Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2008;15(6):979-981
Objective To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of four therapeutic regimes in the treatment of pa-tients with initial vulvovaginal eandidiasis. Methods 160 patients who were found for the first time with vulvovagi-hal eandidiasis were divided into four groups randomly: group A is clotrimazole (500rag) vaginal tablets; group B is fluconazole eaptica;group C is clotrimazole vaginal tablets combined with flueonazole;group D is nystatin vaginal ef-fervescent tablets. Date was evaluated using clinic economies co,t-effectiveness analysis. Results Among four groups,the costs for group A,B,C and D were 167.20 yuan, 190.23 yuan,237.43 ynan and 216.40 yuan,respec-tively. The tatol effective rates were 90.88 %, 90.12 %, 91.67 % and 67.10 %, respectively. The cost-effectiveness ratio were 1.84,2.11,2.59 and 3.23, respectively. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratios of group B, C and D vs group A were 32.90,87.78 and 2.07. Conclusion Regime A was superior than the other therapeutic regimes.
2.A prospective study of the relationship between alcohol consumption and outcome of three-year pre-diabetes
Tianjin Medical Journal 2015;(12):1433-1436
Objective To investigate the associations of alcohol consumption with the outcome of three-year pre-dia?betes. Methods The objects of this study were selected from the epidemiological study of cancer risk of Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Luzhou area. A total of 1 125 cases with pre-diabetes were selected from the base?line survey. Patients divided into four groups including non-alcohol drinking group, small alcohol drinking group, moderate alcohol drinking group, and large alcohol drinking group. Patients also were divided into two groups according to body mass index (BMI, more than 24 kg/m2). The patients were followed up for three years. The incidence rates of diabetes mellitus were compared between different drinking groups and different BMI groups. Results A total of 1 116 cases were completed the follow-up , 9 cases were lost to follow-up. The incidence rates of DM were 18.81%, 8.80%, 16.51%and 26.53%for non-al?cohol drinking group, small alcohol drinking group, moderate alcohol drinking group, and large alcohol drinking group. Cox proportional hazard regression analysis showed that the relative risk ratios and 95%CI of the gender, age, BMI, calorie, base?line blood glucose were 0.49 (0.31-0.79), 1.15 (0.69-1.92) and 1.95 (1.25-3.04) for small alcohol drinking group, moderate alcohol drinking group, and large alcohol drinking group. In the group of BMI<24 kg/m2,the relative risks and 95%CI were 0.40 (0.20-0.80),0.77 (0.30-1.97) and 1.10 (0.46-2.64) for small alcohol drinking group, moderate alcohol drinking group, and large alcohol drinking group. In the group of BMI≥24 kg/m2, the relative risks and 95%CI were 0.62 (0.33-1.66),1.49 (0.80-2.80) and 2.64 (1.55-4.47). Conclusion Small amount of alcohol drinking can reduce the incidence of DM in predia?betes people with BMI<24 kg/m2. Large amount of alcohol drinking is the risk factor of incidence of DM in people with BMI≥24 kg/m2.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography(CEUS) in evaluating treatment response of hepatocellular carcinoma after interventional therapy. Methods One hundred and three patients with 136 lesions of hepatocellular carcinoma confirmed by pathology were examined by common color ultrasound (US), contrast-enhanced CT, CEUS and DSA pre- and post-interventional treatment respectively. Results The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of CEUS for focus judgment after interventional therapy were 95.8%, 95.6% and 98. 5% respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of US in detecting tumor deactivation and residue were 92.3% ,77.4% and 83.1% respectively. CEUS were highly consistent with the results of enhanced CT/DSA (Kappa = 0.93) and significantly higher than those of US (Kappa = 0.66). Conclusions CEUS is useful to monitor the efficacy and guide treatment after interventional therapy.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy ofDuhuo Jisheng Decoction in treating liver and kidney deficiency syndrome of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) by ultrasound.Methods A total of 120 cases of KOA patients with liver and kidney deficiency syndrome were randomly divided into two groups (each contains 60 cases). Control group took hydrochloric acid glucosamine capsules, while treatment group tookDuhuo Jisheng Decoction additionally for 8 weeks. ESR, CRP, WOMAC, joint swelling scores, and TCM syndrome scores of the two groups were determined, and the sonographic characteristics of knee-joint effusion in patellar fabricius, synovial membrane, cartilage and bone erosions were compared before and after treatment.Results There were significant differences in ESR, CRP, WOMAC, joint swelling scores, and TCM syndrome scores between before and after treatment in both groups (P<0.05,P<0.01). The knee-joint synovial membrane got thinner after therapy in osteoarthritis patients, and the effusion in knee-joint also decreased. The vessel flow signals in knee-joint synovial membrane of osteoarthritis decreased after drug therapy (P<0.05,P<0.01).ConclusionDuhuo Jisheng Decoction can improve clinical efficacy of KOA with liver and kidney deficiency syndrome. Ultrasound can clearly observe the changes of effusion in patellar fabricius, and synovial membrane, and can provide good imaging assessment for the drug therapy for KOA patients.

Objective:To explore the expression of IL-22 in the patients with rheumatoid arthritis,and to define the clinical sig-nificance of IL-22 cells for RA. Methods: A total of 50 RA patients, 15 OA patients and 15 healthy controls were enrolled. The proportion of Th22 cells in peripheral blood and synovial fluid( SF) of RA patients was detected by flow cytometry;the levels of IL-22 in serum and synovial fluid of RA patients were detected by ELISA. The clinical parameters of disease activity were assessed including ESR,RF,CRP,DAS28,anti CCP and the degree of bone erosions determined by X-rays. Pearson correlation analysis,t test and Kruskal-Wallis H test were used for statistical analysis. Results:The proportion of Th22 cells in RA patients was higher than that of OA patients (t=2. 290 ,P=0. 021) and healthy controls(t=2. 524,P=0. 015). IL-22 levels in RA patients were higher than that of OA patients (t=2. 560,P=0. 014) and healthy controls(t=2. 768,P=0. 009). IL-22 in the RF positive group were higher than that of RF negative group(t=2. 322,P=0. 035). IL-22 in the anti-CCP antibody positive group were higher than that of anti-CCP antibody negative group (t=2. 504,P=0. 015). The levels of IL-22 were correlated positively with ESR,RF,DAS28(r=0. 312,0. 314,0. 332,P<0. 05). The levels of IL-22 were increased gradually along with the aggravation of bone erosions. There were statistical significant difference among different X-ray stagings(H=9. 14,χ20.05(3)=7. 81,H> χ20.05(3),P<0. 05). Serum IL-22 levels in the RA patients with joint effusion were higher than that of without(t=2. 587,P=0. 012). The levels of IL-22 in SF were higher than that in serum(t=2. 668,P=0. 011),and had no correlation with the proportion of Th22 cells in SF. Conclusion: The expression of IL-22 in serum and joint effusion of RA patients increase. The level of IL-22 may be useful marker for assessment of disease activity and finding of bone erosions. Therapeutic targeting of IL-22 may be valuable for the intervention of RA.
