ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in children in Tianjin, and provide reference for the prevention and treatment of RSV infection in children.Methods:Clinical data of 2 743 children with acute respiratory infections treated at the Tianjin Fifth Central Hospital from January 2022 to January 2024 were collected. Multiplex fluorescent PCR was used to detect the nucleic acid fragments of six respiratory pathogens including Mycoplasma pneumoniae, human rhinovirus, adenovirus, influenza A virus, influenza B virus and RSV in the throat swabs of the patients. A retrospective analysis was performed on the epidemiological and clinical data of RSV-RNA positive cases. Results:The positive rate of RSV-RNA in the 2 743 children was 15.09% (414/2 743). The positive rate of RSV-RNA was 9.29% (73/786) in 2022 and 16.53% (302/1 827) in 2023, with a statistically significant difference between the two years (χ 2=23.45, P<0.05). The incidence of RSV infection in winter and spring was significantly different from that in summer and autumn (χ 2=19.46, P<0.05). The highest and the lowest infection rates of RSV were found in winter (19.32%, 193/999) and autumn (9.43%, 45/477), respectively. There was a significant difference in RSV infection rate among different age groups (χ 2=71.38, P<0.05), with the highest infection rate in the age group of 0-2 years (21.18%, 230/1 086), and the lowest infection rate in the age group of 6-8 years (6.29%, 27/429). Among the 414 children with RSV infection, 359 cases (84.97%) were infected with RSV alone, while the other 55 cases (13.29%) were infected with mixed pathogens. Fifty-two cases had co-infection of RSV and one other pathogen. The most common pathogens in co-infection cases were human rhinovirus (4.83%, 20/414) and Mycoplasma pneumoniae (6.04%, 25/414). Conclusions:The RSV infection rate among children with acute respiratory tract infection in Tianjin from 2022 to 2024 was 15.09%, with the highest infection rate in spring and the lowest infection rate in autumn. RSV infection can occur in children of all ages, with the highest infection rate in children aged 0-2 years and the lowest infection rate in children aged 6-8 years. RSV infection is often complicated by other respiratory pathogens, and the most common pathogens are human rhinovirus and Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the changes and clinical significance of blood coagulation function and von Willebrand factor antigen (vWF:Ag) in patients with HELLP syndrome (hemolysis, elevated liver function, low platelet count).Methods:The clotting data of patients with severe preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome (observation group) admitted to the department of critical care medicine of the Fifth Center Hospital in Tianjin from May 2015 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, and normal late pregnancy women with the same period were enrolled as the control group. The coagulation indexes such as prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thrombin time (APTT), antithrombin (AT), fibrinogen (Fib), D-dimer and plasma vWF:Ag level were compared between the two groups, and among patients with HELLP syndrome with different disease degree.Results:① Sixty-five patients with HELLP syndrome and 65 normal pregnant women with third trimester were included. Both groups were women of childbearing age, and there were no significant difference in the baseline data. ② The levels of Fib, D-dimer in both groups increased, but they were significantly higher in the observation group than those in the control group [Fib (g/L): 4.94 (4.76, 5.85) vs. 3.58 (2.97, 4.14), D-dimer (mg/L): 3.34 (2.55, 4.32) vs. 1.72 (1.29, 2.08), both P < 0.05], the AT was obviously reduced [62.00 (49.00, 73.00)% vs. 97.50 (90.75, 107.00)%, P < 0.01], and both PT and APTT were in the normal reference range in the two groups. In addition, the plasma vWF:Ag level in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [516.50 (467.20, 563.00)% vs. 246.45 (189.95, 274.10)%, P < 0.01]. ③ According to thrombocytopenia, among the 65 patients with HELLP syndrome, 26 cases were mild [platelet count (PLT) > 100×10 9/L], 22 cases were moderate [PLT (50-100)×10 9/L], and 17 cases were severe (PLT < 50×10 9/L). With the aggravation of the disease, the D-dimer, Fib, vWF:Ag levels in the mild, moderate, severe patients significantly increased, while the AT level significantly decreased, and there was statistically significant difference between the two groups [D-dimer (mg/L): 2.63 (2.60, 2.73), 3.15 (2.55, 3.73), 3.84 (3.52, 4.23); Fib (g/L): 4.23 (4.06, 4.47), 4.72 (4.34, 5.04), 5.43 (5.14, 5.76); vWF:Ag: 465.20 (437.20, 495.40)%, 500.10 (472.40, 534.50)%, 543.50 (521.30, 563.00)%; AT: 67.50 (61.60, 78.00)%, 63.70 (53.30, 70.40)%, 54.40 (44.00, 61.20)%; all P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Patients with HELLP syndrome may show hypercoagulability and excessive expression of peripheral blood vWF:Ag level, which can induce platelet aggregation, leading to thrombocytopenia and thrombotic microangiopathy, and the clinicians should pay attention to that.