Primary intrahepatic stones (PIS) is a refractory disease with a high incidence rate in southwest China, and some patients still require surgery again or even more times after initial treatment. Many studies in recent years have shown that some specific flora can colonize in the intrahepatic bile duct, leading to chronic infection and inflammation of the biliary system, and these specific types of flora, called "stone-causing flora", can produce metabolites such as β-glucuronidase and play an important role in the formation of pigmented stones. This article analyzes the role of stone-causing flora in the pathogenesis of PIS, so as to provide more treatment options for PIS patients.

Vitamins are classified as either fat-soluble (vitamins A, D, E, K) or water-soluble (vitamins B and vitamin C). Traditional methods of immunoassay have only been developed for vitamins D,B6, B9 and B12. However, they cannot distinguish between vitamin subtypes such as D2, D3 and associated epi isomers (which has higher leveks in infants),giving false positive or negative results. Mass spectrometry has become a gold standard method for small molecule analysis in biological samples with its advantages in speed,resolution,sensitivity and specificity. It is widely used in clinical research and diagnosis and provides an efficient method for simultaneous detection of multivitamins in one injection using one low volume sample collection.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of repaglinide combined with metformin versus glimepiride combined with metformin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM),and to provide evidence-based reference for the clinic. METHODS:Retrieved from CJFD, VIP, Wanfang database, PubMed, Embase, Medline and Cochrane Library, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about therapeutic efficacy (HbA1c, FPG, 2 hPG) and safety (the incidence of ADR,hypoglycemia and gastrointestinal reaction)of repaglinide combined with metformin(trial group)versus glimepiride combined with metformin(control group)in the treatment of T2DM were collected. Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.2 statistical software after data extraction and quality evaluation with Cochrane systematic evaluation manual. RESULTS:A total of 12 RCTs were included,involving 957 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed that the decrease of 2 hPG in trial group was significantly better than control group,with statistical significance [MD=-0.70,95%CI(-1.02,-0.38),P<0.001]. There was no statistical significance in the decrease of HbA1c [MD=0.00,95%CI(-0.24,0.25),P=0.98] or FPG [MD=0.10,95%CI(-0.17,0.36),P=0.47],the incidence of ADR [OR=0.54,95%CI(0.28,1.06),P=0.07],hypoglycemia [OR=0.52,95%CI(0.13,2.06),P=0.35] or gastrointestinal reactions [OR=0.60,95%CI(0.15,2.41),P=0.47] between 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Repaglinide combined with metformin is better than glimepiride combined with metformin in reducing 2 hPG,but both of them have similar safety.

OBJECTIVE To analyze disease-related clinical features and therapeutic effects of basal cell adenoma in head and neck. METHODS Clinical data of 9 patients with pathologically diagnosed basal cell adenoma in head and neck between Mar 2007 and Jan 2016 in our department were analyzed retrospectively. The ratio of male 3 to female 6 was 1:2. The median age of the patients was 48.9 years old(22 to 65 years). 5 cases affected parotid gland, 1 occurred in left maxillary sinus and infratemporal fossa, 1 involved nasopharyngeal and pterygopalatine fossa, 1 originated from nasal vestibule and 1 derived from nasal septum. RESULTS 8 of the patients underwent surgical treatment, while one patient with tumor involving the left maxillary sinus and infratemporal fossa was given a transnasal surgery for concurrent rhinosinusitis and subsequently confirmed by pathology. The postoperative follow-up period was between 1 and 10 years. One patient with tumor affecting infratemporal fossa recurred 1.5 years after surgery, while the rest shown no signs of recurrence and complication. CONCLUSION Basal cell adenoma in head and neck is a rare kind of disease. Clinical features and imaging helped to differenced basal cell adenoma in head and neck from other diagnoses, but definite diagnosis relies on the pathological tests.Surgery may provide good effects and prognosis on patients with basal cell adenoma.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of palonosetron in preventing chemotherapy-induced vomiting. Meth-ods:A multi-center, randomized, double-blind, and self-cross-over positively controlled clinical trial design was used. All patients were randomized into two groups, as follows:Regiment A (61 cases) and Regiment B (64 cases). Regimen A with palonosetron hydrochlo-ride injection (test agent) was used in the treatment cycle A, whereas granisetron hydrochloride injection (control drug) was used in the cycle B. Treatments were randomly administered on the patients of the two groups. Regimen B was on the contrary, the control drug was used in the cycle A, and the test agent was used in the treatment cycle B. All patients treated with the test agent were classified as the test group, whereas those treated with the control drug were classified as the control group. Complete control rate and adverse reac-tion of acute and delayed vomiting in the two groups during the two cycles of chemotherapy regimen were compared. Results: In Group One, the complete control rate of delayed vomiting was significantly higher in the palonosetron administration cycles than in the granisetron cycles (76.92%vs. 55.38%, P=0.0110). In the same group, the frequency of vomiting was significantly less in palonosetron cycles than in the granisetron cycles during day 1 to day 5 (1.32±3.42 vs. 1.94±3.03, P=0.0096). The incidences of adverse effects were low in both groups. No grades 3 and 4 adverse effects were observed. Conclusion: Palonosetron showed efficacy in preventing the acute and delayed chemotherapy-induced vomiting. The drug is superior to granisetron, specifically in delaying vomiting in Group One. Palonosetron hydrochloride showed slight adverse effects. Hence, this drug can be used in clinic.

This study is to screen 23 blank O/W type microemulsion (ME) samples, that is 15 samples from our laboratory, and 8 samples from literature; compare the conductivity-water content curve (CWCC) method and visual method in determining the critical water content during O/W type MEs' formation, to analyze the deficiency and the feasibility of visual method and to exploxe scientific meanings of CWCC method in judging the critical water content of O/W type MEs during formation. The results show that there is a significant difference between the theoretical feasible CWCC method and visual method in determining the critical water content (P<0.001), and the results judged by conductivity is higher than that by eye-based water content. Therefore, this article firmly confirmed the shortcomings of visual method and suggested that the eye-base "critical water content" may falls into continuous ME stage during O/W MEs' formation. Further more, the CWCC method has theoretical feasibility and scientific meanings in determining the critical water content of O/W type MEs during formation.

Objective To explore the the analytical method for the quality difference of Radix Salviae Mihiorrhizae (RSM) injection. Methods Parallel intercomparison experiment was carried out in different batches of RSM injection samples which had different degrees of adverse drug reaction. The samples were analyzed by gel size exclusion chromatog-zraphy and C18 HPLC fingerprint. Subtractive analysis was used to reveal the information of the non-low molecular weight phenolic acids. Results There were obvious differences between the results of size exclusion chromatography. The amount of the non-low molecular weight phenolic acids from different batches of the samples was also different, which was correlated with the degrees of acute toxicity in guinea pigs. Conclusion The amount of the non-low molecular weight phenolic acids varies with different batches of Radix Salviae Mihiorrhizae injection. It is suggested that non-low molecular weight phenolic acids can be used for the quality control of Radix Salviae Mihiorrhizae injection. For the first time, the perspective that the corresponding relationship between the fingerprint and their toxicities of Traditional Chinese medicine injection may be one of the most important fields is put forward.
