Objective To study clinical features and its diagnosis and treatment of alcoholic cirrhosis.Methods 68 cases with alcoholic cirrhosis were retrospectively analyzed,with cirrhosis from hepatitis B as control.Results Alcoholic cirrhosis accounted for 8.5% of in-patient cirrhosis in the correspomding period,mean age being(53.5?14.6),and with more than 135g alcohol intake per day which persisted over 10 years.Such signs significantly increased as dark complexion,liver palms,spider naevi,hepatomegaly,ynecomastia,hypertrophy of parotid gland,?-glutamyltansferase(GGT),ratio of aspartate aminotransferase(AST) to alanine aminotransferase(ALT),mean corpuscular volume(MCV),uric acid(UA),serum ferritin(SF) rose apparently,usually combined with hepatogenic diabetes,peptic ulcer,hyperuricemia,hyperlipemia.Peculiar complication were alcohol withdrawal syndrome,gort,gouty arthritis,aseptic necrosis of femur.Among them,53 cases(77.9%) improved clinically,9 cases(13.2%) showed no effect,6 cases(8.8%) died.Conclusions Occurrence of dark complexion,liver palms,spider naevi,hepatomegaly,ynecomastia,hypertrophy of parotid gland and test of GGT,AST/ALT,MCV,UA,SF are helpful to clinic and differentiation diagnosis of alcoholic cirrhosis,abstinence are not able to prevent its development.Long-term therapy aiming at endotoxin toxemia might improve prognosis of alcoholic cirrhosis.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of PGE_1 for the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia due to viral hepatitis.Methods A prospective,randomized,single blind and parallel control clinical study enrolled 100 patients with icterohepatitis,who were randomized 1∶1 to two treatment groups;Each group was intravenously infused daily over a six-week treatment period:(1)200?g of PGE_1 injection;(2)20ml of potassium-magnesium aspartate injection.Results The PGE_1 treated patients were more superior in the recoveries of physical characteristics,icteric index and liver functions to the control group.The statistical difference of the PGE_1 group from the potassium-magnesium aspartate in the treatment of icterohepatitis occurred in the 3rd week of the therapy(P0.05).Conclusion PGE_1 is effective in the treatment of the acute or chronic viral hepatitis and the hyperbilirubinemia caused by early stage severe hepatitis.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of PEG-INF alpha-2a(PEG-INF-2a)on patients with chronic hepatitis C.Methods 60 patients with hepatitis C were included in this study.30 patients were treated with PEGINF-2a(180μg or 135μg/week)and RBV 900mg/d,30 patients were treated with IFNα-2a(5 MIU/qod)and RBV 900 mg/d.The time of treatment was 48 weeks,and all the patients were followed up for 24 weeks after treatment.There was no significant difference between the two groups in pretreatment HCV-RNA,HCV genotype and other clinical data.The main parameters to evaluate the efficacy were virological and biochemical responses.The side effects were intensively observed.Results Sustained vimlogical response(SVR)rate in PEG-IFNα-2a group was significantly higher than that in IFNα-2a group(56.5%and 19.5%respectively,P＜0.01).As the patients were divided according to HCV genotype 1 and high virus load.the SVR rate of PEG-IFNα-2a group Was higher than IFNα-2a group(P＜0.01).However,there was no significant difference between two groups in the patients with non-genotype 1 and low viral load(P=0.664,0.116).Similar side-effects were observed in PEG IFNα-2a group and IFNα-2a group,but the rate of weisht decline and the degree of leukocyte decrease were more significant in PEG IFNα-2a group than in IFNα-2a group(P＜0.01).Conclusion The efficacy of PEG IFNα-2a in the treatment of chromic hepatitis C is superior to that of conventional IFNα-2a,PEG-IFNα-2a had good tolerance and safety profiles.

