the peripheral blood in most of the patients (99.0 ％) was elevated or normal.The proportions of neutrophils (54.2％) and monocytes (80.7％) and the level of C-reactive protein (42.2％) increased,while the proportion of lymphocytes reduced (67.1％).The average course of disease was (6.6±2.9) d.With the treatment of intravenous ribavirin and reduning,all patients were cured.Conclusions Human adenovirus type 7 is quite contagious and may cause epidemic outbreak,especially in winter.The majority exhibits mild symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection with short duration,including fever,cough,expectoration and sore throat.Through timely and active treatment,all patients have a good prognosis.

Objective To introduce the concept of health promotion to brucellosis comprehensive prevention and control and then the effect was evaluated.We expect this article could provide scientific basis for prevention and control of brucellosis.Methods The study began in March 2014,a high-incidence district of brucellosis in Dali County was selected.Our study populations were divided to primary target groups and secondary target groups by the extent of exposure to sheep.We implemented general health campaigns,targeted health education,intervention and inducement,promotion of establish leading groups,and released relevant policies and rules for target population.According to the information from the questionnaire survey designed by us,before and after the intervention,the difference between the awareness rate of knowledge on brucellosis control,the health behavior formation rate and the effects of different intervention measures in primary target groups,were compared.The correct diagnostic rate in time (in 3 months),the eligible rate of trained health works,the change of the incidence of brucellosis in human cases,the perfection of the relevant policies on brucellosis control were analyzed,and the effectiveness of comprehensive prevention and control and health promotion strategies were evaluated.Results The disease awareness rate of target audience was 62.49％ (12 695/20 315) after the intervention which was 20.23％ (3 746/18 517) before the intervention.The awareness rate of primary target groups and secondary target groups was increased by 39.69％ [before intervention:33.75％ (1 624/4 812),after intervention:73.44％ (3 569/4 860)] and 43.57％ [before intervention:15.48％ (2 122/13 705),after intervention:59.05％ (9 126/15 455)],respectively.South of Luohe and north of Luohe increased by 37.70％ [before intervention:36.81％ (731/1 986),after intervention:74.51％ (1 453/1 950)] and 35.86％ [before intervention:35.06％ (711/2 028),after intervention:70.92％ (1 366/1 926)] after the intervention.The success rate of prevention and control skill on brucellosis in medical staff was 88.52％ (594/671);the correct diagnostic rate of new cases was 93.73％ (370/383).The proportion of new cases in the selected county in 2014 was 18.26％ (269/1 473) of the whole Shaanxi Province,the ratio decreased compared to that of the previous year.The proportion of new cases in 2015 was 6.14％ (75/1 221).The proportion of new cases in 2016 was 3.48％ (33/948).Conclusions Through the implementation of health promotion,health education and health promotion comprehensive measures,the disease awareness rate in target population has increased substantially.These measures are also able to lead focused population to develop health behavior and to decrease the incidence of brucellosis among people,and to realize the sustainable control of human brucellosis.

