Objective To investigate the clinical outcomes of patients with chronic hepatitis B and its influencing factors,and provide reference for the prognosis of patients with hepatitis B.Methods 102 patients with chronic hepatitis B from January 2009 to June 2014 were selected and divided into the case group of 32 patients and the control group of 70 patients according to whether to occur with cirrhosis or liver cancer.The two groups of patients were analyzed and compared for general information,HBV DNA,serum ALT and other indicators.Results The cumulative cases of negative HBsAg,chronical hepatitis B,liver cirrhosis and liver cancer were 5,65 and 32,respectively.Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the differences between the two groups in age,sex,drinking history,HBV DNA levels and serum ALT levels were statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05).Whether to cirrhosis or liver cancer was the dependent variable,the statistically significant single factors between the two groups were the independent variable,multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that older age,male sex,alcohol abuse,high level of HBV DNA and high level of serum ALT were the risk factors of leading to cirrhosis,liver cancer for the patients with chronic hepatitis B (OR values were 9.94,14.36,8.25,13.01,120.32,respectively).Conclusions The older age,male,alcohol history,high level of HBV DNA and high level of serum ALT are higher risk factors for patients with chronic hepatitis B to development of cirrhosis and liver cancer.Patients with risk factors should be gave systematic interventions to reduce progression to cirrhosis,liver cancer and improve the quality of life.

BACKGROUND:It is reported that long-term endurance training can induce the transformation of muscle fibers and the myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms from the fast type into the slow type. But the change of MHC isoforms mRNAs in the movement training needs further study.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of the treadmill training on the contractile function of gastrocnemius MHC in male SD rats.DESIGN: A randomized controlled animal experiment.SETTING: Medical Experimental Center of Xi'an Jiaotong University.MATERIALS: Totally 40 male SD rats aged 7 weeks with the body mass of (230±16) g were selected. All the animals had not experienced the treadmill exercise before the experiment. Reagents: The primary antibodies were the murine anti-actin and anti-MHC Ⅱ of fast contractile type of skeletal muscle monoclonal antibodies, ABCam products. The secondary antibody was the alkaline phosphatase-conjugated anti-murine IgG, SIGMA product.METHODS: The experiment was conducted at the Medical Experimental Center of Xi'an Jiaotong University from March to October 2005. All the rats were randomly assigned into control group (n =10) and training group (n =30). The rats in the training group took movement training for 4-6 weeks with the exercise intensity of 75%VO2max (18.5-24 m/min,gradient of 0°), once 50 minutes and twice a day. The rats in the control group did free exercise, and did not receive any intervention. At weeks 4, 5 and 6, MHC mRNA content was measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and change of myosin muscle fibers and size of cross section area (CSA) were determined by immunohistochemical method in 10 rats. The rats were anesthetized before the gastrocnemius liberated gently. Tension transducer and electrical stimulator were applied to give square wave pulse stimulation. The gastrocnemius was extended gradually till the Lmax position of initial length of muscle, at which the isometric contraction tension reached the maximal value for 10 minutes. The muscle length and tension were recorded. The right-side gastrocnemius was obtained to measure the wet weight, and the ratio with the body mass was calculated. The ratio of muscle mass to body mass was determined by the following formula: muscle mass (mg)/body mass (g) ×100%.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①MHC mRNA content of gastrocnemius, ②change of myosin muscle fibers and size of CSA, ③body mass of rats and gastrocnemius mass, and ④maximal tension of isometric contraction of gastrocnemius.RESULTS: A total of 40 included rats were involved in the result analysis. ①MHC mRNA content of gastrocnemius: The expression of total MHC mRNA of the training group was 105% of that of the control group after the endurance training for 4 weeks (P ＜ 0.01). The expression of MHC Ⅱ a was higher than that in the control group (1.27±0.08,1.17±0.06, P ＜ 0.05). The expression of MHC Ⅱ x mRNA was higher than that in the control group (1.29±0.04,1.19±0.05, P ＜ 0.01 ).②change of myosin muscle fibers and size of CSA: the MHC of rats had the main expression of the Ⅱ slow contractile type of muscle fibers, but less expression of Ⅰ fast contractile type of muscle fibers ratio after 4-6 weeks aerobic exercise. The CSA of type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ muscle fibers of the rats in the control group were (1 958.0±30.5), (1 656.1± 35.3) μm2, respectively. However, as compared with the control group, the CSA of type I and type Ⅱ muscle fibers of the rats in the four-week-training group increased by 24.5 % and 22.1% (P ＜ 0.01) respectively. In the five-week-training group, the related value increased by 26.4 % and 51.5 % (P ＜ 0.01), respectively. In the six-week-training group, the related value increased by 33.2% and 48.9% (P ＜ 0.01), respectively. ③body mass of rats and gastrocnemius mass:The wet weight of gastrocnemius [(135.6±3.1 ), (139.2±5.1), (148.4±6.2) mg] was higher in the training group than the control group [(103.2±3.4), (87.5±2.9), (68.3±3.3) mg,P ＜ 0.01] at weeks 4, 5 and 6. Relative weight of gastrocnemius [(0.55±0.01), (0.56±0.02), (0.59±0.03)] was higher in the training group than the control group [(0.43±0.02), (0.37± 0.04), (0.29±0.05),P ＜ 0.05-0.01] at weeks 4, 5 and 6. ④maximal tension of isometric contraction of gastrocnemius:The maximal tension of isometric contraction increased significantly in the training group as compared with the control group after square wave pulse stimulation at week 6 (P ＜ 0.01).CONCLUSION: Expression of MHC Ⅱ x and MHC Ⅱ b, the CSA of muscle fibers and the maximal tension of isometric contraction are all increased after the short-term endurance training. It indicates that the aerobic exercise may promote the contractile function of MHC.

