Objective To illustrate the evaluation effect of bivariate analysis of sensitivity and specificity meta-analysis model in diagnosis test to provide basis for selecting better evaluation method of diagnostic test.Methods Bivariate model was presented by reanalyzing the data from a published meta-analysis of two diagnostic techniques in diagnosis of schistosomiasis japonica.Results The bivariate model could directly provide summary estimates of(logit)sensitivity,specificity and DOR with corresponding 95% CI for two diagnostic tests(IHA and ELISA).Also,it could elicit any significant difference that existed among sensitivity,specificity and DOR between the two diagnostic methods,and incorporate any correlation that existed between sensitivity;specificity.Conclusion The bivariate model preserves the two dimensional nature of the original data,and separates effects of sensitivity and specificity,which is more rational than a net effect on diagnostic odds ratio scale as in SROC approach.The bivariate model is appropriate and agile,and can be used as an extension and improvement of the traditional SROC method.

Objective To evaluate the long-term therapeutic effect of hyaluronic acid on adults with Kashia-Beck disease and the applicability of the joint dysfunction index.Methods A cluster-randomized,starch tablets-controlled trial was carried out depending on the joint dysfunction index of assessment for therapeutic efficacy on Kashin-Beck disease and self-assessment by patients of the Treatment Effect of Kaschin Beck Disease in Criterion.A total of 99 adults with Kashia-Beck disease were randomly divided into two groups:treatment group including 50 patients were intra-articular injected hyaluronic acid in knee weekly for 4 weeks,and the control group including 49 patients were treated with oral starch tablets for 3 months,2 tablets each time,3 times a day.We carried out 48 months follow-up and assessed the applicability of Kashia-Beck disease with treatment of hyaluronic acid.Results The improvement rates of joint dysfunction index were 80.0％ (40/50),83.0％ (39/47),86.4％ (38/44),85.7％(36/42),80.0％(36/45),and 47.1％(16/34) for 1 week and 1,2,3,6,48 months in treatment group,respectively,which were significantly higher than those of corresponding control group 25.0％ (12/48),28.3％ (13/46),33.3％ (16/48),25.0％ (10/40),30.0％ (12/40),and 21.4％ (6/28),and the differences were statistically significant between corresponding groups (x2=29.744,28.236,17.762,30.665,21.537,4.406; all P ＜ 0.05).Before treatment,the treatment group and control group in the joint dysfunction index scores were 7.59 ± 1.82 and 6.89 ± 1.97(t =1.837,P ＞ 0.05),respectively.After treatment,1 month follow up of the treatment group and control group in the joint dysfunction index scores were 3.44 ± 1.71 and 5.55 ± 2.34(t =4.972,P ＜ 0.01),respectively; 6 months follow up were 3.46 ± 2.78 and 6.10 ± 1.83(t =5.102,P ＜ 0.01),respectively; 48 months follow up were 5.13 ± 2.88 and 6.81 ± 3.07(t =2.219,P ＜ 0.05),respectively.The satisfaction of 85.1％ (40/47) in treatment group was significantly higher than that of 60.9％(28/46) in control group (Z =-4.012,P ＜ 0.01).Kappa value between joint dysfunction index and the overall evaluation of the treatment group after treatment was 0.526,which belong to moderate intensity of consistent degree (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The therapeutic effect of intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid on adults with Kashia-Beck disease is significant and lasting,and the joint dysfunction index has better applicability to evaluate the long-term therapeutic effect.

Objective To evaluate the applicability of western Ontario and McMaster university osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) on Kaschin-Beck disease (KBD).Methods Clinical degree Ⅰ adult patients with KBD came from Yongshou and Linyou Counties in Shaanxi Province were investigated according to the historical diagnostic data and The Diagnosis Standard of Kashin-Beck Disease (GB 16003-1995),exclusion of other chronic diseases.Reliability of WOMAC was measured by retest reliability,1/2 coefficient and Cronbach'α reliability coefficient analysis; validity of the WOMAC was tested by the principal components,factor analysis and correlation analysis methods.Results Totally 200 adults patients with KBD were investigated,and 177 effective questionnaires were taken back (88.5 ％).Retest reliability was 0.754-0.853,1/2 coefficient was 0.886-0.971,and Cronbach'α reliability coefficient was 0.878-0.956.In three dimensions of WOMAC scale extracted a common factor,the cumulative variance contribution rate was 81.238％ through principal component factor.The pearson correlation coefficient between all items score of WOMAC and scale score and total score of WOMAC was more than 0.600.The differences of WOMAC score were not statistically significant in different ages,different grading of adult KBD patients (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion WOMAC scale used in KBD has good validity and reliability,but has low degree of differentiation.

