Neuroendocrine tumors of the epiglottis were extremely rare. Patients normally had no obvious symptoms and signs of early stage. Epiglottis lingual except (without) tubercle of epiglottis, and hyperplastic mass were observed by using laryngoscopy and also confirmed by biopsy and immunohistochemistry. Immunohis- tochemical studies showed that Syn, a broad spectrum endocrine marker, and CgA, a specific marker of endocrine tumor, were both positive. Which is consistent with the diagnosis of neuroendocrine carcinoma.

Objective:To explore the effect of bifidobacterium tetravaccine tablets combined with low-dose erythromycin on the efficacy and motilin (MTL) levels in the treatment of children with functional dyspepsia (FD).Methods:One hundred and fifty children with FD admitted to Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center from January 2019 to June 2020 were selected and were divided into two groups by random number table, with 75 cases in each group. The control group was treated with bifidobacterium tetravaccine tablets, and the observation group was treated with low-dose erythromycin on the basis of control group. The clinical efficacy and the disappearance time of the clinical symptoms of the two groups were compared. The changes in the frequency of gastric antrum contraction (ACF), the amplitude of gastric antrum contraction (ACA), the gastric antral movement index (MI) were detected by ultrasonic developing-out unit before and after treatment. The levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), nitric oxide (NO), gastrin (GAS) and MTL were detected before and after the treatment using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The incidence of adverse reactions was counted. The recurrence rate was recorded after 6 months of the treatment.Results:The total effective rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group:93.33% (70/75) vs. 78.67% (59/75), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 6.700, P<0.05). The disappearance time of symptoms of nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal distension, and abdominal pain in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group: (2.58 ± 0.45) d vs. (3.22 ± 0.68) d, (3.56 ± 0.62) d vs. (4.10 ± 0.70) d, (2.54 ± 0.46) d vs. (3.24 ± 0.69) d, (2.66 ± 0.56) d vs. (3.40 ± 0.67) d, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The levels of ACF, ACA and MI in the observation group after the treatment were higher than those in the control group: (4.32 ± 0.90) times/min vs. (3.58 ± 0.83) times/min, (0.34 ± 0.12) vs. (0.30 ± 0.10) mm, (1.33 ± 0.42) vs. (1.14 ± 0.30), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The levels of 5-HT and NO in the observation group after the treatment were lower than those in the control group: (164.77 ± 30.34) mg/L vs. (184.45 ± 28.90) mg/L, (38.27 ± 10.20) mmol/L vs. (46.54 ± 9.48) mmol/L; and the levels of GAS and MTL were higher than those in the control group: (115.23 ± 15.70) ng/L vs. (98.50 ± 14.29) ng/L, (266.67 ± 32.76) ng/L vs. (238.40 ± 28.97) ng/L, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The treatment of pediatric FD with bifidobacterium tetravaccine tablets combined with low-dose erythromycin can significantly improve the efficacy, quickly improve the clinical symptoms of children, promote physical recovery, and regulate MTL levels to improve gastric motility. The recurrence rate is low.

Objective To evaluate the risk factors for surgical site infection(SSI)following ankle joint and Pilon fracture surgery,and provide theoretical basis for the prevention of postoperative SSI.Methods Clinical data of pa-tients who underwent ankle joint and Pilon fracture surgery in a hospital between June 2005 to May 2013 were sur-veyed retrospectively,risk factors for SSI were analyzed.Results Among 356 patients with ankle joint and Pilon fracture surgery,22 developed 25 times of SSI,SSI rate was 6.18%,case infection rate was 7.02%.Univariate analysis showed that elderly patients (> 60 years old),history of diabetes,pre-operative calcaneal traction, perioperative irrational antimicrobial use,incision type,and long duration of operation (>3 h)were risk factors for SSI following ankle joint and Pilon fracture surgery (all P <0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors for SSI were incision type(OR,3.58[95%CI ,3.24-12.07]),history of diabetes (OR,2.75[95%CI ,1 .54-4.75]),duration of operation(OR,2.15[95%CI ,1 .32-3.64]),and patients age(OR, 1 .68[95%CI ,1 .25-2.37]).Conclusion Occurrence of SSI following ankle joint and Pilon fracture surgery is related to multiple factors,corresponding prevention and control measures should be taken to reduce the occurrence of SSI.

