Objective To analyze and compare the auxiliary value and significance of γ-interferon release assay (IGRA) in the diagnosis of tuberculosis. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted to collect the test results of 462 suspected tuberculosis patients who underwent IGRA detection in the outpatient department of Tianjin Tuberculosis Control Center from January 2020 to December 2021. According to the diagnostic results, they were divided into a tuberculosis group of 229 cases (203 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis and 26 cases of extrapulmonary tuberculosis) and a non-tuberculosis group of 233 cases. The auxiliary diagnostic value of IGRA for tuberculosis was analyzed and compared with two methods of Mycobacterium tuberculosis culture and Xpert MTB/RIF. Results The positive rates of IGRA, Mycobacterium tuberculosis culture, and Xpert MTB/RIF in TB patients were 76.42%, 29.26% and 40.62%, respectively, compared with the non-TB group (38.20%, 0.00%, 0.00%), with statistically significant differences (P<0.001). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of IGRA alone in the detection of tuberculosis were 76.42%, 61.80%, 69.29%, and 72.73% respectively, those of Mycobacterium tuberculosis culture were 29.26%, 98.28%, 94.37%, and 63.43%, and those of Xpert MTB/RIF were 40.60%, 100%, 100%, and 63.14%. The positive rates of IGRA were 76.85% and 73.08% in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and extrapulmonary tuberculosis, respectively, with no statistical significance (P>0.05). The positive rates of IGRA in bacterial positive patients and non-tuberculosis patients were 79.34% and 38.20%, respectively, with statistical significance (χ2=54.526, P<0.001). The positive rates of IGRA in patients with and without tuberculosis were 73.15% and 38.20%, respectively, with significant difference (χ2=36.456, P<0.001). Conclusions IGRA has a relatively high sensitivity in the diagnosis of tuberculosis and also has certain advantages in the screening of extrapulmonary tuberculosis and mycobacterium-negative It provides important reference basis for the clinical diagnosis of tuberculosis.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of neonatal nosocomial infection and establish a risk prediction model.Methods:The medical records of patients in the neonatal ward of Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University in 2023 were collected and divided into infection group and non-infection group according to whether nosocomial infection occurred. Univariate analysis was used to compare the differences of related factors between two groups. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the independent risk factors of neonatal nosocomial infection and construct the risk prediction model. The predictive value of the model was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve.Results:A total of 3 487 neonates were included in the study, including 1 881 males and 1 606 females. The median gestational age was 35 (32,38) weeks, and the median birth weight was 2 470(1 760,3 200) g. There were 158 cases in infection group and 3 329 cases in non-infection group. The main types of nosocomial infection were neonatal septicemia (142 cases,85.5%), central venous catheter-related infection (13 cases, 7.8%) and respiratory tract infection (eight cases, 4.8%). The main pathogens were Klebsiella pneumoniae (50 strains, 29.8%), Escherichia coli (26 strains, 15.5%)，and Staphylococcus epidermidis (25 strains, 14.9%). The independent risk factors of neonatal nosocomial infection were low birth weight ( OR=0.999,95% CI 0.999-1.000, P=0.039), central venous catheter placement ( OR=2.122, 95% CI 1.359-3.315, P=0.001), tracheal intubation ( OR=3.241, 95% CI 1.811-5.798, P<0.001)，and parenteral nutrition ( OR=11.087,95% CI 3.696-33.258, P<0.001). The regression equation of the established risk prediction model was Logit( P) =-47.407-0.001× birth weight +0.752× central venous catheter placement +1.176× tracheal intubation +2.406× parenteral nutrition. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.870, the sensitivity was 89.2%, and the specificity was 76.0%,respectively. Conclusion:The risk prediction model of low birth weight, central venous catheter placement, tracheal intubation and parenteral nutrition is a good predictor of neonatal nosocomial infection and has certain clinical application value.

Objective:To explore the sleep status and impact factor analysis of patients in clinical trials of antineoplastic drugs, and provide a basis for improving the sleep status and impact analysis of patients in clinical trials of antineoplastic drugs.Methods:From April to May 2023, 107 oncology patients in the Phase I Clinical Trial Ward of the Affiliated East Hospital of Tongji University were selected as the research objects by convenient sampling method. The general information questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale (PSQI), Numeric rating scale (NRS), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) and Depression Self-Ration Tool Scale (PHQ-9). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis methods were used to carry out a cross-sectional investigation and the relevant factors affecting patients′sleep.Results:Totally 103 questionnaires were effectively collected. The 103 patients′ age ranged from 20 to 75 years old, including 61 males and 42 females. 47.57% (49/103) patients in clinical trials of antineoplastic drugs had abnormal sleep. The average score of patients (PSQI) (7.66 ± 3.93) was higher than the average score of the domestic norm (3.88 ± 2.52), and there was significant statistical difference ( t = 9.76, P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that pain ( OR = 3.004, 95% CI 1.135-7.948, P<0.05) and trial cycle ( OR = 0.432, 95% CI 0.191-0.978, P<0.05) were significant risk factors for abnormal sleep quality. Conclusions:The incidence of abnormal sleep quality in patients of clinical trials of antineoplastic drugs is high, but the sleep quality is poor. The factors that affect the sleep quality of patients in clinical trials of antineoplastic drugs are mainly related to the patient′s trial cycle and cancer pain. According to these characteristics, individualized programs should be developed to improve the sleep quality of patients with advanced cancer, so as to improve the quality of life of patients with advanced cancer.

Objective To evaluate transurethral fulguration with intravesical instillation of heparin and alkalinized lidocaine for the treatment of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS).Methods Data from the chnical records of 31 patients (30 female and 1 male) with IC/BPS were analyzed retrospectively.Transurethral fulguration and biopsy were performed.Intravesical instillation of heparin and alkalinized lidocaine (25 000 units of hepmin,10 mL of 2％ lidocaine,and 5 mL of 5％ sodium bicarbonate) was administered weekly for 8 weeks.Thereafter,intmvesical instillation treatment was administered twice a month.The interstitial cystitis symptom index and problem index (O'Leary-Sant index),visual analog scale score for pain,quality-of-life index,voiding frequency,bladder capacity,and side effects of intravesical instillation were recorded preoperatively and at the first and sixth month follow-ups postoperatively.Results The follow-up period was 6 to 24 months.The interstitial cystitis symptom index and problem index,visual analog scale score for pain,quality-of-life index,daily voiding time,and maximal bladder volume improved significantly in 28 cases (90.32％;P ＜ 0.01),and no significant adverse effects were observed.Two patients underwent cystectomy,and the symptoms disappeared after the operation.Carcinoma in situ was detected on histopathological examination in one patient.Conclusion Transurethral fulguration with intravesical instillation of heparin and alkalinized lidocaine is a safe and effective therapy for IC/BPS.
