ObjectiveTo study the epidemiologic characteristics of primary liver cancer (PLC). MethodsThe literatures about regional distribution and etiologic epidemiology of PLC were reviewed. Results PLC was mainly distributed on caostland in the south-east of China. The main cause of PLC was hepatitis B virus, aflatoxin and contamination of drinking water. Otherwise, PLS was also related with lack of some trace element, sex horemones, genealogy cause and so on.Conclusion The genesis of PLC was by multiple factors.
Objective To investigate the incidence of retinopathy of prematuri ty (ROP) in the area of Shanghai, and to provide the preliminary data for the ev aluation of present criteria for ROP screening. Methods Record s of 289 prematur e infants who had undergone ROP screening from the four NICU in Shanghai between February 2004 and January 2005 were analyzed. Screening criteria included prete rm infants or low birth weight (LBW) infants with BW of 2000g or less. The first examination starts at 4 to 6 weeks chronologic age or 32 weeks post conceptual age. Results In the 289 screened infants, 19 had developed acu te ROP. There we re 3 threshold ROP, 7 prethreshold ROP and 9 developed ROP less than prethreshol d. The incidence of ROP was 6.6%. According to the British recommended guideline s（BWle;1500 g or GAle;31 weeks）, only 119 out of 289 needed screening and one ca se of stage 1 ROP was missed; the incidence of ROP was 15.1% (18/119). When lowered sc reening criteria to the American guidelines（BWle;1500g or GAle;28 weeks）, t here were only 83 infants needed screening, and we missed 2 stage 1 and 1 prethreshold ROP and the incidence of ROP was 19.3% (16/83). Conclusions The i ncidence of ROP i s 6.6% according to our study. It is lower than other reports and it has somethi ng to do with our present screening guideline. Further epidemiological data are needed to modify the guideline accordingly.
Purpose Researching the relared risk factors of diabetic retinopathy (DR) through the epidemiological investigation. Methods Basing on a population random sampling survey and screening in 6 areas and cities of Anhui,216 diabetics were screened and they were then investigated in detail by filling in forms,measuring blood pressure,ocular examination including ophthalmoscopy,and lab examination including fasting blood glucose (FBG),blood glucose 2 hours after meal,urine albumin excretion (UAE),serum triglyceride,and cholesterol. Results The resultant date revealed that the duration of diabetes,blood pressure FBG and UAE were associated significantly with DR (Plt;0.05),and serum triglyceride and cholesterol were associated not significantly with DR(Pgt;0.05). Conclusion Long duration of diabetes,hight FBG and hight blood pressure are the important risk factors of DR,and urine albumin might forebode the occurrence of DR. (中华眼底病杂志,1998,14:119-121)
摘要:目的:研究分析德阳地区消化性溃疡的流行病学特点,为其防治提供依据。方法:对我院2002年1月至2007年12月中经胃镜检查诊断为消化性溃疡的病例的年龄、性别、发病季节、溃疡部位、幽门螺杆菌感染和并发症进行回顾性统计分析。结果:共检出5820例消化性溃疡,其中十二指肠溃疡(DU)3696例,胃溃疡(GU)1558例,复合性溃疡(CU)566例。溃疡患者男女比例为256:1。胃溃疡患者平均年龄为4782岁,比十二指肠溃疡患者大58岁。检出率以冬季最高(3225%),夏季最低(2163%),具有统计学意义(Plt;001)。幽门螺杆菌感染阳性率为9082%。结论:消化性溃疡的发生与季节、年龄、性别和部位相互有关,合并幽门螺杆菌感染者占绝大多数,并发症发生率低。
Mitral stenosis includes mitral stenosis due to rheumatic fever and non-rheumatic valve stenosis characterized by degenerative changes. Rheumatic mitral stenosis is common in developing countries and occurs in young adults, while degenerative mitral stenosis is common in developed countries and increases in incidence with aging. Mitral stenosis of different etiologies can lead to changes in heart structure and function, which affects the quality of life and prognosis of patients, so lifelong management of mitral stenosis is crucial. This article provides a comprehensive reference for clinicians in the management of mitral stenosis, with a detailed overview of the emerging prevalence features, imaging diagnosis, and treatment methods.