Objective To explore the epidemic situation of nontuberculous Mycobacteria in both Yuexiu and Zhuhai districts. Methods Mycobacterium tuberculosis culture and strain identification were conducted in suspected smear-positive tuberculosis patients who had visited our clinics at Yuexiu and Haizhu districts in Guangzhou during the period of 2010 to 2012. Results 2 014 sputum samples were identified as NTM and MTC, 1 630 samples were MTC (80.9%), and 384 samples were NTM (19.1%). The isolated rate for NTM from 2010 to 2012 was 17.6%, 17.1% and 21.2%, respectively. 79 strains of 384 NTM were identified; the rapid-growing mycobacterium was 50.6%, and the slow-growing mycobacterium was 49.4%. Conclusions The sputum-isolated rate of NTM for the suspected tuberculosis patients was 19.1% in Yuexiu and Haizhu districts in Guangzhou. For the smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients who respond to treatment poorly , we should pay attention to NTM lung disease.

Objective This paper focuses on the investigation of the occurrence and influential factors of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)in SARS patients, hospital staffs and the public expo sed to SARS. Methodes Three groups were assessed by scale of self-compiled stressor Questionnaire, impact of event scale-revised (IES-R) , PSSS, SCSQ, SES and EPQ. Results 1. The incidence of PTSD symptoms in the three groups were 55.1% ,25.8 % and 31.18 %. 2. The main cause of the different incidence was the difference of the stressor intensity and characters. Negative coping was the risk factor of SARS patients and the public; Self-esteem was the protected factor of SARS patients and the hospital staffs; Social support was a protected factor on the hospital staffs. 3. Comparing to the first investigate in September,2003 ,the data of follow-up study in September,2004 showed that the prevalence items significant decreased. Conclusions 1. The investigation concludes that all three groups of people exposed o SARS exhibit PTSD symptom. SARS patients have the highest occurrence ( P < 0.01 ). 2. The main influencing factors of different incidence of PTSD in different groups are intensities and characteristics of stressors. Different people who had PTSD symptoms have different influencing factors. 3. With the change of time , the PTSD symptoms significant relieve with the attenuation gradually of exposure degree of stressor.

Objective To study the feasibility of in vitro release of γ-interferon tests (IGRA) in screening of tuberculosis for children with close TB contacts. Methods 185 children with close TB contacts were detected by IGRA at the pediatric clinic in our hospital. Results In IGRA-positive group, the rate of strong positive PPD (PDD≥15 mm) was 50.9%, which was higher than 9.1% in IGRA-negative group (X2 =37.263, P < 0.00). The morbidity rate for children with close TB contacts was 30.2% in IGRA-positive group, and it was significantly higher than 3.0% in IGRA-negative group (X2 = 28.928, P < 0.00). The sensitivity was 80% and the specificity was 77.6% for IGRA screening in children who had close contacts with TB patients. The sensitivity would be 95.0%, as the test was combined with PPD test. Conclusions IGRA screening in children with close TB contacts can increase the detection rate of tuberculosis and reduce imaging screening.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of consolidation chemotherapy after thoracic radical concurrent chemoradiotherapy for patients with oligometastatic non?small cell lung cancer ( NSCLC) . Methods Sixty?six NSCLC patients with more than five metastases from 2008 to 2013 were enrolled, and image?guided radiotherapy with conventionally fractionated or hypofractionated doses were performed for these patients. Platinum?based doublets chemotherapy was applied for both concurrent chemoradiotherapy and consolidation chemotherapy. Short?term outcome, adverse reactions, and survival rate were assessed for the patients after treatment. Results Sixty?four patients completed the treatment. The median biologically equivalent dose for planning target volume of thoracic primary tumor lesions was 72 Gy, with a median number of chemotherapy cycles of 4. The objective response rate for thoracic lesions was 70%. The follow?up rate was 97%. The 1?, 2?, and 3?year overall survival ( OS) rates were 72%, 53%, and 31%, respectively, with a median OS time of 25 months;the 1?, 2?, and 3?year progression?free survival ( PFS) rates were 56%, 26%, and 7%, respectively, with a median PFS time of 14 months. The incidence of grade 2?3 acute radiation pneumonitis and radiation esophagitis was 1% and 17%, respectively, and the incidence of grade 3?4 decreases in leukocytes, hemoglobin, and platelet count was 39%, 11%, and 16%, respectively. Conclusions Radical radiotherapy combined with concurrent and consolidation chemotherapy for oligometastatic NSCLC can achieve good short?term outcome and long?term survival, with tolerable adverse effects.
