Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of low-dose dexamethasone pretreatment regimen in prevention of hypersensitive reaction (HR) related to docetaxel in elderly tumor patients. Methods According to the order for admission and the ratio of 3:2, 91 elderly patients with docetaxel weekly therapy were randomly divided into two groups: experimental group and control group. All patients aged from 65 to 82 years with a median age of 68 years old. There were 54 patients in the experimental group and 37 patients in the control group. In the experimental group, patients received oral dexamethasone 4. 5 mg once daily on 1 day before treatment, the day of treatment and continuing for 3 days after treatment, while patients received 8 mg twice daily in the control group. All patients were scored according to MCIRS by the physician. The side effects were evaluated by NCI-CTCAE3.0. Results Four cases in the experimental group (7.4 %) and three cases in the control group (8. 1%) occurred HR, and there was no significant statistical difference (P=1. 000). Conclusions The low dose dexamethasone is efficient and safe compared with the conventional dose dexamethasone, and there is no significant difference in HR incidence between two groups.

Objective:To evaluate diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced harmonic endoscopic ultrasonography (CEH-EUS) for pancreatic cystic lesions.Methods:Endoscopic and clinical follow-up data of patients with pancreatic cystic lesions diagnosed by EUS in Department of Gastroenterology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University with CEH-EUS video from March 2013 to April 2020 was retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 36 patients were included. There were 16 cases of serous cystadenomas (SCA), 10 cases of mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN), 5 cases of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN, 3 with complex type, 2 with main pancreatic duct type) and 5 cases of pancreatic pseudocyst (PPC). 87.5%(14/16) of SCA and 86.7%(13/15) of MCN+ IPMN had hyperenhanced cystic wall with obvious peak and similar washout as surrounding tissue, whereas only 20%(1/5) PPC had hyperenhanced cystic wall. The hyperenhancing effect of PPC was significantly lower than that of SCA and MCN+ IPMN ( P=0.0035 and P=0.0048, respectively ). Mural nodules were detected in 17 cases of pancreatic cystic lesions by EUS, of which 3 cases had hyperenhanced mural modules and 14 cases had hypoenhanced mural nodules by CEH-EUS. Patients showing hyperenhanced mural modules were all finally diagnosed as pancreatic malignancy (1 IPMN, 2 MCN), and the accuracy was 100%. Conclusions:CEH-EUS can have a obvious advantage of differentiating pseudocyst and other pancreatic cystic lesions, while not very useful for differentiating SCA and MCN. Pancreatic cystic lesions showing hyperenhanced mural nodules under CEH-EUS may imply malignancy potential.

Objective To establish the orthotopic human pancreatic cancer model in mice and study the method to detect the tumor growth. Methods Human pancreatic cancer cell lines SW1990 in logarithmic phase was made into cell suspension and in situ injected into the envelope of pancreatic tail of BALB/c nude mice. High-frequency endoscopy ultrasound was used to observe the growth of tumor mass and its imaging characteristics were studied. Results 20 nude mice were successfully implanted, and 1 died 25 h after implantation. 14 days after implantation, the tumor of pancreatic cancer on EUS was (8.09 ± 2.61) mm3, the tumor appeared as homogeneous hypoechoic mass with clear boundary, and envelope as well as sound halo was present, and the shape was regular; there was low speed circular vasculature signal in around 30% of tumor.The tumor size increased to (12.40 ± 3.51)mm3, and the shape of 70% tumor was irregular, and some appeared as lobulated, and the tumor appeared as heterogeneous hypoechoic mass, no necrosis or liquefaction was found 28 days after implantation. There was low speed circular vasculature signal in around 70% tumors.Conclusions The orthotopic pancreatic cancer model in nude mouse can be established by in situ injection and this method is relatively ideal because it is simple and effective. The high frequency probe of endoscopic ultrasonograph is a reliable method for monitoring implanted pancreatic cancer.

Objective To investigate the extent of radiofrequency ablation of pig pancreas in vitro with various power and duration,and to establish the regression equation of radiofrequency ablation of porcine pancreas in vitro.Methods Among the 4 settings of power (from 5 w ~ 20 w) and 11 settings of duration (from 40s ~ 240s),44 combinations were selected,and every combination was performed twice,then a randomization table including 88 combinations was established,and 88 ablation procedures on porcine pancreases in vitro were performed.The uhrasonography changes were observed,ablation widths (Y) were measured,and pathological examination was performed.In order to construct optimal model and to establish the regression equation of radiofrequency ablation,9 parameters (duration,power,duration × power,the square of duration,the square of power,the square root of duration,the square root of power,the natural logarithm of duration,the natural logarithm of power) derived from duration and power were analyzed via stepwise regression method.Results A rectangular echo enhanced region was observed along the working area of catheter when radiofrequency ablation started,and it gradually became wider during ablation.A hoar-like cylindrical ablation region that was clearly different from surrounding normal pancreatic tissue was formed.Carbonation of necrotic tissue could be observed after radiofrequency ablation under 15 w or 20 w.The optimal model showed a linear positive correlation between ablation width (Y) with the square of power and the natural logarithm of duration.The coefficient of determination of this model was 0.71.Both Fitting curve and Residual scatter diagram showed good fitting effect.Finally,a significant regression equation of radiofrequency ablation was established:Y (mm) =0.005 × E2 + 0.9374 × ln (t)-0.6943.Conclusions A significant regression equation of radiofrequency ablation is established,which provides experimental base for EUS-guided radiofrequency ablation of pancreatic tumors in clinical practice.

