Sixteen patients re-ceived SAMe because of cholestasis after prolongedTPN, and the therapeutic efficacy was observed.Results: Bile flow was obviously decreased and theserum levels of total bile acid and gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase(γ-GT) were markedly increased in thehypercalorie and sepsis groups. Meanwhile, hepatocytefatty degeneration, dilatation of cholangioles, and bilesludge could be seen microscopically. SAMe adminis-tration in the hypercalorie+SAMe and sepsis+SAMegroups could increase the bile flow, decrease theserum levels of total bile acid and γ-GT, reduce thepathological damage to the liver, and clear the bilesludge in the cholangioles. Cholestasis and abnormalliver function were the main manifestations of the 16patients before SAMe administration. After SAMe treat-ment for 3 weeks, serum levels of total bilirubin, al-kaline phosphatase(AKP), γ-GT, alanine aminotrans-ferase(ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase(AST)were obviously decreased, and normalized in the 4thweek.Conclusion: SAMe could prevent and treat cholestasiswithout discontinuation of TPN.展开更多

Later on, HP-NAP was also found to be involved in the protection of H. pylori from DNA damage, supporting the survival of H. pylori under oxidative stress. This protein is highly conserved and expressed by virtually all clinical isolates of H. pylori. The majority of patients infected with H. pylori produced antibodies specific for HP-NAP, suggesting its important role in immunity. In addition to acting as a pathogenic factor by activating the innate immunity through a wide range of human leukocytes, including neutrophils, monocytes, and mast cells, HP-NAP also mediates adaptive immunity through the induction of T helper cell type I responses. The pro-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties of HP-NAP not only make it play an important role in disease pathogenesis but also make it a potential candidate for clinical use. Even though there is no convincing evidence to link HP-NAP to a disease outcome, recent findings supporting the pathogenic role of HP-NAP will be reviewed. In addition, the potential clinical applications of HP-NAP in vaccine development, clinical diagnosis, and drug development will be discussed.展开更多

There are great differences between the clinical diagnostic and therapeutic modes and disease management of thyroid cancer employed by various medical institutions in China, particularly with regard to the clinical application of serum marker of thyroid cancer. To this end, the China Anti-Cancer Association Thyroid Cancer Specialized Committee Chinese Association of Thyroid Oncology organized this compilation of ExpertConsensus on Clinical Application of Serum Marker of Thyroid Cancer to help and impel relevant clinical institutions and professionals to standardize clinical diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of thyroid cancer, and to properly utilize the serum marker for scientific auxiliary clinical diagnosis and assessment of thyroid cancer before and after operation.展开更多

文摘To review the research progress of pure opioid receptor agonist oxycodone.The research progress of oxycodone in terms of pharmacokinetics,pharmacodynamics,adverse reactions,clinical application,combined medication and new progress in clinical application was summarized by referring to the literature.Oxycodone is a semi-synthetic thebaine derivative of opioid alkaloids,and is a pure opioidμandκreceptor agonist.The main action sites are the central nervous system and visceral smooth muscle.Due to its advantages of low adverse reactions,good analgesic effects,and a wide range of safe doses,the drug has been widely used in the control of acute and chronic postoperative pain,as well as malignant and non-malignant pain.Since the end of the 20^(th) century,researchers have begun to formulate antipyretic analgesics,opioid receptor agonists,opioid receptor antagonists,dopamine receptor antagonists and other drugs with oxycodone in different proportions to enhance the analgesic effect.At the same time,it can reduce the dosage of oxycodone and reduce its adverse reactions,so as to achieve the purpose of limiting opioid abuse.With the continuous research on the efficacy and safety of oxycodone in the perioperative period at home and abroad,oxycodone has become the only dual-opioid potent analgesic that can be used in clinical work.
文摘 Both Huiyang (BL 35) and Zhonglushu (BL 29) are the acupoints of the Bladder Meridian of Foot-Taiyang located in the sacral region. These two points are often used in combination to treat urinary dysfunction, and their regulatory effects are very satisfactory.1 In this article, the clinical mechanism of Huiyang and Zhonglushu is explained in accordance with the theory of Channels and neurophysiology.
