Objective To investigate the efficacy of flupentixol and melitracen(Deanxit) in treatment of non-erosive reflux disease(NERD) and non-responding to proton pump inhibitor. Methods Fifty eight NERD pa-tients were randomly divided into two groups, the treatment group (n = 29) and control group (n = 29). Patients in control group were given esomeprazole 40 mg qd. Patients in the treatment group were given the same drug plus Deanxit 1 Tab qd. The clinical effect was evaluated and scored by Hemihon Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) after 4 weeks. Results The total efficacy rate of the treatment group was higher than control group (P < 0.01),and HAMA was lower in the treatment group than in control group (P < 0.01). Conclusions Adjuvant treatment of Deanxit combined with esomeprazole is effective to NERD patients who did not respond to proton pump inhibitor, can greatly improve anxious disorders.

The treatments for ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are still not effective, which partially due to its unclear patho?genesis. Interleukin (IL)-23/IL-17 axis is a significant immunologic pathway which has attracted much attention in the past few years. This article reviewed the role of IL-23/IL-17 axis in genetic and immunological pathogenesis of AS, and intro?duced the recent progresses in treatments of AS using anti-IL-23 or anti-IL-17 antibody. The important role of IL-23/IL-17 axis in the pathogenesis and treatment of AS indicates its potential use as a new therapeutic target.

ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors of early postoperative complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy.MethodsThe clinical data of 159 patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy from March 2005 to October 2010 was analyzed retrospectively.The related factors of early postoperative complications were analyzed.ResultsThe incidence rate of early postoperative complications was 30.8％ (49/159).Univariate analysis showed that preoperative fasting blood glucose level,total serum bilirubin level,serum albumin level,high density lipoproteins level and intraoperative bleeding were closely correlated with early postoperative complications in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (P ＜ 0.05),but gender,age,preoperative jaundice,history of diabetes mellitus,operation time and whether portal vein reconstruction were no significantly associated with early postoperative complications in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (P ＞ 0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that preoperative fasting blood glucose level( ≥6.1 mmol/L),total serum bilirubin level ( ≥ 171 μ mol/L) and serum albumin level( ＜ 35 g/L) were the important independent risk factors of early postoperative complications in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy.ConclusionThe risk factors of pancreaticoduodenectomy should be fully recognized and dealt with promptly.

Objective To study the mechanism of male infertility. Methods Forty sperms from 8 normal males as control and 60 sperms from 12 males with infertility were observed by SEM.The ultrastructure of acrosomes was analyzed and compared. Results Spermatozoa with obscure ringed rips in infertile group acounted for 66.7%(40/60),serrate 65.0%(39/60);but in control group,the proportions were 10.0 % (4/40) and 5.0%(2/40),respectively.The ratios of acrosome to head in infertile group were ( 70.0 ?8.0)%,greater than controls (57.7?6.4)%.The ratios of acrosome membrane which was not intact were 70.0%(42/60) in infertile group and 22.5%(9/40) in control group.Acrosomes with rough surface were 68.3%(41/60) and 20.0%(8/40) respectively in the 2 groups;Acrosomes with particles adhesive to the surface were 65.0%(39/60) and 27.5%(11/40) respectively. Conclusions Abnormal acrosome structure is one of the causes of male infertility.

Objective To study the metabolic characteristics of temporal lobe injury during the radiotherapy in the elderly with nasopharyngeal carcinoma through 1H- magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). Methods The 15 aged and 23 young cases among 80 cases with nasopharyngeal carcinoma confirmed clinically and receiving radiotherapy for the first time were involved in the same period of July 2006 to May 2009. Conventional MRI scanning and bilateral temporal MRS were performed before and during radiotherapy at radiation dosages of 20 Gy, 40 Gy, and 60 Gy respectively. The spectroscopy morphology and the ratios of the three main metabolites were compared and analyzed. Results The values of N-acetylasparate (NAA)/creatine (Cr) was lower and choline-containing compound (Cho)/Cr ratio was higher in aged group than in young group before radiotherapy (P＞0.05). The spectroscopy morphology stepped down, NAA, Cho, NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr and NAA/Cho decreased to some extent along with the adding of radiation dosages in the course of radiotherapy. At the end of radiotherapy, the decreased amplitude of NAA/Cr value was larger in aged group than in control group (P＜0.01), and the amplitude of Cho/Cr value was lower than other group. Conclusions The neurons of aged patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma have a weak tolerance to the radiation, brain injury occurs earlier and heavier in aged patients than in young patients. It is necessary to prevent neuron injury early.

Objective To identify the influencing factors for pediatric nursese' reporting of adverse events at 3A hospitals in Beijing. Methods Adopting the random sampling of ten 3A hospitals with pediatric wards in Beijing and conducting an questionnaire survey of some nurses in those hospitals. Results The possibility of adverse events reporting increased with the awareness of adverse events which was related with their severity. Except for title, educational background, length of service, position and past experiences were not associated with the barriers. The major perceived barrier was fear of colleague relationship brokenup and some other undesirable consequence. Conclusions Better training of awareness of adverse events and changes of the punitive culture by the roots as well as some regulation or policy were the major solutions to improve incident reporting.

Objective To investigate the correlation of nuclear factor‐κB (NF‐κB) with metabolic syndrome(MS). Methods A total of 240 subjects living in rural areas of Ningxia were enrolled in this study and divided into two groups :MS group (n= 120 ) and healthy control group (n= 120 ). The relationship of NF‐κB with MS was evaluated by t‐test ,partial correlation and conditional logistic regression analysis. Results Whole blood NF‐κB protein level was significantly lower in MS group than in control group [(352.31 ± 307.35) vs (441.00 ± 345.10) ng/L ,P<0.05]. Whole blood NF‐κB protein level was significantly lower in male ,Han nationality ,and 45~55 years old patients of MS group than in control group (P<0.05). Partial correlation analysis showed that NF‐κB was associated with BMI (β=-0.146 ,P=0.025) .Conditional logistic regression analysis showed that whole blood NF‐κB protein was a protective factor for MS (OR=0.91 ,95% CI:0.72~0.98 ,P<0.05). Conclusion The blood NF‐κB level is associated with MS.
