Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of modified Guipi Decoction combined with omeprazole in the treatment of acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (ANVUGIB) with failure of the spleen to control blood vessels syndrome.Methods:Prospective cohort study. A total of 120 patients from January 2018 to December 2021 Taihe County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine with ANVUGIB of failure of the spleen to control blood vessels syndrome were selected, and the patients were divided into observation group and control group according to the random number table method, with 60 cases in each group. The control group was treated with a large dosage of proton pump inhibitor (omeprazole injection was injected intravenously first, and then omeprazole enteric coated tablets were taken); the observation group took Guipi Decoction on the basis of the control group, and both groups were treated for 7 days. TCM syndrome score, Hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (HCT) levels were measured by colorimetry before and after the treatment. BUN was detected by urease glutamate dehydrogenase method. Prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and fibrinogen (FIB) levels were detected by immunoturbidimetry. The adverse reactions during treatment were recorded and the clinical efficacy was evaluated.Results:Two patients in the observation group and two patients in the control group dropped out of the study. After treatment, the scores of main symptoms, secondary symptoms and total scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group ( t values were respectively 10.73, 4.45, 7.98, P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of HCT [(41.25 ± 5.03)% vs. (38.19 ± 5.26)%, t=2.95], Hb [(81.09 ± 5.23) g/L vs. (78.39 ± 5.37) g/L, t=2.74] in the observation group were higher than those in the control group ( P<0.01), and BUN [(4.38±0.96) mmol/L vs. (5.39 ± 1.13) mmol/L, t=5.19] was lower than that in the control group ( P<0.01); PT [(12.48 ± 0.67) s vs. (13.22 ± 0.73) s, t=5.69], APTT [(24.66 ± 2.29) s vs. (27.78 ± 2.04) s, t=7.75] were lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01), and FIB [(3.68 ± 0.62) g/L vs. (3.41 ± 0.74) g/L, t=2.13] level was higher than that in the control group ( P<0.05). The total effective rate of the observation group was 93.1% (54/58), and that of the control group was 79.3% (46/58), with statistical significance ( χ2=4.64, P=0.031). During the treatment, the incidence of adverse reactions in the control group was 3.4% (2/58), while that in the observation group was 1.7% (1/58), without statistical significance ( χ2=0.34, P=0.559). Conclusion:High-dosage omeprazole treatment with the addition of internal administration of Guipi Decoction can significantly improve coagulation function, correct the signs and symptoms associated with insufficient blood volume in the body circulation, improve hemostatic efficiency, and reduce the risk of bleeding in patients with ANVUGIB, without increasing the risk of patient safety with the drug.

Responses to sedatives, analgesics and muscle relaxants vary among patients under general anesthesia, which could be ascribed to the disparities of clinical characteristics and genetic factors of individuals. Accumulating researches have indicated that gene polymorphisms of the receptors, transporters and metabolizing enzymes associated with anesthetics play a considerable role in their efficacy. However, a systematically summarized study on the mechanisms of gene polymorphisms on pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of anesthetics is still lacking. In this paper, the recent researches on pharmacogenomics of sedatives, analgesics and muscle relaxants are comprehensively reviewed, and the contributions and mechanisms of polymorphisms to the differences of individual efficacy of these drugs are discussed, so as to provide guidance for the formulation of a rational anesthesia regimen for patients with various genotypes.

ObjectiveChronic heart failure (CHF) is the terminal stage of cardiovascular disease. The adverse cardiovascular events of CHF patients with weakness have increased significantly. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a good effect on CHF. However,there are few reports on the clinical observation of the treatment of CHF with weakness in elderly patients by TCM combined with conventional health-preserving exercises. This study aimed to explore the clinical efficacy of Qiangxin decoction combined with Baduanjin in the treatment of elderly patients with CHF and weakness. MethodSixty CHF patients with Qi deficiency,blood stasis,and water retention syndrome admitted to the Cardiovascular Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi University of Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to December 2021 were enrolled. The patients in the control group were treated with conventional western medicine according to the guidelines,while those in the treatment group received additional Qiangxin decoction and Baduanjin exercise based on the therapeutic protocol of the control group. The levels of serum N-terminal B-type brain natriuretic peptide precursor (NT-proBNP),creatine kinase (CK),lactate dehydrogenase (LDH),free fatty acid (FFA),left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LEVDD),6-minute walk distance (6MWD),Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ), and Tilburg Frailty Indicator (TFI) scores of the two groups were observed before and one month after treatment. At the same time,the re-admission within three months was compared between the two groups. ResultThere was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of the general data and the therapeutic indexes before treatment. After treatment,the NT-proBNP,CK,LDH,FFA,LVEDD,MLHFQ, and TFI scores of the two groups were lower than those before treatment(P<0.05,P<0.01), and the LVEF and 6MWD were higher(P<0.05,P<0.01). The efficacy of the treatment group was superior to that of the control group after treatment (P<0.05,P<0.01). The re-admission rate within three months in the treatment group was 7.1% (2/28), lower than 30.8% (8/26) in the control group (χ2=4.897,P<0.05). ConclusionQiangxin decoction combined with Baduanjin is helpful to improve the body energy metabolism,heart function,quality of life,and weakness level of elderly CHF patients with weakness, and reduce the rate of re-admission.

