Objective To analyze, the risk factors and related psychological factors in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)and survey the curative effect. Methods All of 200 outpatients with GERD(GERD group) and 200 healthy persons (control group)from January 2006 to January 2008 were randomly selected, and the personal data were investigated. The GERD questionnaire (RDQ) and the Zung-self-rating depression scale (SDS) test were used. Results In GERD group, the proportions of high education, city living, marriage instability ,heavy working pressure, high body mass index (BMI),smoking and drinking habit, peptic disease in family, using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) were higher than those in control group (Pall < 0.01). After treatment, the patients in GERD group had lower scores in the RDQ and SDS test than those before treatment (P< 0.01). Conclusions There are many risk factors in patients with GERD, especially the psychological factors. The therapy of GERD should combine with psy-chotherapy and avoid high BMI, smoking, drinking and overusing the NSAID.

Objective To investigate the changes of serum and urinary adiponectin (ADPN) levels and insulin resis-tance (IR) states in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and to explore their relationship thereof. Methods A total of 487 patients with CKD stages 2-5 were enrolled in this study, and 30 healthy subjects were served as control group. The se-rum ADPN levels in urine samples were examined by ELISA. The level of fasting insulin (FINS) was detected by radioimmu-noassay. Blood routine test, liver and kidney functions, blood glucose, serum lipids, 24 h urinary protein excretion and endoge-nous creatinine clearance rate (Ccr) and body mass index (BMI) were observed and calculated. The differences of ADPN lev-els in serum and urine samples and homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (Homa-IR) were compared between groups. Results The serum and urine ADPN levels and Homa-IR were higher in CKD patients than those of controls (P<0.05). With the decline in renal function, the ADPN and Homa-IR levels were increased gradually (P<0.05). The value of se-rum ADPN was significantly higher in patients with CKD stages 3-5 and high Homa-IR. The ADPN levels and Homa-IR were positively related to lipid parameters and 24 h urinary protein, and negatively correlated with hemoglobin and serum al-bumin in patients with CKD (P < 0.05). Conclusion CKD patients had higher ADPN level and more significant IR. The ADPN and IR were correlated with serum lipids, hemoglobin, albumin and urinary protein. Dynamic monitor of ADPN level may have clinical significance in judging metabolic disorders in CKD patients.

Objective To Investigate the psychological health status of the patients with functional dyspepsia (FD).Methods A total of 80 patients with FD were chosen at random from Ji-Shui-Tan Hospital GI department and 80 normal control were selected from January,2006 to January,2007.MMPI was used as assessment tool.Results Patients with FD have higher scores in hypochondriasis,depression,hysterism,psychasthenia and paranoia than normal control group (P

Objective To study the effects of simvastatin on proliferation and apoptosis in rat mesangial cells in vitro, and to investigate the signal pathways involved in apoptosis induced by simvastatin. Methods Cultured mesangial cells were treated with simvastatin. Proliferation of mesangial cells was examined by MTT assay. Simvastatin-treated apoptotic mesangial cells were observed by electron microscopy. Propidium iodide (PI) staining and flow cytometry were employed for quantitative measurement of apoptosis. Caspase-3 activation was determined by CaspGLOW Green Caspase-3 Staining Kit. Results (1)Simvastatin significantly inhibited proliferation of mesangial cells compared with control (P

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect and safety of extracorporeal shock wave (ESW) in the treatment of pain symptom of type III B prostatitis.
METHODSWe treated 50 cases of type III B prostatitis by ESW once a week for 4 weeks. Then we evaluated the clinical effect and safety of the therapy based on the NIH-CPSI scores, visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, IIEF-5 scores, prostate volume and morphous, state of urination, color of urine, results of routine semen analysis, and changes of cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β) in expressed prostatic secretion (EPS).
RESULTSAll the patients successfully accomplished the treatment. Compared with the baseline, decreases were observed after 4 weeks of cytokine treatment in the pain scores (14. 61 ± 1. 82 vs 9. 36 ± 1. 47, P <0. 01), urination symptom scores (4. 59 ± 1. 01 vs.4. 66 ± 0. 89, P >0. 05) , quality of life scores (6. 51 ± 1. 03 vs 4. 56 ± 1. 02, P <0. 01), NIH-CPSI (25. 43 ± 1. 72 vs 18. 28 ± 2. 32, P <0. 01 ), and VAS (6. 59 ± 1. 10 vs 3. 02 ± 1. 07, P < 0. 01). The concentration of IL-6 in the EPS was significantly increased ([55.82 ± 6. 28] vs [86.59 ± 4. 55] ng/ml, P <0. 01) , while the level of TNF-α ([3.89 ± 0. 12] vs [3. 19 ± 0.22] ng/ml, P<0.01) and that of IL-1β ([3.21 ± 1.01] vs [1.48 ± 0.95] ng/ml, P< 0. 01) remarkably reduced after treatment. However, there were no statistically significant differences in IIEF-5 scores (18. 58 ± 2. 03 vs 18. 51 1. 89, P >0. 05) or various sperm parameters before and after treatment (P >0. 05). And no significant changes were observed in the prostate volume, morphous or internal echoes.
CONCLUSIONThe ESW therapy is effective and safe for the pain symptom of type III B prostatitis.
