Objective:To explore the hemodynamic and comfort effect of modified prone-flexed position in complexity renal calculi patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy.Methods:A total of 82 cases of complexity renal calculi patients who undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy were recruited and randomly assigned to experiment group (41 cases) and control group (41 cases). Patients in the control group were placed in conventional prone position, while in the experiment group were placed in modified prone-flexed position. The data include blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, saturation of blood oxygen were recorded at preoprative, lithotomy position, change position 30 minutes after operation and postoperative. The General Comfort Questionnaire (GCQ) score was recorded in patients for postural comfort. The clinical data was also compared between two groups.Results:There was no significant difference in blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, saturation of blood oxygen between experiment group and control group ( P>0.05). Compared to (44.95±4.80) min, 90.2% (37/41) of the control group, the patients in the experiment group was (47.80±6.71) min, 73.2% (30/41), which showed a shorter average operation time and higher total stone clearance rate, the differences were statically significant ( tvalue was 2.216, χ2value was 3.998, P<0.05). At immediately and 30 minutes after operation, the skin pressure were 9 cases and 4 cases in the experiment group, 18 cases and 11 cases in the control group, the differences were statically significant ( Zvalues were 2.132, 2.038, P<0.05). After 48 hours of surgery, the physical subscale and totl GCQ score were (13.32±1.40) and (78.56±4.65) pionts in the experiment group, significantly higher than (12.17±1.41), (75.76±5.16) pionts in the control group, the differences were statically significant ( tvalues were 3.685, 2.584, P<0.01 or 0.05). Conclusion:Modified prone-flexed position can shortern operation time decrease the risk of pressure injury and demonstrate better postural comfort of patients with complexity renal calculi undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

Compounds with serotonin reuptake inhibition/5-HT(1A) dual activity were used to build 3D pharmacophore model as a training molecules by Discover Studio. Based on the model, 8 novel aryl piperazine benzo[b][1,4] oxazine derivatives were designed and synthesized, and their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR and HR-MS. Biological evaluation illustrated that compounds VI(1) and VI(7) showed potent functional activities at both 5-HT transporter and 5-HT(1A) receptor, which can be used as lead compounds to guide future research of design and synthesis of potent novel compounds.

Objective: To elucidate the functions of peripheral blood NK cells in chronic hepatitis B patients treated with interferon. Methods: Venous whole blood samples were obtained from patients in the immune clearance (IC) phase treated with peg-interferon-alpha-2a (Peg-IFNα-2a) at baseline (t=0), 12 weeks (t=12) and 24 weeks (t=24). The frequencyies of peripheral blood CD3^-CD56⁺ NK cells, CD56^brightNK cells and CD56^dimNK cells, the expression level of IFNAR2 and NKp46 on NK cells were detected by flow cytometry. The levels of serum HBV DNA, HBsAg, HBeAg and ALT were detected by Ditan Hospital clinical laboratory. Results: Forty-one patients in the IC phase treated with Peg-IFNα-2a, including 21 poor response (PR) patients and 20 good response (GR) patients, were recruited for this study. Theresult were as follows: The frequency of peripheral blood CD3^-CD56⁺ NK cells was increased at week 24 in GR compared with the baseline(11.74, 5.69%-18.15% vs 13.7, 9.36-20.18%, P>0.05), and it also was increased in PR(8.94, 6.26%-14.15% vs 12.5, 7.64-16.55%, P>0.05). The frequency of peripheral blood CD56^brightNK cells was increased at week 24 in GR compared with the baseline(9.49, 6.2%-12.48% vs 12.98, 7.75%-20.93%, P>0.05), and it also was increased in PR(11.45, 8.27%-19.13% vs 17.52, 12.3%-22.42%, P=0.0239). The expression level of NKp46 on NK cells was significantly increased at week 24 in GR compared with the baseline(90.55, 83.8-94.78 vs 93.8, 92.28-96.4, P=0.0263), but it was not increased in PR(95, 90.6-96.15 vs 94.3, 92.1-95.6, P>0.05). The expression level of NKp46^high on NK cells was significantly increased at week 24 in GR compared with the baseline(12.4, 8.58-19.08 vs 39.3, 23.15-49.3, P=0.0011), at that range of the increase was significantly higher than PR(14.2, 9.78-17.65 vs 27.58, 19.13-36.56, P=0.006). Conclusions The frequencies of peripheral blood CD3^-CD56⁺ NK cells and CD56^brightNK cells were increased from patients in the IC phase treated with Peg-IFNα-2a. The expression level of NKp46 on NK cells was increased in GR patients treated with Peg-IFNα-2a. The expression level of NKp46^high on NK cells was significantly increased, especially in GR patients treated with Peg-IFNα-2a.

