Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of two kinds of dosage of 5-aminosalicylic acid zinc enteric-coated capsule in treatment of active ulcerative colitis (UC). Methods The muhicentre, double blind, dosage reaction and contrast trial was conducted in six hospitals during March 2004 to Sep. 2004. One hundred and eight patients with UC were randomly allocated into the high dosage (n= 36, 1 g, bid) and the low dosage (n = 36, 0.5 g, bid) of 5-aminosalicylic acid zinc enteric-coated capsule groups, and the Olsalazine sodium group (n = 36, 1 g, tid) with a 8-week treatment. The efficacy and adverse events of 5-aminosalicylic acid zinc enteric-coated capsule were evaluated based on the clinical presentations and endoscopic findings. Results The clinical efficacy was 68.97% in high dosage group, 45. 45% in low dosage group and 62.86% in Olsalazine sodium group with no significant difference (P>0. 05). The endoscopic examination showed that the healing rate of UC in high dosage group and low dosage group was 51.72% and 21.21%, respectively, whereas the efficacy rate was 82.76% and 69.70% respectively. The results showed that high dosage was more effective than low dosage (P=0.023), but was similar to Olsalazine sodium (healing rate of 34.29% and effective rate of 88.57% ,P>0. 05). Diarrhea was main adverse event, which was accounted for 2.8% (1/36) in high dosage group and 2.8% (1/36) in the Olsalazine sodium group. There was no adverse event in low dosage group. Conclusions 5-aminosalicylic acid zinc enteric-coated capsule is an effective agent in treatment of UC, especially in high dosage. It is similar to Olsalazine sodium in treatment of UC, and has advantages in reducing medication times.

Objective To study the change rules with age in morphologic properties of common carotid artery,and to discuss its aging process after kidney transplantation.Methods Thirty-one patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) supported by hemodialysis,31 kidney transplant recipients (KTR) and 84 control subjects were offered an ultrasound of carotid artery.The carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) and common carotid artery diameter (CCAD) of right carotid arteries were measured by ultrasonic frequency tracking.The tends for slope of CIMT and CCAD with age were analyzed by linear regression analysis.Results Compared with KTR group and control group,ESRD group had significantly thicker CIMT and wider CCAD,but there was no significant difference between KTR group and control group.The linear regression showed the development of CIMT were positively associated with age (P＜0.05).Compared with KTR group and ESRD group respectively,the slope of CIMT with age (unstandardized coefficients b) in control group was greater (Z=1.417,P =0.006;Z =2.223,P＜0.001).There was no significant difference between KTR group and ESRD group (Z =1.038,P =0.723).The development of CCAD were also positively associated with age (P＜0.05).Compared with control group,the slope of CCAD with age in ESRD group was less (Z =1.677,P =0.002).Conclusions After successful kidney transplantation,some morphologic properties of carotid artery are improved and resume the normal aging process.

Objective To evaluate the effect of ilaprazole enteric tablets on intragastric pH in duodenal ulcer patients. Methods A randomized, double blind, positive controlled clinical trial was carried out. A total of forty-two patients with duodenal ulcer were randomized into low dose ilaprazole group (5 mg/d), medium dose ilaprazole group (10 mg/d), high dose ilaprazole group(20 mg/d) and omeprazole group(20 mg/d). An ambulatory 24 hour intragastric pH study was performed at the fifth treatment day. Fraction time pH above 3, 4 or 5, median values of 24 hour diurnal pH and 12 hour nocturnal pH, the percentage of patients with total time pH above 3, 4 or 5 at least for 18 hours were evaluated. Results There were no significant differences of fraction time pH above 3 or 4, median values of 24 hour diurnal pH and 12 hour nocturnal pH and the percentage of patients with total time pH above 3, 4 or 5 at least for 18 hours among all the groups with different doses of ilaprazole and the omeprazole group. The fraction time pH above 5 in medium and high dose ilaprazole groups were (87.96 ± 12. 29)% and (89.86±15. 18)% respectively, which was higher than that in low dose ilaprazole group [(67. 17± 30. 16)%] and omeprazole group[(76. 14 ± 16. 75)%], P <0. 05. Conclusion Ilaprazole has a strong effect on intragastric acid control with a dose dependent trend.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ilaprazole sodium for injection in the treatment of peptic ulcer bleeding.Methods It was designed as a multi-center,stratified randomized,double-blind,positive drug parallel controlled and non-inferiority study.From October 2014 to April 2015,at 40 hospitals,patients with peptic ulcer hemorrhage confirmed by gastroendoscopy were enrolled and divided into the ilaprazde sodium group (10 mg ilaprazole sodium for injection every 24 h,the first dose doubled) and the positive control group (40 mg of omeprazole sodium for injection every 12 h).The course of both treatment was 72 h.The hemostasis rate of overall group at 72 h,the clinical rebleeding rate at four to seven days,the blood transfusion rate,the incidence of switching to other treatments and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.A chi-square test or Fisher's exact probability method were performed for statistical analysis.Results A total of 533 patients with peptic ulcer bleeding were enrolled,355 patients in the ilaprazole sodium group and 178 patients in the positive control group.The hemostasis rates of ilaprazole sodium group and positive control group at 72 h were 97.69 ％ (339/347) and 97.14 ％ (170/175),respectively,and the difference was not statistically significant (P＞0.05).There were no rebleeding patients in both groups at four to seven days.The blood transfusion rates of ilaprazole sodium group and positive control group were 5.07 ％ (18/355) and 3.37 ％ (6/178).The incidence of switching to other treatments was 0.56％ (2/355) and 0.56％ (1/178),respectively,and the differences were not statistically significant (both P＞ 0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions in the ilaprazole sodium group was 3.94％ (14/355),which was lower than that of positive control group (8.43％,15/178).And the difference was statistically significant (Fisher's exact probability method,P=0.042).Conclusions The efficacy of ilaprazole sodium for injection in the treatment of peptic ulcer bleeding is similar to that of omeprazole sodium for injection.Moreover,the smaller the dose,the lower the frequency of administration and the better the safety.

