Objective To investigate the relationship between helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and reflux esophagitis (RE). Methods H.Pylori infection rates of RE in patients with simple chronic gastritis(CG),which was confirmed by gastrospcope combined with pathological diagnosis were researched.The relationship between HP infection and RE classifications using gastroscope and pathology was explored.Results ⑴H.pylori infection was found in 29(27.1%) in 107 cases of RE and 43(40.2%) in 107 cases of simple CG patients respectively,HP infection positive in RE patients less than that of simple CG patients.RE of class Ⅰ,Ⅱand Ⅲ using gastroscopy classification were 62.1%, 10.3% and 27.6% in H. Pylori-positive cases respectively, while they were 56.4%, 6.4% and 37.2% respectively in H. Pylori-negative ones. However, mild, moderate and severe RE identified by pathohistology were 72.4%, 13.8% and 13.8% in H.Pylori-positive cases respectively, and they were 57.7%, 17.9% and 24.4% respectively in H.Pylori-negative ones.Conclusions All above results suggested that H.Pylori possibly has prevention role in some extent to pathogenesis of RE. RE more commonly was seen in H.Pylori-negative cases.RE could inhibit the H.Pylori survive,So that,the RE was occurred frequently in H.Pylori-negative patients.The inflammatory extent of RE is not serious in H.Pylori-positive patients.

The conduction of performance appraisal in the hospital is of great significance to the perfection of the appraisal system and the improvement of the managerial efficiency of the hospital. The authors suggest that in the process of establishing an appraisal system of hospital performance, it is necessary to use for reference enterprises' experience in performance appraisal and the theories of performance management. Firstly, single-faceted pursuit of economic benefits should be avoided, the establishment of an external hospital appraisal system and the establishment of an internal hospital appraisal system should be combined, and attention should be paid to the overall application of performance appraisal in performance management. Secondly, in light of their own experience in hospital management, the authors put forward the suggestion of establishing a performance appraisal system of three levels: the hospital , the department and the post. They also argue that attention should be given to the selection of comprehensive appraisal methods, continuous communication about performance, and readjustment in a timely manner.

BACKGROUND:After acute myocardial infarction(AMI),there is still surviving myocardium in and around the infarcted area,which plays an important role in the occurrence of arrhythmia. OBJECTIVE:To study the alterations of the activities of Na+ channel current(INa),L-calcium current(ICa-L),transient outward K+ current(Ito) and inward rectifying K+ current(IK1) in the cardiomyocytes in the infarcted area after AMI. DESIGN: A randomized controlled study. SETTING:Department of Cardiology,Bethune International Peace Hospital. PARTICIPANTS:The experiment was finished in the Central Laboratory of the Department of Cardiology,Bethune International Peace Hospital from January to June 2003.Twenty New Zealand pure big-ear rabbits were randomly divided into AMI group(n=10) and control group(n=10). INTERVENTIONS:Rabbit AMI models were established by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery.The ventricular myocytes were separated with the method of enzymatic dissociation technique,and the changes of the ion currents were recorded with the whole cell patch-clamp techniques. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The changes of INa,ICa-L,Ito and IK1 in the cardiomyocytes taken from the infarcted area of epicardium 24 hours after AMI in both the AMI and control groups. RESULTS:Twenty-four hours after AMI,the peak current densities of INa,ICa-L and IK1 in the AMI group [(28.48± 3.53) pA/pF,n=16;(3.91± 0.95) pA/pF,n=12;(26.93 ± 3.48) pA/pF,n=16]were all significantly reduced as compared with those in the control group [(45.50± 5.33) pA/pF,n=12;(5.58± 1.53) pA/pF,n=10;(34.12± 4.21) pA/pF,n=10] (t=3.026,P< 0.01;t=2.985,P< 0.01;t=2.706,P< 0.05).There was no significant difference in the Ito density between the AMI group and control group (P >0.05). CONCLUSION:The reduce of INa,ICa-L and IK1 caused by AMI can result in the decrease of myocardial conduction velocity,the shortening of action potential-time,abnormal repolarization,which is possibly the ionic mechanism for the reentrant ventricular arrhythmia after AMI.

Objective to analyze the relation between glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and neonatal blood glucose.Methods HbA1c values of 743 pregnant women with GDM are detected,and according to HbA1c level,they were divided into 3 groups,such as G1 (HbA1c＜5.5％),G2 (5.5％≤HbA1c≤6.5％) and G3 (HbA1c＞6.5％).Newborn babies' blood glucose values of the women in each group are monitored respectively in the 1st hour and at the 4th and 8th hour.Neonatal hypoglycemia and incidence of threshold blood glucose in the three groups are compared by SPSS 17.0 software.Results (1) The incidence of neonatal hypoglycemia in G1 and G2 are both higher than thatin G3 in the 1st hour (P＜0.05).The incidence of neonatal hypoglycemia in G3 is higher than that in G1 and G2 at the 4th and 8th hour (P＜0.05).(2) With time extending,the incidence of neonatal hypoglycemia declines in G1 and G2 (P＜0.05),but there is no obvious decline in G3 (P＞0.05).(3)The incidence of threshold blood glucose in G3 and G2 are higher than that in G1 in the 1st hour,and at the 4th,8th hour(P＜0.05),and there is no obvious statistical difference between G2 and G3 (P＞0.05).(4)With time extending,the incidence of threshold blood glucose declines in G1 (P＜0.05),but it doesn't decline in G3 evidently(P＞0.05).And there was no obvious decline in G2 in the 4 hours after babies were born(P＞0.05).(5)A mother's HbA1c level has a negative correlation with her baby's blood glucose in 1 hour after birth(r=-0.401,P＜0.05).Conclusion The higher HbA1c level of pregnant women with GDM increases,the higher risks of their neonatal hypoglycemia and threshold blood glucose are.