Objective: To study the factors associated with efficacy of nucleos(t)ide analogues with sequential interferon in HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. Method: HBeAg positive CHB patients treated with nucleoside analogue (NA) treatment received PEG-IFN α-2a 180 μg subcutaneously once weekly.NA was continually used with PEG-IFNα-2a during the first 12 weeks. HBsAg/HBeAg level and HBV DNA load were observed in the sequential pre-treatment (baseline) period, 12 th, 24 th, 36 th, 48 th and 72 nd weeks of sequential therapy in all patients. Result: Of the 56 HBeAg-positive CHB patients, 5 (23.1%) achieved HBsAg loss/seroconversion, the baseline HBsAg level in HBsAg loss/seroconversion group was lower than that of the patients in the group that did not achieve HBsAg loss/seroconversion (2.750 lg IU/ml vs. 3.699 lg IU/ml, t=0.955, P=0.000); the difference was statistically significant in HBsAg decreased at the 12 th, 24 th, 36 th, 48 th week in the course of sequential therapy (0.913 vs 0.149, 2.847 vs 0.189, 4.378 vs 0.248, 4.587 vs 0.274 lg IU/ml) (t=-2.950, P=0.040; t=-8.732, P=0.009; t=-8.483, P=0.001; t=-8.214, P=0.003); 11(19.6%) achieved HBeAg loss/ seroconversion, the HBeAg baseline level in HBeAg loss/seroconversion group was lower than the patients in the group that not achieved HBeAg loss/seroconversion (1.217 lgS/CO vs 1.884 lgS/CO, t=2.061, P=0.044); the difference was statistically significant in HBsAg, HBeAg decreased at 24 th, 36 th, 48 th week in the course of sequential therapy between the two groups (1.330 vs 0.205, 2.084 vs 0.258, 1.972 vs 0.284, lg IU/ml; 1.168 vs 0.455, 1.363 vs 0.461, 1.177 vs 0.447, lg S/CO) (t=2.238, P=0.049; t=2.619, P=0.025; t=2.278, P=0.048); (t=2.273, P=0.043; t=3.415, P=0.001; t=2.271, P=0.049). Conclusions To HBeAg-positive CHB, lower baseline HBsAg, HBeAg level and HBsAg, HBeAg decreased earlier were could predict easier achievement of HBs(e)Ag loss/seroconversion.

Objective: To study the factors associated with efficacy of nucleos(t)ide analogues with sequential interferon in HBeAg negative chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. Methods: HBeAg negative CHB patients with NA treatment received PEG-IFNα 2a 180 μg subcutaneously once weekly. NA was continually used with PEG-IFN 2a during the first 12 weeks. HBsAg level and HBV DNA load were observed in the sequential pre-treatment (baseline), 12th, 24th, 36th, 48th, 72nd and 96th weeks of sequential therapy in all patients. Results: Of the 26 HBeAg negative CHB patients, 6 (23.1%) achieved HBsAg loss/seroconversion. The comparison between HBsAg loss/ seroconversion group and the group not achieved HBsAg loss/ seroconversion showed that the baseline HBsAg level in HBsAg loss/seroconversion group was 2.210 log₁₀IU/ml, was lower than (t=-4.252, P=0.000) HBsAg-positive patients (3.385 log₁₀IU/ml) in the groupp that not achieved HBsAg loss/seroconversion, the difference was statistically significant in HBsAg decreased at 72^nd, 96^th week in the course of sequential therapy (3.511 vs. 0.723log₁₀IU/ml, 4.291 vs. 0.737 log₁₀IU/ml) (t=6.712, P=0.000, t=13.319; P=0.000, 0.00); the difference was not statistically significant in age, gender and NA therapy time between the two groups; 12 (46.2%) of patients achieved sustained virologic response (SVR), the baseline of HBsAg level was 2.575 log₁₀IU/ml, was less than (t=-4.319, P=0.000) the patients who did not achieve SVR (3.576 log₁₀IU/ml), the difference was statistically significant in HBsAg decrease of each time in the course of sequential therapy between the two groups (0.612 vs. 0.088, 1.192 vs. 0.107, 1.566 vs. 0.167, 1.817 vs. 0.176, 2.424 vs. 0.193, 2.188 vs. 0.014, log₁₀IU/ml) (t=3.109, 4.717, 4.500, 4.544, 5.560, 4.265, P=0.008, 0.010, 0.001, 0.001, 0.000, 0.003), the difference was not statistically significant in gender and NA therapy time, the difference was statistically significant in age (30.8 vs. 39.9 years) ( t=-2.219, P=0.038). Of 9 CHB patients whose baseline HBV DNA were positive, 5 patients (55.6%) had HBV DNA loss after sequential treatment, the patients whose HBV DNA loss with HBsAg decreased at 12^th week in the course of sequential therapy, but there was no influence in the HBsAg decrease/loss after 12^th week, the difference was not statistically significant in age, gender, NA therapy time, HBsAg and HBsAg decrease in the course of sequential therapy between HBV DNA-negative and HBV DNA-positive groups. Conclusions To HBeAg-negative CHB, patients with low baseline HBsAg (2 log10 IU/ml level) and significantly lower HBsAg decrease early were more likely to receive SVR. Among them, prolonged interferon therapy is easier to achieve HBsAg loss/seroconversion.

