The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of Omeprazole on the intragastric pH and the prevention of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in patients undergoing brain surgery. Twenty patients who received brain surgery were randomly divided into two groups. 72 hour intragastric pH monitoring was carried out in all these patients beginning 4 hours before the operation. After the operation, 10 patients in the control group received therapy, the other 10 patients in Omeprazole group received Omeprazole 40 mg intravenously once daily in addition to routine therapy. In brain surgery patients, the intragastric pH increased during the operation ( P

Objective To compare differential diagnostic value of narrow-band imaging (NBI) magnifying endoscopy and magnifying chromoendoscopy.Methods A total of 92 lesions from 75 patients were examined with conventional colonoscopy,NBI magnifying endoscopy and magnifying chromoendoscopy to evaluate pit patterns and vascular morphology patterns.Endoscopic findings were compared with the pathological results.Results The detection rate of conventional endoscopy,NBI magnifying endoscopy and magnifying chromoendoscopy were 94.6％ (87/92),97.8％ (90/92) and 100.0％ (92/92),respectively.NBI magnifying endoscopy was superior to the magnifying chromoendoscopy (P =0.000) in the the lesion contour and microvessels pattern detection,but there was no difference in the pit patterns detected with the two techniques (P =0.394).Consistency,sensitivity,and specificity of NBI magnifying endoscopy in diagnosis of colorectal neoplastic lesions were 91.3％ (84/92),83.9％ (26/31),95.1％ (58/61),respectively,while these variables of magnifying chromoendoscopy were 89.1％ (82/92),80.6％ (25/31),93.4％(57/61),which were not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Differential diagnostic value of NBI magnifying endoscopy and magnifying chromoendoscopy for colorectal neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions was similar,but NBI magnifying endoscopy displays the lesion contours and microvessels clearlier,and is easy to manipulate.

Objective:To investigate the effect of controlled low central venous pressure (CLCVP) combined with hepatic blood occlusion on blood loss and hemodynamics in hepatectomy. Methods:Sixty hepatocellular carcinoma patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Ⅰ-Ⅱ undergoing hepatectomy were randomly divided into two groups. One was the group of hepatic blood occlusion (group I);the other was the group of CLCVP combined with hepatic blood occlusion (group II). During the parenchy-mal transection phase of surgery, 60.05). Likewise, no significant difference was noted in MAP and HR at different time points of the two groups (P>0.05). The CVP in groupⅡwas significantly lower than that in groupⅠat the beginning of and 20 min after the paren-chymal transection phase of the surgery. Conclusion:CLCVP combined with hepatic blood occlusion can reduce blood loss effectively during hepatectomy.

Objective To investigate the relationship between truncating mutations of APC gene and sporadic colorectal cancer,and analyze the feasibility of non-radioactive protein truncation test (PTT) in the detection of mutations of APC gene.Methods Ninety-six samples of sporadic colorectal cancer tissues ( including 44 patients with colonic cancer and 52 patients with rectal cancer) were obtained from the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from September 2008 to September 2010.The mutation cluster region of the APC gene was screened using digital PTT labeled with fluorescent Lys-t-RNA,with a polymerase chain reaction fragment amplified from genomic DNA serving as a tenplate for in vitro translation.The occurrence of gene mutation was determined according to the emergence of truncated peptides.The mutation cluster region of the APC gene in 46 samples of colorectal cancer tissues was analyzed by direct sequencing.The detection rates of the 2 methods were compared by chi-square test.Results Thirteen (26％) truncated peptides were detected in the 50 samples of colorectal cancer tissues.The mutation type of 4 samples is nonsense mutation,which resulted in emergence of truncated gene products.Eleven (24％) truncated peptides were detected in the 46 samples of colorectal cancer tissues.There was no significant difference in the detection rates between PTT and direct sequencing ( x2 =0.033,P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusions Truncating mutations of APC gene are common alterations in sporadic colorectal cancer in the Chinese.Digital PTT labeled with fluorescent Lys-t-RNA is rapid and high-sensitive in screening gene mutations.

Newborn ovary homeobox gene (NOBOX) is an oocyte-specific homeobox gene that plays a critical role in early folliculogenesis and represents a candidate gene for nonsyndromic ovarian failure. We used in silico approach in combination with rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) to clone the full-length cDNA of NOBOX (GenBank Accession No. FJ587509) from porcine oocytes. It contains 1768 bp nucleotides, with an open reading frame (ORF) of 1419 bp. The putative porcine NOBOX gene encodes 472 amino acids with the molecular weight of 51.08 kD and pI of 5.73. Bioinformatics prediction indicates that this protein contains a cd00086 homeodomain. Real-time PCR analysis showed that the NOBOX gene is expressed in various tissues, oocytes and embryos cells (4-cell, 8-cell, morula and blastocyst) at different expression levels. The expression levels of this gene in heart, kidney and oocytes are higher than that in other tissues, which suggested that the NOBOX protein might play an important role in those tissues. The expression of NOBOX in developmental stages is higher than that in GV-stage oocytes, which suggested that the expression of pNOBOX was enhanced in developmental stages.

