ABSTRACT
The clinical value of Chinese patent medicine is the core direction of the development of the traditional Chinese medicine industry. The precise clinical positioning determines the way to prove the value of the drug， and is a key link to highlight the clinical value. This paper presented a case study of clinical positioning for Chinese patent medicine， namely Qizhi Tongluo capsules， and the key technical framework of precise clinical positioning of Chinese patent medicine， which was manifested as a comparison of prescription target spectral effect， discovery of core value of prescription， and confirmation of clinical positioning trial. The technical framework was designed to address a range of issues in the realm of precise clinical positioning. Before the clinical positioning trial， based on the multi-component， multi-target， and multi-phenotype data of prescription and clinical indication， the multi-omics network analysis technology was used to identify the core value of the traditional Chinese medicine varieties and predict the potential clinical advantages. Then， based on the predicted clinical advantages， reasonable efficacy indicators were selected， and the clinical efficacy was judged and verified by dynamic and flexible innovative clinical trials to improve the success rate of clinical positioning. This research paradigm integrates "omics technology" with "evidence-based" principles and follows the "precise evidence-based" concept. This research aims to provide a new strategy and method for the precise medication and positioning of Chinese patent medicine with traditional Chinese medicine characteristics after being put into the market and provide more technical thinking for traditional Chinese medicine to move towards precise medicine.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of tiopronin combined with glutathione on the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), glutamyltransferase (GGT),blood fat and laminin (LN) in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver. Methods A total of 84 non-alcoholic fatty liver patients admitted to our hospital from March 2018 to September 2019 were selected and randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 42 cases in each group. The control group was treated with tiopronin, and the observation group was treated with glutathione and tiopronin. The levels of ALT, AST, GGT and blood fat were recorded and compared before and after treatment. Results After treatment, the levels of ALT, AST and GGT in the two groups were significantly lower than before treatment (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of ALT, AST, and GGT in the observation group were different from those in the control group, which was statistically significant (P<0.05). Before treatment, there was no difference in serum TC, TG, and LDL levels between the two groups, which was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The above-mentioned serum levels of the observation group after treatment were lower than those in the control group, and there was a difference, which was statistically significant (P<0.05); the levels of PCⅢ, PCⅣ, and LN in the treatment group after treatment were significantly lower than those of the control group. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The application of tiopronin combined with glutathione in the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver can promote the recovery of liver function and reduce the concentrations of TC, TG and LDL, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To evaluate the feasibility of expanded indication for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in undifferentiated early gastric cancer, to investigate the risk factors of lymph node metastasis (LNM), so as to provide the theoretical evidence for the choice of treatment.@*Methods@#From June 2007 to December 2018, at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, the clinical and pathological data of 807 patients with undifferentiated early gastric cancer and undergoing gastrectomy plus lymphadenectomy were retrospectively analyzed. Chi-square test was performed to analyze the correlation between clinicopathologic characteristics of early gastric cancer and LNM. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the independent risk factor of LNM.@*Results@#LNM was found in 17.2% (139/807) patients with undifferentiated early gastric cancer. And no LNM was detected in 110 patients who met the expanded indication of ESD. The results of univariate analysis indicated that LNM was significantly associated with increased carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), tumour size, gross type, ulcer, invasion depth, lymphovascular invasion and perineural invasion (χ2=4.500, 13.332, 16.611, 6.083, 51.064, 0.564 and 17.006, all P<0.05). The results of multivariate analysis demonstrated that the maximum diameter of tumor over 20 mm (odds ratio (OR)=1.606, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.021 to 2.526, P=0.040), lymphovascular invasion (OR=16.835, 95%CI 10.510 to 26.966, P<0.01), the depth of submucosal superficial invasion (≤500 μm ; OR=1.962, 95%CI 1.022 to 3.765, P=0.043) and the depth of submucosal deep invasion (>500 μm ; OR=3.014, 95%CI 1.753 to 5.181, P<0.01) were independent risk factors of LNM in early gastric cancer.@*Conclusions@#The expanded ESD indication of undifferentiated early gastric cancer is applicable for endoscopic treatment considering the low risk of LNM. In early undifferentiated gastric cancer, maximum diameter of tumor over 20 mm, lymphovascular invasion, submucosal superficial and deep invasion are the independent risk factors of LNM.