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the reasonableness of anticoagulation management strategy in patients after mechanical heart valve replacement. MethodsAll patients were followed and registered continually at outpatient clinic from July 2011 to February 2013, with a minimum of 6 months after surgery. Targeted international normalized rate (INR) 1.60 to 2.20 and warfarin weekly dosage adjustment were used as the strategy of anticoagulation management. Except bleeding, thrombogenesis and thromboembolism, time in therapeutic range (TTR) and fraction of TTR (FTTR) were adopted to evaluate the quality of anticoagulation management. ResultsA total 1 442 patients and 6 461 INR values were included for data analysis. The patients had a mean age of 48.2±10.6 years (14-80 years) and the following up time were 6 to 180 months (39.2±37.4 months) after surgery. Of these patients, 1 043 (72.3%) was female and 399 (27.7%) was male. INR values varied from 0.90-8.39 (1.85±0.49) and required weekly doses of warfarin were 2.50-61.25 (20.89±6.93 mg). TTR of target INR and acceptable INR were 51.1% (156 640.5 days/306 415.0 days), 64.9% (198 856.0 days/306 415.0 days), respectively. FTTR of target INR and acceptable INR were 49.4% (3 193 times/6 461 times), 62.6% (4 047 times/6 461 times). There were 8 major bleeding events, 7 mild bleeding events, 2 thromboembolism events, and 2 thrombogenesis in the left atrium. ConclusionIt is reasonable to use target INR 1.60-2.20 and warfarin weekly dosage adjustment for patients after mechanical heart valve replacement.
ObjectivesTo analyze epidemiological characteristics of leprosy in Sichuan province from 2000 to 2017.MethodsCase data of all new leprosy patients in Sichuan province from 2000 to 2017 were collected. A retrospective analysis of its epidemiological characteristics was performed by using SPSS 19.0 software.ResultsA total of 3 208 cases of leprosy were detected during 2000 to 2017, of whom 2 197 (71.28%) were male, 885 (28.72%) were female. The younger cases whose ages were less than 14 were 82 (2.66%), and the cases with grade 2 disabilities were 614 (19.92%). The mean age of male was older than female (41.64±14.26 vs. 38.89±15.12 years, P<0.05). The grade 2 disability rate of male was significantly higher than that of female (20.94% vs. 17.40%, P<0.05). Self-report was the most common method of discovery. But the ratio of male who were detected through contact examination was significantly lower than that detected through dermatological clinic, self-report, clues check and report (the ratio of male to female was 1.57, 2.38, 2.88, 2.48, 2.37, respectively, P<0.05).ConclusionsThe case detection of leprosy declines annually in Sichuan province from 2000 to 2017, especially in high-endemic area and male patients. Female patients are younger than male patients when they are detected. The grade 2 disability situation of male patients is significantly more serious than that of female patients. Self-report is the most common way of discovery, while women are more passive.
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinicopathologic and epidemiological characteristics of patients with gastric cancer at our hospital in the past six years． Methods A total of 958 patients with gastric cancer were selected from January 2004 to December 2009 and clinicopathologic characteristics such as basic data, pathological type, tumor location, and TNM stage were retrospectively analyzed. ResultsOf the 958 patients，697 cases (72.8%) were male and 261 cases (27.2%) were female, and the age ranged from 26 to 91 years old (mean 62.6 years old). The occurrence rate of gastric cancer was higher in the patients of 46-65 years old (49.4%, 473/958) than that in the patients of ≥66 years old (42.3%, 405/958) and ≤45 years old (8.3%, 80/958). Regarding pathologic type, the majority of advanced gastric cancers (70.1%) were Borrmann Ⅱ, the adenocarcinoma and signetring cell carcinoma accounted for 82.3% and 7.8%, respectively. The cancer of gastric cardia accounted for 53.0%. Stagestratified analysis revealed that the majority of gastric cancers (47.4%) were stage Ⅲ. Conclusion①A prevalence of gastric cancer is found in middle, elderly male patients. Poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma in cardia is prominent. ②Patients with high malignant ganstrie cancer are younger. ③The majority of patients who underwent the surgical treatments have advanced or metastatic tumor, therefore it is necessary to improve the early diagnosis of gastric cancer.
