Objective To evaluate the effects of pegylated interferon plus ribavirin on naive and retreated chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients.Methods A total of 67 CHC patients were divided into naive group (n =35) and retreat group (n =32) based on their treatment history.And their virological responses [rapid virological response (RVR),early virological response (EVR),virological response to etravirine (ETR) and sustained virological response (SVR)] and risk factors were analyzed.Results ①RVR and EVR of naive group were 60％ (n =21) and 77％ (n =27),respectively,and the retreat group were 28％ (n =9),53％ (n =17).The differences between the two groups were significant (both P ＜ 0.05).On the contrary,CHC patients in both groups might achieve similar ETR and SVR rates (P ＞ 0.05) ; ② The relapse rate in the retreat group was higher than that in the naive group (22％ vs.10％).But the differences had no statistical significance (P ＞ 0.05) ; ③ CHC patients in the retreat group could achieve similar responses,including RVR,EVR,ETR and SVR (P ＞ 0.05) whether treated previously with standard interferon or pegylated interferon; ④ According to muhivariable logistic regression analysis,the retreated genotype 1 CHC patients has a lower SVR rate compared with naive genotype non-1 counterparts (OR =0.29 and 0.26,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions CHC patients in the naive group could achieve higher virological responses and a lower relapse rate compared to those in the retreat group.The previous treatment regimeu has no significant effect on virological responses of CHC patients retreated with Peg-IFN plus ribavirin.Genotype 1 and retreatment are both risk factors of achieving SVR.

Tumor cells can metabolize glucose through glycolysis to intermediates for biomacromolecule synthesis by inhibiting the activity of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) in mitochondria. In this process, pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases (PDKs) play a key role. The inhibition of the activity of PDKs can effectively block this metabolic pathway, activate mitochondrial oxidative metabolism, and induce tumor cell apoptosis. PDK inhibitors have become a research hotspot in medicinal chemistry, and novel structures targeting classical binding sites have been synthesized. In this paper, recent research progress on PDK inhibitors is reviewed to provide information on these latest entities and to explore their clinical applicability.

Objective To investigate the value of human epididymis secretory protein 4 ( HE4 ) combined with CA125 assay in differential diagnosis of endometriosis cyst and ovarian malignant tumor.Methods The level of HE4 and CA125 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in the serum specimens of 46 cases in endometriosis cyst group,36 cases in malignant ovarian tumor group,60 cases in benign ovarian diseases and 50 women in healthy women group.Those results were shown with median level.The normal range were 0-150 pmol/L in HE4 and 0-35 kU/L,which either one was more than the threshold value defined as positive index.The sensitivity of assay was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve,the relation and value of HE4 or CA125 alone and combination assay in diagnosis of endometriosis was analyzed by Mann-Whitney U test and correlation analysis.Results (1) HE4:the median levels of HE4 were 52.4,51.0,50.0 pmol/L in group of endometriosis,normal control and benign ovarian tumor,which didn't show statistical difference.However,HE4 was 507.5 pmol/L inovarian cancer group,which was significantly higher than those of 3 groups (P < 0.05 ).(2 ) CA125:there were significant different in median level of CA125 was observed as 743.0 kU/L in ovarian cancer,84.9 kU/L in endoemtriosis,15.4 kU/L in benign ovarian disease,and 11.5 kU/L in healthy women (P < 0.05).( 3 ) The single assay:when compared with that in endometriosis group,receiver operating characteristic area under the curve( ROC-AUC) were 0.933 in HE4 alone and 0.821 in CA125 alone assay in ovarian cancer group.The specificity was 95% and the sensitivity was 79.6% and 49.0%.(4) The combination assay:when compared with those in endometriosis group,the ROC-AUC was 0.936,the specificity was 95% and the sensitivity was 81.0% in ovarian cancer.Conclusions Measurement of HE4 could be used in differential diagnosis of endometriosis cyst.And the combination of HE4 and CA125 assay could discriminate ovarian endometriosis cysts from ovarian malignant tumors effectively.

OBJECTIVETo assess the clinical effectiveness of volar and radial column approach by plate fixation for the treat- ment of unstable fracture of distal radius.

