Objective:To analyze the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of probiotics in initial Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori) eradication therapy. Methods:A total of 267 patients with positive H. pylori infection were randomly assigned to two groups, the control group ( n=133) received a 14-day bismuth agent quadruple therapy and the study group ( n=144) received conventional quadruple therapy plus probiotics from January 2020 to August 2021. Eradication status was assessed 4-12 weeks after treatment. The H.pylori eradication rate, adverse reactions, and cost-effectiveness were compared between the two groups. Results:The H.pylori eradication rate was higher in study group than that in the control group in intention-to-treat (ITT) (80.6%(108/134), 95% CI:73.8%-87.4% vs. 68.4%(91/133), 95% CI:60.4%-76.4%, P=0.022) and per-protocol (83.1%(108/130), 95% CI:76.5%-89.6% vs. 72.2%(91/126), 95% CI:64.3%-80.2%, P=0.037). The incidence of adverse effects in the study group was lower than that in the control group (8.2%(11/134) vs. 18.8%(25/133), χ 2=6.415, P=0.011). Cost-effectiveness analysis showed that compared with the control group, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of the study group was 1 010.49 yuan. The single factor sensitivity analysis showed that the H.pylori eradication rate of the study group had a greater impact on the results, followed by that of the control group and the cost of bifidobacterium quadruplex viable tablets. The probability sensitivity analysis showed that when the willingness to pay value (WTP) was 2 500 yuan, the probability that the probiotics combined with the bismuth agent quadruple therapy group was more cost-effective than the simple bismuth agent quadruple therapy group was 91.2%. Conclusion:As initial Helicobacter pylori treatment, probiotics combined with the bismuth agent quadruple scheme has a higher eradication rate and a lower incidence of adverse events than the bismuth agent quadruple scheme.

Objective To assess the effectiveness and safety of paclitaxel-coated balloons for in-stent restenosis in patients aged 65 years and over.Methods Sixty elderly patients(≥65 years old)with in-stent restenosis were enrolled at the Department of Cardiology,the First Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolian Medical University.Based on different treatment methods for in-stent restenosis,patients were divided into the drug-eluting balloon(DEB,n=32)group and the drug-eluting stent(DES,n=28)group.The primary end point was late luminal loss,determined by angiography.Secondary end points included rates of restenosis and major adverse cardiac events (MACEs).Results Quantitative coronary angiography revealed no significant differences in baseline data At 3 months after treatment,the rate of MACEs was 28.6％ in the DES group and 12.5％ in the DEB group(P＜0.05).At 6 months after treatment,angiography showed that the (x)±s of insegment late luminal loss was(0.21±0.04)mm in the DES group versus(0.12±0.06)mm in the DEB group(P ＜0.05).Furthermore,7 of 28 patients (25 ％) in the DES group had restenosis,compared with 4 of 32 patients (12.5 ％)in the DEB group(P =0.03).Conclusions Paclitaxel-coated balloons for coronary in-stent restenosis in patients aged 65 years or over can significantly reduce the incidence of restenosis and lower the rate of MACEs.The procedure is safe with no serious complications,eliminates the need for additional stent implantation,and should be further assessed in future clinical trials.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness and safety of drug-eluting stent implantation following rotational atherectomy (RA)for severe coronary arteries calcification in elderly patients. Methods A total of 21 patients receiving RA and drug-eluting stent implantation were enrolled in this study in our cardiology department from Sep.2014 to Sep.2017. Twenty-one patients with 27 severe calcified lesions were treated with the stent implantation following RA . The primary endpoints of the study were the immediate operation success rate and the rate of major adverse cardiac and cerebral events (MACCE)at 6 month after surgery ,including angina recurrence ,need for target vessel revascularization ,myocardial infarction ,stent thrombosis and cardiovascular death. Results 14 patients(66.7% ,14/21)received RA by using 1.5 mm burr ,and 7 patients(33.3% ,7/21)by using both 1.25 mm and 1.5 mm burrs. The average ratio of burr to artery diameter was (0.5 ± 0.1). A total of 29 stents were successfully implanted in all patients (100% ,21/21 patients).None of the patients experienced any acute coronary artery rupture or other severe complications during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI ) after RA. Two cases (2/21 ,9.5% ) suffered from slow flow ,and the coronary blood flow was restored to TIMI grade Ⅲ after treatment. The coronary blood flow in the other 19 cases(19/21 ,90.4% )was TIMI grade Ⅲ after RA.Intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS) showed that the stents were well adhered without stent rupture and intimal tear in 12 cases(12/21 , 57.1% ) ,and postdilation was performed in 9 cases(9/21 ,42.9% ).All patients were followed up for at least 6 months ,and target vessel revascularization and death were not found. Conclusions A drug-eluting stent implantation following rotational atherectomy is effective and safe for treating severe coronary arteries calcification in elderly coronary heart disease patients. The IVUS-guided rotational atherectomy combined with drug-eluting stent implantation can reduce the risk of MACCE ,such as under-expansion stent ,stent thrombosis ,myocardial infarction ,cardiovascular death ,and improve clinical outcomes in elderly patients with severe coronary arteries calcification.

