Crohn’s disease( CD)is a gastrointestinal progressive granulomatous disease with unknown etiology. It is characterized as active stage alternating with remission stage,long-term course with many complications,sometimes needing surgery and having the tendency of relapse in patient ’s whole life. Therefore,it is important to define an effective therapeutic endpoint to ameliorate the natural course of CD. This article reviewed the progress in defining treatment endpoint of CD.

Inflammatory bowel disease( IBD)includes ulcerative colitis( UC)and Crohn’s disease( CD),its incidence is increasing yearly in our country. With the progress of molecular biology,genetics,the understanding of IBD is deepen,however,the exact pathogenesis of IBD is still not fully clear,and it may be related to gene,environment, immunity,microorganism. Studies have shown that smoking,vitamin D,sex hormones,emotions,diet may be related with the occurrence of IBD. This article reviewed the role of environmental factors in IBD.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of arthroscopic patelloplasty combined with lateral patellar retinaculum release and circumpatellar denervation for treatment of moderate and severe patellofemoral osteoarthritis.Methods A retrospective case-control study was done on 80 patients with moderate to severe patellofemoral osteoarthritis who were treated in our hospital between March 2013 and March 2015.According to treatment methods,the patients were divided into two groups:Group A including 40 cases (22 cases of Outerbridge grade Ⅲ degree and 18 cases of Outerbridge grade Ⅳ) undergone arthroscopic debridement,and Group B including 40 cases (22 cases of Outerbridge grade Ⅲ degree and 18 cases of Outerbridge grade Ⅳ) undergone arthroscopic patelloplasty combined with lateral patellar retinaculum release and circumpatellar denervation.The Kujula scores and Lysholm scores of the patellofemoral joint were compared between the two groups before and after operation.The lateral patellofemoral angle was measured according to patellar axial X-ray performed 3 months after operation to evaluate patellofemoral joint function.Results All patients were followed up for 13-36 months (average 19.8 months).The patellofemoral joint scores of the two groups was increased at different degrees after operation.In moderate patellofemoral osteoarthritis patients,at 3 months after operation and the last follow-up of Group B,Kujula scores [(85.1 ± 6.8)points,(86.8 ± 4.6)points] and Lysholm scores [(88.1 ± 1.8) points,(88.4 ± 2.3) points] were higher than that of Group A [(78.1 ± 5.7) points,(78.3±5.3)points,(82.4 ±2.9)points,and (82.5 ±2.5)points] (P＜0.05).In each group,the Kujula scores and Lysholm scores at 3 months after operation and the last follow-up were improved to be higher than preoperation (P ＜ 0.05),with insignificant statistical difference between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).According to the Lysholm scores,the excellent rate after operation in Group B (86％) was higher than that of Group A (55％) (P ＜ 0.05).For patients with severe patellofemoral osteoarthritis,Kujula scores [(72.3 ± 5.3) points,(72.7 ± 3.6) points] and Lysholm scores [(75.1 ± 1.9) points,(75.3 ± 2.3) points] at 3 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up in Group B were higher than that of Group A [(70.8 ± 5.2) points,(71.1 ± 4.2) points,(73.4 ± 2.8) points,and (73.6 ± 2.5) points],but the difference was not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).Within each group,although the Kujula scores and Lysholm scores at 3 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up were improved compared with before operation,but the difference was not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).According to the Lysholm scores,although the excellent rate after operation of Group B (33％) was higher than that of Group A (28％),with insignificant statistical difference (P ＞ 0.05).No matter Outerbridge Ⅲ or Ⅳ patellofemoral osteoarthritis a patient was,the lateral patellofemoral angle of Group A after operation had no significant improvement (P ＞ 0.05),while Group B showed significant improvement after operation (P ＜0.01).Group B had better improvements than that of Group A (P ＜0.01).Conclusions Compared with simple arthroscopic debridement,patelloplasty combined with lateral patellar retinaculum release and circumpatellar denervation can better relieve the symptoms of moderate patellofemoral osteoarthritis and improve knee function.But for patients with severe patellofemoral osteoarthritis,this method is not effective.