Acupuncture is widely used as an alternative therapy with few side effects because of its simple manipulation and low cost. However, accidents may occur if the practitioner uses it improperly. Early in the Qin dynasty, the Canon of Medicine mentioned that improper use of acupuncture could cause injury to the body and even death, and it systematically described the occurrence and prevention of acupuncture accidents. Physicians in the successive dynasties frequently reported it, and realized that the manipulation skills were significantly important in preventing the occurrence of acupuncture accidents. Since the 1950s, acupuncture accidents had been effectively prevented because of the improving of acupuncture instruments, enhancing of the quality of the practitioners, popularizing of sterilization and disseminating of anatomic knowledge. Nevertheless, with the renovating of acupuncture techniques, new accidents may occur constantly. The prevention of acupuncture accidents still should be an arduous task for acupuncturists. Nowadays, acupuncture therapy is being used in more than 140 countries, and acupuncture accidents due to improper application are increasing. Prevention of acupuncture accidents has become a global issue deserving of great attention.

Moxibustion is an important invention of the Chinese nation, which originated as early as in the clan commune period of the primitive society. The literature records on moxibustion can be traced back to the Warring States Period (475 B.C. to 221 B.C.). Doctors through the ages made considerable progress and published a great number of books on moxibustion. Moxibustion has been applied in treating a great range of diseases. Since the 1950s, the treatment scope of moxibustion has been expanded, and the therapeutic methods of moxibustion are becoming increasingly rich and varied, and great progress in research on the mechanism of moxibustion has been made. Moxibustion was once popular in Europe after its dissemination to the West in the seventeenth century, and the practitioners invented some new methods of moxibustion. Japan is the country in the West where fruitful efforts have been made in research on moxibustion. In modern times, moxibustion has been used for health protection, and the scientists are paying great attention to the experimental research on moxibustion.

It is well established that pulmonary vascular resistance plays a pivotal role in the postnatal decrease of pulmonary arterial pressure in neonates.Catheterization has been demonstrated that mean pulmonary arterial pressure(PAP) equals or exceeds systemic for as long as 1 hour after birth.Thereafter,a gradual decrease in pressure occurs with the major fall taking place during the first 24 hours.By 3 days of age,the mean pulmonary arterial pressure is less than 50 per cent of that in the systemic circulation.Tricuspid regurgitation(TR) and ductal flow velocity(PDA) have the largest number of confidence steps in the expected range of values.The most repeatable technique is TR,but PDA might also be useful for a serial studies owing to the potential for large change.This paper reviews the PAP of normal full-term infants after birth by catheterization and Doppler ultrasound,in order to provide some clinic basis for pulmonary hypertension identification.
