Objective:To investigate the incidence, clinical characteristics and risk factors of growth retardation in pediatric onset IBD patients.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted. IBD patients with the age at diagnosis younger than 18 years old were recruited and screened in the Wechat group of patients in 8 IBD medical centers across the country. Demographic, clinical and growth-related data were collected through questionnaire survey, and the incidences of growth retardation at the time of diagnosis and investigation were calculated. According to whether there was growth retardation at the time of investigation, the patients were divided into growth retardation group and non-growth retardation group. The influencing factors of growth retardation were analyzed by the univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Results:A total of 97 patients were involved including 8 ulcerative colitis (UC) and 89 Crohn′s disease (CD). There was no growth retardation in UC patients. Among 89 patients with CD, there were 48 males and 41 females, and the age was 15.5 (1.0, 21.0) years old. At the time of investigation, 14 patients (15.7%) with growth retardation were set as the growth retardation group, and 75 without growth retardation were set as the non-growth retardation group. The incidence of growth retardation was 19.0% (16/84) at the time of diagnosis. Univariate analysis results showed that compared with non-growth retardation group, patients in growth retardation group had lower diagnostic age [5.0 (1.0, 13.8) years old vs. 14.0 (12.0, 16.0) years old, P = 0.003], severer disease activity ( P = 0.006), higher proportion of acute gastrointestinal perforation [28.6% (4/14) vs. 2.7% (2/75), P = 0.005], higher proportion of patients in using glucocorticoids [64.3% (9/14) vs. 33.3% (25/75), P = 0.029), and longer time of using glucocorticoids [1.5 (0, 6.5) months vs. 0 (0, 3.0) months, P = 0.040], while the proportion of patients using biological agents was lower [42.9% (6/14) vs. 80.0% (60/75), P = 0.010], and the time of using biological agents was shorter [0 (0, 6.3) months vs. 7.0 (1.0, 12.0) months, P = 0.006]. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the age at diagnosis of CD was still a risk factor for growth retardation after correcting other factors ( OR = 6.909, 95% CI: 1.250-38.195, P = 0.027) . Conclusion:The pediatric onset IBD patients with low diagnostic age are prone to growth retardation, which should be paid attention to.
Objective:To assess the short-term efficacy of ustekinumab (UST) in the treatment of intractable Crohn′s disease (CD) .Methods:Clinical data of intractable CD patients with the administration of UST in the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine and Xinqiao Hospital of Army Medical University from March 1st to September 30th, 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. All of the patients started UST at the recommended dose at 0, 8th, 16th/20th weeks. The clinical response and remission were evaluated by Crohn′s disease activity index (CDAI) . The endoscopic response and remission were evaluated by simple endoscopic score for Crohn′s disease (SES-CD) . The life quality was evaluated by inflammatory bowel disease questionnaire (IBDQ) . The clinical and endoscopic responses and IBDQ scores were analyzed statistically at 8th week and (or) at 16th/20th week. The differences in body mass index (BMI) , albumin, hemoglobin, C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) among 0, 8th, 16th/20th weeks after UST treatment were compared and analyzed.Results:A total of 18 CD patients were enrolled, including 12 males and 6 females. The age was 30.5 (26.0, 38.0) years old while the disease duration was 6.5 (1.9, 10.0) years. According to Montreal classification, 15 (83.3%) patients were diagnosed at the age from 17 to 40 years old, the disease involved the ileocolon in 13 (72.2%) patients and the non-stricturing non-penetrating type was in 14 (77.8%) patients. Ten (55.6%) patients were complicated with perianal disease and 6 (33.3%) patients had undergone surgeries. Eleven (61.1%) patients had received treatment of glucocorticoids, 13 (72.2%) patients had received immunosuppressants, and 16 (88.9%) patients had received biologics. The clinical remission was observed in 72.2% (13/18) patients while 77.8% (14/18) had clinical response at 8th week after first use of UST. The clinical remission was observed in 88.9% (16/18) patients while 94.4% (17/18) had clinical response at 16th/20th week. Endoscopic remission rate was 28.6% (4/14) while endoscopic response rate was 78.6% (11/14) at 16th/20th week. The level of BMI [ (21.0 ± 0.5) kg/m 2 and (21.7 ± 0.4) kg/m 2 vs. (19.9 ± 0.6) kg/m 2, all P<0.05], albumin[ (41.7 ± 3.7) g/L and (41.7 ± 3.7) g/L vs. (39.6 ± 4.6) g/L, all P<0.05], and hemoglobin[ (134.9 ± 12.0) g/L and (135.9 ± 12.3) g/L vs. (126.7 ± 15.8) g/L, all P<0.05] at 8th week and at 16th/20th week were increased significantly than those at 0 week. And the CRP at 8th week and at 16th/20th week were significantly lower than that at 0 week [10.2 (5.1, 17.5) mg/L and 7.6 (3.2, 14.7) mg/L vs. 15.5 (12.3, 31.4) mg/L, all P< 0.05]. However, compared with the baseline value at 0 week, there were no significant difference in ESR and IBDQ score at 8th, 16th/20th weeks (all P>0.05) . Conclusion:UST can effectively improve clinical symptoms and ameliorate endoscopic manifestations of intractable CD patients in the short term.