Objective To investigate the effects of transcutaneous electro acupuncture stimulation (TEA) on esophageal motility of patients with refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (RGERD) by high resolution manometry (HRM),and to provide a new treatment option for RGERD.Methods From February 2014 to June 2015,a total of 45 patients with RGERD were enrolled.TEA instrument was used for electro acupuncture stimulation at the points of Zusanli and Neiguan.HRM was carried out before and after treatment.The changes of HRM parameters such as lower esophageal sphincter pressure (LESP),distal contractile integral (DCI),and amplitude of 3 cm,7 cm above lower esophageal sphincter (LES),esophageal body velocity and contractile front velocity (CFV) were also compared.The paired-samples t test was performed for statistical analysis.Results According to LESP value,45 patients were divided into low LESP group (10 patients) and normal LESP group (35 patients).According to parameter of esophageal motility function,patients were divided into esophageal dysmotility group (25 patients) and normal esophageal motility group (20 patients).After TEA treatment,the LESP of lower LESP group was (14.83± 4.17) mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa),which was higher than that before treatment ((9.54 ±2.42) mmHg),and the difference was statistically significant (t=4.92,P=0.001).LESP of esophageal dysmotility group was (19.04±5.91) mmHg,which was higher than that before treatment ((16.20±6.09) mmHg),and the difference was statistically significant (t=4.92,P=0.001).There was no statistically significant difference in LESP of normal LESP group and normal esophageal motility group before and after treatment (both P＞0.05).After treatment,DCI of esophageal dysmotility group was (530.76±215.53) mmHg· cm· s,which was higher than that before treatment ((363.92 ± 279.17) mmHg · cm · s),and the difference was statistically significant (t=2.86,P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in esophageal body velocity,amplitude of 3 cm,7 cm above LES andCFV before and after treatment (all P＞0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in all of the esophageal motility parameters in normal esophageal motility group before and after treatment (all P＞0.05).Conclusion TEA can increase LESP and DCI in RGERD patients with esophageal motility dysfunction,improve contraction of entire esophagus and raise esophageal clearance capacity.

BACKGROUND:Establishing the animal model of membranous nephropathy is of importance to figure out the pathogenesis of membranous nephropathy.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the expression of nephrin and podocin in the model of membrane nephropathy in rats, and to investigate their relationships with the pathogenesis of membranous nephropathy.
METHODS:A total of 40 Sprague-Dawley rats were equivalently randomized into model and control groups. Rats in the model group were in premunity by given subcutaneous and multi-point injection of 1 mg cationic bovine serum albumin firstly dissolved in 0.5 mL normal saline and then ful y emulsified with the equal incomplete Freund’s adjuvant for 1 week, and 16 mg/kg cationic bovine serum albumin was injected via vein tails, once every other day for 4 weeks. The same volume of normal saline was injected into the controls. The mRNA expressions of nephrin and podocin in renal tissues were detected using real-time PCR, and biochemical indicators and morphological observation were measured at 2 and 4 weeks after modeling.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) In the model group, the total amount of urine and serum albumin levels were significantly decreased accompanying with overt proteinuria, and the serum creatinine, urea nitrogen, cholesterol and triglyceride levels were significantly increased al in a time-independent manner compared with the control group (P<0.01), and the difference was significant (P<0.05). (2) The pathological examination showed that rats in the model group had different degrees of renal tubular dilatation, glomerular basement membrane thickening, mesangial cel s and stromal hyperplasia, which was typical of membranous nephritis. (3) Moreover, the mRNA expressions of podocin and nephrin in the model group were lower than those in the control group. (4) In conclusion, the decreased expressions of podocin and nephfin may disturb the integrity of the slit membrane of podocytes giving rise to the damage of glomerular filtration barrier, and proteinuria appears in final.

