Objective To investigate the clinical pathological characteristics and pattern changes of gastric polyps in the past 15 years.Methods From 1998 to 2012,the cases of gastric polyps diagnosed by gastroscopy were collected.Data of gender,age,location,number,size,Yamata type,pathological type,Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection were retrospectively analyzed.The data were analyzed by Chi square test.Results Among 62 975 cases received gastroscopy,gastric polyps were detected in 2 643 patients and the gastric polyps detection rate was 4.20％,which of female (5.91％,1 790/30 269) was higher than that of male (2.61％,853/32 706).And patients aged ≥60 years old has a high prevalence of gastric polyps; the detection rate was 6.39％(1 124/17 590).The positive rate of H.pylori infection in patients detected with gastric polyp was 12.70％ (321/2 527).Gastric body (40.41％,1 068/2 643) and fundus (26.79％,708/2 643) were two predilection sites of gastric polyps.About 69.05％(1 825/2 643) patients' polyps were solitary,74.76％(1 976/2 643) patients' polyps were less than 0.5 cm in diameter and mainly were Yamata type Ⅰ (30.68％,811/2 643) or type Ⅱ (54.41％,1 438/2 643).The common pathological types were hyperplastic polyps (43.80％,1 109/2 532),inflammatory polyps (34.24％,867/2 532),fundic-gland polyps (19.55％,495/2 532) and adenomatous polyps (2.41％,61/2 532).The detection rate of polyps gradually increased in the past 15 years.Between 1998 to 2002,2003 to 2007,2008 to 2012,the average of 5-year detection rates were 1.11％,2.50％ and 6.49％,respectively.However,the proportion of pathological types didn't change significantly.Conclusions The detection rate of gastric polyps gradually increased year by year,and elderly woman is at high risk.Hyperplastic and inflammatory polyps ware the most common types.

Objective To investigate the prognosis of patients with nasal NK/T cell lymphoma receiving different treatment modalities. Methods From 1990 to 2004, 85 patients with stage ⅠE and ⅡE primary nasal NK/T cell lymphomas were retrospectively studied. Twenty patients received chemotherapy of CHOP regimen alone, 11 patients received radiotherapy only, 6 patients received radiotherapy followed by more than 2 cycles of chemotherapy, and 48 patients received more than 2 cycles of chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy. Survival analysis was performed by the Kaplan-Meier method, the difference between groups was evaluated by the Log-rank test, and the Cox regression model was used for multivariate analysis. Results The 5-year overall survival rate (OS) was 40%. The 5-year OS was 57% and 28% for limited stage ⅠE and extended stage ⅠE(X2 =8. 87, P =0. 003), and 23% for stage ⅡE, which was similar to extended stage ⅠE (X2 =0. 19, P-0. 664). The 5-year OS was 13%, 54% and 47% for chemotherapy alone, radiotherapy followed with or without chemotherapy, and chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy, respectively. The last two groups had better OS than chemotherapy alone (P = 0. 030 and 0.049). The 5-year OS was 58% and 12% for patients achieving complete response (CR) and uncomplete response (X2 = 30.68, P = 0. 000).The CR rate was 56% and 86% for radiotherapy of ≤50 Gy and >50 Gy (X2 =6.11, P=0. 013). The corresponding 5-year relapse-free survival rate was 89% and 84% (X2 =0.36, P=0.551). Of 68 patients receiving initial chemotherapy, the CR rate of those who received ≤2, 3-4 and ≥5 cycles was 0, 20%and 3 3 % , respectively (X2 = 7.65 , P = 0. 022) . For 5 0 patients who received ≥ 3 cycles of initial chemotherapy and 17 patients who received initial radiotherapy of ≥40 Gy, the CR rate was 28% and 88%(χ2= 18. 75, P= 0. 000). In patients with pathological nodular and ulcer type, the CR rates with radiotherapy were higher than with chemotherapy (100%: 38%, χ2 = 7.92, P = 0. 005; and 100%: 11%,χ2 = 14.40, P = 0. 000). Multivariate analysis showed that stage and recent effect were the independent prognostic factors. Conclusions The initial radiotherapy with 50 Gy is appropriate for early stage nasal NK/T cell lymphomas. Combined chemotherapy could be used for extended stage ⅠE and ⅡE, but the outcome of CHOP regimen is poor.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?)promoter polymorphisms(at position-308 or-238)in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD),and to explore the relationship between TNF-? promoter polymorphisms and obesity and the insulin resis tance(IR)in those patients.Methods Metabolic variables were measured in 117 patients with NAFLD, among them 60 were obesity and 57 were non-obesity.Genotype of TNF-? promoter were determined by PCR-RFLP.Plasma TNF-? level was measured by ELISA.Indexes of IR and insulin secretion were determined using the homeostasis model assessment method.One hundred and twenty normal subjects who were matched for age and sex served as control.Results The G→A mutation of the-238 TNF-? polymorphism was significantly higher in patients with NAFLD versus controls(29.9% vs.15.8%, P

