The status of bioelectrical impedance measurement especially the multifrequency segmental bioelectrical impedance measurement of liver diseases is introduced.The multifrequency segmental bioelectrical impedance can well rule out the impact from the change of body weight caused by edema and ascites,and can evaluate the volume of ascites.Compared with single frequency bioelectrical impedance,the multi frequency bioelectrical impedance measurements probably display good prospect.It helps to produce objective judgement on nutrition status and energy metabolism for patients with liver diseases.The effect,however,needs further clinical research.

Thirty-one cases of limb pain after wind-stroke were treated by direct moxibustion with small moxa cones. Results showed that 12 cases got remarkable effects, 15 cases effect and 4 cases ineffectiveness, with a total effective rate of 87.1%.

Objective To investigate the clinical and pathological characters and seize the diagnostic main points of minimal deviation adenocarcinoma of cervix to improve the accuracy of pathological diagnosis. Methods A clinic pathological review of 6 cases with minimal deviation adenocarcinoma was analyzed retrospectively. Results The main clinical symptoms were watery leucorrhagia, enlargement of the cervix with erosin and hardening. The pathological findings included hyperplasic and mild abnormality of the glands, invasion effects into the stroma could be observed in some glands and abortive glands with desmoplastic changes, or edema and inflammatory infiltration around the glands were also observed. Conclusion The detection rate of minimal deviation adenocarcinoma may increase by triple combination of clinic, cytology and histology.

Objective To observe the clinical characteristics and efficacy of laser photocoagulation of aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity (AP-ROP).Methods Twenty-eight eyes of 14 infants with AP-ROP from May 2008 to December 2010 were enrolled in this study.The infants were examined using RetCam photography and indirect ophthalmoscopy.Among the 28 eyes,24 eyes were classified as zone one and 4 eyes zone two.All eyes were treated within 24 hours using binocular indirect ophthalmoscope and laser photocoagulation.The initial energy was 200 mW,using energy was 200 - 500 mW,exposure time was 200 ms.Every two photocoagulation spot was linked together,but no overlap.Follow-up ranged from 3 to 24 months,with a mean of 11.5 months. The retinal bloods,the iris surface vessels,the fiber hyperplasia on retina,retinal detachment or ruffle form were observed.Results Twenty-five of 28 eyes (89.3 ％) recovered or were classified as control; 1 of 28 eyes (3.6 ％) was suffered retinal detachment one month after treatment.The detachment was resolved through vitrectomy Surgery.Two of 28 eyes (7.1 ％)did poorly.The parents gave up treatment resulting in loss of vision.No treatment-related complications were observed during the follow-up period,such as damage to cornea,iris and lens. Conclusion Photocoagulation is a safe and effective way to treat most AP-ROP.

Objective To investigate the changes of ultrastructure and Bax,Bcl-2 expression of cerebral cortex in lymphostatic encephalopathy(LE).Methods LE models were established by occluding and removing both the shallow and deep cervical lymph nodes in rats.Ultrastructural changes of the cerebral cortex were observed at 1 d,2 d,3 d,5 d,7 d and 14 d after operation.Expression of Bax and Bcl-2 were examined by Western blot.Results Brain edema appeared under electron microscope in LE model group.The perivascular spaces in the cortex were enlarged and full of fluid,the dropsical nerve fibers had swelling and fragmented myelin sheath.Some neurons showed apoptotic conformation and some had characters of necrosis.The changes mentioned above were the most serious at day 5.The protein expression of Bax,Bcl-2 and the ratios of Bax/Bcl-2 in LE 3 d,5 d,7 d groups were significantly higher than those in normal control group(all P

In recent years, with the advances in life cycle of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and the approval of direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs), great progress has been made in treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC).This article reviews the research progress of DAAs in CHC management, showing the possibility of the elimination of HCV infection by DAAs.DAAs have not been widely clinically used due to high medication costs, but can be used as a supplement for the combination therapy of pegylated interferon and ribavirin.

There are about 150 million people around the world with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV)infection currently,of whom 20%will ultimately progress to cirrhosis and eventually die of end-stage liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma.Interferon (IFN)has long been recognized as the cornerstone of the treatment of chronic hepatitis C because of its role in sustained virologic response and prevention of disease progression.However,it has limited efficacy and multiple adverse effects.In recent years,direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) have shown good efficacy.This review summarizes the recent advances in IFN-free anti-HCV therapeutic regimens based on DAAs.We believe that,with the emergence of DAAs,IFN-free therapies will develop rapidly and display better prospects.

Objective To investigate effects of 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 on the cell cycle and apoptosis of K652 cells. Methods Vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression was identified by western blot analysis. Cell growth, apoptosis and cell cycle were evaluated by MTT assay, acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EB) and flow cytometry. Results VDR was present in K562 cell nucleus. 10-8mol/L 1, 25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 could markedly inhibit K562 cells growth and induced cell apoptosis. Most of cells were arrested in G2/M phase, the ratio of apoptosis increased from 4.1% in control group to 26.5 % in treatment group (P<0.01). Conclusion 1,25-Dihydrexyvitamin D3 exhibited obvious inhibitory effects on cell proliferation and cell cycle, and induced apoptosis in K562 cells.

Objective To compare the myocardial enzyme spectrum of native mountain yaks ( Bos grunniens) , alien mountain yellow cattle ( Bos taurus domestica) and low altitude yellow cattle breeding in Qinghai plateau, explove the mechanism that the native mountain yaks adapt to the plateau environment.Methods The samples were treated by cervical bleeding to death, and whole blood was collected.Then serum were prepared from whole blood.The myocardial enzymes including aspartate amino transferase, creatine kinase, creatinine kinase-MB isoenzyme, lactate dehydrogenase, α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase and.Results In the native mountain yaks and in the alien mountain yellow cattle, levels of AST, CK, CK-MB were significantly higher than those in the low altitude yellow cattle (P<0.05);compared with the alien mountain yellow cattle, levels of AST,CK were significantly higher than those in the native mountain yaks (P<0.05),CK-MB,LDH and HBDH were lower(P<0.05).The results suggested that under the high altitude and hypoxia environment, myocardial cell injury occurred in the alien mountain yellow cattle, thus various enzymes penetrated through the cells into the blood circulation, lead to the higher serum enzymatic levels.Conclusion The phenomenon indicates that the alien mountain yellow cattle is in a state of high altitude acclimatization.But the native mountain yaks are well adapte to the high altitude and hypoxia environment.

Objective To investigate the association of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) in p.S267F of SLC10A1 gene with clinical outcomes of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Methods Clinical data of 1 268 patients with HBV infections admitted in Public Health Clinical Center Affiliated to Fudan University during July 2014 and February 2015 were collected.Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism ( PCR-RFLP) method was used to genotype the p .S267F of SLC10A1 gene in all patients, and the potential association between variants in p .S267F of SLC10A1 gene and the clinical outcomes of HBV infection was analyzed .Results Among 1 268 patients with HBV infections, 1 226 were of genotype CC, and 42 were of genotype CT, so the variation rate in p.S267F was 3.31%(42/1 268).Compared with patients with genotype CC , patients with genotype CT had a higher incidence of acute HBV infections (13.6%vs.28.6%,χ2 =19.819, P<0.05) and a lower incidence of HBV-related liver cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma (13.9% vs.4.8%, χ2 =18.945, P <0.05). Conclusion RFLP in p.S267F of SLC10A1 gene may be associated with chronicity and aggravation of HBV infection, and genotype CT is possibly a protective factor .
