Objective　To study the clinical manifestation of small bowel tumors and the prognostic factors. Methods　Retrospective analysis of the clinical data were made on 42 cases of primary small bowel tumors (except periampullary tumors) admitted to our hospital from 1974 to 1999. Results　In this series, there were 6 cases of benign small bowel tumors, 5 of them were leiomyoma and 1 adenoma. Of the 36 cases of malignant 　tumors, there were malignant lyphoma in 17 cases (47.2%), adenocarcinoma in 11 (30.6%),　 leiomyosarcoma in 6(16.7%), carcinoid tumor in 1 (2.8%) and neurofibrosarcoma in 1 (2.8%). There was no characteristic clinical sign in small bowel tumors; endoscopy and barium series were the main diagnostic methods. About 50 per cent of patients with malignancy had metastasis, and only 18 cases (50%) received radical resection. Follow-up were available on 36 cases. The overall 5-year survival rate in the patients with malignant small bowel tumors was 47.3%. Multivariate analysis showed that metastasis and diameter of tumors were the main prognostic factors of the 5-year survival. Conclusions　Early diagnosis and early treatment play the key roles in improving the prognosis of malignant small bowel tumors. Radical resection should be taken if no metastasis is found.

AIM:To determine the effects of different-term streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetes on ischemia/reperfusion(I/R)injury and cell apoptosis in rats myocardial via alterations in myocardial peroxynitrite.METHODS:The models of I/R injury were induced by occlusion and reperfusion of the left descending coronary artery(LDCA)in rats.I/R-induced infarct size was determined using triphenyltetrazolium chloride(TTC)staining.Quantified caspase-3 expression was used to represent apoptosis by Western blotting analysis.Peroxynitrite formation as indicated by nitrotyrosine level was measured by morphometric analysis.RESULTS:Two weeks after STZ treatment,infarct size(35.00%?3.00%)was smaller in 2 weeks diabetic hearts(2WKD)as compared with time-matched control group(2WKC)(51.00%?3.30%),whereas after 16 weeks of diabetes(16WKD),the infarct size(61.00%?3.00%)was bigger in the diabetic hearts as compared with the 16WKC group(50.00%?2.00%,P

Objective To study the correlation of PAZ with anti-tuberculosis treatment regimen and drug-induced liver injury in tuberculosis patients with HBV-DNA positive in order to provide an optimized treatment regimen. Methods from Jan 2013 to Dec 2014, 199 pulmonary tuberculosis with HBV-DNA positive patients and 103 pulmonary tuberculosis patients without HBV in our hospital were collected. They were assigned as follows:122 cases were anti tuberculosis treatment with antiviral therapy,64 cases were A(HRZE),58 cases were B (HRE). 77 cases were anti tuberculosis treatment but not antiviral therapy , 41 cases were C (HRZE), 36 cases were D(HRE) and 103 patients without HBV were E (HRZE, the contrast group). We had observed the liver injury for 2 months after the treatment. Results 1.Incidence of liver injury was 34.38% in group A , higher than the cases in group B(20.69%,P > 0.05). 2.Incidence of liver injury in group C was apparently higher than in group D (73.17% vs. 30.56%,P < 0.05). 3.Incidence of liver injury in group B was lower than group D (20.69% vs. 30.56%,P > 0.05)4.Incidence of liver injury in group A was lower than group C (34.38% vs. 73.17%,P < 0.05).5. Incidence of liver injury in group A was higher than group E (34.38% vs. 17.48%,P< 0.05)and there was no difference between group B and group E (20.69% vs. 17.48%,P> 0.05). Conclusion Although anti tuberculosis treatment combined with antiviral therapy can be partially reduce the incidence of liver injury and relieve the severity of liver injury in tuberculosis patients infected with HBV , but PZA toxicity to hepatocytes is a major risk factor for liver injury , and we need to change the treatment plan to reduce the occurrence of liver injury.

Originating from Treatise on Cold Damage （ZHANG Zhongjing）， Wumeiwan is a representative prescription for pungent dispersing and bitter descending， upper clearing and warm purging， and combining cold and warm， which can be used to treat abdominal pain， enduring diarrhea， and syncope caused by cold and heat in complexity and asthenia in origin and sthenia in superficiality. Owing to the remarkable clinical efficacy， it is widely applied to the treatment of various internal injuries and external-contraction diseases. In recent years， the incidence of diseases of large intestine such as ulcerative colitis， Crohn's disease， and colorectal cancer has been on the rise， threatening the quality of life and health of patients. Major headway has been made in the clinical research on the treatment of the above diseases with Wumeiwan and on the mechanisms. However， no relevant summary is available， leading to the failure of further excavation and utilization of the value of this prescription in the treatment of the above diseases in time. Therefore， this paper reviews the theoretical basis， clinical research， and mechanism research of Wumeiwan and its modified formulas in the treatment of diseases of large intestine in recent years. The literature research suggests that Wumeiwan can effectively relieve clinical symptoms and reduce recurrence rate of large intestine diseases （including ulcerative colitis， Crohn's disease， diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome， colorectal cancer， chemotherapy-induced intestinal mucositis， and postoperative colorectal adenoma） with little adverse reactions. At the moment， the mechanisms of Wumeiwan against the above diseases are anti-inflammatory response， regulating immune function， repairing intestinal mucosal barrier， anti-tumor， regulating intestinal flora， anti-oxidative damage， analgesia， and inhibiting colonic epithelial cell apoptosis， but the specific molecular mechanism should be further explored. Through literature research， this paper comprehensively analyzes the theoretical basis， clinical research， and mechanisms of Wumeiwan in the treatment of diseases of large intestine， which is expected to serve as a reference for the further research on Wumeiwan in the prevention and treatment of diseases of large intestine and the mechanisms.

