1.Discussion on Chinese,American and European guidelines for the medicines in the treatment of hypertension
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 1987;0(01):-
The choice of medicines is a key point in the treatment of hypertension.There are hundreds of antihypertensive drugs in China,including Traditional Chinese Medicines(TCM),chemical medicines and all kinds of compound preparation.But the rates of treatment and control of hypertension in China are very low,the situation of hypertension management in China is critical.In this article we compared the differences in the drug treatment among Chinese,American and European guidelines for the management of hypertension,and discussed the principles of choosing antihypertensive drugs.Chinese,American and European guidelines all mention that the specific drug classes may differ in some effect or in special groups of patients,so certain compelling indication requires certain antihypertensive drug classes.Three guidelines also emphasize the benefits obtained from the combination therapy and recommend the long-acting drugs or preparations with 24 h efficacy.The main differences among the three guidelines is whether to recommend the firstline drugs.Thiazide-type diuretics are recommended by American guideline(JNC7) in drug treatment for most patients with uncomplicated hypertension.But the European and Chinese guidelines do not recommend the first-line drugs,and the major classes of antihypertensive agents are suitable for the initiation and maintenance of therapy.Traditional Chinese medicines are invaluable resource of China,all kinds of antihypertensive TCM are widely used in the clinical,but owing to the deficiency of the high-quality evidence for TCM,the part of TCM is not included in the 2004 Chinese guideline for the management of hypertension.The choice of antihypertensive drugs is determined by its efficacy and safety.When safety and efficacy are equal,the lowest cost drug should be preferred.For the majority of patients without a compelling indication for another class of drug,a low dose of thiazides diuretic should be considered as the first choice in China.2004 Chinese guideline for the management of hypertension is based on many scientific evidences,and its publication is very important for the prevention and cure of hypertension in China.Nowadays,we must strengthen the dissemination and implementation of guideline,promote the rational use of antihypertensive drugs and improve the control rate of hypertensive in China.

Cornea is the major refractive components of the eye. As a viscoelastic tissue, cornea exhibits complicated biomechanical properties: non - linear elasticity, anisotropy and viscoelasticity. The biomechanical properties play an important role in keeping the normal structureand function. Changes in biomechanical properties are always earlier than the clinical symptoms. So quantitative measurement of the biomechanical properties benefits the early diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Different methods to measure the biomechanical properties of cornea were reviewed in detail, including classic ex vivo destructive tests, commercially available in vivo measuring methods and other emerging methods with the potential for clinical application but not validated for in vivo measurement. The operating principles, advantages as well as limitations of these methods were also described.

Objective:To evaluate the role of esophagogastric junction contractile index (EGJ-CI) in distinguishing patients with refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (RGERD) from functional heartburn (FH).Methods:From March 2014 to January 2018, 82 patients with proton pump inhibitor (PPI) refractory heartburn and/or regurgitation, who visited the Outpatient Department of Gastroenterology at The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University were enrolled, among them 50 patients with RGERD (RGERD group) and 32 patients with FH (FH group). EGJ-CI of RGERD group and FH group were compared. The sensitivity and specificity of EGJ-CI to distinguish RGERD from FH patients. The correlation between EGJ-CI and high resolution esophageal manometry parameters, baseline impedance level and 24 h impedance-pH monitoring parameters were analyzed. Mann-Whitney U test, receiver operator characteristic curve analysis and Spearman correlation analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results:The EGJ-CI of RGERD group was lower than that of FH group (25.8 mmHg·cm (14.1 mmHg·cm, 35.9 mmHg·cm)(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs. 39.2 mmHg·cm (23.0 mmHg·cm, 60.8 mmHg·cm)), and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-2.833, P=0.005). When the cut-off value of EGJ-CI was 35.8 mmHg·cm, the sensitivity and specificity to distinguish RGERD from FH were 76.0% and 62.5%, respectively; area under the curve was 0.69 (95% CI 0.57 to 0.81). EGJ-CI was positively correlated with lower sphincter resting pressure, integrated relaxation pressure, distal contractile integral, distal esophageal pressure, and mean nocturnal baseline impedance ( r=0.812, 0.631, 0.451, 0.490 and 0.401, all P<0.01). EGJ-CI was negatively correlated with DeMeester score, acid exposure time, total reflux episodes, acid reflux episodes, long reflux episodes and longest reflux time ( r=-0.363, -0.372, -0.346, -0.318, -0.300 and -0.291, all P<0.01). Conclusions:EGJ-CI can help to distinguish patients with FH from RGERD.
