International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2016;38(9):793-795
Objective To observe the effect ofTanreqinginjection combined with routine medicines on the treatment of senile patients with bronchial pneumonia.Methods A total of 146 patients were randomly divided into 2 groups according to the random number table, each group 73 patients. Control group was treated with routine medicines and treatment group was added 20 mlTanreqing once a day. All treatments lasta total of 7 days. The Th17 and Treg cells were detected by cytometry analysis. The expression of IL-17, IL-10, IL-6, and TNF-α were detected by ELISA analysis. The clinical effect and adverse effect of the two groups were compared. Results After treatment, the clinical effective rate of control group was 79.5% (58/73), which was significantly lower than that of 91.8% (67/73) in treatment group (χ2=2.406,P=0.045). After treatment, Th17 cells was significantly lower in the treatment group than that in the control group (5.16% ± 1.24%vs. 8.22% ± 1.84%;t=2.564,P=0.017); but Treg cells was significantly higher in the treatment group than that in the control group (6.32% ± 1.79%vs. 4.32% ± 1.23%;t=2.552,P=0.021). The expression of IL-17 (11.43 ± 2.52 ng/mlvs. 14.15 ± 2.61 ng/ml,t=2.684), IL-6 (12.47 ± 2.16 ng/mlvs. 15.58 ± 3.12 ng/ml,t=2.564), and TNF-α (25.43 ± 4.27 ng/ml vs. 32.55 ± 6.14 ng/ml,t=2.594) was significantly lower in the treatment group than those in the control group. However, the expression of IL-10 (10.07 ± 2.13 ng/mlvs. 7.94 ± 1.83 ng/ml;t=2.673,P=0.023) was significantly higher in the treatment group than that in the control group. The temperature decreased time (4.57 ± 1.24 dvs.
3.25 ± 0.92 d,t=2.628), cough disappeared time (7.53 ± 2.13 dvs.6.14 ± 1.59 d,t=2.416), pulmonary rales disappeared time (6.81 ± 1.82 dvs.5.17 ± 1.06 d,t=2.537) was significantly lower in the treatment group than those in the control group.Conclusions TheTanreqing injection combined with routine western medicine could regulate Th17/Treg cells balance in the senile patients with bronchial pneumonia, and showed the significantly clinical effect.
4.Hyperuicemia and cancer
Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2016;32(5):429-432
[Summary] Hyperuricemia is a syndrome caused by increased production or reduced excretion of uric acid which is characterized by oliguria, anuria, and uremia. Recent studies found that hyperuricemia was correlated with the risk, recurrence, metastasis, and prognosis of cancer. The mechanism may be uric acid associated chronic inflammation and decrease of xanthine oxidoreductase expression in cancer cells. Current treatment of hyperuricemia is to reduce the production of uric acid by inhibition of xanthine oxidoreductase, but the side effects of systemic inhibition of xanthine oxidoreductase received more and more attention. These unwanted side effects underscore the urgent need for mechanism based preclinical studies that can identify optimal strategies for management of hyperuricemia in relevant cancer models.
5.Self-adjusting files, ProTaper Next and ProTaper Universal:a comparative study of root canal cleanness and the amount of apically extruded debris during root canal preparation
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(34):5443-5447
BACKGROUND:Amount of debris extruded apicaly is an important indicator to evaluate the effect of root canal preparation instrument. Studies have shown that debris extruded apicaly can cause post-treatment pain, and thus, reducing the amount of debris extruded apicaly can decrease the incidence of post-treatment pain. OBJECTIVE:To compare the root canal cleanness and the amount of apicaly extruded debris during root canal preparation with Self-adjusting files, ProTaper Next and ProTaper Universal. METHODS:Forty-five premolars with single canal were divided into three groups randomly, and then prepared by Self-adjusting files, ProTaper Next and ProTaper Universal, respectively. Debris extruded apicaly was colected, dried and weighed. Then roots were longitudinaly sectioned and observed under scanning electronic microscope to evaluate the cleanness of the root canal. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The amount of apicaly extruded debris in the ProTaper Universal group was significantly higher than that in the Self-adjusting files group and ProTaper Next group (P < 0.05), but there were no statisticaly significant differences between the groups of Self-adjusting files and ProTaper Next in apicaly extruded debris (P > 0.05). Scores on debris and smear layer were lower in the group of Self-adjusting files than the groups of ProTaper Next and ProTaper Universal (P < 0.05), but there was no difference between the latter two groups (P > 0.05). These findings indicate that the Self-adjusting files and ProTaper Next can extrude less debris beyond the apical foramen, which may decrease the incidence of post-treatment pain. Cleaning ability of Self-adjusting files is better than ProTaper Next and ProTaper Universal.
