1.Pulmonary involvement in Crohn disease: a case report and review of the literature
Clinical Medicine of China 2011;27(8):822-826
Objective To describe the characteristics of pulmonary involvement in Crohn was described and relevant literature were reviewed. Results The patient showed chief complaints of cough,expectoration and fever. The chest CT scan revealed bilateral lung opacity shadows ,Ziehl-Neelsen acid-fast stain examination in sputum and cultures got negative results for many times. Chest CT scan revealed no dissipation after different antimicrobials treatment for 2 months. The fiberoptic bronchoscopy was performed, which showed nodular lesions in the trachea and beside the opening of right upper lobe. Histopathology showed polypoid hyperplasia of granulation tissue. The bilateral patchy opacity dissipated, the nodes in the trachea disappeared and the nodes beside the opening of right upper lobe diminished obviously after the patient was treated with oral prednisone and salicylazosulfapyridine (SASP). Pulmonary involvement in Crohn disease is very rare and it can involve any part of the lungs. The most common manifestations are cough, expectoration and fever. The lung and gastrointestinal system often share similar pathogenetic changes: granulomatous inflammation. These patients responded well to combination use of glucocorticoid and SASP. Conclusion Pulmonary involvement should be considered when patients with Crohn disease manifested with respiratory symptoms, which can be definitely diagnosed by clinical features and histopathological examintation.

Objective To evaluate the effect of gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD)on exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods All of 74 patients with COPD accomplishing the reflux diagnostic questionnaire(RDQ)were.divided into GERD group(n=38)and non-GERD group(n=36)according the scores of RDQ.The clinical data including the frequency of exacerbations of COPD were compared between the two groups.Results The frequency of exacerbations of COPD was significantly higher in GERD group compared with that in non-GERD group[(2.68±0.77)times/year vs (1.38±0.49)times/year,t=8.74,P<0.05].The mean FEV;percentage was similar in the two groups [(39.82 4-10.95)%vs(37.11±12.24)%,t=1.00,P>0.05].The score of RDQ was probably as a factor of predicting the frequency of exacerbations of COPD(R2a=o.39,t=6.98,P<0.05).Conclusion The presence of GERD appears to be associated with increased exacerbations of COPD.

Objective To investigate the effects of acupuncture at points Baihui (GV20), Yintang (Ex-HN3) and Sishencong (Ex-HN1) on spatial learning and memory abilities and hippocampal expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in a rat model of post-stroke depression (PSD). Method Thirty male adult SD rats were allocated, using a random number table, tocontrol, acupuncture and sham operation groups, 10 rats each. A rat model of PSD was made by classical middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) using an intraluminal thread technique, chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) and solitary feeding. At the fourteenth day after the beginning of stress, the acupuncture group received acupuncture intervention for 14 consecutive days. At one week after the end of stress, the Morris water maze test was conducted to assess rat spatial learning and memory abilities. After the completion of the water maze test, hippocampal CA3 regional BDNF expression was determined by immunohistochemical method. Result Rat learning and memory abilities decreased significantly in the control group compared with the sham operation group (P<0.05). Space exploration time and the number of crossing platform reflecting memory abilities decreased significantly in the control group (22.36±6.20 s and 3.72±0.90 times, respectively) compared with the sham operation group (48.73±5.40 s and 8.60±1.10 times, respectively); there were statistically significant differences (P<0.01). Learning abilities, space exploration time, the number of crossing platform and BDNF expression increased significantly in PSD rats treated with acupuncture compared with the control group; there were statistically significant differences (P<0.01). Conclusion Acupuncture can improve spatial learning and memory abilities and raise hippocampal regional BDNF levels in rats with post-stroke depression.

Objective To analyze the effects of puerperium pelvic floor muscle training on pelvic floor muscle strength and its clinical significance. Methods One hundred postpartum women were included, with full-term singleton pregnancies and with complete follow-up records from Obstetrics Department of Peking University First Hospital between March 1, 2013 and October 31, 2013. Women with vaginal birth and cesarean birth commenced pelvic floor muscle training twice a day from 24 and 72 h after delivery, respectively. According to the different training frequencies, the subjects were divided into three groups: never-training group, occasional-training group (<6 times per week) and regular-training group (≥6 times per week). All patients received pelvic floor muscle strength measurement 6-8 weeks after parturition. And the strength of type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ pelvic floor muscle fiber was divided into 0, Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ and Ⅴgrade. The abnormal strength of typeⅠand typeⅡpelvic floor muscle fiber standed for the grades lower thanⅢ. We compared the general conditions, delivery modes and abnormal ratio of type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ pelvic floor muscle fiber among the three groups, analyzed the relativity between the level of pelvic floor muscle fiber strength and pelvic floor muscle training frequency, and analyzed the influential factors of pelvic floor muscle fiber strength. Statistical analyses were performed by one-way ANOVA, rank-sum test, Pearson χ2 test, Kruskal-Wallis nonparametric test, Nemenyi test, Spearman rank correlation analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Results There was no statistical difference in age, gestation at delivery, parity, body mass index before delivery, neonatal birth weight and delivery mode among the never-training group (21 cases), occasional-training group (30 cases) and regular-training group (49 cases) (all P > 0.05). There was no statistical difference in labor time of first, second and total stage and episiotomy rate among the vaginal birth cases of the three groups. The abnormal ratio of type Ⅰ muscle fiber strength among the three groups was 100% (21/21), 77% (23/30) and 6% (3/49), respectively, while that of type Ⅱ muscle fiber strength was 100% (21/21), 53% (16/30) and 20% (10/49), respectively. And there were significant statistical differences among the three groups (F=119.16 and 77.84, both P<0.01). Spearman rank correlation analysis indicated that the level of typeⅠand typeⅡmuscle fiber strength had a significant positive correlation with pelvic floor muscle training frequency (r=0.88 and 0.79, both P<0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that pelvic floor muscle training was an influential factor for pelvic floor muscle strength level (95%CI:0.000-0.193, P<0.01). Conclusions Puerperium pelvic floor muscle training can help enhance the tension force of pelvic floor muscle, might benefiting the postpartum recovery of pelvic floor muscle function.
