Objective To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of Rome Ⅲ criteria in diagnosis of functional dyspepsia (FD) and assess its value in differentiate FD from other organic diseases in upper gastrointestinal tract. Methods Four thousand nine hundred and sixty-two patients, who underwent gastroscopy from July to August 2006 and March to April 2007, were consecutively enrolled and interviewed face to face with a standard questionnaire. The patients who were diagnosed as FD were according to Rome Ⅲ criteria, and those who were diagnosed as upper gastrointestinal diseases, such as chronic erosive gastritis (CEG), gastric ulcer (GU), duodenal ulcer (DU) and gastric carcinoma (GC), were done by gastroscopy and pathology. The differences of clinical characteristics among these diseases were analyzed. Results The FD patients accounted for 7.58% (376/4962) with female in predominant (P = 0.000). The patient with CEG, GU, DU or GC accounted for 29.99% (1488/4962), 1.89% (94/4962),4.25% (211/4962) or 4.57% (227/4962), respectively, all with male in predominant (P<0.05). Further analysis indicated that the age of onset between patients with FD and DU was no difference, but was younger than those with other three diseases (P<0.05). The incidence of early satiation and postprandial in FD patients were higher than those in other patients (P<0.05). The incidence of belching, nausea and vomiting showed no difference among these patients(P>0.05). According to Rome Ⅲ criteria, the symptoms of epigastric pain, early satiation, postprandial fullness and epigastric burning had higher sensitivity and specificity (except epigastric burning)in diagnosing FD (P<0.05), with highest Youden index in epigastric pain (0.42) and postprandial fullness (0.46). Conclusion Rome Ⅲ criteria has high specificity and sensitivity in diagnosing FD, and also has an important value in differentiate FD from other organic diseases.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of Shugan granule in the adjunctive treatment of melas-ma with irregular menstruation. METHODS:140 cases of melasma with irregular menstruation were divided into observation group and control group according to random number table method,with 70 cases in each group. Control group was given vitamin C,vi-tamin E and compound retinoic acid and other routine medicines;observation group was additionally given Shugan granule 10 g, bid. A treatment course lasted for 21 d,and both groups received 2 courses of treatment. The area of melasma,irregular menstrua-tion integral,clinical efficacy of melasma and irregular menstruation were observed in 2 groups,and the occurrence of ADR was re-corded. RESULTS:There was no statistical significance in the area of melasma and irregular menstruation integral between 2 groups before treatment (P>0.05);after treatment,the area of melasma decreased significantly in 2 groups,and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group;irregular menstruation integral decreased significantly,and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Total effective rates of melasma and ir-regular menstruation were 61.86% and 61.43%, which were significantly higher than those of control group (45.71%and 44.29%),with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Shugan granule shows significant therapeutic efficacy in adjunctive treatment of melasma with irregu-lar menstruation,and can decrease the area of melasma and improve irregular menstruation significantly.

Background: Integrative traditional Chinese and western medicine may be a new approach to improve the eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori (Hp).Aims: To compare the efficacy and safety of Weifuchun tablet versus bismuth combined with standard triple regimen as the first-line therapy of Hp infection.Methods: A total of 141 patients with Hp infection and na(i)ve to treatment were randomly assigned into 3 groups receiving a 14-day eradication therapy.In standard triple therapy group, esomeprazole, amoxicillin and clarithromycin were given twice a day;while in Weifuchun group and bismuth group, Weifuchun tablet and bismuth potassium citrate were added, respectively, to the standard triple therapy.Hp eradication was assessed by 13C-urea breath test at least 6 weeks after the end of treatment.Hp isolates were tested for resistance to antibiotics.Results: One hundred and twenty-eight patients completed the study.Hp eradication rates in Weifuchun group, bismuth group and standard triple therapy group were 83.7%, 91.8% and 79.1%, respectively by ITT analysis and 88.4%, 97.8% and 84.6%, respectively by PP analysis.The eradication rate of Weifuchun group was lower than that of bismuth group and higher than that of standard triple therapy group, but the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05).Only PP eradication rate of bismuth group was significantly higher than that of standard triple therapy group (P<0.05).The resistant rates of Hp to clarithromycin, amoxicillin and metronidazole were 33.3%, 2.9% and 70.5%, respectively.For eradication of clarithromycin resistant strains, bismuth group was superior to Weifuchun group and standard triple therapy group (100% vs.60.0% and 66.7%, P all <0.05).All three eradication regimens showed good compliance, and no significant difference in incidence of adverse events was found between the three regimens (P>0.05).Conclusions: Weifuchun tablet combined with standard triple regimen is safe and effective for use as first-line treatment for Hp infection, however, the eradication rate is relatively low in cases infected with clarithromycin resistant strains.Bismuth combined with standard triple regimen is a good alternative in areas with high clarithromycin resistance and regions where tetracycline is unavailable.

