Objective:
To investigate the status of tuberculin skin test (TST) results and the influencing factors among student close contacts with pulmonary tuberculosis, so as to provide the evidence for developing prevention and control strategies for pulmonary tuberculosis among students.
Methods:
The students aged 15 years and above who had close contact with pulmonary tuberculosis cases in Yuecheng District, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, from October 2016 to December 2023 were recruited and investigated using questionnaires and TST to collect demographic information, contact history, and TST results. The influencing factors for TST positivity among student close contacts with pulmonary tuberculosis were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 5 507 student close contacts were investigated, including 2 982 males and 2 525 females, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.18∶1. The mean age was (19.10±1.71) years. Among them, 397 (7.21%) were technical secondary school students, 766 (13.91%) were senior high school students, 2 556 (46.41%) were junior college students, and 1 788 (32.47%) were college students or above. A total of 958 students tested positive for TST, with a positivity rate of 17.40%. The rates of general positivity, moderate positivity, and strong positivity were 10.53%, 4.98% and 1.89%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that senior high school students (OR=1.473, 95%CI: 1.009-2.152) and junior college students (OR=1.467, 95%CI: 1.074-2.005), as well as those with an exposure-to-screening interval of ≥46 days (46-<61 days, OR=2.043, 95%CI: 1.478-2.826; ≥61 days, OR=1.291, 95%CI: 1.018-1.637) had a higher risk of TST positivity. Female student close contacts had a lower risk of TST positivity (OR=0.753, 95%CI: 0.649-0.873).
Conclusion
The TST positivity rate was relatively high, and gender, school type, and exposure-to-screening interval were influencing factors for TST positivity among student close contacts with pulmonary tuberculosis.

ObjectiveTo analyze the influencing factors for recurrence in successfully treated pulmonary tuberculosis patients with isoniazid-resistant and rifampicin-sensitive in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province. MethodsData on general demographic information, treatment information and drug susceptibility test results for pulmonary tuberculosis patients admitted to the designated tuberculosis medical institutions and registered in the tuberculosis information management system was collected in Shaoxing City from January 2011 to August 2024. A total of 428 patients with isoniazid resistance (including isoniazid single resistance and multiple resistance) but who were successfully treated were included in the study. Information for the recurrence after successful treatment of the patients was analyzed. The Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze the influencing factors of recurrence in patients. ResultsAmong the 428 successfully treated patients included in the study, 31 cases (accounting for 7.24%) had recurrence by the end of the observation period, with a recurrence rate density of 1.31 per 100 person-years and a median recurrence time of 0.99 (0.08, 8.27) years. Among the relapsed population, 51.61% of the patients relapsed within one year after successful treatment. 77.42% of the patients relapsed within two years after successful treatment. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that when isoniazid resistance was discovered, the diagnosis classification of relapse (HR=4.115, 95%CI: 1.734‒9.767) and positive 0-month sequence smear (HR=4.457, 95%CI: 1.053‒18.866) were risk factors for recurrence after successful treatment in patients. ConclusionRegular follow-up should be strengthened for at least two years after the successful treatment of isoniazid-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Special attention should be paid to the treatment effect and regular re-examination and monitoring after the end of the treatment course of isoniazid-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis patients who have been re-treated and were sputum smear positive at baseline, so as to prevent recurrence and disease progression in high-risk populations.

