Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of lamivudine in the treatment of HBV-related liver failure.Methods We collected the literature on lamivudine used to treat liver failure in randomized control trail or clinical control trial studies from January 1989 to July 2007.All these clinical trials were carried out by comparing lamivudine treatment with routine medical treatment for liver failure.The literature must concern about mortality,total bilirubin(TBIL)or prothrombin activity(PTA).Odds ratio(OR)was applied to evaluate the effect of glucocorticoid to improve case fatality.Weighted mean differences(WMD)was applied to evaluate the effect of lamivudine to improve TBIL and PTA.Results There were only 13 literatures obtained,among them all about mortality,and 10 about TBIL and PTA.Effective index was 0.29(95%CI:0.21,0.40),-0.88(95%CI:-1.27,-0.48)and 0.60(95%CI:0.42,0.78)respectively for the 3 indexes.Conclusion Combination with lamivudine is more effective in treatment liver failure than only routine medical treatment.

Objective To analyze current situation and problems of health manager training in the pilot training areas. Method With the recommendations of health administration deputies in the plot areas of Shanghai, Chongqing and Urumqi, 2 centers for community health services (CHSs) were selected in each area, 9 relative persons were interviewed, 3 focus group discussions (FGDs) involved 18 persons were held totally. The FGDs focused on such questions as“the general information of the training students”“the objectives and purposes of the training in each area”, and so on. Field investigation and qualitative analysis were used to investigate the status quo and main problems of the training of health manager in the pilot areas. Result The problems of the training of health manager existing in the pilot areas mainly are:part of teachers were not fully competent to the training of health manager, training of operant skill was insufficient, training course was not unified, the assessment mechanism was not perfect. Conclusion Optimizing the construction of teachers team, standardizing the training content, increasing the time of operating skills training, establishing a unified and standardized assessment mechanism are essential.

Objective:To understand the recognition status of cancer pain in basic medical staff from small towns to provide the basis for the improvement of cancer pain management in these areas. Methods:The medical staff of Hengjiang Town and subordinate villages was selected. The study area is situated in southwest China. Centralized questionnaires regarding cancer pain were collected and analyzed. A program and education of cancer pain were provided for these medical workers. Results: The medical staff from Hengjiang asserted that only 17%of cancer pain patients receive treatments. Approximately 70%of the medical staff did not consider the popularization and explanation of cancer pain treatment in their patients. Approximately 64%of the medical staff was not familiar with standardized cancer pain control, 87%did not believe that narcotics could suffice the need of patients, and 44%did not participate in the training for cancer pain control. Conclusion: The medical staff in Hengjiang possesses less knowledge on the importance of cancer pain. Hence, further training is necessary. The specific management of cancer pain as a part of community chronic diseases is mandatory.

Objective To explore the best therapeutic methods for acute mesenteric venous thromboses(AMVT)with different degrees of intestinal ischemic lesions. Methods 6 cases of acute abdomen were preoperatively diagnosed as AMVT with imaging. After laparotomy, patients were classified as congestive lesion(n=3)and necrotic lesion(n=3)according to the degree of intestinal sichemia and were treated with mesenteric thrombectomy and bowel resection, respeetively. All cases received heparin and urokinase perioperatively. Results Of the 3 patients receiving mesenteric thrombectomy, 2 were cured and the other one with ischemic ascending colon was cured after right hemicolectomy due to the complication of colic dynamic ileus and perforation 10 days after thrombectomy. The other 3 patients recovered after bowel resection. Follow-up from 8 months to 6 years showed no recurrence. Conclusion Combined with anti-coagulation therapy, thrombectomy and bowel resection are rational and effective protocol for congestive lesion and necrotic lesion, respectively in AMVT patients.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of psychological health intervention in the elderly urban residents living on minimum subsistence allowances, and to search for a suitable psychological health intervention strategy. Methods The 112 elderly persons living on minimum subsistence allowances in Xuzhou were selected by stratified cluster sampling, and they were matched with 112 controls. The elderly persons living on minimum subsistence allowances were divided into intervention group and control group. A general intervention based on community involved psychological health and care lecture, psychodrama treatment and psychological consultancy was made on the intervention. The SCL-90 was used to evaluate the psychological health status and effectiveness of psychological health intervention. Results The elderly persons living on minimum subsistence allowances had higher SCL-90 scores compared with other residents, and their psychological health status was serious. After the psychological health intervention, the SCL-90 scores were all lower in intervention group than in control group [ interpersonal relationship sensitiveness: (1.13 ± 0. 39) vs.(1.26±0.26), t=2.12, P=0.04; gloom: (1.23±0.66) vs. (1.43±0.24), t=2.08, P=0.04;anxiety: (1. 18±0.50) vs. (1.38±0.34), t=2.17, P=0.03; hostility: (1.24±0.49) vs. (1.40±0.28), t=2.03, P=0.04; other factor: (1. 31±0.56) vs. (1.49±0.31), t=2.04, P=0.04; total score: (115.89± 17.21) vs. (122.64± 10.41), t=2.42, P=0.02]. Conclusions The psychological health parameters are improved by psychological health intervention.

