Objective:To investigate the clinical value of serological test indicators in the identification of primary and metastatic liver cancers. Methods:We detected the serum levels of ALT, AST, ALP, TBIL, DBIL, GGT, CHE, 5'-NT, CA199, CEA, and AFP in primary hepatic carcinoma (PHC;120 cases), metastatic hepatic carcinoma (MHC;135 cases), and no liver metastatic control (135 cas-es) groups. The methods used were variance analysis and Scheffe test. ROC curve analysis was used to determine the diagnostic value of CA199 , CEA, and AFP in PHC and MHC. Results:The difference between the serum levels of AST, ALP, GGT, 5'-NT, AFP, and CEA of the PHC and MHC groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). The AFP, CEA, and CA199 areas under the ROC curve of the PHC and MHC groups revealed that AFP diagnosis of primary liver cancer had certain accuracy, whereas CEA and CA199 have some diagnostic value in differentiating primary and metastatic liver cancers. Conclusion: The detection of serum levels of AST, GGT, 5'-NT, AFP, CA199, and CEA in malignant tumor was a preliminary diagnosis of liver metastasis and can provide evidence for the dif-ferential diagnosis of PHC and MHC.

[Objective]To study the clinical features and expressions of IL-17A,IFN-γ,and IL-10 in serum and intestinal mucosa of patients with post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome and non post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome.[Methods]44 diar?rhea-predominate IBS patients(21 with PI-IBS,23 with NPI-IBS)and 10 healthy controls were recruited in this study. Investigation questionnaires of GSRS,SAS,SDS were carried out to evaluate the gastrointestinal function,anxiety status and depression status of IBS patients. The expressions of IL-17A,IFN-γ,and IL-10 in intestinal mucosa and serum were measured by immunohistochemis?try(IHC)and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).[Results]The SDS scores of NPI-IBS patients were higher than those of controls(P<0.05),and the SAS and SDS scores of PI-IBS patients were higher than those of controls(P<0.05). The GSRS, SAS and SDS scores of PI-IBS group were higher than those of NPI-IBS group(P<0.05). Compared with healthy controls,PI-IBS and NPI-IBS group showed significant rise of IL-17A,IFN-γlevels and decrease of IL-10 level in intestinal mucosa(P<0.05);In serum,the IL-17A levels were up-regulated and the IL-10 levels were decreased in PI-IBS group but not in NPI-IBS group when compared with controls(P<0.05). In intestinal mucosa and serum,IL-17A and IFN-γlevels in PI-IBS group were slightly higher than those in NPI-IBS group(P > 0.05).[Conclusion]PI-IBS and NPI-IBS patients existed various anxiety and depression. The levels of IL-17A and IFN-γ increased and level of IL-10 decreased in PI-IBS and NPI-IBS group. But the clinical symptoms and changes of cytokines of PI-IBS patients were more significant. There may exist other pathogenesis in PI-IBS but not in NPI-IBS.

Objective:
To explore the features of close contacts of coronavirus disease 2019 ( COVID-19 ) cases in Jiulongpo District, Chongqing, so as to provide evidence for the management of close contacts and the control of the epidemic.
Methods:
Demographic characteristics, contact history and medical records of close contacts of COVID-19 cases in Jiulongpo District from January 22 to April 10, 2020 was collected according to the COVID-19 Prevention and Control Program ( sixth version ) . Descriptive statistical analysis was performed.
Results:
Totally 602 close contacts were found, and 30 of them were infected, with an attack rate of 4.98%. Twenty-seven cases were diagnosed before February 10. The close contacts mainly aged from 20 to 59 years ( 457, 75.91% ) ; most were relatives of COVID-19 cases ( 219, 36.38% ) , and 64 (10.63%) were medical staff. Most contacted occasionally ( 338, 56.15% ), at home ( 190, 31.56% ) , and through the same meal ( 181, 30.07% ) . The attack rate of close contacts aged 40 years and over was 7.49%, which was higher than 2.37% of those aged under 40 years ( P<0.05 ). The attack rate of close contacts increased with contact frequency ( P<0.05 ) . The attack rates of close contacts were significantly different in different relations with cases, contact places and contact modes ( P<0.05 ); the attack rates of colleagues and relatives were 20.41% and 8.68%; the attack rates of close contacts in the workplace settings and family were 17.54% and 10.00%; the attack rates of sharing the same bed, living in the same room and working in the same room were 44.44%, 18.60% and 17.24%.
Conclusions
The close contacts of COVID-19 cases in Jiulongpo District, Chongqing who aged 40 years or above, exposed in family settings and in the workplace were associated with higher risk of infection.

Objective: To compare the pharmacodynamic action of Radix Notoginseng after fermented by different strains bioconversion.Methods:The models of cerebral ischemia and hypoxia were established,thrombosis in vivo were induced by collagen-Adr,ventricular fibrillation of mice by chloroform,and perfusion experiment of the ex vivo heart of cavia cobaya was used.Results:100,200mg/kg doses of all samples had protective effects on ischemia and hypoxia mice,1# sample can inhibit thrombosis induced by collagen-adrenaline obviously after intraperitoneal injection in dosage of 200mg?kg-1?d-1 for 5days.All groups significantly reduced the incidents of ventricullar fibrillation induced by chloroform in mice except 100mg/kg dose of 1#,furthermore,compared with control high dose group(5#),the incidents of high dose groups of 3、4# deceased significantly.All samples had the effect of dilating coronary artery,but there effects on myocardial contractile force and cardiac preload were different.Conclusion:The primary cardiovascular related pharmacological researches demonstrated the vary action changes of 1-4# samples compared with the sample 5#.This result has revealed that the chemical structure of Radix Notoginseng transformed and that is coincide with initial analysis of phytochemical analysis.

Objective To explore the efficacy of Cohen ureteric reimplantation for congenital malformation of vesicoureteral junction in children.Methods From February 2014 to August 2016,12 children with congenital monstrositas of vesicoureteral junction obstruction who were treated with pneumoeystoscopic Cohen ureteric reimplantation in Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital were selected.In these cases,8 males and 4 females,their ages ranged from 2 months past 1 year to 11 years,and the average age was 5.26 years.In the 12 patients,there were 6 cases with left vesicoureteral junction obstruction,and 1 case with right vesicoureteral junction obstruction,1 case with left ureter cyst and duplication of ureter ectopic opening,1 case with right duplex kidney and ureter cyst,1 case with right primary vesicoureteric reflux and left vesicoureteral junction obstruction,2 cases with bilateral primary vesicoureteric reflux and 1 case with ureter cyst.A foley catheter and ureteral stent was indwelled in each patient but no bladder fistula was made.All of the patients underwent pneumocystoscopic Cohen ureteric reimplantation.The stenting catheters were removed in 1-3 months after surgery.B ultrasonography was used to follow the degree of the dilatation of ureter and hydronephrosis.Urinalysis was conducted to detect the urinary tract infection.Intravenous urography examination was conducted to detect anastomotic stenosis.Voiding cystourethrography was performed to show ureteral reflux.Results All procedures were accomplished without conversion.The duration of operations ranged from 100 to 330 min (mean 207 min).All patients were followed up for 3 to 10 months,but no urinary tract infection and anastomotic obstruction occurred,and B ultrasonography showed that hydronephrosis or dilatation of ureter were improved in different degrees or disappeared.Two cases of ureteral reflux occurred in the early follow-up,and these cases recovered after being given symptomatic treatment.Conclusions The pneumocystoscopic Cohen ureteric reimplantation is a safe and effective option for congenital malformation of vesicoureteral junction in children.
