Hydronephrosis is a common and frequent clinical disease. With the extensive application of minimally invasive techniques of Western medicine, it can quickly remove the obstruction and eliminate water. However, there may be problems of easy recurrence after surgery, causing more serious irreversible kidney damage. TCM has a unique advantage in the treatment of hydronephrosis, which can radically relieve the pain of patients, prevent recurrence, and protect the kidney function. Professor SHAO Zhao-di thinks that the cause of hydronephros is deficiency of kidney qi, which affects the function of gasification. Therefore, the treatment should be nourishing qi to invigorate spleen and reinforcing kidney for diuresis. In clinical practice, Bixie Fenqing Decoction can be used to treat hydronephrosis, which can obtain good efficacy.

Objective To explore the impact of dexamethasone on inflammatory response of thyrocytes.Methods Primary thyrocytes were extracted from thyroid tissue of patients with Graves' disease.The cells were stimulated with interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),and cultured in dexamethasone.Thyrocytes were divided into 4 groups:control group,dexamethasone group,TNF-α + IFN-γ group,and dexamethasone+TNF-α+IFN-γ group.Interferon-γ-induced protein 10 (CXCL10) and CCL2 in supernatant of cell cultured in 4 groups were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Cell protein in 4 groups was extracted and GSK-3β,P50,and P100 protein were detected by Western blotting.Results MTT assay demonstrated that 10-5 mmol/L concentration of dexamethasone was optimal for cell culture.The CXCL10 level in TNF-α+IFN-γ group was higher than that in the control group and dexamethasone group (P<0.01),but no difference was found between dexamethasone+TNF-α+IFN-γgroup and TNF-α+IFN-γgroup(P>0.05).The CCL2 level in TNF-α+IFN-γ group was higher than that in control group and dexamethasone group(P<0.01).There was a significant lowering of CCL2 level in dexamethasone + TNF-α + IFN-γgroup compared with TNF-α + IFN-γ group (P < 0.05).The expression of GSK-3β and P100 protein was increased in TNF-α + IFN-γgroup compared with control group.The expression of GSK-3β and P100 protein was lower in dexamethasone+TNF-α + IFN-γ group than that in TNF-α + IFN-γ group.Conclusion TNF-α + IFN-γ could stimulate the secretion of CXCL10 and CCL2 in thyrocytes and thus activate the inflammatory response.Dexamethasone could reduce CCL2 secretion.Dexamethasone had little effect on CXCL10.Dexamethasone could reduce GSK-3β and P100 expressions,and inhibit the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway and thus the inflammatory response.

Medical insurance system plays a key role in China's social security system.In the social insurance system,medical insurance features the widest coverage and the most complex in mechanism,while China' s medical insurance system itself is found with many setbacks.This paper probed into such risks found in the county-level medical insurance system as excessive cost growth causing overpayment of the medical insurance fund and poor supervision of the fund.On such basis,the authors recommended such policy changes as payment reform,and enhanced supervision over the fund,the demand side,and the government,in an effort to optimize China' s medical insurance system for theoretical and decision reference of other county-level hospitals in their reforms.

Objective To evaluate endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for diagnosis and management of biliary cast syndrome after orthotropic liver transplantation. Methods A total of 71 consecutive patients with abnormal liver function and MRCP findings after liver transplantation underwent ERCP for diagnosis and management. Their data were retrospectively reviewed. Results A total of 188 sessions of ERCP were carried out on the 71 patients, most of whom were found to have stenosis of anastomotic stoma and/or bile duct. Bile sludge was found and removed in all patients diagnosed within 3 months after liver transplantation, while pigmentoid stones were found and removed in patients diagnosed within 3-6 months and biliary casts in patients diagnosed at more than 6 months. Each patient underwent 2.6 sessions averagely. Biliary casts were formed at an average time of 22. 7 ± 15.6 months after transplantation. PostERCP complications included 2 cases of pancreatitis and 3 cholangitis, with an occurrence rate of 2. 6%(5/188), which were all controlled with conservative treatment. The follow-up data was available in 56 patients showing improvement in liver function after ERCP, among who 42 met the endoscopic criteria of cure,1 0 received second liver transplantation because of progressive sclerosing cholangitis and 4 died from diseases other than liver transplantation. Conclusion Therapeutic ERCP for the biliary cast syndrome after liver transplantation is feasible, safe and effective, and can be performed repeatedly with good short-term effect.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a newly designed anti-reflux metallic stent (ARMS) for malignant extra-hepatic biliary obstruction. Methods A total of 23 patients with unresectable biliary malignancy in the middle or lower part of common bile duct underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and ARMs placement. The success rate, early complications, stent patency and patients' survival were recorded. Results The ARMSs were successfully placed in all patients and no procedure-related complication was recorded. The average operation time was similar to that of self-expanding metallic stents (SEMs). In 22 patients completing the follow-up, the total serum bilirubin dropped to normal within one month in 20. ARMs dysfunction occurred in 6, including tumor in-growth in 1, overgrowth in 2, and stent dislodgement in 3. Other patients were free of biliary symptoms until death or at the end of follow-up. The average stent patency of ARMs was 14 months. Patency rates at 3, 6, and 12 months were 95%, 74% and 56%, respectively. The mean patient survival was 7. 9 months ( 1-14 months).Postoperative survival rates at 3,6 and 12 months were 91.0%, 81.3% and 17. 2%, respectively. Conclusion Endoscopic placement of novel ARMs in patients with extra-hepatic biliary tumors is feasible,safe and effective.

Objective To investigate the efficiency and safety of endoscopic large balloon dilation following small sphincterotomy (ESBD) for treatment of common bile duct (CBD) stones, and to prospectively compare it with traditional sphincterotomy (ES). Methods Patients with single or multiple calculi in extra-hepatic bile ducts and with the diameter of CBD larger than 13 mm, were randomized into 2 groups to receive maximal sphincterotomy (ES group), or partial sphincterotomy plus sphincteroplasty with 15mm-balloon (ESBD group), respectively, followed by conventional stones removal and/or lithotripsy. The success rate of stone clearance, operation time and related complications were observed. Results A total of 86 patients were enrolled in 2 endoscopy centers, with 2 excluded because of papillary pre-cut in 1 and non-compliance with the protocol in the other, and were randomly divided into groups ES and ESBD, with 42 patients in each. The clinical characteristics, including average diameter of CBD, size and quantity of calculi, and incidences of peri-ampullary diverticulum, of patients in both groups were all similar. Stones clearance with single session in 2 groups were 88% and 93%, respectively (P =0. 531 ). The operation time were (25.76 ± 12. 74) min and (26. 38 ± 12. 86) min ( P = 0. 825 ). The rate of mechanical lithotripsy was 36% and 25%, respectively (P=0. 363). Complications occurred in 5 cases in ES group (3 mild, 2 medium), and 2 mild complications occurred in ESBD group (no statistical difference). No death happened in any group.Conclusion ESBD is an effective method for clearance of extra-hepatic bile duct stones with the similar safety, compared with traditional sphincterotomy. It could be an optimal alternative for those with large stones or difficult sphincterotomy.