ABSTRACT
Background:Accumulating evidence links colorectal cancer (CRC) with the gut microbiota.Fusobacterium nucleatum (F.nucleatum) has been revealed to be involved in the development of CRC, however, the mechanism of F.nucleatum in mediating colorectal tumorigenesis is still poorly understood.Aims:To investigate the effect and potential mechanism of F.nucleatum on CRC.Methods:Wild type C57BL/6 mice and APC(Min/+) mice characterized by multiple intestinal neoplasia were used in this animal study.After administered with F.nucleatum intragastrically and/or 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH, a carcinogen) subcutaneously, the aberrant crypt foci (ACF) and colonic tumor were counted at 8th and 20th week, respectively.Structural alteration of intestinal microbiota and mucosal immune factors were detected in wild type C57BL/6 mice receiving different interventions by using Roche 454 GS FLX pyrosequencing and Bio-Plex ProTM cytokine assay, respectively.Results:In DMH-treated wild type C57BL/6 mice or APC(Min/+) mice, number of ACF and colonic tumor in those administered with F.nucleatum were significantly higher than those without (P<0.05).F.nucleatum colonization significantly altered the lumen microbial structure, with decreased Cyanobacterium and increased Tenericutes and Verrucomicrobia (P all <0.05).Furthermore, F.nucleatum up-regulated expressions of tumor-related immune factors in colonic mucosa, such as IL-21, IL-22, IL-31 and CD40L (P<0.05).Conclusions:F.nucleatum colonization in intestine may prompt colonic tumorigenesis in mice via inducing intestinal dysbiosis and modulating tumor-related immune factors expression.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the improvement of supervision system of online drug sale in China. METH-ODS:Usingonline pharmacyonline drugstoreinternet drugssupervisionas keywords,CNKI,Wanfang database from Jan. 2015 to Jan. 2016 and related websites were retrieved,experience about legislation,legal provisions and regulatory bodies in the United States,Britain,Germany and other countries were summarized. The problems existing in the current supervision system in China were analyzed,and related suggestions were proposed. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:The legal system of the online drug sale in the United States,Britain,Germany and other countries is more complete,legislation content is relatively perfect,pay-ing attention to the combination of administrative supervision and industry supervision. The supervision system of online drug sale in China exists problems as follows as legislation level relatively lower,conflict between laws and regulations;the legislation con-tent being not perfect,contents missing or provisions blur in many aspects;law enforcement existing in the government depart-ments,industry regulation being weak and others. It is suggested that the country should develop high-order law when improving the supervision system of online drug sale,modifying the existing law or promulgating the relevant specialized laws by legal form rather than regulations and rules;develop clear,actionable law and learn from foreign related systems (such as electronic evi-dence,blacklist)to improve legal contents;and further clear the powers and responsibilities of the regulatory authorities,actively develop industry associations(such as pharmaceutical association,etc.)to conduct supervision for online drug sale.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the access to online health information in community residents.Methods The online health information behaviors in residents of 10 communities in Baiyun District, Guangzhou, China, were in-vestigated with questionnaires and analyzed by SPSS 19 .0 .Results Of the community residents included in this in-vestigation, 25%were positive in access to online health information on general gate website and commercial health information service website, 74.34%showed their concern for food safety information, 52.30%focused their con-cern on disease symptom information, and 66.79%were unable to differentiate true information from false informa-tion.Conclusion The community residents have a low positivity and lack of awareness in access to online health in-formation.It is thus pressingly necessary to build the government-dominated online health information platform, and improve the commercial network model and the ability of community residents to differentiate true information from false information.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of Saccharomyces boulardii ( S. boulardii) on the col-onization of Helicobacter suis ( H. suis) in stomach and the formation of gastric mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) during H. suis infection. Methods Sixty C57BL/6 wild type mice were randomly divided into six groups. The mice in group A and group B were respectively given sterile distilled water and S. boulardii twice by gavage and then infected with H. suis for one week. The mice in group C and group E were given sterile phos-phate buffer saline by gavage for one week and then respectively given sterile distilled water and S. boulardii by gavage twice a week for 12 weeks. The mice in group D and group F were infected with H. suis for one week and then respectively given sterile distilled water and S. boulardii by gavage twice a week for 12 weeks. Serum and gastric tissue samples were collected from each mouse. Results The bacterial loads of H. suis in the stomachs of mice in group B were significantly lower than those in group A. No significant differences in the levels of se-creted IgA( sIgA) in serum and gastric tissue samples and the expression of IFN-γat mRNA level in gastric mu-cosa samples were found between the two groups. The expression of H. suis 16S RNA and the formation of gastric lymphoid follicles were detected in mice in groups D and F. The levels of sIgA in serum and gastric tissue sam-ples and the expression of IFN-γ and CXCL13 at mRNA level in gastric mucosa samples increased significantly in groups D and F as compared with groups C and E. Compared with the mice in group D, the bacterial loads of H. suis in stomachs, the numbers of MALT per unit length of gastric mucosa and the expression of IFN-γ and CXCL13 at mRNA level in gastric mucosa decreased significantly in mice from group F, but the levels of sIgA in serum and gastric tissue samples increased significantly. Conclusion S. boulardii could inhibit the colonization of H. suis in stomach and suppress the formation of gastric MALT during H. suis infection.
