Objective To discuss the effect of triple therapy plus traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of peptic ulcer (PU) caused by Helicobacter pylori ( Hp) .Methods 148 cases with PU were randomly divided into study group and control group of 74 cases in each group.The control group were treated with triple therapy (omeprazole +clarithromycin +amoxicillin), and the study group were given liver-discharging and heat-clearing and invigorating spleen and removing blood stasis decoction, additionally.Both groups received treatment for one course of 4 weeks.The changes of clinical symptoms, negative conversion ratio of Hp and adverse reaction were compared.Results The scores of clinical symptoms were all significantly decreased in both two groups after treatment (P<0.05), but the study group changed more than control group (P<0.05).The total effective rate was 95.95%, rather higher than 79.73% in control group (P<0.05).The negative conversion ratio of Hp was 82.43%, obviously higher than 64.86% in control group (P<0.05).The incidence of adverse reaction was 12.16% in study group, similar to 9.46% in control group.Conclusion Triple therapy plus traditional Chinese medicine can significantly improve the clinical symptoms, clinical effect and negative conversion ratio of Hp, and has a good safety and tolerability.

Lots of studies have identified the relationship between hyperuricemia and cardiovascular diseases. Many factors affect the metabolism of uric acid, such as diet, drug, internal environment of organism, etc. However, the relationship between hyperuricemia and cardiovascular diseases is not quite clear. In this review, we present recently published data about the association between hyperuricemia and selected cardiovascular diseases.

To investigate the influence of the difference enhancers on the transport mechanism of chlorogenic acid (CGA) across Caco-2 cells model, a RP-HPLC method was adopted to detect the concentrations of CGA. At the concentrations of 20 to 80 microg x mL(-1), the difference of absorption rate constants (K(a)) was not statistically significant. At the concentrations of 40 and 20 microg x mL(-1), the ratios of apparent permeability coefficients (P(app)) of the apical to basolateral and the basolateral to apical were 1.14 and 1.18, respectively. With the effect of enhancers K(a) and P(app) increased, the absorption half-life (T1/2) decreased. CGA passed through the Caco-2 cell membrane mainly by passive transport. It showed that monocarboxylic acid transporter (MCT) could be involved in the across membrane transport process of CGA. Borneol had no effect on the cell membrane transport processes. The order of increasing absorption of CGA caused by the enhancers was sodium lauryl sulphate > sodium taurocholate > carbomer.

Aim To investigate the effect of acacetin on cell proliferation and the influence of acacetin on estrogen receptor expression in vitro.Methods The proliferation rates and the cell cycle changes of acace-tin-treated T47D cells were measured by sulforhodam-ine B(SRB)assay and flow cytometry,respectively. Moreover,the mRNA expressions of estrogen receptor-alpha(ERα),estrogen receptor-beta(ERβ)and pro-liferating antigen(Ki67)were determined by quantita-tive real time PCR (qPCR).Western blot was em-ployed to detect the ERαand ERβprotein expression. Results Acacetin significantly promoted the prolifera-tion and increased the amount of cells arrested in S and G2 /M phase under the concentration of 0.001 ~1 0μmol·L -1 .Ki67 mRNA level and the ERαprotein level in T47D cells were remarkably upregulated after acacetin treatment.To clarify which estrogen receptors played a role in acacetin induced the proliferation of T47D cells,the combination treatment of acacetin and ERαinhibitor (MPP)/ERβ inhibitor (PHTPP) was employed.We found that MPP could reverse the cell proliferation,the cell arrested in S and G2 /M phase and the increased Ki67 mRNA level induced by acace-tin.PHTPP also alleviated the T47D cell proliferation induced by acacetin,whereas no significant changes were found in cell cycle and Ki67 mRNA level.Con-clusion Acacetin stimulates the cell proliferation of T47D cells in the concentration from 0.001 μmol · L -1 to 1 0 μmol·L -1 ,which is mainly mediated by ERα.

