Objective To conduct a Meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of interfer on-α for treating HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B in children.Methods PubMed and Chinese Biomedical Database were searched from the beginning to April 2006,and the references of eligible studies were manually screened.Randomized controlled trials published in the English and Chinese literature comparing interferon-α with non-antiviral interventions(placebo or no treatment)in children with chronic hepatitis B were eligible for inclusion.Studies were included if patients were treated for at least 3 months and followed up for at least 6 months after cessation of therapy.Two investigators independently assessed the quality and extracted the data.The methodological quality of trails was assessed by the Jadad-scale plus allocation concealment.Heterogeneity was examined by Chi-square test.Fixed effects model or random effects model was used to pool the data.Sensitivity analyses were used in the treatment course.Results Seven randomized controlled studies with a total of 360 child chronic hepatitis B virus carriers who were positive for hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis B e antigen werc identified.It was found by Meta-analysis that,compared with the control,at the end of therapy,interferon-α could significantly clear HBeAg[22.1%vs 6.7%,OR 3.56,95% CI(1.74, 7.28),P=0.000 5],HBV DNA[33.7% vs 12.6%,OR 3.50,95% CI(2.03,6.06),P＜0.01], HBsAg [6.5% vs 0.5%,OR 7.10,95% CI(1.52,33.12),P=0.01],and achieve HBeAg seroconversion [17.3% vs 2.9%,OR 5.62,95% CI(1.65,19.18),P=0.006],but was not more effective in HBsAg seroversion[2.0% vs 0,OR 3.55,95%CI(0.35,35.93),P=0.28]and alanine aminotransferase(ALT)normalization[24.2% vs 16.2%,OR 1.72,95% CI(0.84,3.52), P=0.14].Conclusions Interferon a may be efficacious in clearance of HBeAg,HBV DNA and HhsAg, and achievement of HBeAg seroversion.Little evidence is available on HBsAg seroversion and ALT normali zation.Rigorously designed large sample size randomized double blind clinical trials with large sample size are required to further confirm and support the conclusion.

Objective To investigate the arthroscopic presentations of knee joint of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods During December 2005 to February 2008,223 patients with RA in our department underwent knee arthroscopy examination. The arthroscopic presentations of 310 knee joints were analyzed retrospectively. Results Synovial hyperplasia were observed in 305 knees (98.4% ) out of 310 ones. The medial part (88.4%), intercondylar fossa (86.1%) and lateral space (83.2%) were the most frequent localization of synovial hyperplasia, which was less common in the suprapatellar bursa. Hyperplastic synovium of 296 knees had coralloid or cotton-wool like presentation, with central nourishing vessels. Nine knees were lichen-like hyperplasia, without nourishing vessels. Different degrees of pathological changes or defect could be seen in 301 knees, including merely cartilage degeneration in 63 knees, cartilage degeneration plus cartilage damage or defect in femoral medial condyle or lateral condyle in 124, 163 knees, in which 53, 45 with the damage deep to the cancellous bone. Most anterior or posterior cruciate ligament (in 274 knees) were covered with hyperplastic synovium, anterior cruciate ligament of 51 knees were partial ruptured, 5 ones were completely ruptured,while 23 and 1 case had these presentations in the posterior cruciate ligament.. Meniscus damage was commonly seen under arthroscope. 234 and 38 knees had medial meniscus torn or disappeared completely, while 214 and 45 in the lateral meniscus. Conclusion Synovial hyperplasia is commonly seen in knee joints of RA and most commonly seen in the intercondylar fossa, medial space and lateral space, but less common in the suprapatellar bursa. The hyperplastic synovium appears most often in the coralloid or cotton-wool like form, Cartilage damage is commonly seen in knee joints of RA. The most serious damage of the cartilage is seen in the femoral medial condyle or lateral condyle. Partial or complete anterior cruciate ligament rupture can be seen in one proportion of knees. In most knees of RA, meniscus are torn or disappeared mostly or completely.

