Objective: To explore the clinical therapeutic effect of Hongteng decoction combined with levofloxacin on chronic pelvic inflammatory disease (CPID) patients and its effect on the expression of inflammatory factors. Methods: 72 patients with CPID who were diagnosed and treated in * * hospital from January 2020 to December 2020 were selected and randomly divided into observation group (n = 36) and control group (n = 36). The control group was treated with levofloxacin and the observation group was treated with Hongteng decoction retention enema on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated continuously for 2 courses. The clinical therapeutic effects of the two groups were compared, and the changes of related inflammatory indexes such as interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-10 (IL-10), C-reactive protein (CRP) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. The score of quality of life and the occurrence of adverse reactions before treatment were compared. Results: The total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The inflammatory indexes of IL-2, IL-10, CRP and TNF-α in 2 groups before treatment were compared, and there was no statistical significance (P>0.05). After treatment, the expression of IL-2 and IL-10 in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, and the expression of CRP and TNF-α was lower than that in the control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in physical pain, life function, social function and mental health scores between the two groups before treatment (P>0.05). After treatment, scores of physical pain, life function, social function and mental health in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the observation group and the control group (P>0.05). Conclusion: Hongteng decoction combined with levofloxacin has definite efficacy in the treatment of CPID, which can effectively improve the clinical symptoms of patients and inhibit inflammatory response, and is worthy of clinical promotion. Key words: Hongteng decoction; Levofloxacin; Pelvic inflammatory disease; Clinical effect; Inflammatory cytokines.

Objective: To compare curative effect and safety of omeprazole under different treatment courses in treatment of children with peptic ulcer (PU, diameter ≤1.0cm) and helicobacter pylori (HP) infection and its influence on inflammatory cytokines. Methods: The study was a randomized controlled study and conducted at Baoding children’s hospital from June 2015 to June 2018. In this study 100 PU children with positive HP were chosen and classified into two groups at random. The 58 cases in the observation group were given omeprazole + amoxicillin + clarithromycin, and the antibiotics were not used two weeks later. Then, omeprazole was used to treat for two weeks. 42 cases in the control group were given omeprazole + amoxicillin + clarithromycin for two weeks. Curative effect, HP eradication rate, clinical symptoms, incidence of adverse reactions, level of serum inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) and level of tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) in two groups were compared. Results: Total effective rate, HP eradication rate and clinical symptom relief of observation group were better than those of control group, and the differences showed statistical significance (P<0.05). The differences of two groups in the incidence of adverse reactions had no statistical significance (P<0.05). Serum IL-6 level and TNF-a level of observation group were significantly lower than those of control group and before the treatment, and the differences had statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion: The application of omeprazole in treatment of PU patients with positive HP for four weeks can significantly improve PU cure rate and HP eradication rate, relieve clinical symptoms and reduce inflammatory response, so it deserves to be promoted clinically. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.36.7.3048 How to cite this:Zhang S, Zhang Y, Dong Q, Gu F.

This study is to investigate the high expression of miR-365, cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) and inflammatory factors in knee osteoarthritis and their correlation with disease activity. The 94 patients with knee osteoarthritis were selected as the observation group. Controls were 94 healthy people matched according to the age and gender of the observation group. The expression levels of blood miR-365, cartilage oligomeric matrix protein, and the inflammatory IL-6 and TNF-α were compared between two groups and correlations between these indicators and Lysholm knee scores were determined. The serum levels of miR-365, cartilage oligomeric matrix protein and the inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α in osteoarthritis patients exceeded those in the normal control group (P < 0 05), and miR-365 was positively correlated with cartilage oligomeric matrix protein and IL-6 and TNF-α (P < 0 05). In addition, the positive correlation was found between the Lysholm osteoarthritis score and the above factors (P < 0 05). Finally, logistic analysis of elevated peripheral blood miR-365 and COMP is an independent risk factor for osteoarthritis. MiR-365, COMP and inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α are highly expressed in knee osteoarthritis.

This study was designed to analyze the effects of atorvastatin on microcirculation, blood lipids, inflammatory factors, and characteristic markers in patients with diabetic nephropathy. A total of 170 patients with diabetic nephropathy randomly divided into control and study groups with 85 patients in each group. The control group was treated with diet and lifestyle intervention, and hypoglycemic drugs. The study group was additionally treated with atorvastatin. Nitric oxide (NO), endothelin-1 (ET-1), thromboxane-2 (TXB2), 6-ketone-prostaglandin F-1α (6-Keto-PGF-1α), superoxide dismutase (SOD), total cholesterol (TC), triacylglycerols (TGs), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), homocysteine (Hcy), cystatin C (CysC), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels were observed for 8 weeks. Post-treatment of atorvastatin, the levels of NO, 6-Keto-PGF-1α, and SOD were significantly higher than pre-treatment in both groups, while the levels of ET-1 and TXB2 were lower than pre-treatment ( P < 0.05). The levels of NO, 6-Keto-PGF-1α, and SOD in the study group post-treatment were significantly higher ( P < 0.05) than the control group, and the levels of ET-1 and TXB2 in the study group were lower than the control group. After 8 weeks, the levels of TC, TG, and LDL were significantly lower, while the level of HDL was significantly higher in the study group. The level of TC was lower in the control group of post-treatment, while the HDL level was higher than pre-treatment ( P < 0.05). The levels of CRP, TNF-α, and IL-6 in the study group of post-treatment were significantly lower than pre-treatment comparing to the control group ( P < 0.05). There was no statistical significance ( P > 0.05) for above-mentioned indicators in control groups of pre- and post-treatment. The levels of VEGF, CysC, and Hcy in the two groups were lower than pre-treatment. Atorvastatin could effectively improve all the study parameters.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of atorvastatin on inflammatory factors, hemorheology, and renal function damage in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods: One hundred and six DN patients who were treated in our hospital between June 2018 and August 2019 were selected and randomly grouped into observation group and control group, 53 each group. Patients in the control group were given the conventional treatment; patients in the observation group were given atorvastatin treatment on the basis of the conventional treatment. They were treated for three months. The hemorheology indexes (whole blood viscosity, erythrocyte aggregation index, and fibrinogen (FIB)), renal function damage indexes (macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1, Secreted frizzled-related protein-5 (SFRP5), and mAIb/Cr) and inflammatory factor related indexes (C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-1 (IL-1), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)) were compared between the two groups before and after three months of treatment. Results: After three months of treatment, the hemorheology indexes, renal function damage indexes, and inflammatory factors related indexes in the two groups changed. Compared with the control group, the whole blood viscosity, erythrocyte aggregation index, FIB, MIF, VACM-1, mAIb/Cr, CRP, IL-1, and TNF-α levels in the observation group significantly decreased, while the levels of SERP-5 significantly increased; the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Atorvastatin can effectively alleviate the renal function damage in patients with DN, reduce the level of serum inflammatory factors, and improve hemorheology, which has a good clinical application value for DN patients. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.37.5.4045 How to cite this:Li R, Shi T, Xing E, Qu H.
