Objective To compare the 96-week efficacy of de novo combination therapy with lamivudine ( LAM ) and adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) to that of optimization monotherapy for chronic hepatitis B (CHB).Methods A total of 155 CHB patients were collected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University during 2007 and 2009.All patients were randomly assigned to LAM monotherapy group ( n =53 ),ADV monotherapy group ( n =50 ) or LAM with ADV combination group ( n =52 ) according to randomized digital table.The liver and kidney functions,HBV serum markers,and HBV DNA loads were tested every 24 weeks.If patients in LAM or ADV group had poor response or virological breakthrough,they were given optimized therapy with ADV or LAM at week 24,48 or 72.One-way ANOVA (normal distribution and homoscedasticity ) and non-parametric test (non-normal distribution ) were performed to compare measurement data among groups.The impact factors of early virological response were analyzed by binary Logistic regression method.Results At week 24,the complete virological responses in LAM group,ADV group,and LAM + ADV group were 66.0％ ( 35/53 ),34.0％ ( 17/50 ) and 90.4％ ( 47/52 ),respectively (x2 =35.282,P ＜ 0.01 ) ; while,at week 96 the complete virological responses in three groups were96.2％ (51/53),86.0％ (43/50) and 100.0％ (52/52),respectively (x2 =19.115,P＞0.05).At week 96,the cumulative recover rates of ALT in LAM group,ADV group,and LAM + ADV group were 86.8％ (46/53),82.0％ (41/50)and 94.2％ (49/52),respectively (x2 =3.613,P ＞0.05);however,the ALT levels in three groups were statistically different (x2 =11.195,P ＜ 0.01 ).At week 96,the HBeAg seroconversion rates in LAM group,ADV group,and LAM + ADV group were 31.3％ ( 10/32),20.7％ ( 6/29 ) and 38.7％ ( 12/31 ),respectively (x2 =2.313,P ＞ 0.05 ).Early virological response was not found in I patient in LAM group and 19 patients in ADV group; virological breakthrough occurred in 11 patients in LAM group and 1 patient in ADV group.All patients in LAM + ADV group had early virological responses and had no virological breakthrough.Logistic regression showed that complete virological response at week 24 was correlated with the baseline HBeAg,the initial treatment and HBV DNA load.Layered evaluation showed that there were significant differences in early complete virological responses among three groups for patients with positive HBeAg,HBV DNA ＞ 6.28 × 106 copies/mL and ALT ≤5 ×ULN (x2 =7.726,10.921 and6.100,P＜0.05 or ＜0.01) ; for those with HBV DNA ＞6.28 × 106copies/mL,complete virological response was not observed in ADV group treated for 24 weeks.Conclusion LAM combined with ADV has stronger antiviral activity,lower resistance rate and can improve liver function and virological response,especially for the patients with HBeAg-positive,high HBV DNA loads and ALT ≤5 × ULN.

Objective To investigate the mastery of clinical students' doctor-patient communi-cation skills and to assess the teaching effectiveness about the doctor-patient communication, and then propose some improvement ideas. Methods We conducted a study in students of clinical medicine of Nanjing Medical University in Grade 2009, using Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) after internship, which included graduation assessment of doctor-patient communication skills. Then we analyzed the doctor-patient communication skills and related scores of students trained in different clinical medical programs. Results The average score of doctor-patient communication skills of 549 students was (82.72±4.23), of which, the average score of 329 five-year students of clinical medicine was (81.88±4.23) and the average score of seven-year students was (83.96±3.91) in. The average score of seven-year students of clinical medicine was significantly higher than five-year students (P=0.000). Moreover, there was a significant positive correlation between the total score of OSCE and the score of doctor-patient communication skills in both five-year and seven-year students of clinical medicine (five year program students' score correlation coefficient was 0.520, P=0.000;seven year pro-gram students' score correlation coefficient 0.416, P=0.000). Conclusion The teaching effectiveness of doctor-patient communication has proved to be quite effective, and it is definitely of great significance in improving clinical students' doctor-patient communication skills. The score of the assessment of the doctor-patient communication reflects not only the training effectiveness of the communication skills, but also the comprehensive capacity.

Objective To investigate the relative risk factors of glucose metabolism disorder in newborn infants.Methods Clinical information of 791 newborns suffered from glucose metabolism disorders who had been hospitalized in NICU from Jan.2004 to May 2007 were analyzed retrospectively.Four hundred and thirty-nine cases presented with hypoglycemia,275 cases presented with hyperglycemia,and 77 cases presented with both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.Data of risk factors were processed with both ?2 test and multiple Logistic regression analysis.Results The statistic analysis showed that low birth weight[258 cases(58.77%)],asphyxia[217 cases(49.43%)],acidosis[146 cases(33.26%)],hypothermia[128 cases(29.16%)],maternal gestational hypertension[83 cases(18.91%)],pneumonia[63 cases(14.35%)],anomaly of placenta[35 cases(7.97%)],maternal diabetes[17 cases(3.87%)] and septicaemia[10 cases(2.28%)]were significant hypoglycemia risk factors(according to the level of morbidity).Pneumonia[98 cases(35.64%)],asphyxia[129 cases(27.23%)],hypoxemia[61 cases(22.18%)]and septicaemia[24 cases(8.73%)]were significant hyperglycemia risk factors.Acidosis[33 cases(42.86%)],pneumonia[27 cases(35.06%)]and maternal diabetes[6 cases(7.79%)] were significant risk factors for neonates with both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.Conclusion Dynamic monitoring of blood glucose concentration and reasonable adjustment is recommended for neonates with risk factors to lower morbility and mortality.

