1.Association between bacterial vaginosis and high risk human papilloma virus in female genital tract
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2011;18(18):2475-2476
ObjectiveTo study whether the presence of bacterial vaginosis (BV) increased the infection rate of high risk human papilloma virus(HR-HPV) in female genital tract. MethodsThe BV group had 867 patients who were diagnosed as bacterial vaginosis,and the control group had 610 female healthy volunteers without BV. Both the BV patients and the healthy volunteers were tested for HR-HPV infection rate and clearance rate. ResultsThe HR-HPV infection rate of BV group was 17.2% ,higher than the control group's 10.7% (P = 0.000) ,and 1 year HR-HPV clearance rate of BV group was 77. 6%, a little lower than the control group' s 84. 8% ( P = 0. 414).ConclusionThere was significant correlation between the presence of BV and HR-HPV infection. But 1 year HPV clearance rate had no difference between BV group and control group, indicated that efficient treatment to BV enhanced the vagina's anti-infection ability and decreased the incidence of HPV infection so as to reduce the incidence of CIN and cervical cancer.
2.Placental pathology and neonatal brain injury
Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2016;23(5):312-314
Placental pathologies include placental insufficiency,infection,meconium stained,abnormal planting and placental vascular anastomosis,et al.All those can lead to fetal and neonatal hypoxia ischemia or premature birth,which can cause brain damage.
3.Medicinal vesiculation combined with quick cupping at Shenque (CV 8) for allergic rhinitis with syndrome of yang deficiency: a randomized controlled trial.
Chinese Acupuncture & Moxibustion 2014;34(9):853-856
OBJECTIVETo compare the clinical efficacy differences between medicinal vesiculation combined with quick cupping at Shenque (CV 8) and regular medication for allergic rhinitis with syndrome of yang deficiency.
METHODSEighty-two cases were randomly divided into an observation group (42 cases) and a control group (40 cases). The observation group was treated with medicinal vesiculation combined with quick cupping at Shenque (CV 8). The medicinal vesiculation was applied at Feishu (BL 13), Gaohuang (BL 43), Fengmen (BL 12), Mingmen (GV 4) on the dog days in the summer, one treatment on the 1st dog-day, 2nd dog-day and last dog-day respectively with an interval of 10 days between two treatments. Three treatments were taken as one course, and totally one course was given. The quick cupping was applied at Shenque (CV 8), once a day, ten treatments were taken as one course, and totally three courses was given. The control group was treated with oral administration of loratadine and nasal spray of budesonide. The loratadine was given 10 mg per time, once a day for continuous 14 days; budesonide was given once a day, ten treatments were taken as one course, and totally three courses was given. The clinical efficacy in two groups after treatment was observed, and the contents of immune globulin E (IgE), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-5 (IL-5) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in peripheral serum were measured before and after the treatments.
RESULTSOf all the 82 patients, 79 cases completed the treatment, and 1 patient in the observation group and 2 patients in the control group dropped out. The effective rate was 87.8% (36/41) in the observation group, which was superior to 78.9% (30/38) in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, both groups effectively reduced the contents of IgE, IL-4, IL-5 and TNF-α, and the observation group had superior effect on reducing IgE and IL-4 to the control group (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe medicinal vesiculation combined with quick cupping at Shenque (CV 8) have better effect for allergic rhinitis with syndrome of yang deficiency than oral administration of loratadine and nasal spray of budesonide.

5.Causes and managements of dislocation after total hip arthroplasty
Orthopedic Journal of China 2006;0(03):-
[Objective] To approach the causes and managements of dislocation after total hip arthroplasty.[Methods]850 total hip arthroplasties were done in our department from 1996 to 2004,in which 7 cases experienced post-operative dislocation.Whith 4 males and 3 females,the average age was 67 years old.Causes and managements have been studied retrospectively through analysis of history,surgical approach,timing and direction of the dislocations and predisposing factors of the dislocations occurred.[Results]There wer 7 cases of dislocations of which 5 patients(71%)were primary cases and 2 patients(29%)were revision cases;4 patients(57%)had history of hip surgery;1 case had mental disorder after cerebral surgery.Direct lateral approach was used for all these patients,and only anterior dislocation was occurred in this group.Through study the AP X-rays postoperatively,the abduction angle were more than 55 degree in 2 of these cases.The time of dislocation was from right after operation to 27 months after operation;5 of them experienced their dislocation within 3 months after operation.Closed reduction and 6 weeks traction were selected for all these patients,and 6 of them were successful.Recurrent dislccation occurred twice in another one patient within 3 months after reduction,and the acetabular cup was loosened during closed reduction.A stable joint was achieved after revision and modifying the abduction angle of the cup.[Conclusion]Causative risk factors for dislocation after total hip arthroplasty include surgery history on the same hip,inability to comply with instructions of rehabilitation,approach of surgery and malposition of the prosthesis.Closed reduction and traction for 6-week afterwards are usually successful for most of the dislocated cases.Revision could be done in the base of analyzing the reasons for recurrent dislocation,and then stale joint could be achieved.

Evidence has indicated that low doses of anti-tumor regimens can induce cell apoptosis in vitro, although different regimens induce apoptosis by different mechanism and pathway. In recent years, new tumor treatment strategy has been mainly focused on inducing tumor cell apoptosis. The present review discusses the advantages and disadvantages of inducing tumor cell apoptosis. The benefit of inducing apoptosis is not to cause inflammatory reaction, but as its disadvantage, it inhibits immune responses, and the phagocytosis of apopotic bodies may result in horizontal transfer of genes (including oncogenes and other oncogenic materials), which can be one of the causes of tumor relapse. This paper proposes that the tumor treatment strategy should be turn into promoting tumor cell necrosis and inducing anti-tumor immune responses.