Objective To compare the analgesic effect ofHuamoyan Keli(HMYKL) between Kunming mice and BALB/c mice.Methods Eighty Kunming mice and eighty BALB/c mice were randomly divided into five groups, respectively: a control group, a ibuprofen group, a HMYKL high-dose group(13.98 g crude dru g/kg), HMYKL middle-dose group(6.99 g crude drug/kg)and a HMYKL low-dose group(3.50 g crude dru g/kg). There were 16 mice in each group with 8 male mice and 8 female mice. Drugs were administered intragastrically daily for 5 days. After 1 h of drug treatment on day 4, the latency of tail-flick response was evaluated using illuminated pain measurement instrument. After the last drug treatment, pain model was established by i.p. acetic acid, writhing latency and writhing times were recorded to evaluate the analgesic effect of HMYKL.Results In tail-flick test, there was no statistical difference among male and female Kunming mice in the HMYKL groups. Among male BALB/c mice, the latency in HMYKL middle-dose group was significantly longer than that in the control group(4.84±1.16 minvs. 3.93±0.76 min,P<0.05). In writhing test, compared with control group(19.06±6.34), the writhing times among BALB/c mice were decreased in HMYKL high-dose group(8.56±6.19), HMYKL middle-dose group(5.73±3.17), HMYKL low-dose group(6.88±4.59)(allP<0.01).Conclusion All dose groups of HMYKL showed good analgesic effect on the pain induced by chemical stimulation and there was no sex difference. Kunming mice were not suitable for the evaluation of the analgesic pharmacodynamics because of their large individual difference. On contrast, BALB/c mice which had less individual difference could be used to produce the model of pain.

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects on acute and chronic inflammation ofHuamoyan Granules(HMYG).Methods KM mice and SD rats were randomly divided into model group, ibuprofen group and HMYG high, middle and low three dosages groups. The Ibuprofen group was administrated drug by gavage, mice 0.13 g/kg and rats 0.093 g/kg. The HMYG groups were administrated orally, mice 12, 6 and 3g/kg, rats 4, 4.2 and 2.1 g/kg. The model group was given the same volume distilled water, once a day, 3 or 10 continuous days. The increased permeability of mice abdominal capillary was induced by acetic acid, edema of rat hind paw was induced by albumen and carrageenin, which both were adopted to observe the acute anti-inflammatory effects; and cotton pellet granuloma was to observe the chronic anti- inflammation effects of HMYG.Results Compared with the model group, the ibuprofen group, the HMYG high and middle group showed anti-inflammatory actions of mice induced by acetic acid (0.185 ± 0.046, 0.177 ± 0.055, 0.190 ± 0.052vs. 0.246 ± 0.050,P<0.05 orP<0.01); after 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 6 hrs inflammation, HMYG high dosage group had significant inhibition for the edema of rats hind paw induced byalbumen model, the inhibitory rate was 22.46%, 19.20% and 24.32%, 33.75%, 24.19%; 4 and 6 hrs after inflammation, HMYG high dosage group could reduce rats paw edema induced by carrageenin, the inhibitory rate was 32.05%, 30.56% and 19.23%, 20.83%.Conclusion HMYG has evident anti-inflammatory effects on acute inflammation.

OBJECTIVE To explore the discrimination of processing degree of Zingiber officinale charcoal and the correlation between color and component content based on machine vision system， and provide reference for quality evaluation and processing degree control of Z. officinale charcoal. METHODS High-performance liquid chromatography method was used to determine the contents of 5 components in Z. officinale charcoal and its different processed products， such as 6-gingerol， 8-gingerol， 10-gingerol， 6-shogaol， gingerone. Machine vision system was used to obtain the image of the decoction pieces and extract the color features of the decoction pieces in RGB， L*a*b* and HSV color spaces. Machine learning methods， such as principal component analysis （PCA）， linear discriminant analysis （LDA）， partial least squares-discriminant analysis （PLS-DA） and support vector machine （SVM）， were used to establish qualitative identification model for Z. officinale charcoal processed products of different processing degree. The correlation between the color eigenvalues and the contents of measured 5 components were analyzed， and the color- component content prediction model was established.RESULTS With the deepening of processing， gingerone was produced after processing and the content firstly increased and then decreased， and the content of gingerone in standard carbon was the highest； the contents of 6-gingerol， 8-gingerol and 10-gingerol decreased gradually； the content of 6-shogaol increased firstly and then decreased. The prediction accuracy of qualitative discriminant model， which was established on the basis of objective quantization of image and color combined with LDA and SVM of supervised discriminant pattern recognition method， reached 100% in cross-validation training and 95.83% in the external validation. Content prediction model of 5 components was established on the basis of objective quantization of image and color combined with SVM， the RPD values were all greater than 2， the R2P and R2C values of gingerone were 0.633 9 and 0.683 3， and the values of other components were all greater than 0.75， indicating SVM had good prediction ability for the contents of 4 components except for gingerone. CONCLUSIONS The machine vision system is excellent for the discrimination of the processing degree of Z. officinale charcoal and the content prediction， which can provide a reference for the quality control of Z. officinale charcoal decoction pieces and the judgment of the processing degree.