Objective: To analyze the characteristics of imported coronavirus disease 2019 ( COVID-19 ) cases from abroad to Zhejiang Province,so as to provide basis for improving the prevention and control of COVID-19 imported epidemic. Methods: The imported COVID-19 cases reported by Zhejiang Province from September 1, 2020 to January 28, 2021 were extracted from the National Diseases Prevention and Control Information System.The case information were checked with the field epidemiological investigation reports. A descriptive analysis was adopted for the epidemiological characteristics of the imported COVID-19 cases,including time,spatial and population distribution,import source, etc. Results: Zhejiang Province reported 136 cases of COVID-19 from abroad from September 1, 2020 to January 28, 2021, with 38 confirmed cases ( 27.94% ) and 98 asymptomatic cases ( 72.06% ). No deaths and related local cases were reported. A total of 10 confirmed cases and 58 asymptomatic cases were positive for nucleic acid tests at the port of entry, 7 cases were positive after the medical observation period, and the other cases were positive during the medical observation period. Cases were reported in each month. The age of the cases was mainly 20 to 39 years old, accounting for 61.03% (83 cases). The occupations were mainly business services, accounting for 33.09% ( 45 cases ). The 136 imported cases came from 32 countries, among which 26 cases came from Philippines. Most of the imported cases enter China through Hangzhou, Ningbo and Shanghai. Conclusions The imported epidemic situation in Zhejiang Province is sporadic, with large proportion of asymptomatic infections. The imported cases are mainly business service providers and come from Philippines. Therefore, measures such as nucleic acid tests and isolation of entry personnel at ports should be strengthened to prevent the spread of the local epidemic caused by imported cases.

Objective To study the effect of simvastatin on the mouse model of sclerotic skin. Methods A total of 44 mice were divided into two groups, i.e., early administration group (n=24) and post-induction administration group (n=20), and the former was classified into three subgroups, including negative group, model group and simvastatin-treated group, and the latter into two groups, namely blank control group, simvastatin-treated group. The mouse model of sclerotic skin was established by local injec-tions of bleomycin in the back of BALB/c mice. Simvastatin was administered by gavage at a dose of 5 μg per kilogram body weight per day for 4 weeks to mice at the same time when bleomycin was injected in the early group or after 4-week bleomycin injection in the post-induction group. Skin sections were prepared 24 hours after the last administration of simvastatin for histopathological examination and measurement of derma l thickness with HE staining, determination of hydroxyproline content via colorimetry, and mRNA expression of procollagen α1 (Ⅰ) by RT-PCR. Results In the early administration group, a significant increment was observed in the diameter of dermal collagen, skin thickness, and hydroxyproline content in model group compared with the negative control group (all P <0.01), whereas decreased dermal thickness, hydroxyproline content and mRNA expression of procollagen α1(Ⅰ) were noticed in simvastatin-treated group in comparison with the model group (P<0.05, 0.01 and 0.05, respectively). No obvious improvement was achieved in dermal thickness or hydroxyproline content in simvastatin-treated group compared with blank control group (both P0.05), but the mRNA expression of procollagen α1 (Ⅰ) was inhibited in the former group (P<0.05). Conclusion Skin sclerosis is relieved significantly by administration of simvastatin at the induction of scle- rosis but not by that after the induction of sclerotic skin.