Objective To investigate the clinical diagnostic characteristics of intestinal non-B cell lymphoma and Crohn's disease (CD). Methods The clinical data of 27 patients with intestinal non-B cell lymphoma and 30 CD patients admitted in our hospital from January 2012 to August 2018 were collected and retrospectively analyzed to search for the indexes with statistical significance and further analyze its significance in differential diagnosis. Results Abdominal abscess, fistula, perianal lesions, and intestinal stenosis were more common in the CD group (P < 0.05), while, B symptoms and acute intestinal perforation were more common in lymphoma group (P < 0.05). The platelet count was significantly higher in the CD group than the lymphoma group (P < 0.001). In the endoscopic and intestinal CT images, segmental changes, ileocecal involvement, intestinal stenosis, cobblestone or paving stone-like changes, comb sign, polypoid bulge and Mesangial angiogenesis were more common in the CD group (P < 0.05), while abdominal lymph node fusion was more common in intestinal lymphoma (P < 0.05). Conclusion In clinical practice, in order to improve the accuracy of diagnosis, it is necessary to find the differential diagnosis points of CD and intestinal non-B cell lymphoma by combining small intestinal CT scanning and endoscopy. For the patients suspected of lymphoma, multiple endoscopy and multiple deep-dug biopsies are needed to determine the pathological diagnosis.
Objective To detect the mutation of STK11 in a family with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.Methods Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood and harmatoma polypus of all the patients,and 9 exons and noncoding regions of STK11 were amplified by PCR.Cycle sequencing was used to analysis the DNA sequence,and western blot was used to detected the mutational STK11 protein in the harmatoma polypus.Results The 21th codon CAG in exon 5 of STK11 gene transformed to TAG in all the patients,which translated into a truncated STK11 protein.Conclusion This novel mutation is the pathogeny of PJS in this family,which could be an indicator for the diagnosis of PJS in this family.And it may lead to a higher risk of cancer in patients.
Objective To compare the efficacy of bismuth-containing quadruple therapy on H.pylori eradication for 10 days versus 14 days in a randomized controlled trial.Methods A total of 240 patients diagnosed with H.pylori infection were randomly assigned to two groups:treated with esomeprazole,bismuth,clarithromycin and amoxicillin for 10 days(n =117) and for 14 days (n =123).Eradication was defined by rapid urease test or 13C-urea breath test at 4 weeks after drug withdrawal.Results A total of 219 patients were complete the trial.Intention-to-treat(ITT) analysis showed that the eradication rate of 10 and 14 days were 77.8% (91/117)and 76.4% (94/123)respectively.Per protocol(PP) analysis indicated that the eradication rate of 10 and 14 days were 85.8% (91/106) and 83.2% (94/113) respectively.There was no statistically significant differences between the two groups(P > 0.05).The incidence of adverse events were 7.7% (9/117)and 9.8% (12/123),respectively.There was no significant difference (P > 0.05).Conclusion The eradication rate of bismuth-containing quadruple therapy for 10 days and 14 days were essentially identical,bismuth-containing quadruple therapy for 10 days has a higher potency ratio.
Objective To explore the role of clinical assistants in improving the satisfaction of outpatients and analyze the factors influencing the outpatients'satisfaction. Methods Two groups of outpatients in a tertiary hospital in China were incorporated: with clinical assistant 352 patients and without clinical assistant 350 patients. The satisfaction of the two groups was investigated by questionnaire which was designed refer to previous studies, and the relevant information were collected by the trained health care workers. SPSS23.0 was used for data management and analysis. Results There was no statistically significance of patients'characteristics between the two groups ( P>0.05) . The patients in the group without clinical assistants had a low satisfaction in the following areas: whether been disturbed ( 170 cases, 48. 6%) , one person one clinic ( 200 cases, 57. 1%) , sufficient time ( 184 cases, 52. 6%) , opportunity to ask question ( 201 cases, 57.4%) , satisfied with the answer of doctor ( 192 cases, 54. 9%) . The young and middle-aged patients had lower satisfaction than the elders (P<0.05). Civil servants had lower satisfaction than did patients with other occupations (P<0.05). Patients with a higher education level tended to be more dissatisfied with outpatient services (P<0.05). Patients with FGIDS had a lower satisfaction than did other patients (P<0.05). We observed that there was a significant improvement of satisfaction with the clinical assistants'work (P<0.001). Conclusions This study found that the current outpatient satisfaction needs further improvement. Implementing a trained assistant for a physician is practicable and can increase the satisfaction of outpatients. The patients'satisfaction had a difference between different sociodemographic characteristics.

