Objective To investigate the antibiotic resistance rate of Helicobacter pylori,and to provide reliable evidence of choosing optimal drugs for clinical therapy.Methods Overall 3304 patients were enrolled from February 2006 to March 2007 who accepted gastroscopy followed by Helicobacter pylori culture of the gastric mucosa from biopsy.The antimicrobial susceptibilities of Helicobacter pylori strains for six antibiotics including metronidazole,amoxicilin,gentamycin,levofloxacin,furazolidone,clarithromycin were observed by Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion test.Results 1171(35.4%)biopsy clinical specimens were proved to be Helicobacter pylori positive when cultured in vitro and identified by conventional assays.The metronidazole resistance rate(99.32%)of Helicobacter pylori was significantly higher than that of any of the other 5 antibiotics,and the levofloxacin resistance rate(0.51%)was the lowest.Furthermore there were no significantly change in the tendency of resistance rate for the two above antibiotics from February 2006 to March 2007.However,Helicobacter pylori was resistant to amoxicilin,gentamycin,furazolidone,clarithromycin,and the resistance rate was 61.06%、4.78%、21.35% and 39.45% respectively.Meanwhile,the resistance rates corresponding to four antibiotics were different obviously.Conclusions With the application of antibiotics for Helicobacter pylori eradication,the antibiotic resistance rate increased perceptibly.The rate of resistance to metronidazole appeared to be the highest among six antibiotics applied to clinical treatment.Drug susceptibility testing was valuable to eradicate Helicobacter pylori in clinical therapy.

Objective To investigate the effects of estrogen receptor alpha (Erα) gene polymorphism on the efficacy of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in female primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) treatment. Methods The polymorphism of Xba Ⅰ and Pvu Ⅱ sites in No. 1 Intron of Erαgene was detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism in 65 female patients with PBC. The patients were treated with UDCA tablets daily (13-15 mg·kg-1 · d- 1,divided for 3 times oral taking). The variations of patients' serum total bilirubin (Tbil), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), γ-glutamyle transpeptidase (GGT) were followed up totally for 24 months. Results Totally the complete follow-up data had been obtained in 60 patients. Four indicators of XX or PP type patients slowly declined till the end of follow-up point still had not reached the effective treatment standard. Four indicators of Xx type patients were also slowly declined, while the effective treatment standard was achieved till the end of follow-up. Four indicators of Pp/pp or xx type patients were rapid declined to the effective treatment standard. The effective rate of UDCA in PBC treatment was 75.0％ (45/60). The distribution difference of Pvu Ⅱ between the UDCA treating effective group and the ineffective group in PP, Pp, pp types patients and XX、Xx、xx types patients was statistic significant (x2 = 12.13、 P = 0.003 and x2 = 9.95 、 P = 0.007 respectively). The distribution difference of Xba Ⅰ between the effective group and the ineffective group with UDCA treatment in XX, Xx and xx types patients was also significant (P ＜0.05). The effective rate of Pp, pp, Xx, xx types patients [82.61％ (19/23)、80.65％ (25/31) 、9/14、83. 33％ (35/42) respectively] was higher than PP and XX types patients (1/6 and 1/4 respectively).Conclusion Erα gene polymorphism influenced the efficacy of ursodeoxycholic acid in treating primary biliary cirrhosis.

Oxyfedrine (Oxy ) exhibited inhibitory effect on washed rabbit platelet aggregation and MDA production induced by thrombin (4 U /ml) . The concentration of Oxy causing 50% inhibition of platelet aggregation induced by thrombin was 254 ?mol/L . Up to 2 nig/ml, acetysalicylic acid (ASA) could not antagonize platelet aggregation induced by thrombin 。 However, ASA 50 ?g/ml reduced the generation of MDA markedly. These results suggest that anti-aggregation of Oxy may be related to inhibition of PAF formation and the effect of Oxy on MDA generation may be due to the inhibition of arachi-donic acid release.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and adverse effects of brucea javanica oil emulsion combined with DP chemotherapy in treating advanced non-small-cell lung cancer.Methods Totally 48 patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer were divided into two groups randomly by mechanical sampling method.Twenty-four cases in treatment group were treated by brucea javanica oil emulsion combined with DP chemotherapy, while 24 cases in control group were treated by DP chemotherapy only.The clinical effects were evaluated after treatment of two cycles.Results The short-term effective rate was 54.2% (13/24) in treatment group and 45.8% (11/24) in control group, and there was no significant difference between two groups ( χ2 = 0.333, P = 0.564).The rate of increased and stable life quality was 87.5%(21/24) in treatment group and 58.3%(14/24) in control group,and there was significant difference between two groups (χ2 = 5.169,P = 0.023).The rate of increased and stable weight was 79.2% (19/24) in treatment group and 45.8%( 11/24) in control group, and there was significant difference between two groups (χ2 = 5.689,P = 0.017).The incidence of nausea or vomiting was 45.8% (11/24) in treatment group and 41.7%( 10/24 ) in control group, and there was no significant difference between two groups (χ2 = 0.085, P = 0.771 ).Compared with those in control group, patients in treatment group had less adverse effects in decreasing of peripheral blood leucocytes and showed better immune function.Conclusion Brucea javanica oil emulsion combined with DP chemotherapy in treating advanced non-small-cell lung cancer has good clinical effect, especially enhances the quality of life, improves immune function and decreases the adverse effects of chemotherapy.

