Premature ejaculation (PE) is a most common sexual dysfunction, for which dapoxetine, a novel selective serotonin (5-HT) re-uptake inhibitor (SSRI), is the only licensed oral medicine at present. With the advantages of fast absorption, rapid action, on-demand medication, and short half-life time, dapoxetine has been proved by clinical trials to be effective in prolonging the intravaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT) and improving the overall condition of PE patients in various areas and populations. Compared with the traditional SSRIs, dapoxetine has a better safety and tolerability. The most frequently reported dapoxetine-related adverse events include nausea, diarrhea, headache and dizziness, but with very few severe or serious cases.

Objective To investigate the genotype and gene mutation of hepatitis E virus isolated from the serum and stool samples of the patients with epidemic outbreak hepatitis E in certain recruit barracks of Guangzhou. Methods The reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed to amplify the partial ORF2 nucleotide acid sequences of hepatitis E virus isolated from 34 and 46 inpatients with epidemic outbreak and sporadic hepatitis E respectively. The PCR products of the positive samples were cloned and sequenced. Results The 14 strains, including 12 epidemic strains and 2 sporadic strains, were isolated from the total 80 inpatients. The homology of nucleotide acid and amino acid sequences of 12 epidemic outbreak strains is 95.3%～100% and 94.0% ～100% . The homology between epidemic outbreak strains and sporadic strains is 95.3%～99.3% and 94.0%～100%. Compared with the standard different genotypes of HEV, these strains have the highest homology to the Jap1 strain which belongs to genotype Ⅳ, with homology of 96.0%～100%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that these the nucleotide acid sequence homology of 92.0%～95.3% and amino acid sequence stains and Jap1 strain share the same cluster. Conclusion[KG1]Epidemic outbreak strains isolated from the patients in recruit barracks of Guangzhou belong to the genotype Ⅳ of HEV and the nucleotide acid sequences had partial mutation.

Objective To investigate the relationship of the serum bilirubin level with acute ischemic stroke (AIS), and Chinese isch-emic stroke subclassification (CISS), stroke severity and short-term outcome of AIS patients. Methods 616 patients with AIS as well as 664 patients without stroke matched with gender and age were compared and analyzed with the non-conditional Logistic regression. The AIS pa-tients were divided based on the CISS, and their bilirubin levels were compared. The AIS patients were divided into high bilirubin group and normal bilirubin group, their scores of the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) as admission and discharge, and neural func-tion improvement rate were compared. Results The levels of total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL) and indirect bilirubin (IBIL) were higher in the AIS group than in the control group (P<0.01), and the TBIL was the independent risk factors of AIS (OR=1.026, 95%CI 1.012-1.041, P<0.001). There was no significant difference of the levels of TBIL, DBIL and IBIL among the patients of CISS (P>0.05). The NIHSS score was higher in the high bilirubin group than in the normal bilirubin group as admission (P<0.05), but it was not significant as discharge (P>0.05), nor the rate of neural function improvement (P>0.05). Conclusion The serum bilirubin level elevated and correlated with the severity in the AIS patients, which might be the risk of pathogenesis and AIS. The bilirubin was not various with the CISS, and might be less involved in the short-term outcome of AIS.

Objective To detect γ-secretase gene mutations in a large Chinese pedigree with acne inversa (AI).Methods Clinical evaluation was carried out in a large pedigree with AI through field investigation.Peripheral blood samples were obtained from 17 family members (11 affected and 6 unaffected) and 100 unrelated healthy human controls.DNA was extracted from the blood samples,and PCR was performed to amplify all the coding regions of PSEN 1,PSENEN and NCSTN genes followed by DNA sequencing analysis.Results There were 67 members over 5 generations in this family,of whom,25 (13 males and 12 females) were affected by AI.AI was inherited in an autosomal dominant manner in this family.Skin lesions were mainly distributed on the neck,back,chest and buttocks,and occasionally in subaxillary regions.DNA sequencing revealed a novel missense mutation,c.1258C＞ T (p.Q420XP),in the exon 11 of the NCSTN gene in 11 affected family members,which leads to a substitution of glutamine by a premature termination codon at amino acid 420 (p.Q420X).The mutation was undetected in either the unaffected members or the unrelated healthy controls,and had not been registered in the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) database in National Center for Biotechnology Information.Conclusions There is a novel heterozygous missense mutation,c.1258C ＞ T in the exon 11 of the NCSTN gene,which may be the molecular basis of pathogenesis of AI in this family.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of butyl phthalide capsules combined with Xueshuantong injection in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction (ACI). Methods: Cochrane Library, Medline, Embase, SCI, CBM, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang databases were searched from the building time to May 2016. The enrolled randomized controlled trails were studied by using Cochrane system evaluation methods to perform methodological quality assessment, and RevMan 5. 2 software was used to carry out Me-ta-analysis. Results:A total of 7 randomized controlled trails including 640 patients were enrolled. The results of Meta-analysis dem-onstrated that the effective rate of butylphthalide capsules combined with Xueshuantong injection was superior to that of Xueshuantong injection (RR=1. 33, 95%CI:1. 16-1. 52, P<0. 0001), butylphthalide (RR=1. 45, 95%CI:1. 15-1. 83, P=0. 002) and blank control (RR=1. 31, 95%CI:1. 08-1. 57, P=0. 005). NHISS of butylphthalide capsules combined with Xueshuantong injection was higher than that of Xueshuantong injection (MD=4. 63, 95%CI:3. 38-5. 87, P<0. 00001) and blank control (MD=6. 85, 95%CI:4. 90-8. 80, P<0. 00001). There was no significant difference in adverse drug reactions. Conclusion: Butylphthalide capsules combined with Xueshuantong injection is effective for the therapy of ACI. However, due to the limited quantity and quality of the in-cluded studies, larger scale trials are needed.

Objective To explore the correlation between the serum levels of fibrinogen (FIB), C-reactive protein (CRP) and homocysteine (Hcy) with the carotid vulnerable plaque in patients with large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) stroke.Methods The patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) admitted to the Department of Neurology in The Second Hospital of Lanzhou University from Mar. 2014 to Feb. 2015 were collected continuously, and 273 patients with anterior circulation of LAA stroke were selected based on the TOAST classification. These patients were classified as non-plaque group (n=84), stable plaque group (n=42) and vulnerable plaque group (n=147) according to the carotid ultrasonography examination. Another 182 patients without carotid disease of non-stroke selected simultaneously from our department were regarded as controls. The 19 demographic parameters and hematological indices were compared among the four groups. The logistic regression was used to screen the independent risk factors for carotid vulnerable plaque in LAA stroke patients. The Spearman rank correlation was performed to analyze the correlation between the carotid plaque vulnerability in LAA stroke patients with all the indicators.Results The levels of FIB, CRP and Hcy in the four groups showed statistically signicantcant differences (P<0.05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that FIB (OR=1.408, 95% CI 1.028-1.927,P=0.033) was the independent risk factor for carotid vulnerable plaque in patients with LAA stroke. The Spearman correlation analysis presented a positive correlation between carotid plaque vulnerability in LAA stroke patients with FIB (r=0.292;P=0.000) and Hcy (r=0.172;P=0.000). Conclusions The serum FIB and Hcy levels may be the meaningful biomarkers to predict the vulnerable carotid plaque in patients with LAA stroke. The serum level of CRP has no obvious correlation with carotid plaque vulnerability in LAA stroke patients.
