RESUMO
Objective To explore the value of endoscopic ultrasonography combined with linked color imaging/blue laser imaging technology combined with magnifying endoscopy(LCI/BLI-ME)in determining the depth of infiltration in early gastric cancer after eradication of Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori),as well as the influencing factors affecting the accuracy of the judg-ment,so as to explore its clinical application value.Methods Clinical data of 91 patients with early gastric cancer after H.pylori eradication were collected from October 2017 to June 2023 in Wuhan No.1 Hospital.Based on the pathological diag-nosis,the endoscopic manifestations of gastric mucosa and early gastric cancer after eradication of H.pylori were summa-rized.The accuracy of endoscopic ultrasonography combined with LCI/BLI-ME in determining the infiltrating depth of early gastric cancer and the related factors affecting the accuracy were evaluated.Sensitivity,specificity,and accuracy were used to in-dicate the effectiveness of endoscopic diagnosis.Chi-square test was used to compare the difference between endoscopic diagnosis and pathological diagnosis.Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the factors affecting the diagnostic accuracy of en-doscopy.Results The overall accuracy of endoscopic ultrasonography combined with LCI/BLI-ME in determining the infiltra-tion depth of early gastric cancer after H.pylorieradication was 77.08%,and the accuracies of uT1a and uT1b stages were 82.86%and 61.53%,respectively.There were 12 under-diagnosed cases(17.14%)and 10 over-diagnosed cases(38.46%).The sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of endoscopic ultrasonography combined with LCI/BLI-ME in the diagnosis of mucosal lesions were 85.29%,57.14%,82.86%and 61.5%,respectively.The results of univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the maximum diameter of the lesion and the degree of tissue differentia-tion were the factors affecting the diagnostic accuracy,but not the location and shape of the lesion.The accuracy of endoscopy in judging the infiltration depth of early gastric cancer was decreased with the increase of lesion or the reduction of tissue differen-tiation degree.Conclusion Endoscopic ultrasonography combined with LCI/BLI-ME has good clinical application value in deter-mining the infiltration depth of early gastric cancer T1a after H.pylori eradication.The lesion size and the degree of tissue dif-ferentiation affect the accuracy of the judgment.
RESUMO
Women with gestational hyperglycemia tend to encounter breastfeeding difficulties, which may lead to breastfeeding failure or short duration of breastfeeding. Antenatal breastmilk expression, stimulating or massaging the breasts during pregnancy to produce milk and to collect and store colostrum, is beneficial to lactogenesis, thereby reducing formula feeding, promoting the transition to exclusive breastfeeding and increasing the exclusive breastfeeding rate. This review summarizes the safety and feasibility of antenatal breastmilk expression for women with gestational hyperglycemia, aiming to provide breastfeeding guidance for this population.
RESUMO
Objective: To study the anti-inflammatory effect and mechanism of Gutong plasters in acute inflammatory model of rats. Methods:Totally 60 SD rats were randomly divided into the blank group,the model group,Gutong plasters at low,medium and high dose groups(0.594,1.188 and 2.376 g/patch containing crude drug 0.48,0.96 and 1.92 g,respectively) and prednisone ace-tate group(0.005 4 g·kg-1). The acute inflammation model was prepared by injecting 5% formaldehyde into right side of foot plan-tar. And then,the anti-inflammatory effect was evaluated by measuring the foot plantar volume. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of nitric oxide(NO),histamine(HIS) and 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT) in serum and inflam-matory tissue,the levels of prostaglandin E2(PGE2),tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α),interleukin 1 beta(IL-1β) and interleu-kin 6 (IL-6) in inflammatory tissue were also determined. Pathological changes were observed through the pathological sections pre-pared by HE staining. Results:When compared with the model group,Gutong plasters could significantly inhibit the swelling of foot plantar in inflammatory rats(P<0.01). At the same time,Gutong plasters could significantly reduce the levels of NO,5-HT and HIS in serum and inflammatory tissue in different degrees(P<0.05 or P<0.01),significantly reduce the content of PGE2in inflammatory tissue (P<0.05 or P<0.01),increase the content of IL-6 in inflammatory tissue and improve the pathological changes of inflammato-ry tissues (the pathological score was significantly reduced). In partical indictor changes,Gutong plasters and prednisone acetate showed an equal effect.In addition,Gutong plasters didn't show significant dose-dependent manner in inhibiting foot swelling,affect-ing inflammatory mediators and improving pathological changes(P>0.05). Conclusion:Gutong plasters have better anti-inflammato-ry effect in the acute inflammation model induced by formaldehyde in rats. The anti-inflammatory effect may be associated with the de-crease of the levels of NO,5-HT and HIS in serum and inflammatory tissue,the decrease of the content of PGE2and the increase of the content of IL-6 in inflammatory tissue. In addition,the anti-inflammatory effect may be relevant to improving the local inflammatory tis-sue subcutaneous edema and inflammatory cell infiltration.

