1.Research advances on long-term outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection for early esophageal cancer
Chinese Journal of General Practitioners 2016;15(9):730-733
With the improvement of endoscopic technology,an increasing number of early esophageal cancer is diagnosed by gastroscopy.Regardless of the size or submucous fibrosis of esophageal cancer,endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) allows en bloc resection and histologically complete resection of the tumor.ESD has been recognized as an optimal treatment modality for early esophageal carcinoma.Currently,short-term curative effects of early esophageal cancer after ESD have been proved satisfactory,but the long-term outcomes remain unclear.This paper reviews the research advances about the long-term outcomes of ESD,and focuses on the postoperative stenosis,the recurrence,metastasis and survival rates of patients,to provide treatment reference for clinicians.

China Pharmacy 2016;27(29):4142-4144
OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical efficacy and safety of pidotimod combined with montelukast sodium in the treat-ment of children with bronchial asthma. METHODS:120 children with bronchial asthma were randomly divided into control group and observation group,with 60 cases in each group. Both group were given routine treatment as aerosol inhalation of glucocorticoid and anti-infective treatment. Control group was additionally given Montelukast sodium chewable tablet 5 mg orally,qd,at bed-time;observation group was additionally given Pidotimod capsule 0.4 g,qd,on the basis of control group. Both group received treatment for consecutive 3 months. Clinical efficacies of 2 groups were observed as well as IL-4,IFN-γ,IgE,T lymphocyte sub-set and lung function indexes of 2 groups before and after treatment. The occurrence of ADR were compared between 2 groups. RE-SULTS:The effective rate of observation group was 88.3%,which was significantly higher than that of control group (61.7%). There was no statistical significance in IL-4,IFN-γ,IgE,T lymphocyte subset and lung function indexes between 2 groups before treatment(P>0.05). After treatment,IL-4,IFN-γ,IgE,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+ and lung function of 2 groups were improved signifi-cantly,and the observation group was significantly better than the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Pidotimod combined with monte-lukast sodium is effective for children with bronchial asthma,and can significantly relieve airway inflammation,enhance immunity and improve lung function with good safety.
6.Clinical study of Longji-Huoluo pill with mild manipulation Tuina therapy for the ;teenagers with lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion
International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2016;38(10):891-894
Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of the integration of Longji-Huoluo pill and mild manipulations Tuina therapy for the teenagers with lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion. Methods Eligible teenager patients with lumber intervertebral disc protrusion were randomly classified into two groups according to the single blind method and the treating sequence, 69 patients in the treatment group and 58 patients in the control group. The Longji-Huoluo pill and mild Tuina manipulations were adopted on the basis of the convertional treatment in the treatment group. While ibuprofen sustained release capsules and mecobalamin were given to the control group beside the convertional treatment. Both groups were treated for 4 weeks. The CT examinations were applied before and after the treatments to observe the absorption of the prolapsed lumber intervertebral disc. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to test the pain degree and to estimate the clinical effect. Results The VAS scores in the treatment group (4.03 ± 1.67 vs. 5.41 ± 1.55, t=10.121) and the control group (3.61 ± 1.34 vs. 5.96 ± 1.71, t=11.086) after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment (P<0.05). The sagittal diameters of the prominence in the treatment group (2.12 ± 1.89 mm vs. 4.62 ± 0.34 mm, t=2.281) after treatmentwas significantly lower than that before treatment (P<0.05). The total effective rate of the treatment group was 87.0%(60/69), and the control group was 72.4%(42/58). Statistical significance was detected on the difference of the two groups (U=1.913, P=0.043). Conclusions The integration of manipulations can effectively relieve the pain and can return the prominent disc. The therapeutic effect is considered equivalent to western medicine.
