Crohn disease (CD) is a relatively infrequent disease in China. CD and intestinal tuberculosis (IT) are lack of specific clinical manifestations and are generally identified by endoscopic and histological examination. However, it is sometimes difficulty to distinguish them by endoscopy and histology. Their characteristics were investigated to offer more evidences and data for their differential diagnosis. The records of inpatients were reviewed from 1980～2001 in our hospital, all enrolled subjects were verified by endoscopy(or operation) and histology. The characteristics and key points of differential diagnosis of 28 CD cases and 14 IT cases were comparatively analyzed. The results showed that abdominal pain, mass, and hematochezia occurred more significantly in CD than in IT ﹙ P

0 05). No adverse reaction was seen in all patients. Our results suggest that intravenous Pantoloc is a good proton pump inhibitor in patients with duodenal ulcer combined with upper gastrointestinal bleeding, and it is similar to Losec in effectiveness and safety.

Objective To explore a method for development of carbon tetrachloride-induced cirrhotic model in rabbit and establish a portal vein delivery system in this model.Methods Male New Zealand white rabbit was subcutaneously injected carbon tetrachloride twice weekly,and the liver pathology and hepatic hydroxyproline content were examined after 12 weeks of injection.Portal vein catheterization was introduced through the terminal branch of mesostenium vein.The injection end of the catheter was embedded subcutaneously in the abdominal wall of the animal.The portal delivery was implemented by percutaneous puncture of the injection cap.Results After 12 weeks' of carbon tetrachloride administration,the rabbit liver developed typical pseudo lobule,and the liver hydroxyproline content increased 3.5 times compared to normal control.The portal vein delivery system could be maintained as long as 12 weeks.Conclusion A successive method to induce rabbit liver cirrhosis is developed,and a simple and economic animal portal vein delivery system is introduced.

Objective To explore the effects of nurses′ risk perceptions of occupational HIV exposure and the self-efficacy on their attitudes and behavior of self-protection in nursing care. Methods An anonymous survey was conducted in eligible nurses with self-designed questionnaire in three conveniently selected comprehensive hospitals in Wuhan. Structural equation modeling was applied in the data analysis. Results Risk perceptions exerted positive effects on the attitudes of self-protection. The standardized path coefficient was 0.45 (P=0.009). The attitudes of self-protection and the risk perceptions exerted no impact on the behavior of self-protection (P > 0.05).The impacts of the self-efficacy on the attitudes and the behavior of self-protection was positive. The standardized path coefficient was 0.15(P=0.02)and 0.53 (P<0.01), respectively. Conclusions Risk perceptions exerted positive effects on the attitudes of self-protection. But the attitudes of self-protection and the risk perceptions exerted no impact on the behavior of self-protection. Self-efficacy can improve the attitudes of self-protection and enhance the behavior of self-protection.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of Minilase-S on patients with dyspepsia.Methods A randomized,placebo-controlled,double blind and multicenter study was conducted.Two hundred and forty patients with dyspepsia symptoms(anorexia,fullness,abdominal discomfort and distension)were collected according to total symptom scores over 20 with visual analog scales.Each patient was randomly received either Minilase-S(2 capsules t.i.d)or placebo(2 capsules t.i.d)for 2 weeks.The symptoms scores were evaluated at treatment week 1,week 2,and 1 week after discontinued therapy.Results Two hundred and sixteen patients(105 patients in Minilase group and 111 patients in placebo group)finished the study.There was no difference in demographic data,anorexia,fullness,discomfort and distension score and the total symptom score between two groups.However,at treatment week 1,week 2 and 1 week after discontinued therapy,symptoms and total symptom score were significantly decreased in Minilase-S group compared to placebo group(all P value＜0.05).The total effective rates in treatment week 1,week 2 and 1 week after discontinued therapy were 64.76%,77.05%and 66.99%,respectinely,which were higer that those in placebo group(27.93%,37.84% and 29.36%,respectively)(P＜0.05).There was no severe side effects in both Minilase-S and placebo groups.Conclusions Minilase-S can significantly improve symptoms in patients with dyspepsia,which may be as one choice in the management of dyspepsia or in combined therapy.

OBJECTIVE: To study the combined transfection of the siRNA target for Hif-lα and Survivin gene to human NPC CNE-2 cell and its effects on the proliferation and cycle of this cell. METHOD: Combined transfection of the siRNA target for Hif-lα and Survivin gene to human NPC CNE-2 cell, these plasmids were respectively transfected into the same cells. Cell proliferation was detected with MTT assay. The inhibitory effects on target genes were evaluated with RT-PCR and Western Blot at the levels of mRNA and protein, respectively. RESULT: MTT showed that CNE-2 cell proliferation in multi-gene plasmid group was more significantly inhibited than a single gene.