Objective To compare different regimens of intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide (CTX) to establish a rabbit model of premature ovarian failure (POF), and provide a useful experimental tool for further research of premature ovarian failure. Methods A total of twenty-one 5-6 months old rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups. The group A (normal control group) included 3 rabbits without any treatment. The group B (the first model group) included 6 rabbits, received a single intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg cyclophosphamide. Six rabbits in the group C (the second model group) were injected with 50 mg/kg cyclophosphamide once daily for 2 days. The group D (the third model group, also n=6) was injected with 50 mg/kg cyclophosphamide on the first day and then followed by 8 mg/ (kg·d) injection q.d. in the 14 consecutive days. Body weight and ovary weight of the rabbits in each group were measured, and the changes of body weight and the ovary index were analyzed. Morphological changes of the ovarian follicles were observed by HE staining and the numbers of normal and abnormal follicles at different developmental stages were counted and analyzed. Cell apoptosis was analyzed by TUNEL staining and changes in the serum levels of estradiol (E2) were detected by ELISA. Results The body weight of rabbits in both groups B and group C was not significantly changed during the experimental period (P＞ 0. 05). Rabbits in the group D showed a slight growth (P ＜ 0. 05) and high mortality. The ovary index in group C was significantly lower than that in the group A (P ＜ 0. 05). The ratios of abnormal primordial and primary follicles in groups B and C were significantly increased (P ＜ 0. 017), and the ratio of abnormal primordial follicles in the group C was increased more significantly (P ＜ 0. 017). However, there was no significant difference in the ratios of abnormal primary follicles between groups B and C (P＞ 0. 017). Among the groups A, B and C, there was no significant difference in the ratios of abnormal secondary and antral follicles (P＞ 0. 05). Apoptosis mainly occurred in granulosa cells of the ovarian follicles. The apoptosis rate of groups B and C was significantly higher than that in the group A (P ＜ 0. 05), and the apoptosis rate of group C was higher than that in the group B (P ＜ 0. 05). In the group B, the serum E2 level reached the peak value on the 7th day, significantly higher than that on the 35th day (P ＜ 0. 05), and then the level was decreased gradually. In the group C, the E2 level was continuously decreased and the level on the last day before drug injection was significantly higher than that at the 35th day (P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusions Intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg cyclophosphamide once daily for 2 days is a most suitable method for the establishment of rabbit model of premature ovarian failure (POF).

Objective To evaluate the clinical improvements after autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) percutaneously injected into coronary artery in patients with heart failure due to non-ischemic cardiomyopathy using PET myocardial peffusion/metabolic imaging.Methods From February 2011 to October 2012,40 patients with heart failure due to non-ischemic cardiomyopathy were selected.The test group including 15 patients (13 males,2 females,average age (57.5±14.5) years) received the autologous BMMNCs intracoronary injection on the basis of drug treatment.The other 25 cases (21 males,4 females,average age (58.0±12.0) years) were taken as the control group and only received the drug treatment.All patients were followed up for 24 months,and the myocardial perfusion/metabolism imaging,echocardiography,brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) test,6-minute walking experiment were performed.The data were analyzed by two-sample t test.Results During the follow-up period,the test group had no ventricular arrhythmia and other serious complications,and the patients' symptoms had been improved.There was no change in myocardial perfusion after treatment of autologous BMMNCs,but the myocardial metabolic defect by volume reduced from (43.79± 17.99) cm3 to (28.19±9.27) cm3 (t =3.33,P＜0.01) 24 months after the treatment.The myocardial metabolic defect by volume at the baseline and after 24 months in the control group was (43.30±15.70) cm3,(48.51±15.77) cm3 respectively (t=1.01,P＞0.05).In the test group,the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter decreased from (64.0±8.0) mm to (59.0±7.0) mm 24 months after the treatment (t=2.04,P＜0.05),and the left ventricular ejection fraction was significantly higher than that before treatment:(45.0±4.0) ％ vs (27.0±6.0) ％ (t =10.81,P＜0.01).Conclusion PET myocardial perfusion/metabolic imaging can be used as tools in evaluating the therapeutic effect of autologous BMMNCs in patients with heart failure due to non-ischemic cardiomyopathy.

