Objective To evaluate the role of the combination of angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB)and angiotensin corwerting enzyme inhibitor(ACEI)in functional protection and long-term survival of renal allograft. Methods Thirty-two renal transplant recipients without diabetes mellitus,whose albuminuria concentration in 24-hours collection was more than 0.5 g/d or serum Cr concentration was higher than 177 mmol/L,were randomly divided into experimental group(n=23,male 9 and female 14 cases,mean age 40 years)and control group(n=9,male 5 and female 4 cases,mean age 35 years).Combination of ARB(Valsartan,80rag Qd)and ACEI(Benazapril,20 mg Bid)theraPy was given to each patient every day for 3 years in experimental group.The recipients in control group never received this administration.The serum Cr concentration,albuminuria in 24-hours collection and survival of renal allograft were compared between the 2 groups after 3 years. Results There was significant difference(P＜0.05) of serum Cr concentration between experimental group and control group(252.2±117.9 mmol/L VS 375.3±203.0 mmol/L),especially for chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN)patieats(282.4±147.3 mmol/L vs 528.7±107.8 mmol/L,P＜0.01).There was no difference (P＞0.05)in terms of the values of alburninuria(1.0±0.6 g/d vs 1.3±0.7 g/d)and survival of renal allograft(76 months VS 71 months)after 3 years between 2 groups.Comclusion The administration of ARB+ACEI could protect function of renal allograft with different pathological changes especially for CAN.

Esophageal submucosal hematoma is rarely seen in clinical practice and its clinical presentations are untypical.Gastroscopy might injure the esophageal mucosa and cause bleeding.Computed tomography had the advantages of quick examination and formation of imaging,as well as non-invasiveness,which is helpful for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the esophageal submucosal hematoma.The clinical data of 9 patients with esophageal submucosal hematoma who were admitted to the Yueqing People's Hospital,the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University,the First Affiliated Hospital of the Zhengzhou University and the Third People's Hospital of Wenzhou from July 2005 to February 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.The features of computed tomography examination of esophageal submocosal hematoma include the range of the esophageal submucosal hematoma exceeds 2 parts of the esophagus,the rip of the esophageal mucosa begins and ends at the physiological narrowing of the esophagus,thickening of the esophageal wall,stricture of the esophagus,annular thickening and eccentric thickening of the esophageal wall,crescent,spot or gas shadows of the esophageal cavity,the density of the hematoma decreases as the time passed by.These features of computed tomography are of great importance for the diagnosis of esophageal submucosal hematoma.

Objective To analyze clinical and laboratory features, viral load and viral shedding period of patients with mild or severe H1N1 influenza A infection. Methods Seventy mild cases and 16 severe cases with concurrent pneumonia were included from Shcnzhen area for analysis.Nasopharyngeal-swab specimens of patients were collected and viral load was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay during their hospitalization. The viral load and viral shedding period were compared between patients over 14 years old and less than 14 years old, and between 70 mild cases without pneumonia and 16 severe cases with pneumonia. The statistic analysis was performed using t test and chi square test. Results The most common symptoms and signs of the patients were fever, cough and enlargement of tonsils. However, the severe cases suffered more frequently from cough, dyspnea and high fever compared with the mild cases (x2 = 10. 9 and 14.3, respectively, t=3.65; both P＜0.01 ). The levels of white blood cell (WBC) count and alanine arninotransferase (ALT) of severe patients were both significantly higher than those of mild patients(t= 3.2, 2.4,respectively; both P＜0.05). The chest radiology of the severe cases showed interstitial pneumonia,mostly with ground glass image. The viral load of patients under 14 years was significantly higher than those over 14 years [(4.86± 1.23) lg vs (4. 17±0.89) lg; t=2.3, P＜0.05], and the viral shedding period of patients under 14 years was significantly longer than those over 14 years [(5.33±0. 49) d vs(3. 63±0.28) d; t=3.4, P＜0.01]. The severe patients also displayed significantly higher viral load and prolonged viral shedding period than the mild patients [(6. 36±1. 44) lg vs (4. 35±0.99) lg, t=6.1,P＜0.01; (5.75±1.77) d vs (4. 24±1. 96) d, t=3.2, P＜0.01]. Conclusion Age anddisease severity of patients with H1N1 influenza A infection are significantly associated with viral load and viral shedding period.