Objective:To investigate the expression and role of costimulatory molecule CD137 on CD4+T cell in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE).Methods:The expression of CD137 on T lymphocyte from 30 SLE patients and 20 healthy controls were detected by flow cytometry.Results:The expression of CD137 on CD4+T lymphocytes from patients with active SLE were significantly higher than that of patients with inactive SLE and normal control(21.56?4.08 vs 3.01?0.09,1.24?0.12,P

Objective To analyze the difference among antigens of Angiostrongylus cantonensis in different developmental stages and identify dominant diagnostic antigen for angiostrongyliasis. Methods Antigens of A.cantonensis in different developmental stages were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and immunoblot. Results The protein bands of all developmental stages were similar on SDS-PAGE. The Mr 40 000 , 50 000 , 66 000 and 80 000 antigens reacted not only with the sera of rats infected by A.cantonensis but also with the sera of normal rats. The Mr 104 000 antigen could be discerned by sera of rats infected with A.cantonensis for 2 weeks. The Mr 32 000 antigen could be recognized by sera of rats 2 weeks after infection, and the reaction became stronger with the infection continued. Conclusion The Mr 40 000 , 50 000 , 66 000 and 80 000 antigens might result in the unspecific reaction in the immunodiagnosis of angiostrongyliasis using the crude antigen of A.cantonensis. The Mr 104 000 of larva, Mr 33 000 of adult females and Mr 32 000 of the worms might be used as candidate antigens in early diagnosis and epidemiological survey of angiostrongyliasis.

Objective To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Danshen Chuanxiongqin Injection (DCI) in the treatment of angina pectoris. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) regarding DCI in the treatment of angina pectoris were searched in CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Database, CBM, PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library by Feb. 2014. Two researchers independently retrieved the RCTs and extracted the information. The Cochrane risk of bias method was used to assess the quality of the included studies, and a meta-analysis was conducted with Review Manager 5.2 software. Results A total of 12 RCTs with 1145 participants were included. The meta-analysis indicated that the combined use of DCI and conventional treatment with western medicine was more effective in the outcomes of the total clinical effective rate [RR=1.27, 95%CI (1.19,1.35), P<0.000 01], the total effective rate of ECG [RR=1.34, 95%CI (1.23,1.46), P<0.000 01], and decrease of plasma viscosity [MD=-0.15, 95%CI (-0.25,-0.05), P=0.004] and fibrinogen [MD=-0.96, 95%CI (-1.14,-0.78), P<0.000 01]. And there were no adverse drug reaction reports. Conclusion Based on this systematic evaluation, DCI combined with conventional therapy is effective and relatively safe in treating angina pectoris, but it still needs larger samples, multi-center, and high quality RCT to verify.

Objective To systematically assess the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture and moxibustion for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Methods Articles were searched from databases, i.e., CNKI, VIP, WanFang Data, CBM, Embase, and PubMed. Articles about RCT on acupuncture and moxibustion for rheumatoid arthritis and traditional medicine therapy were under meta-analysis. Results Totally 24 articles involving 2006 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis indicated that the overall effective rate of treatment in the group receiving acupuncture and moxibustion was higher than that in the drug group, with statistical significance [OR=2.73, 95%CI (2.18, 3.41), Z=8.78, P<0.000 01]. Sub-group analysis showed that:acupuncture and moxibustion showed statistical significance in decreasing serum RF levels compared with drug therapy [MD=-2.92, 95%CI (-5.60, -0.25), P<0.05]. Acupuncture and moxibustion showed statistical significance in decreasing serum ESR levels compared with drug therapy [MD=-2.99, 95%CI (-4.78, -1.21), P<0.05]. Acupuncture and moxibustion showed statistical significance in decreasing serum CPR levels compared with drug therapy [MD=-1.44, 95%CI (-2.44, -0.44), P <0.05]. Conclusion The overall effective rates of acupuncture and moxibustion for rheumatoid arthritis and the decreasing levels of RF, ESR, CRP are superior to drug therapy, but it still needs larger samples, multi-center, and high quality RCT to verify.
