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.

Genetic polymorphisms takes an important roll in pathophysiological course of sepsis.It influences the susceptibility and resistance to an invading pathogen;it influences the diversity of the clinical presentation and the response to current medical treatment for sepsis.Polymorphisms contributes to the susceptibility,severity,and clinical outcome of sepsis.

Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) provides support for the neonate,infants and children with acute severe reversible respiratory failure by substituting for the most or part of the lung function and providing enough time for disease resolution.Mounting evidence shows V-V ECMO is effective therapy for acute severe respiratory failure.

The author thinks that acupuncture-and-moxibustion is a form of information therapy (or informotherapy), which heals by means of feeding negative feedback information into disordered meridians at optimum information entry points (loci or acupoints). There is an essential difference among information threapy, physical therspy and chemical therapy. Informotherapy is a communication or dialogue between doctor (or informotherapy machine) and autonomic nervous system. Acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, applying plaster and massotherapy etc. all are general acupuncture, special informotherapy. The article also gives a brief explanation on general informotherapy including Qigong (a system of deep breathing exercise), biofeedback, hypnotism and suggestion therapy ect.
The article discusses the deficiency and excess of meridian states, reinforcing and reducing of information, and the fundamental laws of information processing in meridians, as such the relationship of YIN (negative) and YANG (positive) meridians, exterior and interior meridians, left and right side of a meridian, hand and foot meridians, Fron-Mu and Back-Shu loci, the Five Elements and interpromoting and interacting relations, the isohypse loci, and the bio-holographic law. It introduces five Juci-puncture, the opposite side puncturing methods, and one quasi-Juci-puncture method.
The author treats acupuncture from the view point of cybernetics. He deems that the research of informotherapy may be developed to form a completely new discipline of technical science--Meridian Cybernetics. It will produce important impact to artificial intelligence and computer science.
