Objective: To analyze the published domestic documents of the clinical trial for treatment of anal fissure in past 10 years, to evaluate the quality of literatures about anal fissure randomized controlled clinical trials, and to provide references of clinical studies for the treatments of anal fissure in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Methods: In term of principles of evidence-based medicine, we evaluate the published domestic literatures of the randomized controlled clinical trial for treatments of anal f issure in past 10 years. Results: We analyze 52 literatures which are in the method of randomized controlled clinical studies. 28 literatures (accounting for 53.85%) record diagnostic criteria, 38 literatures (accounting for 73.08%) make sure standards of evaluating the effect and 18 literatures (accounting for 34.62%) mention comparability between groups without describing the baseline statistics. Only 5 are marked as a funded research projects. Conclusion: in current published literatures of randomized controlled study for treatments of anal fi ssure, the problems are focused on: ① Experimental idea is unclear and design is unreasonable, ② The description of implemented process in randomized control is unspecif ic, ③ Signifi cant parameters in statistical data are missed and with less credibility, ④ Criteria of diagnosis and effi cacy are different, ⑤ Evaluation indicators are fuzzy. All above clue to the quality of clinical research needs to be improved rapidly, and standardized evaluation of eff icacy also needs to be created urgently.

Neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NP-SLE) is more common in young woman but not yet in people over 75 years old.We report a case of NP-SLE in an old woman,who complained of tremor,hypermyotonia and gatism.The lab examinations showed strong positive (1∶3200) ANA,decreased levels of CH50,C3,C4,WBC,RBC,PLT,anti-ds-DNA(+),anti-Sm(+),SSA(+),PO(+),RO-52(+),urine blood (+) and protein (+).The proteins,MBPand IgGin CSF were increased.Head MRI scan showed many demyelination in bilateral intra ventricular and multiple patchy irregular long T1 and T2 signal under right parietal subcortical.The patient was immediately given methylprednisolone hormone therapy,combined with gamma globulin and hydroxychloroquine.After 4 days of treatment,most symptoms such as tremor and hypermyotonia disappeared.Laboratory tests showed that all immune markers changed better in three weeks.The patient was discharged in 4 weeks.it must be identified with cerebrovascular disease,Parkinson's disease and other common diseases in elderly people.It can be improved if the diagnosis and treatment of NP-SLE is immediately and the illness is well controlled.

The sub-health status is closely related to the functions and activities of heart in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The sub-health is commonly presented with a series of heart system symptoms such as palpitation, chest distress, shortness of breath, fatigue, fidgets and insomnia. It may also be accompanied with arrhythmia or blood pressure value between normal and high level. This heart system sub-health status can be transformed into re-lated heart system diseases with high possibility. This article made a review from aspects of theoretical literature, an-imal experiment, curative effect observation and clinical evaluation on the research progress of heart system sub-health status.

In this paper, the Fourier transform based minimum mean square error (FT-based MMSE) method is used to calculate the regional cerebral blood volume (rCBV) in magnetic resonance (MR) perfusion imaging, and the method is improved to handle the existing noise in the imaging process. In the experiments with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 50 dB, the rCBV values were compared with the results using MMSE method. The effects of different SNRs on the estimation of rCBV were analyzed. The experimental results showed that MMSE was a simple way to filter the measurement noise, and could calculate rCBV accurately. Compared with other existing methods, the present method is not sensitive to environment, and furthermore, it is suitable to deal with the perfusion images acquired from the environment with larger SNR.

This study was aimed to discuss the ways of converting clinical data entered in the Case Report Form (CRF) to Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM) database format in clinical research of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Currently, there were three approaches for implementing SDTM, which were the pure SDTM approach, submission-only approach and database-only approach. This article compared and analyzed advantages and disadvantages of three approaches and introduced experiences of the Clinical Evaluation Center of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences using database-only approach for SDTM implementation. The results showed that pure SDTM approach can maximally embrace SDTM standards. However, the current process and software system should be modified. Therefore, it was time-consuming and expensive. The submission-only approach was the most economic way in the application of SDTM standards. However, the data quality and traceability may not be guaranteed. The database-only approach built the study database based on the SDTM standard by writing transformed program before data entry while the data collection system was not SDTM-compatible. It was concluded that database-only approach for implementation SDTM was a suitable and practical way to TCM clinical research.

Objective To investigate the incidence of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) during the third trimester of pregnancy and its effects on pregnancy outcomes and neonatal hypothyroidism.Methods A total of 10 695 women in the third trimester of pregnancy (28-42 weeks of gestation) who labored from January 1,to December 31,2012 in Changzhou Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University were enrolled.The levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH),free thyroxine (FT4) and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) of the mothers were quantified by electrochemical immunoassay.The time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay was used to detect neonatal thyroid hormone levels.Using t test or x2test,the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes was compared between SCH group and euthyroid group and between SCH women with positive (n=40) or negative TPOAb (n=176).Results The incidence of SCH was 2.02％ (216/10 695) and the positive rate of TPOAb in SCH women was 18.5％ (40/216).No neonatal thyroid dysfunction was found.According to the age matched,222 cases were randomly selected as controls from 7 757 euthyroid women.Compared with the controls,SCH women had a higher incidence of premature rupture of membranes [28.7％ (62/216) vs 14.9％ (33/222),x2=12.34],anemia [11.6％ (25/216) vs 4.1％ (9/222),x2=8.65],pregnancy-induced hypertension [9.7％ (21/216) vs 4.5％ (10/222),x2=4.53],premature labor [8.8％ (19/216) vs 3.6％ (8/222),x2=5.10] and intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy [8.3％(18/216) vs 2.3％ (5/222),x2=8.14] (all P＜0.05).The overall incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes was also higher in SCH group than in the controls [69.4％ (150/216) vs 49.5％ (110/222),x2=17.96,P＜0.01].The incidence of fetal growth restriction and still birth in SCH mothers with positive TPOAb was higher than in those with negative TPOAb [7.5％ (3/40) vs 0.0％ (0/176),x2=13.32,P＜0.01; 2.5％ (1/40) vs 0.0％ (0/176),x2=4.40,P＜0.05],but there was no significant difference in the overall incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes compared with TPOAb-negative mothers [65.0％ (26/40) vs 70.5％ (124/176),x2=0.46,P=0.50].Conclusions SCH diagnosed in the third trimester may lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes.Early screening for thyroid dysfunction is necessary.