Objective:To study the protective effect of alendronate combined with Lactobacillus rhamnosus on bone loss in ovariectomized mice.Methods:Fifty female C57BL/6 mice were divided into 5 equal groups ( n=10). Ovariotomy was performed in groups A, B, C and D while a sham operation was performed in group E. Group A was subjected to combined administration of alendronate and Lactobacillus rhamnosus, group B to administration of alendronate, group C to administration of Lactobacillus rhamnosus, and groups D and E to administration of physiological saline only. At 3 months after operation, all the mice were sacrificed to harvest their femurs. Micro CT scanning was performed to detect the bone mineral density (BMD), trabecular relative volume, bone surface area/bone volume, and trabecular thickness and number of trabecular bone. Three-point bending test was used to detect the maximum load, stiffness, ultimate load, Young＇s modulus, and fracture energy. Osteocalcin and alkaline phosphatase levels were measured using blood samples from the mice eyeballs. The 2 groups were compared in terms of all the above indexes. Results:The BMD [(669.87±67.87) mg/cm 3], maximum load [(14.35±0.75) N] and fracture energy [(1,497.43±38.29) J/m 2] in group A were significantly higher than those in group B [(520.07±9.01) mg/cm 3, (11.94±0.82) N and(1,277.61±35.12) J/m 2] and group C [(388.15±25.61) mg/cm 3, (11.10±0.93) N and (1,115.27±63.24) J/m 2] (all P<0.05). The osteocalcin level in group A [(22.25±1.78) ng/mL] was significantly higher than that in group B [(19.08±1.45) ng/mL] and group D [(19.33±1.66) ng/mL] (both P<0.05). The alkaline phosphatase level in group A [(83.21±9.69) ng/mL] was significantly lower than that in group C [(113.16±14.44) ng/mL] and group D [(137.96±14.01) g/mL] (both P<0.05). Conclusion:Alendronate combined with Lactobacillus rhamnosus may play a synergistic role in prevention of bone loss in ovariectomized mice, because combined administration of the two is more effective than administration of either of the two.

Background: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) is correlated with the development and progression of malignant tumor. Recent studies have shown the potentials of some circRNAs in the early diagnosis, screening of therapeutic targets and prognostic judgment of gastric cancer. Aims: To investigate the serum circNRIP1 expression and its clinical significance in the diagnosis, treatment and prediction of prognosis of gastric cancer. Methods: A total of 76 gastric cancer patients diagnosed by pathology from September 2016 to September 2019 at Dujiangyan People's Hospital were enrolled, and 63 healthy individuals were served as controls. Serum circNRIP1 expression was detected by real time fluorescent quantitative PCR, and its correlation with clinicopathological features was analyzed. ROC curve was used to analyze the diagnostic efficiency. Results: Serum circNRIP1 expression in gastric cancer group was significantly higher than that in healthy control group (P<0.01). The circNRIP1 expression in gastric cancer patients was significantly correlated with the differentiation of tumor cells, depth of infiltration, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage (P<0.05). Serum circNRIP1 expression in gastric cancer patients after operative treatment was significantly lower than that before treatment (P<0.05). After 2 years follow-up, serum circNRIP1 expression in survival group was significantly lower than that in death group (P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the sensitivity of serum circNRIP1 expression for gastric cancer was 88.9%, the specificity was 88.2%, and AUC was 0.876. Conclusions: Detecting serum circNRIP1 expression has significant value in the early diagnosis and evaluation of treatment and prediction of prognosis of gastric cancer.

BACKGROUND: Little is known about the effects of environmental cobalt exposure on insulin resistance (IR) in the general adult population. We investigated the association between cobalt concentration and IR. METHODS: A total of 1281 subjects aged more than 20 years with complete blood cobalt data were identified from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2015-2016 cycle. Blood cobalt levels were analyzed for their association with IR among all populations and subgroups by sex. Regression coefficients and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of blood cobalt concentrations in association with fasting glucose, insulin and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were estimated using multivariate linear regression after adjusting for age, sex, ethnicity, alcohol consumption, body mass index, education level, and household income. A multivariate generalized linear regression analysis was further carried out to explore the association between cobalt exposure and IR. RESULTS: A negative association between blood cobalt concentration (coefficient = - 0.125, 95% CI - 0.234, - 0.015; P = 0.026) and HOMA-IR in female adults in the age- and sex-adjusted model was observed. However, no associations with HOMA-IR, fasting glucose, or insulin were found in the overall population. In the generalized linear models, participants with the lowest cobalt levels had a 2.74% (95% CI 0.04%, 5.50%) increase in HOMA-IR (P for trend = 0.031) compared with subjects with the highest cobalt levels. Restricted cubic spline regression suggested that a non-linear relationship may exist between blood cobalt and HOMA-IR. CONCLUSIONS These results provide epidemiological evidence that low levels of blood cobalt are negatively associated with HOMA-IR in female adults.