With the rapid development and adaptation of high-throughput sequencing in clinical settings, application of exome sequencing (ES) has been gradually expanded from pediatric to prenatal diagnosis in recent years. There is an urgent need to establish criteria for clinical grade ES in order to facilitate such a complex testing. The standardization of pre- and post-test consultation, quality control for sample processing process and validation of bioinformatics data analysis, and more importantly data interpretation and reporting, as well as appropriate reporting scope, is of great importance for health care stakeholders. To achieve this, a committee composed of a wide range of healthcare professionals has proposed an ES standard for prenatal diagnosis. This has provided expert opinion on the genetic counseling and reporting standards of prenatal ES for the purpose of applying ES technology in prenatal setting.

Objective To introduce the laparoscope_assisted modified Swenson transanal pull_through pro_cedure and analyze its clinical outcome for Hirschsprungˊs allied disease(HAD). Methods Thirty_six patients with HAD underwent this new procedure at the Pirst Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University during October 2009 to March 2016. During laparoscope exam,biopsies were taken from rectum,sigmoid and descending colon for rapid frozen pathological biopsy slices. Then the affected colons were dissected to the left hemicolon. Subsequently,a sponge forcep was inserted into anus and the colon was pulled through the right below the peritoneal reflection. In order to prevent re_traction and mark the resection line,sutures were performed circumferentially both at the proximal and distal bowel wall. Between the circles,a full_thickness,circumferential incision of rectum was made. The proximal bowel was mobi_lized out through the anus to the laparoscope part. The distal end was dissected anteriorly 2. 5_3. 0 cm above the den_tate line. The posterior rectal wall was split medium longitudinally and dissected to 0_0. 5 cm above the dentate line, so as to make a full _thickness "V" _shaped anastomosis. Results Dostoperative anal function scores:33 cases (91. 7%)were excellent,3 cases(8. 3%)were good,and no grades were scored. Compared with preoperative,the anal canal rest pressure[(12. 93 ± 3. 17)kDa,(11. 19 ± 6. 50)kDa vs.(22. 03 ± 6. 23)kDa],length of anal canal high pressure area[(25. 46 ± 5. 56)mm,(21. 61 ± 5. 10)mm vs.(35. 26 ± 5. 05)mm],and rectal resting pressure [(0. 79 ± 0. 29)kDa,(0. 64 ± 0. 23)kDa vs.(1. 22 ± 1. 02)kDa]decreased significantly after 6 month∕1 year follow_up,and the differences were significant(all P〈0. 05). The length of anal canal high pressure area was different be_tween 6 months and 1 year follow_up(P〈0. 05). However,the static pressure of the anal canal and the rectum did not differ significantly(all P〉0. 05). All the patients were diagnosed as HAD on the basis of intraoperative frozen lice ex_amination and postoperative pathologic examination. Thirty_six patients were followed up,and the reported complica_tions included soiling in 1 case(2. 8%),enterocolitis in 2 cases(5. 6%),without complications. During mean follow_up time(3. 3 years),none of the patients relapsed. Conclusions Laparoscope_assisted modified Swenson procedure for HAD is a minimally invasive approach with satisfactory results.