7.Correlation of serum TNFR level with renal function injury in patients with T2DM and normal albumin ;excretion
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2016;23(18):2768-2771
Objective To discuss the correlation of serum TNFR level with renal function injury in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)and normal albumin excretion.Methods 90 T2DMpatients with normal albu-min excretion(24h urine albumin excretion rate <20μg/min)were divided into three groups according to the esti-mated glomerular filtration rate level:eGFR >90mL · min -1 · (1.72m2 )-1 ,eGFR 60 -90mL · min -1 · (1.72m2 )-1 and eGFR <60mL·min -1 ·(1.72m2 )-1 ,30 cases in each group.The serum TNFRs level and related clinical data were measured and analyzed statistically.Results The levels of serum TNFR1,TNFR2 were negatively correlated with eGFR(r =-0.428,-0.335,all P <0.05),and positively correlated with Scr(r =0.476,0.225,all P <0.05)in patients with T2DM and normal albumin excretion.The course of disease and the levels of BUN,Scr, CysC,α1 -MG,β2 -MG were increased as the degree of renal function injury.All these index had statistically signifi-cant differences in three groups(F =3.758,5.851,71.738,25.751,7.530,13.735,all P <0.05).Logistic regres-sion analysis showed that the levels of serum TNFR1,TNFR2 were independent risk factors for renal impairment in patients with T2DMand normal albumin excretion(OR =2.009,1.143,all P <0.05).Conclusion TNFRs may be involved in the development and progression of renal impairment,and may become a new conventional indicator for DN because of reflecting the degree of renal function injury in some extent in T2DMpatients with normal albumin excretion.

Critically ill patients often undergo endotracheal intubation to facilitate mechanical ventila-tion in in tensiv e cra e unit.As these patients er coev r,r espiratory support is gradually reduced until the patient can breathe unadi ed and the endotracheal tube can be removed.There are some complications during the en-dotracheal intubation.Some of them are life-threatening.Such complications might lead to a prlo onged stay in intensive care unit,additional costs,potential morbidity,and mortality.In this article,we wi ll talk abotu two special rp oblems during endotracheal inut bation.
9.Post- traumatic growth and related factors in patients with breast cancer
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2016;32(17):1281-1284
Objective To investigate the posttraumatic growth(PTG)in female patients with breast cancer after operation and the possible influencing factors related to the PTG of these patients. Methods 300 female patients with breast cancer from Oct 2014 to Jan 2015 in 7 third-level grade A hospitals were selected by random number table. The posttraumatic growth inventory (PTGI)was used to study PTG status in these patients. Clinical data including age, degree of education, marital status, underlying disease, clinical stage, surgical method, adjuvant therapy and postoperative complications were univariate analyzed, then the positive factors were logistic regression analyzed. Results The mean PTG score was 59.83±12.90, univariate analysis showed that degree of education (F=15.80, P=0.000), underlying disease (t=3.90,P=0.000), clinical stage (F=10.17, P=0.000), surgical method (t=5.12, P=0.000) and postoperative complications(t=4.85,P=0.000) were influencing factors, while multivariate analysis by logistic regression showed that clinical stag(OR=6.635, P=0.000), surgical method (OR=2.858, P=0.000) and postoperative complications (OR=2.731, P=0.035) were independent influencing factors for female patients with breast cancer after operation. Conclusions The posttraumatic growth status in breast cancer patients undergoing operation declined dramatically. The level of metal change dimension are main clinical features of breast cancer patients. There are close associations between PTG and clinical stag, surgical method and postoperative complications.
10.Clinical analysis of 23 cases of histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis presented as fever of unknown origin
Chinese Journal of General Practitioners 2016;15(6):463-465
We retrospectively analyzed 23 cases of histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis (HNL) admitted to our hospital as fever of unknown origin (FUO).Fever,lymphadenopathy and skin rash were the most common clinical manifestation.The major laboratory features included cytopenia,abnormal liver enzyme and elevated inflammatory markers.Three of the 23 cases were finally diagnosed as infectious disease,5 as autoimmune disease,while the left 15 remained as HNL during the follow-up.Four of the 15 HNL patients resolved spontaneously,while the other 11 relieved by steroid use.Two patients relapsed during the follow-up.HNL was one of the rare causes of FUO.Since it would be accompanied with infectious,autoimmune or malignant diseases,long follow-up is necessary.
