Objective To explore clinical efficacy and safety of combining acupuncture and Dalitong granule in the treatment of functional dyspepsia. Methods A total of 240 patients with confirmed functional dyspepsia were randomly recruited into four groups: a combination group, a acupuncture group, a Dalitong granule group and a control group. Symptom score, plasma motilin, gastric emptying, total effective rate and adverse reaction were observed before and after the reatment in four groups. Results The symptom score, plasma motilin, and gastric emptying were improved in every group after the treatment (P＜0.01 ). Above-mentioned detecting indexes were better in the combination group than other groups (P＜ 0.05).The total effective rate was 96.67% in the combination group, showing significant difference comparing with other groups (P ＜0.05 ) . No serious adverse reaction occurred in each group. Conclusion Combined treatment of acupuncture and Dalitong granule can increase plasma motilin, promote gastric emptying, alleviate the symptom of functional dyspepsia, and increase total effective rate, with better security and tolerance.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the protective effect of Compound ginkgo leaf granules on liver function damage of acute pancreatitis. METHODS:Totally 82 patients with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP)complicated with liver function damage se-lected from our hospital during Sept. 2013-Sept. 2015 were randomized into control group and observation group according to ran-dom number table,with 41 cases in each group. Control group was given SAP related routine therapy. On the basis of the control group,observation group was additionally given Compound ginkgo leaf granules 5 g added into warm boiled water 80 mL via naso-gastric tube,tid,one week as a treatment course,for 2 courses. The remission time of abdominal pain,serum amylase recovery time,length of hospital stay and adverse drug reactions were observed in 2 groups. The levels of serum amylase,ALT,TBIL, AST,γ-GT,ALB,IL-6,TNF-α,creotoxin concentration,MDA,SOD,GSH-Px,total antioxidant capacity(TAC)and peripher-al blood PMN NF-κB levels were determined in 2 groups before and after treatment. RESULTS:In control group,3 patients with-drew from the study and 38 patients completed the study;in observation group,6 patients withdrew from the study and 35 patients completed the study. The remission time of abdominal pain,recovery time of serum amylase and the length of hospital stay in obser-vation group were significantly shorter than control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in the levels of serum amylase,ALT,TBIL,AST,γ-GT,ALB,IL-6,TNF-α,creotoxin concentration, MDA,SOD,GSH-Px,TAC and NF-κB between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,the levels of serum amylase,ALT,TBIL, AST,γ-GT,IL-6,TNF-α,creotoxin concentration,NF-κB and MDA in 2 groups were decreased significantly,while the levels of ALB,SOD,GSH-Px and TAC were increased significantly;the observation group was significantly lower or higher than the con-trol group,with statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Compound ginkgo leaf granules can significantly decrease serum amylase,protect liver function, with good safety. The mechanismmay be inhibiting the release of inflammatory factors,improving oxidative stress reactions,reduce the concentration of creotoxin and inhibiting the activity of NF-κB.

