Objective To assess if there are differences in clinical features and prognosis of intersti-tial lung disease(ILD) between polymyositis(PM) and dermatomyositis(DM). Methods Medical records of 114 patients with PM/DM(31 PM-ILD, 83 DM-ILD) were reviewed retrospectively to analyze the demograph-ics , clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), pulmonary function tests (PFTs), blood gas analysis, treatments and prognosis. The differences of measured data were detected by descriptive statisitical analysis, and rates were detected by four-fold table Chi-Square test and Fisher′s exact test. Results The incidence of PM/DM-ILD was 35.8%(114/318) in this study, and DM was more prone to have ILD (χ2=5.019, P=0.025). There were significant difference in sex ratio between PM-ILD and DM-ILD(χ2=4.929, P=0.026). Arthralgia/arthritis was more common in DM-ILD than PM-ILD(χ2=7.756, P=0.005). In PM-ILD, ILD was often present before the diagnosis of PM (χ2=15.555, P<0.01),while it was opposite in DM-ILD(χ2=7.002, P=0.008). The frequency of anti-Jo-1 antibody was higher in PM-ILD than in DM-ILD(χ2=11.395, P=0.001). On HRCT, ground-glass opacity(χ2=7.940, P=0.005) and pericardial effu-
sion (χ2=6.322, P=0.012) were more frequently observed in PM-ILD, while patchy shadows were more frequent in DM-ILD (χ2=5.105, P=0.024). There was no difference in PFTs and blood gas analysis between the two groups. With the similar therapeutic regimen, the prognosis of DM-ILD was significantly worse than in PM-ILD (χ2=7.595, P =0.006). Conclusion There are significant differences in sex ratio, clinical manifestations, HRCT imaging findings, and prognosis between PM-ILD and DM-ILD. We propose that the difference in the immunopathological processes of PM and DM leads to different clinical features of ILD between PM and DM.

Objective To investigate the reverse effect and mechanism of the extracted solution of chinese medicine MBC on the drug-resistance of K562/ADM in vitro. Methods MTT assay was used to determine the IC50 of ADM on K562/ADM cell line and the reverse multiples of the drug-resistance before and after MBC treatment. Flow cytometry(FCM) was applied to assess the intracellular concentration of Rh123. Results 8?10 -1 ?g/ml MBC increased cytotoxic effect of ADM on 562/ADM cells, the reverse multiple was 6 28, and MBC could increase the intracellular concentration of Rh123. Conclusion MBC could increase killing effect of ADM on the drug-resistant K562/ADM cell and partly reverse the drug-resistance of K562/ADM cell.

Objective To improve the management of blunt pancreatic trauma, and to explore the strategy of preserving the pancreatic endocrine and exocrine function to the full extent. Methods 20 cases of blunt pancreatic trauma were reviewed and analyzed retrospectively. The methods of operative treatment were analysed. Results All patients were cured. Depending on the general condition, abnomial signs and main pancreatic duct(MPD) injuries at the time of admission, patients received immediate operation or nonoperative treatment. Because of severe peritonitis and demonstrated MPD injury, 10 patients underwent immediate operations, including simple drainage in 6 cases, distal pancreatectomy in 1 patient, external drainage of the injured pancreatic duct for the second operation in 3 cases. Without the demonstrated MPD injury or clinical deterioration, 10 patients received nonoperative treatment under strict observation initially. 3 patients completed the nonoperative course and 7 patients underwent delayed operations, including Roux-en-Y pancreatic cyst-jejunostomy in 3 cases, external drainage of pseudocyst in e cases, pancreaticoduodenectomy in 1 patient because of the expanded hematoma in pancreatic head. Conclusions Blunt pancreatic trauma could receive individual pancreas-preserving treatment, which could improve the operational safety, avoid the resection of pancreas and preserve the pancreatic endocrine and exocrine function to the full extent.

Objective To investigate the role of individualized and staged enteral nutrition in the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis(SAP).Methods The clinical data of 204 cases of SAP treated with individualized stage enteral nutrition in our hospital from January 2000 to March 2008 were retro-spectively analyzed, Results The liver function and serum lipid and diet returned to the normal level after the treatment.Pancreatic encephalopathy disappeared.The patients recovered and were dis-charged from the hospital with the extraction of feeding tube.Enteral nutrition was adjusted based on the monitoring results in the hospitalization period that brought less effect to the pseudocyst of pancre-as, and then discharged from the hospital with the feeding tube.The pseudocyst in 49 cases disap-peared spontaneously and it was cured with internal drainage for 3 months in other 32.The time of en-teral nutrition was 20-95 d.Conclusion Enteral nutrition is safe and necessary after the acute stage of SAP.To ensure the enteral nutrition to play a more important role in the treatment of SAP, we must pay more attention on the individualization and stage of enteral nutrition.

Objective To examine the cognitive function in healthy first-degree relatives (FDRs) of patients with bipolar Ⅰ disorder.Methods Cognitive function were studied in one hundred twenty healthy FDRs of patients with bipolar Ⅰ disorder and one hundred normal controls using digital symbol, digital span, visual reproduction, trail making test A (TMT-A) and trail making test B (TMT-B).Results Compared with normal controls, FDRs showed impairment in all indexes of the tests, including digital symbol, digital span (forward, reversed and forward + reversed), visual reproduction, TMT-A and TMT-B (t=-3.44、-4.23、-4.32、-4.98、-2.59、4.32、3.78, respectively, Ps≤0.01).By analysis of covariance (covariant: age and years of education), FDRs were still impaired in these indexes (P<0.05).Compared with sex-matched normal controls, male FDRs showed impairment in all indexes of the tests, but female FDRs only showed impairment in digital span (reversed, forward + reversed), TMT-A and TMT-B (P<0.05).Conclusions Attention, memory and executive function are impaired in healthy first-degree relatives of patients with bipolar Ⅰ disorder.

Objective To investigate the correlation between disease severity and pleural effu sion in patients with acute pancreatitis(AP).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on a prospectively collected database.The demographic,clinical,and laboratory data of 246 consecutive cases of AP in patients admitted to the Affiliated Union Hospital of Fujian Medical University between January 2008 to December 2012 were reviewed.Acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score and computed tomography severity index (CTSI) were used to evaluate the disease severity of AP.The relationship between the severity and pleural effusion was analyzed.Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to compare the values of APACHE Ⅱ score and CTSI in predicting the prognosis of patients with pleural effusion.Results Among the 246 patients,there were 184 patients with pleural effusion and 62 patients without pleural effusion.The incidence of pleu ral effusion in AP was 74.8%.Further study showed that the difference in the incidences of pleural effusion between the severe group and the mild group was significant (P<0.01).There was a trend that the more serious the patient's condition,the more the pleural effusion.Moreover,the levels of pleural effusion were significantly and positively correlated with the APACHE Ⅱ score (r=0.775,P<0.01) and CTSI (r=0.525,P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that the factors significantly associated with pleural effusion formation were a high APACHE Ⅱ score and a high CTSI.Areas under the ROC curve of the APACHE Ⅱ score,CTSI and combined assessment were 0.798,0.687 and 0.812 for predicting mortality of the patients with pleural effusion.Through comparison of the areas under the ROC curve,there was a significant difference between the APACHE Ⅱ score and CTSI as well as combined assessment and CTSI (P<0.05).Conclusions The disease severity was closely related to pleural effusion in patients with AP.Combining the two scoring systems to evaluate the disease severity and providing active treatment were important to improve the prognosis of patients with pleural effusion.
