Objective:To investigate the characteristics of three-dimensional high resolution anorectal manometry and the effect of biological feedback therapy on the improvement of clinical symptoms in very elderly patients with chronic functional constipation.Methods:A total of 68 cases with chronic functional constipation were divided into very elderly group(≥80 years old, n=36)and the elderly group(60-79 years old, n=32)in the retrospective analysis.Patients underwent the three-dimensional high resolution anorectal manometry before and after biological feedback therapy, and the related parameters and scores of constipation symptoms before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.Results:The results of 3D high-resolution anorectal manometry showed that the anus relaxation rate in the simulated defecation test was lower and the bowel threshold in the rectal sensory threshold test was higher in the very elderly group than in the elderly group(2.44±33.81% vs.16.34±16.99%, 103.44±42.01 ml vs.77.22±41.85 ml, t=-2.047 and 2.655, P=0.049 and 0.012). In the very elderly group, the post-biological feedback therapy versus pre-biological feedback therapy showed that anal residual pressure during simulated defecation was decreased, the absolute value of negative anorectal pressure difference was reduced and the anal relaxation rate was increased [57.50±18.88 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs.64.84±25.82 mmHg, -29.64±15.98 mmHg vs.-39.47±19.45 mmHg, 10.53±29.35% vs.2.44±33.81%, t=3.342, -4.902 and -3.209, P=0.002, 0.000 and 0.003]. The scores of clinical symptom scale showed that there was no significant difference in the effective rate between the very elderly and elderly groups(66.67% or 24/36 vs.71.88% or 23/32, χ2=0.760, P=0.860). Conclusions:The elderly functional constipation patients with defecation disorder often have rectal propulsive insufficiency and dyscoordination of pelvic floor muscle contraction.The main cause of defecation disorder in very elderly patients is the decrease of anal relaxation rate during simulated defecation.Biological feedback therapy can improve the symptoms of defecation disorder in very elderly patients by reducing the anal residual pressure during simulated defecation, increasing the anal relaxation rate and reducing the absolute value of negative anorectal pressure difference.

ObjectiveTo discuss the expression of tumor shift suppressor gene KAI1,matrix metal proteinase 9 (MMP-9) in endometriosis sickness in dystopia internal membrane and its significance.MethodsIn 53 patients and 30 healthy controls,the expression of KAI1,MMP-9 in the endometriosis was detected with immunohistochemistry SP method,and the relationship was analyzed.ResultsKAI1 had low expression in EMS patients,while MMP-9 was highly expressed.In the control group,KAI1 was highly expressed while MMP-9 lowly expressed,and the differences between two groups were remarkably significant (P ＜0.05).KAI1 and the MMP-9 expression showed negative correlation between two groups.Conclusions KAI1 and MMP-9 was negatively expressed in EMS,which may play a role in the EMS prognosis.KAI1 and MMP-9 may be served as the prognosis and monitor markers for EMS.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the operative reduction techniques and clinical results of surgical treatment of type C1 (AO/ASIF) acetabular fracture by posteroproximal-posteroanterior sequential reduction and internal fixation.

METHODSFrom August 2004 to January 2012, 13 patients with type C1 (AO/ASIF) acetabular fracture were treated by posteroproximal-posteroanterior sequential reduction and internal fixation. Of them, 8 cases were male and 5 cases were female with an average age of 42 years years old (ranged, 18 to 64). Pelvis 3-dimentional CT reconstruction were used to confirmed the classification of fracture, and the operation were performed during from 5 to 20 days with an average of 9.5 days. Operation time, blood loss, complications and reduction were recorded and evaluated. The function of hip joint were accessed at the final follow-up.

RESULTSThe operation time ranged from 190 to 290 min with an average of 240 min. The mean blood loss was 1 800 ml (ranged, 1 300 to 3 000 ml). One case had superficial infection and healed after 3 weeks. According to Matta reduction criteria, 8 cases obtained anatomical reduction, 4 cases got satisfied results and 1 cases got unsatisfied results. Eleven cases were followed up with an average of (24.0 +/- 8.0) months, and 2 cases were lost to follow-up. According to revised Mede d'Aubingne and Postel evaluation system, 7 cases got excellent results, 2 good, 1 moderate and 1 poor.

