Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and complementary tests of a Chinese patient with central mixed phenotype acute leukemia and improve the awareness and diagnosis of MPAL among clinicians.Methods:Retrospectively analyzed a patient's clinical feature, laboratory examination, diagnosis and literature review who had headache as the first symptom and finally diagnosed with MPAL.Results:A 59-year-old female presented with recurrent headaches and can not relieved, at last , was confirmed as mixed phenotype acute leukemia by flow cytometry of cerebrospinal fluid、immunophenotyping and molecular biology of bone marrow. Remission was achieved after chemotherapy for lymphoid and myeloid leukemia.Conclusion:Patients with an unclear diagnosis of central nervous system disease, leukemia should be considered, and cerebrospinal fluid flow cytology and bone marrow biopsy should be refined.

Objective:To investigate the long-term efficacy and complications of augmentation uretero-enterocystoplasty (AUEC).Methods:The clinical data of 262 patients with lower urinary tract dysfunction who underwent AUEC at our center from January 2003 to June 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 193 males and 69 females, the median age was 24 (4, 67) years, the median disease duration was 12.0 (0.2, 56.0) years and the preoperative creatinine was 91.5 (68.1, 140.0) μmol/L. 320 ureters had high-grade UUTD, 216 ureters had VUR, 14 of which had low-pressure reflux.The number of low-grade VUR ureter was 22 (10.2%) and the number of high-grade VUR ureter was 194 (89.8%). Video-urodynamics showed that the maximum bladder capacity was 102 (47, 209) ml, the maximum detrusor pressure was 33.0 (15.5, 50.5) cmH 2O, and the bladder compliance was 6.4 (3.0, 12.3) ml/cmH 2O. All patients underwent AUEC. The surgical method is to cut a segment of sigmoid colon, open the sigmoid colon along the mesenteric margin, fold and suture it into " U" or " S" shaped intestinal mesh according to the principle of " detubulization" . At the same time, perform ureteroplasty and replanting, and then anastomosis the intestinal mesh with the opened bladder flap to form an expanded new bladder. Follow-up was performed via outpatient clinic or telephone. The creatinine, maximum bladder capacity, maximum detrusor pressure, bladder compliance, ureteral reflux and upper urinary tract dilatation were compared preoperatively and postoperatively. The postoperative complications were also evaluated. Results:The median follow-up time was 57.4 (4, 151) months after surgery. At 1-3 months after surgery, the maximum bladder capacity and bladder compliance increased to 303.9% and 189.9% of the preoperative level, and the maximum detrusor pressure decreased to 63.6% of the preoperative level. At 6-10 years after surgery, the maximum bladder capacity and bladder compliance increased to 490.2% and 627.9% and the maximum detrusor pressure decreased to 25.8% of the preoperative level. The UUTD of the patients was significantly reduced after surgery. The number of the high grade UUTD decreased to 116 (116/398, 29.2%) at 1-3 months and 51 (51/274, 18.6%) at 4-6 months. At 6-10 years, the number of the high-grade UUTD decreased to 4 (4/76, 5.3%) ( P<0.001), which was significantly lower than that before operation. The VUR was significantly relieved after operation, and 393 ureters had no VUR at 1-3 months, accounting for 97.8% (393/402) of the total ureters. Sustained remission of VUR was observed during follow-up. 73 ureters had no VUR at 6-10 years, accounting for 96.1% (73/76) of total ureters ( P<0.001). Patients' creatinine decreased to 79.0 (65.0-128.2) μmol/L at 1-3 months postoperatively, with a downward trend but no statistical difference, and creatinine levels were not significantly elevated at any postoperative time point compared with preoperative levels ( P>0.05). Postoperative complications included metabolic acidosis in 26 cases (9.9%), vesicoureteral anastomosis stenosis in 15 cases (5.7%), recurrent urinary tract infection in 16 cases (6.1%), and urinary calculi in 20 cases (7.6%), and intestinal obstruction requiring laparotomy in 8 cases (3.1%), all of them could be improved after treatments. Conclusions:AUEC is a safe and effective method for treating high-grade VUR or VUR with impaired anti-reflux mechanism, high-grade UUTD or UUTD with ureteral or vesicoureteral junction obstruction, and all of the complications can be improved after treatment. This technique can increase the bladder capacity and compliance, reconstruct the anti-reflux mechanism, and release upper urinary tract obstruction. It may play an important role in stabilizing and protecting the residual renal function from further deterioration.

Objective To investigate the awareness of malaria-related knowledge, the use of mosquito nets and their influencing factors among residents in Banlao Township, Cangyuan County, Yunnan Province.. Methods In August 2020, 19 settlement sites in Banlao Township, Cangyuan County, Lincang City, Yunnan Province were selected as study areas, and permanent residents at ages of 10 years and older were enrolled for a questionnaire survey, including residents’ demographics, family economic status, malaria control knowledge and use of mosquito nets. In addition, the factors affecting the use of mosquito nets in the night prior to the survey were identified using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results A total of 320 questionnaires were allocated, and all were recovered (a 100% recovery rate). There were 316 valid questionnaires, with an effective recovery rate of 98.75%. The 316 respondents included 152 men and 164 women and 250 Chinese respondents and 66 foreign respondents. The awareness of clinical syndromes of malaria was significantly higher among Chinese residents (71.60%) than among foreign residents (50.00%) (χ2 = 11.03, P < 0.01), and the proportions of Chinese and foreign residents sleeping under mosquito nets were 46.00% and 69.70% on the night prior to the survey, respectively (χ2 = 11.73, P < 0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified ethnicity group and type of residence as factors affecting the use of mosquito nets in the night prior to the survey. Conclusions The awareness of malaria control knowledge, the coverage and the use of mosquito nets were low among residents in Banlao Township, Cangyuan County, Yunnan Province. Targeted health education is recommended to improve the awareness of malaria control knowledge and self-protection ability. In addition, improving the allocation of long-lasting mosquito nets and health education pertaining to their uses and increasing the proportion of using mosquito nets correctly is needed to prevent re-establishment of imported malaria.