Objective To investigate the target blood pressure level of restrictive fluid resuscitation in patients with traumatic hemorrhagic shock. Methods Sixty patients with traumatic hemorrhagic shock admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from January 2016 to December 2018 were enrolled. All patients were resuscitated with sodium acetate ringer solution after admission. According to the difference of mean arterial pressure (MAP) target, the patients were divided into low MAP (60 mmHg ≤ MAP < 65 mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa), middle MAP (65 mmHg ≤ MAP < 70 mmHg) and high MAP (70 mmHg ≤ MAP < 75 mmHg) groups by random number table using the admission order with 20 patients in each group. Those who failed to reach the target MAP after 30-minute resuscitation were excluded and supplementary cases were deferred. The restrictive fluid resuscitation phase was divided into three phases: before fluid resuscitation, liquid resuscitation for 30 minutes and 60 minutes. The most suitable resuscitation blood pressure level was further speculated by monitoring the inflammatory markers and hemodynamics in different periods in each group of patients. Pearson correlation analysis was used to detect the correlation of variables. Results Before fluid resuscitation, there was no significant difference in hemodynamics or expressions of serum cytokines among the three groups. Three groups of patients were resuscitated for 30 minutes to achieve the target blood pressure level and maintain 30 minutes. With the prolongation of fluid resuscitation time, the central venous pressure (CVP), cardiac output (CO) and cardiac index (CI) were increased slowly in the three groups, and reached a steady state at about 30 minutes after resuscitation, especially in the high MAP group and the middle MAP group. The expressions of serum inflammatory factors in the three groups were gradually increased with the prolongation of fluid resuscitation time. Compared with the low MAP group and the high MAP group, after 30 minutes of resuscitation the middle MAP group was superior to the other two groups in inhibiting the expressions of pro-inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and promoting anti-inflammatory factors IL-10 [TNF-α mRNA (2-ΔΔCt):0.21±0.13 vs. 0.69±0.34, 0.57±0.35; IL-6 mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 0.35±0.31 vs. 0.72±0.39, 0.59±0.42; IL-10 mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 1.25±0.81 vs. 0.61±0.46, 0.82±0.53; all P < 0.05], but there was no significant difference in promoting the expression of IL-4 mRNA among three groups. At 60 minutes of resuscitation, compared with the low MAP group and the high MAP group, the middle MAP group could significantly inhibit the expressions of TNF-α, IL-6 and promote IL-10 [TNF-α mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 0.72±0.35 vs. 1.05±0.54, 1.03±0.49; IL-6 mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 0.57±0.50 vs. 1.27±0.72, 1.01±0.64; IL-10 mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 1.41±0.90 vs. 0.81±0.48, 0.94±0.61; all P < 0.05]. Compared with the high MAP group, the middle MAP group had significant differences in promoting the expression of IL-4 mRNA (2-ΔΔCt: 1.32±0.62 vs. 0.91±0.60, P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in serum cytokine expressions at different time points of resuscitation between the low MAP group and the high MAP group (all P > 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that there was a strong linear correlation between MAP and mRNA expressions of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10 in the middle MAP group (r value was 0.766, 0.719, 0.692, respectively, all P < 0.01), but had no correlation with IL-4 (r = 0.361, P = 0.059). Fitting linear regression analysis showed an increase in 1 mmHg per MAP, the expression of TNF-α mRNA increased by 0.027 [95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.023-0.031, P < 0.001], IL-6 mRNA increased by 0.021 (95%CI = 0.017-0.024, P < 0.001), and IL-10 mRNA increased by 0.049 (95%CI = 0.041-0.058, P < 0.001). Conclusions When patients with traumatic hemorrhagic shock received restrict fluid resuscitation at MAP of 65-70 mmHg, the effect of reducing systemic inflammatory response and improving hemodynamics is better than the target MAP at 60-65 mmHg or 70-75 mmHg. It is suggested that 65-70 mmHg may be an ideal target MAP level for restrictive fluid resuscitation.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the safety and efficacy of the perineal rectosigmoidectomy (Altemeier procedure) in the treatment of full thickness rectal prolapse.
METHODSClinical and follow-up data of 52 patients with full thickness rectal prolapse undergoing Altemeier procedure in 9 hospitals from September 2010 to July 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. Of which 38 cases were from Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, 1 case from Suizhou Central Hospital of Hubei province, 1 case from Jingzhou Second People's Hospital of Hubei province, 3 cases from Wuxue First People's Hospital of Hubei province, 1 case from Jingmen First People's Hospital of Hubei province, 1 case from Tuanfeng County Hospital of Hubei province, 4 cases from Jingzhou Central Hospital of Hubei province, 2 from PLA Rocket Army General Hospital, 1 case from the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University in Jiangsu province. Altemeier operation steps: The line shaped teeth, the prolapsed rectum is first exposed to the anus. In the dentate line proximal 1-3 cm with ultrasonic knife or Ligasure ring outer rectal incision, using electric knife to mark pre resection line in rectal mucosa. Open down in front of the pelvic peritoneum. Incision of the outer intestine and the reduction of the internal rectum and part of sigmoid colon. To free and remove excess pelvic retroperitoneal, pelvic peritoneum and be at the top of the colon or rectum anterior pelvic reconstruction suture. The rear of the levator ani muscle forming rectum. Pull gently to the anus and rectum and sigmoid, in the absence of tension, 2-3 cm outside the anus was selected as the proximal inner bowel pre resection line, along the line of pre transection of proximal bowel resection, again the broken end of intestine full-thickness end-to-end anastomosis. Postoperative complication and recurrence were summarized. Gastrointestinal quality of life index (GIQLI), Wexner constipation score and Wexner fecal incontinence score were used to evaluate the efficacy.
RESULTSAll the 52 patients were beyond moderate full thickness rectal prolapse. Thirty-one were male and 21 were female with age ranging from 22 to 83 (average 53) years. The length of prolapsed rectum was 6 to 20 (average 9) cm and course of disease was 0.5 to 46(average 19.5) years. No perioperative death. Five patients (9.6%) had postoperative complications, including 2 anastomotic bleeding, 1 wall portion dehiscence of anastomosis, 1 anastomotic stenosis, and 1 malnutrition. Recurrence rate was 9.6%(5/52) within the long-term follow-up of 5 to 71 (median 40) years. Compared with the preoperative results, Wexner constipation score and Wexner fecal incontinence score decreased obviously (2.1±1.4 vs. 4.6±3.4, 4.8±4.1 vs. 6.8±4.1), and GIQLI significantly increased from 99.6±8.0 to 103.0±9.1 (all P<0.05) at 6-month after operation. Above 3 scores were sustained and continuously improved at 12-, 24-, and 36-month during the follow-up (all P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONAltemeier procedure possesses good efficacy with low morbidity of complication and recurrence in the treatment of full thickness rectal prolapse.

