International Journal of Pediatrics 2016;43(12):905-908,909
Helicobacter pylori is closely related to many digestive system diseases,such as chronic gas-tritis,digestive ulcer,gastric mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma and gastric cancer,also leads to chil-dren with iron deficiency anemia,growth retardation,asthma,allergic diseases etc. So it is a key strategy to pre-vent and treat these diseases by eradicating Helicobacter pylori. Due to the increasing rates of antimicrobial resist-ance of clarithromycin and metronidazole,the eradication rate of standard triple therapy is 1ess than 80%in re-cent years. Especially in areas of high clarithromycin resistance and standard triple therapy have not been recom-mended as first-line therapy,it is necessary to investigate a new therapeutic strategy to improve the eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori. The new treatments for eradication of Helicobacter pylori in children is mainly based on sequential therapy,bismuth-based therapy,concomitant therapy and probiotics treatment. This article reviews the research progress of the new treatments in recent years.

Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2019;17(2):99-104
Tuina is a physical therapy for treatment and prevention of diseases.The predecessors had summed up the systematic tuina manipulations through experiences.In order to study the scientificity and usability of the technology,the researchers established a mathematical model of tuina manipulations,and used video technology to capture the trajectory of the manipulations.Using the mechanical sensor to sense the real manipulations,researchers developed a tuina manipulation instrument and obtained a lot of basic mechanics data about the manipulation technology.Through the summary of the research results of the predecessors,accurate,true and comprehensive mechanical parameters of technology of tuina manipulations were obtained to guide the research and development of instruments of tuina manipulations,and promote the development of the discipline of tuina science.

Five hundred elderly patients with ischemic stroke admitted from January 2008 to December 2010 were enrolled in the study,including 352 recurrent cases and 148 primary cases.There was a positive correlation of stroke recurrence with age,blood pressure,blood glucose and lipid levels,smoking and alcohol consumption of patients(P <0.05 ); while the stroke recurrence was negatively correlated with physical exercise(P < 0.05).Stepwise multiple regression analysis indicated that the blood pressure,blood glucose and lipid levels were risk factors for the recurrence of ischemic stroke in elderly patients.

Objective To analyze quality of life (QOL) and its related factors in community middle-aged and aged people with osteoporosis (OP). Methods A total of 152 OP patients in one community in Shanghai were surveyed and their QOL was evaluated with a questionnaire integrated with the QUALEFFO-41 questionnaire. Factors were analyzed using a Kruskal-Wallis test and stepwise multiple regression. Results The QOL scores of these middle-aged and aged people with OP were generally low (62.58 + 14.06). Age, education level, milk intake, a history of fractures or illness, OP grade and menopause time were significant factors predicting QOL scores. Stepwise multiple regression indicated that fractures, illness, education level and menostasis time had a linear relationship with QOL. Conclusion The key points in improving the QOL of middle-aged and aged people with OP in the community are health education, early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment.

Objective To systematically assess the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture for trigeminal neuralgia. Method Randomized controlled trials of a electroacupuncture treatment for trigeminal neuralgia were sought by a computer search of CNKI,Wan Fang Data,VIP,CBM,PubMed,EMbas and The Cochrane Library.The retrieval time limit was from March 1996 to March 2016. Two reviewers sifted the literature and extracted data independently according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria andthen assessed the riskofbias of the included literatureusing the Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool.Ameta-analysis was made using RevMan 5.3.Result Finally, 12 articles were included with atotal of 847 subjects.The results ofmeta-analysis showed that the total efficacy rate was higher in the electroacupuncture group than in the control group [OR=4.04,95%CI(2.67, 6.13),P<0.00001].There were no statistically significant differences in the VAS score [MD=﹣0.06,95%CI(﹣0.59, 0.47),P=0.82] and the recurrence rate [OR=0.64,95%CI(0.05,7.45),P=0.54] between the electroacupuncture and control groups.Conclusion The currentlimited evidenceshows that the total efficacy rate fortrigeminal neuralgiais higher in the electroacupuncture group than in the control group.There are no statistically significant differences in the VAS score and the recurrence rate of trigeminal neuralgia between the electroacupuncture and control groups of patients.But the conclusions need more high-qualitytrials for validation owing to the limitation of the sample size of the included studies.

Objective To evaluate the value of using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)technique for the detection of chromosome aberration of urine exfoliated cells for the diagnosis of bladder tumor.MethodsFISH technique were used to detect the abnormalities of chromosome 3,7,17 and 9p16 site from 20 normal people, and to establish the threshold.The morning's first urinations were available from 75 patients with bladder cancer and 25 patients without urothelial tumor, then were detected using FISH technique and urine cytology respectively.The sample was considered positive if two or more probes results higher than the criteria,or one probe has two or more abnormal results.Results The sensitivity of single using were 73.3% (55/75),76.0% (57/75),62.7% (47/75) and 62.7% (47/75) for the 4 probes (3,7, 17 and 9p16)respectively.The sensitivity of combined detection was 85.3% (64/75) and specificity was 96.0% (24/25) The sensitivity and specificity of urine cytology examination was 9.3% (7/75) and 100% (25/25) .The sensitivity of FISH examination was significantly higher than that of urine cytology examination (85.3% vs 9.3% ,x2 = 57.00, P < 0.001) .Sensitivity of FISH examination was not correlated with cancer pathologic grading(low vs high : 84.2% vs 86.5%, x2 = 0.08, P > 0.05)and clinical stage (ta-tl : 82.9%, t2-t4 :87.5%, x2 = 0.32 ,P > 0.05) .ConclusionFISH technique is a non-invasive and effective method for the early diagnosis of bladder tumor and is more sensitive than urine cytology.Furthermore, FISH technique can be used to predict the tumor's biological behavivor and prognosis.

Background Age-related cataract is the leading cause of visual impairment worldwide.To seek the effective prevention and drugs for management of cataract is important.Naphthalene-induced cataract of rat is an ideal animal model for the research of human age-related cataract,and aspirin has been proven to inhibit the development of human age-related cataract.ObjectiveThe present study is to investigate the role of aspirin on naphthalene-induced cataract.Methods Forty-five 150-160 g female SD rats were divided into three groups randomly.Naphthalene was orally taken with 0.5mg/kg per day for 3 days and then 1mg/kg per day for 70 days,and then 100mg/kg of aspirin was given per day for 70 days following four-day washout period in group A.In group B,the animals was given orally only naphthalene at the same way.No any intervention was used in group C.Naphthalene-induced cataract was examined under the slim lamp every week.The experimental animals were sacrificed and lenses were obtained in 70 days.α-Crystalline was extracted from lens homogenate and purified and identified using High Performance Liquid Chromatography(HPLC),2-dimentional electrophoresis gel and Western blot.Different abilities of α-crystalline to protect β low crystalline from aggregation were observed using ultraviolet spectrophotometer.Results Naphthalene-induced cataract formed at the third week in only naphthalene group but at the sixth week in naphthalene+aspirin group under the slim lamp.No significant difference was found in the degree of lenses opacity in the second week among these three groups(F=0.032,P=0.969).However,a statistically significant difference was seen in the degree of lenses opacity in the fourth,sixth,eighth and tenth week among these three groups(F= 5031.130,P=0.000;F=115964.000,P=0.000;F=169846.500,P=0.000;F= 195431.200,P=0.000).Themolecular chaperone-like activity was significantly higher than that of the naphthalene-induced group.Conclusion Aspirin delays the progression of lens opacification through protecting α-crystalline molecular chaperone-like activity.
