Organizing Pneumonia in A Patient Double-Positive for ANCA and Anti-GBM Antibodies: A Case Report / 中国医学科学杂志(英文版)

Both anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease and the anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) are common causes of pulmonary-renal syndrome. Organizing pneumonia (OP), a special pattern of interstitial lung disease, is extremely rare either in AAV or anti-GBM disease. We report an old woman presented with OP on a background of co-presentation with both ANCA and anti-GBM antibodies.

An Analysis of Self-reported Income Status and Related Determinants among Primary Care Providers in a County in Dali / 昆明医科大学学报

Objective To assess the income status of primary care providers and to explore the determinants of income in a county of Dali. Methods In August 2016, the questionnaire was employed to collect the data of income status of 191 rural health workers and 217 village doctors in the county. Results Through the study, we found that the income of rural health workers in the county was 34, 000 (26, 000, 46,000) yuan with a satisfaction rate of 62.3% (95% CI 55.4%～69.2%) and no change (74.7%) was seen in the income among majorities after implementing the Zero Mark-up Policy for essential medicines. For the village doctors, the income was 20,000 (15,000, 24,000) yuan with a satisfaction rate of 40.6% (95% CI 34.0%～47.1%) and a fall of the income was found in more than half of the doctors after the implement of the policy. Conclusion Health care workers in towns are quite satisfied with their income whereas those in health stations of villages are not content, compared with the average income at the national level. We should increase government's investments on grass-root healthcare team, improve the incentive pay plans and promote the integrated management of health facilities in towns and villages.

acetylcholinesterase [AChE] inhibition analysis of medaka [Oryzias latipes] in the exposure of three insecticides

The continuous effects on Acetylcholinesterase [AChE] activity of medaka [Oryzias latipes] caused by dichlorvos, methomyl and deltamethrin in vivo were investigated, and the trends of AChE activity inhibition due to the influence of these insecticides were discussed. The LC[50]-24 h of dichlorvos, methomyl and deltamethrin on medaka were 2.3 mg/L, 0.2 mg/L, and 2.9×10[-3] mg/L respectively. The result suggested that at the beginning of the exposure, the AChE activity might increase, and the AChE activity in dead individuals was obviously lower than the live individuals. Though the de novo synthesis of AChE in medaka might help the AChE activity recover, the trends during the exposure in different treatments were downward, and it showed both exposure time and concentration dependent. Meanwhile, higher temperature might cause the AChE inhibition earlier due to the higher metabolic rate. Therefore, as a specific biomarker for organophosphate, carbamate pesticides and pyrethroids, the degree of the AChE inhibition with in vivo conditions is a good tool in continuous monitoring of insecticides, which may induce the nerve conduction disorders

role of Ki-67 in women with a resistant prolactinoma: a retrospective analysis in 199 hospitalized patients over a period of 5 years

Proliferation-associated antigen Ki-67 is used for the histological evaluation of different tumors. Few studies have been conducted on women with a resistant prolactinoma

To better define the characteristics and to evaluate the differences between patients with different Ki-67 labeling index [LI], a retrospective study was designed to recruit 199 females with a resistant prolactinoma. The patients were divided into two groups, patients with Ki-67 LI>3% and patients with Ki-67 LI<3%. Tumors in the LI>3% group were also larger [p=0.043], had a higher rate of invasion (p=0.014), and were associated with more frequent polyuria and polydipsia [p=0.008] compared to the LI<3% group. The pre- and post-operative PRL levels in the LI>3% group remained significantly higher compared to patients with LI<3% [p<0.05]

The incidences of transient diabetes insipidus and hyponatremia in the LI>3% group were also significantly higher [p=0.037, p=0.041]

Additionally, the postoperative PRL normalization rate was lower in patients with LI>3?/o compared with patients with LI<3% [p=0.028]

The recurrence rate in the LI>3% and LI<3% groups were 27.27% and 8.47%, respectively. In conclusion, high Ki-67 LI is predictive sign of a poor prognosis in women with resistant prolactinoma

Characteristics of mixed prolactin and adrenocorticotropin secreting pituitary adenomas and the differences in patients with merely prolactin-secreting adenomas

To evaluate the characteristics of pituitary adenomas that produce both prolactin and adrenocorticotropin. Between 2002 and 2011, we reviewed the data of 336 patients undergoing transsphenoidal surgery at Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University, Jinan, China. Patients were divided into 2 subgroups: patients with mixed prolactin and adrenocorticotropin secreting adenomas, and patients with merely prolactin-secreting adenomas. Clinical and endocrinological data, imaging, histopathological reports, and outcomes were reviewed. Differences between the 2 groups were statistically analyzed, and p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Compared to patients with merely prolactin-secreting adenomas, patients with mixed prolactin and adrenocorticotropin secreting adenomas were younger [p<0.001], had higher incidences of headaches and dizziness [p=0.021], progressive obesity [p<0.001], menstrual disorders [p=0.006], polyuria and polydipsia [p<0.001], hypertension [p=0.001], diabetes mellitus [p=0.001], and had higher rates of postoperative hyponatremia [p<0.001]. Recurrence rates in patients with prolactin-secreting adenomas were 19.1% and patients with mixed prolactin and adrenocorticotropin secreting adenomas were 35.1% [p=0.023]. However, the endocrine normalization rate in mixed prolactin and adrenocorticotropin secreting adenomas was lower [p=0.004]. Careful long-term follow-up is needed for patients with mixed prolactin and adrenocorticotropin secreting adenomas
