Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of entecavir versus adefovir dipivoxil in the treatment of HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B ( CHB) . Methods Ninety?six cases with HBeAg positive CHB were divided into ETV group and ADV group according to different medication. In addition to conventional treatment,ETV group received entecavir 0. 5 mg/d,ADV group received adefovir dipivoxil 10 mg/d. HBV DNA negative conversion rate,alanine aminotransferase ( ALT) recurrence rate and HBeAg negative conversion rate in 24 weeks,48 weeks and 96 weeks were compared as well as the adverse reactions and liver function in 96 weeks. Results HBV DNA negative conversion rates in ETV group were significantly higher than those in ADV group in 24 weeks,48 weeks and 96 weeks (24 weeks:64. 6%(31/48) vs. 41. 7%(20/48);48 weeks:83. 3%(40/48) vs. 52. 1%(25/48);96 weeks:97. 9%(47/48) vs. 62. 5%(30/48),χ2 =5. 06,10. 72,18. 96,P<0. 05) . ALT recurrence rates in ETV group were significantly higher than those in ADV group at 24 weeks,48 weeks ( 24weeks:77. 1%( 37/48 ) vs. 54. 2%( 26/48 );48weeks:85. 4%( 40/48 ) vs. 62. 5%( 30/48 ) ,χ2=5. 59,6. 54,P<0. 05). There was no significant difference in ALT complication rate at 96 week(χ2=0. 71,P>0. 05) . There was no significant difference in HBeAg negative conversion rate between the two groups through treatment(χ2=0. 07, 0. 22, 0. 44, P>0. 05 ) . After 96 weeks, ALT in both groups decreased significantly ( t =13. 56,11. 85,P<0. 05) ,while ALT in ETV group was significantly lower than that in ADV group ( ( 31. 8 ±8. 6) U/L vs. (38. 5±7. 5) U/L,t=4. 07,P<0. 05). AST in both groups decreased significantly(t=41. 27, 33. 68,P<0. 05),while AST in ETV group was significantly lower than that in ADV group ( (30. 3±6. 5) U/L vs.(37.6±7.1)U/L,t=5.25,P<0.05).TBIL in both groups decreased significantly(t=28.92,22.23,P<0. 05),while TBIL in ETV group was significantly lower than that in ADV group ( (13. 5±3. 3) μmol/L vs. (18. 7±3. 9) μmol/L,t=7. 05,P<0. 05). GGT in both groups decreased significantly (t=16. 99,13. 97,P<0.05),while GGT in ETV group was significantly lower than that in ADV group ( (35.6±10.4)U/L vs. (59. 7±12. 5)U/L,t=10. 27,P<0. 05). There was no significant difference in adverse reaction between the two groups (χ2=1. 96,P>0. 05) . Conclusion Entecavir has a higher rate of HBV DNA negative conversion rate, ALT recurrence rate and HBeAg negative conversion rate in the treatment of HBeAg positive CHB. It is an ideal antiviral drug.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect of Guanxin Tongmai plaster combined with conventional western medicine in the treatment of phlegm and blood stasis syndrome of coronary heart disease and angina pectoris.Methods:A total of 60 patients in the Department of Cardiology of the Affiliated Hospital of Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) from February to August 2020 who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into two groups with 30 in each group. Both groups were treated with conventional western medicine. On this basis, Guanxin Tongmai plaster was applied at the acupoints in the treatment group and placebo plaster was applied in the control group. TCM syndrome score was performed before and after treatment, angina score was evaluated from three aspects of angina attack frequency, duration and pain degree, and blood lipid TG, TC, LDL-C and HDL-C were detected by enzyme quantitative method. The blood homocysteine (Hcy) was detected by enzyme circulation method, the ECG and the nitroglycerin reduction rate were recorded, and the safety index was detected according to the ECG changes.Results:In the treatment period, 2 patients in the treatment group fell off, 3 in the control group. A total of 28 patients in the treatment group and 27 in the control group were analyzed. The total effective rate of ECG efficacy in the treatment group was 67.9% (19/28) and the control group was 48.1% (13/27). There was significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=4.46, P=0.040). After treatment, the TCM syndrome score and angina score in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t values were 9.12 and 4.45, P values were 0.004 and 0.042, respectively). The reduction rate of nitroglycerin in the treatment group was 82.1% (23/28) and 55.6% (15/27) in the control group. There was significant difference between the two groups ( χ 2=4.72, P=0.030). After treatment, the plasma TG, TC, LDL-C in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t values were 4.17, 6.57 and 6.52, P<0.05 or P<0.01), the level of HDL-C was significantly higher than that of the control group ( t=7.07, P=0.010), and the level of plasma Hcy was significantly lower than that in the control group ( t=6.70, P=0.012). There was no significant difference in liver, kidney and coagulation function between the two groups. Conclusion:Guanxin Tongmai plaster combined with conventional western medicine can improve the clinical symptoms of patients with coronary heart disease and angina pectoris, reduce the level of blood lipid and Hcy, and improve the clinical curative effect.