Objective To investigate the role of mucosal mast cells infiltration and degranulation with nerve growth factor (NGF)in development of visceral hypersensitivity in Sprague-Dawley (SD)rats. Methods The model of visceral hypersensitivity of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)was established in 19 neonate SD rats with intestinal stimulation (rectalballon distention)on 8th,10th and 12th postnatal days. The other 19 neonate SD rats without colonic distention were assigned to the control group.After rats grew up (six to eight weeks old),the visceral sensitivity was tested by abdominal withdrawal reflex (AWR)in 10 rats of each group.Mast cell infiltration and degranulation were observed with toluidine blue staining in colon tissue slides.The NGF level of intestinal tissues was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)methods in the left nine rats of each group.The culture system of dorsal root ganglias (DRG)from the neonatal rats was set up.The changes of electrophysilogical characters of DRG stimulated with NGF (100 ng/mL)for four days were recorded with patch-clamp.Paired t test was performed for comparison between groups.Results The results of AWR indicated that neonatal colonic stimulation could significantly increase visceral sensitivity after growing up.Under 20,40 and 60 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa)distention pressure,visceral sensitivity scores of visceral hypersensitivity rats and rats of control group were 1 .00±0.50 vs 1 .67 ±0.50,1 .89 ±0.31 vs 2.89 ±0.34 and 2.89 ±0.33 vs 3.89±0.33,the differences were statistically significant (t=-2.83,-6.00 and -6.00,all P <0.05 ). The results of master cells staining in tissue slides showed colonic master cells infiltration was obvious in rats with visceral hypersensitivity,and part of mast cells were degranulation.The result of ELISA demonstrated that NGF level of visceral hypersensitivity rats was significantly higher than that of control group ((11.07±3.06)pg/mg vs (2.38 ±1.88)pg/mg,t =-6.93,P <0.05).The results of electrophysilogical tests of primary cultured DRG indicated that compared with blank control growp,the action potential threshold of neuron in NGF 100 ng/mL group significantly decreased ((-18.0±2.1 )mV vs (-29.0 ± 2.5 )mV,t = 12.26,P <0.05)and discharge frequency increased ((5 .0± 1 .4 )/800 ms vs (12.0 ± 3.2)/800 ms,t=-8.40,P <0.05 ).Meanwhile,neuron voltage-gated K+ current density remarkably decreased,most were sustained delayed rectifier K+ current (I K )decreasing ((279.0 ±48.0)pA/pF vs (203.0±39.0)pA/pF,t=6.18,P <0.05).Conclusion Colonic stimulation in neonatal rats could cause intestinal master cells infiltration and degranulation,which induced changes of neuron electrophysilogical characters and resulted in visceral hypersensitivity after growing up.

Objective To explore the effect of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) on inflammatory factors in rats with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) and the possible mechanism of anti-inflammatory. Methods Seventy male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into normal control group (n = 10), LPS model group (n = 30), and ADSCs intervention group (n = 30) by random number table. ALI model was reproduced by intraperitoneal injection of 8 mg/kg LPS, and the rats in ADSCs intervention group received tail vein injection of 300 μL ADSCs 30 minutes after the model reproduction, the samples of normal control group were harvested immediately without any intervention, and the specimens in remained two groups were taken at 6, 24, 72 hours respectively. Arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and lactate level in femoral artery were determined. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the serum myeloperoxidase (MPO) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in the blood of left ventricle. Lung wet/dry weight (W/D) ratio was detected by thoracotomy, and the pathological changes of lung tissue were observed under an optical microscope. Western Blot was used to detect the protein expression of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in lung tissue of rats. Results Compared with the normal control group, the damage degree of lung tissue of LPS model group was significantly heavier from 6 hours, and lung W/D ratio, blood lactate, MPO, IL-10 and expression level of NF-κB in lung tissue were significantly increased respectively, while PaO2 was decreased significantly. Compared with LPS model group, the damage degree of lung tissue of ADSCs intervention group was significantly reduced from 6 hours, and lung W/D ratio, blood lactate, MPO, and NF-κB expression in lung tissue were significantly decreased, while PaO2 was increased significantly, and it became normal at 72 hours [lung W/D ratio: 5.33±0.29 vs. 5.77±0.42 at 6 hours, 5.14±0.46 vs. 5.43±0.38 at 72 hours; blood lactate (mmol/L): 3.6±1.0 vs. 5.7±1.1 at 6 hours, 3.1±1.0 vs. 3.8±1.2 at 72 hours; blood MPO (μg/L): 1.50±0.90 vs. 2.70±1.85 at 6 hours, 0.46±0.30 vs. 0.71±0.22 at 72 hours; NF-κB (gray value): 0.40±0.11 vs. 0.50±0.09 at 6 hours, 0.24±0.03 vs. 0.33±0.06; PaO2 (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 78.0±4.1 vs. 74.5±3.2 at 6 hours, 89.3±9.4 vs. 81.9±3.4 at 72 hours; all P < 0.05]. The IL-10 level was significantly higher than that of LPS model group only at 24 hours (ng/L: 27.75±15.49 vs. 17.52±6.56, P < 0.05). Conclusion ADSCs can effectively relieve the inflammatory response of ALI induced by LPS, probably by inhibiting the expressions of NF-κB and blocking the release of inflammatory cytokines.

