目的 探讨结核性腹膜炎（TBP）及癌性腹膜炎（CP）的螺旋CT表现，提高其诊断及鉴别诊断水平。 方法 回顾分析2009年9月－2010年9月经手术病理、穿刺活检或综合手段证实的22例TBP和45例CP患者的CT影像资料，采用χ2检验比较各种CT征象在两种病变中的发生率，结合病理、临床结果进行分析。 结果 TBP组及CP组患者大量腹水所占比例差异有统计学意义（36.4%、75.6%，χ2=9.703，P=0.002）；两组壁腹膜、肠系膜增厚构成比差异有统计学意义，TBP组以壁层腹膜均匀增厚、肠系膜污迹样改变为主，CP组壁层腹膜以结节、块样增厚为主；两组大网膜厚度差异有统计学意义。 结论 以壁层腹膜改变为基础，综合大网膜、肠系膜及腹水改变CT征象对两种病变的诊断及鉴别诊断具有重要意义。
ObjectiveTo investigate the overall accuracy of interleukin-12 (IL-12) for diagnosis of tuberculous pleurisy. MethodsWe searched in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases, WanFang Data, and VIP Information for qualified studies that reported diagnostic accuracy of IL-12 for tuberculous pleurisy up to February 2014. The methodological quality of each study was evaluated by Quality assessment of diagnostic accuracy studies. Statistical analyses were performed by Meta-Disc 1.4 software and the pooled sensitivity, specificity and other diagnostic indexes. Meta-analysis of the reported accuracy of each study and summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve were also performed. ResultsEight studies met the inclusion criteria for the analysis. The summary estimates for IL-12 in the diagnosis of tuberculous pleurisy were:sensitivity 0.80 [95% CI (0.76, 0.84)], specificity 0.76 [95% CI (0.71, 0.81)], positive likelihood ratio 3.23 [95% CI (2.26, 4.60)], negative likelihood ratio 0.30 [95% CI (0.20, 0.45)], diagnostic odds ratio 13.57 [95% CI (6.66, 27.64)], and the area under the curve of SROC was 0.86. ConclusionIL-12 plays a valuable role in the diagnosis of tuberculous pleurisy, and IL-12 may be a useful diagnostic marker for tuberculous pleurisy.
ObjectiveTo analyze the curative effect and prognosis of drug resistant tuberculosis meningitis (TBM). MethodsRetrospective analysis was carried out on the clinical data of thirty-two cases of drug resistant tuberculous meningitis patients hospitalized from January 2010 to December 2015. And the prognosis of the patients was evaluated by meliorated Rankin Scale (mRS). ResultsThirty-one cases (96.9%) were improved in 32 patients with drug resistant TBM, and 1 case (3.1%) was ineffective. After treatment, one patient had hormone-related glaucoma and osteoporosis, and one patient had drug Cushing syndrome. Twenty-seven patients (84.4%) had an mRS score equal to or less than 2 points. ConclusionDrug resistant TBM is difficult to diagnose in the early stage, and the curative effect is satisfying with active anti-tuberculosis treatment.
ObjectiveTo compare the clinical efficacy of video-assisted thoracoscopy and thoracotomy for the treatment of encapsulated tuberculous pleurisy. MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 99 patients who had underwent surgery for encapsulated tuberculous pleurisy within 3 months of disease onset in our hospital from January through December 2013. Based on the surgical mode, patients were assigned to a video-assisted thoracoscopy group, including 49 patients (35 males and 14 females, a mean age of 26.78±9.36 years), to receive video-assisted thoracoscopic pleurectomy; or a thoracotomy group, including 50 patients (31 males and 19 females, a mean age of 31.84±11.08 years), to receive conventional thoracotomic pleurectomy. The first 43 patients in the video-assisted thoracoscopy group received thoracic catheter drainage, with the drainage volume of 659.08±969.29 ml; the first 48 patients in the thoracotomy group received thoracic catheter drainage, with the drainage volume of 919.03±129.97 ml. The clinical effects were compared between the two groups. ResultsAll the patients in the video-assisted thoracoscopy group completed thoracoscopy without conversion to thoracotomy. The surgery duration and postoperative intubation time were shorter in the video-assisted thoracoscopy group than those in the thoracotomy group (surgery duration:103.00±53.04 min vs. 127.06±51.60 min, P<0.01; postoperative intubation time 3.02±0.83 d vs. 3.94±1.25 d, P<0.01). At the end of 6 months of follow-up, the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1>) was 2.83±0.64 L in the thoracos-copy group and 2.25±0.64 L in the thoracotomy group (P<0.01); forced vital capacity (FVC) was 3.02±0.72 L in the thora-coscopy group and 2.57±0.79 L in the thoracotomy group (P<0.05); and maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV) was 93.90± 15.86 L in the thoracoscopy group and 80.34±17.06 L in the thoracotomy group (P<0.01). ConclusionThoracoscopic surgery is feasible for patients with encapsulated pleurisy within 3 months of onset. Furthermore video-assisted thoraco-scopy will be superior to thoracotomy.