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of 2 940 nm fractional erbium laser combined with fractional micro-plasma radiofrequency (FMR) therapy and 2 940 nm fractional erbium laser in the treatment of atrophic acne scars.Methods:A prospective randomized controlled research was conducted. A total of 100 atrophic acne scar patients (38 males and 62 females, aged 18-37 years) who were treated in the Scar Laser Clinic of the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery of Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from March 2018 to March 2021 and conformed to the inclusion criteria were recruited. The patients were randomly divided into erbium laser+FMR group and erbium laser alone group, with 50 cases in each group. The facial acne scars of patients in erbium laser alone group were treated with 2 940 nm fractional erbium laser, while the facial acne scars of patients in erbium laser+FMR group were treated with erbium laser as above, besides, the scars of U and M types were treated with FMR, once every 3 months for a total of 3 times. Before the first treatment and 3 months after each treatment, the Echelle D'Assessment Clinique des Cicatrices D'Acne (ECCA) was used to score the scar. The occurrence of adverse reaction during the treatment process was observed and recorded, and the incidence was calculated. Three months after the last treatment, the 5-level classification method was used to evaluate the satisfaction of patients with the treatment effect, and the satisfaction rate was calculated. Data were statistically analyzed with independent sample t test and chi-square test. Results:A total of 89 patients completed the study, including 46 patients in erbium laser+FMR group (19 males and 27 females, aged (26±5) years) and 43 patients in erbium laser alone group (15 males and 28 females, aged (27±6) years). The ECCA scores before the first treatment and 3 months after the first treatment of patients were similar between the two groups ( P>0.05). The ECCA scores of patients in erbium laser+FMR group at 3 months after the second and third treatment were 72±23 and 61±18, respectively, which were significantly lower than 85±26 and 76±25 in erbium laser alone group (with t values of -2.45 and -3.26, respectively, P<0.05). During the treatment process, the incidence of adverse reaction of patients in erbium laser+FMR group and erbium laser alone group were 23.91% (11/46) and 16.28% (7/43), respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). The satisfaction rate of patients in erbium laser+FMR group was 78.26% (36/46) at 3 months after the last treatment, which was significantly higher than 53.49% (23/43) in erbium laser alone group ( χ2=6.10, P<0.05). Conclusions:The 2 940 nm fractional erbium laser combined with FMR is superior to 2 940 nm fractional erbium laser alone in the treatment of facial atrophic acne scars, achieving significantly higher efficacy without significantly increasing the incidence of adverse reaction, and patients are more satisfied with the efficacy. It can be used as a recommended therapy in clinical practice.

The key pathogenesis of coronary heart disease (CHD) is spleen deficiency and phlegm stasis, and dysfunctional high-density lipoprotein (dys-HDL) may be the biological basis for the occurrence of CHD due to spleen deficiency and phlegm stasis. Considering the biological properties and effects of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), it is believed that the structure and components of HDL are abnormal in the state of spleen deficiency which led to dys-HDL; and dys-HDL contributes to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques through two major pathways, namely, mediating the dysfunction of endothelial cells and mediating the foaminess of macrophages and smooth muscle cells, thus triggering the development of CHD. It is also believed that dys-HDL is a microcosmic manifestation and a pathological product of spleen deficiency, and spleen deficiency makes foundation for the production of dys-HDL; dys-HDL is also an important biological basis for the phlegm-stasis interactions in CHD. The method of fortifying spleen, resolving phlegm, and dispelling stasis, is proposed as an important principle in the treatment of CHD by traditional Chinese medicine, which can achieve the therapeutic purpose by affecting the changes in the structure and components of dys-HDL, thus revealing the scientific connotation of this method, and providing ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of CHD by traditional Chinese medicine.
