Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Simotang oral liquid combined with compound glutamine enteric capsules in the treatment of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) belonging to liver depression and spleen deficiency pattern, and to explore its possible mechanism. Methods Sixty patients were randomly divided into two groups. The treatment goup (30 cases) took Simotang oral liquid and compound glutamine enteric capsules, the control group took Cerekinon and Medilac-S. The treatment course was 4 weeks. Clinical symptoms, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and substance P (SP) of both groups were evaluated respectively before and after treatment. Recurrence rate and adverse reactions were recorded. Results The total effective rate after treating 1, 2, 4 weeks between the two groups had no significant difference (P>0.05). Four weeks later, in the treatment group, total score of the symptoms, abdominal distension and defecation urgency were apparently lower than that of control group (P<0.05). The levels of 5-HT and SP of the two groups significantly decreased after treatment (P<0.05). The recurrence rate at 4 weeks after drug withdrawal of treatment group and control group was 10.7%(3/28) and 32.1%(9/28) respectively. The difference between the two groups wasn’t significant (P>0.05). Obvious side effects were not found in the two groups. Conclusion Simotang oral liquid combined with compound glutamine enteric capsules has evident therapeutic effect on IBS-D of liver depression and spleen deficiency pattern, especially good at releasing abdominal distension and defecation urgency. The mechanism may be related with decreasing the levels of 5-HT and SP.

With reference to medical personnel's infection during the prevalence of SARS, the paper offers some general information on the risks of occupational exposure of medicine. The commonly seen risks fall into four major categories, including biological risks, such as infection of hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HTV, etc.; chemical risks, such as those from antineoplastic drugs, cleaning agents, disinfectants, narcotics, dusts; physical risks, such as radiation, injury by sharp instruments, injury from heavy burden, forced body positions, etc.; and psychological risks. The paper also puts forward some proposals for safety protection: intensifying training in occupational safety of medicine, reinforcing the protection of high-risk groups of people and high-risk body parts, augmenting the supply of protective materials and the improvement of protective facilities, and setting up and perfecting long-acting protection and supply mechanisms.

Objective To discuss the relationship between IL-10 genes and susceptibility of H.pylori-associated gastric cancer of Han population in Chongqing district.Methods 100 H.pylori-positive patients with gastric cancer(gastric cancer group)and 140 H.pylori-positive healthy people (control group)were chose in the study,PCR-RFLP method was used to detect the IL-10-592 lo-cus polymorphisms of Han population in Chongqing district.Results Comparing with control group,IL-10-592 genotype frequency distribution of gastric cancer group has statistically significance (χ2=16.36,P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that gastric cancer incidence risk of people carrying with IL-10-592 A/A genotype was OR=4.37(95%CI:2.04-9.38),comparing with the subjects carrying with IL-10-592 C/C.Conclusion Polymorphism of IL-10 gene has close correlated with H.pylori-asso-ciated gastric cancer,IL-10-592 C/C might be the susceptibility gene of H.pylori-associated gastric cancer.

Neural plasticity is a characteristic of the neural system which can make an adaptive change to the stimulation of external environment. The earliest research on the theory of the neural plasticity began from the functional recovery after stroke. Mostly occurring in a few weeks or months, the motor functional recovery is usually due to the plasticity of the brain nerve after stroke. It was approved that combination of the enriched environment and the common rehabilitation training can make the optimal functional recovery of brain. The present researches focus on how to choose the proper time and the duration of the enriched rehabilitation training.

Objective To assess the clinical significance of three different noninvasive airway inflammatory indices in induced sputum and exhaled breath condensate ( EBC ) from persistent asthmatic patients.Methods Moderate and severe asthmatic patients were prescribed inhaled corticosteroids combined with long-acting β2 agonists for a month.The symptom scores and percentage of predicted value of forced expiratory volume in one second ( FEV1 ) ( FEV1% pred) were measured while the concentrations of H2O2,NO3-/NO2-,and cysteinyl-leukotriene E4(LTE4) in induced sputum and EBC were detected before and after therapy.Results A total of twenty-five subjects with moderate and severe asthma were enrolled.By combined therapy for one month the asthma aymptoms relieved and FEV1% pred improved significantly (P<0.01).The concentrations of H2O2,NO3-/NO2- arid LTE4in induced sputum and EBC declined significantly(P<0.01) although the concentrations were still higher than those at normal baseline.More marked reduction of H2O2 and NO3-/NO2- compared to LTE4was observed.It was revealed that the concentrations of H2O2 and NO3-/NO2- but not of LTE4in EBC were negatively correlated with FEV1% pred (P <0.01) and positively with symptom scores.Such correlations were also found in H2O2 in induced sputum with FEV1 % pred and symptom scores as well as NO3-/NO2- in induced sputum with FEV1 % pred.The improvement of FEV1 % pred after treatment was positively correlated with the reduction of H2O2 and NO3-/NO2- both in induced sputum and EBC.Correlation analysis also demonstrated three inflammatory indices were equivalent in induced sputum and EBC( correlation coefficient of H2O2,NO3-/NO2- and LTE4,0.759,0.826 and 0.653,respectively.P < 0.01 ).Conclusions (1) Combined therapy with inhaled corticosteroid plus long-acting β2 agonist significantly improves the clinical symptoms and lung function of patients with moderate and severe asthma companied with marked suppression of airway inflammation.(2) Both of EBC and induced sputum sampling are valuable noninvasive procedures for detecting asthma airway inflammation,however,EBC technique is superior in safety and reproducibility.(3) H2O2 and NO3-/NO2- seem to be more sensitive indices in diagnosis and monitoring asthma compared to LTE4.

