1.Use of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire in Diagnosis of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
Chinese Journal of Gastroenterology 2015;(7):439-441
Gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD)is a commonly seen digestive disease. So far,there is no golden standard for the diagnosis of GERD. The main diagnosis methods used in clinical practice include gastroscopy,24 h esophageal pH monitoring and proton pump inhibitor test,however,these methods are either invasive or complex in procedure and with low diagnostic accuracy rate. Gastroesophageal reflux disease questionnaire(GerdQ)possesses multiple advantages such as simple,non-invasive and easily acceptable. This article reviewed the use of GerdQ in diagnosis of GERD.

Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2016;23(5):780-782
Objective Leucine -rich repeat (LRR) -containing G protein -coupled receptor 6 (Lgr6) is glycoprotein hormone receptor and a part of G protein -coupled receptors (GPCRs).Lgr6 is composed of 977 amino acid residues of a polypeptide chain.Having 17 leucine -rich repeats and seven transmembrane domain.In the N -and C -termini are connected with cysteine -rich sequences.It is highest homologous to Lgr4 and Lgr5,but less relationship with thyroid stimulating hormone receptor,progesterone receptor,and follicle -stimulating hormone recep-tor.Research found out that Lgr6 marks in the hair follicles of stem cells can differentiate into all cells in the skin and Lgr6 expression in tumor also has important biological significance.

Objective To detect the levels of plasma gelsolin(GSN),vitamin D binding protein(VDBP)and coagulation?related parameters in peripheral blood between pre?eclampsia,then analyze their relationships with the onset or development of pre?eclampsia. Methods A total of 30 women with severe pre?eclampsia(SPE)and 30 women with mild pre?eclampsia(MPE)were enrolled for the study and randomly chosen as trial group. 30 normal pregnancies with matching gestational ages were selected as control group?1 and 30 normal full?term pregnancies were randomly chosen as control group?2. The levels of GSN,VDBP,platelet(PLT),prothrombin time(PT),thrombin time(TT),activated partial thromboplas?tin time(APTT),fibrinogen(FIB),and D?dimer were compared between those groups. Results The levels of GSN,VDBP and PLT,PT,APTT, FIB in SPE group were significantly lower than that of MPE group(P<0.05),and the level of D?dimer was significantly higher(P<0.05). In healthy pregnant women between control group?1 and control group?2,GSN fell during gestational weeks,with a concomitant rise in VDBP with no significance(P>0.05). There were no statistical difference among all the levels of coagulation?related parameters in healthy pregnant women(P>0.05). Conclusion GSN and VDBP levels in pre?eclampsia are significantly lower than that of normal pregnant women,along with pathological hy?percoagulative state,and which are related to severity of disease.

Objective A new type adsorbent for removal of bacterial ET was prepared by immobilizing L-serine covalently onto polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (PVDF-Ser) to study the effect of hemoperfusion on sepsis induced lung injuries in a pig model. Method Endotoxemia were induced in thirteen pigs by injecting endotoxin (1 μg/(kg·h) ) intravenously for 2 h. One hour later, the pigs were treated with absorber of PVDF-Ser volumn (group hemoperfusion) or empty adsorber (group control) for 2 h. Extravascular lung water indexed to body weight and alveolar capillary permeability, levels of serum endotoxin, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, malondialdehyde, glutathione, myeloperoxidase activity, and lung histological changes and myeloperoxidase immunohistochemical analysis were measured. Results Hemoperfusion treatment with PVDF-Ser volumn significantly improved extravascular lung water, pulmonary alveolar capillary permeability and lung injuries ( P < 0. 05). In addition, hemoperfusion attenuated both serum and pulmonary cytokines, and decreased lung malondialdehyde and myeloperoxidase levels ( P < 0. 05). Conclusions Hemoperfusion with the adsorber of PVDF-Ser volumn effectively reduced inflammatory responses and improved lung injuries and oxidative stress in endotoxemia. It has a high potential of clinical application for treatment of patients with severe sepsis.

Objective To investigate the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ(PPAR-γ) and angiotensin receptor (AT2R) in chronic pancreatitis tissue. Methods Between April 2006 and February 2009, 24 patients were pathologically diagnosed as chronic pancreatitis were enrolled and 12 samples of normal pancreatic tissues were treated as controls. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect PPAR-γ and AT1R, AT2R expression in pancreatic tissues. Results PPAR-γ and AT1R were mostly negatively expressed in normal pancreatic tissues, the positive scores were 0.33±0.49 and 0.42 ± 0. 51, respectively, while AT2R were weakly positively or negatively expressed in acinus and islet cell, and it was weakly positively expressed in ductal epithelial cells, the positive score was 2. 33 ± 1. 37. In chronic pancreatitis tissue, PPAR-γ, AT1R and AT2R were positively expressed in acinus, ductal epithelial cells, and islet cell, the positive scores were 3.28 ± 2.46, 4.36 ± 2.80 and 4.61 ± 2.89, which were significantly higher than those in the normal group (P<0.01, P <0.01, P<0.05). Conclusions PPAR-γ, AT1R and AT2R were positively expressed in chronic pancreatitis tissue, and they may be the treatment target of chronic pancreatitis.
