Objective:To observe the curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine on non-alcoholic fatty liver patients and CTN(computerized tomographynumber)of liver,than to appraise the role of assessment and diagnosis on non-alcoholic fatty liver for CT.Methods:60 patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver were divided into treatment group and contrast group in average,the patients in treatment group were treated by Xiaozhihugan capsule and Dangfeiliganning capsule,and those in contrast group were treated by Kezhi capsule and Shuifeijibin capsule.Changes of symptom,liver function,blood fat,ultrasonic report and liver CTN were observed.Results:In the treat group,the liver function,blood fat and liver CT value were improved obviously,which had superiority to that of contrast group.CT can diagnose the degree of fatty liver accurately and appraise curative effect,but ultrasonic report has no specific data and is inconvenient to statistics.Conclusions:Treatment group has notable curative effect on non-alcoholic fatty liver;CT is the important index of diagnosis and appraisement of curative effect on non-alcoholic fatty liver.

Objective To investigate the correlation of metabolism disturbance of oxygen free radical(OFR) with endometriosis and endometrioma, to provide an evidence for the diagnosis and treatment. Methods (1) The lipid peroxide (LPO), selenium (Se), superxide dismutase (SOD) and vitamine E (VE) levels were respectively in the vein blood, ovary tissue of the chocolate cyst wall and chocolate cyst fluid in 32 operated patients with endometriosis (endometriosis group). (2) The levels above were determined seperately in 23 operated patients with endometrioma (endometrioma group) and 30 cases of hysteroma (control group). Results (1)The LPO levels in vein blood and ovary tissue of endometriosis group were (6 357?1 251) ?mol/L and (3 735?1 546) nmol/g protein. Which significantly higher than those of control group ( P 0 05). Conclusion The endome triosis and endometrioma is related to the produce or metabolistic inbalance of oxygen free radical, and so to the increasing of lipid peroxide.

Objective　To study distribution of the calcitonin gene-related peptide-immunoreactive fibers in the cremaster arteries of the rat.Methods　The distribution of the calcitonin gene-related peptide-immunoreactive fibers in the cremaster arteries had been studied by means of ABC technique.Results　The calcitonin gene-related peptide-immunoreactive fibers were observed on all branches of cremaster arteries.The immunoreative fibers in first and second branches of the arteries exhibited the denser grains and denser mass,but in third branches,the network of the fibers was obvious.The density of the immunoreactive fibers reduced following the bifurcations of the arteries.The network of the fibers also could be found in the capillary.Conclusion　The results demonstrated that the distribution of calcitonin gene-related peptide immunoreactive fibers might be related to the physiological regulation and microcirculation of the cremaster arteries.It formed the morphological basis for experimental model of researching nerve regulation in the microcirculation.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of Huatan Xiezhuo Recipe (HTXZR) on fatty liver of rats. METHODS: Forty-eight SD rats were randomly divided into five groups: normal control group, untreated group, Dongbao Gantai Tablet (DBGTT)-treated group, low-dose HTXZR-treated group and high-dose HTXZR-treated group. Fatty liver was induced in the rats by hyperlipid diet and intraperitoneal injection of tetracycline. The pathological changes of liver tissues in rats were observed, and the liver function, serum leptin, insulin resistance index, triglyceride (TG) and free fatty acid (FFA) in the liver were detected. RESULTS: The levels of serum leptin, insulin resistance index, FFA and TG in rats of the three treated groups were lower than those of the untreated group (P<0.01), and such effects in the HTXZR-treated groups were more significant than those in the DBGTT-treated group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The main action mechanisms of HTXZR in treating fatty liver are probably to promote the lipid metabolism, decrease the leptin and insulin resistance.