CONCLUSIONPosteroproximal-posteroanterior sequential reduction and internal fixation for the treatment of type C1 (AO/ASIF) acetabular fracture can achieve satisfied surgical proces and operation quality.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of bibliometric analysis of research papers on human metapneumovirus based on Web of Science database.Methods:The human metapneumovirus (HMPV) causes a serious disease burden worldwide. This article used bibliometric analysis method to search for papers using the keyword " metapneumovirus" , and searched for HMPV papers published from 2001 to 2023 in the Web of Science database. Statistical analysis of the distribution of papers on HMPV by year, country, journal, research institution, author, etc., in order to understand the current research status and development trends of HMPV in the international community.Results:A total of 3 282 papers were retrieved, of which 97% were in English. HMPV was first reported in 2001, and since then, research papers have been increasing year by year. The United States has the highest number of published papers, with China, the United Kingdom, France, and the Netherlands ranked 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th respectively. The field of virology-general had the highest number of papers. In terms of research institution distribution, Vanderbilt University in the United States has published 135 papers, ranked the first. The journal which had the highest number of published papers was JOURNAL OF MEDICAL VIROLOGY, with a total of 143 papers. The author Williams JV of Vanderbilt University in the United States has published 92 papers, indicating its high international status in the field of HMPV research.Conclusions:Among the retrieved HMPV related papers, research institutions and universities in European and American countries have published more papers.

Herpes simplex virus encephalitis (HSE) is a common form of viral encephalitis, often with a single-phase course. A case of HSE with abnormal mental behavior as the main manifestation, admitted in Peking University Shenzhen Hospital in Octorber 2020, which improved after sufficient antiviral treatment was reported. After 2 months, abnormal mental behavior with memory deterioration recurred. It was considered as anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antibody combined with anti-glutamic decarboxylase antibody double-positive encephalitis, and improved after rituximab treatment. At present, there is no clinical report of such double antibody positive autoimmune encephalitis secondary to HSE. The purpose of this case report is to raise clinician awareness of post-HSE autoimmune encephalitis.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Oryz-Aspergillus enzyme and pancreatin tablets (Combizym^®) in the treatment of postprandial distress syndrome (PDS) in the elderly, compared with gastrointestinal motility drugs. Methods: A prospective randomized controlled trial was designed and registered in the China Clinical Trials Registry (ChiCTR-IPR-16008185). The elderly patients with PDS were randomly divided into three groups, including Mosapride group with Mosapride citrate tablets 5 mg 3 times per day for 2 weeks; Combizym^® group with Combizym tablets 244 mg 3 times per day for 2 weeks; combined treatment group with both drugs and same doses for 2 weeks. The modified Nepean dyspepsia index (NDSI) score, discomfort intensity score and PDS score were calculated on patients before treatment, at the end of first and second week of treatment, as well as 4 weeks after treatment finished, respectively. Adverse effects were evaluated. Results: A total of 323 patients from 16 tertiary hospitals in China were enrolled in this study. Among them, 105 patients were in Mosapride group, 109 in Combizym^® group and 109 in combined treatment group. There were 148 males (45.8%) and 175 females (54.2%) with median age 71.4±9.0 years (60-100 years). Baseline characteristics of three groups were comparable. After treatment, the NDSI scores in three groups all decreased significantly (P<0.001), while they were similar between groups (P>0.05). The discomfort intensity score and PDS score in three groups showed a significant reduction after treatment (P<0.001), especially in the combined treatment group. Compared with Mosapride group, the scores in Combizym^® group decreased significantly after one or two weeks [discomfort intensity score: after one week, 4.0(2.5, 8.0) vs. 6.0(3.0, 10.0); after two weeks, 3.0(0.0, 5.0) vs. 4.0(2.0, 6.0); all P<0.05. PDS score: after one week, 6.0(3.0, 9.0) vs. 7.0(3.5, 10.5); after two weeks, 3.0(0.0, 5.0) vs. 4.0(2.0, 7.0); all P<0.05]. The efficacy rate in all patients after first week of treatment was over 15.0%. The efficacy rates after two weeks were 55.2%, 68.8% and 73.4% in Mosapride group, Combizym^® group and combined treatment group, respectively. After two week treatment, the efficacy rates in Combizym^® group (P=0.041) and combined group (P=0.006) were higher than that of Mosapride group. The recurrence rate of Mosapride group was 9.5%, which was significantly higher than that of Combizym^® group (1.8%, P<0.05) and combined treatment group (1.8%, P<0.05). There were no serious adverse effects in the three groups. Conclusions The efficacy of Oryz-Aspergillus enzyme and pancreatin tablets is comparable with that of Mosapride in elderly PDS patients, with fewer adverse effects and low recurrence rate. Combination regimen indicates better efficacy than that of Oryz-Aspergillus enzyme and pancreatin tablets or Mosapride alone.
