Objective To evaluate the efficacy of tacalcitol ointment combined with desonide cream in the treatment of plaque vulgaris psoriasis. Methods Sixty-six patients with plaque vulgaris psoriasis were assigned into combination treatment group and desonide sole treatment group by random digits table with 33 cases each. In combination treatment group, desonide cream was applied 1 time per day in the morning and tacalcitol ointment was applied 1 time per day at night. In desonide sole treatment group, desonide cream was applied twice one day. The therapy for two groups continued for 8 weeks. Results The total effective rate in combination treatment group was 78.79%( 26/33 ), and it was lower than that in desonide sole treatment group [84.85%(28/33)],but there was no significant difference between two groups (P>0.05). The recurrence rate was 25.00% (7/28) in desonide sole treatment group and 11.54% (3/26) in combination treatmentgroup,there was no statistical difference between two groups (P >0.05). There was no serious side effect during observation. Conclusions Tacalcitol ointment combined with desonide cream has no more effective for plaque vulgaris psoriasis than that of desonide cream alone. The combined use of these two drugs could reduce the dosage of steroid and side effect.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) combined with multi-function electronic therapeutic device in the treatment of condyloma acuminatum.Methods Sixty cases with condyloma acuminatum were divided into two groups with 30 cases each according to the treatment method.The combination group was treated with ALA-PDT combined with multi-function electronic therapeutic device,and the control group was treated only with multi-function electronic therapeutic device.Once a week,treatment was not more than three weeks.The adverse reaction was observed.The efficacy was evaluated after 1 week's treatment.The recurrence rate was evaluated after 1,6 months' s treatment.Results The cure rate was 80.00％ (24/30) and 96.67％ (29/30) in combination group and control group,and there was no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).The recurrence rate was 8.33％ (2/24),12.50％(3/24) in combination group and 17.24％ (5/29),41.38％ (12/29) in control group after 1,6 months's treatment,and there was no significant difference after 1 month's treatment (x2 =0.298,P ＞ 0.05),but there was significant difference after 6 months' s treatment (x2 =4.030,P ＜ 0.05).There was no system adverse reaction,the adverse reaction was 16 cases in combination group and 44 cases in control group.Conclusion ALA-PDT combined with multi-function electronic therapeutic device in the treatment of condyloma acuminatum can improve the cure rate,decrease the recurrence rate and adverse reaction.

Objective To explore the changes of Th17 cells in the pathogenesis and aggravation of chronic hepatitis B (CHB).Methods Thirty-two CHB patients,44 hepatitis B virus (HBV)related acute-on-chronic liver [ailure (ACLF) patients and 20 healthy controls (HC) were involved in our research. The frequencies of circulating Th17 cells were detected by flow cyrometry. The interleukin 17 (IL-17) mRNA expressions in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR).Immunohistochemical staining was performed to determine the expressions of IL-17+ cells in the liver tissues.The serum IL-17 concentrations were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorhent assay (ELISA),and the dynamic changes in ACLF patients with different prognosis were also observed.Normal distribution data were used by analysis of variance and non-normal distribution data were used by Kruskal-Wallis H test or Mann-Whitney U test.Results In CHB,ACLF and healthy control groups,Th17 cells frequencies in PBMC were (1.47 ± 0.60) ％,(3.20 ± 1.08) ％ and (0.86 ± 0.43) ％,respectively ; IL-17 mRNA were 4.32±11.77,18.32±8.21 and 1.00,respectively; IL-17+ cells in the liver tissues were (10.6±4.8),(21.1±6.6) and (0.5±0.2)/high power field; the level of IL-17 in serum were (15.88±6.51),(35.03±11.54) and (10.04±4.06) ng/L,respectively (all P＜0.05).Moreover,the frequencies of circulating Th17 cells and the levels of serum IL-17 in medium-stage and end-stage ACLF patients were higher than that in early-stage ACLF patients (both P ＜ 0.01). In ACLF patients,the circulating Th17 cells frequencies were positively correlated with international normalized ratio (INR,r=0.44,P＜0.01) and model of end-stage liver disease (MELD) score (r=0.44,P＜0.01).And the frequencies of circulating Th17 cells were positively associated with the serum alanine transaminase (ALT) levels in CHB patients (r=0.51,P＜0.01).Moreover,the survival ACLF patients had an initially lower serum IL-17 level compared with the non-survivors,and the serum IL-17 level showed a gradually decreasing trend during the course of medical treatment.In contrast,the nonsurvival group exhibited a gradually increasing trend.Conclusions Th17 cell and its cytokine IL-17 may contribute to liver injury in the pathogenesis of CHB and promote the occurrence and the development of HBV-related ACLF. Moreover,the elevated levels of Th17 cells and IL-17 may indicate poor short-term prognosis in ACLF patients.

