Objective To observe the clinical effect of blood-pricking therapy combined with electroacupuncture in the treatment of migraine. Methods 70 patients with migraine who were admitted to Chengbei Branch of Hangzhou First People's Hospital from October 2015 to October 2016 were randomly divided into two groups: blood-pricking therapy combined with electroacupuncture group (observation group) and oral western medicine control group (western medicine group) respectively, with 35 cases in each group. The observation group was given pricking for bloodletting combined with electroacupuncture. The oral Western medicine control group was orally given ergotamine caffeine tablets and flunarizine for treatment, with the course of treatment of 12 days. Visual analogue scores(VASscores) 30 minutes after the end of the first treatment and headache scores at the end of the treatment period were observed. The difference of the efficacy of the two treatment methods was compared. Results The decrease value of VASscore in the observation group 30 minutes after the end of treatment was better than that in western medicine group(P<0. 05). Before and after treatment, the decrease value of the headache scores and the total effective rate in the observation group were better than those in the western medicine group(P<0. 05). The adverse reaction rate in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the western medicine group(P<0. 05). Conclusion The combination of blood-pricking therapy and electroacupuncture and oral administration of western medicine both have a good immediate analgesic effect on migraine. However, the immediate analgesic effect and the short-term efficacy of blood pricking combined with electroacupuncture in the treatment of migraine are significantly better than those of oral administration of western medicine, and the safety is high, which is worthy of promotion.

Objective To explore the protective effect of rosiglitazone on insulin resistance( IR)induced by high glucose in vascular endothelial cells and its possible mechanism. Methods Human umbilical vein endothelial cells( HUVECs) was divided into 3 groups:the normal control group cultivated in DEME medium with 5. 5 mmol·L-1 glucose;the high glucose group( HG)cultivated in DEME medium with 33 mmol · L-1 glucose for 24 h after the IR model was set up;the rosiglitazone group cultivated in DEME medium with 33 mmol·L-1 glucose and 10 μmol·L-1 of rosiglitazone for 24 h after the IR model was set up. The cell viability,nitric oxide(NO),endothelin-1(ET-1),mitochondrial membrane potential,reactive oxygen species ( ROS),p-IKK and IkBa protein levels were detected. Results Compared with the normal control,the cell viability,the level of NO and the mitochondrial membrane potential were decreased,levels of ET-1 and ROS increased,p-IKK expression was up-regulated,and IκBα expression was down-regulated in HG group(all P〈0. 01). Rosiglitazone reversed these changes in a time-dependent manner(P〈0. 05). Conclusion Rosiglitazone has the protective effect on insulin resistance induced by high glucose in vascular endothelial cells via inhibiting ROS/IKK signaling pathway.

Aim To investigate the role of captopril in insulin resistance of endothelial cells induced by high glucose.Methods 1 .Improvement effect of captopril on insulin resistance in HUVECs was observed.The HUVECs were seeded in a 6-well plate and were ran-domly divided into 5 groups,namely,control group, IR group,IR together with different Cap concentrations (low,medium and high concentration),respectively. 2.Improvement effect of Cap on insulin resistance was mediated by PPARγin HUVECs.HUVECs were ran-domly divided into 6 groups,namely,control group, control +PPARγinhibitor (PI)(1 .0 μmol · L -1 ) group,IR group,IR +PI(1 .0 μmol·L -1 )group,IR +Cap(1 ×1 0 -5 mol·L -1 ) group,and IR +Cap +PI (1 .0 μmol·L -1 )group.All indicators were detected. Results After HUVECs were incubated with media containing 33 mmol·L -1 of glucose for 48 h,the NO levels were significantly decreased while ET-1 levels were significantly elevated,showing a significant differ-ence between IR group and control group (P <0.01 ). The expression levels of PPARγmRNA and its protein were somewhat up-regulated,but there was no signifi-cant difference between IR group and control group (P>0.05).When the HUVECs in IR group were treated with DMEM containing glucose (33 mmol·L -1 )for 48 h and insulin for 30 min,the expression levels of PPARγmRNA and its protein in Cap groups were simi-lar to those in the IR group,and there was no signifi-cant difference between the two groups (P >0.05 );however, the expression levels of phosphorylated PPARγprotein in Cap groups were increased compared with IR group (P <0.05).The levels of NO were sig-nificantly increased whereas the levels of ET-1 were decreased in Cap groups,which had significant differ-ences compared with IR group (P <0.05).Nonethe-less,pre-treating with GW9662,a PPARγinhibitor, the improvement effects of Cap were markedly abol-ished.Conclusions Captopril could improve high glucose-induced insulin resistance of endothelial cells mediated by PPARγ,and the underlying mechanisms are related to the activation of PPARγ,rather than its expression.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the value of high risk (HR)-HPV viral load in predicting cervical lesions and triaging for HR-HPV positive women.
METHODSThe study cohort came from a multicenter cervical cancer screening program. HR-HPV was detected by hybrid capture 2 (HC-2) assay, and viral load was measured by the ratio of relative light units to cut off (RLU/CO). Women were divided into 4 groups according to the RLU/CO value, and CIN diagnostic system was used to describe the severity of cervical lesions. Chi-square trend test was used to analyze the association between viral load and CIN. The absolute and relative risks of CIN2+ in different viral load groups were calculated, and the clinical performance to detect CIN2+ at follow-up by different cut-off values of baseline RLU/CO was also calculated.
RESULTS2 725 women with complete results of both baseline and follow-up were included in this analysis. The severity of cervical lesions increased with the increasing viral load (P < 0.001). In women with normal or CIN1 diagnosis at baseline, the absolute risk of one-year accumulative CIN2+ was 0.11% in the HR-HPV-negative group, compared with 3.14% in the moderate viral load group and 6.09% in the high viral load group, and the relative risk of 29.05 (95%CI: 6.07-138.99) in the moderate viral load group and 56.34 (95%CI: 12.89-246.30) in the high viral load group. Raising cut-off value of baseline HR-HPV viral load to 15.00, RLU/CO decreased the number of women who need to be followed up at one-year from 774 to 412, with the sensitivity of 91.30% and specificity of 47.94% in detecting CIN2+ at follow-up.
CONCLUSIONSThe risk of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions increases with the increasing HR-HPV viral load. Raising the cut-off value of HR-HPV viral load can triage for HR-HPV-positive women, therefore help to allocate the health resources more effectively.

Objective:
To analyze the distribution and associated factors of high-risk genotypes of HPV in cervical infection among women in Shenzhen.
Methods:
The information on sociodemographic characteristics and HPV genotypes of HPV-positive women who participated cervical screening test from January 2014 to December 2016 was downloaded from Shenzhen Maternity and Child Healthcare Management Information System. According to the pathogenicity, the high-risk HPV genotypes were divided into 15 types including HPV 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 53, 56, 58, 59, 66 and 68; and there were 6 low-risk genotypes including HPV 6, 11, 42, 43, 44, and 81. Chi-square tests were applied to compare the proportions of high-risk HPV infection among women who had different sociodemographic characteristics. A non-conditional logistic regression model was used to analyze the associated factors for high-risk HPV infection.
Results:
In total, all HIV positives received HPV genotyping, with an average age of (38.08±9.38) years old. There were 9 979 (93.9%) high-risk and 645 (6.1%) low-risk HPV infections. The proportions of HPV infections for high-risk type in each year were 91.5%, 93.8%, and 95.6%, increasing with the screening years (χ2=54.79,
