Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of periodontal mechanical therapy on periodontal health and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in type 2 diabetic patients with chronic periodontitis. Methods GCF samples were obtained with filter papers in first molar sites from 37 type 2 diabetic patients with chronic periodontitis. The randomized controlled and blinded clinical trial with a duration of six months was designed to compare effects between three groups of professional mechanical tooth cleaning (PMTC), i.e. coronal scaling (group Ⅱ) with periodontal initial therapy (group Ⅰ) and without clinical therapy (control group). The clinical periodontal index such as probing depth (PD), attachment loss (AL), modified bleeding index (mBI) and bacteria plaque index (PLI) were obtained with a Williams type periodontal probe. Laboratory examination including GCF volume, concentrations and total amounts of IL-6 in GCF were detected with ELISA method. Results Significantly decreasing trends of PD, AL, mBI, GCF volume and total amounts of IL-6 were observed in group Ⅰin all test period. The group Ⅱ had a significant reduction of PD at the third month as compared with baseline (⊿=0.36 mm, P＜0.05), and the other figures showed descending trends but didn′t present statistical significances. At the end of study, the group Ⅰand Ⅱ had significant reductions of GCF volume compared with increases of control group (0.96 μ1＞0.03 μ1mm＞-0.20 μ1, P＜0.05). Conclusions The sequential periodontal supra- and sub- gingival scaling has definitive effects on periodontal health improvement and on reducing the IL-6 level in GCF in type 2 diabetic patients.

TCM service trades are an inevitable choice for TCM development, and also one of the most important levels in the national development strategy pattern. For the Belt and Road, it is necessary to promote the rapid development of TCM service trades, not only for promoting transformation cross domain development of TCM industry in Gansu, but also for promoting Gansu economic and social development. Based on the analysis of the significance and opportunities of the TCM service trades, this article proposed the specific strategies for promoting the development of TCM service trades in Gansu Province.

Dendritic cells (DC) represent a heterogeneous cell population including many subsets. DC subpopulations with different characteristics and functions have been identified. The liver, as an immunological organ, is important in induction of immune tolerance. The unique anatomical architecture and immune properties of the liver have given DC the ability to maintain liver homeostasis and respond quickly to liver tissue damage. This article reviewed the role of hepatic DC subsets in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis and repair of damaged tissue in the liver.

BACKGROUND: Aseptic loosening occurs after long-term total hip replacement, which directly affects the service life and prospective efficacy of artificial joints. The particles produced by artificial joint wear lead to the surrounding bone dissolved, further cause loosening, among which, polyethylene particles because of acetabular liner wear stand out. OBJECTIVE: To systematically assess the acetabular liner wear, loosening and osteolysis caused by cross-linked polyethylene or conventional polyethylene after total hip arthroplasty. METHODS: A computer-based research of Medline, EMbase, CBM, CNKI, CqVip, WanFang databases before December 2015 and Cochrane (3rd issue, 2011) was performed in accordance with the retrieval strategy made by Cochrane collaboration. A manual retrieval of related bone journals and conference papers was conducted. Eleven randomized controlled trials about the wear caused by cross-linked polyethylene or conventional polyethylene after total hip arthroplasty were enrolled based on inclusion criteria, followed by a Meta-analysis using RevMan 5.0 software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Eleven randomized controlled trials involving 952 patients were included. (2) Meta-analysis showed that the acetabular liner wear rate of cross-linked polyethylene was significantly lower than that of conventional polyethylene at 5 years postoperatively [MD=-0.07, CI(-0.09, -0.05), I2=93%, P < 0.00001]; the large heterogeneity was decreased [MD=-0.06, 95%CI (-0.07, -0.04), I2=39%, P < 0.00001] after three research removed through sensitivity analysis. (3) The osteolysis rate in the cross-linked polyethylene group was significantly lower than that in the conventional polyethylene group [RR=0.39, 95%CI (0.27, 0.57), I2=0%, P < 0.00001]. (4) These results suggest that the cross-linked polyethylene liners exhibit reduced radiological wear and osteolysis, but the mean follow-up of 5 years (1.8 to 8.0) cannot meet the long-term requirements. Therefore, multi-central, large sample size and high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to testify the efficacy and safety of cross-linked polyethylene.BACKGROUND: Aseptic loosening occurs after long-term total hip replacement, which directly affects the service life and prospective efficacy of artificial joints.

