This study evaluated the efficacy of rabdosia rubescens against gingivitis and compared the therapeutic efficacy of different dosage forms of rabdosia rubescens. A multi-center, randomized, double-blind, double-simulation, positive-controlled and parallel trial was conducted. A total of 136 patients exhibiting clinical symptoms of gingivitis were enrolled. The subjects were randomly assigned to two groups: test group (n=67), in which rabdosia rubescens drop pill (960 mg) and 4 tablets of simulation agent of rabdosia rubescen were orally given to the subjects three times a day for 5 days; and control group (n=69), in which the subjects were administered the tablets of rabdosia rubescens (1000 mg) and 24 drop pills of simulation agent of rabdosia rubescens thrice daily for 5 days. The experimental protocols and diagnostic criteria were established by expert panel prior to the experiment. The clinical symptoms were graded according to the severity of the disease and quantified. The total scores and scores for each clinical symptom of gingivitis were assessed at baseline and on the 6th day post-treatment. The therapeutic efficacy was compared between the two groups and in each group itself before and after the treatment. The results showed that in the two groups, the subjects who were given rabdosia rubescens, drop pill or tablet, had a decrease in total scores and scores for each clinical symptom when compared with those before treatment (P<0.01). There was significant difference in the therapeutic efficacy between the test group and the control group with the efficacy rate being 92.54% and 79.71% respectively (P<0.05). It was concluded that rabdosia rubescens showed great promise in treating gingivitis. And rabdosia rubescens drop pill was more efficacious than rabdosia rubescens tablet.

The learning theory of constructivism, formed by the development of cognitive psychology, shaped well thecognitive structure of medical students. It paid attention to the curriculum configuration and integration, and also thoughtmuch of the situated instruction. The theory embodied the main ideology of regarding medical students as the instruc-tional central and the principle of independent study. It offered the theoretical basis and a new view for the setting ofclinical integrate curriculum.

Adipose stem cel s have been confirmed to promote the repair of soft tissue after damage, and the action mechanism is possibly related to the paracrine of adipose stem cel s, that is adipose stem cel s secrete a variety of cytokines, which may promote the restoration of damaged cel s. However, little report addressed the types of adipose stem cel s secreted factors, contents of each factor, and role in soft tissue repair after damage, especial y oral mucosa. To observe the influence of vascular endothelial growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, and basic fibroblast growth factor in adipose stem cel-conditioned medium on the proliferation of oral mucosa fibroblasts. Protein microarray analysis was used to analyze the contents of vascular endothelial growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, and basic fibroblast growth factor in adipose stem cel-conditioned medium. CCK8 analysis was used to analyze the effects of adipose stem cel-conditioned medium with different concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, and basic fibroblast growth factor (0, 1, 10, 20, 50 and 100μg/L) or the neutralizing antibody of the three kinds of cytokines on the proliferation of oral mucosa fibroblast on 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 days. High contents of vascular endothelial growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, and basic fibroblast growth factor were contained in adipose stem cel-conditioned medium (signal value>300). Adipose stem cel-conditioned medium could promote the proliferation of oral mucosa fibroblasts, wherein, the promotion effects of platelet-derived growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor were very significant, and the peak changes could be observed with variation of cytokines concentrations. The optimal concentrations of platelet-derived growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor were 50μg/L and 1μg/L, respectively (P ≤ 0.05). The neutralizing antibody of platelet-derived growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor inhibited the promotion effect of adipose stem cel-conditioned medium. On the other hand, vascular endothelial growth factor had no significant effect on the proliferation of oral mucosa fibroblasts. Adipose stem cel-conditioned medium can promote the proliferation of oral mucosa fibroblasts, platelet-derived growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor in adipose stem cel-conditioned medium have obvious promotion effects, which are dependent on the cytokine concentrations. Therefore, we should pay attention to choose the optimal concentrations of cytokines, thereby effectively promoting the proliferation of fibroblasts.

