Objective To investigate the pathophysiology mechanism in belching by using high resolution manometry combined with impedance monitoring.Methods Ten belching patients (four male and six female,ages ranged from 28 to 50 years) received high resolution manometry combined with impedance monitoring.The characters of esophageal motility at rest,swallowing and belching and the possible mechanism of belching were analyzed.Results Nine of 10 patients had esophageal peristaltic dysfunction,displaying as non-peristaltic contraction such as non-conduction contraction,interrupt contraction and dropping contraction.The pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) of three patients decreased.LES of one patient had incomplete relaxation.Nine of 10 patients were supragastic belching,in which air moved rapidly into esophagus and reversed exited from the mouth in one second.Among nine supragastic belching patients,the pleural pressure of seven patients increased during inspiration,upper esophageal sphincter relaxed and air was mistaken into the esophagus.The pharyngeal muscle contracted in two patients and the air was forced into esophagus.Of all the patients,intragastric and esophageal pressure increased through abdominal muscles and diaphragm contraction and air exited from the mouth.Conclusions The results of this study indicated that there was esophageal peristaltic dysfunction in belching patients.There was no frequently air swallowing in excessive belching patients,the typical belching model was supragastic belching.

A metabonomics method based on gas chromatography_mass spectrometry ( GC_MS) was developed for detecting the significant differences of root exudates of the Cd hyperaccumulator Sedum alfredii under different treatments and study the effect mechanism of S. alfredii tolerating or accumulating the heavy metal Cd. The root exudates were collected after treatment for 4 and 8 days with 0 and 40μmol/L Cd. The collected solution was lyophilized and dissolved with methanol, and after derivatization with methoxyamine hydrochloride and N_methyl_N_trifluoroacetamide, the samples were analyzed by GC_MS. Principal component analysis ( PCA) and orthogonal partial least_squares discrimination analysis ( OPLS_DA) were carried out for pattern recognition and a clear separation among the different treatments was achieved. Twelve compounds which caused the separation among the different treatments were found and identified. With the change of treatments, the relative amount of these 12 compounds revealed different trends, which indicated that the Cd hyperaccumulator S. alfredii could adjust the secretion of root exudates to tolerate or accumulate the heavy metal Cd.

Objective To investigate the expressions of ?-catenin(?-cat)and ?-catenin(?-cat)and their relation with development and prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods Expressions of ?-cat and ?-cat were immunohistochemically studied in 43 specimens of NSCLC and 7 cases of normal lung tissues.Results Of the 43 NSCLC cases,the abnormal rate of ?-cat and ?-cat expression was 72.1% and 65.1%,respectively.Differentiation and lymph node involvement had a significantly positive correlation with abnormal expression of ?-cat or ?-cat(P

Objective To investigate the efficacy of docetaxel combined with capecitabine in the treatment of patients with locally advanced breast cancer and its effect on immune function.Methods 160 patients with locally advanced breast cancer were randomly divided into observation group and control group.The control group was treated with capecitabine.The patients in the observation group were treated with docetaxel combined with capecitabine.The clinical effective rate, median time to progress, median survival time, one year survival rate and immunoglobulin protein expression levels were observed.Results The clinical effective rate and stable rate in the observation group were 88.75% and 95.00%, which were significantly higher than 68.75% and 87.50% in the control group, the differences were statistically significant (x2=5.89,4.17,all P<0.05).After treatment, the median time to progression, median survival time and one year survival rate of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group (t=3.43,5.09,6.23,all P<0.05).Compared with before treatment, after treatment, the IgG,IgM and IgA levels in the observation group significantly decreased(t=2.34,3.16,3.27,all P<0.05), while those of the control group were not significantly changed (t=0.79,0.22,0.27,all P>0.05).Conclusion Docetaxel combined with capecitabine in the treatment of patients with locally advanced breast cancer can improve the clinical efficacy and stability, prolong the survival time of patients.Compared with using single agent chemotherapy, combined use has no significant effect on human immune function, the effect is better than the use of capecitabine alone, which is worthy of promotion in clinical use.

Objective To study the effect of surface electromyogram-triggered electrical stimulation on lower limb function in hemiplegic stroke patients. Methods Thirty hemiplegic stroke patients were divided into a treatment group ( 15 cases) and a control group ( 15 cases). Both groups were given conventional rehabilitation training.Additionally, the treatment group was given surface electromyogram-triggered electrical stimulation training, while the control group was given common low frequency electrical stimulation. Brunnstrom's recovery stages, the Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) and electromyographic parameters were assessed before and after 3 courses of treatment. Results After treatment both groups had significantly higher Brunnstrom and FMA scores and better integrated electromyograms(iEMG), but the effects in the treatment group were significantly better than in the control group. Conclusions Surface electromyogram-triggered electrical stimulation training can provide satisfactory rehabilitation of lower limb function in hemiplegic stroke patients.

