OBJECTIVE:To investigate clinical efficacy and safety of conjugeted estrogen tablets combined with Salmon calci-tonin acetate injection and Alendronate sodium tablets in the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal. METHODS:148 post-menopausal women with osteoporosis were randomly divided into observation group(78 cases)and control group(70 cases). Con-trol group was given Salmon calcitonin acetate injection hypodermically or intramuscularly,100 IU each time,once a day in first week,every two days in second week,every three days in third week,21 times of consecutive injection as a treatment course;Alendronate sodium tablet,70 mg each time,once a week,3 months as a treatment course. Based on control group,observation group was additionally given conjugeted estrogen tablets,0.625 mg each time,qd,for consecutive 3 weeks,drug withdrawal for one week,and then continued to taking drug,for 3 months in total. Clinical efficacy of 2 groups were observed as well as BGP, bone metabolism index as human collagen type Ⅰ N-terminal peptide (NTX) and ALP,bone density and ADR before and after treatment. RESULTS:After treatment,total effective rate of observation group was 94.87%,which was significantly higher than 78.57% in control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05);BGP,lumbar spine and thigh-bone density of 2 groups were all improved significantly,and the improvement of observation group was more significant than that of control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). NTX and ALP of 2 groups were decreased significantly,and the decrease of observation group was more significant than that of control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). The incidence of ADR was 12.82% in observation group and 8.57% in control group,without statistical significance (P>0.05);various ADR disappeared after drug withdrawal. CONCLUSIONS:Conjugeted estrogen tablets combined with Salmon calcitonin acetate injection and Alendronate sodium tablets can effectively relieve bone pain,regulate bone metabolism,increase bone density and induce slight ADR in postmenopausal with osteoporosis.

ObjectiveTo survey the status of Helicobacter pylori (HP)infection in cholangiocarcinoma,and its relation to clinical and pathological parameters and prognosis. MethodsHP infection in 80 cholangiocarcinoma samples and 30 controls was detected by PCR,in those with positive results the expression of Cag A and its subtypes of Vac A sla,m1 and m2 was further tested by PCR.ResultsChi-square test showed that the detection rate of in HP ( + ) in cholangiocarcinoma group is 71％,higher than 20％ in control group.The positive cases of CagA and VacA sla,m1,m2 in cholangiocarcinoma group was respectively 30,40,5 and 43 cases.HP infection in cholangiocarcinoma was correlated with the location of the tumor(x2 =27.580,P ＜ 0.05 ). MultivariateLogisticanalysisshowedthat cholangiocarcinoma is over 10 times more likely in HP ( + ) patients than HP ( - ) ( OR =10.531 ).Cox regression analyses showed that the infection of HP(HR =8.105,P =0.032),the staging of TNM( Ⅱ/ⅢHR=9.141,P=0.040,Ⅳ HR =29.071,P=0.040) and surgery (HR=9.531,P =0.015) are all independent prognostic factors of cholangiocarcinoma. Life table analyses showed HP infection negatively affects the survival time of cholangiocarcinoma after a surgery ( u =10.074,P =0.002),and the median survival time is 7.25 months shorter than HP( - ) patients. ConclusionsIt is common that HP infection complicating cholangiocarcinoma,usually with the genotype of VacA sla/m2,HP infection is a risk factor for cholangiocarcinoma,and negatively affects oatients survival after surgery.