AIM: To investigate the expression kinetics of PD-L1 and PD-L2 on the surface of the resting and activated B/T cells as well as monocytes from healthy human peripheral blood.METHODS: Fluorescent antibody staining together with flow cytometry were used to detect the percentages of the resting as well as the activated B cells and T cells that expressed PD-L1 and PD-L2.Meanwhile the percentages of the resting and activated monocytes that expressed PD-L2 were determined.RESULTS: Both resting B cells and T cells did not express PD-L1 on their surface,however PD-L1 expression was significantly up-regulated on the surface of the activated B cells after 6 h stimulation with LPS or pokeweed mitogen(PWM),and the percentages of B cells that expressed PD-L1 reached a plateau at 24 h,which were(46.26?10.71)% with LPS and(43.67?6.14)% with PWM stimulation,respectively.No markedly change of PD-L1 expression on the surface of the activated T cells after stimulation with LPS was observed,but upregulation of PD-L1 expression was observed when stimulation with PWM.The percentages of T cells that expressed PD-L1 reached a plateau at 24 h,which was(25.42?9.23)%.PD-L2 expression was not found on the resting as well as the activated B cells and T cells.In addition,the resting monocytes did not express PD-L2.Combination of INF-? plus LPS markedly induced the PD-L2 expression,and the percentages of monocytes that expressed PD-L2 reached a peak at 48 h,which was(28.70?14.22)%.CONCLUSION: The activated lymphocytes only express PD-L1,reaching a plateau at 24 h.PD-L2 is expressed on the surface of the activated monocytes,reaching a peak at 48 h.

Objective Saxagliptin regulates the level of blood glucose by selectively inhibiting high-performance dipeptidyl peptidase 4, but its action mechanism is not yet clear .This study was to investigate the effect of the novel hypoglycemic agent Saxaglip -tin on the expression of long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) and its target gene products transforming growth factor-β1 ( TGF-β1 ) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells ( HUVECs) stimulated by high glucose. Methods HUVECs were cultured in with D-glucose (D-GS) at the concentrations of 5.5, 10, 20, and 30 mmol/L and Saxagliptin at 0, 0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10μmol/L.The best concentrations of D-GS and Saxagliptin were determined as 30 mmol/L and 1 μmol/L, respectively.The HUVECs were divided into four groups:control (5.5 mmol/L D-GS), Saxagliptin (5.5 mmol/L D-GS+1 μmol/L Saxagliptin ) , high glucose ( 30 mmol/L D-GS ) , and high glucose +Saxagliptin (30 mmol/L D-GS +1μmol/L Saxaglip-tin), all cultured for 24 hours.Then the expressions of MALAT1 and TGF-β1 mRNA in the cells were detected by qRT-PCR, that of the TGF-β1 protein determined by Western blot , and the level of TGF-β1 in the supernatant measured by ELISA . Results The expressions of LncRNA-MALAT1 and TGF-β1 were significantly increased in the high glucose group as compared with the control ( 8.65 ±0.70 vs1.00 ±0.00 and 1.36 ±0.07 vs 1.00 ±0.00, P<0.01) but markedly inhibited in the high glucose +Saxagliptin group in compari-son with the high glucose group (2.17 ±0.24 vs 8.65 ±0.70 and 1.15 ±0.02 vs 1.36 ±0.07, P<0.05). Conclusion High glu-cose can induce the overexpression of LncRNA-MALAT1 and its target gene products TGF-β1 in HUVECs and cause damage to the cells, while Saxagliptin can significantly suppress this effect .

Objective To observe the changes of the depressive behavior and amygdaloid nucleus nerve growth factor(NGF)expression in estro?gen?deprived female rats and explore the possible mechanism and targets of estradiol in depression treatment. Methods A total of 30 adult SD fe?male rats were randomly assigned to 3 groups:sham operation group(SHAM,n=10);ovariectomized group(OVX,n=10)and ovariectomized rats treated with estradiol group(OVX+E,n=10). The behavior changes were observed by tail suspension test(TST)and sucrose preference test (SPT) after 8?week estradiol treatment. Subsequently ,immunohistochemical staining detect NGF expression in amygdaloid nucleus. Results Compared with the SHAM group rats,sucrose preference ratio significantly decreased in SPT(P<0.01),immobile time prolonged in TST(P<0.01),serum estradiol level and amygdaloid NGF expression significantly decreased(all P<0.01). 8?week estradiol treatment ameliorated depres?sion?like behavior and increased serum E2 level and NGF expression in amygdaloid nucleus in OVX+E group rats when compared with the OVX group(all P<0.01). Conclusion Estradiol treatment can improve the depressive behavior of ovariectomized rats ,which may be related to the in?crease of serum estradiol level and the expression of NGF in amygdaloid nucleus.
