Objective To investigate the relationship between helicobacter pylor (Hp) and primary carcinoma of the gallbladder (PCG), providing a theoretical basis for the treatment of PCG.Methods Mucosa and bile of gallbladder samples were collected from 18 patients with PCG (PCG group), 40 patients with chronic cholecystitis or cholelithiasis (CC group), and 20 patients with no PCG and CC (control group). 16S rDNA-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by DNA sequence analysis of the obtained PCR fragments was performed. A developed search for Hp was also carried out by PCR. Five genes specific for Hp were amplified. Results In the PCG group, 81% samples of mucosa and bile were positive for Helicobacter-specific 16S rRNA gene. The positive rate in PCG group was significantly higher than those of the CC group (50%) and the control group (20%).Of the 16S rDNA sequence of Helicobacter pylori positive samples of mucosa and bile, 52% of samples were positive in cagA, 86% were positive in 26 KDa, 48% were positive in ureA separately. The vacA and rps4 genes were never detected in any of the samples of mucosa and bile. At least one gene was positive in 93% of samples of musca and bile. The sequencing showed more than 99% homology of Helicobacter 16S rRNA in PCG and Hp groups. Conclusion A higher infection rate is present in bile and gallbladder mucosa from patients with PCG. Hp in the biliary system may be one of the risk factors for occurrence of PCG.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of etanercept in the treatment of active ankylosing spondylitis ( AS) with enthesitis and explore an easy and accurate scoring method.MethodsWe designed this 12-week double-blind,placebo-controlled,randomized clinical study in active AS patients.The first part was a 6-week placebo-controlled period that patients received etanercept or placebo,followed by a 6-week open-label period that all patients received etanercept. At week 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,the scores of enthesitis were recorded.The primary efficacy endpoint was the Mander Index in the two groups. We compared the Maastricht AS Enthesis Score ( MASFS) index,Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada ( SPARCC) index,Berlin index and San Francisco index with the Mander Index. Results A total of 127 patients were included with 92 in the etanercept group and 35 in the placebo group.In etanercept group there were 25,41,47 patients without enthesitis at week 2,4,6 separately. At week 12,more than 70% patients' enthesitis in two groups turned negative.The primary endpoint,as the Mander Index at week 6,was achieved by 0(0,2) score in the etanercept group compared with 1 (0,3) score in the placebo group (P =0.0286). Among the four Indexes.the San Francisco Index was the one most COrrelated with the Mander Index.Conclusion Etanercept can improve the symptoms of enthesitis fast and significantly. In clinics,the San Francisco Index is easier to operate and more accurate for assessment.

Objective To investigate the variation of interleukin-6 ( IL-6 ) , vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),E-selectin and intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1)in children with sepsis and the clinical significance. Methods This was a prospective and control study. Thirty-two children diagnosed as sepsis in PICU from December 2008 to December 2009 served as the sepsis group. According to whether there was a shock, sepsis group were divided into shock subgroup and no shock subgroup. Fifteen healthy children served as control group. The serum levels of IL-6,VEGF,E-selectin and ICAM-1 were detected with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Results The serum level of IL-6 was 65. 00(30. 49~237. 14) ng/L in shock subgroup and 48. 68(30. 25~75. 00) ng/L in no shock subgroup,which were significantly higher than that in control group[0. 80(0. 60 ~1. 00) ng/L](P<0. 05). There was no significant difference between shock subgroup and no shock subgroup. The serum levels of VEGF and E-selectin showed no significant differences among the three groups. The serum level of ICAM-1 was 998. 72(666. 93~1 526. 44) ng/ml in shock subgroup,and 925. 71(683. 53~1 225. 12) ng/ml in no shok subgroup,which were significantly high-er than that in control group[660. 59(525. 48~685. 47) ng/ml]. Compared with those who survived in sep-sis group,the serum levels of VEGF and E-selectin in the died children with sepsis showed no significant difference,but IL-6 and ICAM-1 significantly increased(P<0. 05). Conclusion IL-6 and ICAM-1 increase greatly and accentuate inflammation in septic patients,the changes of which may help to determine the prog-nosis of sepsis.

Objective To explore the variation of insulin like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and glucose and correlation in children with sepsis. Methods Forty-two children with sepsis in pediatric intense care unit were enrolled from January 2009 to January 2010. In the morning (2nd morning) after admission, the blood glucose, serum IGF-I, cortisol, insulin, IL-6, and IGF-binding protein-I (IGFBP-1) were detected. In the 3rd and 5th morning, the serum IGF-1 was detected again. According to the blood glucose level of the 2nd morning, the children with sepsis were divided into hyperglycemia group and normal group. Meanwhile, 60 healthy children were served as control group. The data had been compared among three groups. Results In the 2nd morning, the levels of blood glucose, serum IGF-I, cortisol, insulin, and IL-6 were signiifcantly different among three groups (all P<0.05), but the serum IGFBP-I was not signiifcantly different (P>0.05). Compared with control group, the sepsis children with hyperglycemia and with normal blood glucose all had signiifcantly higher serum levels of cortisol and IL-6, and signiifcantly lower serum level of IGF-I. In the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th morning, the serum levels of IGF-1 were not signiifcantly changed with time in sepsis children with hyperglycemia and with normal blood glucose (all P>0.05). Meanwhile, there were no signiifcant differ-ences in the serum levels of IGF-1 between sepsis children with hyperglycemia and with normal blood glucose in the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th morning (all P>0.05). In children with sepsis, the blood glucose and serum IGF-1 was not correlated in the next morning (r=0.152, P=0.267). Conclusions The serum level of IGF-I decreased but maintain stable in children with sepsis. The change of blood glucose may be not related with IGF-I.

Investigation of simvastatin and its related substances was carried out using a reversed phase ultra performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry method. The identification of impurities in simvastatin was performed with a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer, with an electrospray ionization (ESI) source in the negative/positive ion mode. A total of 12 compounds were characterized in commercial samples, among which 2 impurities had never been reported. All the impurities were deduced based on the MS fragment pathways of simvastatin and the biosynthetic pathway of lovastatin. This work provides very useful information for quality control of simvastatin.