Objective To analyze the prevalence of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) accompanied with diarrhea in order to analyze the possible risk factors and its impact on short-term prognosis.Methods From January 2013 to June 2015,a total of 169 IBD patients with diarrhea who visited Rui Jin Hospital,School of Medicine,Shanghai Jiaotong University were enrolled,and in the same period 184 non-IBD patients with diarrhea were enrolled as control group.Clinical data of IBD patients with diarrhea were collected.Clostridium difficile toxins A and B of stool specimens of all included patients were detected with enzyme immunoassay.T test,chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were performed for statistical analysis.Results Among 169 IBD patients with diarrhea,there were 137 adults and 32 children.The positive rate of CDI of IBD patients with diarrhea (9.5％,16/169) was higher than that of non-IBD patients with diarrhea (1.1％,2/184),and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =12.785,P ＜ 0.0l).The positive rate of CDI in adults and children with IBD accompanied with diarrhea were 7.3％ (10/137),and 18.8％ (6/32),respectively.Among 16 CDI-positive IBD patients with diarrhea,10 patients had hospitalization history before admission,and the rate of previous hospitalizations was higher than that of CDI-negative IBD patients with diarrhea (37.3％,57/153),and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =2.875,P =0.01,odds ratio (OR) =1.26,95％ confidence interval (CI) 0.78 to 2.03).Furthermore,among 16 CDI-positive IBD patients with diarrhea,14 patients had been treated with antibiotic drugs before,the antibiotic utilization rate was higher than that of CDI-negative IBD patients with diarrhea (34.6％,53/153),and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =14.778,P ＜ 0.01,OR =24.74,95％ CI 3.15 to 194.46).However,there was no statistically significant difference in the length of hospitalization,incidence of bowel surgery and usage of inflaximab within six months after Clostridium difficile detection between the CDI-positive group and CDInegative group of 1BD patients with diarrhea (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The incidence of CD1 in IBD patients with diarrhea increases.The risk factors include history of previous hospitalization before admission and antibiotic usage.However there is no significant correlation between CDI and short-term prognosis of IBD.

Objective To investigate the impact of a peer support model on the mental health of caregivers and the perceived social support and psychiatric symptoms of the mental disorder patients under their care. Methods Patients with mental disorders undergoing long-term community-based rehabilitation and their primary caregivers were recruited for this study. A total of 44 pairs of eligible patients and caregivers were selected based on a 1∶1 matching ratio. Systematic peer support activities were conducted exclusively for the caregivers. The General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) and the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) were administered before and after the intervention to assess the mental health status of caregivers. The Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS) and the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) were employed to evaluate the patients' perceived social support and psychiatric conditions before and after the intervention. Results A total of 44 valid questionnaires from caregivers and 42 from patients were collected. The GHQ score and the total scores, the number of positive item, positive total scores, and positive mean scores of and SCL-90 of caregivers were significantly lower after the intervention compared to pre-intervention (P < 0.05 or P < 0.001). For patients, the family support score, extracurricular support score, and total score of the PSSS were significantly higher post-intervention compared to pre-intervention (P < 0.05 or P < 0.001). Compared to pre-intervention, patients'scores on anxiety and depression, lack of energy, thought disturbance, activation, hostility and suspicion, and the total score on the BPRS were significantly lower after the caregiver peer support intervention (P < 0.001). Conclusion The peer support model contributes to improving the mental health of caregivers for patients with mental disorders and enhancing the patients'psychiatric conditions.
