RESUMO
Glucagonoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor of α cells of the pancreas. The tumor excessively secretes glucagon and causes glucagonoma syndrome.70%-90% of patients with glucagonoma will develop necrolytic migratory erythema (NME). We reported a patient of glucagonoma syndrome who was presented to the dermatology outpatient clinic with a 2-year-history of recurrent erythema and scaling on the skin migrating throughout the body. A skin biopsy was performed and resulting features matched with NME, whilst imaging examinations suggested a soft tissue density tumor present in the tail of the pancreas with somatostatin receptor expression and laboratory tests found an elevated levels of serum glucagon. After the diagnosis was confirmed, the patient was treated with surgical resection of the glucagonoma and the skin eruptions resolved rapidly in 4 days. Meanwhile, we reviewed relevant literature published in recent years and summarized its clinical characteristics in order to improve its understanding by clinicians, including clinical manifestations, laboratory and imaging examinations, diagnosis and treatments.
RESUMO
Objective To analyze the clinical features and evaluate outcomes of active pulmonary tuberculosis(TB)patients in floating population.Methods Retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 68 active pulmonary TB patients in floating population,in comparison with 123 cases of TB patients of local which was treated as control group.Evaluated the outcomes by analyzing the composition of sex and age,tuberculosis type,positive phlegm germ.males and 33 females;so the male to female ratio was 2.73:1,the difference between two groups was statistically significant(x2=3.37,P＜0.05).The age in study group ranged from 18 to 62,the average was(30.23±18.52),and it ranged from 18 to 70 in control group,the average was(46.46±31.50),the difference between two groups was statistically significant(t=25.14,P＜0.05).Among those aged 21 to 30,the incidence in study group was 44.11%(30/68),and in control group it was 24.39%(30/123),the difference between two groups had statistical significance(x2=9.91,P＜0.05).In study group,there were 68 sputum smears,47 of them were positive,and the proportion was 69.11%;In control group,there were 123 sputum smears,70 of them were positive,and the proportion was 56.91%.The difference between two groups had statisticall significance.In study group.there were 22 patients who stopped by themselves accepting treatment,accounting for 34.92%;At same time,in control group,there were 23 patients who stopped by themselves accepting treatment,accounting for 18.67%.The difference of treatment compliance between two groups had statistical significance(x2=6.890,P＜0.05).After 6 months treatment,41 cases were treated in study group,of them 37 cases sputum bacterium turns negative,accounting for 90.24%;the same time 100 cases were treated in control group,of them 92 cases sputum bacterium turns negative,accounting for 92.00%.The difference of sputum bacterium conversion rate in two groups had no statistical significance(x2=0.1 10,P＞0.05).Conclusion The incidence rate of tuberculosis was high in floating population of Pinghu City.The TB patients in floating population could receive the same treatment as those in local population through DOTS treatment.
