Clinical and pathological features of three types of peritoneal tuberculosis: a single centre in China

چکیده
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a crucial communicable disease worldwide. Peritoneum tuberculosis (TBP) is a common type of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. Aim: To investigate clinicopathological features of three different types of TBP. Methods: This retrospective, observational study was conducted from 2009 to 2014 in the hospitalized patients with TBP. Based on the clinical data and surgical records, patients were divided into: wetascitic, fibrotic-fixed, and dry-plastic types. Categorical data were analysed using the Chi-square test or a two-tailed Fisher's exact test. Results: Of the 91 patients (50 male, 41 femalemale to female ratio=1.22) enrolled, 48 (52.7%) were wetascitic, 33 (36.3%) were fibrotic-fixed and 10 (11.0%) were dry-plastic types. The frequency of haematogenous dissemination of pulmonary TB was significantly higher in the dry-plastic type than in fibrotic-fixed type (P=0.0498). The frequency of abdominal pain was significantly lower in the wet-ascitic than in the other two types (P=0.000 and P=0.017). Patients (30 (90.9%)) of fibrotic-fixed type had ileus. The Langhans giant cells were observed more in the wet-ascitic type than in fibrotic-fixed type (P=0.006). All slices in the dry-plastic type were observed with granulomatous inflammation (P=0.040). The hospital stay prolonged in the fibrotic-fixed type and the dry-plastic type than the wet-ascitic type (P=0.006 and P=0.003). Conclusion: The fibrotic-fixed and dry-plastic types TBPs presented more rate of abdominal pain. Most of the fibrotic-fixed type patients have ileus. The Langhans giant cells were observed more in the wetascitic type. All specimens of the dry-plastic type were observed with granulomatous inflammation. All dry-plastic type could be diagnosed through histopathology, but fibrotic-fixed type could not.

A multiple-antigen detection assay for tuberculosis diagnosis based on broadly reactive polyclonal antibodies
Objective(s): Detection of circulating Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) antigens is promising in Tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis. However, not a single antigen marker has been found to be widely expressed in all TB patients. This study is aimed to prepare broadly reactive polyclonal antibodies targeting multiple antigen markers (multi-target antibodies) and evaluate their efficacies in ...

Objective(s):The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between insulin resistance (IR) and leptin (LEP) gene polymorphisms in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Materials and Methods: From July 1, 2011 to August 1, 2011, patients who received chronic PD were chosen and divided into three groups (DM, high HOMR-IR, and low HOMR-IR). Two PCR products of LEP were sequenced and aligne...