RESUMO
Objective To investigate the correlation between admission hyperglycemia and clinical prognosis in elderly patients with community-acquired pneumonia.Methods Based on the electrical medical record (EMR),information of the patients with pneumonia was retrospectively collected and the necessary data were prepared and arranged.Based on clinical outcomes,demographic characteristics and clinical indicators were compared between groups in order to screen potential variables affecting clinical outcomes.Then,the random blood glucose level 8.6 mmol/L was considered to be the cutoff point for grouping patients,with clinical outcomes as outcome variables,random blood glucose levels as grouping variables,propensity score value analysis method was applied along with the ratio of 1:1 nearest neighbor matching method to generate paired samples in order to assess the impact of blood glucose level on mortality rate;With hospitalization time serving as time variable,survive analysis method was used to analyze COX proportional model.Results Five hundred and fifty-eight patients were enrolled in the analysis,197 patients of which were recorded dead during hospitalization (the dead group).After the correction of demographic characteristics,past medical history and blood test indexes,white blood cells,C reactive protein,random blood glucose at admission and triglyceride levels were regarded as potential factors for the deaths of patients (P<0.05).However,the propensity score analysis method suggested that there was no significant difference between the blood glucose levels and mortality.The survival analysis showed that the mortality in the high blood glucose group was higher than that in the normal blood glucose group (HR=1.68,95%CI(1.22,2.31)).Conclusion Admission hyperglycemia is an important indicator of adverse prognosis in elderly patients with pneumonia.It may be of significance for screening and identifying high-risk patients.
RESUMO
Decision on mode of delivery (MOD) is a process involved by both clients and health care providers, based on specific clinical situations and women′s values. To help each woman obtain the best MOD is crucial for obstetric health professionals to provide women-centered high quality of care. There is a steep upward trend in cesarean sections in China due to the introduced advanced technologies, overused antenatal monitoring methods, flexible indications for cesarean sections, delayed childbearing ages and people′s misconceptions, etc.. Recently the conditional and comprehensive two-child policy have been implemented in China, which might initiate changes in fertility and birth intentions of many families, and in subsequent decisions on MOD. This review illustrates the pros and cons of MOD, decision process on MOD, influencing factors and strategies to promote decision on MOD, in order for the obstetric professionals to provide evidence-based best care for women and their families in the process of decision-making.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the safety of Polyisobutylene (PIB) Gutong plaster by transdermal administration. METHODS:66 rabbits were randomly divided into a normal group,a group with intact skin and a group with damaged skin. The latter two groups were respectively re-divided into PIB group,the groups of low,medium and high-dose PIB Gutong plaster and Gutong plaster group. An acute toxicity test was conducted on the rabbits,which 14 d of continuous observation was made 24 h af-ter transdermal administration. Another 60 rabbits were divided into several groups as above except for a normal group. A single pri-mary skin irritation test was conducted on them,where skin irritation reactions were recorded 6 h after a single administration based on intra-individual left/right self comparison method. 70 guinea pigs were randomized into a negative control group (vase-line),a PIB group,a positive control group(2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene),a Gutong plaster group and the groups of low,medium and high-dose PIB Gutong plaster,which were dosed for sensitization,followed by a skin sensitization test. RESULTS:No obvi-ous toxicity symptoms could be seen after administration of PIB Gutong plaster. The rabbits’intact or damaged skin had no irrita-tion response to PIB and low and medium-dose PIB Gutong plaster. PIB Gutong plaster caused no irritation response in the rabbits’ intact skin,but slight irritation in damaged skin 1 h after administration. The allergic reaction incidence of the positive control group of guinea pigs was 100% while that of any other groups was 0. CONCLUSIONS:The PIB Gutong plaster is safe for trans-dermal administration.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE To observe the protective effect and underlying mechanism of total ginsenosides (TG) on bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. METHODS Intratracheal instillation of bleomycin 5 mg · kg-1 was conducted to establish a pulmonary fibrosis mouse model. Kunming mice(1/2 males and 1/2 females)were randomly divided into sham-operation(Sham),model,total ginsen?osides 40,80 and 160 mg·kg-1 and prednisone acetate(5 mg·kg-1) groups. After 28 d administration,the histopathological changes in the lung were analyzed by hematoxylin eosin(HE)and Masson staining. The exprssion of alpha smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)in the lung was detected by real-time PCR. The content of hydroxyproline(HYP)and glutathione(GSH),level of total antioxidant capacity(T-AOC)and hydroxy radical(·OH),activity of myeloperoxidase(MPO)and nitric oxide synthase(NOS)in the lung were detected by corresponding kits. RESULTS Compared with the sham group,the pulmonary indexes in model group were significantly increased(P<0.01),alveolitis and pulmonary fibrosis were obvious. The mRNA expression ofα-SMA,content of HYP and · OH,activity of MPO and NOS were increased(P<0.05),but the content of GSH and T-AOC in model group was decreased(P<0.05). Compared with model group,the pulmonary indexes in TG 80 and 160 mg · kg-1 and prednisone acetate 5 mg · kg-1 groups were reduced(P<0.05),and the degree of alveolitis and pulmonary fibrosis was mitigated. The mRNA expression ofα-SMA,content of HYP and · OH, the activity of MPO and NO were decreased (P<0.05),while the content of GSH and T-AOC was increased(P<0.05). CONCLUSION TG can improve the degree of mice pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin. The mechanism may be related to the increased antioxidant capacity of organisms.
RESUMO
Eight-weeks old C57BL/6J male mice were treated with normal or high fat diet for4 weeks,and then bone mass,number and activity of osteoclasts,differentiation of osteoblasts from bone marrow mesenchymal cells and the change in lipid genes expression were studied.Compared with the normal diet treated group,bone mass of femur from high fat diet treated animal was decreased,but there were increased number and activity of osteoclasts and raised lipid genes expression levels.Besides,no obvious change was found in differentiation of osteoblasts from bone marrow mesenchymal cells.The loss of bone mass induced with high fat diet in young mice was mainly due to increased activity of osteoclasts and bone resorption.