Objective To observe the anti-atherosclerosis (AS) mechanisms of Shuxinwenban granules by observing its effects on the serum level of MMP-9, the expression of VEGF and the formation of the plaques in rabbits. Methods Totally 40 healthy female and male rabbits were divided into control group, model group, Shuxinwenban granules group and Simvastatin group. Control group was treated with basic diet, and other groups were treated with high cholesterol diet for 12 weeks to make AS rabbit models. The treatment groups were given corresponding drugs by gavage for 4 weeks. The serum levels of MMP-9 in rabbits were detected by double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent method and the surface density of VEGF in the atherosclerotic plaques by immunohistochemical staining, at the same time, the pathological changes of the aorta and atheroclerotic plaques were observed. Results Compared with the model group, Shuxinwenban granules significantly decreased the serum levels of MMP-9, and the difference was statistically significant (P <0.01). Similarly, Shuxinwenban granules could significantly decrease the surface density of VEGF in atherosclerotic plaques, the difference was also statistically significant (P<0.01). Pathology showed that the intervention of Shuxinwenban granules decreased the area of atherosclerotic plaque, caused the plaque to smaller and thinner. Conclusion Shuxinwenban granules blocked the inflammatory response by inhibiting the expression of VEGF in atherosclerotic plaque and decreasing the levels of MMP-9 in serum, which lessened the formation of the atherosclerotic plaques.

AIM To investigate the effect of ke tamine on ATP-sensitive K + currents (I K ATP ) in single airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells of asthmatic rat. METHODS Single ASM cells of asthmatic rat were isolated with enzymatic dissociation technique. Effect of ketamine on I K ATP in single ASM cells was studied using the whole-cell configu ration of patch clamp technique.

Methods Totally 64 patients were examined by CDI, TCD, cranium CT, MRI, DSA and nerves function score (NIHSS) to judge their types of carotid plaque. Their plasma levels of MMP-9 and C-reactive protein (CRP) were detected. Results Plasma MMP-9 had direct correlation with plaque vulnerability(r=0.92,P

