Objective To systematically review the efficacy of ilaprazole in duodenal ulcer by Meta analysis.Methods Randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing ilaprazole with other proton pump inhibitors in duodenal ulcer were searohed for Meta analysis.Results Six RCT met the inclusion criteria and 1319 patients were included.Meta analysis showed that the healing rate at 4-week in the dose of ilaprazole 10 mg/d was higher than that in control group [ 89.1％ (591/663 ) vs.86.4％ (426/493) ],but there was no significant difference (P＞ 0.05 ).When including high-quality literature,English literature,Chinese literature,or the literature using omeprazole as control,there was no significant difference either (P ＞ 0.05 ).The adverse rate in the two groups had no significant difference [ 9.7％ (64/663) vs.12.6％ (62/493)] (P ＞0.05 ).The 4-week healing rate between the doses of ilaprazole 5 mg/d and 10 mg/d had no significant difference [84.7％(138/163) vs.84.0％(131/156)](P＞0.05).Conclusions Ilaprazole has high healing rate for duodenal ulcer,with low adverse rate.The effect of the dose ot5 mg/d is comparable to 10 mg/d.

Objective To compare the efficacy of different dose esomeprazole-based triplen therapies for Helicobacter pylori (Hp)eradication. Methods Two hundred and forty Hp-infected patients were randomly assigned to undergo high-dose (40 mg) or low-dose (20 mg) esomeprasole combined with clarithromycin (500 mg) and amoxicillin (1g) twice a day for one week. Hp eradication test was performed at 4 weeks after the end of treatment to evaluate the response to therapy. Results One hundred and fourteen patients were followed up in high-dose patients, and 104 were Hp eradication. One hundred and thirteen patients were followed up in low-dose patients, and 101 were Hp eradication. There was no significant difference in eradication rate of intention-to treat analysis and per protocol analysis between high-dose and low-dose patients [86.7%(104/120) vs 84.2% (101/120) and 91.2% (104/114) vs 89.4% (101/113), P>0.05]. There was no significant difference in the rate of adverse effect between high-dose and low-dose patients (8.3%(10/120)vs 6.7%(8/120), P>0.05). Conclusion It demonstrates that low-dose esomeprazole-based triple therapy has a similar Hp eradication rate compared with high-dose esomeprazole-based therapy in China.

Objective To investigate the concentration of 17β-estradiol in bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) and different tissues of rats, and study the function of estradiol produced in extragonadal sites prelimi-narily. Methods (1) The concentration of 17β-estradiol in lysate of BMSCs and in supernatant cell culture media were detected by Elisa method after rats BMSCs were serum-free cultured in 0 h , 24 h and 48 h respective ly . (2) The tissues of organs were grinded and broken under ultrasonic wave , then washed and weighed. The con-centration of 17β-estradiol in different tissues was detected by Elisa method. Results Compared with the concen-tration of 17β-estradiol at 24 h, the concentration of 17β-estradiol at 48h significantly increased (P < 0.05). The concentration of 17β-estradiol among different tissues were higher, but the difference is not significant (P > 0.05). Conclusions (1) 17β-estradiol can be secreted by BMSCs , and the concentration is proportional to the time to some degree. But whether the extragonadal estrogen can function locally is still unclear. (2) The concentration of 17β-estradiol is non- gonad dependent but whether it is secreted locally remains to be elucidated. The non- gonad estrogen could be the estrogen source of bone metabolism in order to sustain bone health after menopause.

Objective To investigate the effects of human cytomegalovirus ( HCMV) persistent in-fection on the central nervous system of BALB/c mice.Methods Thirty specific-pathogen-free mice of 6-8 weeks old were randomly divided into three groups including HCMV infected group , inactivated HCMV group and human embryo fibroblast ( HF) control group .Each mouse in the three groups was intraperitoneally inoc-ulated with 1.8 ×107 PFU of HCMV, 1.8 ×107 PFU inactivated HCMV and 1 ×105 HF cells, respectively. All mice were housed in microisolator cages for three months and their behavior and body weight were ob -served.Then three tests including autonomic activities test , Morris Water Maze and step-down passive avoid-ance task were performed on all mice to evaluate the changes of their behavior .Cerebral cortex tissues were collected from all mice to detect HCMV and to conduct polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis.Brain tis-sues were stained by HE method to evaluate the pathological damages .Transmission electron microscope was used to observe the ultrastructure of neuron cells and the existence of virus particles .Results (1) The body weight of mice showed no significant differences among the three groups ( P>0 .05 ) .( 2 ) The frequency of autonomic activities were decreases in HCMV infected group in comparison with other two groups , but there was no significant differences among the three groups (P>0.05).(3)The place navigation test demonstra-ted that the escape latency of mice from HCMV infected group as well as HF group showed significant differ -ence after training for different periods of time (P<0.05).The escape latency of mice with HCMV infection was much longer than that of other two control groups (P<0.05), but the differences between two control groups were not significant (P>0.05).Compared with the mice in two control groups , the mice in HCMV infected group showed a lower frequency of crossing the quadrant where the platform had been located on pre -vious trials in the probe trial test (P<0.05).Moreover, the time of first crossings was also longer than that of mice from two control groups (P<0.05).(4)In the learning phase the mice from HCMV infected group showed a high frequency of mistakes in comparison with that from two control groups in step -down passive avoidance task (P<0.05).After 24 hours, the frequency of mistakes was decreased in each group , and the differences were significant (P<0.05).The latency was very shorter in mice from HCMV infected group than that observed in two control groups (P<0.05).(5)The HCMV infection was identified in six mice from HCMV infected group .And the positive HCMV UL83 gene could be only detected in HCMV infected group as indicated by PCR analysis .(6)The pathological changes including cell swelling , loosen cytoplasm, decreased cell layers and vacuolization were observed in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus of mice from HCMV infected group .HCMV-specific intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies and herpes virus like particles were detected by using transmission electron microscope .No obvious abnormalities were observed in two control groups.Conclusion HCMV persistent infection could damage the central nervous system of mice .The au-tonomic activities of mice with HCMV persistent infection were not affected , but the learning and memory ca-pability of them were damaged at some extent .

The highest level was seen in ST 1 mg/L group ( P

BACKGROUND:High-quality and efficient umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells could be obtained by establishing and improving the method to avoid fungal contamination and by effectively decreasing pol ution rate of isolated culture during umbilical cord col ection. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of amphotericin B on growth and differentiation potential of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells. METHODS:Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells were separated from healthy ful-termed delivery fetus using col agenase digestion method and treated with amphotericin B. Subsequently, umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells were amplified and cultured in vitro with MesenPRO RSTM medium. The third passage of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells in logarithmic phase was obtained to analyze their morphology, proliferation and immunophenotype, and induced to differentiate into osteoblasts and adipocytes in vitro. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After treatment with amphotericin B, umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells were successful y isolated and cultured in vitro. Flow cytometry results revealed that human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells strongly expressed CD44, CD105 and CD73, CD90, and negatively expressed HLA-DR, CD29, CD31, and CD34. Amphotericin B-treated human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells can stil differentiate into adipocytes and osteoblasts in vitro.
