ObjectiveThis paper aims to investigate and evaluate the staged efficacy and safety of the representative empirical prescription of the “Zhu Ke Jiao” theory, Qijia Rougan prescription, combined with entecavir in the treatment of hepatic fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B. MethodsA multicenter randomized controlled clinical study was conducted, and 101 patients diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B-related hepatic fibrosis (CHB-HF) who met the diagnosis and inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to an observation group (Qijia Rougan prescription + entecavir) and a control group (entecavir). The treatment duration was 24 weeks. Liver stiffness measurement (LSM), fibrosis-4 index (FIB-4), portal vein diameter, hepatitis B serology, biochemical indicators, hepatic fibrosis markers in serum [hyaluronic acid (HA), laminin (LN), procollagen Ⅲ peptide (PⅢP), and type Ⅳ collagen (Ⅳ-C)], and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores were used as efficacy evaluation indicators. Efficacy assessments and explorations of different staged subgroups of Qijia Rougan prescription were conducted according to LSM values based on the Metavir pathological staging standard. ResultsA total of 98 cases were included for statistical analysis, with 49 cases in the observation group and 49 in the control group. The general data of the patients in both groups were comparable. Compared with the same group before treatment, the observation group showed a significant reduction in LSM and FIB-4 (P<0.01), as well as notable improvements in LN, Ⅳ-C, and various TCM syndrome scores (P<0.05, P<0.01). When compared to the control group after treatment, the observation group demonstrated significant improvements in LSM, FIB-4, and various TCM syndrome score indicators (P<0.05, P<0.01), indicating that the observation group performed better than the control group. Subgroup analysis of the regression of hepatic fibrosis stages showed that compared to the same group before treatment, the observation group had better improvement in regression of stages F2 and F3 (P<0.05). When compared to the control group after treatment, the observation group exhibited superior improvement in regression of stage F3 (P<0.05). No adverse events occurred in either group during the treatment period. ConclusionCompared with entecavir alone, the combination of Qijia Rougan prescription and entecavir significantly improves the degree of hepatic fibrosis and clinical TCM symptoms in patients. The optimal intervention period is primarily during stage F3, which is a potential “interception” point of the “Zhu Ke Jiao” theory.

ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effect of the frozen and fresh preparations of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSC) on a rat model of liver cirrhosis after transplantation via the portal vein or the caudal vein. MethodsA total of 70 specific pathogen-free healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal group (13 rats fed with ordinary tap water and rat food) and liver cirrhosis model group (57 rats given subcutaneous multi-point injection of mixed carbon tetrachloride/olive oil solution). At week 8, the growth of rats was observed for both groups, and 3 rats were selected from each group for histopathological examination to confirm the formation of liver cirrhosis. A total of 50 rats were selected from the liver cirrhosis model and were divided into model group, portal vein group+fresh cell preparation group, portal vein+frozen cell preparation group, caudal vein+fresh cell preparation group, and caudal vein+frozen cell preparation group using a random number table, with 10 rats in each group. Fresh or frozen hUC-MSC were transplanted via the portal vein or the caudal vein, and after 4 weeks of administration, the different groups were compared in terms of the changes in liver function parameters and liver fibrosis degree. Continuous data were expressed as mean±standard deviation, and the independent-samples t test was used for comparison between two groups; a one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups, and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsAt week 8 of modeling, the model group showed the formation of pseudolobules of different sizes in the liver and met the diagnostic criteria for liver cirrhosis, with significant increases in the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBil), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) compared with the normal group (all P<0.001), suggesting that the rat model of liver cirrhosis was established successfully. There were significant differences in the levels of ALT, AST, TBil, and ALP between the five groups (F=232.00, 177.10, 112.30, 121.70, all P<0.001). Further comparison between two groups showed that the model group had significantly higher levels of ALT, AST, TBil, and ALP than the normal group (all P<0.01), and the portal vein group+fresh cell preparation group, the portal vein+frozen cell preparation group, the caudal vein+fresh cell preparation group, and the caudal vein+frozen cell preparation group had significantly lower levels of ALT, AST, TBil, and ALP than the model group (all P<0.01). ConclusionThere are significant improvements in liver function and liver fibrosis degree in a rat model of liver cirrhosis at week 4 after the transplantation of hUC-MSC, and frozen or fresh cell preparation and different transplantation approaches have no significant influence on treatment outcome.

Objective The Study the difference of miRNA expression of AIDS patients with toxic heat accumulation syn -drome with healthy control group .Methods This research used Agilent miRNA chip to test the miRNA of blood preparation ,and used SAS system to screen the differences between groups ,then analyzed the significance function of target gene .Results Compare the heat-toxic accumulation group and the healthy control group ,100 cases of obvious expression difference and of which the differ-ence was 2 times and greater were screened out (in which 64 cases showed up-regulation and 36 showed down-regulation) .Differen-tially expressed miRNAs function involves the role of IL-21 receptor in T cell activation ,C reactive protein ,and the positive regula-tion of the immune response .Conclusion AIDS toxic heat accumulation syndrome patients and healthy control groups exist differ -ences in miRNA expression profiles ,the biological basis of syndrome maybe related to T cell activation and IL-21 receptor .

OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical efficacy of adenoidectomy in treating pediatric secretory otitis media,sinusitis and snoring. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical features,therapeutic methods and prognosis of 68 children in hospital who underwent adenoidectomy to treat secretory otitis media,sinusitis or snoring. RESULTS The conditions of the 68 children were marked improved after the removal of hypertrophic adenoids. The total clinical effectiveness rate was 100 % and the cure rate was 86.8 %. CONCLUSION Hypertrophic adenoids is a fundamental cause of pediatric secretory otitis media,sinusitis and snoring. The removal of hypertrophic adenoids is a safe and effective method for treating pediatric secretory otitis media,sinusitis and snoring.