BACKGROUND:In clinical practice,the anterior superior iliac spine and posterior superior iliac spine are usually located by palpation,and the tilt of the pelvis is determined by visual observation method or photogrammetry.Among them,the visual observation method can only have qualitative conclusions,and its reliability is poor.The photogrammetry is not only more convenient and fast,but also can give more accurate quantitative data,which is one of the best clinical evaluation methods.However,there are no studies on the reliability of pelvic posture assessment using photogrammetry in China. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the pelvic posture by visual observation method and photogrammetry,and to compare the reliability level of the two methods to guide clinical application. METHODS:Forty-five healthy subjects were selected and red marks were made at the bilateral anterior superior iliac spine and posterior superior iliac spine.Pelvic posture was photographed from the front,back(coronal plane),left,and right(sagittal plane).The left and right pelvic tilt angles(α,β angles)were selected from the front and back views,which represented the angle between the bilateral anterior superior iliac spine line or the bilateral posterior superior iliac spine line and the horizontal line.The anterior and posterior pelvic tilt angles(γ,θ angles)were selected from the side view,which represented the angle between the ipsilateral anterior superior iliac spine and posterior superior iliac spine line and the horizontal plane,indicating the sagittal plane pelvic tilt.Evaluation methods included visual observation method and photogrammetry.Two evaluators independently evaluated the pelvic α,β,γ,θ angles using the visual observation method first,and then recorded the pelvic α,β,γ,θ angles using the photogrammetry.After a one-month interval,the visual observation method and photogrammetry were performed again,and the pelvic α,β,γ,θ angles were recorded.The intraclass correlation coefficients were used to analyze the data obtained from the two evaluation methods and the before-and-after measurements:0.90-0.99 as an excellent correlation,0.80-0.89 as a good correlation,0.70-0.79 as a moderate correlation,and≤0.69 as a poor correlation.The standard error of measurement and the minimal detectable change with 95%confidence intervals were calculated to evaluate the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The interrater intraclass correlation coefficients of the visual observation method and photogrammetry were as follows:anterior view:0.682 and 0.718,posterior view:0.513 and 0.867,left view:0.739 and 0.960,and right view:0.756 and 0.971.The visual observation method showed poor correlation between the anterior and posterior views and moderate correlation between the left and right views,while the photogrammetry showed moderate correlation for the anterior view,good correlation for the posterior view,and excellent correlation for the left and right views.The standard error values of measurement were as follows:anterior view:3.266 and 1.625,posterior view:4.278 and 1.763,left view:5.935 and 1.787,and right view:5.723 and 1.698.The minimal detectable change values with 95%confidence intervals were as follows:anterior view:9.053 and 4.504,posterior view:11.858 and 4.887,left view:16.451 and 4.953,and right view:15.863 and 4.707.(2)The interrater intraclass correlation coefficients of the visual observation method and photogrammetry were as follows:anterior view:0.452 and 0.723,posterior view:0.483 and 0.904,left view:0.518 and 0.955,and right view:0.657 and 0.968.The visual observation method showed poor correlation in all four directions,while the photogrammetry showed moderate correlation for the anterior view and excellent correlation for the other three directions.The standard error values of measurement were as follows:anterior view:5.651 and 1.610,posterior view:4.237 and 1.523,left view:7.322 and 1.891,and right view:6.509 and 1.781.The minimal detectable change values with 95%confidence intervals were as follows:anterior view:15.664 and 4.463,posterior view:11.744 and 4.222,left view:20.296 and 5.242,and right view:18.042 and 4.937.(3)These results confirm that the sagittal and coronal plane photogrammetries have good intrarater and interrater reliability for evaluating pelvic posture,especially with the use of the photogrammetry,which has good data stability.This method is simple,fast,efficient,accurate,low-cost,and does not cause X-ray damage,and can qualitatively and quantitatively reflect the actual situation of the patient's pelvis,making it suitable for clinical use.
