Objective To study the association between clinical symptoms,psychosomatic factors and autonomic nervous function in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).Methods Thirty-four patients with GERD diagnosed by reflux disease questionnaire (RDQ) and endoscopy and 15 healthy control subjects were enrolled in this study.All the subjects were divided into two groups,one with normal scores of Zung's self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and Zung's depression scale (SDS) as GERD (-) and the other with abnormal scores of SAS and SDS as GERD (+).Reflux symptom score was recorded for both groups at the same time.Autonomic nervous function was assessed by their heart rate variability (HRV) on dynamic electrocardiogram (DCG).The time domain parameters analyzed included standard deviation (SD) of average R-R interval during 24 hours (SDNN),SD of average 5-minute sinus heart rate (SDANN),mean square root of the difference of adjoining two R-R interval (rMSSD),and proportion of the heart beats with difference of R-R interval more than 50 ms from the total heart beats (PNN 50),and the frequency domain parameters analyzed included low-frequency (LF),high-frequency (HF) and ratio of LF to HF.Results Average scores of SAS and SDS were significantly higher in patients with GERD than those in healthy controls (48?9 vs 38?6 and 48?11 vs 41?6,respectively,P

OBJECTIVETo compare the difference of the clinical efficacy on common peroneal palsy between the comprehensive therapy of electroacupuncture, moxibustion and moving cupping method and western medication.

METHODSNinety cases of common peroneal nerve palsy were randomized into a comprehensive therapy group and a western medication group, 45 cases in each one. In the comprehensive therapy group, electroacupuncture was applied to Yanglingquan (GB 34), Zusanli (ST 36), Xuanzhong (GB 39), Jiexi (ST 41), Taichong (LR 3), Zulinqi (GB 41) and the others, combined with warm moxibustion and moving cupping on the lateral side of the affected leg. The comprehensive therapy was used once a day. In the western medication group, vitamin B1 , 10 mg each time, 3 times a day; and mecobalamine, 0. 5 mg each time, three times a day were prescribed for oral administration. In the two groups, 15 days made one session, and the efficacy was observed after 2 sessions treatment.

RESULTSThe total effective rate of the improvement of sensory function and motor nerve function was 97. 8% (44/45) in the comprehensive therapy group and was 82. 2% (37/ 45) in the western medication. The efficacy in the comprehensive therapy group was better than that of the western medication (P<0. 01). The electrophysiological examination showed that the amplitude of motor conduction of deep peroneal nerve and that of sensory conduction of surficial peroneal nerve after treatment were improved remarkably as compared with those before treatment in the comprehensive therapy group (both P<0. 05). The amplitude of motor conduction of deep peroneal nerve was improved significantly in the comprehensive therapy group as compared with that in the western medication group (P<0. 05).

CONCLUSIONThe comprehensive therapy of electroacupuncture, moxibustion and moving cupping method achieves the significant efficacy on common peroneal nerve palsy as compared with western medication.

Objective To explore the association of COX-2 Gly587Arg polymorphism with the risk of primary liver cancer.Methods Two hundred and seventy patients with primary liver cancer and 540 health people were selected as our subjects.DNA were extracted from peripheral blood lymphocytes,and genotypes were measured by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method.Odds ratios(OR) and 95％ confidence intervals(CI) were estimated by logistic regression.Results Two kinds of genotype (587Gly/ Gly and Gly/Arg) were found in all participants.No one carried 587Arg/Arg genotype.Among primary liver cancer patients,91.5％ (247/270,) 8.5％ (23/270) of individuals carried 587Gly/Arg and Gly/Arg genotype,which was significantly higher than that of controls (96.5％ (521/540,) 3.5％ (19/540)).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that individual carried 587Gly/Arg genotype had an increased risk of developing primary liver cancer (OR =2.56,95％ CI =1.37-4.79,P =0.003) compared with 587Gly/Gly carriers.Conclusion COX-2 Gly587Arg polymorphism is a risk factor for primary liver cancer in Han.

A sandwich format immunochromatographic assay for detecting foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) serotypes was developed. In this rapid test, affinity purified polyclonal antibodies from Guinea pigs which were immunized with sucking-mouse adapted FMD virus (A/AV88(L) strain) were conjugated to colloidal gold beads and used as the capture antibody, and affinity purified polyclonal antibodies from rabbits which were immunized with cell-culture adapted FMD virus (A/CHA/09 strain) were used as detector antibody. On the nitrocellulose membrane of the immunochromatographic strip, the capture antibody was laid on a sample pad, the detector antibody was printed at the test line(T) and goat anti-guinea pigs IgG antibodies were immobilized to the control line(C). The lower detection limit of the test for a FMDV 146S antigen is 11.7ng/ml as determined in serial tests after the strip device was assembled and the assay condition optimization. No cross reactions were found with FMDV serotype C, Swine vesicular disease (SVD), Vesicular stomatiti svirus (VSV) and vesicular exanthema of swine virus (VES) viral antigens with this rapid test. Clinically, the diagnostic sensitivity of this test for FMDV serotypes A was 88.7% which is as same as an indirect-sandwich ELISA. The specificity of this strip test was 98.2% and is comparable to the 98.7% obtained with indirect-sandwich ELISA. This rapid strip test is simple, easy and fast for clinical testing on field sites;no special instruments and skills are required, and the result can be obtained within 15 min. To our knowledge, this is the first rapid immunochromatogarpic assay for serotype A of FMDV.

A strain NK13 was screened for a certain extent asymmetric hydrolyze the rac-ketoprofen chloroethyl ester and identified as Bacillus megaterium. For the preparation of gene libraries, a positive clones was obtained from the tributyrin flat. The sequence of this esterase gene had been analysised, and contained the whole ORF of an esterase gene with the length of 933bp. The esterase gene of NK13 was compared with the esterase genes of GenBank and the result showed that the esterase gene of NK13 was a novel gene(GenBank accession nember DQ196347).The new esterase gene was inserted into the plasmid pET21b+, then the recombinant plasmid transformed E.coli BL21. After being induced by IPTG, it was expressed in the host strain. SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the relative molecular mass of the esterase was about 34kDa. The result of TLC and HPLC showed that the recombinant strain had higher conversion ration than templet strain. 47.4%of the rac-ketoprofen Chloroethl ester was hydrolyzed to ketoprofen by the recombinant strain in 45min. The (S)- ketoprofen enantiomeric excess, in the later,was 55.46%, which indicated that the esterase could hydrolyze (S)-ketoprofen chloroethyl ester firstly.
