Objective To evaluate the efficacy of lamivudine and adefovir in the treatment of patients with decompensated hepatitis B cirrhosis . Methods 90 cases of patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis of the liver decompensation period from August 2013 to June 2015 in our hospital were researched.According to the random number table method divided into observation group and control group , each of 45 cases, the total course of treatment was one year.The observation group was treated with lamivudine combined with adefovir dipivoxil , control group was treated with lamivudine.The clinical effect, the indexes of liver function, the changes of HBV-DNA and Child-pugh score were compared between the two groups after treatment.Results After treatment, the total effective rate of the observation group ( 93.33%) was obviously higher than that of control group (48.89%), the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), the observation group alanine amino acid, total bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase were (71.23 ±21.32)U/L, (28.32 ±4.65)Umol/lL, (4.65 ±9.25)U/L, they were significantly lower than control group (111.54 ±16.25)U/L, (46.53 ±4.89 ) Umol/L, ( 4.89 ±12.11 ) U/L, the observation group albumin ( 39.82 ±2.62 ) g/L was significantly higher than control group (35.55 ±2.22)g/L, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), after treatment, the observation group hepatitis b HBV DNA levels, Dhild pugh score (2.78 ±0.45)log10 copies/mL, (6.12 ±1.23) were significantly lower than the control group (3.89 ±0.65)log10 copies/mL, (7.89 ± 1.21)scores, the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05).Conclusion The combination of lamivudine and adefovir dipivoxil significantly decompensated hepatitis B cirrhosis has a curative effect, it could effectively improve the patient's liver function, Dhild-pugh score, HBV-DNA level.

Objective To assess the bone tunnel area at different times and sites of the tunnel after the anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) reconstruction in rabbits using Micro-CT.Methods Fifteen rabbits were performed ACL reconstruction using semitendinosus tendon autograft and randomly allocated into 3 groups and killed at 3,6,and 12 weeks after the operation.All samples undertook the micro-CT scanning(using SkyScan 1176,Bruker,U.S.A.) and were analyzed the areas of bone tunnels of femur and tibia after the 3-demension image rebuilding.For each tunnel,the area of the entrance,middle and exit of the tunnel were measured 3 times respectively and compared.Results The average area of the femoral tunnel did not change significantly with time,being 4.84 mm2,4.57 mm2 and 4.46 mm2 at 3,6 and 12 weeks after the operation(P=0.99).At the very beginning,the femoral tunnel area at the entrance was the biggest,while that of the middle was the smallest.Six weeks after the operation,significant differences were observed between the femoral tunnel area at the entrance and middle,as well as that between the exit and middle(P=0.0011,P=0.0106);However,12 weeks after the operation,significant differences were observed only between that at the entrance and middle(P=0.0227).The average tibial tunnel area increased significantly at 6 weeks(6.577 mm2) and decreased at 12 weeks(3.103 mm2) after the operation(P=0.0005).Moreover,no significant differences were observed in the average tibial tunnel area at different time points and sites(P<0.05).At different sites,the average tibial tunnel area expanded at 6 weeks,and then declined at 12 weeks after the operation.Conclusion The bone tunnel area changes with time after the ACL reconstruction,first increasing followed by decreasing in the average tibial tunnel area.The femur and tibial tunnel have significant differences in the tunnel area at different sites,which change differently with time.The bone tunnel expansion after the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction can be comprehensively measured repeatedly at different sites.

OBJECTIVE To study the improvement effects and mechan ism of thalidomide on Alzheimer ’s disease (AD)model of Caenorhabditis elegans . METHODS In this study ,the BR 5270 strain of C. elegans was used as AD model and BR 5271 strain as the control. The effects of thalidomide (0.5,2.0,6.0,15.0 mg/mL)on the motility of BR 5270 strains of C. elegans were studied by the basal slowing response assay ;the effects of thalidomide (0.5,2.0,6.0,15.0 mg/mL)on the survival time of BR 5270 strain of C. elegans were studied by life assay ;the effects of thalidomide (0.5,2.0,6.0 mg/mL)on learning and memory ability of BR 5270 strain of C. elegans were studied by short-term and long-term learning and memory assay. RT-PCR technology was used to study the effects of thalidomide (0.5,2.0,6.0 mg/mL)on mRNA expression of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)signal pathway related genes (Age-1,Akt-1,Gsk-3)and calpain homologous gene (Clp-1)in BR 5270 strain of C. elegans . RESULTS After the intervention of thalidomide ,oscillation times of BR 5270 strain of C. elegans increased significantly within 30 s (except for 0.5 mg/mL group ),and the 10% of maximum life span was prolonged significantly (only 0.5 mg/mL group );the short-term and long-term learning indexes were improved significantly (only 6.0 mg/mL group );mRNA expression of Age-1 and Akt-1(except for 0.5,2.0 mg/mL groups )were increased significantly ,mRNA expression of Gsk-3(except for 0.5 mg/mL group ) and Clp-1 were decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Thalidomide can ameliorate the dyskinesia of AD model of C. elegans,prolong the lifespan of this strain ,and enhance its learning and memory ability. Its mechanism of action may be related to activation of PI 3K/Akt signaling pathway and inhibition of calpain.