Objective To investigate the neuroprotective effect of Dengzhan Shengmai capsule (DZSM) in rat cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and to explore the mechanism. Methods Rats were divided into Sham group, MCAO group, DZSM group, carbenoxolone (CBX) group and DZSM + CBX group. Each group was assessed for neurological function , infarct volume and the expression of Caspase-3 48 h after reperfusion. Connexin 43 (Cx43) expression of MCAO group was detected 3, 12, 24, 48 h after reperfusion. Results There were lower neurological deficit scores , infarct volume and the expression of Caspase-3 in DZSM , CBX and DZSM + CBX group 48 h after reperfusion when compared with those in MCAO group (P < 0.05) but Cx43 expression level in each group increased after reperfusion at each time point (P < 0.05). Expression of Cx43 was lower in DZSM, CBX and DZSM + CBX group than that in MCAO group (P < 0.05). Lower expression of Cx43 was also seen in CBX and DZSM + CBX group when compared with that in DZSM group (P < 0.05). Conclusion DZSM capsule can improve neurological function , reduce infarct volume and inhibit the expression of Caspase-3. The mechanism may be related to its inhibition of Cx43 expression.

Objective To evaluate the significance of human papillomavirus L1 capsid protein (HPVL1) and human telomerase RNA component (hTERC) gene in the cytologic specimens of cervix which was infected by the high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HR-HPV),and to expose their relationship with cervical lesions.Methods The fluorescence signal of cytologic samples of cervix were detected by interphase FISH in chromosome enumeration double-color DNA probes TERC.The expression of HPVL1 capsid protein was detected by MaxVision immunohistochemistry method.300 samples were analyzed with HR-HPV positive from the cervical biopsy.The diagnoses as normal or chronic inflammation (n =45),cervical intraepithelial lesions Ⅰ grade (CIN Ⅰ,n =95),CIN Ⅱ (n =58),CIN Ⅲ (n =64),and squamous cervical cancer (SCC,n =37).Results The percentage of HPVL1 positive rates in normal or chronic inflammation,CIN Ⅰ,CIN Ⅱ,CIN Ⅲ and SCC groups were 58.70 ％ (27/46),63.16 ％ (60/95),37.93 ％ (22/58),10.94 ％ (7/64) and 0 (0/37),respectively.The percentage of HPVL1 decreased along with the increase of severity of the cervical intraepithelial lesions.Genomic amplification of hTERC positive rates in normal or chronic inflammation,CIN Ⅰ,CIN Ⅱ,CIN Ⅲ and SCC groups were 6.52 ％ (3/46),11.58 ％ (11/95),51.72 ％ (30/58),85.94 ％ (55/64) and 100.00 ％ (37/37),respectively.The percentage of hTERC increased along with the severity of the cervical intraepithelial lesions (rs =0.302,P ＜ 0.01).The percentage of HPVL+/hTERC-was 57.89 ％ in CIN Ⅰ group and 4.69 ％ in CIN Ⅲ group.The percentage of HPVL-/hTERC+ was 6.32 ％ in CIN Ⅰ group and 79.69 ％ in CIN Ⅲ group.Conclusion The detection of HPVL1 and hTERC are important for assisting cervical lesions screening and monitoring of disease progression in the HR-HPV positive cytologic specimens.

Objective To discuss the feasibility and effects of cemented artificial bipolar arthroplasty for senile patients with femoral intertrochanteric instable fractures. Methods From January 2004 to June 2008,46 aged cases with femoral intertrochanteric instable fractures were cured with cemented artificial bipolar arthroplasty. According to improving-classfication of Evans,there were 19 cases with type Ⅲfractures and 27 cases with type Ⅳ fractures. Results All cases were successfully operated. The surgery time was 50-90 (68.00 ±20.43) minutes. Bleeding volume was 160-600 (210.00 ±40.26) ml. The time in hospital was 16-26 (19.30 ± 4.56) days. All cases were retrospectively reviewed for 6-39 (17.10 ± 4.33)months. Three cases died of other diseases, 43 cases were graded by the system of Harris. The Harris scale was 70-94 (86.70 ±5.16) scores,and the choiceness rate was 90.7%(39/43). No dislocation,loosening,subsidence and late infection occurred in all the implants. Conclusions Cemented artificial bipolar arthroplasty has good advantages of reduced laying up period and few complications. The short-term outcome is satisfactory.

[Objective] To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of propranolol in treating infantile hemangiomas.[Methods] Ninety children with hemangioma collected from July 2010 to November 2011 were recruited in this study.Oral propranolol was given at a dose of 1.5-2.0 mg/kg per day,and the dose was adjusted according to the growth of body weight.Patients were revisited every month for the observation of appearance of hemangioma.The following parameters,including blood glucose,alanine transarninase,aspartate aminotransferase,urea nitrogen,creatinine,creatine kinase,heart rate,blood pressure,electrocardiogram and ultrasound image of hemangioma,were monitored before and after the administration of propranolol.[Results] A rapid halt in haemangioma proliferation was seen in 91.1％ (82/91) of the patients within 24-48 hours after the administration of popranolol.After 1-10 months of treatment,haemangioma shrunk by 0-25％ with a lightening of lesional color in 8.0％ (7/88) of the patients,by 26％-50％ with an obvious lightening of lesional color in 39.8％ (35/88),by 51％-75％ with a marked lightening of lesional color in 26.1％ (23/88),and 26.1％ (23/88)of the patients achieved a shrinkage of more than 75％ or fading of lesional color.The 7-8 months of treatment leaded to the best outcome,followed by 5-6 months,3-4 months,and 1-2 months,of treatrnent.No rebound was observed in patients who stopped the treatment at 10 months to l year and 4 months of age.Usually during early stage of the therapy,some of the patients suffered from reduced diastolic blood pressure,sleep disorder,loose stools,hypoglycemia,cold extremities,bronchial hyperreactivity,elevated alanine transaminase/aspartate aminotransferase or creatine kinase isoenzyme,most of which were tolerable and relieved with or without symptomatic treatment.[Conclusion]s Propranolol can suppress the growth and accelerate the regression of hemangiomas in proliferative phase,and also can promote the subsidence of hemangiomas in regressive phase.The side effects of propranolol are usually mild,but still need close monitoring.

