Objective To evaluate the effects of hepatitis B virus on liver function,liver fibrosis,and liver pathological staging at different immune stages.Methods We made a retrospective analysis of 657 patients with chronic hepatitis B diagnosed in the First Hospital of Lanzhou University.Their liver function parameters,liver fibrosis parameters,and hepatitis B virus load were measured by automatic biochemical analyzer,automatic gammaradiation immunity analyzer,and quantitative PCR analyzer,respectively.Effects of hepatitis B virus on liver function,liver fibrosis in different immune stages were analyzed by variance analysis.Effects of hepatitis B virus on liver pathological staging at different immune stages were analyzed by linear trend chi square test analysis.Results In ALT normal chronic hepatitis B patients group,viral load had mild effects on liver function and liver fibrosis parameters.However,in ALT abnormal chronic hepatitis B patients group,viral load had a significant effect on liver function and liver fibrosis parameters,and the effect was most obvious in ALT＞double upper limit of normal group.The specific manifestation was that with viral load increasing,liver function parameters including ALT,AST,TBiL,DBiL,and IBiL increased,while TP and ALB decreased.Liver fibrosis parameters HA,LN,PcⅢ,and CIV all increased (P＜0.05).In ALT normal chronic hepatitis B patients group,viral load had no relationship with liver pathological staging.However,in ALT abnormal chronic hepatitis B patients group,especially ALT≥double upper limit of normal group,viral load was significantly related to liver pathological staging.Conclusion The effects of hepatitis B virus on patients' liver function at different immune stages were different,thus providing evidence-based medicine support for clinical antiviral treatment.

Objective To explore the influence of the combination therapy of probucol with atorvastatin on levels of serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), oxidized low-density lipoproteins (ox-LDL), and marix metallopro? teinase-9 (MMP-9) and resolution of carotid plaque in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI). Methods One hun? dred-six patients with acute cerebral infarction who had carotid artery color Doppler ultrasound-confirmed atherosclerot? ic plaques , were included in the present study. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: conventional treat? ment group ( 40 cases) which received atorvastatin (20mg/d) and co-treatment group (40 cases) which received Atorvas? tatin (20mg/d) and Probucol (500mg/d). Levels of hs-CRP, ox-LDL and MMP-9 were detected in all patients before treat? ment and 1, 6 and 12 months after drug therapy. The Intima-media thickness, area and numbers of carotid plaques were evaluated by using Doppler ultrasonography during a 12 months follow-up period. Results ① Serum hs-CRP and MMP-9 levels were significantly decreased at 1, 6 and 12 months after treatment, (conventional treatment group:t =14.662, 23.586, 28.179 and co-treatment group:t =47.023, 50.239, 50.774,P <0.01). The ox-LDL levels was obviously de? creased in the combined treatment group (t =4.592, 5.011, 5.892,P <0.01) but not in conventional treatment group (P > 0.05) at 1, 6 and 12 months after treatment. Serum hs-CRP, ox-LDL and MMP-9 levels were significantly lower in com? bined treatment group than in the conventional treatment group at all time points after treatment (t =7.655, 5.271, 2.492, t =4.927, 3.772, 4.673 andt =16.862, 4.251, 2.045.P <0.01 orP <0.05). ②There were not statistically differences in the IMT, plaque area and plaque numbers between these two groups before treatment (P >0.05). The IMT, plaque area and plaque numbers were significantly smaller in combined treatment group than in conventional treatment group (t =6.117, 3.290, 2.158,P <0.05). Conclusions The combination therapy of probucol with atorvastatin can greatly reduce levels of serunl hs-CRP,ox-LDL and MMP-9, indicating that the combination therapy has a strong anti-oxidant function, thereby reversing and stabilizing the atherosclerosis plaque.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and drug resistance status of extended-spectrum ?-lactamases producing(ESBLs) Klebsiella pneumoniae and to provide the basis for clinic anti-infective treatment.METHODS To use ATB-expression analyzer to identify the microbe.The drug susceptibility was tested with the K-B method and the ESBLs producing strains detected by diffusion confirmed test.RESULTS Among 137 strains of identified K.pneumoniae,34.3% of them(47 strains)produced ESBLs,and most had been shown in geriatrics ward.The drug resistance rate of ESBLs producing K.pneumoniae was higher than that in non-producing ESBLs one.So imipenem should be considered to be a preferred antibiotic when used on K.pneumoniae seriously infected cases.CONCLUSIONS The drug resistance of K.pneumoniae is a serious problem,we should pay attention on the status of ESBLs distribution,based on the susceptibility to choose the reasonable antibacterial to avoid the producing ESBLs bacteria spread out.