Objective To explore the correlation between the efficacy of lamivudine (LAM)therapy and changes of T lymphocyte subsets,CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T lymphocytes (Treg),and levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10)and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ)in the peripheral blood of patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).Methods Ninety CHB patients were enrolled in this study.T lymphocyte subsets in the peripheral blood were detected by flow cytometry at baseline and week 52 of LAM therapy.The frequencies of CD4+ CD25+ Treg in the peripheral blood were detected by flow cytometry and levels of IL-10 and IFN-γ were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)at baseline,week 12,24,36 and 52.The comparisons of overall means between groups and within groups were done by analysis of variance or Dunnett's test.The comparison of means before and after LAM therapy was done by paired t test.Results In 32 complete-responders of 90 CHB patients,the proportions of CD4+ T lymphocytes,CD8+ T lymphocytes and CD4+/CD8+ ratio were increased significantly after LAM therapy (t=4.055、3.267、2.328,all P＜0.05); the frequencies of CD4+CD25+ Treg at baseline,week 12,24,36 and 52 were (5.40±0.60)%,(4.99±0.59)%,(4.54± 0.72)%,(3.86±0.95)% and (3.44±0.76)%,respectively; the levels of IFN-γ,IFN-γ/IL-10 ratio were increased,while the IL-10 level was decreased after LAM therapy.In 43 partial-responders,the proportion of CD4+T lymphocytes and ratio of CD4+/CD8+ were increased after LAM therapy (t= 3.484,2.018,both P＜0.05); the proportion of CD8+ T lymphocytes was not changed significantly after therapy; the frequencies of CD4+ CD25+ Treg at baseline,week 12,24,36 and 52 were (5.65±0.60)%,(5.23±0.63)%,(4.65±0.98)%,(4.42±0.97)% and (4.32±0.82)%,respectively;IFN-γ level,IFN-γ/IL-10 ratio were increased,while IL-10 level was decreased.In 15 non-responders,the proportion of T lymphocyte subsets,the frequency of CD4+ CD25+ Treg,the levels of IFN-γ and IL-10 were not changed significantly after LAM treatment.Conclusions In CHB patients who have achieved response after LAM therapy,the frequency of CD4+ CD25+ Treg in the peripheral blood is decreased,while ratios of CD4+/CD8+ and IFN-γ/IL-10 in the peripheral blood are increased.

