Objective:To evaluate the methodological quality and reporting quality of clinical practice guidelines or consensuses in the field of Chinese pancreatic diseases from 2016 to 2021, and provide reference for formulating clinical practice guidelines and consensuses in this field.Methods:VIP, Wanfang , CNKI and CBM databases were searched for articles published from January 2016 to March 2021. The main index terms were " pancreas" , " guideline" , " consensus" , and the supplementary index terms were " pancreatitis" , " pancreatic cancer" , " pancreatic head cancer" . Two researchers independently selected the literature. The appraisal of guidelines for research and evaluation (AGREE-China) was utilized to assess the methodological quality of the guidelines or consensuses, and the reporting items for practice guidelines in healthcare (RIGHT) tool was used to assess the reporting quality.Results:A total of 14 literature were included, including 7 literature on pancreatic cancer, 3 literature on acute pancreatitis, 1 literature on chronic pancreatitis and 3 literature on others. The results of the assessment by the AGREE-China tool showed that there were no document with a total score greater than or equal to 60.0 points, two with 40.0 to 59.9 points, eleven with 20.0 to 39.9 points, and one with less than 20.0 points. Among the results of RIGHT list, basic information was reported the highest(72.62%) and funding and declaration was the lowest(0).Conclusions:The methodological and reporting quality of the guidelines or consensuses on pancreatic disease in China from 2016 to 2021 are generally not high. In the process of developing domestic guidelines or consensuses on pancreatic diseases, the guideline developer should refer to AGREE-China and RIGHT to improve the quality of clinical practice guidelines or consensuses.

Objective To investigate the changes of serum C reactive protein (CRP),D-two polymer (D-D) and calcitonin (PCT) in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD) and its clinical value. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted in 146 patients with severe COPD at acute attack in Tongji Huangzhou Hospital of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from December 2015 to December 2017.In addition,146 cases of COPD at remission stage (remission group) and 80 healthy subjects (control group) who were admitted to the hospital during the same period were selected.The serum levels of D -D,hs-CRP and PCT were compared among the three groups.At the same time,the levels of serum D-D,hs-CRP and PCT in patients with no bacterial infection or different pulmonary function classification were compared .Results The serum levels of D-D, hs-CRP and PCT in the acute group [(1 927.4 ±83.4) μg/L,(39.3 ±3.2) mg/L,(5.8 ±1.7) ng/mL] were significantly higher than those in the remission group [(314.2 ±69.2)μg/L,(16.4 ±3.4)mg/L,(1.8 ±0.7)ng/mL], which in the remission group were also significantly higher than the control group [(231.7 ±58.5) μg/L,(3.8 ± 1.5)mg/L,(0.4 ±0.1)ng/mL],the differences were statistically significant (F＝35.487,11.266,6.752,P＝ 0.001,0.005,0.000).The serum levels of hs -CRP and PCT in the acute phase combined with bacterial infection group[(41.4 ±1.7) mg/L,(6.4 ±1.4) ng/mL] were higher than those in the non bacterial infection group [(36.3 ±1.2)mg/L,(5.0 ±1.0)ng/mL](F＝16.541,4.467,P＝0.000,0.011),but there was no statistically significant difference in D -D level ( P ＞0.05).There were statistically significant differences in serum D -D, hs-CRP and PCT levels among patients with different pulmonary function classification [serum D-D:(2 083.5 ± 88.3)μg/L vs.(1 727.3 ±71.3)μg/L vs.(1 523.5 ±67.3)μg/L;hs-CRP:(63.8 ±19.5)mg/L vs.(29.5 ± 10.4)mg/L vs.(10.6 ±3.2) mg/L;PCT:(6.2 ±1.3) ng/mL vs.(3.4 ±0.9) ng/mL vs.(1.3 ±0.4) ng/mL] (F＝34.493,15.488,6.567,P＝0.000,0.001,0.018),and the higher the pulmonary function classification ,the higher the above indicators(all P＜0.05).Conclusion The levels of serum CRP,D-D and PCT in patients with severe COPD at acute attack are significantly increased ,and the increase of the patients with bacterial infection is more obvious,and the index level is positively correlated with the classification of lung function ,which can provide a reference for clinical practice.

