Background:In the treatment of many gastric diseases,eradication of Helicobacter pylori( Hp)is important. With the increasing in antibiotic resistance of Hp,the eradication efficacy of conventional triple and quadruple therapy for Hp is decreasing in recent years. Aims:To assess the efficacy and safety of quadruple therapy combined with astragalus membranaceus for Hp eradication. Methods:A total of 395 Hp-infected patients with chronic gastritis/dyspepsia and peptic ulcer diagnosed by gastroscopy were enrolled,of them 185 patients were of chronic gastritis/dyspepsia group and 210 patients were of peptic ulcer group. Patients in the two groups were subdivided into trial group and control group. Patients in trial group were given quadruple therapy combined with astragalus membranaceus for 14 days,and patients in control group were given quadruple therapy only for 14 days. Hp eradication was assessed by 13 C-urea breath test 4 weeks after treatment. Results:A total of 358 patients(90. 6%)completed the study. In chronic gastritis/dyspepsia group,the eradication rate was significantly higher in trial group than in control group by PP analysis(P<0. 05),but no significant difference was found by ITT analysis(P>0. 05). In peptic ulcer group,the eradication rates by PP and ITT analysis showed no significant differences between trial group and control group(P>0. 05). In control group,the eradication rates by PP and ITT analysis were significantly higher in peptic ulcer group than in chronic gastritis/dyspepsia group( P <0. 01). In trial group,the eradication rates by PP and ITT analysis were not significantly different between chronic gastritis/dyspepsia group and peptic ulcer group( P >0. 05 ). The incidence of adverse effects was not significantly different between chronic gastritis/dyspepsia group and peptic ulcer group as well as trial group and control group( P>0. 05). Conclusions:Quadruple therapy combined with astragalus membranaceus could increase the eradication rate of Hp in chronic gastritis/dyspepsia group safely.

Objective To investigate the relationship between wheezing and serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3.Methods 130 children with lower respiratory tract infection were selected as the subjects, the children with wheezing in group A([Abstract] Objective To investigate the relationship between wheezing and serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3.Methods 130 children with lower respiratory tract infection were selected as the subjects, the children with wheezing in group A(n=70),normal pneumonia (no wheezing) were group B(n=60); The healthy children who were examined in the hospital at the same period were selected as the control group (n=60). The serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 were measured by ELISA in the control and hospitalized children. The pathogens and allergens of the two groups were also detected. Results The levels of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 in group A and group B were (56.92±16.88) nmol/L, (70.68±21.96) nmol/L, respectively, which was significantly lower than that in control group (82.69±17.63) nmol/L, ( t=8.50, 3.30,P=0.00,0.00); compared with group A( t=3.85, P=0.00). The positive rate of group A was 65.71%, which was significantly higher than that of group B (35.00%, χ2=12.20,P=0.00). The positive rate of group A was 30.00% compared with the control group (35.00%, χ2=0.36,P=0.54). The serum level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 was 75.57% in group A, which was significantly higher than that in group B (60.00%,χ2=14.21, P=0.00). The positive rate of virus detection was 57.14% in 98 children with serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 level<75 nmol/L, which was significantly higher than that in serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 level≥75 nmol/L(18.75%, χ2=14.25, P=0.00). The positive rate of allergens in serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 level <75 nmol/L was 35.71%, which was significantly higher than that in serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 level≥75 nmol/L(21.88%, χ2=2.11, P=0.14). Conclusion The main risk factor for children with wheezing is viral infection, while the low level of serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 in children increases the risk of viral infection, resulting in increased risk of wheezing in patients,so the clinical can occur through the detection of serum 25- hydroxyvitamin D3 levels to predict and intervention for children with wheezing.

BACKGROUND:It is convenient to fabricate porcelain veeners using chairside computer aided design/computer aided manufacture (CAD/CAM) system. However, the color of the restorations is not ideal when the veener is cemented immediately, so different surface treatments are needed. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the influence of different surface treatments on the color of chairside porcelain veneers made of CEREC Blocs and the color match between the porcelain veneers and teeth. METHODS:Five fresh extracted maxillary central incisors were selected and prepared. Twenty-five 0.6 mm porcelain veneer specimens were fabricated with Sirona CEREC Blocs by chairside CAD/CAM system, and then randomized into five groups. Untreated specimens served as control group. The other four groups were treated respectively by polishing, glazing, glazing after polishing or staining. The color parameters of specimens and the teeth were measured with ShadeEye NCC on the middle 1/3 region of labial surfaces, and color differences (ΔE) between the specimens and teeth were calculated. Data were analyzed by SPSS 19.0 software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, the L* value of the glazing, glazing after polishing and staining groups were significantly decreased (P<0.05). The L* value of the staining group was the lowest. The a* and b* values had no significant differences between groups (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the ΔE values of glazing, glazing after polishing and staining groups were significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the ΔE value of the staining group was the lowest. The ΔL* values of glazing, glazing after polishing and staining groups were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05), and the ΔL* value of the staining group was the lowest. Compared with the control group, only the Δb* value of staining group was decreased significantly (P<0.05). The Δa* values did not differ significantly between groups (P>0.05). These results suggest that the chairside porcelain veneers made of CEREC Blocs can obtain satisfactory aesthetic appearance by glazing and staining.
