Objective:To verify the capability of small intestinal capsule endoscopy with intelligent assistant system based on deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) in the identification and diagnosis of small intestinal bleeding.Methods:A total of 158 235 small intestinal capsule endoscopy images of 1 970 patients were collected from ESView platform (including 3 765 images of 165 patients with small intestinal bleeding) for training of DCNN-based small intestinal capsule endoscopy with intelligent assistant system. In the validation phase, the capability of the system in identification and diagnosis of small intestinal bleeding was verified by images of 100 patients with small intestinal bleeding (10 cases of active bleeding, 31 cases of blood clot and 59 cases of submucosal hemorrhage).Results:Small intestinal bleeding lesions could be identified by the DCNN-based intelligent assistant system, and also could be displayed with mark on the original capsule endoscopy images. This system also could mark multiple bleeding images of the same lesion and multiple different bleeding lesions in the same image. With this system the average reading time of 100 cases of small intestinal bleeding of images the doctors used was (5.23±1.31) minutes per case. The sensitivity of the diagnosis of small intestinal bleeding was 99.00% (95% confidence interval 93.76% to 99.95%).Conclusions:The sensitivity of small intestinal bleeding identification by small intestinal capsule endoscopy with DCNN-based intelligent assistant system is high, which can be used to assist image reading doctors to identify and diagnose of small intestinal bleeding.

Objective To explore the status of infection, biotype and resistant background of epi-demic strains of Haemophilus influenza ( Hi ) in neonates, and the clinical features of neonatal pneumonia caused by Hi. Methods The multicenter prospective epidemiological cross-sectional design was used; four hospitals in west Sichuan China were chosen as research field,sputum bacterial culture was done and biologi-cal typing,PCR identification and drug sensitivity test of Hi epidemic strains were carried out among 0 to 28 days hospitalized neonates with infectious pneumonia in four hospitals located in west Sichuan China. The ca-ses with discharge diagnosis of neonatal infectious pneumonia with Hi positive separation were assumed as case group,and the same number of cases with Hi negative separation were assumed as control group accord-ing to 1∶1 extraction at the same time. Results Totally 757 cases with admitting diagnosis of neonatal infec-tious pneumonia in four hospitals were investigated in west Sichuan from November 2014 to October 2015, and the rate of sputum culture was 95. 51%(723/757). The total pathogenic bacteria positive rate of sputum culture was 15. 63%(113/723),and Hi positive rate was 1. 94%(14/723),Hi accounting for 12. 39%(14/113) of the pathogenic bacteria in respiratory system. All the Hi strains(100%) were non-typeable Hae-mophilus influenzae( NTHi) indentified by PCR. The main biotypes of 14 Hi strains were typeⅠwith 57. 1%(8/14),type Ⅲ with 14. 3%(2/14) and type Ⅳ with 28. 6%(4/14). The total of 35. 7%(5/14) bacterial strains of β-lactamase distributed in four hospitals,7. 1%(1/14) bacterial strains of β-lactamase-nonproduc-ing-ampicillin-resistant,and 35. 7%(5/14) bacterial strains of β-lactamase-positive-ampicillin-resistant were found in four hospitals. The rate of resistance and mediation to cefuroxime were 14. 2%(2/14) respectively, the resistance rate to cefaclor was 35. 7%( 5/14 ) , and 21. 4%( 3/14 ) to ofloxacin. None of the 14 strains was resistant to amoxicillin clavulanic acid and cefotaxime. The 1∶1 matching analysis had been done for 10 cases with discharge diagnosis of neonatal pneumonia caused by Hi. There were no statistical differences in general conditions,main symptoms, lung signs, X-ray appearance, classification of leukocyte and C-reactive protein levels between case group and control group(P>0. 05). Conclusion All the Hi isolated from spu-tum were NTHi among 0 to 28 days inpatients with neonatal pneumonia and the main biotype were typeⅠ, type Ⅲand typeⅣin west Sichuan China. There were no significant differences in the clinical manifestations of neonatal pneumonia with NTHi infection and other infectious pneumonia.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate cost-effectiveness of celecoxib for osteoarthritis(OA)in China. METHODS:OA cost-ef-fectiveness analysis model developed by National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence(NICE)was adopted using celecoxib, diclofenac+PPIs as control. Related risk Zof adverse event was from CONDOR trials.The effectiveness was measured by QALY. Costs and QALYs were discounted annually at 4.76%. RESULTS:Celecoxib had a cost of $3 591 and 8.826 QALYs while diclofe-nac+PPIs had a cost of $3 674 and 8.830 QALYs. The incremental costs and QALYs of celecoxib to diclofenac+PPIs were -$83 and -0.004 QALYs,respectively. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio(ICER)for diclofenac+PPIs to celecoxib was$23 258/QALY. The results of single factor sensitivity analysis and probability sensitivity analysis showed that drug cost was driving factor of IC-ER,and the results of two therapy plans were similar. CONCLUSIONS:Celecoxib is a less costly alternative than diclofenac+PPIs. The difference in QALYs between celecoxib and diclofenac+PPIs is extremely small,so celecoxib is likely to be cost-effec-tive for OA patients.

