Objective:To compare the efficacy and adverse reactions of omeprazole and pantoprazole in the treatment of patients with peptic ulcer bleeding. Methods: Totally 362 cases of peptic ulcer bleeding were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group with 181 ones in each. The control group was treated by omeprazole 40mg in 0. 9% sodium chloride injection 100ml, ivd, bid, and the observation group was given pantoprazole 80mg in 0. 9% sodium chloride injection 100ml, ivd, bid. The treatment course was 3-6 days. The times of vomiting and melena, bleeding situation and bleeding stopping time in the two groups were observed and recorded, and the clinical efficacy, adverse drug reactions during the treatment and the expense of the two groups were also compared. Results:The bleeding amount on the first and third day in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0. 05), the average bleeding stopping time and the average times of black stools and vomiting in the observation group were also significantly lower than those in the control group(P < 0. 05). The effective rate of the observation group was 92. 27%, that of the control group was 90. 61%, and the difference was not statistically significant (P >0. 05). The average daily cost of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P <0. 05). The difference in the incidence of adverse drug reactions of the two groups was not statistically significant (P > 0. 05). Conclusion:The efficacy of omeprazole and pantoprazole in the treatment of peptic ulcer bleeding was similar with high security. However, pantoprazole may reduce the times of vomiting and melena, shorten the bleeding time and decrease the treatment cost.

The chemical constituents of Vaccinium bracteatum were studied by means of macroporous resin, ODS column chromatography and preparative HPLC. Eleven compounds were isolated from this plant. By using ESI-MS and NMR, the structures of the eleven compounds were determined as 10-O-trans-p-coumaroyl-6alpha-hydroxyl-dihydromonotropein (1), 10-O-cis-p-coumaroyl -6alpha-hydroxyl-dihydromonotropein (2), vaccinoside (3), 10-O-cis-p-coumaroyl monotropein (4), isolariciresinol-9-O-beta-D-xyloside (5), tectoridin (6), vicenin-3 (7), quercetin-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnoside (8), quercetin-3-O-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (9), quercetin-3-O-beta-D-galactopyranoside (10), and quercetin-3-O-beta-D-glucuronide (11), respectively. Compounds 1 and 2 are new, and compounds 4, 6 and 7 are isolated from the genus Vaccinium for the first time.

Objective To observe the changes of blood sugar following use of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) in patients with severe burn. Methods A total of 140 patients with severe burn but with no history of diabetes were randomly and equally divided into Group A ( 18-44 years old) and Group B ( ≥45 years old) according to WHO criteria. Then, two groups were randomly divided Group B0 (treated with normal saline), 35 patients per group. Change of blood sugar and amount of insuline for control of blood sugar were observed and analyzed. Results Of 140 patients in four groups,128 patients accomplished the test, with no statistical difference upon general conditions between groups (P ＞0.05 ). Within four weeks after test, the amount of insuline used for control of blood sugar was (2908.0 ± 153.5) IU and (724.1 ± 31.1 ) IU respectively in Groups A1 and A0, (3725.9 ± 88.4) IU and (801.8 ±22.2) IU respectively in Groups B1 and BO. The results showed that the patients needing insulin to control blood sugar in Group B were more than that in Group A ( P ＜ 0.01 ). The time for blood sugar recovering to normal range in patients with high blood sugar with no use of rhGH in Group A1 and Group B1 was (5.21 ±0.64) d and (5.03 ± 1.01) d respectively (P＞0.05). Conclusions The blood sugar of patients with severe burn will rise after use of rhGH. The age of the patients is positively correlated with changes of blood sugar. Standard use of rhGH does not induce diabetes.

Objective To investigate whether oral administration of probiotics can reduce complications induced by interventional therapy in patients with primary hepatic carcinoma and liver cirrosis.Methods Two hundred and sixty four patients with primary hepatic carcinoma and liver cirrhosis who underwent transarterial chemoembolization(TACE) were randomly divided into two groups.and patients in experimental group were given probiotics but not in control group.Shoa-term clinical manifestations.liver functions,blood routine and pain scores were compared between two groups.Results On the day 3 after therapy,the incidence of abdominal distension and constipation in experimental group were less than that in control group(x2=18.22 and 55.22,P=0.000);On the day 7 after therapy,the incidence of abdominal distension,constipation and infection in experimental group were less than that in control group(x2=5.35,13.5 and 19.14,P=0.021,0.000 and 0.000).There were no significant difference in other clinical manifestations,liver function,blood routine and pain scores between the two groups. Conclusion Oral administration of probiotics can reduce the incidence of some short-term complication induced by interventional therapy in patients with hepatic carcinoma and liver cirrhosis.

Objective To determine the in vitro effects of the traditional Chinese medicines, berberine, matrine and baicalin, on the proliferation and lipid synthesis of human immortalized sebocyte SZ95, and to investigate their possible mechanisms of action on sebaceous glands at the cellular level. Methods Inverted microscopy was used to observe cell morphology and determine toxic concentrations of the compounds. The MTT method was adopted to examine the effects of different concentrations of berberine, matrine and baicalin on SZ95 cell proliferation after 24 h, 48 h and 72 h of incubation. Lipid contents in the SZ95 cells were labeled with Nile red and analyzed by flow cytometry. Results The toxic concentrations were 1?10-3 mol/L, 1?10-4 mol/L, 1?10-3 mol/L for baicalin, berberine and matrine, respectively. Berberine reduced sebocyte proliferation in a dose- and time-dependent manner, with an inhibitory concentration 50 (IC50) of 2.9?10-5 mol/L and 1.4?10-5 mol/L after 48 h and 72 h of incubation, respectively. When the concentration of matrine was 0.05). Lipogenesis of SZ95 cells showed a 26.9% increase with 1?10-3 mol/L matrine. Conclusions Our results indicate that berberine and baicalin can inhibit proliferation and lipid synthesis of SZ95 sebocytes in vitro, which suggests a possible clinical role in treating acne.

Objective To explore the expression and significance of let-7a2 in lung adenocarcinoma.Methods To adapt technology of realtime PCR with reference of U6, the expression of let-7a2 in tumor tissues and normal tissues was detected in 15 cases of resected lung adenocarcinoma. The laboratorial data were analysed by measure of 2~(-△△CT) method. The analysed data were managed by statistics. Results The expression of let-7a2 in lung adenocarcinoma tissue was significantly lower than that in lung normal tissue (0.8733±0.4821 vs 2.4527±1.0111). This difference possess markedness significance(t=6.816, P<0.001).Conclusion The expression of let-7a2 in lung adenocarcinoma is obviously lower and is concerned with the course of lung cancer evolution.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) and its receptor CC chemokine receptor-2 (CCR-2) in coronary atherosclerosis plaques between sidden coronary death (SCD) and non-SCD. Methods The expression levels of MCP-1 and CCR-2 in SCD group, coronary atherosclerosis group (non-SCD), control group (normal coronary artery) were detected by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Positive rates of MCP-1 among the three groups were 78%, 47%, and 0%, respectively, with significant expressing differences between each two groups (P<0.05). Positive rates of CCR-2 among three groups were 72%, 47%, and 0%, respectively, with significant expressing differences between the SCD group and coronary atherosclerosis group as well as between the SCD group and control group (P<0.05), but with no significant expressing difference between coronary atherosclerosis group and control group (P>0.05). CONCLUSION Overexpression of MCP-1 and CCR-2 in coronary atherosclerotic plaques is closely correlated with SCD.
