1.Advance in Application of Fecal Markers for Evaluating Disease Activity in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Chinese Journal of Gastroenterology 2015;(4):248-251
Inflammatory bowel disease( IBD)is a group of chronic nonspecific intestinal diseases characterized by a clinical relapsing-remitting behavior. The evaluation of disease activity is concerned by clinicians all the time. With the evolving in recognition of the pathogenesis of IBD,many novel biomarkers are emerging in recent years. This article reviewed advances in the accepted and ongoing research fecal markers of IBD.
2.An analysis of clinical characteristics of autoimmune pancreatitis
Chinese Journal of Internal Medicine 2010;49(11):943-946
Objective To increase the appreciation of manifestations in autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) and to decrease misdiagnosis rate by investigating the clinical characteristics of AIP. Methods Clinical data were collected and laboratory ,imaging and histopathology were analyzed from the Chinese PLA General Hospital from 1995 to 2009. Patients with AIP were included in the study. Results Eight patients (male 6, female 2) aged 35-69 (52.4 ±9.4) years were diagnosed as AIP from 2006 to 2009. The main clinical manifestations include intermittent jaundice in 6 cases (6/8), abdominal pain in 5 cases (5/8),weight loss in 4 cases (4/8), and accompanied with other diseases of immune system in 4 cases (4/8).The imaging showed head of pancreas enlargement in 3 cases (3/8) and whole pancreas enlargement in 5 cases (5/8). There is a "banana-peel like" ring around the pancreas and irregular stenosis of pancreatic duct. Massive lymphocytes and plasma cells infiltration and parenchymal fibrosis were shown in pancreatic tissues, bile duct,salivary gland and liver in pathology. Clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations and images in 7 cases (7/8) were improved after treatment with prednisone. Twenty-two of them were misdiagnosed as pancreatic or biliary carcinoma and 21 were performed laparotomy in the period of 1995-2005 ( 23 cases). After 2006, however, the misdiagnosis rate significantly decreased from 95.7% ( 22/23 ) to 0. Conclusions AIP seems to be a systemic autoimmune disease rather than an isolated disorder,markedly overlapping with other autoimmune diseases. Definitive diagnosis can be improved by the detection of immune parameters and pathological examination.
3.Study on relationship among expression of IGF-1 in peri-hematomal brain region,excessive and depletion syndrome of stroke after cerebral hemorrhage
International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2012;34(3):207-209
Objective To observe the expression of IGF-1 in the peri-hematomal brain region of Intracerebral Hemorrhage(ICH) patients,and to investigate the relationship among IGF-1,excessive and depletion syndrome of stroke.Methods 28 patients were evenly and randomly recruited into 3groups:Yin excessive group,Yang excessive group and depletion group.Additional 6 persons of normal death within 3 hours were taken their brain tissue.The IGF-1 expression was detected with Western blotting method.The correlation among the expression of IGF-1,excessive and depletion syndromes were observed.Results The expression of IGF-1 in the peri-hematomal brain region of ICH patients significantly increased in comparison with the normal control group (P=0.00).The expression of IGF-1 was significantly different among Yang excessive,Yin excessive and the depletion syndromes [ (0.696±0.111)、(1.151 ±0.185)、(1.697±0.108),P<0.01],with the expression of IGF-1 of depletion syndrome ranked the highest,followed by Yin excessive and Yang excessive syndrome.Conclusion The expression of IGF-1 could reflect the degree of brain impairment.
4.Therapeutic effect of LEEP in the treatment of patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and its influence on pregnancy outcome
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2013;20(21):3229-3231
Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP)in the treatment of patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and its influence on pregnancy outcome.Methods 62 women with CIN who underwent LEEP were selected as treatment group,and 63 women with CIN who did not undergo LEEP in the same period were selected as control group.Then the curative effect and the pregnancy outcome were observed.Results The total effective rate was 93.65% in the treatment group and 76.19% in the control group,the difference was significant (x2 =7.034,P < 0.01).The operation blood loss,operation time and the day of colporrhagia after operation in the treatment group were less than those in the control group(all P < 0.05).There were no significant differences in the gestational age,incidence rates of abortion and cesarean section between the two groups (all P > 0.05),while there were significant difference in the incidences of preterm delivery,premature rupture of membrane and low birth weight infant (all P < 0.05).Conclusion LEEP is an effective treatment for patients with CIN,which can increase the incidence rates of preterm delivery,premature rupture of membrane and low birth weight infant,but not increase the gestational age,incidence rates of abortion and cesarean section.

Objective To diagnose retinal detachment with International Classification of Diseases10 (ICD-10) and to analyze the surgical modalities of vitrectomy for the disease.Methods The clinical data of 1 648 hospitalized patients with retinal detachment undergoing vitrectomy in our hospital in 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Results The ICD etiological classification showed that primary retinal detachment accounted for 50.18% (827/1 648),tractional retinal detachment accounted for 32.52% (536/1 648),exudative retinal detachment accounted for 0.61% (10/1 648)and other types accounted for 16.69% (275/ 1 648).The top 5 common etiological diagnoses were simple rhegrnatogenous retinal detachment (25.73%,424/1 648),diabetic tractional retinal detachment (12.62%,208/1 648),traumatic retinal detachment (12.08%,199/1 648),other primary retinal detachment (11.23%,185/1 648) and retinal detachment after intraocular surgery (10.62%,175/1 648).The top 4 modalities of vitrectomy were combined silicone oil implanting surgery (54.73%,902/1 648),basic vitrectomy (21.97%,362/1 648),combined silicone oil and lenticular surgery (14.38%,237/1 648) and combined lenticular surgery (5.58%,92/1 648).Conclusions Modern vitrectomy is used mainly for the treatment of primary retinal detachment and the treatment of retinal detachment related to diabetes,ocular trauma and intraocular surgeries.The complexity of various retinal detachment diseases requires different surgical modalities of vitrectomy for treatment.

Purpose: To investigate a clinical treatment for allergic asthma. Method: Acupoint application was used, and its effect was compared with that of Western medicine to evaluate the results. Results and Conclusion: It was found that the long-tern effect of acupoint application was significantly better than that of aminophylline; acupoint application had obviously different effects on different types of asthma based on TCM differentiation of syndromes; its short-term effect was not significantly related to the course and condition of the disease. It is indicated that acupoint application is an effective, convenient and safe treatment with little side effect for asthma.

BACKGROUND:There are more ways of internal fixation in treatment of elderly intertrochanteric fracture;however, how to choose a fixed way is the key issue of ensuring the efficacy. OBJECTIVE:To compare the therapeutic effect of proximal femoral anti-rotation intramedul ary nail and proximal femoral locking plate in the treatment of elderly femoral intertrochanteric fractures. METHODS:Total y 100 patients with femoral intertrochanteric fractures who received the treatment at Qionghai City People’s Hospital from December 2009 to December 2013 were randomly divided into locking plate and anti-rotation intramedul ary nail groups. Patients in the anti-rotation intramedul ary nail group underwent internal fixation using proximal femoral anti-rotation intramedul ary nail. Patients in the locking plate group underwent internal fixation using proximal femoral locking plate. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the locking plate group, the amount of bleeding, operation time, postoperative bed activity time and hospital stay in the anti-rotation intramedul ary nail group significantly reduced, the excel ent rate of Harris scores was significantly increased after 1 year of internal fixation and the incidence of complications and adverse reactions was significantly decreased. There was no host response to the material in these two groups.
