1.The detection and clinical application of serologic biomarkers for liver fibrosis, the present and future perspectives
Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2014;37(2):93-95
Hepatic fibrosis is the final common pathway for liver injury caused by various chronic liver diseases.Noninvasive assessments of liver fibrosis are valuable in clinical use since they are easy to apply and monitor disease progression.Serologic biomarkers for liver fibrosis consist of direct markers which reflect ECM turnover and indirect markers which show liver function of synthesis,metabolism and reservation.A number of assessment models can identify significant fibrosis and cirrhosis,and avoid unnecessary liver biopsy.They can be used for disease staging,prognosis prediction,and treatment surveillance.Variation of analytical performances exists among diverse analyzers and assays.The standardization of these tests will enhance their comparability.Large scale and multicenter clinical verification studies are needed for the clinical utility of these assessment models based on Chinese population of chronic hepatic diseases.

Objective To report three cases of fulminant ulcerative colitis (FUC) treated with infliximab (IFX) and the positive result for clinical purpose. Methods Three patients with FUC were infused with IFX (5 mg/kg) at interval of 0, 2, 6 wk. Sulfasalazine or probiotics was used for the maintanance of remission. The mucosal healing was evaluated by endoscopy and patholoic examination. ResultsComplete remission was found in 3 patients with FUC. Eight weeks after IFX withdraw, complete remission was found in two of three cases demonstrated by endoscopy, except for one case died from refractory ventricular tachycardia. The remaing 2 cases showed no active manifestation during 8 months' follow-up. Conclusion IFX therapy results in complete remission in 3 cases with FUC. However, further randomized control study is warranted for concrete evaluation on salty and application clinically.

With reference to the teaching reform of standardized training cases based on organ systems, a teaching case writing team has been established, integrating the teaching experts in basic medicine, clinical medicine, humanities medicine, and other fields. Through collective lesson preparation and discussion, non-fictional comprehensive scenario writing techniques have been used based on organ systems and oriented by competency development, and the teaching cases for postgraduate students were written on the basis of real cases, which lays a solid foundation for the hierarchical and progressive cultivation and improvement of the quality of competency cultivation for postgraduate students through case teaching based on organ systems.

By identifying and analyzing the problems and difficulties in the implementation process of student stratification, goal stratification, practice stratification, and assessment stratification in standardized residency training, this article proposes to fully leverage the main role of professional bases in hierarchical and progressive teaching for standardized residency training and strengthen the specific responsibilities of professional base teaching groups in discussing hierarchical and progressive teaching plans, evaluation standards, and assessments. It is also necessary to scientifically implement student stratification, achieve consistent stratification goals, strengthen the training of hierarchical and progressive teaching concepts and teaching abilities for teachers, enhance the ability for homogeneous and hierarchical evaluation, and develop countermeasures that combine stage training goal process evaluation with dynamic personalized teaching by mentors, so as to provide a useful reference for further promoting the reform of standardized residency training using a hierarchical and progressive teaching model.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of multi-channel functional electrical stimulation cycling ergometer for children with spastic cerebral palsy.Methods A total of 60 chil-dren with rehabilitation treatment for spastic cerebral palsy in Outpatient Department were selected and randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 30 cases in each group.The control group received conventional rehabilitation treatments such as exercise therapy,occupational therapy and Chinese medicine massage,while the observation group received multi-channel functional electrical stimulation cycling ergometer training on the basis of the conventional rehabilitation treat-ments.Before treatment and 12 weeks after treatment,the Gross Motor Function Measure(GMFM-88),Peabody Developmental Measure Scale-Gross Motor(PDMS-GM),Berg Balance Scale(BBS),and Activities of Daily Living(ADL)were used to assess the gross motor function,balance function,and activities of daily living of the children in both groups.Results Before treatment,there were no sig-nificant differences in GMFM-88(D area,E area score,and total score),PDMS-GM(posture score,mobility score,and manipulation score),BBS,and ADL scores between the two groups(P>0.05).After treatment,the GMFM-88(D area,E area score and total score),PDMS-GM(posture score,mobility score and manipulation score),BBS and ADL scores in both groups improved significantly compared with those before treatment,and all the scores in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Multi-channel functional electrical stimulation cycling ergometer can effectively improve the gross motor function,balance function,and activities of daily living of children with spastic cerebral palsy.

ObjectiveTo conduct a meta-analysis of the prevalent characteristics of the injury-related behaviors among adolescents in China based on Chinese literature, so as to inform the prevention and control of injury-related behaviors of this population. MethodsA cross-sectional study on the prevalent characteristics of adolescent injury-related behaviors was conducted with the data collected from CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Data, CBM, PubMed, and Web of Science. The review included publications from the inception of the databases to November 2023. Meta-analysis was performed with Stata 15.1 software. ResultsA total of 40 articles were included in this study, and the meta-analysis results showed that cycling violation rate was 38% (95%CI: 32%‒43%), walking violation rate was 29% (95%CI: 22%‒36%), rate of unsafe swimming was 13% (95%CI: 11%‒14%), suicidal ideation rate was 13% (95%CI: 12%‒15%) and the prevalence of fighting was 19% (95%CI: 17%‒22%). Subgroup analysis showed that the cycling violation rate was (44%) for boys and 34% (95%CI: 28%‒40%) for girls. Adolescents in Northeast, East, and Southwest of China had the highest rate of cycling violation (44%), of which junior high school students had the highest rate of violation [42% (95%CI: 36%‒49%)]. As for the walking violation rate, male students [29% (95%CI: 21%‒37%)] was higher than that of female students [22% (95%CI: 15%‒30%)]. Adolescents in North of China had the highest rate of walking violation [54% (95%CI: 30%‒76%)], of which vocational school students accounted for 38% (95%CI:21%‒56%) of the total violation. In terms of the detection rate of unsafe swimming, male students [18% (95%CI: 14%‒24%)] was higher than that of female students [8% (95%CI: 6%‒10%)]. Adolescents in Central South China had the highest rate of unsafe swimming [15% (95%CI: 12%‒18%)], of which, vocational school students accounted for the highest [15% (95%CI: 10%‒19%)]. When it comes to the prevalence of suicidal ideation, female students [16% (95%CI: 13%‒19%)] was higher than that of male students [13% (95%CI: 11%‒15%)]. Adolescents in Southwest of China had the highest rate of suicidal ideation [17% (95%CI: 10%‒25%)], of which high school students accounted for the highest [15% (95%CI: 12%‒18%)]. Finally, the detection rate of fights was 30% (95%CI: 26%‒34%) for boys and 11% (95%CI: 10%‒14%) for girls. Adolescents from Southwest of China had the highest rate [29% (95%CI: 24%‒34%)] for fights, and junior high school students accounted for the highest [26% (95%CI: 22%‒31%)]. ConclusionThe prevalence of harmful behaviors among adolescents in China is notably high, with statistical differences across gender, region, and school stages. These behaviors pose a risk to adolescent health, underscoring the need for targeted interventions by health and educational authorities.