Objective To investigate the postoperative treatment of pleuropneumonectomy for tuberculosis destroyed lung in ICU, in order to improve the therapeutical efficacy for these patients. Methods Clinical data of 52 patients who suffered from tuberculosis destroyed lung and underwent pleuropneumonectomy from June 2008 to June 2010 were analyzed retrospectively. All of subjects received routine treatment in ICU after the operation. Meanwhile，appropriate targeting treatments were applied including diagnosis and treatment of postoperative bleeding; application of fiberbronchoscope to aspirate the sputum after the operation,sequential non-invasive ventilation after the invasive ventilation for acute respiratory failure after operation ,etc.Results A total of 52 patients received the pleuropneumonectomy operation. Bleeding occurred in 11 cases after operation and stopped after the integrated therapy. 8 patients suffered from acute respiratory failure and attenuated after sequential ventilation. No patients died for postoperative bleeding or acute respiratory failure. Conclusions Patients who suffered from tuberculosis destroyed lung and received pleuropneumonectomy with postoperative bleeding and acute respiratory failure have a good prognosis after appropriate postoperative treatment in ICU.

Methods The complete CT image data of 22 patients with tuberculotic peritonitis confirmed by surgical, pathologically, or therapeutic procedures from October 2009 to July 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. The changes of lymph nodes, ascites, thickened peritoneum, mesentery and greater omentum were observed. Results In 22 patients, enlargement and rim enhancement of lymph nodes were found in 12; ascites with CT value of 20-28 HU was in 15, of whom 12 had small or middle amount of effusion which located in mesentery or abdominal cavity; thickened parietal peritoneum was in 16, including smooth peritoneum in 14 and evident enhancement in 10; thickened greater omeutum was in 15, including cake-like thickening in 2, filth-like thickening in 9 and tuber-like thickening in 4; thickened mesentery was in 18, including intestinal loop adhesion in 3.A total of 13 patients were combined with other tuberculosis. Conclusion CT scan is very important in diagnosing and differentially diagnosing tuberculous perinitis.
Objective To formulate an evidence-based treatment for a patient with pulmonary tuberculosis combined with tuberculous meningitis and tuberculous pericarditis. Methods According to the principles of evidencebased clinical practice, we searched The Cochrane Library (Issue 2, 2008), Ovid-Reviews (1991 to 2008), MEDLINE (1950 to 2008), and http://www.guideline.org. to identify the best evidence for treating a patient with pulmonary tuberculosis combined with tuberculous meningitis and tuberculous pericarditis. Results Nine guidelines, 2 systematic reviews, and 11 randomized controlled trials were included. The evidence showed that corticosteroids could help reduce the risk of death and disabling residual neurological deficiencies in patients with tuberculous meningitis. After adjusting for age and gender, the overall death rate of patients with tuberculous pericarditis was significantly reduced by prednisolone (P=0.044), as well as the risk of death from pericarditis (P=0.004). But for patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, there was still a controversy about the use of corticosteroids. Given the evidence, the patient’s clinical conditions, and his preferences, dexamethasone was used for the boy in question. After 7 weeks of treatment, his cerebrospinal fluid returned to normal and pericardial effusion disappeared. Conclusion Corticosteroids should be recommended in HIV-negative people with tuberculous meningitis or/and tuberculous pericarditis. The difference in the effectiveness of various corticosteroids such as dexamethasone, prednisolone, or methylprednisolone and the optimal duration of corticosteroid therapy is still unknown.
