Objective To investigate clinical characteristic of primary Sjogren's syndrome(pSS) with initial manifestations in the extra-gland organs. Methods Clinical data, including symptoms, laboratory parameters and complications of 85 pSS patients with initial manifestations of extra-gland organs hospitalized at the People's Hospital of Peking University during 2003 to 2006 were collected and analyzed retrospectively, as compared to those of pSS with xerophthalmia or xerostomia as initial ones. Results Mean time interval from onset to diagnosis in these patients with initial manifestations involved in the extra-gland organs was 94.5 months, higher than that in those with xerophthalmia or xerostomia as initial ones. Arthritis was manifested initially in 38 of the 85 patients (44.7 percent), peripheral leukopenia in 16 (18.8 percent), thrombocytopenia in nine (10.6 percent) and abnormal liver function in 13 (15.3 percent), respectively. Percentage of serum positive autoantibedies was higher in the patients with initial manifestation of the extra-gland organs than that in those with xerophthalmia or xerostomia as initial ones. Conclusions Initial manifestation of primary Sjogren's syndrome varies, and some patients can be initially involved in their extra-gland organs, with more proportion of arthritis than of other symptoms, and xerophthalmia or xerestomia could appear in them during the course of disease. And, xerophthalmia or xerostomia would not appear even as pSS was diagnosed in some other pSS patients. More attention should be paid to these clinical characteristics mentioned above in practice to avoid misdiagnosis.

Objective To examine the dissimulation in memory test by event-related potentials (ERP).Methods Recording the ERP of 20 students in the choosing tasks according to Binomial Forced-Choice Digit Memory Test (BFMDT) in three situations including reality,dissimulation and forced wrong choose. Results The reaction time was lengthened gradually by the situation of reality ( 681 ± 21 ) ms, dissimulation ( 741 ± 25 ) ms and forced wrong choose( 946 ± 31 ) ms (F= 115.73, P = 0.000). The main components in ERP waveforms, N2 ( 180 ~184 ms) and P2 ( 214 ~ 243 ms) had higher amplitudes in situations of dissimulation and forced wrong choose than that of reality. The amplitude of N2 showed significant difference in three groups(F=6. 896, P<0.01 ). The amplitudes were increased gradually by the situation with reality( -0.376 ± 0.58 )μV, dissimulation( 0. 86 ± 0.71 )μV and forced wrong choose( 1.77 ±0.82)μV. Conclusion ERP may be an electrophysiological index of the intention of dissimulation in memory test.

Objective To investigate the influence of Chinese medicine ( CM) treatment on life span of middle-late primary hepatic carcinoma (PHC) patients. Results A multicenter retrospective cohort study was carried out in 489 PHC patients at the stages of Ⅱb, Ⅲa and Ⅲb collected from 15 domestic hospitals. With CM treatment as the exposure factor, the enrolled patients were divided into CM group, western medicine (WM) group and the CM-WM combination group. The main outcomes included median survival time (MST) and survival rate, and the effects of CM treatment and minimally invasive therapy on MST were observed. Results Half-a-year survival rate, one-year survival rate and two-year survival rate were 50%, 9%, 1% in CM group, 70%, 30%, 6% in CM-WM combination group, and 50%, 10%, 0% in WM group, respectively. The survival rates in CM-WM combination group differed from those in CM group and WM group (P<0.01), but the differences of survival rates between CM group and WM group were insignificant (P>0.05) . MST at the stages of Ⅱb, Ⅲa, Ⅲb in CM-WM group was obviously prolonged as compared with the other two groups (P<0.01), and MST at the stages of Ⅲa, Ⅲb in CM group was also obviously prolonged as compared with WM group (P<0.05) . The difference of MST at the stage of Ⅱb was insignificant between CM group and WM group ( P>0.05) . CM treatment and minimally invasive therapy were effective on prolonging the survival time of PHC patients ( P<0.01) . The results of COX regressionanalysis showed that Karnofsky scores, CM treatment and minimally invasive therapy were the preventive factors for the prognosis. Conclusion CM-WM combination group has the best long -term therapeutic effect. CM -WM combination treatment is effective on increasing MST and long-term survival rate, in particular for PHC patients at the stages ofⅡb, Ⅲa and Ⅲb. CM treatment and minimally invasive therapy are helpful for the prolongation of the survival time of PHC patients.
