Objective To explore how to improve the curative effects and reduce the complications of duodenoscopy in the treatment of bile duct diseases. Methods Clinical data of 292 cases of endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) and 104 cases of endoscopic nose biliary drainage (ENBD, including 9 post-EST cases) from February 1995 to February 2003 were retrospectively reviewed. Results The success rate of EST was 92.1% (269/292). Among 272 cases of common bile duct calculus, stones were completely taken out in 235 cases (86.4%). Among 15 cases of intrahepatic duct calculus, stones were completely removed in 4 cases. Biliary duct foreign bodies were removed at once in 3 out of 5 cases. EST related complications were found in 16 cases (7 cases of acute pancreatitis, 5 cases of bleeding at the site of incision, 2 cases of severe cholangitis, 1 case of duodenal perforation and 1 case of instrumental break-off), with an incidence rate of 5.5% (16/292). Satisfactory outcomes were achieved in 92 cases receiving ENBD. No death occurred in the study. Conclusions Proper selection of patients and skillful performance of EST is the key to improve its curative effects and reduce its complications.

Objective To investigate the relationships between serum osteocalcin levels of fasting plasma glucose(FPG),fasting serum insulin(FINS),insulin resistance,β-cell function as well as lipid metabolism in male traumatic patients.Methods A prospective cohort study was carried out in the Emergency Room of Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital from April to October of 2015.The male adult traumatic patients without traumatic brain injury,shock and the medical history such as the fractures,diabetes were enrolled as trauma group,and then patients' age,body mass index(BMI),injury severity score(ISS), admission time after trauma and fluid resuscitation volume before testing(FRVT) were recorded.A total of 80 heathly male adult subjects were enrolled from the physical examination center as control group with matched age and BMI.Comparison of biochemical characteristics were carried out between two groups, and relationships between serum osteocalcin levels and glycolipid metabolism in trauma group were analyzed.Insulin resistance and β-cell function were calculated by Homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance(HOMA-IR)and Homeostasis model assessment of β-cell function(HOMA-β).Results A total of 102 male adult traumatic patients mostly subjected to traffic accident (56.9%) with FRVT (208.78±98.68)mL and ISS(9.30±3.67)were enrolled in trauma group.Serum OC levels,HOMA-β,total cholesterol(TC),high density lipoprotein(HDL-c)and low density lipoprotein(LDL-c) were lower,but FPG,FINS,C-peptide(C-P),HOMA-IR were higher compared with control group(P<0.05).Serum OC levels wer were negatively correlated with FPG and TC(P<0.05),and positively correlated with FINS,HOMA-IR,and HOMA-β(P<0.05),but there were no correlation of OC with FRVT and ISS.By multiple linear regression analysis after adjusting for age,BMI,FRVT and ISS,serum osteocalcin levels were significantly related to TC in traumatic patients (β=-0.812,P=0.024).Conclusion The glycolipid metabolism may be impacted by the serum level of osteocalcin after trauma.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the efficacy of the cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for the treatment of chronic subjective tinnitus. METHOD: One hundred and fifty-seven patients were randomly divided into two groups. Sixty-eight patients of the control group were treated by masking therapy; and the other 89 patients of the experimental group were treated by CBT therapy. The score of tinnitus handicap inventory (THI) was utilized to analyze the treatment efficacy in the two groups respectively. RESULT: The effective rate assessed by of THI score in the experimental group was not significantly higher than the control group 2 months after treatment (P > 0.05), but was significantly higher than the control group 6 months and 12 months after treatment (P < 0.05 respectively). CONCLUSION The CBT therapy contributed to achieve rapid adaptation of tinnitus feeling, which shows great value of further clinical application.

Objective To investigate the incidence and risk factors of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in a cohort of Chinese patients with traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI),and in addition,to evaluate the effect of injury types and concomitant injuries of other parts of body.Method Records of 143 casualties admitted to our institute for TSCI were analyzed retrospectively.Both lower extremities of all casualties were examined routinely with color Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS) before major surgical treatment.None of these casualties received any thromboprophylaxis before CDUS.Logistic regression was used to analyze risk factors of DVT.Results Of the 143 patients,32.2％ (n =46) suffered from DVT (proximal n =15,distal n =31).All casualties were diagnosed within one week after injury (mean 3.35 ± 1.65 days).Risk factors associated with DVT induced complete motor paralysis (odds ratio [OR] 5.05,95％ CI 1.70-14.90),concomitant fracture of lower extremities (OR 4.30,95％ CI 1.34-17.64),and lumbar vertebra injury (OR 4.29.95％ CI 1.50-10.83).Conclusions Clinically detectable DVT in TSCI are not uncommon in the Chinese population.Casualties with multiple risk factors may be benefited from early administration of thromboprophylaxis.