Objective To investigate the levels of blood pressure, blood lipid, blood glucose, body mass index (BMI) as well as the epidemiological characteristics of dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, hypertension and metabolic syndrome of Hangzhou citizens. Methods A total of 28 990 citizens in Hangzhou city who underwent health checkup were recruited in this study, including 10 179 males and 18 811 females. The average age of subjects was 65.05 years. Subjects were asked to complete questionnaires regarding personal characteristics. The physical examination emphasized measurement of height, waist and blood pressure. Blood samples were collected and subjected to serum glucose, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C and TG measurements. The values of the examinations was described as xˉ± s . The ratios were compared with chi-square test. The trend analysis was conducted by linear correlation test. Results The prevalence of hypertension and metabolic syndrome was 17.1% and 11.2% respectively. And the prevalence of overweight/obesity and hyperglycemia was 36.3%,8.1%,16.4%respectively. It was indicated that the men had higher prevalence of hyperglycemia, hypertension, metabolic syndrome and overweight compared with women. However, as to the dyslipidemia, men and women were totally different. Women were more prone to suffer from hypercholesterolemia and elevation of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Men were apt to suffer from hypertriglyceridemia and reduction of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Divided the subjects by age into three groups, it was suggested that the rates of dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, hypertension and overweight/obesity increased along with the increment of age in women. Although the rates of metabolic disorders were higher in the group of men, the trend of increase with age was not as significant as in women. It could be seen in men that dyslipidemia and overweight/obesity were reduced with the increase of age. Conclusion The metabolic disorders in Hangzhou citizens showed their own characteristics. It is suggested that multiple strategies targeting at different sexes and age-groups should be formulated to prevent and control the occurrence of metabolic diseases.

OBJECTIVETo explore the influence of BCL6, MYC, P53 genes abnormalities can on the prognosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and to identify independent prognostic factors for DLBCL in order to facilitate clinical prognosis and selection of stratification treatment for the patients.
METHODSSixty five newly diagnosed DLBCL pathological specimens were collected from 2009 to 2012. Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization technique (I-FISH) was used to detect the status of BCL6, MYC and P53 genes. Clinical factors were combined with immunohistochemical results for multiple-factor survival analysis.
RESULTSThe rates of BCL6 gene rearrangement, P53 gene deletion and MYC rearrangement were 21.5% (14/65), 35.4% (23/65) and 7.7% (5/65), respectively. BCL6 rearrangement group has obviously poorer overall survival (OS)(P< 0.05). COX proportional hazards model analysis showed that gender, BCL6 protein, BCL6 rearrangement, Ki67 index were prognosis factors independent of international prognostic index (IPI).
CONCLUSIONBCL6 can influence the prognosis of patients with DLBCL at gene and protein levels and both are independent prognostic factors for DLBCL.
