Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common liver disease with multiple factors involved,and its incidence is gradually increasing around the world.Recent studies have found that gut microbiota is involved in the development and progression of NAFLD.This article summarizes the association between gut microbiota and NAFLD from the aspects of influencing factors for gut microbiota and the roles of gut microbiota and its metabolites in the development and progression of NAFLD and points out that the intervention of gut microbiota and its metabolites may be a new target for the prevention and treatment of NAFLD.

Objective:To observe different effects of moxibustion at Zusanli (ST 36) and Yanglingquan (GB 34) on electrogastrogram (EGG) of patients with functional dyspepsia (FD). Methods:A total of 65 cases were randomized into a Zusanli (ST 36) group (n=33) and a Yanglingquan (GB 34) group (n=32) by random serial number, to receive moxibustion therapy to the corresponding point respectively. The 8-lead EGG was used before and after treatment to collect EGG parameter of the gastric body, antrum of stomach, lesser curvature and greater curvature, including the dominant frequency, slow wave percentage, average frequency, response area and motility index. Results:After treatment, the dominant frequency and slow wave percentage were improved in nearly the whole stomach area in Zusanli (ST 36) group, showing statistical significances (bothP<0.05); the slow wave percentage and average frequency were improved in stomach body and antrum of stomach in Yanglingquan (GB 34) group, showing statistical significances (bothP<0.05); moxibustion at Zusanli (ST 36) had a significantly higher influence on EGG than Yanglingquan (GB 34) , in which the lifting of slow wave percentage was significantly higher than Yanglingquan (GB 34) group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Moxibustion at Zusanli (ST 36) and Yanglingquan (GB 34) has the effect of adjusting abnormal EGG pattern in FD patients. Compared with Yanglingquan (GB 34), Zusanli (ST 36) has a superior effect in improving EGG in stomach area.

AIM: To establish a standard for quality control of Xinfang Biyan Capsule(Radix Saponikovae, Radix Angelicae Dahuricae, Radix Scutellariae, etc.). METHODS: TLC and HPLC were used. RESULTS: Flos Magnoliae, Radix Saponikovae, Flos Chrysanthemi, Radix Bupleuri in the capsule could be identified by TLC, and baicalin content in the capsule could be measured by RP-HPLC with a linear relatioship at a range of 0.243 ?g- 2.43 ?g(r= 0.999 8 ). The average recovery was 98.15% and RSD was 0.15% . CONCLUSION: The methods are accurate and can be used for the quality control of Xinfang Biyan Capsules.

AIM: To analyze the pathogens and drug sensitivity of chronic dacryocystitis in order to provide evidence for clinical drug use.
METHODS:Lacrimal secretion of 171 cases with chronic dacryocystitis was sampled for pathogenic bacteria culture identification and drug sensitivity test. Based on the results, the isolation rate of pathogens strains, the pathogens kind of chronic dacryoeystitis, main pathogens of chronic dacryocystitis, and sensitive drug for pathogens were analyzed.
RESULTS: The isolation rate of pathogens strains was 76. 61% ( 131 cases ). The pathogens constituting the chronic dacryocystitis were predominantly gram-positive coccus,the percentage was 72. 52% (95 cases), among which staphylococcus hominis occupied 27. 48% ( 36 cases), staphylococcus epidermidis 16. 79% (22 cases), streptococcus viridans 12. 98% (17 cases). The majority of these bacteria were sensitive to cefoperazone-sulbactam, tobramycin, gentamicin and levofloxacin. For gram -positive coccus, cefoperazone - sulbactam, gentamicin and tobramycin were the most sensitive drug. For gram-negative bacilli, cefoperazone - sulbactam, tobramycin and levofloxacin were most sensitive drug.
CONCLUSION: Staphylococcus hominis is the main pathogen of chronic dacryocystitis, tobramycin can be used as the first choice for local treatment of chronic dacryocystitis.

0.05).Every one of the patients completed hemodialysis except one needing to rebuild blood circulation by changing another dialyzer, whose vein pressure became higher and the dislyzer was of cruor as it was difficult to build blood circulation. The rate of success has reached 99 percent. Conclusion There is no influence upon the general cruor mechanism when using hemophan dialyzers to heparin-free hemodialysis treat the acute or chronic renal failure. This simple method is not only effective but also safe, which can provide a reliable measure to rescue patients suffering from acute or chronic renal failure with serious tendency of hemorrhage.

Objective To study the clinical value of human kallikrein 2 detection on the early diagnosis ,prognosis and therapeu‐tic means of patients with prostate cancer .Methods 25 patients with prostate cancer and 25 patients with benign prostatic hyper‐plasia who were treated in affiliated hospital of Guangzhou Medical University between January 2015 and December 2015 were se‐lected as research objects .Their human kallikrein 2 and prostate specific antigen level were detected by ELISA and RIA .25 cases of prostatic cancer after operation of our hospital in synchronization were randomly selected as research objects and their human kal‐likrein 2 level was detected and analysed .All the data was modeling processed by SPSS21 .0 .Results Human kallikrein 2 level of PCa group ,BPH group and healthy group was(75 .5 ± 24 .5)ng/L ,(23 .3 ± 5 .8)ng/L and(22 .2 ± 3 .56)ng/L respectively ,which of PCa group was higher than that of BPH group and healthy group .The difference had statistical significance(P<0 .05) .The specific and accuracy of hK2 detecting PCa was 89% and 78% .Compared with before operation[(80 .2 ± 24 .5)ng/L] ,hK2 level of 25 pa‐tients with prostate cancer[(34 .4 ± 10 .5)ng/L] significantly decreased and the difference had statistical significance(P<0 .05) . Conclusion On diagnosing prostate cancer ,human kallikrein 2 can improve specific detection ,reduce unnecessary detected rate and provide the new direction for early clinical detection ,prognosis and therapy .It deserves further promotion .

Objectives To investigate the prevalance of quinolone resistance in Laribacter hongkongensis and to evaluate the influence of agar dilution and disc diffusion methods on susceptibility testing for the bacterium. Methods Susceptibility to quinolones of L.hongkongensis was tested by agar dilution and disc diffusion methods. The results for both methods were compared. Results L.hongkongensis isolates exhibited different susceptibility rate for quinolones (levofloxacin>ciprofloxacin>norfloxacin>nalidixic acid). All of the fish isolates were susceptible to levofloxacin and more than 90%were susceptible to ciprofloxacin and Norfloxacin. However,by agar dilution, only 62.50%, 37.50%,48.21%, 19.64%of the frogs isolates were susceptible to levofloxacin, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, nalidixic acid, respectively. For fish isolates, comparision of susceptibilities between agar dilution and disc diffusion showed a high (> 95%) percentage agreement for levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin and the highest crepancies were observed with norfloxacin (100%) .But it showed a high discrepancy when comparing the two methods for frogs isolates. Conclusions The resistance rate of L. hongkongens to quinolones was high , especially for frog isolates. The results suggested the use of agar dilution on susceptibility testing for quinolones in L. hongkongensis.