Objective To evaluate the effects of nurses′standardized training and to provide basis for revision of the standardized training programme by investigating core abilities of nurses before and after standardized training and post competency of nurses after the training.Methods 198 nurses in this hospital who participated in standardized training in 2013 were selected as research objects and their core abilities before and after the training and their post competency after the training were evaluated by questionnaires with separate evaluation by themselves and others.Results After standardized training,total score of nurses′core abilities were (80.26 ±10.53),higher than the score before the training (73.73 ±9.65)(t =6.303,P <0.01).After the training,for the results of nurses′self-evaluation in post competency,dimensions of good personal characteristics (4.61 ±0.51 ),clinical nursing abilities (4.61 ±0.51 ),supporting and interpersonal communication abilities (4.33 ±0.64),critical thinking abilities (4.14 ±0.82),and professional construction and development abilities (4.27 ±0.66)were all higher than the results of evaluations by others (t =7.57, 6.11,5.52,3.22,3.22;P <0.01).Conclusions Standardized training has a positive effect on improving core abilities of nurses,which is in accordance with clinical needs;the evaluation results of nurses′post competency can provide basis for revision of the standardized training programme;person-post matching helps to motivate nurses to improve their skills.

Objective: To understand the characteristics and clinical significance of anti-soluble liver antigen antibody (anti-SLA) in patients with liver diseases. Methods: Serum samples from seventy-seven patients with anti-SLA were collected from Beijing You'An Hospital during the period between January 2010 and December 2018. Anti-SLA, anti-liver cytosol type 1 antibody (anti-LC1), anti-glycoprotein 210 antibody(anti-gp210) and anti-nuclear body protein sp100 antibody(anti-sp100) were detected by immunoblotting; indirect immunofluorescence assay used for detecting anti-nuclear antibody (ANA), anti-mitochondrial antibody (AMA), anti-smooth muscle antibody (SMA), and anti-liver kidney microsome antibody (anti-LKM). One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the ages of different anti-SLA groups. The non-parametric rank sum test was used to compare the liver function indexes and immunoglobulins in different intensity groups of anti-SLA. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Further comparisons were made between the two groups, the correction level α′=0.008 3, P<0.008 3 was considered statistically significant. Results: The average age of 77 anti-SLA positive patients was (52.50±1.25) years old, 70 females (90.9%) and 7 males (9.1%). 80.5% of anti-SLA-positive patients (62/77 cases) were strongly positive at the time of initial diagnosis (+++ to ++++).The Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level in the SLA++ group was higher than that in the SLA++++ group (232.7 U/L vs 65.6 U/L,χ²=7.751,P=0.005) and the immunoglobulin M(IgM) level in the SLA+++ group was lower than that in the SLA++++ group (1 270 mg/L vs 2 270 mg/L,χ²=8.337,P=0.004).There was no significant difference in age, other liver function and immunological indicators among the different groups.Seventy cases (90.9%) were both anti-SLA and ANA positive, 13 cases (16.9%) were positive with SMA, and none positive with anti-LKM and anti-LC1. Among anti-SLA positive patients, 58 cases were diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), 12 were AIH/primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) overlap syndrome (OS), 2 were drug-induced liver injury, 2 were chronic hepatitis B, and 3 were hepatitis A, hepatitis E and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) with liver injury, respectively.Cases of AIH and AIH/PBC OS accounted for 90.9% (70/77 cases) of anti-SLA-positive patients, and 5 of 7 patients diagnosed with non-AIH (and OS) had elevated IgG, showing AIH feature.92.3% (12/13 cases) of anti-SLA with high titers of AMA were diagnosed as AIH/PBC overlap syndrome. Of the 77 anti-SLA-positive patients, 28 (36.4%) had advanced or end-stage liver disease, including decompensated cirrhosis (22 cases), chronic acute liver failure (4 cases), and liver transplantation (1 case) and death from liver failure (1 case). Conclusions Anti-SLA has high diagnostic specificity for AIH;anti-SLA positive in patients with PBC should be an important biomarker for the diagnosis of AIH/PBC overlap syndrome.

