TL;DR: Pachydermodactyly is not well recognized by rheumatologists and should be differentiated from inflammatory arthritis involving PIP joints.
Abstract: Background:Pachydermodactyly is an infrequently reported disease characterized clinically by painless swelling of the soft tissues at interphalangeal joints. Histopathologic features include increased dermal accumulation of collagen fibers. Young males are predominantly affected. There are only appr

TL;DR: A novel mechanism by which specific cytokines in the RA SF elevate GADD45 beta expression in local Th1 cells and subsequently leading to the enhanced T cell survival is suggested.

TL;DR: It is suggested that VCI leads to abnormal diffusion in brain tissue, and that DTI histogram-derived measures might be used to monitor the severity of cognitive impairment in this disease.

TL;DR: Oxymatrine is effective in inhibiting proliferation of HCV, antagonisting liver fibrosis and regulating immune reaction of the host, so it could be a safe, effective drug in treating chronic hepatitis C.
Abstract: OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of oxymatrine in treating chronic hepatitis C and its mechanism. METHODS Forty-three patient were divided randomly into the treated group (20 cases) and the control group (23 cases). The treated group was given oxymatrine 600 mg per day intramuscularly, and the control group was given the general liver protective agents such as vitamins. The therapeutic course of both groups was 3 months. RESULTS HCVRNA of 8 in 17 cases (47.1%) of the treated group converted to negative, while in 18 cases of the control group, the negative conversion only took place in 1 patient (5.6%), the negative conversion rate was significantly higher in the treated group than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The normalization rates of serum alanine transaminase (ALT) of the treated group after 1 month and 2 months treatment was higher than that of the control group, but after 3 months treatment, the normalization rates of the two groups were not different significantly. Plasma level of soluble interleukin-2 receptor and serum level of collagen type IV in the treated group were lowered significantly after treatment, but in the control group, there were no significant change, the difference between the two groups was significant (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Oxymatrine is effective in inhibiting proliferation of HCV, antagonisting liver fibrosis and regulating immune reaction of the host, so it could be a safe, effective drug in treating chronic hepatitis C.

TL;DR: In most cases, MRCP can substitute direct cholangiopancreatography for diagnosis and should be considered as an important means in diagnosing the pancreato-biliary diseases, pre-operative assessment and post-operative follow-ups.
Abstract: AIM: To evaluate the clinical value of various imageological methods in diagnosing the pancreato-biliary diseases and to seek the optimal procedure.
METHODS: Eighty-two cases of pancreato-biliary diseases confirmed by surgery and pathology were analyzed. There were 38 cases of cholelithiasis, 34 cases of pancreato-biliary tumors and 10 other cases. The imageological methods included B-US, CT, ERCP, PTC, cross-sectional MRI and MR cholangiopancreatography (MRCP).
RESULTS: The accuracy rate of MRCP in detecting the location of pancreato-biliary obstruction was 100%. In differentiating malignant from benign obstruction, the sensitivity of the combination of MRCP and cross-sectional MRI was 82.3%, the specificity was 93.8%, and the accuracy rate was 89.0%. The accuracy rate for determining the nature of obstruction was 87.8%, which was superior to that of B-US (P = 0.0000) and CT (P = 0.0330), but there was no significant difference between direct cholangiopancreatography and the combination of MRCP and conventional MRI (P = 0.6666).
CONCLUSION: In most cases, MRCP can substitute direct cholangiopancreatography for diagnosis. The combination of MRCP and cross-sectional MRI should be considered as an important means in diagnosing the pancreato-biliary diseases, pre-operative assessment and post-operative follow-ups.