Objective To explore the impact of basal sphincter of Oddi (SO) pressure on pancreatobiliary reflux (PBR).Methods A total of 120 consecutive patients who received therapeutic ERCP for biliary tract diseases with or without the history of EST were enrolled,and were assigned to normal basal SO pressure group (n =23),elevated basal pressure group (n =55) and EST group (n =24).Basal SO pressure,bile amylase (BA) and bacteria culture findings were compared between the three groups.Results There were no differences in positive rate of bacteria culture,SO pressure increase and BA between the normal basal SO pressure group and elevated basal pressure group.In the latter group,negative correlation was observed between SO pressure and BA.The BA value [median(quartile range)] in patients with common bile duct ≥ 15 mm [4270 (12 337)U/L] was significantly higher than that in patients with common bile duct ＜ 15 mm [279.5 (1370) U/L].Furthermore,significant difference in both the proportion of elevated BA patients (83.3％ vs.59.0％) (P ＜0.05) and the positive rate of bacteria culture (75.0％ vs.33.3％) was seen between the intact papilla patients in the former two groups and those in EST group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion There was no direct correlation between the elevated basal SO pressure and PBR,but marked increase in diameter of common bile duct can lead to a rise in BA.Moreover,although EST can bring about PBR and bile bacterial infection,it may facilitate the outflow of the refluent pancreatic juice by relieving cholestasis.

Objective To investigate the value of biliary tumor markers for differential diagnosis of the benign and malignant biliary tract diseases.Methods Tumor markers (CA19-9,CEA and CA242) examination and bacterial culture were performed in a total of 160 patients,who underwent therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for biliary diseases.Resuts There were significant differences between malignant group and benign group in bile and serum in the level of CA19-9,CEA and CA242 (P ＜0.05) ; Cut-off value,according to ROC curve,was 239 ku/l in CA19-9,40 ng/ml in CEA and 60 ku/ml in CA242,respectively.There were significant differences between the bile marker and the serum marker in sensitivity,accuracy,negative predicative value of CEA (P ＜ 0.05).No significant differences was found in specificity between the serum group and the bile group.There were significant differences in bile CA19-9 level between cholangiocarcinoma,pancreatic cancer,duodenal papilla carcinoma with carcinoma metastasizing to bile duct,and hepatocellular carcinoma (P ＜ 0.05).Both in benign group and malignant group,there were significant differences in CA19-9 level between infectious bile and noninfectious bile (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The level of CA19-9,CEA and CA242 in bile can be applied to differentiate benign and malignant biliary diseases.The bile tumor markers do not have advantage over serum tumor markers in specificity for diagnosis.Bile bacterial infection can result in the elevation of bile CA19-9 while it does not have impact on differential diagnosis.

Objective To explore the impact of pancreatobiliary reflux (PBR) in normal pancreatobiliary junction on gallbladder.Methods A total of 54 patients receiving cholecystectomy for gallbladder diseases underwent ultrasonography to evaluate the thickness of gallbladder wall,inner layer and gallbladder wall blood flow before operation.The bile juice was sampled during ERCP in 45 patients with common bile duct stone and during cholecystectomy in 9 patients to detect amylase level.All patients with normal pancreatobiliary junction enrolled in the study were assigned into PBR group (n =24) and controlled group (n =30) according to their bile amylase level.Resected gallbladder specimens were examined histopathologically and then tested for expression of COX2,Ki-67 and p53 immunohistochemically.Results PBR group included 20 cases of cholelithiasis and 4 gallbladder polyp,among which 23 were occult PBR (OPBR) and 1 high confluence of pancreatobiliary ducts (HCPBD),which was similar to pancreatobiliary maljunction (PBM) pathologically.The control group recruited 28 cases of cholelithiasis and 2 gallbladder polyp.There were no differences in frequency of inflammation,hyperplasia,metaplasia or expression of p53 between the two groups (p ＞ 0.05),while higher presence of dysplasia and higher expression of COX2 and Ki-67 were seen in PBR group (p ＜ 0.05).Conclusion In patients with OPBR,although hyperplasia and metaplasia in gallbladder epithelium were similar to those induced by cholelithiasis,dysplasia and active proliferation might relate to progress to malignancy.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of endovascular embolization in treating spinal dural arteriovenous fistulae, and to discuss its imaging manifestations. Methods A total of 7 patients with spinal dural arteriovenous fistulae were included in this study. Endovascular embolization was carried out in all the 7 patients. The clinical data, including epidemiology, spinal MRI and DSA manifestations, therapeutic method and follow-up findings, were retrospectively analyzed. Results Abnormal MRI manifestations of spinal cord were demonstrated in all 7 patients. After the diagnosis was confirmed by DSA, endovascular embolization was carried out. All patients were followed up for 6 months, and their clinical symptoms were improved in different degrees. N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) glue was used as embolization agent in 4 cases, and no recurrence was observed in them. Onyx liquid glue was used in 3 patients, and in one of them the arteriovenous fistula recurred. Conclusion For the treatment of spinal dural arteriovenous fistulae, endovascular embolization is effective and safe although further investigation is still needed.