Objective To observe the expression of uPA, tPA and PAI-1 in whole blood of rat membranous ne-phropathy ( MN) models induced by cationic bovine serum albumin ( C-BSA) , and to explore the effect of fibrinolytic sys-tem on podocyte apoptosis and pathological changes. To explore the possible preventive and therapeutic effects and the pos-sible mechanisms of early prevention of fibrinolysis. Methods We developed a MN model with the modified Border meth-od. At the end of the 1st, 2nd, 3th, and 4th week of immunization, respectively, the levels of whole blood uPA, tPA and PAI-1 were determined by ELISA. The rat kidney tissues were examined by light microscopy and electron microscopy to i-dentify the pathological changes. The expression levels of nephrin and WTl were detected with immumofluorescence staining and their correlation was analyzed. Results Compared the treatment group with control group, the levels of whole blood uPA, tPA and PAI-1 of the model group were decreased, while PAI-1 was elevated, showing a significant difference ( P<0. 05). The degree of renal interstitial fibrosis was more serious. Correlation analysis showed that the whole blood tPA and uPA levels were positively correlated with the changes of nephrin protein expression in the kidney tissue, while the whole blood PAI-1 level was negatively correlated with the nephrin protein expression in the kidney tissue. Conclusions In the process of MN development, the fibrinolytic system may have important significance for podocyte apoptosis. Determination of early phase of MN podocyte injury may be another therapy target for prevention of the disease development, and then pro-vide new ideas for clinical research and drug development for MN.

Objective:To analyse the degree of equality of New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme (NRCMS) in different economic regions. We provide a reference for equal development of the NRCMS and the reform of the political system and mechanism under the provincial-controlled county fiscal system. Methods:A typical province was chosen with provincial-controlled county fiscal system was fully implemented several years. We collected data on coverage, financing and compensation for the NRCMS from 2005 to 2011. We used the variable coefficient, uniformity coefficient, Theil Index for comprehensive evaluation. Results:Per capita financing has not reached the bottom line. From 2005 to 2011, inter-re-gional and intra-regional variation coefficient, Theil index of service coverage, financing level and hospital actual compen-sation has declined year by year. The degree of inequality in economically developed regions was greater than in less eco-nomically developed regions and economic medium region. Conclusion:The degree of equalization of the NRCMS in the province continuously improved. Innovation of provincial-controlled county fiscal system and mechanism provides a favora-ble environment and forming conditions for equalizing the development of the NRCMS. The paper suggested exploring and building fiscal classification step transfer payment institution and dynamic prediction model of the NRCMS, further optimi-zing financing mechanism, promoting the provincial management system of the NRCMS as soon as possible in order to pro-mote the equalization development.

Objective To investigate the level and influencing factors of self-efficacy among nurses with needlestick injuries and explore effective strategies to improve self-efficacy.Methods 713 clinical nurses with needlestick injuries had been enrolled by convenience and stratified sampling method to comphte the investigation using the self-designed demographic questionnaire and General Self-Efficacy Scale.Results The average score of the self-efficacy was (2.70 ±0.52) points.69.1％ of the needlestick injury nurses had the sclf-efficacy score at the middle level; only 19.1％ of them had a higher level score on self-efficacy.Gender,title,section,initiative report,work environment,and occupational safety training were identified as the influencing factors of the self-efficiency.Conclusions Even though more than half of the nurses with needlestick injuries had a middle level self-efficacy,they need further improvement.Other influencing factors should be explored in future in order to develop the corresponding management intervention which can strengthen the self-efficacy of nurses with needlestick injuries.

Objective To observe the protective effect of bioimpedance spectroscopy guided ultrahltration on residual renal function in new hemodialysis patients.Methods Patients with end-stage renal disease recruited from January 2015 to June 2016,were randomly divided into experimental group and control group.And all the patients were followed up for 3 months.The ultrafiltration was guided by the bioimpedance spectroscopy analysis in the experimental group,while the ultrafiltration was based on the edema,blood pressure,symptoms of low blood pressure and the increase of weight during the hemodialysis interphase in the control group.The difference of residual renal function,24 hours urine volume and the incidence rate of adverse events between the two groups were collected.Results Compared with the control group,the urine volume(932.58 ± 230.16 ml vs 584.45 ± 137.76 ml,t =7.226,P ＜ 0.001) and residual renal function (RRF) (4.55 ± 0.90 ml/min vs 3.08 ±0.68 ml/min,t =7.300,P ＜0.001)in the experimental group were higher.The drop of RRF(3.14 ±2.05 ml/min vs 4.40 ±2.09 ml/min,t =-2.384,P =0.020) and urinary volume (452.58 ±456.96 ml vs 877.45 ± 452.45 ml,t =-3.679,P =0.001) were lower in the experimental group.While there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse events between the two groups (t =2.081,P =0.084).Conclusions It is helpful for slowing down the decline of residual renal function by using the bioimpedance spectroscopy guided ultrafiltration.