Objective:To explore the value of stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) in predicting the prognosis of patients with acute heart failure (AHF).Methods:AHF patients admitted to the Emergency Department of Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Sixth People's Hospital from December 2016 to January 2019 were retrospectively included. Clinical data were recorded and SHR was calculated. According to the survival of the patients within 1 year, they were divided into the death group ( n=89) and the survival group ( n=218). Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of mortality. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between SHR and the prognosis of AHF patients. Results:A total of 307 patients aged 83 ( range 74-87) years old who met the inclusion criteria were included in this study, including 153 males and 104 females. The age, SHR and N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in the death group were higher than those in the survival group [84 (78, 88) vs 82 (72, 86), 1.11 (0.91, 1.51) vs 1.02 (0.86, 1.27), 5 351 (2 098, 14 039)μg/L vs 4 243 (2 294, 7 565)μg/L ]. The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the death group was significantly lower than that of the survival group [53 (45, 57) % vs 58 (44, 64) %, P< 0.05]. Logistic regression analysis showed that SHR was an independent risk factor for death in AHF patients ( OR=2.397, 95% CI: 1.285-4.471, P< 0.05). Median SHR was used to draw the survival curve. Patients with high SHR had a lower cumulative survival rate, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:SHR can identify critically ill patients and is an independent risk factor for death in AHF patients.

Objective To investigate the relationships between serum osteocalcin (OC) levels and glycometabolism markers in nondiabetic post-traumatic male patients.Methods Populaitons were selected at the Department of Emergency Medicine of Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Sixth People's Hospital from October 2017 to February 2019.The age,injury severity score (ISS),and characteristic indicators were recorded.The inclusion criteria were age ≥ 18 years and blood collection time ＜ 24 h after the injury.The exclusion criteria were emergency surgery,acute brain trauma,and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≥ 6.0％.The patients were divided into two groups by fasting plasma glucose (FPG):stress hyperglycemia (SH) (FPG＞7.8 mmol/L) and nonstress hyperglycemia (NO-SH) (FPG ≤ 7.8 mmol/L) groups.The fasting venous blood samples were collected and examined.The characteristics and biochemical indicators in the two groups were compared statistically by LSD-t test,rank sum test and ANOVA,and the relationships between serum OC levels and glycometabolism markers were analyzed by partial correlation analysis.Results A total of 395 traumatic patients were enrolled and divided into the SH group (n=182) and NO-SH group (n=213).There were no differences in ISS,fasting insulin (FINS),and C-peptide (C-P) levels between groups.Age,HbAlc and FPG were higher (P=0.041,P=0.037,P＜0.01),while the OC level was lower (P=0.023),in the SH group than those in the NO-SH group.The serum OC level did not correlate with HbAlc,FPG,and FINS,but negatively correlated with C-P by partial correlation analysis (r=-0.262,P=0.008).The multivariate linear regression analysis showed that C-P was an independent factor affecting serum OC levels after trauma (β=-0.655,P=0.043).Conclusion A correlation existed between the serum OC level and glycometabolism markers in nondiabetic post-traumatic male patients.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between preoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and parameters of conventional coagulation tests (CCTs) and thromboelastography (TEG) in patients with acute trauma, and to establish a prediction model to screen out high-risk patients with preoperative DVT.Methods:The clinical data of patients with acute traumatic fracture admitted to the Emergency Intensive Care Unit of Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital from January 2021 to June 2021 were retrospectively collected. According to whether preoperative DVT occurred, the patients were divided into the DVT group and non-DVT group. The differences of CCTs and TEG parameters at the same time were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis was applied to identify independent risk factors for DVT after trauma. The receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis was employed to analyze the clinical value of those parameters to predict preoperative DVT.Results:Among 123 patients with acute traumatic fracture, 101 patients were treated with anticoagulation before operation, and 51 patients were diagnosed with DVT. There were significant differences in activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen (Fib), D-Dimer, fibrinogen degradation products (FDPs), reaction time, clotting time, α angle, maximum amplitude (MA) and coagulation index between the DVT and non-DVT groups. D-Dimer and MA were independent risk factors for preoperative DVT in patients with traumatic fracture. Logistic regression equation was used to establish a prediction model: the predicting index = 0.101×D-Dimer +0.241×MA + (-18.190). The α angle (AUC=0.833, P<0.001), MA (AUC=0.904, P<0.001), coagulation index (AUC=0.914, P<0.001) of TEG versus Fib (AUC=0.684, P=0.001), D-Dimer (AUC=0.685, P<0.001) and FDPs (AUC=0.656, P=0.003) of CCTs had a higher diagnostic efficacy in developing DVT of lower extremity in patients with traumatic fracture, and of all the coagulation index was the best. However, the predictor of D-Dimer combined with MA had a better predictive value (AUC=0.926, P<0.001), and the best cut-off value was 0.32 with a sensitivity and specificity of 90.2% and 79.8%, respectively. Conclusions:Compared with CCTs, TEG has more advantages in predicting preoperative DVT in patients with traumatic fracture, and the predictor of D-Dimer combined with MA can screen out patients with high risk of DVT, which can be recommended for clinical application.

Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) treatment models are rich and unique, including patient-led decision-making, doctor-led decision-making, and doctor-patient shared decision-making. However, doctor-led decision-making is more common. The connotation of TCM shared decision-making is rich, including not only the smooth flow of information and the encouragement and support of equal participation by patients, but also the discussions on various aspects of diet, exercise, emotions, daily life, physiology, psychology, society, and nature that affect health based on the unique holistic concept of TCM. Integrating "shared decision-making" into the treatment process of TCM can be divided into four steps according to the process of "diagnosis and treatment". TCM shared decision-making has advantages and limitations, requiring both doctors and patients to meet certain objective conditions, and there are also special situations in TCM treatment where shared decision-making cannot be applied. Multiple ways to enhance the decision-making ability of doctors and patients, scientific evaluation and matching treatment plans, development of decision-making aids, and smooth channels for information transmission can all enhance the shared decision-making ability of doctors and patients.

OBJECTIVE：To study the improvement effects of isopimpinelline on p-chlorophenylalanine（PCPA）-induced pineal injury model rats and its effect on expression of biological clock gene. METHODS ：Totally 60 rats were divided into blank control group（2％ polysorbate solution），model control group （2％ polysorbate solution），positive control group （melatonin，10 mg/kg） and isopimpinelline high-dose ，medium-dose and low-dose groups （3，1.5，0.75 mg/kg）. Except for blank control group ，rats in other groups were given PCPA intraperitoneally （450 mg/kg）to establish pineal injury model. After modeling finished ，they were given relevant medicine intragastrically ，once a day ，for consecutive 7 d. On the 6th day of administration ，the sleep latency and sleep duration of rats in each group were investigated by pentobarbital sodium coordination sleep test ；after last administration ， ELISA assay was used to determine the serum level of melatonin in rats. Fluorescence microscope and electron microscope were used to observe the pathological tissue and cell ultrastructure changes of the pineal gland. RT-qPCR was used to detect the mRNA expressions of biological clock gene Clock，Bmal1，Per1，Per2，Per3，Cry1，Cry2 in pineal gland of rats. RESULTS ：Compared with blank control group ，model control group had significantly longer sleep latency （P＜0.05）；serum melatonin ，mRNA expressions of Bmal1 and Per1 in pineal gland were significantly decreased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）while mRNA expression of Per3 was increased significantly （P＜0.05）. The pineal gland cell arrangement disorder ，nuclear pyknosis ，vacuolar degeneration increased and cell number decreased significantly ；mitochondria swollen ，cristae broken and pyknosis were observed. Compared with model control group ，the sleep latency of isopimpinelline high-dose group was shortened significantly （P＜0.05），sleep duration time was prolonged significantly （P＜0.05）；the levels of melatonin in serum ，mRNA expressions of Clock，Bmal1， Per1，Cry1 and Cry2 in pineal gland of rats were increased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. In isopimpinelline medium-dose group，the sleep latency was shortened significantly （P＜0.05）；the levels of melatonin in serum and mRNA expressions of Clock， Bmal1，Per1，Cry1，Cry2 in pineal gland were increased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01），while mRNA expression of Per3 was decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. In isopimpinelline low-dose group ，the levels of mRNA expressions of Clock，Bmal1，Per2 and Cry2 were increased significantly （P＜0.05），while mRNA expression of Per3 was decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. Cell arrangement disorder was improved and nuclear pyknosis vacuole degeneration was decreased to some extent in isopimpinelline groups；mitochondria swelled ，cristae fractured ，and pyknosis decreased to some extent. CONCLUSIONS ：Isopimpinelline can improve PCPA-induced pineal gland injury in rats ；it can up-regulate the expressions of positive regulators Clock，Bmal1 and negative regulators Per1，Per2，Cry1，Cry2，while down-regulate the expression of negative regulator Per3.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural ligand of tumor-targeted drug delivery systems (DDS) due to the relevant CD44 receptor overexpressed on tumor cell membranes. However, other HA receptors (HARE and LYVE-1) are also overexpressing in the reticuloendothelial system (RES). Therefore, polyethylene glycol (PEG) modification of HA-based DDS is necessary to reduce RES capture. Unfortunately, pegylation remarkably inhibits tumor cellular uptake and endosomal escapement, significantly compromising the antitumor efficacy. Herein, we developed a Dox-loaded HA-based transformable supramolecular nanoplatform (Dox/HCVBP) to overcome this dilemma. Dox/HCVBP contains a tumor extracellular acidity-sensitive detachable PEG shell achieved by a benzoic imine linkage. The and investigations further demonstrated that Dox/HCVBP could be in a "stealth" state at blood stream for a long circulation time due to the buried HA ligands and the minimized nonspecific interaction by PEG shell. However, it could transform into a "recognition" state under the tumor acidic microenvironment for efficient tumor cellular uptake due to the direct exposure of active targeting ligand HA following PEG shell detachment. Such a transformative concept provides a promising strategy to resolve the dilemma of natural ligand-based DDS with conflicting two processes of tumor cellular uptake and nonspecific biodistribution.
