Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic non-specific disease of the rectum and colon. The disease cause is still unclear. Due to the repeated episodes of UC, the treatment is very difficult. There are serious impact on pa-tients' life and work. According to the current UC condition and existed problems with Chinese medicine treat-ment and in combination with experiences of new Chinese medicine drug development of the author, a new Chi-nese medicine drug research idea of UC has been proposed. It includes the establishment of UC animal model in line with the characteristics of Chinese medicine and the selection of appropriate clinical treatment targets.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: To draw a normative database of laryngopharynx pH profile in Chinese subjects. METHODS: Normal volunteers were recruited from "www.Ganji.com" and People's hospital between May 2008 and December 2009. The Restech pH Probes were calibrated in pH 7 and pH 4 buffer solutions according to the manufacturer's instructions. Each volunteer was asked to wear the device for a 24-hour period and was encouraged to participate in normal daily activities. RESULTS: The healthy volunteers consisted of 20 males and 9 females with a median age of 23 years (interquartile range, 21 to 32 years). The 95th percentiles for % total times at pH < 4, pH < 4.5, pH < 5.0 and pH < 5.5 for the oropharynx pH catheter were 0.06%, 1.01%, 7.23% and 27.34%, respectively. The 95th percentile for number of reflux events within the 24-hour period at pH < 4, pH < 4.5, pH < 5.0 and pH < 5.5 were 2.0, 18.0, 107.5 and 284.5, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to systematically assess the degree of reflux detected by the new pH probe in healthy asymptomatic Chinese volunteers and to report normative values in Chinese people. Using an oropharyngeal pH catheter to monitor laryngopharyngeal reflux indicated that in healthy Chinese, reflux should be considered normal if the percent time at pH less than 4.5 is no more than 1%.

Objective The chief aim of the present work is to investigate features of sternum of Chinese adults and to establish the sex determination method to evaluate its effect based on 3D recombinant morphology indicators. Methods Based on chest spiral CT scans, 2D images of multi-level recombination and 3D model of volume rendering, the experiment concludes an sex determination equation from 8 measurement indicators of the sternum and 3 ratio indicators. The 8 measurement indicators include full-length, handle length, body length, maximum width of the handle, maximum width of the body, maximum thickness of the handle, maximum thickness of the body, and thickness of the upper body. Results According to the 11 indicators of sex differences in statistics (P<0.05), especially indicators of the full-length, body length, maximum width of the handle and maximum thickness of the body, the body's sex is easier to be determined. All indicators equations, length indicators discriminant equations and stepwise discriminant equations have higher reliable rate (88.6%) which was consistent with the recent foreign research reports. Conclusion The method of sex determination based on multislice spiral CT 3D recombinant techniques is practicable and has an relatively high accuracy. It is expected to be applied to researches in age estimation by sternum and other virtual bones.

The exact scales of volume and density of human internal organs were measured synchronously with the intelligentized volum-densimeter, which was made. by ourself. These primary values of normal and diffuse pathologic changes can refer easily and used for the diagnosis in human autopsy of pathology and forensic pathology. It is expectated to be co-operated widely in that the basic values of volume and density will be obtained from all organs of the human body with the population of different races. But up to now, we are still lack these primary values in anthropology and medicine.

Objective:To explore the significance of laboratory parameters in predicting the endoscopic manifestations of ulcerative colitis (UC) after treatment.Methods:From January 2015 to December 2020, the clinical data of 68 patients with UC hospitalized and treated in Peking University People′s Hospital were retrospectively and continuously collected. According to the degree of bleeding, vascular pattern, erosion and ulcer under endoscopy before and after treatment, they were divided into progressive group (post-treatment ulcerative colitis endoscopic index of severity (UCEIS) score higher than pre-treatment) and non-progressive group (post-treatment UCEIS score equal to or lower than pre-treatment). The baseline platelet count, platelet volume, platelet hematocrit, platelet distribution width, serum albumin, C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and related laboratory parameters were compared between the two groups. And analyzed the significance of related laboratory indexes in predicting the endoscopic manifestations of UC after treatment. Independent sample t test and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results:According to the degree of bleeding under endoscopy before and after treatment, the patients were divided into progressive group (12 cases) and non-progressive group (56 cases). The baseline platelet count and platelet volume of the progressive group were higher than those of the non-progressive group ((375.58±154.30) ×10 9/L vs. (288.22±103.76) ×10 9/L, (9.29±1.13) fL vs.(8.52±1.29) fL), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.40 and 2.08, P=0.019 and 0.049). According to the degree of vascular texture under endoscopy before and after treatment, the baseline platelet volume and serum albumin level of the progressive group (9 cases) were higher than those of the non-progressive group (59 cases) ((9.58±1.18) fL vs. (8.54±1.26) fL, (41.49±5.08) g/L vs. (36.63±6.14) g/L), and the baseline CRP of the progressive group was lower than that of the non-progressive group (2.26 mg/L(0.95 mg/L) vs.8.64 mg/L (26.08 mg/L) ), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.32, 2.32, and z=-2.27, P=0.022, 0.047 and 0.045). According to the degree of erosion and ulcer under endoscopy before and after treatment, CRP and ESR of the progressive group (16 cases) were lower than those of the non-progressive group (52 cases) ((2.21 mg/L(5.26 mg/L) vs. 10.63 mg/L(29.97 mg/L), 14.50 mm/1 h (15.25 mm/1 h) vs.17.00 mm/1 h (11.00 mm/1 h)), and the differences were statisticaly significant ( z=-3.64 and -2.42, P=0.001 and 0.020). The cutoff value of baseline platelet count to assess the progression of bleeding under endoscopy after treatment was 336×10 9/L (sensitivity=0.636, specificity=0.852, area under the curve=0.698). The cutoff value of baseline CRP to assess the progression of erosion and ulcer under endoscopy after treatment was 3.44 mg/L (sensitivity=0.750, specificity=0.727, area under the curve=0.727). Conclusions:The baseline platelet volume, serum albumin and ESR are suggestive of endoscopic mucosal changes in patients with UC after treatment. The baseline platelet count and CRP can predict the efficacy in patients with UC.

