Objective To investigate the clinical effect and safety of compound glycyrrhizin combined with bozhi glycopeptide in treatment of erythema nodosum.Methods Sixty-four patients with erythema nodosum were divided into treatment group (36 cases) and control group (28 cases) by random digits table method.The patients in treatment group were given compound glycyrrhizin 120 mg,intravenous drip,once a day;and bozhi glycopeptide 4 ml,intravenous drip,once a day.The patients in control group were given compound glycyrrhizin 120 mg,intravenous drip,once a day.The clinical efficacy and recurrence were compared between 2 groups.Results The total effective rate in treatment group was significantly higher than that in control group [86.1％ (31/36) vs.57.1％ (16/28)],there was statistical difference (P ＜ 0.05).Follow-up for 3 months,the rate of recurrence in treatment group was significantly lower than that in control group [16.1％(5/31) vs.8/16],there was statistical difference (P＜ 0.05).Conclusion Compound glycyrrhizin combined with bozhi glycopeptide can effectively control the erythema nodosum,and has no significant adverse reactions,reduces the rate of recurrence,and it is worthy of promotion and application.

Objective To study the expression of double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR) in malignant melanoma and ordinary nevi. Methods The expression of PKR and proliferating cell nuclear antigen was examined in 42 cases of malignant melanoma and 25 ordinary nevi by an immunohistochemical method. Results The positive rate of PKR expression was higher in the patients with malignant melanoma than that in the patients with ordinary nevi (P

Subjective memory decline is one of the most common symptoms reported in the elderly,which is considered as a high-risk factor for dementia.This article presented an overview of an update of definition and epidemiology of subjective memory decline,reviewed its risk factors,and summarized neuroimaging changes in brain structure and function.Finally,some suggestions for future research were also proposed.

Objective: To explore the improvement rate of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection who received entecavir alone or in combination with anluohuaxianwan for 78 weeks. Methods: Patients with chronic HBV infection were randomly treated with entecavir alone or in combination with anluohuaxian for 78 weeks. Ishak fibrosis score was used for blind interpretation of liver biopsy specimens. The improvement in liver fibrosis condition before and after the treatment was compared. Student's t test and non-parametric test (Mann-Whitney U-Test and Kruskal-Wallis test) were used to analyze the measurement data. The categorical variables were analyzed by Chi-square test method and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was used to test bivariate associations. Results: Liver fibrosis improvement rate after 78 weeks of treatment was 36.53% (80/219) and the progression rate was 23.29% (51/219). The improvement of liver fibrosis was associated to the degree of baseline fibrosis and treatment methods (P < 0.05). The improvement rate of hepatic fibrosis in patients treated with anluohuaxianwan combined with entecavir at baseline F < 3 (54.74%, 52/95) was significantly higher than that in patients treated only with entecavir (33.33%, 16/48), P = 0.016 and the progression rate of hepatic fibrosis (13.68%, 13/95) was lower than that in patients treated alone (18.75%, 9/48), P = 0.466. In patients with baseline F < 3, the proportion of patients with improved and stable liver fibrosis in the combined treatment group (68.1%, 32/47) was higher than that in the treatment group alone (51.7%, 15/29). Conclusion Combined anluohuaxianwan and entecavir treatment can significantly improve the improvement rate of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection. Furthermore, it has the tendency to improve the stability rate and reduce the rate of progression of liver fibrosis.
