Irritable bowel syndrome(IBS)is one of the most common functional gastrointestinal disorders,which severely affects the life quality of patients. Currently,the pathogenesis of IBS has not yet been clarified. Visceral hypersensitivity and central algesia abnormality may be involved in the pathogenesis of IBS. Antidepressants can improve abdominal pain,abdominal discomfort,mental disorders and abnormal defecation and enhance the quality of life. This article reviewed the advances in study on antidepressants in treatment of IBS.

A mathematical model of competition-type lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) was developed to describe the dynamic process of LFIA.The competition-type LFIA was divided into two categories: TwA-competition-type LFIA and TnA-competition-type LFIA.On the basis of the developed model, the COMSOL software was exploited to simulate the dynamic process of LFIA.The simulation result demonstrated the relationships between the concentrations of substances on the test and control lines and the influence factors.In particular, the influence factors in the TwA-competition-type LFIA included the concentrations of target analyte A (0-20 mol/L) and reporter particle P (0.01-100 mol/L), and the position of the test line (5-20 mm).On the other hand, the influence factors in the TnA-competition-type LFIA included the concentrations of target analyte A (0-20 mol/L) and reporter particle P (0.01-100 mol/L), and the porosity.Experiment result showed that the developed model could be used to explore the influence of the parameters on the test results, and optimize the performance of LFIA.

Objective To seek a rational method of estimating the demands for medical services so as to work out regional health planning in a scientific way. Methods A metropolis including 19 counties and districts was selected as a region and demands for medical services were forecasted via retrospective analysis and the econometric model. Results A model of the demands for outpatient and inpatient services was obtained based on the impact of many social and economic factors on medical health services, and illustrations were given to indicate the demands for medical health services in the 19 counties and districts in future when prices should rise by 15% and 20%. Conclusion The econometric model can be used as a tool for estimating the demands for medical health services, and yet improvements need to be made.

Aim To study the protective effect of the naringin on chemotactic factor CX3 CL1 of human umbilical vein endothelial cells ( HUVEC) induced by high glucose. Methods The effect of different concen-trations of naringin on HUVEC cell viability was deter-mined by MTS. HUVECs were divided into 4 groups:① control group, ② high glucose group, ③ naringin group and④high glucose treated with naringin group. After treatment for 5 days, the concentration of nitric oxide ( NO ) in the culture medium was measured by nitrate reductase; intracellular reactive oxygen species ( ROS) was analyzed with fluorescence probe; the ex-pressions of CX3 CL1 mRNA and protein were deter-mined by the reverse transcription PCR ( RT-PCR ) and Western blot ( WB ) . Results NO content in the culture medium of high glucose group was markedly de-creased, which could be increased by naringin. Com-pared with the control group, intracellular ROS in the high glucose group was drastically elevated, but narin-gin decreased the elevated ROS induced by high glu-cose. The results of RT-PCR and WB showed that nar-ingin could downregulate the increased expressions of CX3CL1 mRNA and protein induced by high glucose. Conclusion Naringin has protective effect on the in-jury of the HUVEC induced by high glucose, which is associated with reducing the expression of CX3 CL1 and the antioxidative and anti-inflammatory action.

Objective To reduce the screening positive rate (SPR) and improve clinical efficiency of maternal serum screening for Down's syndrome.Methods Nine thousand and thirty-three cases of second trimester maternal serum screening for Down's syndrome were included from Apr.2013 to Apr.2014 in the present study.The screening results,all basic data and equation curves were analyzed retrospectively.Based on the data from the authors' laboratory,the important adjustment parameters were simulated.Combined with postnatal follow-up results,the quality and clinical performance of second trimester serum screening for Down's syndrome were evaluated.Results The SPR of second trimester serum screening for Down's syndrome was 6.69％(604/9033),the detection rate (DR) was 75％(3/4),and FPR was 6.65％(601/9033).The median multiple of median (MOM) of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was low and SPR was high,and MOM of free human chorionic gonadotropin β subunit (free hCGβ) were high and SPR was high,while MOM of unconjugated estriol (uE3) were a little bit low,and SPR was slightly high.Considering these three factors,it is believed that the screening positive rate is high.By the simulation adjustments of MOM value equations (AFP and free hCGβ) and weight correction equation,the SPR reduced to 4.11％(371/9033) after recalculating the risk,FPR declined to 4.07％(368/9033),and no more Down's syndrome fetus were missed compared with postnatal follow-up results.Conclusion Based on a localized setting depending on the local laboratory data,we suggest that the MOM value distributions(AFP,free hCGβ and uE3) and maternal weight should be regularly adjusted since it is a useful way to reduce the false-positive rate and improve clinical efficiency of maternal serum screening for Down's syndrome.
