ObjectiveTo observe the preventative and therapeutical effect on bile pigment calculus of Jinqianduizuo Mixture which is a traditional Chinese medicine empirical formula and provide foundation for the therapy of cholelithiasis. MethodUsing the model of bile pigment calculus in guinea pigs. Observing the gall bladder’s shape,the rate of forming gallstone and the total bile. Then making biochemical determination of the bile and the blood serum. Result There are significant differences between model control group and three treated groups of Jinqianduizuo Mixture in the rate of forming gallstone,the bilious quantity,the contents of total bilirubin and total bile acids. While in the contents of direct bilirubin,total cholesterol,triglycerides and high-density lipoproteins,they have no significant difference. ConclusionThe results indicate that Jinqianduizuo Mixture can conspicuously cut down the gallstone’s incidence of guinea pigs and can obviously promote the bilious externalization in guinea pigs. It also can promote bile secretion distinctly,but have no evident effect on the ingredients of blood-lipid.

Person Centred Planning(PCP) is a life planning approach designed for individuals with disabilities to increase their self-determination ability and improve their independence,which contains some commonly used methods,such as Personal Futures Planning,MAPS,Essential Lifestyle Planning,Whole Life Planning and Planning Alternative Tomorrows with Hope(PATH).It pursues social inclusion and designed to enable people to choose their own supports and services,by reflecting of the individual's personal communication mechanisms and assisting them to outline their needs,wishes and goals,rather than attempting to fit with the existed service systems.However,in the process,some people often adopt the form of this planning approach without the philosophical content.The complete solution of this problem need the active cooperation of relevant agencies even the entire community.

Urinary excretion of prostaglandin E2. (PGE2) and thromboxane B2 (TXB2, a stable metabolite of TXA2), atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and arginine vasopressin (AVP) in plasma were determined with radioimmunoassay in 30 healthy normal controls (NC) and 53 cirrhotic patients without asoites (n = 18), with ascites (n = 25) and with hepatorenal syndrome (HRS, n=10). All of four vasoactive substances in the group of cirrhotic patients without ascites were significantly higher than that in NG (P

Objective To explore the epidemiological situation and characteristics of human brucellosis in Jiangsu Province from 2006 to 2017,and to provide scientific evidences for its prevention and control.Methods Using a retrospective study,data of brucellosis epidemic in Jiangsu Province from 2006 to 2017 were collected.The epidemic data of brucellosis and the population data were derived from China Disease Prevention and Control Information System,etiological data of brucellosis from 2011 to 2017 were derived from the surveillance report of brucellosis in Jiangsu Province.The overall incidence of brucellosis,pathogen research and regional,seasonal,and population distribution characteristics of cases were analyzed.Results A total of 607 prevalent cases of brucellosis were reported in Jiangsu Province from 2006 to 2017,with an average annual incidence rate of 0.065/100 000,including 595 incident cases.The number of reported case showed a sharp upward trend in 2011-2017,the incidence rates were in an increasing trend (t =5.623,P < 0.01).A total of 132 Brucella strains were isolated from serum samples in Jiangsu Province in 2011-2017,all of the strains were sheep breeds,of which sheep type 3 accounted for 84.85% (112/132).The top five cities with annual incidence of brucellosis from 2006 to 2017 were Xuzhou,Lianyungang,Suzhou,Huai'an and Suqian,with the incidence rates of 0.223/100 000,0.210/100 000,0.128/100 000,0.108/100 000 and 0.102/100 000,respectively.Brucellosis cases were distributed in each month,with the 540 cases (90.76%,540/595) from January to September.There were 446 males and 161 females in 607 cases of brucellosis,the sex ratio was 2.77:1.00.A total of 579 cases were reported in the age group of 20-74 years old,accounting for 95.39%.The occupational distribution was mainly peasants,which accounting for 60.13% (365/607).Conclusions The epidemic situation of human brucellosis in Jiangsu Province is becoming increasingly serious recently.Males and peasants are main incidence population.Thus,we should pay more attention to the livestock quarantine and the surveillance and control of brucellosis cases in high risk population so as to control the epidemic situation of brucellosis effectively.

Primary liver cancer is one of the most severe cancer burdens around the world. Metabolic reprogramming is one phenotype of cancer, and blood metabolic markers are closely associated with metabolic reprogramming and can predict the risk of recurrence and survival or assess the treatment response of liver cancer, with important significance in the stratified management of patients, the development of rational treatment strategies, and the improvement of patient prognosis. By reviewing the recent studies on blood metabolomics in assessing the treatment response or predicting the prognosis of liver cancer, this article summarizes the blood metabolites with predictive significance and their mechanism of action and analyzes the current research status, existing problems, and prospects of this field. It is believed that the metabolites, such as aromatic amino acids, lipids, and bile acids, have an important clinical value in predicting the prognosis of liver cancer, and metabolomics technology has great potential in finding useful metabolites, but there are still many issues to be solved, such as technical limitations, insufficient studies, and multiple influencing factors.

Objective:To explore the clinical and endoscopic features of patients with autoimmune gastritis (AIG) and to improve the accuracy of clinical diagnosis of AIG.Methods:From January 3, 2020 to November 25, 2021, the general information (gender, age), laboratory examination indicators and endoscopic findings of 179 AIG patients diagnosed at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. The laboratory examination indicators included hemoglobin, gastrin-17, pepsinogen (PG), anemia combination indicators (ferritin, vitamin B 12), thyroid function indicators (thyroid-stimulating hormone, thyroglobulin antibody and thyroid peroxidase antibody), Helicobacter pylori, and anti-parietal cell antibody and anti-intrinsic factor antibody. Descriptive methods were used for statistical analysis. Results:Among the 179 AIG patients, there were 42 males (23.5%) and 137 females (76.5%), with an average age of (55.23±12.04) years old. The gastrin-17 level of AIG patients was 195.31 ng/L (143.64 ng/L, 273.61 ng/L), PG Ⅰ level and PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ ratio were 12.40 μg/L (7.65 μg/L, 19.40 μg/L) and 1.03 (0.66, 1.52), respectively. There were 15.3% (18/118) of the AIG patients with iron deficiency anemia, and 16.1% (19/118) with megaloblastic anemia. The positive rate of anti-parietal cell antibody was 71.8% (51/71), and the positive rate of anti-intrinsic factor antibody was 25.4% (18/71). The serum thyroid-stimulating hormone level increased in 27.3% (15/55) of the patients, and the positive rates of thyroglobulin antibody and thyroid peroxidase antibody were 31.6% (12/38) and 47.4% (18/38), respectively. The positive rate of Helicobacter pylori was 29.7% (38/128). The endoscopic appearance of AIG indicated reverse atrophy, characterized by obvious atrophy in gastric fundus and gastric body mucosa, however the atrophy of gastric antrum was not obvious. Under endoscopy yellow-white turbid mucus, which was difficult to be washed, was found in 67.0% (120/179) of the patients, and under endoscopy the residual gastric fundus glands could be seen in 19.6% (35/179) of the patients. Among 179 AIG patients, 7 cases (3.9%) of neuroendocrine tumor (NET), 7 cases (3.9%) of early gastric adenocarcinoma (including 1 case of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma), 1 case (0.6%) of adenoma, and 14 cases (7.8%) of hyperplastic polyps were found. Except for the case of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma undergoing surgery, the others were treated with endoscopic resection. Conclusions:When unexplained iron deficiency anemia, megaloblastic anemia, or reverse atrophy is found, AIG should be considered. AIG patients are at high risk for gastric cancer and NET, and should be closely followed up, and active treatment should be given before anemia and neurological symptoms appear.