Objective To estimate the application value of a standard operating procedure (SOP) in the detection of syphilitic anticardiolipin reagin. Methods Clinical laboratories from 9 local hospitals in Shanghai participated the program. Quality control samples with unknown target value were qualitatively and quantitatively examined according to the uniform SOP in these laboratories with the same reagent and facility of horizontal reaction. External quality assessment (EQA) was carried out by using seven serum samples with no, or low (1∶ 128 dilution) to high (1∶1 dilution) concentrations of target before and after the implementation of SOP. The test results were statistically analyzed and the reasons for the detecting error were assessed. Results A total of 388 tests were performed in the 9 clinical laboratories. The total accuracy rate was 93.0%, including 40.2% in the detection of samples with 1 ∶ 8 dilution of target, 49.2% in the detection of samples with 1 ∶ 16 dilution of target, and 3.6% in the detection of samples with 1 ∶ 32 dilution of target. No forward bias was observed in these tests. There was a significant difference in the accuracy rate between the two times of EQA before and after the implementation of SOP (x2 = 4.17, P < 0.05). Conclusions The improved standard procedure for nontreponemal antigen test is beneficial to the decrease of testing error, and may provide a basis for the establishment of SOP and implementation of internal quality assessment.

Objective: To explore the relationship between childhood sexual abuse (CSA) experience and sexual behavior among female nursing students and to provide a scientific reference for intervening sexual behavior for female nursing students. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 2 549 female students majoring nursing from four medical schools (one is a medical college and the other is medical junior college) by self-administered questionnaire. A questionnaire survey regarding demographic information, childhood sexual abuse, sexual behavior was conducted and multi-factor Logistic regression method was used to analyze the effect of childhood sexual abuse in different stages made on their sexual behavior. Results: Among 2 549 female nursing students, 143(5.6%) reported having had sexual intercourse, 141 reported having had sexual intercourse with the opposite sex, 6 reported having had sexual intercourse with the same sex, and 4 reported having sexual intercourse with both sexes. The report rate of sexual behavior of nursing students in undergraduate colleges (6.8%) was lower than that of junior college (3.9%), the second-grade nursing students reported the highest rate of sexual behavior (7.8%), the lowest in first grade (4.0%). Nursing students in good relationship with parents reported lowest rate of sexual behavior(P<0.05). Compared to those who had not experienced CSA, students who had experienced contacting or no-contacting CSA reported a higher percentage engaged in sexual intercourse(P<0.05). CSA in all types and different stages in childhood associated with higher risk of sexual intercourse among nursing students(P<0.05). Conclusion Childhood sexual abuse shows significant impacts on sexual behaviors during young adulthood, which warrants further attention to promote physical and mental health of college students.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between childhood maltreatment and quality of life (QOL) in nursing girls in Anhui Province, so as to provide reference for improving QOL of nursing girls. Methods: The stratified cluster sampling method was used to select students of grade 1 to 3 in nursing major from 2 colleges and 2 specialized colleges by self-administered questionnaire in Anhui province. The questionnaire was conducted to analyze the relationship between childhood abuse and neglect and QOL of female nursing students. Multiple linear regression model was used to assess the associations between childhood maltreatment and QOL. Results: Among 2 549 female nursing students, the mean scores of 4 dimensions of QOL were physical (12.85±2.01), psychological (13.86±2.40), social relationship (12.83±2.84) and environment (13.37±2.21). The scores of QOL among college students were higher than specialized college students, high grade students were higher, and those who have a good relationship with their parents were higher(P<0.01). The prevalence rates of childhood physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, physical neglect, and emotional neglect were 4.9%, 10.6%, 7.3%, 6.7% and 4.1%, respectively. The scores of QOL were lower among female nursing students with childhood maltreatment than those without childhood maltreatment(P<0.01). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the number of childhood abuse and neglect were negatively correlated with physical, psychological and environmental dimension of QOL, and the number of childhood maltreatment were significantly dose-responsive to quality of life(P<0.05). Conclusion The female nursing students are still greatly neglected, and the experience of childhood maltreatment is negatively related to the quality of life among female nursing students.

