Objective To analyze and evaluate the implementation effect of tuberculosis prevention and control program in Wuhan, and to provide reference for scientific formulation of tuberculosis prevention and control measures. Methods Using the National Tuberculosis Information Management System, descriptive statistical analysis was carried out on the medical record information of pulmonary tuberculosis patients registered in Wuhan , 2016 - 2021. Results A total of 34 937 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis were registered in Wuhan , with an average annual incidence rate of 49.85/100 000. The incidence rate showed a downward trend year by year, with a statistically significant difference in 2016—2021 (χ2trend = 708.387, P<0.001). The patients mainly came from referrals, accounting for 71.86%, and the proportion of referrals varied significantly among different years (χ2=355.541, P<0.001). The diagnosis type was mainly pathogenic negative, accounting for 49.12%. The proportion of pathogenic negative had statistically significant difference among different years (χ2=1 354.830, P<0.001). The proportion of patients cured and completed the course of treatment reached 93.98%, with statistically significant differences in the proportions among different years (cured, χ2=1 080.252, P<0.001; completed the treatment course, χ2= 933.655, P<0.001). The sputum examination rate of newly diagnosed patients in each year reached over 90%, and the overall completion rate reached over 95%. The proportion of positive pathogens showed an increasing trend year by year. Conclusion The overall epidemic situation of tuberculosis in Wuhan is declining year by year, and tuberculosis prevention and control work has achieved remarkable results. Active screening in key areas and populations should be strengthened, and prevention and control strategies should be formulated by emphasizing the key and difficult points.

Objective To explore the effect of social support and coping style on posttraumatic growth of ostomy patients. Methods A total of 237 patients with ostomy from Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University were investigated using General questionnaire, Perceived Social Support Scale, Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory by cross-sectional survey method from September 2017 to March 2018. The path of social support and coping style on post-traumatic growth was established by correlation analysis and structural equation model. Results The total score of posttraumatic growth in patients with ostomy was (66.76±12.20) points, which was at the upper-middle level. Correlation analysis showed that posttraumatic growth was positively correlated with comprehension of social support (r=0.551, P<0.01), positively correlated with face style (r=0.580, P<0.01), negatively correlated with avoidance style and resignation style (r=-0.334, P<0.01;r=-0.449, P<0.01). Structural equation model showed social support had directly positive effect on posttraumatic growth, path coefficient were 0.44. Face style, avoidance style, and resignation style had a partial mediating effect between social support and posttraumatic growth, and mediation effects account for 20.01%, 5.21%, 9.25%of the total effect, respectively. Conclusions The posttraumatic growth level of patients with ostomy needs to be improved. Medical staff should strengthen social support for patients and guide patients to adopt the positive coping styles, reduce the avoidance and resignation coping styles, and promote patients to get more posttraumatic growth, furthermore, improve their social adaptability and quality of life.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of somatostatin (SS)combined with growth hormone (GH) in treatment of intestinal mucosal barrier injury in rabbits with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), as well as its clinical significance. Methods Seventy-two rabbits were equally assigned into model group (SAP group), SS treated group (SS group) and SS combined with GH treated group (SS + GH group). SAP models were induced by retro-injection of 5% sodium taurocholate into the pancreatic duct. After modeling, all rabbits were given 5 % glucose saline daily.The rabbits in SS group and SS+GH group were continuously Given SS (3.5μg·kg-1·h-1)for 48 hours. Besides, the rabbits in SS+GH group were subcutaneously injected with 0.15 IU/kg of GH at the 1st and the 24th hours after modeling. The levels of serum amylase, serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and plasma diamine oxidase were measured at the 6th, 12th, 24th and 48th hours after modeling. The pathological changes of pancreatic tissue and ileal mucosa were observed. Survival rate was calculated. Data were analyzed using SPSS 16.0 software. The univariate analysis was used to compare the difference among groups. Results In SS+GH group, the levels of serum TNF-α and plasma diamine oxidase were (2. 43 ± 0. 14) pg/ml and (4. 61 ± 0. 45) U/L at the 24th hour respectively, and were (2.08±0.23) pg/ml and (3.75±0.47) U/L at the 48th hour, respectively,which were lower than those in SAP group and SS group [(2.80 0.30) pg/ml and (8.74 ± 1.77)U/L, respectively, at the 24th hour; (2. 45±0.12) pg/ml and (5. 02±0.95) U/L, respectively, at the 48th hour)]with significant difference (P<0.05). The inflammation in pancreas and ileal mucosa was alleviated, and the integrity of bowel mucosa was improved. Survival rate of SS+GH group was significantly higher than SAP group and SS group. There was no significant difference in level of serum amylase between SS+GH group and SS group. Conclusion The combination of SS with GH may enhance the function of intestinal mucosa barrier and improve the prognosis of SAP in rabbits.
