Objective To analyze the influenza-like illness (ILI) data in Ordos City from 2017 to 2023 and conduct nucleic acid detection of the virus to understand the local influenza epidemic situation, and to provide a reliable basis for influenza prevention and control in the city. Methods Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to identify virus subtypes in ILI throat swab samples. Comparisons of positive rates were conducted using the chi-square test, with a significance level of α=0.05. Results From 2017 to 2023, a total of 3,283,434 outpatient and emergency visits were recorded at the Ordos City Central Hospital, including 74,159 ILI cases, with an ILI proportion of 2.26%. The majority of ILI cases (74.43%) occurred in children aged 0~14 years old. The overall positive rate of influenza virus nucleic acid detection was 10.87%, with the highest proportion being subtype A (seasonal H3) at 43.03%. The highest detection rate was observed in the 5~14 years age group, with statistically significant differences in positive rates across age groups (χ²=155.638, P<0.001). Influenza peaks occurred mainly from November to March of the following year. From January to April, three types of influenza were prevalent alternately or mixed, while from October to December, subtype A (seasonal H3) predominated. Positive rates varied significantly across months (χ²=250.923, P<0.001). The temporal trends of ILI proportions and PCR-positive rates were consistent. Conclusion Influenza in Ordos City exhibits distinct seasonal and age distribution characteristics, with alternating or mixed circulation of three virus types. Continued efforts are needed to strengthen influenza surveillance, especially the prevention and control of influenza in infants and adolescents.

Three cases of renal pelvic neoplasm associated with staghorn calculi were enrolled to the study from March 2015 to June 2019. All patients underwent minimally invasive procedures previously including extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy(FURL), or percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL). 3 patients of renal pelvic neoplasm with giant staghorn calculus were diagnosed by resection biopsy during laparoscopic pyelolithotomy intraoperatively and then treated by laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy (LRNU). Case 1 was identified retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis 16 months after operation. Case 2 and 3 remained disease free. The timely diagnosis of renal pelvic neoplasm associated with staghorn calculi is always difficult, nevertheless, the laparoscopic pyelolithotomy with resection biopsy intraoperatively can be more effective in selected cases compared with routine endoscopic biopsy.

Objective To summarize the clinical experience of T3-4 thoracic sympathectomy in the treatment of primary hyperhidrosis.Methods The clinical data of 80 patients with primary hyperhidrosis who underwent T3-4 thoracic sympathectomy were analyzed retrospectively.Results The operation was successfully performed on all patients.The symptom of palmar hyperhidrosis vanished in all patients,the operative time was (42.5 ± 15.7) min,the length of stay in hospital was (3.9 ± 0.6) d.No death and Horner syndrome occurred.All the patients were followed up for 6-24 months,compensatory hyperhidrosis was found in 26 patients,and no recurrence was found.Conclusion T3-4 thoracic sympathectomy is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment for primary hyperhidrosis.

Objective The Nuss procedure is a minimally invasive pectus repair.The aim of this study was to explore the changes in quality of life in patients who underwent a Nuss procedure.Methods 96 patients,who underwent a Nuss procedure in our institution,were interviewed at preoperation,1 year after operation with the bar in place,and before the planned bar removal.The Nuss Questionnaire modified by George Krasopoulos et al,which evaluates psychosocial and physical well-being,was independently used by patients.Results Most of the scoring of the individual questions and the total score of individual patients revealed a significant improvement,both in preoperation vs.1 year after operation and 1 year after operation vs.before the planned bar removal.Conclusion The Nuss procedure has been shown to improve the quality of life in patients with pectus excavatum deformity in the short term.

Objective To summarize the experiences of Nuss procedure for complicated pectus excavatum.Methods From August 2006 to July 2011,443 patients with pectus excavatum received Nuss operation.Among them,95 patients with complicated pectus excavatum (CT Haller index ＞ 6) received modified technique of Nuss procedure,including multi-bar technique,oblique placed bar,double arc bar technique; fix with wire ; osteotomies ; auxiliary small incision; thoracoscopy placed by different lateral.Results All operations were successfully accomplished without severe complications.The mean operative time was (90.13 ± 39.12 ) minutes and the mean volume of blood loss was (45.41 ± 19.23 )ml.The mean hospital stay was (7.21 ± 2.87 ) days.All patients have been satisfied with their surgical correction.Therapeutic results evaluation was excellent in 75.8％ of patients,good in 16.8％.Conclusion Multi modified technique of Nuss procedure can lead to a satisfactory outcome for complicated pectus excavatum patients.

Background and purpose: Three-incision esophagectomy for patients with esophageal cancer has been increasingly used, but the incidence of either postoperative anastomotic leak or stricture is higher than that in intrathoracic gastroesophageal anastomosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical effects of the side-to-side stapled cervical gastroesophageal anastomosis in preventing anastomotic leak and stricture after three-incision esophagectomy. Methods: One hundred and twenty-seven patients undergoing three-incision esophagectomy for esophageal cancer with gastric replacement were reviewed. A side-to-side stapled cervical gastroesophageal anastomosis was performed in 71 cases and manually sewn anastomosis in 56 cases. The incidence of postoperative anastomotic leak and stricture was compared between these two groups and the results were statistically analyzed using SPSS11.0 soft.Results: Anastomotic leakage was noted in seven patients (9.9%) in the stapler group and fourteen patients (25.0%) in the manually sewn group (P=0.04). After the operation two patients (2.8%) in the stapler group and nine patients (16.1%) in the manually sewn group developed a benign esophageal stricture (P=0.02).The incidence of either postoperative anastomotic leak or stricture in cases of the stapler group was significantly lower than that in the manually sewn group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Construction of the cervical esophagogastric anastomosis with a side-to-side stapled technique provides a larger luminal diameter which significantly reduces the incidence of postoperative anastomotic strictures. The surgery also greatly reduces the incidence of anastomotic leaks and strictures, so it could be used as an alternative strategy for cervical esophagogastric anastomosis after esophagectomy for esophageal cancer

Objective:To assess the therapeutic effects and adverse reactions of MS Contin in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: 42 AMI patients were divided into experiment group and control group. Experiment group were given oral administration of MS Contin for 1 week besides the routine treatment of AMI for patients in the control group. Results: Between the two groups, the differences in the product of heart rate and blood pressure ( HR?BP) , the frequency of angina pecto-ris attack, the recovery time of the ST segment and the incidence of acute arrhythmia were significant. The most common side effects observed were: vomiting, constipation, hallucination, and the most severe toxic side effect was respiratory inhibition. Conclusion : In the treatment of AMI, MS Contin could relieve the pain effectively, reduce the incidence of angina pectoris attack and severe arrhythmia, decrease myocardial oxygen consumption, have tolerable side effects in the majority of patients. It is preferable to use MS Contin as a concurrent treatment of AMI.

Cardiac complications(cerebral-cardiac syndrome) very often induced by acute traumatic brain injury include abnomal ECG, decreased myocardial contractile function, increased myocardial enzymes and pathological changes etc. In order to better understand the cerebral-cardiac syndrome related to the traumatic brain injury, the major clinical features, mechanism and clinical significance are reviewed.
