Objective To investigate the epidemiological trends,temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis in Lanping County.Methods Based on tuberculosis management data and basic information systems from the"China Disease Prevention and Control Information System,"pulmonary tuberculosis data from Lanping County for 2018-2023 were obtained.Descriptive epidemiology,concentration method,circular distribution method,and spatial autocorrelation analysis were used to conduct epidemiological and spatial analyses of the pulmonary tuberculosis data.Results A total of 2836 TB cases were reported in Lanping County from 2018 to 2023,with an average annual incidence rate of 233.26 per 100000,showing a declining trend.The male-to-female ratio was 1.95∶1,with the highest incidence among individuals aged 60 and above(932 cases,32.86%).Cases were predominantly among farmers(91.01%)and the Lisu ethnic group(52.68%).TB incidence showed weak seasonality with a bimodal distribution,with primary peak occurring from October to March and secondary peak from June to August.Tu'e Township(324.74 per 100,000),Shideng Township(307.42 per 100000),and Jinding Town(260.98 per 100,000)had the highest incidence rates,accounting for 1,284 cases or 45.28%of the county's total cases.In 2020,the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in Lanping County showed a spatial clustering distribution(global Morans's I value<0,P value<0.05),with Shideng Township consistently showing high-low aggregation characteristics.Conclusion Between 2018-2023,while the tuberculosis incidence rate in Lanping County has declined,it still falls short of Yunnan Province's tuberculosis prevention and control targets,and the prevention and control work continues to face significant challenges.Strengthening screening of high-risk populations and providing medical support to remote areas will be key measures for future prevention and treatment.

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness of the 5A (Ask, Assess, Advise, Assist, Arrange follow-up) management model based on personalized health education records in community patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to select patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were enrolled with family doctors in Yuxin Community, Haidian District, Beijing, from January 2022 to May 2023. Using a random number table method, the patients were divided into an observation group ( n=68) and a control group ( n=68). The control group received routine community management, while the observation group received management based on the 5A model and personalized health education records. Differences in metabolic indicators, including glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference, as well as self-management behaviors were compared between the two groups at 3, 6, and 12 months of intervention. Results:During the entire intervention period, four cases were lost in the observation group and eight cases were lost in the control group. Finally, data from 124 patients were included in the analysis, including 64 cases in the observation group and 60 cases in the control group. Repeated measures analysis of variance showed interaction effects between time points and groups for HbA1c, BMI, waist circumference, and self-management behavior scores among patients with diabetes, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The 5A management model based on personalized health education records has a positive impact on improving metabolic indicators and self-management behaviors in community patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

  Objective  To investigate the clinical features of autoimmune glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) astrocytopathy.  Methods  We collected and analyzed the clinical and laboratory data and obtained the clinical characteristics of diagnosis and treatment from fifteen patients with positive GFAP antibody tested by cerebrospinal fluid and diagnosed autoimmune GFAP astrocytopathy by the multi-centers.  Results  The mean age of the first onset of autoimmune GFAP astrocytopathy was 39.73 years old (range 4-65 years), with no significant gender difference. In terms of clinical manifestations, we found the whole brain symptoms including abnormal mental behavior, disturbance of consciousness, epileptic attack accounting for more than 50, , meningitis accounting for 66.7%, myelitis (53.3%), limb tremor (53.3%), vision loss (33.3%); systemic symptoms including fever(100%) and fatigue(86.7%). 46.7% of patients were initially diagnosed with tuberculous meningoencephalitis and were treated with diagnostic antituberculous therapy. The MRI showed 46.7% of patients showed brain linear perivascular radial gadolinium enhancement in the white matter perpendicular to the ventricle.  Conclusions  Autoimmune GFAP astrocytopathy are acute or subacute dieases and the main clinical features include encephalitis, meningitis, myelitis and optic neuritis. They are likely to be misdiagnosed as tuberculous meningoencephalitis and can manifest progressive loss of consciousness in early phase, which is even life threatening.