Objective: To observe the changes of peripheral blood picture of CHB with Peg-IFN, and explored the relationship between the changes and decline of HBV DNA, clearance of HBsAg. Methods: Patients with CHB treated with Peg-IFN α-2 a in the Second Division of Liver Disease in Beijing Ditan Hospital were monitored for blood routine examination and Liver function, kidney function, thyroid function of baseline and weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, and weeks 12, 24, and 48 after the end of treatment for chronic hepatitis B, and HBV DNA, HBsAg. Results: The decrease of peripheral blood cells began to occur at week 2 of treatment. For CHB with HBeAg negative patients, white blood cells, lymphocyte, neutrophils, hemoglobin and platelets significantly decreased at 2 weeks, while a minimum value occurred at 48 weeks. The recovery was obvious at the end of treatment (48 weeks), and reached pre-treatment levels at 48 weeks after the end of treatment. For CHB with HBeAg positive patients, white blood cells, neutrophils, hemoglobin and platelets significantly decreased at 2 weeks, while a minimum value was found at 36-48 weeks. The recovery was obvious at the end of treatment (48 weeks), and reached pre-treatment levels at 48weeks after the end of treatment. For patients with CHB, hemoglobin declined by more than13.64% at 36th week, which means that the patient would have a predictive significance for decrease of HBV DNA, and drops of more than 0.33% at 2nd week means that the patient would have a predictive significance for clearance of HBsAg. Conclusions During the treatment with interferon, the variation regularity of blood picture for predicting result have a certain effect, which may help predict and monitor the change of blood picture in clinical work.

Objective: To observe the changes of peripheral blood image of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients treated with pegylated interferon (Peg-IFN) and ribavirin, and explore the relationship between the changes and serum virological respose (SVR). Methods: Patients with CHC treated with Peg-IFN α-2 a and ribavirin in the Second Division of Liver Disease in Beijing Ditan Hospital were monitored for peripheral blood cells routine examination and Liver function, kidney function, thyroid function at baseline and week 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, and week 12, 24, 48 after the end of treatment for chronic hepatitis C, and HCV RNA. Results: The decrease of peripheral blood cell counts began to appear at week 2 of treatment. For CHC patients without cirrhosis, white blood cells, lymphocyte, hemoglobin and platelets at week 2, while minimum values were seen at week 36, and the neutrophils reached the minimum value to at week 24. Significant recovery of the peripheral blood changes was seen at the end of treatment (48 weeks), and reached pre-treatment levels at week 48 after the end of treatment. For CHC patients with cirrhosis, white blood cells, lymphocytes, hemoglobin and platelets significantly decreased at week 2, while neutrophils reached a minimum value at 2 weeks. And hemoglobin and platelets reached a minimum value at 24 weeks, and the white blood cells reached the minimum value at weeks 24-36 besides lymphocyte reached the minimum value at week 36. Significant recovery was seen at the end of treatment (48 weeks), and the blood cell counts reached pre-treatment levels at 48 weeks after the end of treatment. For patients with CHC, hemoglobin decreased by more than 27.47% at week 4, which means that the patient would have a predictive significance for SVR, as well as the of PLT reduction by more than 36.96% at week 8. Conclusions During the treatment with Peg-interferon and ribavirin, the variation of blood picture has some predicting effect, which predicts the result of antiviral treatment.

