OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlations on hepatitis B virus(HBV)preS1-antigen(preS1-Ag)and HBV-DNA,HBV markers in patients with hepatitis B.METHODS The markers,preS1-Ag and HBV-DNA were determined by ELISA and PCR in 406 patients with hepatitis B and 80 healthy persons.RESULTS The positive rates of preS1-Ag in 160 patients with HBsAg(+)and HBeAg(+)were 84.4%.The positive rates of preS1-Ag in 246 patients with HBsAg(+)and HBeAg(-)were 42.3%;the difference between them was significant(?2=70.9,P

Objective To explore the effects of piperine on cell proliferation and migration in angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ)-treated rat airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs).Methods The primary ASMCs of rats were cultured by improved tissue-piece digestion inoculation and trypsin digestion.MTT assay was used to detect the effects of Ang Ⅱ and Ang Ⅱ receptor antagonist losartan on cell proliferation activity.After treatment with Ang Ⅱ and piperine, the cell proliferation activity, the cell cycle distribution and the cell migration were detected by MTT, flow cytometry and Transwell assay respectively.ERK1/2 inhibitor PD98059 and losartan were then applied to determine the expression of cyclin D1, MMP-9, p-ERK1/2, ERK1/2, and β-actin proteins by Western blot assay.Results After 24 h culture, Ang Ⅱ treatment promoted the cell proliferative activity in rat ASMCs (P<0.05), and the promotive effect of 10-7 mol/L Ang Ⅱ was the most significant.Additionally, losartan blocked the Ang Ⅱ-induced cell proliferative activity in rat ASMCs (P<0.05).10-7 mol/L Ang Ⅱ treatment resulted in the elevated cell proliferative activity, higher S phase fraction, increased migrated cell number, and enhanced expression of cyclin D1, MMP-9and p-ERK1/2 proteins (P<0.05);these effects were dose-dependently reversed by piperine.Both PD98059 and losartan blocked Ang Ⅱ-induced expression of p-ERK1/2, cyclin D1 and MMP-9 proteins in rat ASMCs.Conclusions Piperine may inhibit Ang Ⅱ-induced cell proliferation and cell migration via ERK1/2 signaling pathway in rat ASMCs.

Objective To investigate the adsorptive capacity of cross-linked agar entrapping attapulgite clay (CAA) capsule, a novel adsorbent for hemoperfusion. Methods We selected some drugs such as phenothiazines, methylene blue, and diazepam as the model components to test the adsorptive capacity of CAA in human blood in vitro by means of static stirred absorption experiment and repeated hemoperfusion. Results CAA was of strong adsorption for phenothiazines and methylene blue but of little effect on diazepam. The corresponding adsorptive mechanisms were also discussed here. Conclusion CAA could be used as a highly effective adsorbent for the cation drugs in human blood.

Objective To compare the effect of water-infusion colonoscopy and conventional air-infusion colonoscopy on the bowel cleanliness during withdrawing.Methods A single blind randomized controlled trial was conducted. 222 patients were randomly divided into water-infusion group (group A, 112 cases) and air-infusion group (group B, 110 cases). The cleanliness scores, scores improvement, pain scores, time of reaching cecum, depth of colonoscopy, rate of whole colon examination, adenoma detection rate (ADR), operator’s dififculty and complications were compared between the two groups.Results The cleanliness score during withdrawing was higher in group A [M(8)/IQR(1) vs M(8)/IQR(2),P = 0.000], the improvement was higher in group A [(0.53 ± 0.74) vs (0.23 ± 0.55), P = 0.000], the abdominal pain score was signiifcantly lower in group A [M(2)/IQR(1) vs M(4)/IQR(2),P = 0.000] and the ADR was higher in group A (36.61 % vs 23.64 %,P = 0.041). The operator’s dififculty evaluation score was signiifcantly lower in group A [M(1)/IQR(1) vs M(2)/IQR(1),P = 0.005]. There were no signiifcant differences at the time of reaching cecum, the depth of colonoscopy and the whole colon examination rate between the two groups.Conclusion Water-infusion colonoscopy could signiifcantly improve the bowel cleanliness during withdrawing scope, improve the ADR and reduce abdominal pain of patients, without increasing the time to reach cecum.

Objective To determine whether the supplementation of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in parenteral nutrition (PN) confers treatment benefits to outcomes of septic patients.Methods The databases of MEDLINE,EMBASE,Cochrane central register of controlled trials,the CNKI and the Wanfang biomedicine were searched to identify prospective randomized controlled trials (RCTs) which compared the ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids supplemented with the standard PN on outcomes of adult patients with sepsis from January 1996 to June 2013.The methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated,and the Cochrane Collaboration RevMan 5.0 was used for data analysis.Results A total of 12 studies enrolling 721 patients were included.Significant reduction in 28-day mortality [relative risk (RR) 0.77,95％ confidence interval (95％CI) 0.59 to 0.99,P=0.04],short intensive care unit [ICU,weighted mean difference (WMD)=-3.10,95％CI-5.98 to-0.21,P=0.04] and hospital length of stay (WMD =-3.12,95％CI-4.65 to-1.60,P＜0.000 1) were observed in patients receiving ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids supplemented PN.There was no differences in days of mechanical ventilation between patients with or without adding ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in PN (WMD =1.33,95％ CI-5.09 to 7.75,P=0.69).Conclusions Meta-analysis results demonstrated that PN supplemented with ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids was beneficial in improving the outcomes of patients with sepsis.However,this conclusion must be interpreted with caution due to the low quality of the enrolled trials.
