Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2017;33(6):1011-1016
Asian-pacific area,especially China,is Hepatitis B high epidemic area.Since 2011,the first generation of oral direct anti-HCV agents (DAAs) came to clinical use,the treatment of chronic hepatitis C has switched from interferon-based regimen era to DAA era.There is an increased awareness of hepatitis B (HBV) reactivation in chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients coinfected with HBV treated with pan-oral direct-acting antivirals(DAAs).Compared with interferon-based regimen,HBV reactivation occurred earlier and more severe among patients received DAA regimen,and even fetal cases or case end up with liver transplantation was reported.Thus,association of liver diseases called to alert the occurrence of HBV reactivation among CHC patients who received DAAs regimen.It is hence important to have HBV serology screened in all CHC patients before initiation of pan-oral DAAs therapy and the usefulness of preemptive administration of effective anti-HBV nucleos(t) ide analogues in coinfected patients need to be further studied.

Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2015;38(9):632-634
Objective To investigate the effect and safety of solifenacin on urination in patients with overactivity bladder (OAB) by randomized controlled clinical trials. Methods One hundred and eight patients with OAB were randomized divided into observation group and control group, each with 54 patients. The patients in two groups were respectively treated by solifenacin and tolterodine. After treatment for 8 weeks, the curative effect, urination and adverse reaction were compared between two groups. Results The total effective rate in observation group was 85.19%(46/54), in control group was 68.52%(37/54), there was significant difference (P<0.05). After treatment for 8 weeks, the frequency of urination for 24 h in observation group was less than that in control group [(7.2 ±3.1) times vs. (9.7 ±3.2) times], the levels of initial micturition desir bladder volume, maximum bladder pressure volume, maximum urine flow rate in observation group were better than those in control group:(215.4±34.6) ml vs. (184.1±42.1) ml, (341.6±24.5) ml vs. (283.4±24.8) ml, (20.4±5.8) ml/s vs. (16.8±7.1) ml/s, there were significant differences (P<0.05). The total scores and urgency scores of OAB symptom score (OABSS) in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group: (3.7±2.5) scores vs.(4.9±2.1) scores, (0.4±0.1) scores vs. (0.7±0.4) scores, P<0.05. The adverse reaction rate in observation group was 18.52%(10/54), in control group was 48.15%(26/54), there was significant difference ( P<0.01). Conclusions Solifenacin can improve urination in OAB patients, and compared with tolterodine, it has higher efficacy and less adverse reaction. It is worthy of clinical application.

Objective The study was to investigate the value of deduction and application of anterior compression index in evaluation of atlantoaxial dislocation and restoration. Method Twenty-eight cases of the control group and 28 cases of atlantoaxial dislocation treated with posterior restoration and screw-rod internal fixation technique before and af?ter surgery were recruited in this study and their data was retrospectively analyzed. All of the people underwent sagittal computerized tomography scan films. The anterior compression index was measured in all cases. Results The mean value of anterior compression index of the control group was 87.86±24.98. The mean value of anterior compression index of the preoperative patients was 230.44 ± 97.60 and the mean value of the postoperative patients was 106.27 ± 73.53. There was significant difference in those two parameters between the preoperative patients and the controls(t=-7.50,P<0.0001). There was no significant difference between the postoperative patients and the control group (t=-1.26, P=0.2171). Anteri?or compression index were significantly lower after surgical operation (t=10.35, compared with before, P<0.0001). Con?clusion Anterior compression index can be an excellent measurement tool for the assessment of relationship of atlas and axis in atlantoaxial dislocation patients before and after posterior restoration operation.

Objective To investigate the change of AQP1 and AQP2 before and after the release of obstruction and explore the relationship between reabsorption dysfunction of renal tubule and the change of AQPs. Methods The model of unilateral ureter obstruction (UUO) was established by surgery. Western blot and immunohistochemistry were used to study the expression of AQPs before and after obstruction. Results In UUO model, both AQPs began to down-regulate one day after obstruction, the expression of both AQPs became lower one day after the release of obstruction. And they started to up-regulate 7 day after the release of obstruction. AQP2 became normal since 14 days after the release of obstruction, and AQP1 became normal since 21 days after the release of obstruction. Conclusion The expression of AQP1 and AQP2 were descended in hydronephrosis. The dysfunction of renal tubule and the osmotic-dependent polyuria after the release of obstruction in UUO were caused by the down - regulation of AQPs.