Objective To investigate the antibiotic resistance trend of commonly used antibiotics of Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) in Huzhou district,and to summarize the efficacy of eradication in related digestive diseases.Methods In year 2009,2013,2014 and 2015,8 139 gastric mucosa samples of patients undergoing gastroendoscopy examination were collected and H.pylori strains were isolated and cultured.The situation of resistance to levofloxacin,clarithromycin,metronidazole,amoxicillin,tetracycline and furazolidone was analyzed.The infection and antibiotics resistance of H.pylori were analyzed in 11 digestive diseases including functional dyspepsia,chronic gastritis,acute gastritis,duodenitis,gastric ulcer,duodenal ulcer,gastrointestinal dysfunction,gastric cancer,residual gastritis,reflux esophagitis and gastric lymphoma.The eradication schemes and eradication rate of H.pylori was reviewed in six digestive diseases including functional dyspepsia,chronic gastritis,duodenitis,gastric ulcer,duodenal ulcer and reflux esophagitis.Fisher's exact test was performed to compare the differences among the groups.Results A total of 3 263 H.pylori strains were obtained and the infection rate of H.pylori was 40.09％ (3 263/8 139).The H.pylori infection rates of 11 digestive diseases were from 0 to 57.89％,and which was high in duodenal ulcer,gastric ulcer,duodenitis,chronic gastritis and functional dyspepsia (57.89％,726/1 254;49.83％,301/604;42.91％,118/275;37.45％,1 518/4 053 and 36.78％,146/397;respectively).The results of single antibiotic resistance analysis in six digestive diseases needed or planed for H.pylori eradication indicated that resistance rate of H.pylori to levofloxacin and clarithromycin reached 23.09％ (663/2 871) and 17.87％ (513/2 871),respectively.The resistance rate tolevofloxacin dramatically increased from 5.03％ (8/159) in 2009 to 28.24％ (586/2 075) in 2015;the resistance rate to clarithromycin increased from 12.58％ (20/159) in 2009 to 21.78％ (452/2 075) in 2015;meanwhile,the resistance rate of H.pylori to metronidazole was nearly 100.00％.However,the resistance rates to amoxicillin,tetracycline and tetracycline were all zero.The results of double antibiotic resistance analysis in six digestive diseases needed or planed for H.pylori eradication indicated that the rate of both levofloxacin and clarithromycin resistance was 7.73 ％ (222/2 871).The double antibiotic resistance rate of levofloxacin and clarithromycin in different diseases fluctuated between 4.82 ％ and 10.96 ％.Totally 1 479patients of six digestive diseases were treated with quadruple therapy,and 1 363 patients were followed up after eradication therapy,with the eradication rate of 85.99％ (1 172/1 363).Conclusions In Huzhou district,for six common digestive diseases needed or planed for H.pylori eradication,any combination of two drugs in all three drugs including amoxicillin,tetracycline and furazolidone is the first choice for treatment.Only when patients are allergic to penicillin or furazolidone and tetracycline can not be obtained,will levofloxacin and clarithromycin be chosen.A high eradication rate can be achieved by choosing eradication schemes according to the results of H.pylori drug sensitivity test in local region.