Objective To analyze the relation between carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and the shear rate (SR),and to explore the effect of SR on IMT in the patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD)and the kidney transplant recipients (KTR).Methods From March 2014 to December 2015,31 KTR and 31 patients with ESRD supported by hemodialysis and 84 control subjects underwent an carotid ultrasound in Shanghai General Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University.Bilateral carotid IMT and SR were measured.The differences of IMT and SR in three groups were compared by single factor analysis of variance.SNK-q test was used to compare the two groups.The correlation between SR and bilateral IMT was analyzed by linear regression analysis in healthy control group,ESRD group and KTR group.Results On the right,in ESRD,KTR and control group,the IMTs were (561.9± 147.7) μm,(480.5±90.3) μtm and (529.7±131.80) μtm respectively.Compared with KTR and control group,the IMT on right was thickest in ESRD,but there was no significant difference between KTR and control group in right IMT.On the left,the IMTs were (517.5± 164.7) μm,(506.7± 126.3) μm and (467.0± 106.4) μm in control group,ESRD and KTR,respectively.Among groups,there was no significant difference.On the right,the SRs were (134.01 ±56.4) s-1,(133.4±43.7) s-1 and (175.8±68.3) s-1 in ESRD,KTR and control group,respectively.In ESRD and KTR groups,the SR of the right carotid artery was less than that of the control group,and had significant difference (q=3.133,P=0.002;q=3.470,P ＜ 0.001).There was no significant difference in right SR between ESRD and KTR.On the left,the SRs were (146.3±55.9) s-1,(138.5±43.8) s-1 and (154.7±60.8) s-1 in ESRD,KTR and control group,respectively,and had no significant difference.There was linear negative correlation between SR and IMT in healthy control group,ESRD group and KTR group,respectively (right:r=-0.384,-0.082,-0.454;left:r=-0.572,0.223,-0.276,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The IMT was thickened in ESRD group,but got thinning after successful kidney transplantation.The SR played a vital role in this alteration of IMT.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the parental acceptance of dental treatment under general anesthesia and deep sedation in children and assess the changes in postoperative oral health-related quality of life and treatment efficacy. METHODS: The parents of 131 children undergoing dental treatment in the Department of Stomatology of Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital from January, 2022 to June, 2022 were surveyed using a questionnaire of children's advanced oral behavior management, and 83 children receiving general anesthesia or deep sedation for dental treatment between January, 2018 and December, 2021 were also investigated for changes in quality of life after the treatment using a questionnaire. The treatment efficacy was assessed at the 1-year follow-up visit in 149 children who received dental treatment under general anesthesia or deep sedation during the same period. RESULTS: The survey of perantal acceptance showed that 62.6% of the parents preferred deep sedation, 29.01% preferred general anesthesia, and 8.4% preferred compulsory treatment. Dental treatments under general anesthesia and deep sedation both significantly improved oral health-related quality of life of the children. While dental surgeries under general anesthesia resulted in the most significant improvement of pain symptoms, deep sedation was associated with both obvious relief of the children's pain symptoms and reduction of the parents' pressure level. No significant difference was found in the efficacy of treatments under general anesthesia and deep sedation at the 1-year follow-up. CONCLUSION Dental treatment in children under deep sedation has the highest parental acceptance, followed by treatment under general anesthesia, and the acceptance of compulsory treatment is the lowest. The treatments under general anesthesia and deep sedation significantly improve the quality of life of the children and their parents and both have good treatment efficacy.