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the efficacy of double low-profile visualized intraluminal support (LVIS) stent assisted embolization in the treatment of acute intracranial wide-neck aneurysms and its relation with levels of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (SICAM-1) and S100B. Methods A total of 114 patients with acute intracranial wide-neck aneurysms admitted to our hospital from June 2014 to December 2018 were collected. According to different treatment options, the patients in the study group (n=58) were treated with double LVIS stent-assisted embolization, while those in the control group (n=56) were treated with LVIS stent-assisted embolization. The embolization degrees of intracranial wide-necked aneurysms were evaluated by Raymond grading immediately after surgery, the efficacy of the patients was evaluated by modified Rankin scale (mRS) at discharge, and the serum SICAM-1 and S100B protein levels of the patients with different treatment methods and different curative effects before and after surgery were compared. Results As compared with those in the control group, the degrees of arterial embolization immediately after surgery and good therapeutic effect rate at discharge were significantly higher in the study group (P<0.05). After treatment, the serum levels of SICAM-1 and S100B were significantly lower in the study group than those in the control group (P<0.05). The levels of SICAM-1 and S100B in patients with good therapeutic effect ([147.5±9.8] mg/mL and [0.106±0.027] mg/mL) were significantly lower than those in the patients with poor therapeutic effect ([172.8 ±4.0] mg/mL and [0.158±0.002] mg/mL, P<0.05). Conclusions The embolization rate and therapeutic effect can be significantly improved in patients with acute intracranial wide-neck aneurysms after double-LVIS stent-assisted embolization. The serum levels of SICAM-1 and S100B are significantly increased in patients with poor therapeutic effect.

ABSTRACT
Purpose To investigate the expression and clinical significance of the cell cycle inhibitors p16 protein and specific recogni-tion of viral replication intermediate TLR3 in the cervical intraepithelial neoplasia ( CIN) and cervical invasive carcinoma. Methods Immunohistochemical stain was used to detect the expressions of p16 and TLR3 in 19 cases of normal cervical epithelium ( NCE) , 62 cases of CIN, and 17 cases of cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Results The positive rates of p16 protein were 0, 72. 5%and 100% in NCE, CIN and SCC respectively in which the difference among those groups were statistically significant ( P<0. 01 ) . Similarly, the positive rates of TLR3 protein were 26. 3%, 87% and 100% in NCE, CIN and SCC respectively and the difference a-mong those groups was significant (P<0. 01). Furthermore, there was a significant and positive correlation between the expression of p16 and TLR3 (rs =0. 538, P<0. 01). Conclusion Increased expression is observed in CIN and SCC compared with NCE and the expression of p16 and TLR3 is associated with level of CIN. Those could provide certain experiment basis for the pathologica diagnosis of early cervical cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the feasibility of clinical staging and standardization of therapy for patients with gallstones.Methods The clinical data of 326 cases of gallstones treated in our hospital from January 2012 to December 2013 were collected.Appropriate surgical procedures were selected based on preoperative staging (stags Ⅰ -Ⅳ)that was conducted according to the degree of pathological damage in the gallbladder.Clinical efficacy was observed for assessment.Results Among 57 patients categorized as stage I,53 cases received chole-dochoscopy by small incision for preservation of the gallbladder,including 3 cases converted to cholecystostomy and 1 case of recurrent gall-stones one year later;laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed in the remaining 4 cases.A total of 152 patients were categorized as stageⅡ:122 cases received laparoscopic cholecystectomy,of which 2 cases were converted to open cholecystectomy,2 cases developed bile leak-age,and none suffered serious complication of bile duct injury;open cholecystectomy was performed in the other 30 cases in category II,2 of which had fat liquefaction at the incision,but complications of bile leakage and bile duct injury were not observed.There were 87 patients with stage Ⅲ disease:among 50 cases who received open cholecystectomy,3 cases developed fat liquefaction at the incision,but no bile leakage and bile duct injury were observed;in the remaining 37 cases who received open choledochoscope -assisted cholecystostomy,7 ca-ses developed fat liquefaction at the incision,and 10 cases eventually underwent open cholecystectomy three months after the operation due to cystic duct closure and opening abnormality detected by angiography.Thirty patients with stage IV disease underwent cholecystectomy and choledocholithotomy,of which 2 cases developed fat liquefaction at the incision,but no bile leakage and bile duct injury were observed.All 326 patients were cured without mortality.The incidence of adverse events was 6.75%.Conclusion The standardization of therapy for pa-tients with gallstones is an effective approach to ensure the clinical efficacy and to avoid or reduce postoperative complications.It should be promoted in clinical settings.