Objective To investigate the relation between the apotosis of B cells in the peripheral blood (PB) and the expression of interleukin (IL)-17 in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods The proportions of apoptosis of B cells in the PB of 80 patients with RA and 80 healthy controls were measured by flow cytometry.B cells in the PB of 20 RA and 20 healthy individuals were isolated by MACS and Western blotting was used to detect the Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 protein levels.IL-17 levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).T-test and linear regression were used to analyze the data.Results The proportions of apoptosis of B cells in the PB of patients with RA and healthy controls were (14±6)％ and (24±9)％ respectively.The rate of apoptosis of B cells in patients with RA was significantly less than healthy controls (t=2.737,P=0.021).The Bcl-2 protein level of B cells in the PB of patients with RA group was significantly higher than that of control group (26±10,12±6,P＜0.01).Conversely,the Caspase-3 protein level of B cells in the PB of patients with RA group was significantly lower than that of the control group (16±7,31±12,P＜0.01).ELISA detected elevated level of serum IL-17 in the patients with RA as compared with controls [(69±19),(27±10) pg/ml,t=4.631,P=0.014].There was a negative correlation between the level of IL-17 and apoptosis of B cells in patients with RA (r=0.36,P＜0.01).Conclusion The elevated bcl-2 and reduced caspase-3 of B cells in patients with RA further proves there is abnormal apoptosis of B cells in RA patients.There is negative correlation between the expression of IL-17 and apoptosis of B cells in patients with RA and IL-17 can inhibit B cell apoptosis.

Objective To evaluate food intolerance sensitivity among 2962 health check-up receivers from the First Hospital of China Medical University.Methods Serum samples of 2962 adults were collected from January 2008 to June 2010.Serum allergen-specific IgG antibodies of 14 kinds of food were detected by ELISA.The data were analyzed by using One-way analysis of variance.Results In this study,the rate of food intolerance was 0.4%(mushrooms) to 38.0%(eggs).Higher rates of food intolerance were found in egg,crab,shrimp,milk,and cod fish(Eggs 32.5%,crabs 26.0%,shrimps 19.8%,milk 13.8%,and cod fish 12.0% respectively).However,wheat,pork,and mushroom showed relatively lower rates of food intolerance(Wheat 0.8%,pork 0.4%,and mushrooms1.4% respectively).Positive reaction to food intolerance was even stronger in women(9.4% versus 8.2%).Conclusion It is discovered by study that in general population,the diversity of intolerance among different food is associated with 4 factors: gender; age; feature of food; individual diversity.It is recommended that the status of intolerance to food in the general population be investigated by health management.

Objective:To explore the value of the quantitative fecal immunochemical test (FIT) for primary colorectal cancer screening in health check-up population.Methods:A total of 468 health check-up participants who underwent quantitative FIT and colonoscopy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2018 to December 2019 were enrolled into this study. The participants were divided into two groups-the negative group(FIT<100 μg/L)and the positive group(FIT≥100 μg/L) according to the results of the quantitative FIT. We compared the detection rate of colorectal polyps and colorectal advanced cancer between the two groups, and analyzed the sensitivity and specificity of the quantitative FIT for advanced colorectal cancer and the risk factors of colorectal polyps.Results:The positive rate of quantitative FIT in the healthy population was about 4.6% (95% CI: 4.27%-4.93%). The detection rate of colorectal polyps in the positive group was significantly higher than that of the negative group (51.53%, 95% CI: 45.81%-57.25%) vs (34.28%, 95% CI: 27.25%-41.31%, P<0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of the quantitative FIT for advanced colorectal cancer was 98.55% and 56.77%, respectively. The positive predictive value of the quantitative FIT for advanced colorectal cancer was 50.37%, while the negative predictive value was 98.88%. With the increase of FIT value, the detection rate of advanced cancer was increased (χ2 =20.08, P<0.001). The multivariate logistic regression of colorectal cancer suggested that the risk of colorectal polyps in patients with a history of diabetes was significantly higher ( OR=3.28, 95% CI: 1.45-7.41, P=0.004); the risk of colorectal polyps in men was also significantly higher ( OR=3.05, 95% CI: 1.40-6.65, P=0.005). Conclusions:Quantitative FIT is an ideal non-invasive examination for primary colorectal cancer screening for a health check-up population. Patients with negative FIT are less likely to develop colorectal cancer. Diabetes history, male, and age are independent risk factors for colorectal cancer.
