Objective To analyze the characteristics of gastroesophageal junction(GEJ) in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) using high resolution manometry (HRM),and the features in different GERD subtypes,reflux esophagitis (RE) and non-erosive gastrooesophageal reflux disease (NERD).Methods Sixty GERD patients were divided into two subtypes,RE (n =33) and NERD(n =27),based on the results of endoscopy.All patients received HRM,and were divided into three subtypes,type Ⅰ,type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ according to the GEJ pressure morphology.HRM results among different subtypes were investigated.Results In 60 GERD patients,the GEJ was divided into three subtypes,including 26 cases of type Ⅰ (RE =14,NERD =12),29 cases of type Ⅱ (RE =14,NERD =15) and 5 cases of type Ⅲ (RE =5).The characteristics of GEJ morphologic subtypes were analyzed.The total length of lower esophageal sphincter(LES) of three GEJ subtypes(type Ⅰ,type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ) were (3.35 ± 0.56) cm,(3.29 ± 0.87) cm and(2.43 ± 0.22)cm,respectively.The LES intra-abdominal length of three GEJ subtypes were(2.41 ± 0.68) cm,(3.07 ± 4.59) cm and (0.00 ± 0.00) cm,respectively.The LES rest pressure of three GEJ subtypes were (22.00 ± 8.00) mmHg,(16.46 ± 8.60) mmHg and (11.07 ± 5.80) mmHg,respectively.The total length of LES were significantly different among three subtypes (P ＜ 0.05).The LES rest pressure were not significantly different among three subtypes (P ＞ 0.05).Among type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ patients,there were no significant difference in LES-CD distance,total length of LES,LES intra-abdominal length and LES rest pressure between RE group and NERD group.Conclusion HRM can clearly distinguish the GEJ subtypes.To some extent,esophageal motility characteristics of the patients with different subtypes GEJ is various.However,it still needs further studies with larger sample size to confirm.

Objective To evaluate the application value of dermoscopy in the diagnosis of genital condyloma acuminatum (CA) in men.Methods A total of 122 warts from 66 male patients with suspected genital CA were firstly diagnosed by experienced dermatologists according to macroscopic morphological characteristics of lesions and clinical history of patients.Afterwards,the warts were examined and diagnosed by dermoscopy,and the two diagnosis results were compared with histopathological findings.Results Of 122 suspected warts,100 were diagnosed as CA by naked-eye examination,112 as CA by dermoscopy and 114 as CA by pathological examination.When histopathological findings served as the gold standard,dermoscopy had a sensitivity of 97.4％ and a specificity of 87.5％,and naked-eye examination had a sensitivity of 87.7％ and a specificity of 100％.Under dermoscopy,most male genital warts were pink (98/114,86.0％) and papillary (98/114,86.0％),and had distinct vascular characteristics (107/114,95.5％),which mainly included pleomorphic vessels (102/114,89.5％) and punctate vessels (98/114,86.0％).Conclusion CA has characteristic structures under dermoscopy,so dermoscopy can be used for the diagnosis of genital CA in men.

Objective To learn the current capacity building of emergency response teams in Tianjin for the purpose of goals setting.Methods Health Emergency Capacity Questionnaire was issued to 89 secondary and above medical institutions and 19 CDCs in Tianjin.The form covered such items as basic institutional information, workforce makeup, emergency preparations, detection and early warning, emergency response, and summary/assessment.Data collected in the questionnaire were subject to descriptive and correlation analysis.Results Tianjin has scored an initial success in emergency medicine as evidenced in its emergency response mechanisms in place, elevated capacity in emergency medical rescue and disposal, and enhanced competence of emergency teams.Rooms of improvement however include insufficient professionalism and independence of health emergency, inadequate emergency commanding and decision making system functions, insufficient laboratory test capacity at district/county levels, and insufficient social involvement in health emergency.Conclusions Top-down design should be emphasized, health emergency response should be enhanced in terms of management and response planning system, while capacity building of the teams and long-term primary care emergency mechanism deserve higher attention.

Objective:To detect the effect of pulse radiofrequency (PRF) treatment on the neuropathic pain established by L5-spinal nerve ligation (SNL) on rats,and to investigate if PRF treatment would affect the expression of autophagy related protein LC3 and autophagy related receptor P62 at the dorsal horn.Methods:A total of 36 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:a Sham group,a SNL group,and a SNL+PRF group.The 50％ paw withdrawal mechanical threshold (PWMT) was detected at 1 day before and 1,3,7,14 and 28 days post-operation by using Von-Frey filaments.The autophagy related protein LC3 and autophagy related receptor P62 were investigated by Western blot.Results:Compared with the Sham group,the PWMT significantly decreased in the SNL group at each time points (P＜0.05);in SNL+PRF group,PRF treatment could elevate the PWMT at the 1st day post-operation and lasted for 28 days (P＜0.05).What's more,SNL could elevate the LC3-Ⅱ and P62 levels at the 7th day post-operation (P＜0.05),which were decreased by the PRF treatment (P＜0.05).Conclusion:PRF treatment could improve SNL-induced the neuropathic pain,which might be partly due to the regulatory effects on the autophagy levels at the spinal dorsal horn.

Method: The effect of inhibiting proliferation and inducting apoptosis of UPPS were determined by means of MTT and FCM. The expression of Bcl-2 and Bax proteins was immunohis to chemcally evaluated after treatment of UPPS. Results: UPPS inhibited HepG-2 cells growth in vitro , significantly higher than the negative control group (P

γ-glutamyltranspeptidase was detected from the cultured mycelia of Cordyceps sinensis (CSGT). Km and Vmax of CSGT was 2.54×10-4 mol/L and 0.1808 mol/L·min respectively when L-glutamic acid 5-(4-nitroanilide) (GpNA) and glycyglycine was used as its substrate. CSGT was stable from pH 8.0 to 11.0 and at or below 20℃. It was optimally active at pH 9.0～10.0 and 30℃. A series of reducing reagents could activate CSGT, and metal cations such as Zn2+, Cu2+, Hg2+ , Mn2+ inhibited strongly activity of the enzyme, but K+, Ca2+, Mg2+ and Na+ at high concentrations had no effect on its activity, indicating that its active center could contain -SH.
