Objective To compare the therapeutic effect of endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) and β-blockers plus isosorbide mononitrate (ISMN) in prevention of esophageal varieeal re-bleeding. Methods The randomized clinical trials (RCTs) on EVL and β-blockers plus ISMN for the prevention of esophageal varieeal re-bleeding were searched, and only the results from those with Jadad score higher than 3 were eval-uated with RevMan 4. 2 software for odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%C1). Analysis of sensitivity was performed on the quality of the data and publication bias was investigated with funnel plots. Results Four trials matched the criteria were recruited including 504 cases with a follow-up from 8 to 25 months. There was no significant difference in rates of re-bleeding (OR =0. 93, 95% CI =0. 41 ～ 2. 11 ; P = 0. 87), re-bleeding due to esophageal varices (OR = 0. 68, 95% CI = 0. 19 ～ 2. 37 ; P = 0. 54), therapy-re-lated adverse effects (OR = 1.12, 95% CI =0. 75 ～ 1.67, P = 0. 57), severe adverse events (OR = 0. 89, 95% CI =0. 47 ～ 1.67, P = 0. 71), bleeding-related mortality (OR = 2. 11, 95% CI = 0. 88 ～ 5.08, P = 0. 10), or overall mortality (OR = 1.46, 95% CI = 0. 95 ～ 2. 24, P = 0. 09) between EVL and β-blockers plus ISMN groups. However, a trend towards lower bleeding-related mortality and overall mortality favored drug therapy. There was no heterogeneity found in the outcomes apart from re-bleeding (P = 0. 003) or re-bleeding from esophageal varices (P <0. 0001). The result of sensitivity analysis remained statistically sta-ble. Symmetric funnel plots showed there was no evidence of publication bias. Conclusion EVL and β-blockers plus ISMN show an equivalent efficacy and safety for the prevention of esophageal variceal re-bleed-ing. There is a trend towards lower bleeding-related mortality and overall mortality in drug therapy. But EVL is free from drug-related side effects, and its adverse events are similar to those of drug therapy. Thus, either of the two approaches can be used as the first choice for prophylaxis of re-bleeding of esophageal varices.

Objective To evaluate the possible association between depression and cellular immunologic status in patients with condyloma acuminatum (CA). Method Depression was assessed with the Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) and the activity of natural killer (NK) cells, the interleukin-2 (IL-2) produced by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were measured in 60 patients with CA. Results The SDS scores in patients with CA were significantly higher than those in the controls (P 3 months) were significantly higher than those in patients with short duration (≤3 months) (P

The neonatal period is important for the dramatic increment as well as function improvement of islet β-cell.β-cell mass augmentation is primarily regulated by neogenesis,replication,and apoptosis.The mechanisms involve cell cycle related proteins and mitosis-promoting signaling pathways.This remodeling period has far-reaching effects on the body in adapting to the metabolic needs and regulating glucose homeostasis later in life.

Objective To investigate the relationship between auxotypes,antibiotic resistance and plasmid of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Methods 83 isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae from Chongqing during the period from January 1994 to November 1995 were examined.Results Eight auxotypes were detected in 83 strains. The prevalent auxotypes were proline requiring strains (51.8%) and nonrequiring (18.1%). The agar dilution method was performed to detect the susceptibility of 83 isolates to pencillin,tetracycline and spectinomycin, the results indicated that 15.6% of strains was penicillin resistant,70% was tetracycline resistant, 1.2% was spectinomycin resistant. Plasmid profile of 44 isolates,which was tested by rapid alkaline extraction method, showed that 70% of the strains carried 24.5 Md conjugative plasmid, 80% carried 2.6Md cryptic plasmid, 66% carried both 24.5Md and 2.6Md plasmids, and no plasmid was found in 16% of the strains. In Pro - strains both penicillin resistant strains and 24.5Md plasmid carrying strains were more common than other auxotypes (P

Objective To report a pedigree of generalized atrophic benign epidermolysis bullosa (GABEB),a special type of junctional epidermolysis bullosa(JEB). This is the first case report in China. Methods The clinical, histologic, electron microscopic, and immunofluorescence changes of the disease were evaluated. Results Besides the symptom of inherited epidermolysis bullosa, the patient had special clinical manifestations such as atrophic alopecia and dental dysplasia. The disease was inherited in an autosomal recessive mode in this pedigree. Electron－ microscopy found the fissure in lamina lucida, accompaning with dysplasia and sparse hemidesmosome. Immunofluorescence study did not show BPAg2 in the basement membrane zone, indicating that mutation in the gene encoding BPAg2 leading to the disease in this family. Conclusions The case is diagnosed as GABEB, a special type of JEB. Although GABEB has its characteristic, clinical manifestations, electron microscopy and immunofluorescence study are important for confirmative diagnosis and classification, and will guide the study of mutation detection.

Objective To explore the application of bilevel non-invasive mechanical ventilation in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) with respiratory failure.Methods 126 COPD patients with type Ⅱ respiratory failure were selected and divided into control group and research group,63 cases in each group.The control group received regular treatment,and the research group received bilevel non-invasive mechanical ventilation on the basis of regular treatment.,The results of blood gas analysis,respiratory frequency(RR),heart rate(HR) and expiratory flow(PEF) were observed and compared between the two groups.Results The indicators of pH,PaCO2,PaO2 in the research group after treatment were (7.41±0.08),(51.26±12.13)mmHg,(77.28±15.34)mmHg,which in the control group were (7.26±0.07),(67.21±13.05)mmHg,(69.26±14.31)mmHg,compared with before treatment,pH and PaO2 of the two groups were increased,PaCO2 was decreased after treatment,and the three indicators of the research group were changed significantly better than those of the control group,the differences were statistically significant(t=11.2,7.11,3.03,all P<0.01).After treatment,HR and PR of the two groups were decreased,PEF was increased.The three indicators of the research group were also changed significantly better than those of the control group,the differences were statistically significant(t=3.13,8.58,5.45,all P<0.01).Conclusion Bilevel non-invasive mechanical ventilation in the treatment of COPD with respiratory failure has remarkable clinical effects,can significantly improve the patients' blood gas analysis index,HR,RR and PEF,and it is worthy of clinical application.

Objective:To invetigate the use of targeted anticancer drugs in our hospital during 2011-2013 to provide reference for the clinical rational drug use. Methods:The utilization of anti-tumor molecular targeted drugs in our hospital during 2011-2013 was retrospectively analyzed in respect of consumption sum, DDDs and DDC. Results:The proportion of consmption sum of anti-tumor mo-lecular targeted drugs in the total consumption sum was increased year by year, and that in 2012 and 2013 was over 60%. Protease ki-nase inhibitors accounted for 41. 29%-73. 41% in the consumption sum of anti-tumor molecular targeted drugs; monoclonal antibody accounted for 19. 40%-30. 88%; the other drugs accounted for 7. 19%-27. 83%. The consumption sum and the number of receiving medication patients of rituxan and cetuximab were not synchronized well, and the patients were born the higher cost. Conclusion:The use of anti-tumor molecular targeted drugs in our hospital is increased year by year, and the oral administration of anti-tumor molecular targeted drugs is with especially wide application.
