International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2015;(5):405-408
Objective To evaluate the effects of treating severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) with XueBiJing injection and conventional therapy of western medicine.Methods This study was a randomized controlled study. 104 patients meet the inclusion criteria of SAP were randomly divided into a routine treatment group (52 cases) and aXuebijing treatment group (52 cases). Patients of both groups received immediate rescue together with performing ECG monitoring, fasting food, inhaling oxygen. On such basis, the conventional treatment group was treated with inhibiting enzyme activity and resisting infection; WhileXuebijing treatment group was treated withXuebijing injection on the basis of the conventional treatment group. After 7 days treatment, the therapeutic effect, WBC, CRP, blood and urinary amylase, TNF-α, LPS, and IL-6 were observed in both groups.Results The total effective rates in the treatment group and the control group were 92.31%(48/52)and 73.08%(38/52), respectively, with statistical difference(χ2=5.442,P=0.020). After the treatment, WBC (9.2 ×109/L ± 2.1 ×109/Lvs.12.2 ×109/L ± 3.1 ×109/L;t=5.778,P=0.000), amylase blood serum (305.4 ± 100.9 U/Lvs. 403.5 ± 197.8 U/L;t=3.186,P=0.002) and urine (702.3 ± 98.5 U/Lvs.1 102.4 ± 202.6 U/L;t=12.807,P=0.000), TNF-α (21.2 ± 9.1 ng/mlvs.27.5 ± 13.4 ng/ml;t=2.805,P=0.006), CPR (7.6 ±3.8 mg/Lvs.15.2 ± 9.8 mg/L;t=5.214,P=0.000), LPS (146.3 ± 52.1 EU/Lvs.281.2 ± 91.7 EU/L;t=9.224, P=0.000), and IL-6 (143.4 ± 52.4 ng/mlvs. 203.7 ± 79.8 ng/ml;t=4.555,P=0.000) in the treatment group were significantly reduced than those in the control group. The times to remission of abdominal distension (5.3 ± 1.3 d vs.6.1 ± 2.5 d;t=2.047,P=0.043) and abdominal paln (4.9 ± 2.3 dvs.6.0 ± 3.1 d;t=2.055,P=0.042), return to normal body temperature (4.3 ± 1.8 dvs.5.5 ± 2.1 d;t=3.129,P=0.002) in the treatment group were all significantly decreased than those in the control group.ConclusionXueBiJinginjection adjuvant to conventional therapy can effectively improve reduction of amylase in blood serum and urine, and symptoms remission,and also shorten treatment time in patients with SAP.

Chinese Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2013;21(1):13-16
Objective To investigate the effect of early enteral nutrition combined with synbiotics agents on normal intestinal flora,fecal SIgA and infectious complications in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.Methods Fifty-three patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage were randomly divided into early enteral nutrition group (control group,n =26) and early enteral nutrition combined with synbiotics group (study group,n =27).The patients in control group started receiving enteral nutrition (RuiSu) within 24 to 48 hours after injury ; Patients in study group received a enteral nutritional support which as well as control group,but added synbiotics (Golden Bifid) in the first 14 days of enteral nutritional support.Stool specimens were Collected on day 0,day 4,day 8,day 15 of enteral nutrition support for quantitative analysis of normal intestinal flora and detection of stool SIgA through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The difference of two groups in infectious complications were observed.Results On nutritional support day 8 and day 15,escherichia coli (P =0.004,P =0.004) and enterococci (P =0.032,P =0.048) expression were lower in study group than the control group,bifidobacteria (P =0.046,P =0.024) expression were higher in study group than the control group.During the study period lactobacillus,bacteroides and clostridium were no statistically significant between the two groups (P > 0.05).Fecal SIgA expression in study group was higher than control group (P =0.035) on nutritional support dayl5.The incidence of infectious complications in study group was lower than the control group (33.33% vs.46.15%),but there was no significant difference (P =0.230).Conclusion compared with ordinary enteral nutrition,enteral nutrition combined with synbiotics agents can be effective in improving intestinal flora imbalance and increase intestinal immune function in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.

Objective To assess the accuracy of histological type and molecular subtype observed in preoperative 11-gauge vacuum-assisted core needle biopsy(VACNB) specimens in breast cancer.Methods Patients diagnosed by preoperative 1 l-gauge VACNB and received subsequent open excisional biopsy (OEB) from Mar 1 st 2014 to Mar 31 st 2015 were included.Kappa testing was used to test the concordance rate of histological type,estrogen receptor(ER),progesterone receptor(PR),human epidermal growth factor 2(Her-2),Ki-67 and molecular subgroups between VACNB and paired OEB specimens.ER,PgR,Her-2,and Ki-67 were determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC).Patients with Her-2 IHC (+ +) were further examined by FISH.Molecular subtypes were classified as follows:LuminalA,LuminalB,Triple Negative,and Her-2 positive.Results There were 36 patients analyzed(32 of them had invasive breast cancer).Between VACNB and paired OEB specimens,concordance rate of histological type,ER,PR,Her-2,Ki-67 and molecular group were 94.4% (κ =0.934),96.9% (κ =0.904),87.5% (κ =0.710),100% (κ =1.000),84.4% (κ =0.570),78.1% (κ =0.621).No significant difference was detected in the expression of ER,PR and Ki-67 between VACNB and OEB specimens according to paired t-test results.Concordance rate of each molecular subtype between VACNB and OEB specimens were 100% for Her-2 positive subtype,94.1% for LuminalB subtype,50% for LuminalA,and 33.3% for TNBC.When the threshold for ER/PR positivity was upgraded from ≥1% to ≥10% and Ki-67 cutoff value to≥20%,the concordance rate for ER,PR,Ki-67 and molecular subtype reached to 100%,93.8%,87.5%,81.3%.Conclusions 11 G vacuum-assisted core needle biopsy was accurate in determining histological type and molecular subtype in breast cancer.
