    Gastroenterology related guidelines and consensus have been well revised, updated or newly made in 2016,covering the maximum variety and updates of the digestive diseases. Clinical consensuses formulated by professors in China provide great convenience to diagnosis and treatment of digestive diseases, as suiting the national condition. This paper will focus on gastrointestinal disease (Helicobacter pylori associated gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, peptic ulcer, inflammatory bowel disease and so on), hepatic disease (nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, chronic viral hepatitis  and so on), pancreaticobiliary disease (cholelithiasis, acute pancreatitis, and so on). We aim to give support in the diagnosis and treatment of digestive diseases by summarizing the advances of above diseases.

    In 2016, many guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, Sjgren  syndrome, gout and other rheumatic diseases updated again.The concepts  of  “long range management, treat to target”   which originated from the management of rheumatoid arthritis, have gradually infiltrated into the treatment decisions about systemic lupus erythematosus,gout,spondyloarthritis and other rheumatic diseases. New biological agents continue to emerge.The exchange principles  from traditional disease modifying antirheumatic drugs to biological agents have been more and more organized. The diagnosis and treatment methods of rheumatic disease have been more and more standardized.

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of stepped salt restriction on salt threshold, 24hour urinary sodium excretion(24 h USE) and blood pressure control in aged hypertension patients. MethodsAged hypertension patients in five residential areas of Shihezi were randomly divided into two groups: stepped salt restriction group(138 cases), unified salt restriction group(124 cases).Process control lasted for half a year. Salt threshold and 24 h USE were detected before the salt restriction and examined again when the salt restriction was completed. ResultsSalt threshold, 24 h USE and average daily intake of salt were significantly decreased in stepped salt restriction group compared with those of unified salt restriction group(P<0.05). Systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure decreased significantly in stepped salt restriction group than in unified salt restriction group(P<0.05).ConclusionThe stepped salt restriction model is feasible and effective in elderly patients with hypertension.

    ObjectiveTo evaluate efficacy of caspofungin combined with trimethoprimsulfamethoxazole (TMPSMZ) in treatment of AIDS complicated with pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP). MethodsThe study enrolled 102 AIDS patients complicated with PCP who were treated with caspofungin combined with TMPSMZ. In the meantime, 102 patients treated with TMPSMZ alone and matched with age, gender and admission condition were selected as control group. The therapeutic efficacy was  analyzed between  two groups. ResultsAfter antiPCP treatment, changes of PaO2, plasma β(1,3)Dglucan and serum LDH in combination treatment group were (13.4±7.9) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), (123.9±84.6) ng/L and (104.5±58.9) U/L, respectively, and those in control group were (10.2±6.7) mmHg, (98.6±83.7) ng/L and (87.3±63.4) U/L, respectively. There were significant differences between two groups (P=0.002,0.033 and 0.046, respectively). There were no significant difference  in WBC count, liver and kidney function between two groups (P>0.05). Effective rate was  significantly  higher in the combined group than that in control group (93.1% vs  82.4%,P=0.034). ConclusionCaspofungin combined with TMPSMZ is more effective than TMPSMZ alone in AIDS patients complicated with PCP, which is worthy of further clinical validation.

    ObjectiveTo systematically compare the risk of peripherally inserted central catheters(PICCs) and centralvenous catheters(CVCs) related vein thrombosis. MethodsThe PubMed, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, CBM and Wan fang databases were searched to find literatures evaluating PICCs and CVCs related vein thrombosis. ResultsA total of 17 studies with 6 299 participants were finally included in the metaanalysis. The pooled odd risk for PICCs related vein thrombosis was 2.785(95%CI=1.7964.321,P<0.01). The pooled odd risk for malignant tumor and intensive care were  3.049 (95%CI=1.9494.770,P<0.01)  and 3.954(95%CI=2.1817.168,P<0.01), respectively. NNT=-30, 95%CI=-31.25     -27.78. There were no publication bias,and the outcome was stable by the sensitivity analysis. ConclusionPICCs increased the morbidity of vein thrombosis, especially for malignant tumor and intensive care, so PICCs related vein thrombosis needs more attention in clinic.