METHODSAccording to Cochrane Systematic Review, Medline, Embase, Cochrane Li- brary, CNKI and CBM, randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of volar and radial column approach by plate fixation for the treat- ment of unstable fracture of distal radius were searched for from 1966 to 2014. Data analysis was performed with the Cochrane Collaboration's RevMan 5.0 software.

RESULTSTotally 391 patients of 6 RCTs and 2 retrospective cohort studys were included and divided into volar plate group (187 cases) and radial column plate group (204 cases). Meta-analysis result showed: compared with radial column plate group, volar plate group had significant difference in recovery of wrist function [SMD = 0.74, 95% CI (0.47, 1.01), P < 0.00001], Gartland-Werley scores [SMD = -1.39, 95% CI (-2.24, -0.53), P = 0.001], postoperative neural in- jury [OR = 3.67, 95% CI (1.37, 9.84), P = 0.01 1 and postoperative wrist pain [OR = 0.32, 95% CI (0.13, 0.74), P = 0.008]. But no significant difference was identified in DASH scores [SMD = -0.36, 95% CI (-0.97, 0.26), P = 0.25], radiographic result assess- ment [SMD = -0.18, 95% CI (-0.53, 0.16), P = 0.3], postoperative grip strength [SMD = 0.71, 95% CI (-0.12, 1.54),P = 0.09], postoperative tendinous damage [OR = 0.31, 95% CI (0.10, 0.98), P = 0.05] and carpal tunnel syndrome [OR = 0.96, 95% CI (0.63, 1.48), P = 0.87].

CONCLUSIONCompared with radial column plate internal fixation, volar approach plate fixation for treat- ment of distal radius intra-articular fracture has advantage of recovery of joint functionand. However, the volar approach plate fix- ation was associated with a higher risk of long-term complications than the radial column approach plate fixation.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the applicability of glomerular filtration rate estimation equations in elderly Chinese patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD). MethodsA total of 103 elderly CKD patients were investigated. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was estimated by Coekcroft -Gault equation, MDRD1 equation, abbreviated MDRD equation, Jellife 1973 equation, Mawer equation, Hull equation, Jellife 1971 equation, plasma creatinine reciprocal equation, Gate equation and Bjornsson equation. The accuracy of estimated GFRs was compared with that of GFR estimated by 99mTe-DTPA-GFR (sGFR)in elderly CKD patients. ResultsBland-Altman analysis demonstrated that GFRs evaluated by Cockcroft -Gault equation, Bjornsson equation and Hull equation were more consistent with sGFR than the other equations. But all the equations were not well consistent with sGFR. Linear regression showed that the slopes of Jellife 1973 equation and Cockcroft-Gault equation were closer to the identical line. Bias of MDRD1 equation was smaller. Accuracy of Bjornsson equation, Jellife 1973 equation and Cockcroft-Gault equation were higher than the other equations. When comparing the bias as well as accuracy of estimated GFRs with sGFR in different stages of CKD, GFR estimated by Bjornsson equation, Coekcroft-Gault equation and Jellife1973 equation showed better Results . ConclusionsWhen plasma creatinine is checked by enzymatic method, GFR estimating equations may show great bias in elderly Chinese CKD patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the variations and distributions of the plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes in clinical isolates of Shigella and their resistance to antimicrobial agents. Methodsqnr, aac(6')-Ib-cr and qepA genes were identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 137 clinical isolates of Shigella.DNA sequencing of gene-positive strains were analyzed and the conjugation experiment was performed. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of Shigella isolates, recipient strains and transconjugants were tested by agar dilution method for quinolones and other antimicrobial agents. The genotype of transconjugants were determined by PCR and sequencing. ResultsFour (2.9％) strains of the 137 Shigella isolates were qnr gene positive, including 3 qnrS2 positive and 1 qnrB4 positive (GenBank accession numbers of the complete sequence were JF261185 and HQ917003, respectively).Furthermore,five (3.6％) aac ( 6')-Ib-cr gene-positive strains (GenBank accession number JF261186 ) and one (0.7％) qepA gene-positive strain were identified in all isolates. The conjugation experiments were successfully carried out in six out of ten PCR-positive isolates. The MIC of transconjugants against quinolones and other antimicrobial agents increased differently compared to recipient strains. Conclusions The plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes are lowly prevalent in clinical isolates of Shigella. However, these resistance genes have the characteristic of horizontal transfer, which indicates that more attention should be paid to this phenomenon.