Objective To investigate the effects of different methods of preparation on the contents of nuzhenide and oleanolic acid in Ligustri Lucidi Fructus. Methods The same batch of Ligustri Lucidi Fructus was under preparation and process. RP-HPLC was used to determine the contents of nuzhenide and oleanolic acid in crude samples, wine-prepared samples, vinegar-prepared samples, and salt-prepared samples. Results The contents of nuzhenide were in the order as follow:salt-prepared samples (1.997 5%)>crude samples (1.600 7%)>wine-prepared samples (1.144 6%)>vinegar-prepared samples (0.894 6%). The contents of oleanolic acid were in the order as follow:wine-prepared samples (1.120 2%)>salt-prepared samples (0.924 6%)>vinegar-prepared samples (0.913 2%)>crude samples (0.899 8%). Conclusion Different methods of preparation have certain effects on the contents of nuzhenide and oleanolic acid in Ligustri Lucidi Fructus.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the in vitro antibacterial effect of Asi-antidiarrheal capsule a Chinese herbal compound on hyperthyroid diarrhea.METHODS It was determined by drug dilution method in test tube to determine Asi-antidiarrhea capsule.The compound positive control drug was diphenoxylate co.We made in vitro antibacterial test with 8 kinds of bacteria respectively.RESULTS Asi-antidiarrhea capsule had powerfully bacteriostatic action on Shigella dysenteriae,Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae(MIC31.25 mg/L).But diphenoxylate co contrally was less effective on S.aureus,Str.pneumoniae,Str.pyogenes and Sh.dysenteriae(MIC 0.25 mg/L).CONCLUSIONS Asi-antidiarrhea capsule can be used to hyperthyroid diarrhea.Meanwhile,it has powerfully antibacterial effect.It provides evidence of pharmacodynamics for healing infectious diarrhea in the future.

Objective:To explore the interaction between gossypol and human serum albumin ( HSA) . Methods:The interaction of gossypol and HSA under physiological conditions was studied by fluorescence spectroscopy, and the molecular docking software was used to simulate the interaction. Results:The binding constant of gossypol and HSA at 293K and 303K was 2. 390 6 × 105 L·mol-1 and 3. 576 8 × 103 L·mol-1 , respectively. There was one binding site on HSA for gossypol. Hydrogen bond and Van Der Waals inter-actions were involved in the binding process. The binding of gossypol and HAS was closer to tyrosine residue in HSA. The molecular simulation analysis verified the above results. Conclusion: The gossypol-induced fluorescence quenching of HSA belongs to a static quenching procedure.

Objective: Epithelial dysplasia of the esophagus and gastric cardia is precancerous lesion, including mild, moderate and severe levels. In 2000 year, WHO recommended to replace dysplasia with intraepithelial neoplasia. Mild and moderate dysplasia were classified as low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (LIN). Cardia adenocarcinoma was suggested to be called esophageal-gastric junction adenocarcinoma. The risk of cancer development and the rule of time evolution were detected in esophagus and esophageal-gastdc junction LIN in high incidence area of esophageal cancer in Northern China, in an effort to provide scientific data for the prevention of esophageal cancer. Methods: Between October 2001 and October 2002, two townships of Cixian were chosen to carry out endoscopic iodine staining screening cohort study. The total population aged 0-85 was 22,016, of which 6,596 aged 40-69 (3257 males and 3339 females). Except for thoese with contraindications and those who refused to join the study, 3,506 cases were finally recruited in the study, and the screening rate was 53.2%. According to WHO criteria of the pathological diagnosis, the esophageal squamous epithelium with mild and moderate dysplasia and esophageal-gastric junction with mild dysplasia were classified into LIN groups (including 616 cases). The control group contained a total of 2,478 cases without precancerous lesions and free of cancer in endoscopic screening. Results: From June to September in 2008, the cohort was followed up and 174 cases were lost, with a follow-up rate of 95.0%. Follow-up was 3,970.7 person- years in the LIN group and 16,120.0 person-years in the control group.Carcinomous conversion rates were 251.7 and 68.2/per 100,000 person- years respectively in the LIN group and the control group. The median time in the two groups was 38 and 47 months, respectively. Compared with that of the normal population, the relative risk (RR) of LIN was 3.69 (95% CI=1.57-8.69, P=0.001). Conclusion: Population with LIN are at high-risk for esophageal cancer and endoscopic examination every year is absolutely necessary.