ABSTRACT
Purpose To investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics, differential diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of differentia-ted-type vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia ( dVIN) . Methods Clinicopathologic findings and immunophenotypes of 6 cases diagnosed as“dVIN” were retrospectively analyzed, and the relevant literatures were also reviewed. Results 6 patients were all female ranged 53~80 years old with mean age of 62 years old. Clinical aspects included leukoplakia vulvar, pruitis, irritation, pain, ulcer and so on. The histopathological features were hyperplasia of basal and parabasal layer with elongation and anastomosing reteridges. Cells were marked atypia with obvious nucleoli, atypical mitosis, and dyskeratosis. In the middle and surface layer, cells were well differentiated with pronounced intercellular bridges, and eosinophilic cytoplasm, hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis. Oedema and band of infiltration of chronic inflammatory cells of subepidermal could been seen. Immuohistochemistry showed the expression rates of p53 and p16 in totally 6 cases were 83. 3% (5/6), 0 (0/6), respectively. The Ki-67 index was more than 90% in basal and parabasal cells. Four patients were followed up ( mean follow-up 17 months, range 6~36 months) , one patient died at 9 months later after surgery, another patient recurred at 6 months later after surgery, both of the 2 cases were all with invasive lesions after resection, and the rest two cases had no recur in 18 months and 36 months after surgery, respectively. Conclusion dVIN is a high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions of vulvar with low incidence rate, but had more risk of progression. p53, p16 and Ki-67 stain were useful in the diagnosis of dVIN.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics, prognosis and histologic origin of the mucinous tumor of the peritoneum.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>According to 2010 WHO classification of tumours of the digestive system, 34 cases diagnosed as "pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) " were reevaluated and divided into low grade and high grade. Immunohistochemistry was applied to investigate the expression of SATB2 and the histologic origin of the mucinous tumor of the peritoneum, using antibodies against SATB2, CK7, CK20 and CDX-2. The relationship between clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis of the low grade and high grade tumors were analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Twenty five patients had low grade mucinous tumors (two of them were no cell type), nine patients had high grade mucinous tumors. There was no significant difference between low grade and high grade mucinous tumors in age, sex, recurrence and organs involvement (P>0.05). Thirty patients were followed up, the overall survival rates of patients with low grade and high grade mucinous tumors were 13/21 (61.9%) and 3/9, respectively. The median survival time was 74 and 24 months in low and high grade patients, and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.002).Immunohistochemistry showed the expression rates of CDX-2, CK20, and CK7 in totally 32 cases (excluding 2 cases of no cell type) were 30/32(93.8%), 31/32 (96.9%), and 3/16, respectively; the expression rates of CDX-2, CK20, and CK7 in 16 cases with distinct primary site were 15, 16, and 1, respectively; fifteen of 16 cases of tumors of unknown primary site were positive for CDX-2 and CK20, two of the them were positive for CK7. There was no difference in the expression of CDX-2, CK20 and CK7 between tumors with distinct primary site and tumors with unknown primary site (P>0.05). The expression rate of SATB2 in the cases was 56.3% (18/32), excluding 2 cases of no cell type. There was no significant difference between low grade and high grade tumors in the expression of SATB2 [15/23(65.2%) vs 3/9, P=0.102], also SATB2 was not related to the prognosis of the tumor (P=0.786).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The prognosis of the mucinous tumor of the peritoneum was significantly different between low grade and high grade according to WHO 2010 classification, and most mucinous tumor of the peritoneum originated from the appendix.</p>

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the control status and knowledge level about disease in asthmatic patients in region level cities of Shaanxi province for effect appraisal of patient education.Methods Eight hospitals were selected from six region level cities, where questionnaire survey was completed in out-patients with asthma (≥ 14 years old).Results A total of 523 patients completed the questionnaire with a ratio of male to female of 1: 1.14,and an average age of (44.3±15.5) years old.The percentage of controlled, partly controlled and uncontrolled by self-evaluation was respectively 26.4%, 52.4% and 11.1%.48% insisted on using inhaled corticosteroids (ICS).The average score was 17.88±4.43 by asthma control test (ACT).The first three medicines used daily were ICS (26.6%), sustained-release theophyline (25.2%) and combination ICS/long-acting β2-agonists (21.8%).12.6% had no medicine and 5.2% used non-orthodox medicines.68.6% patients had omen before exacerbation, and those were sneezing, chest distress and cough.73.6% knew