Objective To explore the clinical value of oral ultrasonic contrast agent ultrasonography (OUCAUS) combined with serum monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and cell adhesion molecule-1 (CAM-1) measurement in preoperative staging of stomach carcinoma.Methods 800 gastric cancer patients were diagnosed by electric gastroscopy and OUCAUS.The preoperative staging was measured by OUCAUS and compared with pathologic staging,and serum levels of MCP-1 and CAM-1 were measured with ELISA.Results The total accuracy rate of OUCAUS was 79.9％ in estimating invasive depth of stomach neoplasm,82.9％ in estimating lymphatic metastasis and 88.6％ in estimating distant metastasis respectively.The expression levels of MCP-1 and CAM-1 in serum were closely correlated with invasive degree,lymphatic metastasis,distant metastasis and pathologic staging (all P ＜ 0.05).The total accuracy rate of combining OUCAUS and MCP-1,CAM-1 was 93.0 ％ in estimating invasive depth,93.9％ in estimating lymphatic metastasis and 98.6％ in estimating distant metastasis respectively.The total accuracy rate of combining OUCAUS and MCP-1,CAM-1 in estimating invasive depth,lymphatic metastasis and distant metastasis was significantly higher than that of by OUCAUS alone.Conclusions MCP-1 and CAM-1 serum levels are closely correlated to pathologic staging of gastric cancer.Combining OUCAUS and MCP-1,CAM-1 can increase the accuracy rate determining invasion and metastasis in gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the relationship of the interaction between age and polymorphisms of E-selectin gene A561C, chemokine receptor CCR2 gene A190G with the susceptibility, invasion and metastasis of gastric carcinoma.Methods Based on tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging classification, 750 patients with confirmed gastric carcinoma in our hospital from December 2011 to November 2014 were divided into 5 groups: stage Ⅰ, stage Ⅱ , stage Ⅲ, stage Ⅳ and stage 0 (n=150, each).No significant difference was observed in gender, ethnicity, birthplace and living habits among the 5 groups.Meanwhile, 750 healthy controls were selected in this study during the same time, and there was no significant difference in gender, ethnicity and birthplace between the healthy controls and patients with gastric carcinoma.The genetic polymorphisms of E-selectin gene A561C and chemokine receptor CCR2 gene A190G were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms (PCR-RFLP) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMs).Results The frequencies of CC (A561C) and GG (A190G) genotypes were 56.5％ and 56.8％ respectively in gastric carcinoma cases and 22.8％ and 23.1％ respectively in healthy controls, with statistically significant differences in the distribution frequencies between the two groups (P＜0.01 for all).The risk for gastric carcinoma significantly increased in subjects with CC (A561C) genotype (OR=4.4038, 95％CI=2.9421-7.2397) and in GG (190A/G) genotype (OR=4.3852, 95％ CI =2.8207-7.4942).Combined analysis of the polymorphisms showed that the distribution frequency of CC (A561C) genotype / GG (190A/G) genotype in gastric carcinoma cases and healthy controls was 46.4％ and 11.9％ respectively (P＜0.01).The positive interactions of age with CC (A561C) genotype and GG (190A/G) genotype for the risk of invasion and metastasis of gastric carcinoma were found (γ＞1 for both).The distribution frequencies of CC (A561C) genotype and GG (190A/G) genotype were 50.0％ and 50.0％ in stage Ⅰ , 63.4％ and 64.0％ in stage Ⅱ ,69.3％ and 69.3％ in stage Ⅲ, 76.7％ and 77.3％ in stage Ⅳ, and 23.3％ and 23.3％ in stage 0 respectively.Statistically significant differences were found in the distribution frequencies between stage 0 and the other 4 stages (P＜0.01 for all).The risks for the invasion and metastasis of gastric carcinoma were significantly increased in subjects with CC (A561C) genotype (ORⅠ-Ⅳ =3.2857-10.7959) and in those with GG (190A/G) genotype (ORⅠ-Ⅳ =3.2857-11.2101).Combined analysis of the polymorphisms showed that distribution frequency of CC (A561C) genotype / GG (190A/G) genotype had significant differences between the stage Ⅰ ～Ⅳ and stage 0 (39.3％, 53.3％, 59.3％,68.0％ vs.12.0％, P＜0.01).The proportion of elderly subjects were higher in Grade Ⅰ ～Ⅳ than in Grade 0 (51.3％, 62.7％, 70.0％, 75.3％ vs.26.7％, P＜0.01 for all).The risk for invasion and metastasis of gastric carcinoma was significantly increased in elderly patients (ORⅠ-Ⅳ =2.9001 ～8.3986).The positive interactions of age with CC (A561C) genotype and GG (190A/G) genotype for the risk of invasion and metastasis of gastric carcinoma were found (γ＞ 1 for All).Conclusions Age and E-selectin gene A561C (CC) and chemokine receptor CCR2 gene A190G (GG) are the risk factors for the invasion and metastasis of gastric carcinoma, and the interactions between age and genetic polymorphisms increase the risk of invasion and metastasis of gastric carcinoma.

