Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials: Efficacy and Safety of UDCA-Based Therapies in Primary Biliary Cirrhosis

Major ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA)-based therapies for primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) include UDCA only, or combined with either methotrexate (MTX), corticosteroids (COT), colchicine (COC), or bezafibrate (BEF). As the optimum treatment regimen is unclear and warrants exploration, we aimed to compare these therapies in terms of patient mortality or liver transplantation (MOLT) and adverse events (AE).PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Scopus were searched for randomized controlled trials up to August 31, 2014. We estimated the hazard ratios (HRs) for MOLT and odds ratios (ORs) for AE. A sensitivity analysis based on the dose of UDCA was also executed.Thirty-one eligible articles were included. Compared with COT plus UDCA, UDCA (HR 0.38, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.09–1.39), BEF plus UDCA (HR 0.29, 95% CI 0.02–4.83), COC plus UDCA (HR 0.39, 95% CI 0.07–2.25), MTX plus UDCA (HR 0.28, 95% CI 0.05–1.63), or OBS (HR 0.49, 95% CI 0.11–2.01) all provided an increased risk of MOLT. With respect to drug AE profile, although not differing appreciably, BEF plus UDCA was associated with more AEs compared with UDCA (OR 3.16, 95% CI 0.59–20.67), COT plus UDCA (OR 2.27, 95% CI 0.15–33.36), COC plus UDCA (OR 1.00, 95% CI 0.09–12.16), MTX plus UDCA (OR 2.03, 95% CI 0.23–17.82), or OBS (OR 3.00, 95% CI 0.53–20.75). The results of sensitivity analyses were highly consistent with previous analyses.COT plus UDCA was the optimal UDCA-based regimen for both MOLT and AEs. BEF plus UDCA was most likely to cause AEs, whereas monotherapy with UDCA and coadministriation of COT plus UDCA appeared to be associated with the fewest AEs for PBC treatment.     

我国类鼻疽病的流行病学特征及诊疗的研究进展

类鼻疽病是由类鼻疽伯克霍尔德菌(Burkholderia pseudomallei)感染引起的一类人畜共患病,主要流行于全球热带及亚热带地区。在我国主要流行于南部地区,疫源地为海南、广东、广西、台湾等。伴随着旅游业和贸易业的发展,我国其他非疫区出现了输入性病例。类鼻疽病的感染途径主要为经伤口、粘膜、呼吸道、消化道等,其病变可涉及机体所有器官,易造成较高的误诊率和病死率。然而我国目前类鼻疽病的流行病筛查技术存在一定的局限性,在防控方面未实行有效的疾病监测和疾病报告制度,对基层医师和民众疾病知识普及的力度不够。因此,本文旨在提高我国医务工作者对类鼻疽病的重视程度,从类鼻疽病的病原学特征、流行病学特征、临床特征、诊断与治疗、防控措施这五个方面进行详细综述。

Infantile spasms. A retrospective study of 105 cases.

This paper is a summary of our observations on 105 cases of infantile spasms. The age of onset was around six months after birth, but the patients came for treatment mainly about one year after onset. Fever of unknown cause, asphyxia, birth injury, infection of the central nervous system, tuberous sclerosis, phenylketonuria and recent immunization etc. were complained. Clinically, it is characterized by head nodding, mental retardation, myoclonic jerks and various neurologic deficits. EEG findings showed classical or modified arrythmia or other epileptiform patterns. About one third of 22 cases examined had abnormal brain stem auditory evoked potentials. Among 42 patients who underwent CT scanning before ACTH treatment, 18 were normal and 7 abnormal; during ACTH treatment 3 normal and 4 abnormal; after completion of treatment, 4 normal and 6 abnormal, suggesting no further atrophy of the brain. Examination of trace elements of the hair by particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) method in 23 patients revealed a significant difference in lead, calcium and zinc contents between patients and 101 controls, but no statistical difference in iron and copper contents between the two groups. Sodium valproate, prednisone and ACTH appear to be effective in the treatment of infantile spasms. Eight patients fully recovered, and they can go to school without difficulty. Many patients derived various degrees of improvement to the satisfaction of their parents. Two patients were still amented and often attacked by myoclonus. The effects, side effects of these drugs, and the possible pathogenesis were discussed.

联合培养的成纤维细胞对平滑肌细胞增殖和形态的影响

目的:观察体外联合培养的成纤维细胞对平滑肌细胞形态和增殖的影响,为研究成纤维细胞和平滑肌细胞生物学特性和相互关系以及体外构建含此两种细胞的组织工程皮肤提供理论和实践基础。方法:在体外分别分离培养成纤维细胞和平滑肌细胞并常规传代培养。模拟组织工程皮肤的结构及成纤维细胞和平滑肌细胞间的相互影响途径,按照不同比例(平滑肌细胞:成纤维细胞=1:1,1:2,1:3)建立以胶原凝胶为基质的成纤维细胞与平滑肌细胞联合培养模型。应用荧光标记、组织学观察和MTT法对平滑肌细胞的形态和代谢进行研究。结果:联合培养模型法可以有效地建立起成纤维细胞和平滑肌细胞的相互影响模式。1:1组的成纤维细胞对联合培养的平滑肌细胞增殖有促进作用,1:3组的促增殖作用则不明显。结论:1:1联合培养的成纤维细胞对平滑肌细胞增殖有促进作用,对它们体外培养和扩增以及相互关系的研究对阐明这两种细胞组合作为真皮替代物种子细胞具有重要的意义。

脊髓手术中体感诱发电位监测的临床研究

报告３０例脊髓手术中体感诱发电位（ＳＥＰ）连续监测的临床研究结果。ＳＥＰ记录包括脊髓ＳＥＰ（ＳＳＥＰ）和皮层ＳＥＰ（ＳＣＥＰ）。麻醉药物对ＳＥＰ有一定程度影响，ＳＣＥＰ相对较大。认为，至少术中ＳＥＰ潜伏期延长不超过８％和波幅降低不超过５０％，不会引起术后并发症，超过该范围由于病例较少，尚不能肯定与预后的关系，需进一步探讨。