asthma is a disease of airway inilammatian,and 33.3% selected ICS as the leader medicine.Only 32.1% attended the lecture about asthma in hospitals and 85.0% longed for such education.Conclusions The control status and knowledge level about disease in asthmatic patients in cities still need to be improved in Shaanxi province, and too much work need to be done in order to realize the total control in all patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the CT findings of tuberculous lymphadenitis in parotid gland, so as to improve the diagnostic accuracy of tuberculosis of parotid gland. Methods Nine cases with tuberculous lymphadenitis in parotid gland confirmed by surgical pathology and acid-fast bacilli after preoperative spiral CT plain scan and two phases dynamic enhancement scan were retrospectively analyzed.Imaging findings of CT were reviewed and compared with surgical pathology. Results Seven of the 9 cases of tuberculosis of the parotid gland occurred in the left side, and 2 in the right side, and superficial lobe involvement occurred in 8 cases and deep lobe in 1 ease. The lesion was classified as tumour type (8 cases)and infiltration type (1 case). In tumour type, the number of lesion was from 1 to 4, and the size was from 2.7 to 5.3 cm in diameter. One case of infiltration type measured 3.4 cm in diameter. On CT plain scan,the lesions showed homogeneous slight high-density with regular edge in 5 cases and irregular low-density in 4 cases, and 2 of them with partly blurred edge. On CT enhanced scan, uniform moderate enhancement was seen in 3 cases, circular enhancement in 4 cases, inhomogeneous enhancement in 1 case, and lace-like enhancement in 1 case. Local infiltration occurred in 6 cases. Lymphadenovarix in the same side of lesion occurred in 2 cases. Conclusion CT findings of tuberculous lymphadenitis in parotid gland present diversification, which correlate well with pathological changes. Understanding of characteristic CT findings of tuberculous lymphadenitis in parotid gland is helpful for differential diagnosis, but final diagnosis still depends on pathology and acid-fast baeilli.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the curative effect on superselective uterine artery embolization for treatment of placenta inereta.Methods Pelvic arteriography was performed to confirm bleeding vessels.Then a 5 F Cobra catheter was inserted superselectively into uterine artery ipsilateral to bleeding,through which methotrexatum(MTX)and gelatin sponge were injected for embolization.After the procedure,bleeding,blood pressure,dischargement of placenta tissue,uterine recuperation,and plasma β-HCG were monitored.Results Bleeding vessels were confirmed in all of the 5 cases of placenta increta.Uterine artery embolization was successful at sole procedure.The operation time was 25.0 to 60.0 min.with the mean time (37.4±5.8)min.Vaginal bleeding stoped in 3.0 to 12.0 minutes after embolization and the mean time was(5.7±2.4)min.Blood pressure returned to normal after operation and vital signs were stable.Placenta tissue discharged on the 5th day to the 4th week after embolization and the mean time was 17 d.The uterus recuperated and blood β-HCG recovered simutaneously.The menstruation and ovulation during follow-up returned to normal.Conclusion Superseleetive uterine artery embolization for treatment of placenta increta has advantages such as short operation time,minimal invasion,definite curative effect and reservation of uterus,which is worthy in clinical application.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the anti-inflammatory effect of immune milk. Method:Twenty four strains of pathogenic bacteria (including 12 strains of pathogenic E.coli, 8 strains of Salmonella, 3 strains of Shigella and 1 strain of Yersinia enterocolitica) originated from human intestinal tract were selected as antigens, and dairy cows were immunized. Results:Vaccination could not increase the concentration of IgG in the immune milk, but significantly highten the specificity of milk antibodies. The antibody titers against 24 pathogenic bacteria in immune milk was 128, 64 folds of control regular milk. Conclusion:Feeding of immune milk could inhibit edema of rat footpad induced by carrageenin and formaldehyde and the formation of acestoma of mice caused by cotton embedded hypophloedally. Meanwhile, the PGE2 level in inflammatory footpad of rat fed with immune milk was remarkably lower than that of rat fed with regular milk. These results indicate that immune milk has anti-inflammatory property.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effectiveness of microendoscopic discectomy (MED) in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation. Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical data of 59 cases of lumbar disc herniation treated by MED was made. The experience as well as lessons was summed up. Results All the 59 cases were followed for 4~24 months (mean, 15 months). Clinical outcomes were determined according to the Macnab criteria, which revealed that 43 cases had excellent, 14 cases had good, 1 had fair, and 1 had poor outcomes (with postoperative paralysis), the “excellent or good” rate being 96.6%(57/59). Conclusions MED is the first choice for contained herniated lumbar discs. A successful MED depends upon proper selection of patients and skillful surgical techniques.