Objective: To investigate the inhibitory effect of soluble KDR(sKDR) and its antibody on endotheliocyte(EC) proliferation.Methods: The binding of sKDR with VEGF was detected by ELISA. The KDR262 antiserum was prepared from rabbit and the specificity was defined by Western blot. The inhibition of EC proliferation was analyzed by 3H-TdR up-take, MTT and cell counter. Results: The sKDR could bind to VEGF165 specially, the ability was enhanced by heparin. The specific binding of KDR262 antiserum to KDR was also detected. The inhibitory rate of sKDR(10,2,0 4?g/ml) on EC proliferation was 56%,44%,32% respectively. The inhibitory rate of KDR262 antiserum (1∶50,1∶200,1∶800) was 70%, 56%,43% respectively. The cell counter also showed that EC proliferation was inhibited significantly in sKDR group and KDR262 antibody group, vs VEGF165 group, GST group and PBS group. The inhibitory effect was characterized by concentration-dependent and was higher in KDR262 antibody group than that in sKDR group. Conclusion: sKDR expressed by E.coli and its antibody had significant inhibitory influence on EC proliferation.

Objective To investigate the role of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) in attenuation of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury by delayed preconditioning with sevoflurane in rats.Methods Eighty male SD rats, weighing 250-300 g, were randomly assigned into 5 groups ( n = 16 each): Ⅰsham operation group (group S), Ⅱ group I/R, Ⅲ sevoflurane delayed preconditioning group (group SP), Ⅳ the mPTP opener atractyloside + sevoflurane delayed preconditioning group (group A + SP), and Ⅴ atractyloside group (group A). Myocardial I/R was induced by ligation of anterior descending branch of left coronary artery for 30 min followed by 120 min of reperfusion in group I/R, SP, A + SP and A. In group SP and A + SP, 2.5%sevoflurane was inhaled for 1 h, while pure oxygen was inhaled for 1 h in the other groups, and then myocardial ischemia was performed 24 h later. In group A + SP and A, atractyloside 5 mg/kg was injected intravenously via caudal vein 15 min before ischemia. Blood samples were taken from carotid arteries for detection of serum cardiac troponin-Ⅰ (cTnI) concentrations at the end of reperfusion. Then the rats were sacrificed and hearts removed. The myocardial infarct size (IS) and expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in the myocardium were determined. Myocardial ultrastructure was examined with the electron microscope. Results Serum cTnI concentrations and Bax expression were significantly higher, the myocardial IS was significantly larger and Bcl-2 expression was significantly lower in the other groups than in group S ( P ＜ 0.05). Serum cTnI concentrations and Bax expression were significantly lower, the myocardial IS was significantly smaller and Bcl-2 expression was significantly higher in group SP than in group I/R ( P ＜ 0.05). Microscopic examination showed less damage in group SP than in group I/R. The protection provided by sevoflurane preconditioning was abolished by atractyloside. Conclusion Inhibition of mPTP opening can result in an up-regulation of Bcl-2 expression and down-regulation of Bax expression, which plays a role in attenuation of myocardial I/R injury by delayed preconditioning with sevoflurane in rats.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance and correlation between RAR-βgene methylation and p53 gene mutation in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)in non-small-cell lung cancer.Methods BALF samples from 85 lung cancer pa-tients(lung cancer group)and 70 cases(benign lung diseases group)with benign lung diseases were collected.RAR-βgene methyla-tion in BALF samples was detected by methylation-specific PCR (MSP),and p53 gene mutation was detected by PCR and DNA se-quencing method.Results The rate of RAR-βmethylation and p53 mutation in BALF in lung cancer were 49.4% and 36.5%,re-spectively.Both were higher than in benign lung diseases group(P <0.01).RAR-βmethylation rate(32.5%)of patients with TNM stages(Ⅰ+Ⅱ)(32.5%)was higher than the p53 mutation rate(12.5%)over the same stages (P <0.05).RAR-βmethylation rate and p53 mutation rate of patients with stages(Ⅲ+Ⅳ)were higher than those with stages(Ⅰ+Ⅱ)(P <0.01).p53 mutation rate in lung cancer patients with RAR-βmethylation was higher than those with unmethylated(P <0.01).RAR-βmethylation rate of lung cancer patients with p53 mutation was higher than those without p53 mutation(P <0.01).Conclusion Detection of RAR-βmethyl-ation and p53 mutation in BALF contribute to the diagnosis of lung cancer.