Objective:To investigate the pathology characteristics, so as to provide treatment experience of primary cardiac tumors for pediatric patients.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted for 135 patients with primary cardiac tumor between January 2004 and December 2017 in Shanghai Children′s Medical Center.The median age was 0.54 years (range, 0-14.36 years). Single tumor was discovered in 61 cases and multiple rumors were found in 74 cases.Forty-five patients presented obvious clinical symptoms, 4 patients with mild symptoms and 86 patients without symptoms.Forty-one patients underwent surgical treatment, including complete resection of the tumor in 24 cases, partial resection in 16 cases and heart transplantation in 1 case.Concomitant valvuloplasty was required in 13 patients.Ninety-four patients did not receive surgical treatment.Results:A total of 40 patients underwent surgical treatment in Shanghai Children′s Medical Center.Three patients died of low cardiac output (in-hospital mortality: 7.5%), and 2 patients recovered from postoperative low cardiac output.The hemodynamic status was stable in the remaining 35 cases.One patient who received heart transplantation in another hospital survived and had good cardiac function during 24 months follow-ups.There were no significant differences in the survival rate between partial resection and complete resection of benign tumors.One late death was observed in patients with malignant tumors for 2 years after operation.Surveillance was kept in 94 non-surgical patients, among whom 1 case died for the abandon of surgery and 1 case died when waiting for heart transplantation.Other 2 patients were waiting for heart transplantation and other 90 patients had no hemodynamic disorder.Conclusion:Most of primary cardiac tumors are benign and long time follow-up should be able to get on for pediatric patients.When patients develop hemodynamical obstruction, arrhythmia or malignant tumor, surgical treatment is necessary.The principle of surgical therapy in these patients is to restore normal hemodynamic status, instead of completely removing tumor.Heart transplantation is potentially the only way for patients whose tumor cannot be resected.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of different pacing modes (unipolar/bipolar) under left bundle branch pacing(LBBP) on ventricular mechanical synchrony and myocardial work using the pressure-strain loop technique.Methods:Twenty-nine patients with LBBP due to symptomatic bradycardia were collected as LBBP group in Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from December 2018 to July 2020. Another 29 matched patients with right ventricular pacing (RVP) during the same period were also included as a RVP group. Each LBBP patient was programmed to different pacing modes (uni-/bio-polar) within 1 week after the operation.Under each pacing mode, the inter- and intra-ventricular mechanical synchronization were evaluated. Meanwhile, the global work index (GWI), global constructive work (GCW), global wasted work (GWW), and global work efficiency (GWE) were obtained by the left ventricular pressure-strain loops technique.Results:Compared with the RVP group, the mechanical synchrony in the LBBP group was significantly improved (all P<0.05). GWI, GCW, and GWE increased, while GWW decreased, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05), there were no significant differences in ventricular mechanical synchronization, GWI, GCW, GWE, and GWW between unipolar and bipolar pacing in the LBBP group (all P>0.05), there were no significant differences in these parameters when increasing output voltage (all P>0.05). Conclusions:LBBP induces better mechanical synchronization and higher myocardial work efficiency than RVP. Different LBBP pacing modes do not affect ventricular mechanical synchronization and myocardial work efficiency.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics of superior mesenteric artery ischemic diseases.Methods:The clinical and followup data of 141 hospitalized patients with ischemic disease of superior mesenteric artery in the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from 1999 to 2021 were reviewed.Results:There were 99 males (70.2%) and 42 females (29.8%). The average age of the patients was (63.75±13.16) years; 127 patients (90.1%) complained abdominal pain.The number of all-cause deaths in the perioperative period was 27 (19.1%). ROC curve analysis showed that the optimal cutoff value of the age with predictive value was 64.5 years. The results of multivariate COX regression analysis showed that age ≥65 years old ( HR=3.855, 95% CI: 1.739-8.545), neutrophil count ( HR=1.072, 95% CI: 1.018-1.130), heart failure ( HR=2.863, 95% CI: 1.332-6.154), creatinine ( HR=1.009, 95% CI: 1.003-1.015), D-Dimer ( HR=1.112, 95% CI: 1.025-1.205) was an independent risk factor for all-cause death from superior mesenteric artery ischemic disease. Long-term survival rate of SMAD group was significantly higher than that of other SMAID; By comparing the clinical characteristics of different SMAID, neutrophil count, neutrophil ratio, D-dimer of SMAE group and SMAT group were significantly higher than that of SMAD group and ASSMA group. Conclusions:SMAID usually occurs in elderly men over 65 years old, with abdominal pain as the main symptom and often accompanied by hypertension. Risk factors included age, increased WBC count and D-dimer; The neutrophil count, neutrophil ratio, D-dimer in SMAE and SMAT group were significantly higher than that of SMAD and ASSMA group.

OBJECTIVE To establish the characteristic chromatogram of the volatile oil in the standard decoction of Qingshang juantong decoction， and preliminarily infer the main active components of volatile oil that affect the clinical therapeutic effect. METHODS The volatile oil in the standard decoction of Qingshang juantong decoction was extracted by steam distillation. The ultra-high performance liquid chromatography （UPLC） characteristic chromatograms of 15 batches of samples were established by the Similarity Evaluation System of TCM Chromatographic Fingerprint （2012 edition）， and the similarity evaluation was carried out. The volatile oil of standard decoction was identified by UPLC coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry （UPLC-Q-TOF/MS）. Then the volatile oil components were analyzed by GC-MS. RESULTS The similarities of UPLC characteristic chromatograms for volatile oil of 15 batches of Qingshang juantong decoction were between 0.949 and 0.997. A total of 12 common peaks were obtained. According to the UPLC-Q-TOF/MS， the main components were methyl eugenol， E-ligustilide， E-butylidenephthalide and so on. A total of 23 components were identified by GC-MS， which were mainly 3，4，5-trimethoxy- methylbenzene， patchouli alcohol， Z-ligustilide and so on. CONCLUSIONS The characteristic chromatograms of the volatile oil in the standard decoction of Qingshang juantong decoction is established， and it is inferred that methyl eugenol， ligustilide， E- butylidenephthalide， patchouli alcohol， 3，4，5-trimethoxy-methylbenzene might be the main active components affecting the clinical therapeutic effect of the volatile oil of Qingshang juantong decoction.
