复治难治肺结核中结核菌-L型感染调查

目的 了解结核菌-L型在复治难治(复难治)肺结核患者中所占的比例,以及对结核病疫情的影响.方法 选择复难治肺结核患者现场拍摄X光胸片,晨痰作结核菌和结核菌-L型培养.结果 在260例复难治肺结核患者痰标本中,检出结核菌阳性92例;92例结核菌阳性患者中,检出结核菌-L型阳性32例,检出率为34.8%.168例结核菌阴性患者中检出结核菌-L型阳性45例,检出率为26.8%.结核菌和结核菌-L型均阳性的患者,其X光胸片病变范围比结核菌和结核菌-L型均阴性的患者广泛(x2=6.44,P＜0.05);其肺部空洞也明显增多(x=31.63,P＜0.01).结论 无论是菌阳还是菌阴结核病患者,都可检出结核菌-L型;结核菌和结核菌-L型合并感染,可导致患者双侧肺病变加重、空洞增多.     

1950-2007年阆中市麻风流行病学分析

目的分析阆中市1950—2007年麻风流行特征，为制定预防与控制措施提供科学依据。方法分析全市历年麻风防治资料及专题调查报告资料。结果阆中市麻风病患病率由1983年的0．88／10万降至2007年的0．06／10万，近5年平均发病率、平均患病率、平均发现率分别为0．047／10万、0．094／万和0．094／10万，已达到基本消灭麻风标准。畸残率随发现延迟而升高，线索调查是发现麻风患者最有效的途径。结论阆中市麻风流行已得到控制，麻风病防制措施应作针对性调整。

Is it worth the wait? A survey of patients' satisfaction with an oncology outpatient clinic

Increasing numbers of cancer survivors and the tradition of long-term follow-up in the outpatient clinic has resulted in overcrowded oncology clinics and long waiting times. Little is known about patients' perceptions of their clinic attendance. This survey of 252 oncology patients investigated patients' satisfaction with the clinic, anxiety associated with clinic attendance and the strengths and weaknesses of the oncology service. Results demonstrated high levels of satisfaction. Far from being perceived as anxiety-provoking, the clinic was looked upon as a valuable source of reassurance, 92% of patients reporting they were 'always' or 'usually' reassured as a consequence of their visit. Qualitative data showed that clinic staff were the most important source of satisfaction. Waiting was overwhelmingly the worst aspect of the clinic, described by 27% of patients as 'excessively long'. One-fifth of the total sample had attended the clinic for 10 years or more and over a third of this group reported they would be worried at the prospect of being discharged to the care of their geneal practitioners. Despite disadvantages associated with long waits, the clinic was perceived as providing a valuable source of reassurance which a proportion of patients were clearly reluctant to be without.
