Objective To evaluate the relationship between genetic polymorphism of ApoE and Alzheimer’s disease in Chinese population. Methods Such databases as PubMed, EBSCO, CNKI, CBM, and WangFang Data were searched from their establishment to December 2010 to collect the literature about the relationship between genetic polymorphism of ApoE and Alzheimer’s disease in Chinese population. RevMan 5.0 was adopted to conduct consistency check and data merging, and to evaluate publication bias. Results ApoEε4 was the risky allele (Plt;0.05) in Chinese population, and its pooled odds ratios and 95%CI was 3.53 (2.49 to 5.00). ApoEε3 was the protective alleles (Plt;0.05) in Chinese population, and its pooled odds ratios and 95%CI was 0.52 (0.40 to 0.68). ApoEε4/ε4, ApoEε4/ε3, and ApoEε4/ε2 were the risky genotypes (all Plt;0.05) in Chinese population, and their pooled odds ratios and 95%CI were 10.17 (4.25 to 24.19), 2.57 (2.04 to 3.25), and 1.94 (1.13 to 3.34), respectively. ApoEε3/ε3 was the protective genotype (Plt;0.05) in Chinese population, and its pooled odds ratios and 95%CI was 0.67 (0.57 to 0.77). Conclusion In Chinese population, some ApoE alleles and genotypes are associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
ObjectivesTo systematically review the prevalence of rosacea in China.MethodsPubMed, The Cochrane Library, EMbase, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP databases were electronically searched to collect literature of the prevalence of rosacea in China from inception to September 5th, 2018. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and then meta-analysis was performed by using Stata 12.0 software.ResultsA total of 54 studies were included. The pooled prevalence of rosacea from 44 population-based or community-based studies was 0.27% (95%CI 0.22 to 0.32) and from 10 hospital-based studies was 1.47% (95%CI 1.08 to 1.86). Based on population-based or community-based studies, the highest prevalence was in the early 1980s (2.19%), followed by a gradual decline, to the lowest (0.17%) in the early 1990s, after that the prevalence increased to 1.24% till 2015. Based on hospital-based studies, the prevalence had a maximum of 4.64% in the past decade. The Northwest China and North China had higher prevalence of rosacea (population-based or community-based studies: 1.24% in Northwest China, 1.1% in North China; hospital-based studies: 6.03% in Northwest China, 2.83% in North China). The prevalence in East China and South China was relatively low (population-based or community-based studies: 0.02% in East China and 0.32% in South China; Hospital-based studies: 0.28% in South China). The prevalence of rosacea in female (0.36%) was higher than that of male (0.19%) in population-based or community-based studies.ConclusionsIn China, the pooled prevalence of rosacea is 0.27% in population-based or community-based studies and 1.47% in hospital-based studies. Rosacea is common in North China and Northwest China. Female has higher prevalence than male.
Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of adalimumab on plaque psoriasis. Methods We searched the MEDLINE (1966 to December 2009), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (The Cochrane Library, Issue 12, 2009), EMbase (1980 to December 2009), CBM (1978 to December 2009), and CNKI (1979 to December 2009) to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of adalimumab for plaque psoriasis. The language was confined to English and Chinese. We screened the retrieved studies according to the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, evaluated the quality of included studies, and performed meta-analyses by using the Cochrane Collaboration’s RevMan 4.2 software. Results Three RCTs involving 1?630 patients with chronic moderate or severe plaque psoriasis were included and assessed. At the end of 4th, 8th, 12th and 16th week, the PASI 75s of subcutaneous injection every other week in adalimumab (EOW) group were obviously higher than that of placebo group and methotrexate group. While at the end of 24th week and 60th week, the PASI 75s showed no difference between adalimumab EOW and placebo group. Twelve weeks after subcutaneous injection each week with adalimumab (QW), PASI 75 was obviously higher than those of placebo and EOW groups. However, at the end of 24th week and 60th week, there was no significant difference between adalimumab QW and placebo followed by adalimumab EOW. At end of week 12-16, there was no difference between adalimumab EOW group and placebo group in the incidence of adverse effects, with the exception of pain on injection site and upper respiration viral infection. At week 12-60, there was no difference between adalimumab QW and EOW groups in the incidence of adverse effects, with the exception of all serious adverse effects. Conclusion The limited evidence indicates that subcutaneous injection of adalimumab every other week for 12-16 weeks is safe and efficient for patients with moderate or severe plaque psoriasis. The efficacy can’t be enhanced when the treatment is prolonged to 24 weeks. The once-a-week protocol has no obvious advantage over every other week protocol. More RCTs are required to verify these conclusions owing to the limitations of the present study.
