Immunoglobulin G-mediated food intolerance and metabolic syndrome influence the occurrence of reflux esophagitis in -infected patients.

Background: Reflux esophagitis has an increasing prevalence and complex and diverse symptoms. Identifying its risk factors is crucial to understanding the etiology, prevention, and management of the disease. The occurrence of reflux esophagitis may be associated with food reactions, () infection, and metabolic syndromes.

Helicobacter pylori infection and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: There is a link between Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) with nonspecific digestive symptoms. Nonetheless, whether HP infection is associated with SIBO in adults remains unclear. Based on a meta-analysis, we evaluated this relationship.

The effect of equalization of public health services on the health China's migrant population: Evidence from 2018 China Migrants Dynamic Survey.

Objectives: China has implemented an equalization of public health Services policy for migrants in 40 pilot cities since 2013. The main objective of this study is to explore the effect of this migrant-based reform policy on the health status of the migrant population in China.

Methods: Using the China Migrants Dynamic Survey (CMDS), we included 152,000 migrants aged 15 years or over in 2018.

Temperature variability and common diseases of the elderly in China: a national cross-sectional study.

Background: In the context of climate change, it has been well observed that short-term temperature variability (TV) could increase the overall and cause-specific mortality and morbidity. However, the association between long-term TV and a broader spectrum of diseases is not yet well understood, especially in the elderly.

Methods: Our study used data from the fourth Urban and Rural Elderly Population (UREP) study.

[Characteristics of Water-soluble Inorganic Ions in PM2.5 and PM2.5-10 in Mountain Background Region of East China in Spring].

PM2.5 and PM2.5-10 samples were collected during March to May of 2014 at the National atmospheric background monitoring station (Wuyishan station) in Fujian Province.

[Influence of atmospheric transport on air pollutant levels at a mountain background site of East China].

Transport characteristics of air pollutants transported to the background atmosphere of East China were investigated using HYSPLIT (Hybrid Single Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory) 4.8 model driven by NCEP reanalysis data during June 2011 to May 2012. Based on the air pollutants monitoring data collected at the National atmospheric background monitoring station (Wuyishan station) in Fujian Province, characteristics of different clustered air masses as well as the origins of highly polluted air masses were further examined.

[Characteristics and impact factors of O3 concentrations in mountain background region of East China].

The O3 concentrations were measured online from March 2011 to February 2012 at the national atmospheric background monitoring station in Wuyishan of Fujian Province to discuss the characteristic of O3 concentrations and the impact factors in forest and mountain background region of East China. HYSPLIT (Hybrid Single Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory) Model was used to investigate the potential sources of particulates during the pollution episodes. The results showed that the background concentration of O3 was (87.

Mesenchymal stem cells alleviate TNBS-induced colitis by modulating inflammatory and autoimmune responses.

Aim: To investigate the potential therapeutic effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), we transplanted MSCs into an experimental model of IBD.

Methods: A rectal enema of trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) (100 mg/kg body weight) was administered to female BALB/c mice. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were derived from male green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgenic mice and were transplanted intravenously into the experimental animals after disease onset.

[Characteristics of PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations in mountain background region of East China].

The online PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations were measured from March 2011 'to February 2012 at the national atmospheric background monitoring station in Wuyishan of Fujian Province to discuss the characteristic of PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations and the impact factors in forest and mountain background region of East China.

[A retrospective study of 22 years endoscopic follow-up in elderly patients with gastrointestinal submucosal tumors].

Objective: To observe the occurrence characteristics, dynamic variations and potential risks of smaller gastrointestinal submucosal tumor (SMT) in elderly patients.

Methods: A total of 54 SMT patients were retrospectively recruited from January 1981 to September 2010. There were 51 males (94.

[The value of serum intestinal fatty acid binding protein measurement in discriminating intestinal ischemia in patients with acute abdomen].

Objective: To assess the differential diagnostic value of serum intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP) in distinguishing intestinal ischemia patients from acute abdomen patients.

Methods: A total of 151 patients with acute abdomen and 17 healthy controls from the PLA General Hospital were enrolled from November, 2009 to August, 2011. Serum I-FABP levels were measured by ELISA.

Role of serum carcinoembryonic antigen in the detection of colorectal cancer before and after surgical resection.

Aim: To determine whether serum levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) correlate with the presence of primary colorectal cancer (CRC), and/or recurrent CRC following radical resection.

Methods: A total of 413 patients with CRC underwent radical surgery between January 1998 and December 2002 in our department and were enrolled in this study. The median follow-up period was 69 mo (range, 3-118 mo), and CRC recurrence was experienced by 90/413 (21.

[Results of a 5-year population-based followed-up for 367 ulcerative colitis patients].

Objective: To investigate the prognostic and relapsing factors of ulcerative colitis by a 5-year population-based follow-up.

Methods: A total of 525 patients diagnosed with ulcerative colitis during the period from 1994 to 2005 at our hospital were recruited and followed prospectively for 5 years or until a relapse. The evaluation at 5 years included interview, clinical examination, laboratory tests and colonoscopy.