Methods Forty male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal group, model group, and compound Salviae Miltiorrhizae (Sm) group and S-JG group. Dimethylnitrosamine was injected intraperitoneally for 4 weeks to induce hepatic fobrosis. At the same time of modeling, Sm and S-JG were given in the corresponding groups. The rats were killed after four weeks. The histomorphylogic structure of the liver tissues was observed under optical microscope; the levels of MDA and SOD in serum were determined by radioimmunoassay. Results Compared with those in normal group, the collagen area in Masson staining and level of serum MDA were inreased obviously, and the level of serum SOD was dereased obviously in model group (P

Objective To analyze the magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)features of multiple sclerosis(MS)patients both in the brain and the spinal cord and to explore its relationship with factors such as quality of life,disability of MS patients and so on.Methods A total of 170 MS patients confirmed clinically underwent MRI examination and answered the questionnaires of Multiple Sclerosis Quality Of Life-54 instrument,Expanded Disability Status Scale,Hamilton Anxiety Scale and Hamilton Depression Scale.Results The lesions on brain MRI were usually seen in the white matter around the lateral ventricles,the centrum ovale majus and frontal lobe.The commonly seen length of the single lesions on the spinal cord was as long as that of 1-2 vertebral bodies,but that of the fused lesions was as long as that of 4-5 vertebral bodies.The distribution of the lesions was significantly correlated with the quality of life,the degrees of the disability,anxiety and depression.Conclusion MRI examination is useful for early and better diagnosis of MS and can provide guidance for treatment,and thus can improve the prognosis and the quality of life of patients.

ABSTRACT:Objective To investigate the interaction of polymorphisms of TNF-αgene promoter-308G/A and PPAR-γ2 gene-C34G with acute pancreatitis (AP)and its severity degree.Methods Totally 150 mild acute pancreatitis(MAP),150 moderately severe acute pancreatitis(MSAP)and 150 severe acute pancreatitis(SAP)cases were selected for this study,and 450 healthy persons as control group.The genetic polymorphisms of TNF-αgene promoter-308G/A and PPAR-γ2 gene-C34G were analyzed by the technique of PCR in peripheral blood leukocytes of above-mentioned cases and the results were verified by direct DNA sequencing method.Results The frequencies of -308G/A(GA),-308G/A(AA),-C34G(CG)and-C34G(GG)were 24.00%,26.67%,24.00% and 26.00% in MAP group,34.67%,36.67%,34.00% and 36.67% in MSAP group,42.00%,46.00%,43.33% and 46.00% in SAP group,and 14.44%,14.22%,12.89% and 14.67% in control group,respectively.Statistical tests showed significant difference in the frequencies among each group (all P<0 .0 1 ).The risk of AP significantly increased in subjects with-308G/A(GA),genotype (ORMAP=2.677 6,ORMSAP=6.625 0,ORSAP=21.514 7),in those with-308G/A(AA)genotype (ORMAP=2.570 0,ORMSAP=6.401 8,ORSAP=18.903 4),in those with-C34G(CG) genotype (ORMAP=2.668 4,ORMSAP=6.776 9,ORSAP=22.207 2),and in those with-C34G(GG)genotype (ORMAP=2.633 8,ORMSAP=6.472 5,ORSAP=21.570 2).Combined analysis of the polymorphisms showed that percentage of-308G/A(AA)/-C34G(GG)in MAP,MSAP,SAP and control groups was 7.33%,13.33%,20.67% and 2.00%,respectively,and statistical tests showed significant difference in the frequency among each group (all P<0.01).The people who carried-308G/A(AA)/-C34G(GG)had a high risk of AP (ORMAP=7.284 2,ORMSAP=41.296 1,ORSAP=363.973 6),and statistical analysis suggested a positive interaction between-308G/A(AA)and-C34G(GG)in increasing the risk of AP (γ2MAP=2.114 2,γ4MAP=2.080 0,γ2MSAP=2.108 7,γ4MSAP=2.050 6,γ2SAP=2.138 8,γ4SAP=2.000 1).Likewise,there were also positive interactions in the pathogenesis of AP between-308G/A(GA)and-C34G(GG),-308G/A(GA)and-C34G(CG),-308G/A(AA)and-C34G(CG)(All γ>1). Conclusion These carriers of-308G/A(GA),-308G/A(AA),-C34G(CG)and-C34G(GG)genotypes may have a high risk of developing AP,and significant interactions between genetic polymorphisms of-308G/A and-C34G add the risk of the occurrence and development of AP.