Objective To compare the anesthetic effects of interscalene brachial plexus combined with ulnar nerve and axillary brachial plexus block guided by nerve stimulator. Methods Eighty patients belonging to ASA ⅠorⅡ and undergoing replantation of severed palm or wrist were divided randomly into 2 groups, Each group had 40 patients. Nerve stimulator guided nerve block. Patients in groupⅠreceived interscalene brachial plexus combined with ulnar nerve block, and those in groupⅡreceived axillary brachial plexus block. The onset time, hold time, tourniquet tolerance of radial nerve, median nerve and ulnar nerve of two groups was recorded. The phrenic nerve block, Horner′s syndrome and recurrent laryngeal nerve block was compared between two groups. Results The onset time of radial nerve, median nerve and ulnar nerve in group Ⅰwas (5.13 ± 0.76), (7.13 ± 1.04), (3.23 ± 0.62) min , in group Ⅱ was (9.23 ± 1.61), (12.35 ± 1.76), (8.83 ± 1.13) min, and there were significant differences (P<0.05). The excellent rates of sensory block of radial nerve, median nerve and ulnar nerve in group Ⅰ were 90.0%(36/40), 85.0%(34/40), 97.5%(39/40), in group Ⅱ were 72.5%(29/40), 65.0%(26/40), 70.0%(28/40), and there were significant differences (P<0.05). The full rates of motor block of radial nerve, median nerve and ulnar nerve in groupⅠwere 75.0%(30/40), 37.5%(27/40), 80.0%(32/40), in groupⅡ were 47.5%(19/40), 40.0%(16/40), 45.0%(18/40), and there were significant differences (P < 0.05). The tourniquet tolerance rate in group Ⅰwas significantly higher than that in groupⅡ:90.0%(36/40) vs. 62.5%(25/40) , P<0.05. In groupⅠ, phrenic nerve block occurred in 2 patients, and Horner syndrome occurred in 1 patient. None had laryngeal recurrent nerve block in both group. Conclusions The interscalene brachial plexus combined with ulnar nerve block guided by nerve stimulator is more suitable for a long time microsurgery of the palm or wrist, because it takes action faster, has better sensory and motor block effects, improves the rate of tourniquet tolerance without increasing untoward reaction.

Objective To analyze of the prevalence of encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (EFVPTC) and noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP) by 2017 World Health Organization ( WHO) classification of tumors of endocrine organs in Guiyang. Methods A retrospectively analysis of patients who had a thyroid surgery and confirmed thyroid cancer by pathological diagnosis in the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from 2009 to 2016. PTC and FVPTC by 2014 WHO classification of tumors of endocrine organs , and according to the 2017 WHO classification of tumors of endocrine organs ,the thyroid papillary carcinomas were reviewed and some had been confirmed as EFVPTC and NIFTP, with analysis of the prevalence and prognosis of NIFTP. Results Of the 1207 cases of thyroid carcinoma, 1150 cases were papillary carcinoma, the constituent ratio of thyroid carcinoma was 95.28％, the FVPTC was 72 cases, and the proportion of thyroid carcinoma was 5. 97％; the proportion of FVPTC in thyroid carcinoma decreased from 2009 to 2016 ( P <0.05). After pathological sections being reviewed, 10 cases had been confirmed as non-encapsulated infiltrative FVPTC, the ratio of thyroid cancer to thyroid cancer was 0.83％; EFVPTC was found in 62 cases, accounting for 5.14％ of thyroid carcinoma, these included 2 cases of NIFTP confirmed by the 2017 WHO classification of tumors of endocrine organs and 60 cases encapsulated invasive FVPTC, the percentage of thyroid carcinoma was 0.17％ and 4.97％. 62 cases of EFVPTC with the exception of 11 cases without further visit, while the remaining 51 cases of EFVPTC were followed up. Death, local or distant metastases were defined as adverse events. An adverse event was seen in 11 of 49 of the cases of invasive EFVPTC, including 2 died of disease; The NIFTP were alive with no evidence of disease. Conclusion The diagnosis of NIFTP according to new WHO classification of endocrine organ tumors in 2017 has little expected impact in Guiyang.