The expression of microRNA (miRNA) is closely related to radio-chemosensitivity in glioma stem cells (GSCs).Moreover,the growth of glioma stem cells could be inhibited comprehensively by increasing radio-chemosensitivity and apoptosis,simultaneously with the regulation of a single miRNA,which has been confirmed by some researches.Thereby microRNA is prospective for the adoption as a specific agent in targeted therapy of glioma,so as to increase the radio-chemosensitivity in glioma stem cells.

OBJECTIVE To explore the condition of the cellular immune function of children with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS) and its change after operation METHODS Eighty children diagnosed as OSAHS were included in this study. T lymphocyte subsets and NK cells of the blood were measured before operation and one month after operation respectively. Children without the related disorders or systemic disease were recruited as control group.RESULTS Before operation, CD4+T cell percentage, CD4+/CD8+ ratio and NK cell percentage in OSAHS children were significantly lower than that in the control group[(26.19±3.38)%vs (5.10±4.09)%, (0.90±0.19)%vs (1.61±0.52)%, (11.45±4.35)%vs (13.73±3.78)%,P<0.05], CD8+T cell percentage was significantly higher than that in the control group[(30.02±5.50)%vs (22.31±3.42) %,P<0.05]. The difference, between the two groups, in CD3+T cells was not statistically significant. After operation, the CD4+T cells, CD8+T cells, CD4+/CD8+ ratio, the percentage of NK cells and CD3+T cells showed no significance difference compared with that before operation (P>0.05). CONCLUSION OSAHS may damage the cellular immune function. The operation does not reduce the cellular immune function in the short term.

Objective To investigate the outcomes of arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation with cannulate lag screw for avulsion fracture of tibial intercondylar anterior eminence.Methods From May 2004 to December 2007,30 cases of tibial intercondylar anterior eminence avulsion fracture were treated by arthroscopic reduction and fixation with cannulated lag screw.Among the patients,there were 10 females and 20 males,ranging from 15 to 79 years old with an average age of 32.0.There were 12 fresh fractures and 18 old fractures.According to Meyers-McKeever-Zaricnyl's classification systems,there were 8 cases of type Ⅱ,15 cases of type Ⅲ,and 7 cases of type Ⅳ.Patients were encouraged to do postoperative rehabilitation,such as active joint extension and flexion,exercise of isometric contraction of quadriceps femoris.The treatment outcomes were evaluated by Lysholm and Irrgang knee score system.Results All patients were followed up for 3 months to 60 months(averaging 31.2 months).X rays revealed bony healing 2 months after operation.The joints were stable.Negative Lachaman and drawer and jerk tests were found in all cases,and there was no dysfunction in the knee joints.Lysholm scores were increased from(60.8?1.5)to(95.5?3.5)while Irrgang scores increased from(55.5?3.3)to(90.5?2.5).Conclusion Arthroscopic treatment of avulsion fracture of tibial intercondylar anterior eminence is an easy approach with minimal invasion,and has reliable reduction and fixation with satisfied results.

The composition, nutritional evaluation and clinical trials of a nutritionally complete enteral preparation were presented. It was composed of glucose oligosaccharides, emulsified fat, solubilized proteins, twelve vitamins, certain minerals and trace elements. Rats were forced to negative nitrogen balance by means of protein-free diet. Body weight and serum total protein declined accordingly. When the feed was changed to this preparation in one group, and a routine one with equal nitrogen content in another, nitrogen balance was turned to positive, body weight increased, serum total protein returned to normal in both groups. The increments of nitrogen balance and body weight were, however, higher significantly in the group fed with the preparation than that with routine diet. The biological value, net protein utilization and protein efficiency ratio of the solubilized proteins in the preparation were higher than casein in the routine feed. Twenty surgical patients having the preparation as the sole source of nutrients could take around 8.37MJ(2000 kcal)a day. Nitrogen balance turned from negative to positive in an average time of 3.6 days. Body weight, serum total protein, serum albumin were all increased. Fourty patients took this as dietary supplement and the similar results were observed too. Clinical effects were excellent in all cases, especially for healing of surgical wounds and fistula. Incidence of diarrhea was 3.3%.