Objective:To correlate blood lipids and body mass index (BMI) with Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection. Methods:A total of 303 participants who underwent physical examinations at The 903 Hospital of PLA Joint Logistics Support Force from May 2022 to May 2023 were included in this case-control study. These patients were divided into an Hp-infected group ( n = 97) and a non-Hp-infected group ( n = 206) based on whether they had Hp infection or not. Participants' body height and weight were recorded, and BMI was calculated. The levels of four blood lipid indicators were determined using an automatic biochemical analyzer. The distribution of different BMIs and abnormal statuses of these four blood lipid indicators were compared between the two groups. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between Hp infection and these four blood lipid indicators. A multivariate logistic regression model was applied to analyze the influential factors for Hp infection. Results:The number of participants who had 24 kg/m 2 ≤ BMI < 28 kg/m 2 [39.17% (38/97)] and the number of participants who had BMI ≥ 28 kg/m 2 [10.31% (10/97)] in the Hp-infected group was significantly higher than those in the non-Hp-infected group [19.90% (41/206) and 2.43% (5/206), χ2 = 12.71, 7.11, P < 0.001, 0.008]. The decrease rate of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), increase rate of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), increase rate of triglyceride (TG), and increase rate of total cholesterol (TC) in the Hp-infected group were 23.71% (23/97), 31.96% (31/97), 17.53% (17/97), and 22.68% (22/97), respectively, which were significantly higher than 9.22% (19/206), 11.17% (23/206), 7.28% (15/206), and 8.74% (18/206) in the non-Hp-infected group ( χ2 = 11.59, 19.47, 7.33, 11.19, P = 0.001, < 0.001, 0.007, 0.001). The Spearman analysis showed that Hp infection was linearly positively correlated with BMI, LDL-C, TG, and TC ( r = 0.571, 0.519, 0.473, 0.535, all P < 0.001), while it was linearly negatively correlated with HDL-C ( r = -0.628, P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that BMI ≥ 24 kg/m 2, decreased HDL-C, increased LDL-C, elevated TG, and elevated TC are independent risk factors for Hp infection. Conclusion:Blood lipids and BMI are closely associated with Hp infection, and abnormal blood lipids and elevated BMI are independent risk factors for Hp infection.

ObjectiveTo explore the risk of different levels of pre-pregnancy obesity on trimester-specific thyroid dysfunction. MethodsQuestionnaire information, blood samples, and urine samples from a 2017 pregnancy cohort study in Shanghai, China were collected. A total of 2 455 pregnant women were included in the analysis. Pre-pregnancy BMI was calculated based on the height and self-reported pre-pregnancy weight. Serum TSH, total thyroxine (TT4), free thyroxine (FT4), total triiodothyronine (TT3), free triiodothyronine (FT3), thyroid globulin antibody(TgAb), and Thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) were measured using the electrochemiluminescence method. Urine iodine levels were measured using the acid digestion method. Levels of thyroid function indexes of pregnant women with different degrees of obesity during pre-pregnancy were compared, and trimester-specific thyroid dysfunction was evaluated according to the reference range of trimester-specific thyroid hormone established by this cohort. Multivariate logistic regressions analysis was used to assess the correlation between pre-pregnancy obesity and trimester-specific thyroid dysfunction. ResultsAs the degree of obesity increased, maternal levels of FT3 and TT3 gradually increased during pregnancy (P<0.001, P=0.001), while FT4 levels gradually decreased (P=0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the normal weight group, pregnant women who were overweight or obesity before pregnancy had a significantly higher risk of hypothyroxinemia (OR=3.85, 95%CI: 2.08‒7.14, P<0.001) and high TT3 (OR=2.78, 95%CI: 1.45‒5.26, P=0.002) during pregnancy. ConclusionPre-pregnancy overweight or obesity can increase the risk of thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy.