Objective:To treat the Crohn's disease(CD)patients with ustekinumab(UST),to eva-luate their clinical and endoscopic remission,and to evaluate their transmural response(TR)and trans-mural healing(TH)condition using intestinal ultrasonography(IUS).Methods:Retrospective analysis was made on patients diagnosed with CD in Peking University People's Hospital from January 2020 to Au-gust 2022,who were treated with UST for remission induction and maintenance therapy.All the patients were evaluated on both week 8 and week 16/20 after treatment,including clinical,biochemical indica-tors,colonoscopy and IUS examination.Results:A total of 13 patients were enrolled in this study,inclu-ding 11 males and 2 females.The minimum age was 23 years,the maximum age was 73 years and the mean age was 36.92 years.All the patients were in the active stage of disease before treatment,and the average Best Crohn's disease activity index(Best CDAI)score was 270.12±105.55.In week 8,the Best CDAI score of the patients decreased from 270.12±105.55 to 133.16±48.66(t=4.977,P＜0.001).Eight patients achieved clinical remission while 5 patients remained in the active stage.Nine patients underwent colonoscopy evaluation.The average simple endoscopic score for Crohn's disease(SES-CD)score decreased from 10.71±7.14 before treatment to 6.00±7.81(t=2.483,P=0.048)in week 16/20.Four patients achieved endoscopic remission while 5 patients did not.In week 8,5 pa-tients achieved TR,2 patients achieved TH,the other 6 patients did not get TR or TH.In week 16/20,6 patients achieved TR,3 patients achieved TH while the other 4 patients did not get TR or TH.There was no significant statistical difference in the TR effect of UST between small intestine and colon lesions(Fisher test,P＞0.999).The rate of UST transmural response in the patients who had had previous bio-logical agent therapy was lower than those with no previous biological agent therapy,but there was no sig-nificant statistical difference(Fisher test,P=0.491).Conclusion:After treatment of UST,the clinical and endoscopic conditions of the CD patients had been improved,and some patients could achieve clini-cal remission and endoscopic remission.UST had good TR and TH effects on CD.TR might appear in week 8,and the TR effect increased in week 16/20.There was no significant statistical difference in the TR effect between small intestine and colon lesions.TR effect of UST was better in the patients who had no previous biological agent therapy than those who had had other biological agents,but the result had no significant statistical difference.

Objective To evaluate the application value of absorbable hemostat textile as submucosal injection of endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD). Methods Twelve New Zealand rabbits were injected with absorbable hemostat textile solution,glycerol fructose and normal saline. The uplift effect was measured after injection. Simulated ESD was performed in the rabbit stomach and bleeding amount was measured. The injection site was pathologically examined at 30 minutes after the soluble hemostat textile and normal saline were injected. Fifteen pigs were injected with absorbable hemostat textile at two locations of 20-30 cm from the anus,and injected normal saline at another two locations of 20-30 cm from the anus.One site was performed simulated ESD and the other was not. Fifteen simulated ESD were performed in the soluble hemostatic group and the normal saline group, respectively. Operation time was recorded and difference in wound healing was compared between the two groups. Results In the uplift experiment, the absorbable hemostat textile group had higher uplift height(4.3±1.4 mm,4.1±1.9 mm,3.8±0.7 mm, 3.3±0.9 mm, respectively)at 0 min,10 min,20 min,30 min than that of the glycerol fructose group(4.3±2.2 mm,4.1± 2.0 mm,3.6±1.4 mm, 3.2±0.8 mm, respectively, P<0.05), and the glycerol fructose group was higher than that of the normal saline group(3.8±1.6 mm,2.6±1.4 mm,1.9±1.9 mm,1.1±0.7 mm, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in uplift height between the absorbable hemostat textile group and the glycerol fructose group(P>0.05). In the bleeding experiment, the bleeding amount of absorbable hemostat textile group was significantly less than that of the glycerol fructose group(0.36±0.07 mL VS 0.42±0.06 mL, P<0.05);the bleeding amount of glycerol fructose group was significantly lower than that of the normal saline group(0.42±0.06 mL VS 0.55±0.07 mL,P<0.05). There was no obvious tissue necrosis and other adverse complications in the absorbable hemostat textile group and the normal saline group. In simulated ESD experiment,complete resection rate of the absorbable hemostat textile group was higher than that of the normal saline group[86.7%(13/15)VS 46.7%(7/15), P<0.05], and mean operation time of the absorbable hemostat textile group was less than that of the normal saline group(3.2± 0.3 min VS 3.8± 0.5 min, P<0.05). No hemorrhage, perforations or other related adverse events occurred in non-ESD lesions. Conclusion Absorbable hemostat textile is safe and effective as submucosal injection of ESD.