Objective To investigate the influencing factors for the prognosis of adult patients with chronic drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Methods A total of 255 patients who were diagnosed with chronic DILI by liver biopsy in The Fifth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2014 to December 2018 were enrolled, and according to the liver function after 2 years, they were divided into non-recovery group and recovery group. The two groups were analyzed in terms of the clinical data including age, sex, body mass index, types of drugs used, type of DILI injury, severity of DILI injury, underlying diseases, laboratory markers, liver histology, and 2-year prognosis. The t -test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups; the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to investigate the independent risk factors for the prognosis of chronic DILI. Results After 2 years of follow-up, 195 patients (76.5%) achieved the recovery of liver function, while 60 patients (23.5%) did not achieve such recovery. There were significant differences between the two groups in the type of DILI injury ( P =0.028), the proportion of patients with diabetes ( P =0.048), and the degree of liver fibrosis ( P < 0.001), and compared with the recovery group, the non-recovery group had significantly higher levels of baseline white blood cell count, platelet count (PLT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, and total bile acid and a significantly lower level of cholinesterase (ChE) (all P < 0.05). The baseline characteristics were included in the univariate logistic regression analysis, and the results showed that PLT, ALT, AST, ChE, and fibrosis degree were significantly associated with the prognosis of chronic DILI (all P < 0.05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis of the above variables showed that PLT < 100×10 9 /L (odds ratio [ OR ]=3.592, 95% confidence interval [ CI ]: 1.128-11.438, P =0.003) and ALT > 2×upper limit of normal (ULN) ( OR =3.080, 95% CI : 1.331-7.127, P =0.009) were independent risk factors for the prognosis of chronic DILI. Conclusion When patients meet the diagnostic criteria for chronic DILI, the independent risk factors PLT < 100×10 9 /L and ALT > 2×ULN may be used to screen out the patients who are more likely to have poor prognosis.

Objective:To construct enhanced computed tomography (CT)-based nomograph model, to assist physicians in differentiating gastric schwannoma from gastric stromal tumor.Methods:From January 1, 2012 to January 1, 2022, at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine and Ningbo Hwamei Hospital, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, 57 patients with gastric schwannoma and 275 patients with gastric stromal tumor confirmed by surgical pathology were retrospectively collected, among whom 39 patients with gastric schwannoma and 201 patients with gastric stromal tumor were enrolled in the training set, and the other 18 patients with gastric schwannoma and 74 patients with gastric stromal tumor were enrolled in the validation set. The contrast-enhanced CT imaging features (tumor size index, arterial phase CT value, venous phase CT value, necrosis, calcification, integrity of mucosal surface, and uniform enhancement, etc.) and clinical data (history of gastritis, carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), carcinoembryonic antigen, and monocyte to lymphocyte ratio (MLR), etc.) were collected. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis was used to screen the independent predictive factors of imaging features in the differential diagnosis of gastric schwannoma and gastric stromal tumor, and a nomograph model was constracted. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze and screen the independent predictive factors of clinical indicators to distinguish gastric schwannoma from gastric stromal tumor, and a clinical control model was established. The receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC) was used to analyze the area under the curve (AUC) of the nomograph model in the training set and the verification set, and concordance index (CI) and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the predictive efficiency and clinical application value of the nomograph model. DeLong test was used for statistical analysis.Results:The results of LASSO regression analysis showed that tumor size index, arterial phase CT value, venous phase CT value, necrosis, calcification, integrity of mucosal surface, and uniform enhancement were independent predictive factors of imaging features in the differential diagnosis of gastric schwannoma and gastric stromal tumor(all P<0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis indicated that the history of gastritis ( OR=0.280, 95% confidence interval 0.138 to 0.566), CA19-9 ( OR=0.940, 95% confidence interval 0.890 to 0.993), carcinoembryonic antigen ( OR=0.794, 95% confidence interval 0.661 to 0.952), and MLR ( OR=0.087, 95% confidence interval 0.009 to 0.860) were independent predictive factors of clinical indicators in the differential diagnosis of gastric schwannoma and gastric stromal tumor ( P<0.001, =0.028, 0.013 and 0.037). The AUCs of the nomograph model in the training and validation set were 0.881 and 0.850, respectively, and the AUCs of the clinical control model in the training and validation set were 0.814 and 0.772, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( Z=2.57 and 1.96, P=0.005 and 0.030). The average CI of the nomograph model was 0.885. The results of DCA analysis showed that the overall benefit of the nomograph model was higher than that of the clinical control model. Conclusion:The enhanced CT-based nomograph model can effectively distinguish gastric schwannoma from gastric stromal tumor, and can help physicians to make precise clinical decisions.