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of early rehabilitation on the clinical neurodefect score,limb movement ability,ability of daily living(ADL)after intracerebral hematoma eliminated by neuroendoscope.Methods31 cases after intracerebral hematoma eliminated by neuroendoscope were randomly divided into two groups:rehabilitation group(16 cases) and control group(15 cases).Rehabilitation group were treated with serial rehabilitation programs after the patients' living sign had been stable over 48 hours.ResultsIn rehabilitation group, the clinical neurodefect score,amended Fugl Meyer assessment score and Bathel index score were better than that in control(P<0.05).ConclusionsEarly rehabilitation after intracerebral hematoma eliminated by neuroendoscope can reduce neurodefect degree and disability rates,improve limbs movement ability and ADL.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic threshold value and diagnostic performance of high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-cTnT)for elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods 835 emergency department patients with chest pain were recruited in the study,then these patients were divided into elderly group (≥65 years old)and control group(<65 years old).Hs-cTnT concrentrations were compared between the two groups;The difference of hs-cTnT concentrations between AMI pa-tients and non-AMI patients were compared in elderly group and control group respectively;The optimal threshold values of the hs-cTnT for acute myocardial infarction were determined by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The hs-cTnT con-centrations of non-AMI patients in elderly group were 18.4(14.5-32.5)ng/L,which were higher than those of non-AMI patients in control group[3.2(3.0-8.2)ng/L],and the difference were statistically significant(P <0.05);The hs-cTnT concentrations of AMI patients in elderly group were 136.1 (51.6 - 384.1 )ng/L,which were higher than those of AMI patients in group 68.5 (25.6-217.1)ng/L,and the difference were statistically significant(P <0.05).According to the ROC curve,the optimal threshold value for AMI diagnosis in elderly group by using hs-cTnT was 32 ng/L,which was higher than that in control group(14 ng/L). The specificity and the positive predictive value of the optimal threshold value determined by ROC were apparently higher than the 99th percentile(P 99 )in elderly group respectively,the difference were statistically significant(P <0.05).Conclusion The hs-cTnT levels were positively related with age.The optimal threshold value of hs-cTnT for AMI(32 ng/L)was higher than the P 99 (14ng/L)in elderly group.

Magnetic chitosan microspheres(M-CS) were prepared and used for yeast alcohol dehydrogenase(YADH) immobilization.The optimum technology and the properties of immobilized YADH were studied.The optimal immobilization conditions for YADH were:20ml of 0.25mg/ml of YADH in phosphate buffer(0.05mol/L,pH 7.0) reacted with 50mg of magnetic M-CS at 4℃ for 2h.The microspheres were characterized by transmission electron microscopy,the results showed that M-CS were regular sphere with an average size of 30nm and had magnetic response characteristic.The M-CS suspended in H2O solution was easily precipitated and separated by magnetic field.Mechanical strength and crosslinking degree of M-CS were influenced by the ratio of carrier and immobilized YADH,ion concentration in phosphate buffer and pH of the solution.The immobilization was slightly influenced by the reaction temperature.The immobilization would improve its thermal,basic resistant and acid resistant stability.After the immobilized enzyme was kept between 35℃ to 75℃ for one hour,it still had 70 % of initial enzyme activity,when it was kept pH between 5.0 to 7.4 for one hour,it still had 80% of initial enzyme activity.The optimal reaction temperature of the immobilized enzyme was 40℃ compared to 30℃ of the free YADH,the optimal reaction pH of the immobilized enzyme was 6.8 as same as one of the free enzyme.Storaged at the temperature of 4℃ for 30 days without any protection by reagent,the free enzyme only kept 26% of the original activity but the immobilized enzyme still retained 60% of the activity.The immobilized enzyme maintained 70% of the activity after circular use 5 times.The Km value of immobilized YADH for Pyruvate was 2.58 mmol/L compared to 3.31 mmol/L of the free YADH,it would reduce its appetency for the substrate.

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the negative predictive value (NPV) and Sensitivity(Sen) of ruling out acute myocardial infarction(AMI) using low risk electrocardiogram(ECG) and baseline high-Sensitivity troponin T(hs-cTnT) immediately in chest pain patients. Methods Patients presenting to chest pain center with complain of chest pain in West China hospital of Sichuan university were enrolled. Clinical data including ECG and hs-cTnT concentration were gained .According to different diagnosis cutoff point, the NPV and Sen of ruling out AMI using low risk ECG and baseline hs-cTnT immediately in chest pain patients were evaluated. Results An hs-cTnT cutoff of 5 ng/L resulted in a NPV of 99.9%ruling out of all non-AMI patients. Adding the information of a low risk ECG resulted in a 100%NPV (19.51%ruled out). At any diagnosis cutoff point, present hs-cTnT concentration can not rule out AMI completely . Adding the information of a low risk ECG , the NPV of present hs-cTnT was improved and more non-AMI patients were ruled out safely. Conclusions It is safe to rule out AMI among the chest pain patients when the level of hs-cTnT less than 5 ng/L combined with low risk electrocardiogram.