Objective To investigate the effects of goal-oriented scheme for continuous mild sedation on patients with mechanical ventilation.Methods A total of 78 patients undergoing mechanical ventilation were enrolled via simple random number sampling method from January,2013 to December,2015,and divided into the experimental group(n=38)and the control group(n=40).The experimental group received goal-oriented scheme for continuous mild sedation designed by our department,and the control group received routine sedation protocol.Total sedative dosage,duration of mechanical ventilation,length of ICU stay,fatality rate in ICU,ventilator-associated pneumonia,pneumothorax,accidental extubation,tracheotomy were recorded.Results Duration of mechanical ventilation,length of ICU stay and total sedative dosage,incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia and rate of tracheotomy in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in accidental extubation,reintubation and barotrauma between two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion Goal-oriented scheme for continuous mild sedation can reduce total sedative dosage,length of ICU stay,duration of mechanical ventilation,rates of ventilator-associated pneumonia and tracheotomy.It is safer and more effective which can improve the prognosis of mechanically ventilated patients.

Objective To discuss the relationship between disease progress with the change of cell im munological function as well as the effect of immunological function in severe a cute respiratory syndrome. Methods Retrospective study was designed to analyze the relationship of disease progres s with the change of immunological function. According to the disease outcomes, the patients are divided into two groups: died group and survival group. The dif feren ce of immunological function in groups was performed statistics analysis. Results Immunological function (CD3 +, CD4 +, CD8 +) descended to the lowest level in period of fastigium in SARS patient, and then recovery quickly. Comparison of died grou p and survival group was found that Immunological function (CD3 +T, CD4 +T, CD 8 +T) were lower in period of fastigium and recovery in died group than in survival g roup(P

Forty-five patients with peritonsillar abscesses(PA) were treated by needle aspiration. Pus was drawn in 89%(40/45) of the cases at the first aspiration and repeated aspiration was necessary in 33%(15/45) of the patients. All of the patients were cured by needle aspiration without further invasive therapy and no serious complication was observed. 32 out of 45 patients were available for follow-up. Among them, three had another recurrent PA in situ and the other ten(31%) had recurrent tonsillitis. However, analysis showed that the patients under 35 years of age had higher recurreuce rate of PA of recurrent tonsillitis than those over 35 years old(P

OBJECTIVETo compare the difference in the clinical efficacy on type M prostatitis between the combined therapy of acupuncture and isolated-ginger moxibustion and tamsulosin.

METHODSOne hundred and ten patients of type III prostatitis were randomized into an acupuncture and moxibustion group and a tamsulosin group, 55 cases in each one. In the acupuncture and moxibustion group, acupuncture and isolated-ginger moxibustion were adopted. Two groups of acupoints were selected, named (1) Guanyuan (CV 4), Qugu (CV 2) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6); (2) Yaoyangguan (GV 3), Pangguangshu (BL 28) and Zhibian (BL 54). The two groups of points were used by acupuncture alternatively and only one group was selected a day. Isolated-ginger moxibustion was applied to Guanyuan (CV 4) and Zhibian (BL 54), once a day, 10 treatments made one session, and totally 3 sessions were required. In the tamsulosin group, tamsulosin was prescribed for oral administration, 0.2 mg, twice a day for 1 month. The National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI) score and expressed prostatic secretion (EPS) score were observed in the patients of the two groups.

RESULTSNIH-CPSI and EPS scores after treatment were all reduced apparently as compared with those before treatment in the two groups (all P < 0.05). The improvements in the acupuncture and moxibustion group were more obvious than those in the tamsulosin group (all P < 0.05). In 3 months follow-up, NIH-CPSI score in the acupuncture and moxibustion group was reduced apparently as compared with the tamsulosin group (P < 0.05). The curative rate and total effective, rate were 20.0% (11/55) and 85.5% (47/55) in the acupuncture and moxibustion group, and were 3.6% (2/55) and 61.8% (34/55) in the tamsulosin group respectively (both P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe combined therapy of acupuncture and isolated-ginger moxibustion achieves the good effect of relieving the symptoms of type III prostatitis and recovery of EPS, better than those treated with tamsulosin. This combined therapy spresents the better long-term efficacy.