Objective:To monitor the blood pressure in pediatric patients with coarctation of the aorta (CoA) before and 8 years after surgery, and explore the mechanism of elevated blood pressure in pediatric patients with repaired CoA.Methods:A cohort of 23 pediatric patients who underwent CoA repair between January 2010 and October 2010 in Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center was studied. And 20 age-, sex-match patients with isolated ventricular septal defect (VSD) who underwent surgery at the same time, 20 age-, sex-match health patients with normal echocardiographic findings were included in the study. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), arm-leg SBP gradient, right carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), serum transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) were monitored at baseline(1 day before surgery) and 8-year follow-up (8 years after surgery).Results:There were no differences in SBP and DBP among patients with CoA, patients with VSD and health children at baseline ( P>0.05). But at 8-year follow-up, 2 patients with CoA exhibited hypertension. Not only that, patients with CoA had higher SBP than patients with VSD and health children at 8-year follow-up ( P<0.05). Patients with CoA had higher arm-leg SBP gradient than patients with VSD and health children at baseline ( P<0.01). But there were no differences in arm-leg SBP among patients with CoA, patients with VSD and health children at 8-year follow-up ( P>0.05). Patients with CoA had increased CIMT and higher serum levels of TGF-β1 at baseline and 8-year follow-up ( P<0.05). The preoperative levels of CIMT and serum TGF-β1 in the patients with CoA were highly positively correlated with their levels at 8-year follow-up, respectively ( P<0.01). There was a strong correlation between the levels of CIMT and serum TGF-β1 in patients with CoA, both preoperatively and postoperatively ( P<0.01). The preoperative and postoperative levels of CIMT and serum TGF-β1 in the patients with CoA were highly positively correlated with SBP at 8-year follow-up, respectively( P<0.05). Conclusion:Although surgery can successfully cure the anatomical " stenosis" , patients with CoA have elevated systolic blood pressure than normal people and patients with simple congenital heart disease (such as VSD). And some of the patients with CoA suffer from hypertension at long-term follow-up, even they are normotensive preoperatively. It may be related to vascular remodeling, in which TGF-β signaling pathway may be involved. Monitoring CIMT and TGF-β1 in patients with CoA preoperatively may be significative for prediction for the levels of SBP postoperatively.

Sishen Pills is a classic prescription for the treatment of spleen and kidney diarrhea,which has the effect of warming the kidney and the spleen,astringent intestine and antidiarrheal.In modern clinical application,the modified prescriptions based on Sishen Pills,combined with other treatments of TCM and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine are often used to treat ulcerative colitis with spleen-kidney yang deficiency syndrome,and the curative effect is remarkable.Experimental pharmacological studies have shown that Sishen Pills may achieve the purpose of ulcerative colitis by regulating the expression of related signaling pathway proteins,regulating inflammatory factors,inhibiting inflammatory response,regulating autophagy,regulating intestinal flora,improving intestinal mucosal permeability,repairing intestinal mucosal barrier,regulating cellular energy metabolism,anti-oxidative stress,regulating cellular immune function,etc.In this article,the research status of Sishen Pills in the treatment of ulcerative colitis was sorted out and summarized,in order to provide reference for further study of its mechanism and clinical application.

Objective:To evaluate the application of three‐dimensional(3D) rotational digital subtraction angiography(DSA) and three‐dimensional reconstruction technique in the interventional treatment of visceral artery aneurysm .Methods:A total of 25 patients with visceral artery aneurysm ,who underwent 3D rotational DSA and reconstruction before the interventional embolization treatment in the Department of Interventional Radiology ,Zhongshan Hospital ,Fudan University during Jan 2007 and Aug 2015 ,were selected .3D rotational DSA and reconstruction was performed by using Siemens Artis DTA or Philips Allura F20 DSA equipment ,and the results were compared with that of conventional 2D DSA .Results:There were 8 hepatic artery aneurysms ,10 splenic artery aneurysms ,3 renal artery aneurysms ,3 gastroduodenal artery aneurysms ,and 1 inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm among the 25 patients .The 3D rotational DSA procedures were successful in all patients , and the success rate was 100% .Anatomical morphology including the diameter ,neck and cavity of aneurysm was exhaustively demonstrated .A total of 30 aneurysms were diagnosed by 3D rotational DSA among the 25 patients .Among the 30 aneuryms , only 27 aneurysms were confirmed by conventional 2D DSA ,and the aneurysm necks of 15 aneurysms were not exhaustively demonstrated due to the anatomical overlapping of the large aneurysm cavity , or the vessel tortuosity . Conclusions: As compared to the conventional 2D DSA ,the 3D rotational DSA and reconstruction can demonstrate anatomical information of visceral artery aneurysms more precisely , especially the aneurysm neck , so as to provide more precise images for the interventional diagnosis and treatment .

Pathological mechanism of ulcerative colitis(UC)is not fully clear,which may be the result of Th17/Treg immune imbalance and the interaction of multiple complex factors.Numerous studies have found that classical TCM prescriptions,experienced formulas and TCM active components could regulate Th17/Treg balance by intervening in cytokines,transcription factors,and signaling pathways,restore intestinal mucosal immune function,suppress intestinal mucosal inflammatory response,and repair intestinal mucosal barrier damage.Based on the research status of UC,Th17/Treg balance and TCM treatment,this article reviewed the relationship between Th17/Treg balance and UC,and explained the key role of Th17/Treg balance in the occurrence and development of UC.At the same time,the Chinese materia medica targeting to regulate the balance of Th17/Treg in the treatment of UC in recent years was summarized,in order to provide reference for the treatment of UC.
