ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical characteristics of non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) pulmonary disease and pulmonary tuberculosis, as well as the bacterial distribution of NTM pulmonary disease. Methods The bacterial distribution and clinical characteristics of 104 patients with NTM lung disease hospitalized in Jiangxi Provincial People’s Hospital from May 2017 to May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, as well as the clinicplal characteristics of 155 patients with tuberculosis hospitalized during the same period. Results The age of NTM lung disease group [(60±15) years] was higher than that of tuberculosis group [(55±19) years]. There were statistically significant differences in basic diseases (such as malignant tumor, type 2 diabetes, old tuberculosis, bronchiectasis), laboratory examination (such as blood routine examination, albumin) and chest imaging characteristics between the two groups (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in clinical symptoms (such as cough, sputum or fever) (P>0.05). The common underlying diseases of NTM lung disease were malignant tumor (29%), bronchiectasis (21%), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (19%), etc. The common clinical symptoms of NTM lung disease included cough, sputum, fever, hemoptysis, chest tightness and shortness of breath, and other non-specific respiratory symptoms. The common manifestations of NTM lung disease on chest high-resolution CT (HRCT) included patchy images (82%), mediastinal lymph node enalargement (35%), pleural thickening (31%), pleural effusion (26%) and other signs. The isolates of NTM included Mycobacterium avium (50%), Mycobacterium intracellulare (21%), Mycobacterium chelonae/abscessus (14%), Mycobacterium fortuitum (5%), Mycobacterium gordonae (4%), Mycobacterium gilvum (3%), and Mycobacterium smegmatis (3%). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age (OR=1.027) was a risk factor for NTM lung disease. Conclusions The clinical manifestations of NTM lung disease and tuberculosis are similar and difficult to distinguish. For male patients over 60 years old with malignant tumor, old tuberculosis, bronchiectasis and other basic diseases, and the chest HRCT findings are mainly bronchiectasis, NTM lung disease should be actively excluded. There is little difference in clinical manifestations between different strains of NTM lung disease, and the treatment cycle of NTM lung disease is long and easy to be interrupted, requiring enhanced follow-up.

Methods The clinical data of 58 cases of AIDS with pulmonary diseases admitted in our hospital from 2006 to 2009 were analysed retrospectively. Results Among the patients, there were 47 males and 11 females, and the proportion of the number of males to females was 4.27∶1. Their age ranged from 6 to 78 years old, averaging at 43. Thirty-six patients (62.07%) were under 50 years old; and there were 22 patients (37.93%) aged 50 or above. The pulmonary expression was common in AIDS patients admitted into comprehensive hospitals, occupying the first place in various clinical manifestatiosn (55.24%). Pulmonary expressions of AIDS were mainly diffuse pulmonary diseases and pulmonary tuberculosis, which had 21 (36.21%) and 23 (39.66%) cases respectively. Chief treating departments were Department of Respiratory Medicine (65.52%) and Department of Infective Diseases (20.69%). Its common symptoms included fever, cough, shortness of breath after activities or dyspnea; Its pulmonary image had various manifestations including ground-glass opacity (GGO), diffuse nodal shadow, spot and thin piece shadow, pulmonary chunk shadow or cavity, fibre twigs shadow or/and hydrothorax; Its common combined symptoms included oral cavity ulcer fungus infection, diarrhoea or other digestive tract symptoms, and erythra, anemia, and nervus system symptoms, etc. There were still some other cases of combined viral hepatitis type B, type C, or syphilis. Conclusion Pulmonary diseases of AIDS are the main expressions of patients with AIDS in comprehensive hospitals. It will be beneficial to clinical prophylaxis and treatment of AIDS to heighten the knowledge of respiratory physicians on pulmonary expressions of patients with AIDS.
Objective To systematically review the safety of rifapentine vs. rifampicin for pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CBM, VIP, WanFang Data and CNKI databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of rifapentine vs. rifampicin for pulmonary tuberculosis up to September 2017. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies, then, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. Results A total of 26 RCTs involving 3 624 cases were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the rifapentine group was superior to the rifampicin group on the incidence of abnormal liver function (RR=0.31, 95%CI 0.32 to 0.47, P<0.000 01), skin rash occurrence rate (RR=0.24, 95%CI 0.16 to 0.37,P<0.000 01), the incidence of leukopenia (RR=0.41, 95%CI 0.31 to 0.54,P<0.000 01), and the incidence of gastrointestinal reaction (RR=0.46, 95%CI 0.37 to 0.57,P<0.000 01) with statistical significance. Conclusions Current evidence shows that compared with rifampicin, rifapentine can effectively reduce the adverse reactions of patients. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.

ObjectiveTo compare the clinical data of pulmonary lobectomy in patients with massive hemoptysis of pulmonary tuberculosis after bronchial artery embolization in the short and long term, so as to provide a reference for clinical choices of appropriate operation time.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 33 patients with massive hemoptysis of pulmonary tuberculosis, who had received pulmonary lobectomy after bronchial artery embolization in Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital from January 2015 to November 2017, including 29 males and 4 females aged of 23-66 (52.64±9.70) years. According to the time interval between bronchial artery embolization and lobectomy, the patients were divided into a short-term group (<2 weeks, 14 patients) and a long-term group (>1 month, 19 patients). The clinical data, such as operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative extubation time and serious postoperative complications, were observed in the two groups for statistical analysis.ResultsThe operative time (297.13±75.69 min vs. 231.32±67.57 min, P=0.013), intraoperative blood loss (685.74±325.51 mL vs. 355.83±259.11 mL, P=0.002), postoperative extubation time (14.07±5.24 d vs. 8.90±3.57 d, P=0.003) of the short-term group were all higher than those in the long-term group.ConclusionFor the patients with massive hemoptysis of pulmonary tuberculosis, who had surgical indications and no risk of early rebleeding after bronchial artery embolization, pulmonary lobectomy should be performed late until the patient's physical condition and the primary disease was stable.
