Objective To evaluate the clinical value and relationship between the serum levels of the Pro-gastrin-releasing peptide 31-98 (ProGRP) , neuron-specific enolase NSE and the different pathohistology types of lung cancer. Methods 353 lung cancer patients were divided into two groups according to pathohistology types: SCLC group( n = 96), NSCLC group( n = 257). 90 lung benign lesion were taken as control group. ProGRP and neu-ron specific enolase in all patients were detected by ELISA. The levels of the ProGRP, NSE and the clinical value were compared among lung cancer,lung benign lesion patients and the different pathohistology types of lung cancer patients . Results The levels of the ProGRP and NSE of SCLC and NSCLC group were higher obviously than that of lung benign lesion( P <0.01 ). In SCLC diagnosis, the sensitivity, specificity, Youden index and Kappa value of the ProGRP and NSE were O. 7708,0. 9444,0. 7153,0.7111 and 0. 7604,0. 8778 ,0. 6382 ,0. 6355 in the monomial de-tection ; Those indexes above were 0.7604,0. 9667,0.7271 and 0. 7221 in combined assay of ProGRP + NSE( on se-quence test) ; and were O. 8229,0.9000,0. 7229 and 0. 7209 in combined assay of ProGRP + NSE( on parallell test). In NSCLC diagnosis,the above indexes were all lower. Conclusions in SCLC diagnosis,the detection of the serum ProGRP is superior to the detection of NSE, the combined assay of ProGRP + NSE (on parallell test) and Pro-GRP + NSE( on sequence test) are superior to the monomial detection of the ProGRP or NSE,and the combined as-say of ProGRP + NSE(on parallell test) is superiro to ProGRP + NSE(on sequence test) ; The diagnosis value of the monomial arid united detection of ProGRP and NSE to NSCLC is not as expected.

[Objective] To standardize integrated traditional and western treatment programs of lower urinary infection and evaluate its effect and to insure the safety. [Methods] TCM syndrome type of lower urinary tract infection is divided into Xuelin type, gaolin type, laolin type, qilin type, relin type. Each type col ects separately 60 patients. Every 60 patients are randomly divided into experimental and control groups.The way to treat the patients for the con-trol group must be in accordance with the norms of western medicine treatment of anti-infection. By contrast, the way that the patients from the experi-mental group should be based on the western medicine treatment, simultaneously what is to be emphasized is that the treatment must also be according to Chinese medicine syndrome type plus Chinese herb. The three elements efficacy, cost-effectiveness and security analysis are used to evaluate the differences between the two groups. [Results]The experimental group of relin type and qilin type has no statistical y significant difference in the efficacy of the control group.The efficacy of experimental group of xuelin type, gaolin type and laolin type is better than the control group,and cost-effectiveness ratio has no significant difference.There is no serious adverse reaction. [Conclusion] Screening of lower urinary tract infection patients with blood type, cream drench type, combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment, can improve the curative effect.

In the past ten years, 52 patients with double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) were operated on in Xijing Hospital. They constituted 2.2% (52/1881) of all patients with congenital heart diseases. Of them, there were 32 males and 20 females, whose ages ranged from 4.5 to 30 years old. In one patient there was pure DCRV, and the remaining 51 patients DCRV was associated with other congenital cardiac anomalies, in which VSD was the most common (50), followed in order by pulmonary stenosis (6), aortic valve prolapse (4), atrial septal defect (2), and subaortic stenosis (1). The repair of DCRV and other intracardiac defects was done through the right ventricolotomy in 47 cases and through the right ventricolotomy plus atriotomy in 2 cases. In another 2 cases the operation was done via the right atriotomy and 1 case pulmonary arteriotomy, and only VSDs were closed, but DCRVs were missed. The major postoperative complications included cardiac arrhythmia (11) and low output syndrome (8). Three patients died, with the operative mortality of 5.8%. In this series, according to characteristics of the anomalous muscle bundle and its resulting obstruction, we divided 52 case DCRVs into two types: fibromuscular diaphragmatic type (24 cases, 44.7%) and muscular bundle-gap type (28 cases, 55.7%). In both types, there were not only hypertrophied anmalous muscle bundles on the septal side, but also hypertro-phied ventricoinfundibulum fold on the parietal side. In a few cases, the ventricoinfundibulum fold was more hypertrophic than the anomalous muscle bundle on the septal side.

Objective To investigate the distribution of pathogens in adult patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in Tangshan area. Methods The clinical data of 530 hospitalized patients with CAP were retrospectively collected in department of respiratory medicine from 6 hospitals in Tangshan area from October 2011 to September 2012. The sputum samples were isolated and cultured. Results A total of 195 strains were isolated from 530 patients with CAP. The most common types of pathogens included Klebsiella pneumoniae (64 strains,12.08%), Streptococcus pneumoniae (24 strains, 4.53%) and Bauman Acinetobacter (19 strain, 3.58%). The detective rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were significantly higher in patients with basic diseases than those of patients without basic diseases (P<0.05). The detective rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Streptococcus pneumoniae were significantly higher in patients not taking antibiotics than those of patients taking antibiotics (P<0.05). The detective rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Bauman Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were significantly higher in the age group≥60 years than those in the age group<60 years (P<0.05). The detective rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae were significantly increased with increased levels of PORT (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the detective rates of pathogens between different regions and different seasons (P>0.05). Conclusion The gram-negative bacterial pathogens were the majority isolated from patients with CAP in Tangshan area. And Klebsiella pneumoniae was the primary bacteria. Patients with serious illness, above 60 years old, without antibiotic treatment before hospitalization, with basic diseases and above PORTⅢlevels should be given treatment of anti-gram-negative bacteria.