Objective To analyze the effect of different anti-platelet therapeutic schedules for incidence of upper gas-trointestinal hemorrhage. Methods 180 patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in combination with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage admitted to Xinqiao Hospital, Third Military Medical University from October 2013 to February 2015 were selected as research subjects, and the clinical data was analyzed retrospectively. According to whether the patients took the anti-platelets, they were divided into non-drug group (control group, 68 cases) and drug group (observation group, 112 cases), then according to different kinds of anti-platelets, the patients of observation group were divided into Aspirin group (66 cases), Clopidogrel group (21 cases) and combined group (25 cases). The clinical indexes and bleeding conditions of all groups were compared. Results After different therapies of anti-platelets, the rate of gastrointestinal bleeding in observation group was higher than that of control group, the hospital stay was shorter than that of control group, the incidence of stomachache before bleeding was lower than that of control group, the differences were all statistically significant (all P< 0.05). The gastrointestinal hemorrhage way of observation group mainly showed melena, and the clinical manifestation under endoscopic was gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer, while there were no statistically significant differences in gastrointestinal hemorrhage way, hemorrhagic rate and clinical man-ifestation under endoscopic among Aspirin group, Clopidogrel group and combined group (all P> 0.05). Single factor analysis for observation group showed that, gastrointestinal hemorrhage was related to age and Hp infection (P<0.05), while it had no correlation with sex, time of taking medicine, previous ulcer history and hemorrhage history, cerebral and coronary stent placement conditions and use of proton pump inhibitor (P> 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis for observation group showed that, the age and Hp infection had close correlation with gastrointestinal hemorrhage (P<0.05). Conclusion The patients with cardio-vascular and cerebrovascular diseases taking anti-platelet drugs can increase the rate of upper gastrointestinal hemor-rhage, and the abdominal pain is less, which shows melena and peptic ulcer in clinic. The single use of Aspirin and Clopidogrel or combined use has no obvious influence on upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, while the age and Hp in-fection are the main influencing factors of gastrointestinal hemorrhage.
肿瘤的发生与肿瘤细胞所处的内外环境有着密切关系,肿瘤微环境中存在着一群具有免疫抑制作用的髓源性天然免疫细胞,即髓系来源的抑制性细胞(MDSCs).近年来,多项研究指出MDSCs在肿瘤微环境中通过分泌多种具有抑制T淋巴细胞免疫作用的物质,借助多种分子通道,使肿瘤组织得以逃脱机体免疫监视,直接或间接地促进肿瘤的生长、侵袭和转移.通过抑制MDSCs的生成、活化、效应途径从而阻断其免疫抑制作用已逐渐成为肿瘤治疗的新领域.
Aim. To investigate the diagnostic yield and etiologies of patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) using capsule endoscopy (CE) or double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE). Method. We studied the data of 532 consecutive patients with OGIB that were referred to Xinqiao Hospital in Chongqing from December 2005 to January 2012. A lesion that was believed to be the source of the bleeding (ulceration, mass lesion, vascular lesion, visible blood, inflammation, or others) was considered to be a positive finding. We analyzed the diagnostic yield of CE and SBE and the etiologies of OGIB. Result. CE and SBE have similar diagnostic yields, at 71.9% (196/231) and 71.8% (251/304), respectively. The most common etiology was erosions/ulceration (27.1%) followed by mass lesion (19.4%) and angiodysplastic/vascular lesions (13.9%). By stratified analysis, we found that erosions/ulceration (27.1%) was the most common etiology for the 21–40-year age group. Mass lesion was the most common etiology in the 41–60-year age group. However, in the >60 years age group, angiodysplastic/vascular lesions were significantly increased compared with the other groups, even though erosions/ulceration was most common. Conclusion. In this study, we found that CE and SBE have similar diagnostic yields and erosions/ulceration was the most common reason for OGIB, followed by mass lesion and angiodysplasias.

Background The epidemiology of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) in China has rarely been studied before. The aim of the present study was to determine the etiology of DILI in a Chinese population by reporting a systematic analysis of the Chinese literature published from 1994 to 2011. Methods A comprehensive database search of the Chinese literature was performed to obtain all the relevant studies. The data, including the drug names and patients’ sex, age, clinical classification, and prognosis, were collected and analyzed. Results In this research, we found 279 studies including 24 112 patients. There were 265 studies that reported the sex of 21 789 patients, 11 787 men and 10 002 women. The therapeutics included (but were not limited to) tuberculostatics, complementary and alternative medicines (CAMs), antibiotics, NSAIDs, antineoplastics, central nervous system agents, antithyroid drugs, and immunomodulators. Of these drugs, tuberculostatics and CAMs were the most common etiologies of DILI in China. Conclusion DILI in China has a different etiology from that in Europe and USA. NSAIDs, which are the most common causes of DILI in western populations, are uncommon in China. Therefore, government, physicians, and patients should pay more attention to these drugs in DILI.
