Objective:To detect drug resistance of bacteria in simple periodontitis.Methods:Bacteria from periodontal pocket were cultured and identified with the aerobic,anaerobic and L-form bacterium series of synchronism culture technology in 138 patients with simple periodontitis. Drug resistance of bacteria was detected with a fast chemosensitivity test.Results:135 bacterium strains were found in 138 samples (97.82%),multiple bacterial infecton rate was 81.48%,and penicillin resistancce rate was 90.37%.Conclusion:Multiple bacterial synergistic infection is principal in the simple periodontitis.Heigher curative rate may be obtained if treat the disease according to drug resistance analysis.

Objective: To analyze the mutation of target genes in extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) by using nextgeneration sequencing, and to explore its relationship with prognosis and clinical characteristics, as to provide evidence for the pathogenesis, clinical diagnosis and targeted therapy of ENKTL. Methods: According to previous literature reports, the genes whose mutations can affect the development of lymphoma were selected as the target genes for this study. 29 patients with ENKTL, who were newly diagnosed at the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from August 2010 to October 2018, were selected for this study. The mutation of 9 target genes in the specimen was detected by thenext-generationsequencingtechnology.Therelationshipsamongclinicalfeatures,diseaseprognosisandmutationofthetargetgeneswereanalyzedbySPSS21.0statisticalsoftware.Results: :Ninetargetgenes were were screened. AT-rich interactive-domain 1A(ARID1A) gene showed the highest mutation rate in ENKTL (10 cases, 34.48%) followedbylysinemethyltransferase2D(KMT2D)gene(31.03%)andtumorprotein P53 (TP53) gene (24.13%). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the overall survival of ENKTL patients with KMT2D gene wild type was significantly better than patients with KMT2D gene mutation (P=0.006). The KMT2D gene mutation was found to besignificantlyrelatedtoclinicalstage,CRP,albumin,lymphocyte count and Ki67 expression in ENKTL patients (all P<0.05). COX regression analysis showed that KMT2D gene mutation was an independent adverse prognostic factor (P<0.05). Conclusion: The KMT2D gene has a high mutant frequency in ENKTL and is associated with patients’prognosis, suggesting that KMT2D gene plays an important role in the initiation and development of ENKTL. It could be used as a clinical therapeutic target for ENKTL.

Osteoporosis (OP), a common systemic skeletal disease in the elderly, is characterised by bone loss and bone microstructural degeneration. Its clinical manifestations include increased bone fragility and bone pain. Furthermore, OP increases the risk of fracture due to the high bone fragility, which leads to lifelong disability or death, imposing a heavy economic and psychological burden on the patients and their families. The pathogenesis of OP is extremely complex and associated with a variety of factors such as proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts, impairment of osteoclast activity and function, and abnormalities in autophagy activation. Recent studies have found that mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaing pathway is involved in the regulation of bone homeostasis, which can promote bone formation and improve bone metabolism and bone microstructure by regulating osteoblast proliferation and differentiation and osteoclast function and activating cellular autophagy, thus playing a crucial role in the prevention and treatment of OP. The prevention and treatment of OP with Chinese medicine has a long history, clear efficacy, multiple targets of action, low adverse effects, and wide medicine sources. Therefore, this paper briefly describes the role of mTOR signaling pathway in the development of OP by reviewing the latest research reports and summarizes in detail the latest research results on the treatment of OP with Chinese medicine extracts and prescriptions via the mTOR signaling pathway. This review aims to provide a basis for the in-depth research on the relationship between mTOR signaling pathway and OP and the clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of OP.