Objective To investigate the anesthetic action of intraperitoneal (i.p.) emulsified isoflurane and determine ED50 and LD50 in rats. Methods One hundred and thirty SD rats aged 6-8 weeks veighing 120-150 g were randomly divided into three groups: (A) control group ( n = 10) ; (B) ED50 group ( n = 60) ; (C) LDSO group (n = 60) . Group B and C were further divided into 6 subgroups with 10 animals (5 male, 5 female) in each subgroup. In control group a single bolus of 30% emulsified fat 2ml/100g body weight was administered i. p. In ED50 group a single bolus of 2.30% -6.0% vol/vol emulaified isoflurane 1.5 ml/100 g was administered i. p. and righting reflex was recorded. In LD50 group a single bolus of 4.09% - 10.64% vol/vol emulsified isoflurane 2 ml?100 g-1 was given i.p. and toxic response and lethal dose were recorded. The concentration ratio of the two neighbouring subgroups was 1:0.825. Results The ED50 of emulsified isoflurane was (0.57?0.07) ml.kg-1 and 95% confidence limit (CL) was (0.51-0.64)ml?kg-1 . The average onset time of action was (2.64 ?0.99) min and the average duration of action was (28 ? 11) min. The LD50 of emulsified isoflurane was (1. 26 ?0.10) ml?kg-1 and 95% confidence limit was 1.10-1.45 ml?kg-1 . The therapeutic index (LD50/ED50)was 2. 24. Conclusion Intraperitoneal emulsified isoflurane can provide effective general anesthesia and can be used for animal experiments which need anesthesia of short duration.

Objective: To explore the association between dietary patterns and overweight and obesity among primary and middle school students, so as to provide the guidance of diet balance and obesity prevention for students. Methods: Students from 11 primary and middle schools in Tongzhou District, Beijing Municipality, were selected using the stratified cluster sampling method. Demographic information was collected through a general questionnaire, and dietary intake types and frequencies over the past week were assessed using a food frequency questionnaire. Dietary patterns were determined using factor analysis, and the dietary pattern factor scores were divided into Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 groups based on quartiles. Height and weight were collected through physical examinations, and Z-scores of body mass index adjusted for gender and age were calculated to assess overweight and obesity. The association between dietary patterns and overweight and obesity was analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 1 485 students were surveyed, including 745 males (50.17%) and 740 females (49.83%). The mean age was (12.87±2.86) years. Three dietary patterns were identified: animal and plant protein dietary pattern, high-fat and high-sugar dietary pattern, and vegetable-fruit-dairy dietary pattern. The detection rates of overweight and obesity were 42.57%, 48.42%, and 34.75%, respectively, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the vegetable-fruit-dairy dietary pattern, the animal and plant protein dietary pattern (OR=1.406, 95%CI: 1.084-1.823) and the high-fat and high-sugar dietary pattern (OR=2.137, 95%CI: 1.643-2.779) were associated with a higher risk of overweight and obesity among primary and middle school students. Compared with the Q1 group of dietary pattern factor scores, the Q3 group (OR=1.631, 95%CI: 1.206-2.208) and Q4 group (OR=1.965, 95%CI: 1.446-2.671) of the high-fat and high-sugar dietary pattern had an increased risk of overweight and obesity, while the Q4 group of the vegetable-fruit-dairy dietary pattern (OR=0.551, 95%CI: 0.406-0.747) had a reduced risk of overweight and obesity. There was no statistical association between factor scores of animal and plant protein dietary pattern and overweight and obesity (all P>0.05). Conclusions The animal and plant protein dietary pattern and the high-fat and high-sugar dietary pattern are associated with a higher risk of overweight and obesity among primary and middle school students. Within the same dietary pattern, the more inclined students are to the high-fat and high-sugar dietary pattern, the higher their risk of overweight and obesity, while the more inclined they are to the vegetable-fruit-dairy dietary pattern, the lower their risk of overweight and obesity.

The microbial transformation of buflomedil by Cunninghamella blakesleana AS 3.153 was studied, as well as a microbial model which can be used to mimic metabolism of buflomedil in mammal was established. Experiments were conducted to screen the capabilities of four strains of Cunninghamella species to transform buflomedil, in which C. blakesleana AS 3.153 was selected for a preparative biotransformation. Furthermore, the microbial model was established based on the transformation condition optimization. The parent drug and its metabolites produced by C. blakesleana AS 3.153 were detected by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method and three metabolites were identified while two of them were new found metabolites. Two major metabolites, para-O-desmethyl buflomedil and 12-C-oxidated buflomedil, were isolated by semi-preparative HPLC. Based on the comparison between different species, the microbial transformation of buflomedil by C. blakesleana AS 3.153 is more similar to the metabolism of buflomedil in human and Beagle dog than that in rat.