Due to the aging population intensifies, the number of people suffering from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia is expected to increase, which may lead to a series of public health and social health problems. In the absence of drugs to prevent the transformation of MCI into dementia, it is urgent to find effective non-pharmacological therapies to delay the progress of cognitive impairment. This article will review the diagnosis of MCI and the research progress of non-pharmacological therapies, focusing on the non-pharmacological therapies related to MCI in recent years, including exercise intervention, cognitive intervention, physical and mental exercise, dietary intervention, electroacupuncture, repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation, and multi-component intervention, in order to provide an effective treatment for preventing or delaying the progression of MCI to dementia.
Objective To search, evaluate and summarize the relevant evidence of the treatment and management of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) under the chest pain center mode by using the evidence-based medicine method, so as to provide references for optimizing the clinical pathway, improving the medical quality and improving the prognosis of patients. Methods Relevant evidence on the treatment and management of AMI patients in relevant databases and websites at home and abroad was retrieved, and the retrieval time limit was from the establishment of databases to January 1, 2025. The quality of the included literature was evaluated, and the evidence was extracted and summarized. Results A total of 15 articles were included, including 2 clinical decisions, 2 systematic reviews, 8 guidelines, and 3 expert consensuses. Finally, 23 pieces of best evidence were extracted, including the basic conditions of chest pain center, the evaluation and treatment of patients with acute chest pain, the integration of pre-hospital emergency system and hospital green channel, and training and education. Conclusions The best evidence for the treatment and management of AMI under the chest pain center mode can provide evidence-based basis for clinical practice. It is necessary to combine the situation of the chest pain center, fully consider the validity and feasibility of the evidence, and help the chest pain center improve the medical quality and improve the prognosis of patients in a standardized and scientific way.
Objective To clarify the correlation of p53 codon 72 polymorphism in peripheral blood with keloid susceptibility in Chinese population. Methods All the literatures of case-control research on the correlation between p53 codon 72 polymorphism in peripheral blood and keloid in Chinese population were searched in PubMed, EBSCO, CNKI, CBM, and WanFang Data from their establishment to August 2010. Meta-analyses were performed to detect whether there were differences between the keloid group and the control group about the distribution of genotypes of p53 codon 72 in peripheral blood, such as, Pro/Pro vs. Arg/Arg, Pro/Pro vs. Pro/Arg, and alleles Pro vs. Arg. Results Five studies involving 328 keloid patients and 420 patients in the control group were included. The results of meta-analyses showed that the population having the genotype Pro/Pro presented no increased keloid risk compared to that with the genotypes Arg/Arg (OR=2.17, 95%CI 0.86 to 5.47) or Pro/Arg (OR=1.90, 95%CI 0.92 to 3.93), while the allele Pro showed significant association with increased keloid risk compared to the allele Arg (OR=1.86, 95%CI 1.03 to 3.35). Conclusion The allele Pro of p53 codon 72 in peripheral blood of Chinese population is significantly associated with increased keloid risk.
Objective
To investigate the gastrin level in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and analyze the possible mechanism of gastrin in the pathogenesis of T2DM combined with GERD.
Methods
Thirty-eight patients with T2DM combined with GERD treated between January 2013 and January 2015 were designated as group A; 40 patients with T2DM only were regarded as group B; 36 patients with GERD only were regarded as group C; and another 40 healthy volunteers who underwent physical examination at the same period were regarded as group D. The fasting serum levels of gastrin were measured and compared among the above four groups.
Results
The fasting serum level of gastrin was significantly higher in group A [(116.53±22.02) pg/mL] than group B [(101.89±20.76) pg/mL], group C [(90.04±21.16) pg/mL], and group D [(92.48±19.69) pg/mL] (P<0.01). The fasting serum level of gastrin in group B was significantly higher than group C and D (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between group C and D in terms of fasting serum level of gastrin (P>0.05).
Conclusions
There is a high level of gastrin in patients with GERD combined with T2DM. Abnormal secretion of gastrin may be closely related with the occurrence and development of T2DM and GERD.