Background:Intestinal metaplasia(IM)and dysplasia in Barrett’s esophagus(BE)can be detected by endoscopic biopsy combined with pathological examination. Aims:To evaluate the efficacy of acetic acid stain-guided biopsies in detection of IM and dysplasia in BE under standard endoscopy. Methods:One hundred patients found to have columnar-lined esophagus by endoscopy from January 2012 to November 2014 at Shanghai Jing’an District Central Hospital were enrolled. Under standard endoscopy,acetic acid was sprayed and multi-point biopsies were performed in visible abnormal regions. This was followed by four-quadrant biopsies at every 1 to 2 cm of the remaining BE segments. Detection rates of columnar epithelium,IM and dysplasia were compared between acetic acid stain-guided biopsies and four-quadrant biopsies. Results:A total of 96 patients were diagnosed as BE. Detection rates of columnar epithelium by acetic acid stain-guided biopsies and four-quadrant biopsies were 96. 9%(93 / 96)and 90. 6% (87 / 96),respectively,no significant difference was found between the two methods(McNemar test,P = 0. 146),however,consistency of the two methods was poor(κ = 0. 340). A total of 32 patients were diagnosed as BE with IM. Detection rates of IM by acetic acid stain-guided biopsies and four-quadrant biopsies were 84. 4%(27 / 32)and 40. 6%(13 / 32),respectively,difference in detection rate between the two methods was significant(McNemar test,P = 0. 007),and consistency of the two methods was poor(κ =0. 266). Five cases of low-grade dysplasia were detected by acetic acid stain-guided biopsies only. Conclusions:Acetic acid stain-guided biopsies can detect BE with IM and dysplasia better than four-quadrant biopsies.

AIM: To observe the effects of high-dose hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) vaccine on cellular immune response in BALB/C mice. METHODS: The mice were immunilized separately with low-dose and high-dose HBsAg vaccine by intramuscular injection two times. The specific proliferative activities of T lymphocytes were measured by [ 3H]-TdR incorporation assay. IL-2 as well as IFN-? levels in the culture supernatant of T cells and anti-HBs IgG2a lever in sera were detected by enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay. RESULTS: After first vaccination with high-dose HBsAg, the proliferative activities of T cells in the experimental group were significantly stronger, both levels of IL-2 and IFN-? were markedly higher than that in the control group and the percentage of mice to produce serum anti-HBs IgG2a was significantly higher compared to that of mice immunilized by low-dose HBsAg. All data in experimental groups were further increased after second dose of vaccine. CONCLUSION: Vaccination of mice with high-dose HBsAg can induce cellular immune responses tended to Th1(T helper 1 subset) response.

Objective To investigate the incidence of pancreatic cancer-related depression in Guangzhou,China.Methods A multicenter,prospective survey was conducted,50 patients with pancreatic cancer,60 with liver cancer,50 with esophageal cancer,50 with gastric cancer,52 with colorectal cancer were enrolled from 4 hospitals in Guangzhou between June 2007 and June 2009.Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression-24 (HAMD-24) questionnaire was used to assess the degree of depression.Results The incidence of depression in pancreatic cancer patients was 78% (39/50),which was significantly higher than that among liver cancer patients (60% ,36/60),gastric cancer patients (36%,18/50),esophageal cancer patients(24%,12/50),and colorectal cancer patients(19.2%,10/52,P＜0.05 ).Twelve of 50 patients in pancreatic cancer were reported to have severe depression (24%),which was significantly more than that in liver cancer (10%,6/60),gastric cancer (4%,2/50),esophageal and colorectal cancer (0,P ＜0.05).In pancreatic cancer patients,the incidence of depression was significantly higher in patients with advanced stage (94.3%) than that in early stage (46.7%,P＜0.05).Patients who underwent chemotherapy had high incidence of depression(92.3%)than that of patients who underwent operation (62.5%,P＜0.05 ).Conclusions Compared with other cancers of digestive tract,the incidence of pancreatic cancer-related depression was higher,and its degree was more severe than that of other cancers.

Objective To compare the diagnostic value of high frequency ultrasound,mammography and breast blood-oxygen function imaging system in diagnosis of breast masses.Methods The images of 89 breast masses by high frequency ultrasound,mammography and breast blood-oxygen function imaging system were reviewed.The study compared the sensibilities and specificities of the three methods in the masses and analyzed their cause of missed diagnosis.Results The sensitivity of the diagnosis of breast cancer by high frequency ultrasound,mammography and breast blood-oxygen function imaging system were 80.00％,70.00％ and 50.00％,respectively.The specificity of the diagnosis of breast cancer by them were 94.94％,98.73％ and 97.47％,respectively.There were sigmfiacant differences in diagnosis of breast benign lesion among the high frequency ultrasound,mammography and breast blood-oxygen function imaging system.The sensitivity of high frequency ultrasound in detecting fibroadenoma of breast was 98.11％ higher than the other methods.Mammography was insensitive to the benign breast lesions,but its specificity was high.Conclusions High frequency ultrasound,mammography and breast blood-oxygen function imaging system are the highly effective diagnostic tool for breast cancer,but the diagnostic value of mammography and breast blood-oxygen in breast fibroadenoma and in cystic disease of breast aren' t high.Breast blood-oxygen function imaging system can enhance the accuracy of the diagnosis of mammary inflammation.

