Gastrointestinal microbiota is a huge and complex system that has multiple influential factors. As an exogenous pathogen,Helicobacter pylori(Hp)may interact with gastrointestinal microbiota. It has been revealed that Hp infection led to an increase in Lactobacillus acidophilus in intestinal tract and a decrease in Actinobacteria,Bacteroidetes and Firmacutes in stomach. Proton pump inhibitors and antibiotics,the major components of eradication regimens for Hp infection,may also have an impact on gastrointestinal microbiota. On the other hand,gastrointestinal microbiota interferes with Hp’s attachment into gastric mucosa. Probiotics combined with eradication therapy could benefit the eradication rate of Hp infection and reduce adverse events.

Trauma is one of the main reasons for the death and disability in children.Ultrasonic tech-nology has been applied in the early assessment and diagnosis of trauma.it is quick,effective,non-invasive, fast imaging,mobile and suitable for different patients and different parts of the body.It has been used to as-sess the organs in patients with severe trauma widely.

Objective To investigate serum levels of β-human chorionic gonadotrophin (β-HCG) and progesterone (P) in early pregnant women,and their relation to luteal maintenance therapy for early pregnancy protection.Methods One hundred and thirty five infertility women treated in Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital from January 2007 to December 2011.Total 150pregnancy cycles,including 84 with intrauterine insemination (IUI) and 66 with natural conception,were divided into two groups:normal intrauterine pregnancy group (group A,n =80) and early pregnancy loss group (group B,n =70).Medical history,ultrasonic findings,serum female hormone,P and β-HCG levels at early pregnancy stage were analyzed.Results The age of group A and group B was (30.0 ± 3.9) years and(30.7 ± 4.9) years,respectively (P ＞ 0.05).The follicle-stimulating hormone/luteinizing hormone in group A and group B was 1.57 ±0.96 and 1.56 ± 1.08 ; the estradiol levels in two groups were (152 ±66) pmol/L and (147 ± 69) pmol/L,respectively (both P ＞ 0.05).There were no differences in dominant follicles and endometrial thickness between groups A and B (P ＞ 0.05).Ovulation promotion and luteal support treatments were adopted in both groups:50％ (40/80) of cycles in group A received ovulation promotion,73％ (58/80) of cycles received luteal support,while 44％ (31/70) and 76％ (53/70) received in groups B,respectively.The levels of serum progesterone in group A during 14-21 d,22-27 d and ≥ 28 d after ovulation were higher than those in group B at each time points (P ＜ 0.0l).There were no significant differences in serum progesterone levels between women with luteal support treatment and those without luteal support treatment in both groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Dynamic monitoring of serum progesterone level in early pregnancy may be used as an auxiliary index for prediction of pregnancy outcome,but it may not be an indicator for luteal maintenance therapy.

Objective To study the expression of Sox2 in human prostate cancer and pericarcinomatous tissue,and the relation between its expression and the pathological type and clinical stage of prostate cancer.Methods Immunohistochemisty,Western blot and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)were used to detect the expression of Sox2 in 86 cases of prostate cancer tissues and 40 cases of pericarcinomatous tissues.The relation between Sox2 expression and the pathological type and clinical stage of prostate cancer was analyzed.Results The expression of Sox2 in prostate cancer tissue (71.9％) was significantly higher than that in pericarcinomatous tissue (7.5％),and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =53.98,P ＜ 0.05).Sox2 expression in prostate cancer tissues was significantly related to Gleason score (x2 =19.49,P ＜ 0.05).The positive rate of Sox2 in lymphatic metastasis group and negative lymphatic metastasis group was 92.3％ and 73.3％ respectively,and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =3.95,P ＜ 0.05).While there was no significant difference among clinical stages (x2 =0.16,P ＞ 0.05).Moreover,Western blot and RT-PCR revealed that the expression of Sox2 in prostate cancer tissue was significantly higher than that in pericarcinomatous tissue (t =-2.93,P ＜ 0.05 ; t =3.29,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The high expression of Sox2 is closely related to the Gleason score and lymphatic metastasis of prostate cancer,but not to the clinical stage.The overexpression of Sox2 may play an important role in formation,differentiation and metastasis of prostate cancer.

Purpose:To detect the expression of a novel i nh ibitor gene of apoptosis,survivin,in gastric cancer and in gastric carcinoma MGC -803 cell line,also to analyze its correlation with the expression of COX-2. Methods:In 93 stomach carcinoma tissues and 20 normal gastric tissues , the expression o f survivin and COX-2 were examined by using the streptavidin-biotin peroxidase (SP) method. Results:In contrast to negative expression in normal gastric mucosa,survivin was express ed in 66 of 93(71%) cases of gastric cancer samples,Overexpression of survivin i n gastric carcinoma MGC-803 cell line was also found,There was a relationship b etween survivin gene expression and degrees of differentiation,lymph node metast ases and TNM stages.The expression of survivin was positively correlated with th at of COX-2(liner index of Pearson=0.227 P

Purpose:To investigate the roles of artesunate on the proliferation and apoptosis of gastric carcinoma cells,also to explore it s possible mechanism of anticancer effects. Methods:The inhibition on the proliferation of cultured stomach carcinoma cell line(MGC-803) was observed by using MTT analysis.and apo ptosis was assessed by flow cytometry together with transmission electron micros copy.Using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction,the expression of sur vivin mRNA was evaluated before and after action of artesunate on malignant cell s. Results:The proliferation of MGC-803 was inhibited notably by artesunate with a dosage-dependant character(P

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy of herbal desensitizer in the treatment of dentine hypersensitivity. METHODS: 126 patients with dentine hypersensitivity were enrolled: 64(a total of 172 diseased teeth) were randomly assigned to trial group to be treated with herbal desensitizer,and 62(158 diseased teeth) to control group to be treated with sodium fluoride glycerin. The clinical effects observation was scheduled immediately,3 and 6 months after the treatment. Then the results were analyzed using statistics software.RESULTS: Significant differences were found between the trial group and the control group in clinical effects (P

Objectives:To evaluate the clinical significance of different early nutrition support in severe head injured patients. Methods:140 cases(GCS≤8) were randomly divided into 5 groups.From A to E,each one had 28 cases.The patients in group A received early parenteral nutrition(PN) and enteral nutritoin(EN) together;group B received early PN,and EN after 1 week later;group C received PN only for more than 2 weeks;group D received early EN only;group E received traditional delayed EN.The clinical observation and statistical comparison were taken. Results:Severe head injured patients could get nutrition from different ways at early stage.A and B groups had better outcomes,and the blood glucose and nutritional data were superior to those of D,E group( P

Objectives: To explore the infulence of early enteral nutrition on nutritional and immunal status and complications for elderly patients with gastric neoplasm. Methods: 84 cases of gastric neoplasm were randomly divided into TPN group( n =42),an EN group ( n =42).Equal calorie and nitrogen were given from the frist day after operation. Nutritional and immune markers were examined before and after nutrition support. The complication and gastrointestinal function were carefully observed . Results: Nutritional markers and immune markers were significantly increased after nutritional support both in TPN and EN group ( P 0.05). EN can promote resumption of gastrointestinal function,decrease complications and reduce the medical cost. Conclusions: Early post operative enteral nutrition for elderly patients with gastric neoplasm is a safe,effective,economic nutritional treatment.