Objective This paper summarizes and evaluates the existing animal models of Post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome(PI-IBS)based on the clinical diagnostic criteria and symptom characteristics of PI-IBS in Chinese and western medicine.The goal of this study is to seek out animal models with a high degree of clinical agreement between Chinese and western medicine,and to provide an accurate animal model for the prevention and treatment of PI-IBS in traditional Chinese medicine.Methods The animal strains,modelling methods,and mechanisms of the existing PI-IBS animal models were summarized based on the clinical diagnostic features and symptomatology of PI-IBS,as well as the degree of match was evaluated and the strengths and weaknesses of the preparation of animal models were analyzed,by reviewing the articles related to PI-IBS animal experiments and the preparation of animal models.Results A thorough analysis discovered that Campylobacter jejuni infection model,Trichinella infection model,and liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome in models of disease and symptom combination showed a comparatively high level of clinical agreement between Chinese and western medicine.Conclusion The existing PI-IBS models had the high degree of coincidence with western medicine,Chinese medicine four diagnoses and syndrome are generally less embodied and collected in the modeling process.The primary symptoms in Chinese medicine diagnosis are primarily based on the observation of animal apparent behaviors,while the observation of the sub-syndrome manifestations is relatively less,which results in failure of judgment of TCM syndrome types.Therefore,it is still necessary to further standardize the criteria for evaluating symptoms and the techniques for identifying disease-syndrome combination animal models.PI-IBS model with the syndrome-clinical characteristics in Chinese and western medicine has significant application value and prospects in the future.The multifactorial composite method of western medicine pathological injury+Chinese medicine etiological stimulation can establish a PI-IBS model with a higher degree of coincidence,which can provide theoretical support for the study of the pathogenesis of PI-IBS,the difference of syndrome,and the prevention and treatment with integrative Chinese and western medicine.It is crucial to guide the clinical diagnosis and treatment of PI-IBS.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical application value of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in the etiological diagnosis of patients initially diagnosed with idiopathic acute pancreatitis (IAP).Methods:Clinical data of 128 patients who underwent further EUS and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) after initial diagnosis of IAP at the Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University between January 2015 and February 2022 were collected and divided into a single-episode group (single-episode group, 51 cases) and a multiple-episode group (recurrent group, 77 cases) based on the number of AP episodes. The data and the diagnosis of the etiology of IAP in the two groups by EUS were analyzed and compared with the etiological diagnosis results of MRCP.Results:The differences on basic information such as gender, age, history of smoking, history of alcohol consumption, family history of pancreatic disease, history of cholecystectomy, abnormality of liver function, and severity of pancreatitis between the single-episode group and recurrent group of IAP patients were not statistically significant. The etiology was clarified in 79 (62%) IAP patients after EUS examination, of which 55 (43%) cases had biliary disease (gallstones, microlithiasis, biliary sludge) and 24 (19%) cases had pancreatic disease (chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic divisum, pancreatic interstitial or pancreatic ductal changes). The percentage of patients with biliary disease as the cause of IAP was significantly higher in the single-episode group than in the recurrent group (59% vs 32%), while the percentage of patients with pancreatic disease as the cause of IAP was higher in the recurrent group than in the single-episode group (25% vs 10%), with statistically significant differences ( P values=0.004 and 0.035, respectively). The performance of EUS in diagnosing the etiology of IAP was significantly higher than that of MRCP (62% vs 19%, P=0.032), where EUS was more accurate in detecting biliary microlithiasis or biliary sludge (43% vs 9%, P<0.01). EUS was also superior to MRCP in identifying subtle changes in chronic pancreatitis lesions (small pancreatic nodules, patchy hyperechogenicity, etc.) and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms(17% vs 7%, P<0.05), but was inferior to MRCP in identifying pancreatic divisum (2 cases vs 4 cases). Conclusions:In view of high diagnostic accuracy and safety of EUS in diagnosing biliary diseases, and based on the fact that most IAPs in China are due to biliary diseases, EUS based management strategy can be considered to be a reasonable approach for evaluation of IAP patients. The MRCP can be used as a supplement to the EUS to identify a controversial etiology.

To compare the differences between Hengshanhuangqi (HH) and Chuanhuangqi (CH) at molecular level, 1H NMR based plant metabolomics approach was used to reveal the chemical difference between HH and CH. Then, the contents of astragaloside IV and calycosin-7-O-beta-D-glucoside, the marker compounds specified in China Pharmacopoeia, were determined. In addition, the ITS2 fragments of HH and CH were sequenced. Twenty-three metabolites were identified in the 1H NMR spectrum, and the principal component analysis showed CH and HH could be separated clearly. HH contained more aspartic acid, GABA, citric acid, astragaloside IV and calycosin-7-O-beta-D-glucoside, while CH contained more threonine, alanine, acetic acid, choline, arginine, fructose and sucrose. And the astragaloside IV is almost undetectable in CH. In addition, the ITS2 fragment sequences of HH and CH were different at eight bases. Thus, the HH and CH showed significant differences chemically and genetically.
