Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic autoimmune gastrointestinal disorder induced by ingestion of gluten-containing foods.In the past CD was thought prevalent only in Western countries,whereas it has been found common throughout the world and increasing numbers of Chinese patients has been reported recently.However,there are still many deficiencies in management of patients with CD in China and either the diagnosis or the treatment of CD is lacking evidence-based clinical pathway.We report a case of a young woman with CD presenting with chronic diarrhea,abdominal distention,and weight loss,whose outcome was improved by following evidence-based guidelines of medical nutrition therapy.Diagnosis and treatment of the patient was analyzed with review of foreign and domestic literature to provide readers reference of the standardized nutritional intervention of CD.

Objective To explore whether living in rural areas may reduce the risk of atopic sensitization. Methods The standardized questionnaires were answered by the parents of 2 986 school children during 2004 to 2005. Radioallergosorbent technique-fluorescence enzyme immunoassay (RAST-FEIA) was used to determine the level of specific IgE in the serum of the children. The risk factors were analyzed by Logistic regression. Results Compared with the subjects living in the towns from birth, the risk of atopic sensitization was lowest in the subjects living in the villages from birth (OR=0.32, 95%CI: 0.11-0.62) and it was moderate in the subjects who had relocated from village to town (OR=0.51, 95%CI: 0.28-0.92), there was a significant trend among them (P for trend

Objective:To assesss the effectiveness of dapoxetine in the treatment of premature ejaculation.Methods:Both English and Chinese studies involving men with prematrue ejaculation who were treated with dapoxetine from the Cochrane Library,MEDLINE,EMBASE and CNKI,CBM,VIP between 1979 and 2009.were included in the randomized controlled trials(RCTs) and the data processed by RevMan.Results:Five RCTs involving 4433 patients were included in the Meta analysis,of which 3 were of grade A and 2 were of grade B according to the quality evaluation of methodology.Intravaginal ejaculatory latency time(IELT),patient-reported global impression of change(PGI),satisfaction with sexual intercourse(SWSI),perceived control over ejaculation(PCOE),personal distress related to ejaculation(PDRE) were used for assessment.Meta analysis based on included studies of patients having been treated with dapoxetine for 9-24 weeks showed that:(1) the difference of the patients' IELT between treatment group and control group was statistically significan [P

ObjectiveTo investigate the changes of non-linear dynamics characteristics of EEG of the patients with menopause depression under eyes closed state.MethodsEEG were recorded in 18 patients with menopause depression and 18 healthy volunteers under eyes closed state. Approximate entropy (ApEn) was calculated for all subjects.ResultsApEn of the menopause depression group at eyes closed state increased significantly compared with that of the healthy control group.ConclusionDynamic non-linear analysis is more appropriate for the study of mental functions changes of menopause depression.

Objective To investigate the involvement of sympathetic nerve system in the transmission of nociceptive information related to vascular headache. Methods Fos expression in the midbrain periaqueductal grey (PAG) induced by electrical stimulation of dural matter near the superior sagittal sinus (SSS) of the rat was determined before and after the extirpation of the superior cervical ganglion (SCG) using standard avidin-biotin immunohistochemistry. Results Fos immunoreactive positive neurons were detected in the ventrolateral PAG, and were bilateral symmetry. Fos expression was (133.3±12.5) in SCG extirpated group, and higher than that in sham-operated group (76.0±11.3). Conclusion The sympathetic system may be involved in the transmission of nociceptive information through PAG, associated with vascular headache such as migraine.

ObjectiveTo investigate the changes of non-linear dynamics characteristics of EEG during picture memory masks, and the application of non-linear dynamic analysis for memory research.MethodsEEGs of 30 healthy old volunteers were recorded under the states of opened eyes and picture memory. Correlation dimension (D2) was calculated for all subjects.ResultsD2 increased significantly during memory tasks compared with the rest state with eyes opened (P<0.05). In different memory tasks, the complexity of mental functions and the regions involved in the memory task were different.ConclusionNon-linear analysis is appropriate for the study of functional changes and working mechanism of brain during memory.

Objective To evaluate the safety and feasibility of natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery(NOTES)with current available techniques and endoscopic accessories.Methods Transgastric and transvaginal endoscopic abdominal cavity exploration were performed in 6 female pigs.A needle-knife and a ERCP scalpel were used to make an anterior gastric wall incision,and a dilating balloon to expand the passage,through which a therapeutic gastroscope was sent into the abdominal cavity to seek the target organ.Partial liver resection was performed in 2 cases.For incision closure,a clip was applied to the incision orifice or it was just given putting-aside therapy.One week later,the abdominal cavity was examined via vagina.Another week later,it was observed via other incision of the stomach.Four weeks after the operation,the pigs were sacrificed.Adhesion,injury to the organs and closure of the incision were evaluated.Results Transgastric procedures were performed 12 times and transvaginal procedures 6 times.Mean operation time via stomach was 33.4±10.9 min.and that via vagina WaS 10.1±2.5 min.All animals recovered and gained weight after the operation.The incision healed up with no obvious complications.Re-exploration showed adhesion of various degrees,no effusion,or injury to the organs were observed.Ketamine plus propofol achieved satisfactory anesthetic effect with no complications.One of the two animals which underwent liver partial resection died of disphragmatic muscle perforation.Hemarrhage occurred twice,both in the procedures via satisfied.One case developed abdominal abscess.Conclusion It Was feasible and safe to perform NOTES via transgastric and transvaginal approach to the abdominal cavity and liver resection.But development of NOTES specific instruments is essential to the procedure.