Objective To investigate the changes of Th1/Th2 cells and related cytokine levels in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) fibrosis.Methods Forty-six patients with CHB fibrosis underwent liver biopsy during March and October,2011.According to the stage of fibrosis,the patients were divided into S0-1 group (n =15),S2-3 group (n =20) and S4 group (n =11).Ten healthy subjects served as controls.The frequencies of circulating Th1,Th2 cells were detected by flow cytometry.The expressions of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and interleukin 4 (IL-4) mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were detected by real-time quantitative PCR.The serum IFN-γand IL-4 concentrations were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.Intrahepatic expressions of IFN-γ and IL-4 were detected by immunohistochemical staining.Differences between groups were analyzed using non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis H test,followed by Mann-Whitney U test for multiple comparisons.Logistic regression was used for multivariate analysis.Results With the degree of liver fibrosis exacerbations,the peripheral Th1/Th2 cells frequencies ratio,IFN-γ/IL-4 mRNA ratio in PBMCs,serum IFN-γ/IL-4 ratio and intrahepatic IFN-γ/IL-4 ratio were declined (x2 =36.259,40.822,26.321 and 31.852,respectively,all P ＜ 0.05).Serum and intrahepatic IFNγ/IL-4 ratio were negatively associated with the stage of liver fibrosis (r =-0.616 and-0.531,P ＜0.01).Logistic regression analysis showed that AST,PT and the serum IFNγ/IL-4 ratio were the risk factors for significant liver fibrosis (S2-4) (OR =5.933,95％ CI:1.324-26.586,P =0.02; OR =12.866,95％CI:1.746-94.788,P =0.01; OR=4.755,95％CI:1.034-21.862,P =0.04).Conclusions The CHB patients has imbalanced Th1/Th2 ratio.With the degree of liver fibrosis exacerbations,Th1/Th2 cytokines drift into Th2 lymphocyte sub-cluster,which suggests that Th1/Th2 imbalance may be involved in the pathogenesis of CHB fibrosis.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of turnover intention of pre-hospital emergency nurses in Beijing, and provide references for reducing the turnover rate of pre-hospital emergency nurses and stabilizing the pre-hospital emergency nursing team.Methods:Pre-hospital emergency nurses from 2 emergency centers in Beijing were selected as the survey objects, and a self-designed questionnaire was used to conduct an online survey in September 2019. The questionnaire covered such aspects as the main demographic characteristics, workload, doctor-patient relationship, professional identity, job burnout and turnover intention. Descriptive analysis was conducted for the data, while rank-sum test and Kappa consistency test were used for univariate analysis, and ordered logistic regression analysis was used for multivariate analysis.Results:A total of 340 valid questionnaires were received, among which 41.5% (141) of the nurses said that they occasionally considered quitting, 11.7% (40) said they often considered quitting, while the scoring of professional identity was (33.29±6.00), and that of job burnout was (63.70±14.90). Univariate analysis showed that age, work units, self-rated health status, professional identity, job burnout, seniority, workload, doctor-patient relationship, and pressure of title promotion were significant ( P<0.05). The results of multivariate analysis showed that job burnout, average number of car trips per shift, and self-rated health status were positively correlated with turnover intention, while professional identity was negatively correlated with turnover intention ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The turnover intention of pre-hospital emergency nurses in Beijing was found at a high level. The authorities are recommended to rationalize the scheduling system and increase the staffing of pre-hospital emergency nurses; establish the diversion policy, title promotion system and post risk special allowance for such nurses; and train medical aid workers to undertake the transfer and lifting of patients, so as to reduce the turnover intention of these nurses.

Objective To investigate the recurrence and risk factors of gastric high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia(HGIN)and early gastric cancer(EGC)after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Methods The clinical and follow-up data on 444 patients(451 lesion)with HGIN and EGC undergoing ESD in Digestive Endoscopy Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from November 2006 to January 2016 were summarized, and the risk factors of recurrence were analyzed. Results A total of 410 patients were followed-up, and the recurrence rate was 3.2%(13 patients, 13 lesions), with mean recurrence time of 17.6±9.6 months(6-38 months). Univariate and multivariate analysis revealed that the size of the lesion>4.0 cm was the only risk factor of recurrence(P=0.012,OR=10.855,95%CI:1.673~70.442). Conclusion The rate of recurrence is increasing with the EGC extending, therefore, postoperative monitoring should be strengthened to patients with larger lesion.