Objective To analyze the correlation between polymorphisms at position 4 and 14 in exon 2 of the p73 gene and susceptibility to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection.Methods Tissue specimens were obtained from the lesions of 83 patients with condyloma acuminatum and 11 patients with bowenoid papulosis,and blood samples from all the patients as well as 150 health checkup examinees with high risk for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) at STD clinics (negative control group).PCR was performed to detect HPV DNA in lesional tissue specimens,followed by direct sequencing and nucleotide alignment using the BLAST program for the determination of HPV genotypes.To assess polymorphisms at position 4 and 14 in exon 2 of the p73 gene,DNA was extracted from all the blood samples,and the p73 gene was amplified by PCR with the primer shP73 followed by gene sequencing.The association between the polymorphisms and susceptibility to HPV infection was analyzed.Results Of the 83 tissue specimens from patients with condyloma acuminatum,42.2％ (35/83) were positive for HPV 6,and 41.0％ (34/83) for HPV 11.Among the 11 tisssue specimens from bowenoid papulosis lesions,5 were positive for HPV 16,and 3 for HPV 6.The p73 gene was successfully amplified and sequenced from all the patients with condyloma acuminatum or bowenoid papulosis as well as from 132 out of 150 health checkup examinees.There were three genotypes at position 4 and 14 in exon 2 of the p73 gene,including A4T14/G4C14,A4T14/A4T14,G4C14/G4C14,of which,A4T14/A4T14 was associated with a higher risk for condyloma acuminatum (OR 4.89,95％ CI 1.50-15.91) as well as bowenoid papulosis (OR 7.11,95％ CI 1.144-44.20),and G4C14/G4C14 with a lower risk for bowenoid papulosis (OR 0.16,95％ CI0.04-0.65),in patients with HPV infection.Conclusions The A4T14 allele in exon 2 of the p73 gene increases the risk for bowenoid papulosis and condyloma acuminatum,but no significant correlation is found between the susceptibility to high-or low-risk HPV infection and polymorphisms at the two positions in the p73 gene.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of interventional therapy with norcantharidin-alginic acid/poly acid anhydride microspheres (N-MS) infusion via hepatic artery on hepatoma in rats. METHODS: N-MS was prepared by emulsion-chemical crosslink technique. Eighty-nine hepatoma-bearing rats were randomly divided into five groups, which were normal saline group, norcantharidin (NCTD) group, blank microsphere (B-MS) group, NCTD-lipiodol group and N-MS group. Normal saline, NCTD, B-MS, NCTD-lipiodol and N-MS were injected via hepatic artery accordingly. After the interventional therapy, eight rats from each group were observed for survival time, and the rest rats were killed on the 8th day after intervention to measure the tumor volume and necrostic degree. The apoptotic index of liver tumor cells was detected by TUNEL staining, and the expression of ki-67 was assayed by immuno-histochemical streptavidin-biotin peroxidase method. RESULTS: The survival time of the rats in the N-MS group was prolonged as compared with those in the other four groups, and the tumor volume of the rats in the N-MS group was smaller than those in the other four groups. The tumor growth rate and the expression level of ki-67 in the N-MS group were both significantly lower than those in the other four groups. The tumor necrotic degree and the apoptotic index in the N-MS group were significantly higher than those in the other four groups. CONCLUSION: Interventional therapy with N-MS could yield preferable therapeutic effects on hepatomas in rats. This anti-tumor efficacy may be associated with microvessel embolization in liver tumor and the sustained releasing of NCTD. Its inhibiting effect on tumor cell proliferation maybe result from decreasing the expression of Ki-67 and inducing the tumor cell apoptosis.