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of clinical and laboratory indexes in patients with liver disease with positive anti-liver cytosol antibody type 1 (anti-LC1), in order to provide references for clinical and differential diagnosis.Methods:The clinical data of 23 832 inpatients and outpatients with positive anti-LC1 autoantibodies detected in routine autoantibody test from January 2010 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and their clinical and laboratory indexes were compared. Western blotting was used to detect anti-LC1, anti-soluble liver antigen antibody (anti-SLA), anti-glycoprotein 210 antibodies and anti-nucleosome 100 antibodies. Indirect immunofluorescence assay was used to detect anti-nuclear antibody (ANA), anti-mitochondrial antibody, anti-Smooth muscle antibody (ASMA), anti-liver and kidney microsomal antibody (anti-LKM) and other autoantibodies. Normally distributed measurement data between the two groups were compared by independent-sample t-test, and the multiple groups comparison were compared by one-way analysis of variance. Non-normally distributed measurement data were compared by non-parametric rank sum test.Results:38 anti-LC1 positive patients were detected in 23832 autoantibody tests. The age of initial diagnosis ranged from 11.0 to 84.0 (50.6 ± 16.0) years. There were 8 males (21.1%) and 30 females (78.9%). A total of 31 cases (81.6%) were positive for anti-LC1 and ANA, and the dominant karyotype was speckled pattern, accounting for 54.8%. Five cases (13.2%) were positive for ASMA, and no simultaneous positive with anti-LKM or anti-SLA. Among the 38 anti-LC1 positive patients, 9 were diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), 6 with possible AIH, 6 with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), 8 with hepatitis B, 2 with hepatitis C, 1 with alcoholic liver disease, 2 with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, 1 with drug-induced liver injury, 1 with hepatolenticular degeneration, and 2 with tumor. Confirmed and probable AIH cases accounted for 39.5% (15/38) of anti-LC1 positive cases. Among anti-LC1 positive patients, 47.4% (18/38) had entered the stage of liver cirrhosis. AIH group globulin level was higher than HBV group ( P = 0.006) and other disease groups ( P = 0.001). AIH group IgG level was higher than PBC group ( P = 0.027), HBV group ( P = 0.009) and other disease groups ( P = 0.004). the of the PBC group IgM level was higher than AIH group ( P = 0.003), HBV group ( P = 0.003) and other disease groups ( P = 0.006). Conclusion:Anti-LC1 is not only detected in AIH, but also observed in patients with primary biliary cholangitis, hepatitis B and C, alcoholic and non-alcoholic liver disease, drug-induced liver injury, hereditary metabolic liver disease and tumor. In addition, it is mainly female gender dominance and nearly half of ANA-positive young, middle-aged and elderly patients develop liver cirrhosis. For the diagnosis of type 2 autoimmune hepatitis, whether anti-LC1 is a specific antibody needs further research, but if AIH is highly suspected, this antibody can be used as a substitute.

Objective To evaluate the effect of exercise-diet behavior intervention based on the transtheoretical model in patients undergoing weight loss surgery.Methods By convenience sampling,72 patients undergoing weight loss surgery in a tertiary general hospital in Xinxiang City,Henan Province from February 2021 to October 2022 were selected as the research subjects.By a random number table method,they were divided into a test group and a control group,with 36 cases in each group.The test group received exercise-diet behavior intervention based on the trans-theoretical model,while the control group received conventional intervention.The intervention began on the first day after admission and ended 6 months after surgery.The body mass index,body fat,lean body mass,diastolic blood pressure,systolic blood pressure,fasting blood glucose,insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR),Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-Ⅱ(HPLP-Ⅱ)score,and Short-Form-36 Health Survey(SF-36)score were compared between the 2 groups before and after surgery for 3 and 6 months,as well as the complications within 6 weeks after surgery.Results The results of repeated measures analysis of variance showed that there was an interaction between the 2 groups in terms of anthropometric measurements,blood pressure and blood glucose,HPLP-Ⅱ scores,and SF-36 scores,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.001).After 6 months of surgery,the body mass index(23.32±2.32),body fat(24.10±3.46)kg,and lean body mass(41.64±3.24)kg in the test group were lower than(27.32±3.64),(28.46±4.18)kg,and(46.68±4.65)kg in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.001).At 3 and 6 months after operation,the diastolic blood pressure,systolic blood pressure,fasting blood glucose and HOMA-IR of the test group were lower than those of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The HPLP-Ⅱ score of the test group was higher than that of the control group at 3 and 6 months after operation(P＜0.001).The SF-36 score of the test group was significantly higher than that of the control group at 6 months after operation(P＜0.05).The incidence of complications in the test group was 2.56％,which was not significantly different from 19.44％in the control group(P＞0.05).Conclusion The exercise-dietary behavior intervention based on the transtheoretical model can promote the formation of healthy behaviors in patients undergoing weight loss surgery,maintain weight loss effects,improve blood pressure and blood glucose levels,and enhance the quality of life of patients.