Objective:To investigate the detection rate and the characteristics of detected prostate cancer foci on multi-parametric MRI (mp-MRI) and to evaluate the potential influence factors.Methods:A total of 66 patients undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) from August 2017 to July 2019 in Beijing Hospital were retrospectively studied. The median age was 67(56-80)years, with the median preoperative PSA level of 8.73 (1.22-72.46)ng/ml, and median prostate volume of 35.9(16.8-131.8) ml. All patients underwent mp-MRI before surgery and the whole mount section of RP specimens was prepared. Two radiologists reviewed all the foci independently and then matched each foci with an urological pathologist. The primary outcome was the detection rate of prostate cancer. The potential influence factors were also investigated.Results:Of all 66 patients, a total of 62(93.9%) patients were diagnosed with prostate cancer on a preoperative mp-MRI. On whole mount section, 109 prostate cancer foci were detected, of which 77 foci were correctly diagnosed on mp-MRI, with the overall sensitivity of 70.6%. For all the foci detected, 53(48.6%) were grade group 1 disease of International Society of Urological pathology (ISUP), 31(27.5%) were ISUP grade group 2 disease, 19(17.4%) were ISUP grade group 3 disease, and 6(5.5%) were ≥ISUP grade group 4 disease. Mp-MRI detected 62/67(92.5%) lesions with tumor diameter ≥1 cm, 49/56(87.5%) lesions with tumor Gleason score ≥7, and 59/66(89.4%) index lesions. The tumor diameter( OR=3.183, 95% CI 1.580-6.411, P=0.001)and index lesion status( OR=4.042, 95% CI 1.127-14.503, P=0.032)were independently associated with the detection of prostate cancer foci on mp-MRI. Conclusions:mp-MRI is an effective technique for prostate cancer detection. Sensitivity increased with increased tumor size and index lesion status. The tumor diameter and index lesion status were independently associated with the detection of prostate cancer foci on mp-MRI.

The biological clock(also known as the circadian rhythm)is the fundamental reliance for all organisms on Earth to adapt and survive in the Earth's rotation environment.Circadian rhythm is the most basic regulatory mechanism of life activities,and plays a key role in maintaining normal physiological and biochemical homeostasis,disease occurrence and treatment.Recent studies have shown that the biologi-cal clock plays an important role in the development of oral tissues and in the occurrence and treatment of oral diseases.Since there is cur-rently no guiding literature on the research methods of biological clock in stomatology,researchers mainly conduct research based on pub-lished references,which has led to controversy about the research methods of biological clock in stomatology,and there are many confusions about how to rationally apply the research methods of circadia rhythms.In view of this,this expert consensus summarizes the characteristics of the biological clock and analyzes the shortcomings of the current biological clock research in stomatology,and organizes relevant experts to summarize and recommend 10 principles as a reference for the rational implementation of the biological clock in stomatology research.

OBJECTIVETo establish stoma and stoma-free murine models of heterotopic small intestine transplantation in order to choose a more effective and reliable model.

METHODSA total of 140 male 8-10 weeks age C57BL/6(B6) mice weighted 25-30 g were enrolled in the experiment. Syngeneic heterotopic small intestine transplantation was performed between C57BL/6 mice, and recipient mice were divided into either stoma or stoma-free group. Heterotopic small intestine transplantation was performed in 70 mice, with 35 mice in each group. After closing the proximal end of the graft by ligation, the distal end of graft was exteriorized as a stoma then secured to the skin of the abdominal wall in stoma group. In stoma-free group, the distal end of graft was anastomosed end-to-side to the recipient ileum. Successful rate of operation, two-week survival rate, operation time, associated complications, postoperative care time and body weight change were recorded and compared between two groups.

RESULTSThe successful rate of stoma group was 65.7%, while it was 80.0% of stoma-free group (χ(2)=1.806, P=0.179). The operation time of donor in stoma group was (48.1±6.6) minutes, while it was (47.2±5.9) minutes in stoma-free group (t=0.598, P=0.552). The operation time of recipient in stoma group was (77.9±9.1) minutes, while it was (76.4±8.3) minutes in stoma-free group (t=0.683, P=0.497). The cold ischemic time of graft in stoma group was (34.7±4.0) minutes, while it was (33.9±4.6) minutes in stoma-free group(t=0.667, P=0.507). The two-week survival rate of stoma group was 45.7%, and it was 77.1% of stoma-free group(χ(2)=7.295, P=0.007). The stoma group had more complications[54.3%(19/35) vs. 22.9%(8/35), χ(2)=7.295, P=0.007], which needed more postoperative care time(191 min vs. 35 min). The weight loss in stoma group in the third day after operation was more significant [(81.52±5.20)% vs. (85.46±4.65)%, t=2.856, P=0.006]. By 2 weeks after operation, the weight of mice in both groups retruned to 95% of the postoperative wight.

CONCLUSIONThe murine heteropotic small intestine transplantation model with stoma-free appears to be more reasonable and reliable.