Objective: To explore the association between the efficacy of peg-IFN and the complexity of TP and RT regions of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in chronic hepatitis B. Methods: Patients with HBeAg positive, HBV DNA positive chronic hepatitis B were given peg-interferon 180 μg once a week for subcutaneous injection, and baseline information was collected from baseline and after 12 weeks’ treatment. The baseline HBV DNA TP and RT fragments were amplified, database, high-throughput sequencing, and the average genetic distance calculation. Results: Data of 108 patients were analyzed by logistic regression. RT area fragment Markov distance and TP area fragment Shannon quotient for HBV DNA response were calculated. ALT level is good for HBeAg response. HBsAg level is bad for HBsAg response. Conclusions The complexity of the baseline TP and RT regions may be associated with the efficacy of peg-interferon therapy for CHB.

Objective: To explore the persistent viral response rate (SVR) in patients with refractory chronic hepatitis C after interferon (IFN) (peginterferon 360 μg qw) and ribavirin (PR) therapy failure. The SVR of patients with refractory chronic hepatitis C was improved by PR combined with direct antiviral agents (DAA) and proper extension of the course of therapy was applied. Methods: Seventeen cases of refractory chronic hepatitis C after IFN(peginterferon 360 μg qw) and ribavirin therapy failure were given PR combined with DAA treatment. The side effects were observed and corresponding adjustments were made on drug dosage, and SVR was recorded. Results: The 17 cases completed the whole course of treatment with PR combined with DAA for 24 weeks. All the 17 patients obtained rapid viralogical response (RVR) and SVR. After treatment, the SVR rate was 100% in patients including those with virologic relapse, retreated or previously non-responsive patients with refractory chronic hepatitis C. The adverse reaction of PR combined with DAA 24 weeks was generally mild. Conclusions The use of PR combined with DAA re-treatment in patients with refractory chronic hepatitis C can achieve SVR and shorten the treatment time. PR combined with DAA re-therapy is one of effective treatments to improve the rate of sustained viral response in patients with refractory chronic hepatitis C.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and autoantibody characteristics of patients with drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the patients with abnormal liver function who were admitted to Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University, from September 2014 to September 2018 and were diagnosed with DILI based on RUCAM score, and related data on admission were collected, including baseline liver function, renal function, routine blood test results, five immune indices, autoantibody, and liver biopsy results. The t -test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups; the chi-square test was used to compare the detection rate of autoantibody between the patients with different sexes or types of liver injury. A logistic regression analysis was used to investigate whether autoantibody had a regression relationship with sex, age, and type of injury, and an ordinal logistic regression analysis was performed with baseline laboratory results as independent variables and anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) titer as the dependent variable. Results A total of 419 patients with DILI were enrolled in the study, with a median age of 47 (35-55) years, among whom male patients accounted for 32.5% (136/419) and female patients accounted for 67.5% (283/419). Among these 419 patients, 88 (21.5%) had hepatocellular-type liver injury, 87 (21.2%) had mixed-type liver injury, and 235 (57.3%) had cholestasis-type liver injury. The detection rate of autoantibodies was 50.6% (212/419), and the detection rate of ANA was 42.9% (180/419), with a titer of mainly 1∶ 100 (104/180). There was no significant difference in the detection rate of autoantibodies between the patients with different sexes ( χ 2 =2.658, P =0.103) or different types of injury ( χ 2 =0.859, P =0.651). The binary logistic regression analysis showed that autoantibody did not have a regression relationship with sex, age, and type of injury (all P > 0.05) There were significant differences in prothrombin time activity (PTA) and international normalized ratio (INR) between the positive autoantibody group and the negative autoantibody group ( t =2.161, P =0.031; Z =-3.010, P =0.003). The ordinal logistic regression analysis showed that INR (odds ratio [ OR ]=3.101, P =0.040) and IgG ( OR =1.043, P =0.014) were associated with ANA grade. Conclusion There is a relatively high detection rate of autoantibodies in patients with DILI, and the detection rate of autoantibodies is not associated with sex, age, or type of injury. There are differences in PTA and INR between autoantibody-positive patients and autoantibody-negative patients, and the levels of INR and IgG are correlated with antibody titer.