Objective To acquire normative values of anorectal manometry and sensation in population of our country with different gender and age.Methods Healthy individuals from four medical centers were collected and divided into three group according to their age,group Ⅰ 18 - 39 years old, group Ⅱ 40-59 years old and group Ⅲ ≥60 years old.The parameters of anal of subjects at resting status was examined by pneumohydraulic capillary perfusion system and high resolution PC Polygraf HR desktop gastrointestinal dynamic monitoring system.Subjects were asked to simulate defecation and then the defecation related indexes were recorded.In the end rectoanal inhibitory reflexes (RAIR)and rectal sensation were assessed by aired balloon.One-way analysis of variance and independent sample test were performed to compare indexes among three groups with different age and between different genders. Results A total of 166 healthy subjects were enrolled,79 in group Ⅰ with 40 male,68 in group Ⅱ with 29 male and 19 in group Ⅲ with 11 male.There was no significant difference in anal sphincter length (ASL),valid anal sphincter length (VASL),resting anal sphincter pressure (RASP),squeeze anal sphincter pressure (SASP)and duration of valid squeeze anal sphincter pressure (VSASP)among three groups with different age (all P > 0.05 ).Compared between male and female,only SASP of male ((180.13±8.10)mmHg,1 mmHg=0.133 kPa)was significantly higher than that of female ((143.93± 6.59)mmHg,t = -3.489,P 0.05 ). There was no significant difference in rectal pressure (RP),rectoanal pressure gradient (RAPG),anal sphincter relaxation rate (ASRR),and rectoanal coordination (RAC)among three groups (all P >0.05). During simulated defecation,RP and RAPG of men ((61 .23±3.46)mmHg and (40.04±4.08)mmHg) were significantly higher than those of women ((44.47 ± 2.32)mmHg and (24.00 ± 2.59 )mmHg, t=-4.075 ,-3.367,both P 0.05).All participants had RAIR,and there was no significant difference neither among three groups nor between men and women (both P >0.05).There was no significant difference in first rectal sensation (FRS)and constant rectal sensation (CRS)among three groups with different age (all P >0.05).However,the maximum rectal tolerable sensation (MRTS)of group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ was significantly higher than that of group Ⅰ ((194.41 ±6.32)mL and (200.00±12.75)mL vs (167.80 ± 5 .00)mL,F = 6.698,P = 0.002).There was no significant difference in rectal sensation between different gender (all P >0.05 ).Conclusions In our country,SASP,RP and RAPG during simulated defecation of male are higher than those of female.The value of MRTS increases along with the age.