Objective To study the prevalence and associated factors of loneliness in individuals with speech disability.Methods Using multi-stage stratified random cluster sampling method,170 community-residing ver-bally disabled persons were selected and administered with a general information questionnaire,one single -item loneliness self-rating question and social support scale.A total of 204 study questionnaires were distributed to the subjects;170 subjects(mean age:43.1±13.7 years)completed the survey.Results As high as 46.47% (79/170)of these verbally disabled individuals reported to feel lonely often.Females (OR=2.45),unemployment (OR=2.95), first and second degrees of disability (OR=4.35),co-existence of chronic illnesses (OR=6.50)and low utiliza-tion of social support (OR=2.58)were significantly associated with the increased risk of loneliness in persons with speech disability (P =0.002~0.046).Conclusion Loneliness is highly prevalent in individuals with speech disabili-ty.Verbally disabled persons,who are female,unemployed,severely disabled,and chronically ill and have a low use of social support,are the target population of mental health services.

Objective To investigate the effects of “patient-family-community”health promotion mode on patients with impaired glucose regulation(IGR).Methods Using the function of random case samples in SPSS,we randomly chose an experimental village and a control village respectively from all villages in Zhuqiao of Pudong New Area.Altogether 75 IGR patients who met the requirement were filtered in the two villages. According to the villages they belonging to,39 of them were divided into experimental group and 36 to control group.From March 201 4 to August 201 4, subjects in the experimental group were intervened by“patient-family-community”health promotion mode,while participants in the control group used the regular health guidance.We compared the test score of knowledge-attitude-practice (KAP) questionnaire,family APGAR questionnaire and blood glucose between two groups.Results Relevant indexes of the two groups before intervention showed no difference (P >0.05).After intervention,the knowledge(K),attitude(A)and practice (P)test scores of the experimental group were (8.85 ±1 .31 ),(8.87 ±1 .77)and (6.92 ±2.67),higher than (5.86 ±2.37),(6.78 ±2.92)and (3.89 ±3.02)of the control group(Z =-5.1 89,-3.299,-4.042;P <0.05).The APGAR test scores of the experimental group(7.56 ±1 .90)was higher than(6.47 ±1 .77)of the control group(t =2.571 ,P <0.05).The FPG,2hPG and HbA1 c of the experimental group were (5.86 ± 0.50)mmol/L,(8.02 ±0.72)mmol/L and(5.73 ±0.42)%,which were lower than (6.1 1 ±0.45)mmol/L, (8.60 ±0.97)mmol/L and(5.97 ±0.53)% of the control group (t =-2.293,-2.383,-2.1 70;P <0.05).Conclusions Applying “patient-family-community”health promotion mode can improve the KAP, family function of IGR patients,control their blood glucose better and prevent diabetes.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the expression of prostaglandin transporter (PGT) in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues and its relationship with clinicopathological features.

METHODSThe mRNA and protein levels of PGT were determined by real-time PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemical methods in cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissue from 80 patients with colorectal cancer and their relationship with clinicopathological features was analyzed.

RESULTSCompared with the adjacent normal tissue of colorectal cancer, the PGT mRNA relative expression (0.57 ± 0.33 vs. 2.33 ± 1.20) and the PGT protein expression in cancer tissues decreased significantly [PGT/GAPDH 0.45 ± 0.16 vs. 0.78 ± 0.23, integral A 718.7 ± 359.4 vs. 10412.0 ± 6423.3, average A 0.03 ± 0.01 vs. 0.12 ± 0.09, all P<0.01]. Lower mRNA and protein expressions of PGT in colorectal cancer were associated with depth of invasion T3 to T4 and TNM stage III( to IIII( (P<0.01), while not associated with gender, age, tumor location and differentiation degree (all P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONExpression levels of PGT mRNA and protein in colorectal cancer tissue are significantly down-regulation. PGT expression is associated with invasion depth and late stages.