BACKGROUND: Common complication of traditional joint replacement is hip joint dislocation and large head joint implant can effectively solve this problem. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the preliminary efficacy of large head metal-on-metal implants for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Prospective cohort study. The patients were selected from Department of Joint Surgery, Xinjiang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine between February 2007 and January 2008. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 65 patients (71 hips) undergoing large head metal-on-metal implantation in Xinjiang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were selected, including 21 females and 44 males with an average age of 54.6 years (ranging 19 to 77 years). Of them, there were 28 cases of necrosis of the femoral head, 24 of hip osteoarthritis, 9 of femoral neck fracture and 4 of acetabular dysplasia. METHODS: According to age, sex, cause of disease and preoperative joint function, the patients were divided into traditional prosthesis (n=30, 33 hips, metal-on-polyethylene implant) and large head M-O-M group (n=35, 38 hips, ASR/XL prosthesis, DePuy, Motech, Warsaw, IN, USA). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The pre and postoperative Harris scores for the hip, range of motion, periprosthetic radiolucency, leg-length inequality and complications were recorded and compared. RESULTS: All patients were followed-up. The traditional group was followed up for 20 months (ranging 13-28 months), and the large head M-O-M group was followed up for 17 months (ranging 10-26 months). The mean Harris score was 89 points (ranging 59-98) in traditional group, and 94 points (ranging 71-100) in large head M-O-M group (P=0.014). The range of motion of hip was improved, and the large head M-O-M group (34?) was superior to traditional group (26?, P=0.004) at 6 months after surgery; the range of motion was improved 27? in traditional group and 37? in large head M-O-M group (P=0.009) over 1 year of follow up. The leg-length inequality was 4 mm (2-11 mm) in large head M-O-M group and 7 mm (5-16 mm) in traditional group (P=0.005). Both groups exhibited periprosthetic radiolucency (≤1 mm, 2 cases in traditional group and 3 cases in large head M-O-M group). One patient in the traditional group suffered dislocation. CONCLUSION: The large head M-on-M implants in total hip arthroplasty has excellent short-term effects on patients compared with traditional prosthesis. They offer the more stability and better restoration of hip articulation function and biomechanical reconstruction.

Objective:To investigate the dynamic changes of glycine (Gly) and taurine (Tau) in corpus striatum of rats with ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI),and the regulation effect of electroacupuncture on them.Methods:Thirty SD rats were randomly divided into sham surgery group,model group,and treatment group.Rats in the sham surgery group were operated without ischemia.Rats in the model group and treatment group were operated to make model of cerebral IRI.The ischemia status lasts 1.5 h,and reperfusion was performed for 3.75 h.Rats in the treatment group were treated with electroacupuncture at Fengchi (GB 20).Neurologic deficit score (NDS) was used to evaluate the rats functions.Microdialysis and High Performance Liquid Chromatography technique were used to detect the changes of Gly and Tau in corpus striatum of rats.Results:Contents of Gly and Tau increased at 1.5 h after ischemia.Them decreased to level as same as those rats in the sham surgery group after reperfusion.The content of Gly in the model and treatment group increased again at 2-2.5 h after reperfusion,and then decreased to the same level of the sham surgery group.There was a third increase of Gly content in the treatment group at 2.75 h after reperfusion.Electroacupuncture treatment could delay the decrease of Tau content after reperfusion,and make it increase at 1.5,2 and 2.75 h after reperfusion.The peak appeared in the last time.NDS in the model and treatment group were more than that in the sham surgery group,and lowered at 5.25 h after surgery.Effects in treatment group was better than that in the model group (P＜0.05).Conclusion:IRI makes contents of Gly and Tau in corpus striatum increase at a special time.Electroacupuncture treatment could increase contents of Gly and Tau at a special time after reperfusion,which maybe an important mechanism of protecting effects of electroacupuncture on the brain.