RÉSUMÉ
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Most recent studies using high-resolution manometry were based on supine liquid swallows. This study was to evaluate the differences in esophageal motility for liquid and solid swallows in the upright and supine positions, and to determine the percentages of motility abnormalities in different states. METHODS: Twenty-four asymptomatic volunteers and 26 patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease underwent high-resolution manometry using a 36-channel manometry catheter. The peristalses of 10 water and 10 steamed bread swallows were recorded in both supine and upright positions. Integrated relaxation pressure, contractile front velocity, distal latency (DL) and the distal contractile integral (DCI) were investigated and comparisons between postures and boluses were analyzed. Abnormal peristalsis of patients was assessed applying the corresponding normative values. RESULTS: In total, 829 swallows from healthy volunteers and 959 swallows from patients were included. (1) The upright position provided lower integrated relaxation pressure, shorter DL and weaker DCI than the supine position. (2) In the comparison of liquid swallows, the mean for contractile front velocity was obviously reduced while DL and DCI were increased in solid swallows. (3) The supine position detected more hypotensive peristalsis than the upright position. The upright position provided more rapid and premature contraction than the supine position but there was no statistically significant difference. CONCLUSIONS: Supine solid swallows occur with more hypotensive peristalsis. Analysis should be based on normative values from the corresponding posture and bolus.

Objective To analyze the endoscopic features of patients with the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and crural diaphragm (CD) separation and explore its significance in hiatus hernia (HH) diagnosis.Methods From January 2011 to June 2012,the data of patients underwent esophagus high resolution manometry (HRM) examination were retrospectively analyzed and of which the patients with LES-CD separation were selected.Patients who received digestive tracts operation or lack of complete endoscopic date were excluded.A total of 93 cases were enrolled for analysis.According to Chicago Criteria,the cases were divided into three groups.There were 21 cases in type Ⅰ group (LES-CD separation<1 cm),37 cases in type Ⅱ group (LES-CD separation≥l cm and <2 cm),35 cases in type Ⅲ group (LES-CD separation≥2 cm).The differences among groups in endoscopic features were analyzed.HRM were taken as golden standard,the sensitivity and specificity of endoscopy in HH diagnosis were analyzed.Measurement data were expressed as x ± s,one-way ANOVA was performed for multi-groups comparisons,LSD method or Dunnett T3 test for pairwise comparisons and chi-square test or Fisher's exact test for two groups' comparisons.Results There were no significant differences in the distance between esophagus gastric junction (EGJ) and foreteeth of the three groups (P>0.05).Distances between EGJ and diaphragmatic HH pressure impression in type Ⅲ group,type Ⅱ group and type Ⅰ group were (3.57±0.78) cm,(1.89±0.81) cm and (1.14±0.67) cm,respectively and the differences were significant (LSDt=9.26,11.44,3.57; all P<0.05).The percentage of continuously-open cardia and showing pressure impression of the gastric pouch of type Ⅲ group was higher than that of type Ⅱ group and the percentage of continuously-open cardia and showing pressure impression of gastric poach of type Ⅱ group was higher than that of type Ⅰ group (80.0%,40.5% and 4.8%,x2 =11.64,29.76 and 8.59; 91.4%,27.0% and 4.8%,x2 =30.69,40.73 and 4.32' all P<0.05).The occurrence rates of the His angle blunting and sac of type Ⅲ group were higher than those of typeⅡ group and type Ⅰ group (74.3% and 77.1%,24.3% and 24.3%,4.8% and 4.8%,x2 =17.97 and 25.41,both P<0.05),there was no significant difference between type Ⅱ group and type Ⅰ group (P>0.05).The rates of esophagitis of type Ⅲ group and type Ⅱ group were higher than that of type Ⅰ group (71.4%,59.5% and 14.3%,x2 =17.14 and 11.15,both P<0.05),there was no significant difference between type Ⅲ group and type Ⅱ group (P>0.05).There was one case of Barrett's esophagus in each group.The sensitivity and specificity of endoscopy in HH diagnosis were 91.4% and 81.0%,respectively.Conclusions The distance between EGJ and hiatal pressure impression,continuously-open cardia,the His angle blunting,hiatal pressure impression of the gastric pouch and hernia sac were important indicators of HH endoscopic features.The sensitivity of endosocopy is higher than the spcificity of endosocopy in HH diagnosis.