Objective To study the clinical efficacy and safety of endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation (EPLBD) in the treatment of common bile duct (CBD) stones.Methods This retrospective study of EPLBD for CBD stoneswas conducted between May 2015 and March 2017 on 116 patients.The patients were divided into two groups based on the different methods of treatment:group A (the EPLBD group) and B(the EST + EPBD group).Results Treatment with EPLBD when compared with EST + EPBD produced similar outcomes with regard to the overall stone removal rates (96.2％ vs.93.5％,P ＞ 0.05) and complete ductal clearance in one session (92.6％ vs.92％,P ＞0.05).There were no significant differences in the rates of overall complication (22.2％ vs.22.2％,P ＞ 0.05),hemorrhage (7.4％ vs.11.3％,P ＞ 0.05),post-ERCP pancreatitis (9.3％ vs.6.6％,P ＞ 0.05) and acute cholangitis (5.6％ vs.8.1％,P ＞0.05).When compared with EST + EPBD,mechanical lithotripsy was performed less in the EPLBD group (16.6％ vs.27.4t％,p ＜ 0.05).Conclusions EPLBD was an effective and safe method to treat CBD stones.EPLBD reduced the use of mechanical lithotripsy when compared with EST + EPBD.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), tissue type plasminogen activator (t-PA), and endothelin-1 (ET-1) on the atherosclerosis progress in the maintenance hemodialysis patients. METHODS: We enrolled 19 patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) and 11 healthy people as control. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to their age above or below 40 years old (11 and 8 in each, respectively), whereas the subjects in control group were below 40 years old. All the clinical information of the research subjects was collected: including age, gender, time of hemodialysis, blood pressure, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and serum creatinine (SCr). Immunohistochemistry and pathological image analysis were used to investigate the pathological changes, calcification and the expression of PAI-1, t-PA, and ET-1 on the blood vessel. RESULTS: Compared with the age-matched healthy control group, there were higher blood vascular media thickness, blood vascular media thickness/diagmeter ratio, blood vascular media thickness area/vascular inter-wall area ratio (P<0.05) and more calcification (P<0.05) in the the internal iliac artery in the chronic renal failure MHD patients. All the results were similar when compared the above 40 years old group with the below 40 years old one in the chronic renal failure MHD patients. There were positive correlation of blood vascular media thickness with age and blood pressure (P<0.05). Expression of PAI-1, ET-1, t-PA on the internal iliac artery vessel was elevated in the chronic renal failure MHD patients compared with the health control (P<0.05). The level of PAI-1 or ET-1 was much higher in the above 40 years old group than the below 40 years old one in the chronic renal failure MHD patients, whereas there was no significant difference in the t-PA expression between the 2 groups (P<0.05). There were positive correlation of PAI-1 or ET-1 expression with age and blood pressure (P<0.05). There were positive correlation of PAI-1 or ET-1 expression with blood vascular media thickness and calcification (P<0.05 or P<0.01). There was no correlation of hemodialysis time with blood vascular media thickness, calcification, PAI-1, t-PA, or ET-1 expressions. CONCLUSION MHD patients accompany with atherosclerosis which is severer in the patients above 40 years old than the patients below 40 years old. The higher of the blood pressure, the severer of the atherosclerosis. Abnormal expression of PAI-1 plays an important role in the progress of the atherosclerosis in the chronic renal failure MHD patients, whereas t-PA has no function in this process. The level of PAI-1 and ET-1 would be helpful to evaluating the degree of atherosclerosis in the chronic renal failure MHD patients. Hemodialysis time may not be a potential accelerator for atherosclerosis progression.