Objective To investigate the improvement of quality of life of patient with Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) after knee joint cavity injection of hyaluronic acid.Methods Fifty KBD patients were selected in Yongshou County Shaanxi Province,and accepted knee joint cavity injection of hyaluronic acid (25 mg) for four times,one time a week.SF-36 health questionnaire was used to evaluate the quality of life of KBD patients,and the quality adjusted life years (QALYs) were calculated after 2 months.Results The total score of the quality of life of KBD patients was improved from 38.81 ± 17.39 to 49.35 ± 17.95 after knee joint cavity injection of hyaluronic acid.The scores of physiological function (PF),body pain (BP),general health (GH),energy (VT),social function (SF) and mental health (MH) in the eight dimensions of SF-36 scale were 54.42 ± 21.25,47.42 ± 20.80,48.00 ± 26.12,61.05 ± 19.14,68.09 ± 28.73 and 68.74 ± 14.85,respectively,after the treatment,which were higher than those before the treatment (41.51 ± 22.11,27.63 ± 11.78,38.76 ± 25.14,51.97 ± 18.14,57.89 ± 30.95 and 56.95 ± 20.47,t =-3.942,-6.344,-2.494,-2.785,-2.819 and-4.245,all P ＜ 0.05).The QALYs of KBD patients increased 0.051 ± 0.044 with 2 months followed up.Conclusion The quality of life (PF,BP,GH,VT,SF and MH) of KBD patients could be significantly improved after knee joint cavity injection of hyaluronic acid.

Objective To investigate the effect of jejunal infusion of amino acids on secretion of gastrointestinal hormone in healthy dogs.Methods Six healthy adult dogs were treated with jejunal fistulas and femoral vein intubation.Twenty-four hours after the operation,solution of 8 different amino acid monomers (experimental group) or normal saline (control group) were infused into the jejunum of the dogs every 24hours.The levels of cholecystokinin (CCK),motilin,and gastrin in the peripheral plasma were measured using radioimmunoassay at the start of infusion (0 minute),and 30,60,90,and 120 minutes after infusion.Results Compared with the control group,the serum CCK level in the phenylalanine group was significantly higher 30 and 60 minutes after infusion [(1.25 ±0.19) ng/L vs.(0.66 ±0.14) ng/L,(1.23 ±0.12) ng/L vs.(0.80 ± 0.03) ng/L,both P ＜ 0.01],while that in the tryptophan group was significantly higher 30 minutes after infusion [(1.08 ±0.26) ng/L vs.(0.66 ±0.14) rig/L,P ＜0.01].The other measurement results showed no statistically significant differences.Conclusions Jejunal infusion of phenylalanine or tryptophan may stimulate the secretion of gastrointestinal hormone to some extent.Aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine and tryptophan) is more potent in triggering the release of CCK than aliphatic (leucine,isoleucine,and methionine) and charged amino acids (aspartic acid,arginine,and glutamate).The mechanism may be related to the properties of the amino acids.

Objective To evaluate the effects of docosahexaenoic acid ( DHA) on the expression of angiotensin?2 ( Ang?2) and vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) in rat brain microvascular endo?thelial cells (BMVECs) subjected to oxygen?glucose deprivation (OGD). Methods Primarily cultured rat BMVECs were divided into 3 groups ( n=18 each) using a random number table: control group ( group C) , OGD group and DHA group. The cells were cultured with glucose?free and serum?free DMEM culture medium in OGD and DHA groups. In group DHA, DHA 40μmol was added, and then the cells were ex?posed to 1%O2?5%CO2?94%N2 in an air?tight incubator. The cells were cultured in the normal glucose and normal oxygen conditions in group C. All the cells were cultured for 24 h. Cell apoptosis was detected using Annexin V∕propidium iodide flow cytometry assay, and the apoptosis rate was calculated. The concentra?tions of Ang?2, VEGF, prostaglandin E2 ( PGE2 ) and prostacyclin ( PGI2 ) in the supernatant of the cul?ture medium were determined by enzyme?linked immunosorbent assay. The expression of Ang?2 mRNA and VEGF mRNA in cells was detected by real?time polymerase chain reaction. The expression of cyclooxygen?ase?2 ( COX?2) protein in cells was detected by Western blot. Results Compared with group C, the ap?
optosis rate and concentrations of Ang?2, VEGF, PGE2 and PGI2 in the supernatant were significantly in?creased, and the expression of Ang?2 mRNA, VEGF mRNA and COX?2 protein was significantly up?regu?lated in OGD and DHA groups (P<0.05). Compared with group OGD, the apoptosis rate and concentra?tions of Ang?2, VEGF, PGE2 and PGI2 in the supernatant were significantly decreased, and the expression of Ang?2 mRNA, VEGF mRNA and COX?2 protein was significantly down?regulated in group DHA ( P<0.05) . Conclusion DHA can inhibit the expression of Ang?2 and VEGF in rat brain BMVECs subjected to OGD and reduce cell apoptosis, and down?regulated expression of COX?2 protein is involved in the mecha?nism.