The main constituents of a typical medicinal herb,Polygonum muMflorum (Heshouwu in Chinese),that induces idiosyncratic liver injury remain unclear.Our previous work has shown that cotreatment with a nontoxic dose of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and therapeutic dose of Heshouwu can induce liver injury in rats,whereas the solo treatment cannot induce observable injury.In the present work,using the constituent "knock-out" and "knock-in" strategy,we found that the ethyl acetate (EA) extract of Heshouwu displayed comparable idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity to the whole extract in LPS-treated rats.Results indicated a significant elevation of plasma alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase,and liver histologic changes,whereas other separated fractions failed to induce liver injury.The mixture of EA extract with other separated fractions induced comparable idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity to the whole extract in LPS-treated rats.Chemical analysis further revealed that 2,3,5,4'-tetrahydroxy trans-stilbene-2-O-β-glucoside (trans-SG) and its cis-isomer were the two major compounds in EA extract.Furthermore,the isolated cis-,and not its trans-isomer,displayed comparable idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity to EA extract in LPS-treated rats.Higher contents of cis-SG were detected in Heshouwu liquor or preparations from actual liver intoxication patients associated with Heshouwu compared with general collected samples.In addition,plasma metabolomics analysis showed that cis-SG-disturbing enriched pathways remarkably differed from trans-SG ones in LPS-treated rats.All these results suggested that cis-SG was closely associated with the idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity of Heshouwu.Considering that the cis-trans isomerization of transSG was mediated by ultraviolet light or sunlight,our findings serve as reference for controlling photoisomerization in drug discovery and for the clinical use of Heshouwu and stilbene-related medications.

Objective:To compare the amino acid sequences difference of HA,NA novel influenza virus A/H7N9 isolates, decipher possible B cell epitopes and T cell epitopes of HA,NA protein,and analyze the association between susceptibility and HLA polymorphisms.Methods:The amino acid sequences of novel influenza A ( H7N9) virus were downloaded from Genbank.Phylogenetic trees were constructed based on the amino acid sequences of HA and NA by using software Clustal X and MEGA 4.0.B cell and T cell epitopes were respectively predicted with Protean software and NetMHCⅡ2.2 Server online server.Results:The homology of HA and NA proteins of H7N9 virus was high.10 B cell epitopes and 15 T cell epitopes were randomly distributed throughout HA sequence and 12 B cell epitopes and 9 T cell epitopes were randomly distributed throughout NA sequence.HLA-DRB1*0701 allele which was commonly observed in Northern Chinese population have a high binding affinity for 9-mer peptides of HA and NA proteins.Conclusion:The prediction of B and T cell epitopes of HA and NA proteins with multiple methods benefits the research and development of vaccine against human infection with avian influenza A H7N9 virus.HLA-DRB1*0701 allele may contribute to susceptibility to novel influenza A (H7N9) virus.H7N9 influenza virus is more easily spread in Urumqi,Harbin,Shandong Province,Liaoning Province,Beijing, Shijiazhuang and Tianjin of China.

OBJECTIVEDesign a convenient and stable eye refractometer based on the theory of blur circle.

METHODSAnalyze the retinal blur circle in both Emsly reduced eye model and Liou & Brennan 1997 eye model by ZEMAX. Design the coefficients including PD (pupil diameter) and NO' (length between node point and fovea) with the purpose of improving the accuracy. At last, compare the clinical optometry data from this refractor with the data obtained from optometry hospital in Wenzhou.

RESULTSThe blur circle diameters are nearly the same in both reduced eye model and the Liou & Brennan 1997 eye model. With the PD = 4 mm and NO' = 20 mm, the refractor shows a fine accuracy in optometry. The paired t test shows that the myopia group and the astigmatism axial direction group have no statistical difference between the data from the blur circle refractor and the hospital (P > 0.05), while the astigmatism degree group has the result of P = 0.41 which may be caused by the poor cooperation of pediatric patients. 80% of the astigmatism degree data differ from the data from the hospital in less than 0.75D.

CONCLUSIONThe blur circle refractor, with the features of convenience and fine accuracy, is promised to be a new style of refractometer in the future.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of birid triple viable on peptic ulcer patients with Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori) infection. METHODS: A total of 120 peptic ulcer patients with H.pylori infection was randomly divided into 2 groups. The control group was treated with the triple therapy including Esomeprazole, Amoxicillin, and Furazolidone. The treatment group was treated with the same triple therapy plus birid triple viable. The pH values of the gastric juice, bacterial culture of the gastric juice, the therapy-related side effects and the healing rate of ulcer and erosive were observed before the treatment and after a 14-day-treatment respectively. The (14)C-urea breath test((14)C-UBT) was used to evaluate the H.pylori eradication rates 4 weeks after the treatment. RESULTS: After the treatment, pH values of the gastric juice in both groups were significantly higher than those before the treatment (P<0.05). When pH values of the gastric juice ≥4, the positive rate of bacterial culture in the treatment group was lower than that of the control group (80.0% and 97.4% respectively, P<0.05). The rate of adverse effects in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group (11.7% and 30% respectively, P<0.05).After a 2-week treatment, the healing rate of ulcer and erosion was 80% and 68.7% in the treatment group, and 73.3% and 40.7% in the control group. The healing rate of ulcer had no significant difference in the 2 groups (P>0.05),while the healing rate of erosion in the treatment group was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05).The H.pylori eradication rates evaluated by per-protocol (PP) analysis in the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group (80.4% and 62.4% respectively, P<0.05). CONCLUSION The combined use of birid triple viable and the triple therapy of H.pylori in peptic ulcer patients with H.pylori infection can reduce the bacteria of the gastric juice and therapy-related side effects. It can increase the H.pylori eradication rate and promote the healing of erosion.
