To evaluate the present status of treatment of chronic pancreatitis, 116 consecutive patients with chronic pancreatitis during the last decade (1986~1996) have been surveyed retrospectively. The clinical date has been analized statisticaly. Etiology: biliogenic 56 cases (48.3%), alcoholic 17 (14.6%), idiopathic 34 (29.3%) and other 9 cases (7.8%). Better result was achieved in surgical treatment group (81 cases) than in conservative group (35 cases), pain free: 65.5% vs 33.3%. The accumulated five-year survival rate was 56.3%, 92.2% and 78.1% in alcoholic, billiogenic and idiopathic type of chronic pancreatitis respectively. Morbidity and mortality of diarrhea and diabetes mellitus increased at followup. The authors conclude that the chronic pancreatitis patients associated with obstruction of biliopancreatic duct should undergo operation early and will ameliorate abdominal pain.
Objective To evaluate the anti-tussive effect of a total alkaloid agent extracted from Papaver Somniferum L. on simple chronic bronchitis of which the syndrome was counterflow ascent of lung qi according to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Methods Randomised, double blind method, placebo control and add on design were applied. Forty-five patients with counterflow ascent of lung qi of simple chronic bronchitis were randomly divided into two groups: treatment group (n=21) with alkaloid agent and control group (n=24) with placebo. Results The incidences of obvious coughing in treatment and control groups were 66.67% and 70.83% (P=0.763 3) respectively. The cough alleviation time of patients was 14.64±16.30 h and 15.12±15.28 h (P=0.795 6) respectively. The loss of cough rates on the third day was 28.57%, 16.67% (P=0.337 7) respectively. The average scores decreased were 4.29 and 2.88 (P=0.054 8) respectively. Conclusions The study indicates that total alkaloid agent extracted from Papaver somniferum L. has no significant anti-tussive effect on patients with counterflow ascent of lung qi of simple chronic bronchitis treated with cefaclor sustained release capsules simultaneously. The trial was interrupted by the advice from experts who disagreed with the selection of drug indication.
Objective To observe the value of serum soluble receptor of advanced glycation endproducts (sRAGE) combined with lung function and high resolution lung CT (HRCT) in predicting the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) developing non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods From January 2019 to June 2021, 140 patients with COPD combined with NSCLC, 137 patients with COPD, and 133 patients with NSCLC were enrolled in the study from the People's Hospital of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. General data, clinical symptoms, pulmonary function indexes and HRCT emphysema indexes (EI) were collected. Serum sRAGE levels of these patients were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Clinical characteristics of patients with COPD complicated with NSCLC were analyzed. Serum sRAGE, lung function and lung HRCT were combined to evaluate the correlation between the degree of emphysema and the occurrence of NSCLC in COPD, and receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed for diagnostic efficiency. Results Compared with NSCLC group, COPD combined with NSCLC group had higher proportion of male patients, higher proportion of elderly patients, higher smoking index, and higher proportion of squamous cell carcinoma (P<0.05). FEV1 and FEV1%pred in COPD combined with NSCLC group were significantly lower than those in COPD group and NSCLC group. The Goddard score and EI values of emphysema were significantly increased (P<0.05). Serum sRAGE was significantly lower than that of COPD group and NSCLC group (P<0.05). Serum sRAGE level was positively correlated with FEV1%pred (r=0.366, P<0.001) and FEV1/FVC (r=0.419, P<0.001), and negatively correlated with Goddard score (r=–0.710, P=0.001) and EI value (r=–0.515, P<0.001). Binary multi-factor logistic regression analysis showed that age, smoking index, EI, Goddard score, RV/TLC were positively correlated with the risk of COPD developing NSCLC, while FEV1%pred, FVC, FEV1/FVC and serum sRAGE were negatively correlated with the risk of COPD developing NSCLC. ROC curve results showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of single diagnosis of sRAGE was 0.990, and the optimal cut-off value of 391.98 pg/mL with sensitivity of 93.3% and specificity of 89.7%. The AUC of sRAGE combined with age, smoking index, EI, Goddard score, FEV1%pred, FVC, FEV1/FVC, RV/TLC was 1.000 with sensitivity of 96.7%, specificity of 96.6%, and Yoden index of 0.933. Conclusion The combination of serum sRAGE, lung function and HRCT emphysema score can improve prediction of NSCLC occurrence in COPD.

Objective To evaluate the predicted value of APACHEⅡ score at admission for deep fungal infection(DFI) in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods The clinical data of 132 patients with SAP from January 2006 to June 2011 in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used for evaluating the predicted value.Results Thirty-nine patients with SAP infected DFI (29.5%),of which 36 patients (92.3%) infected with Candida albicans,2 patients (5.1%) with Candida tropicalis,1 patient (2.6%) with pearl bacteria.And,among these 39 patients,27 patients (69.2%) infected at single site,12 patients (30.8%) infected at multi-site. The APACHEⅡ score in 39 patients with DFI was higher than that of 93 patients without DFI (17.1±3.8 versus 9.7±2.1, t=14.316,P=0.000).The ROC for APACHEⅡ score predicting DFI was 0.745(P=0.000), 95%CI was 0.641-0.849.When the cut off point was 15,it showed the best forecast performance,with specificity 0.81, sensitivity 0.72,Youden index 0.53. Conclusions The APACHEⅡ score at admission can preferably predict DFI in patients with SAP; when the APACHEⅡ score is greater than 15,it prompts highly possible of DFI,so preventive anti-fungal treatment may be necessary.
慢性阻塞性肺疾病( COPD) 在全球的患病率和死亡率均高居不下, 并有不断增长的趋势, 由此带来了沉重的经济和社会负担。2011 年《COPD 诊断、管理和预防的全球策略》( 以下简称“GOLD 策略”) 更新内容中, 将COPD 定义为一种可防可治的常见疾病, 以持续性气流受限为特征[ 1] 。气流受限呈进行性发展, 伴有气道和肺对有害颗粒或气体所致慢性炎症反应的增加。急性加重和合并症影响患者整体疾病的严重程度。此外, 2011 版GOLD 策略还更新了疾病评价标准, 不再简单地根据气流受限分级治疗, 而是提出整合了患者临床症状、气流受限程度以及急性加重风险等三方面综合评估的概念[ 1 ] 。同时指出, 对于高风险患者, 无论临床症状多少, 吸入糖皮质激素 ( ICS) 与长效β2 受体激动剂( LABA) 联合治疗是 GOLD 策略推荐的首选治疗方案之一。支持这一建议的一个重要或里程碑式的循证医学证据就是“迈向COPD 患者健康的变革 ( TORCH) ”的研究[ 2 ] 。该研究从研究设计、研究主要结果、研究结果的亚组分析及影响因素等多方面进行了详细的分析, 并相继在众多国际著名医学杂志发表了16 篇文章[ 2-1 7] , 成绩斐然, 对COPD 防治策略的制订产生了非常积极的影响。认真分析和借鉴TORCH 研究及其后续分析带给我们的启示, 对提升今后疾病的临床研究质量、发掘研究成果、促进 COPD 的防治等方面将有积极的意义。
