Objective To study the producing method for Euphorbia pekinensis promoted by endophytic fungi.Methods The tissue culture plantlets were innoculated with endophytic fungi,then it was transplanted to the pods and cultured for one year.The biomass and content of terpenoids(isoeuphpekinensin and euphol)were determined.Results The growth of the E.pekinensis was promoted by endophytic fungi E4(Fusarium sp.Ⅰ)and E5(Fusarium sp.Ⅱ).The fresh weight of the root increased 49.45% and 59.74% for E4 and E5 treated,respectively.The plants dry weight coefficient increased 2.99% and 6.48% for E4 and E5 treated,respectively.The contents of isoeuphpekinensin and euphol in the plants were increased for tissue cultured in both bottles and pods.For the plants cultured in pods for one year,the isoeuphpekinensin and euphol increased 92.79% and 40%,respectively treated by E4.The isoeuphpekinensin and euphol increassed 105.32% and 241.38%,respectively treated by E5.Conclusion The endophytic fungi E4 and E5 could promote the growth of E.pekinensis and accumulated terpenoids.

Objective To translate and revise the Atrial Fibrillation-Quality of Life -18 (AF-QoL-18),and to test its reliability and validity. Methods The Chinese version of AF-QoL-18 was developed through the process of translation, back- translation, cultural adaptation, and preliminary experiment. A total of 187 atrial fibrillation (AF) patients in eight hospitals in Jiangsu province were investigated using the Chinese version to test the reliability and validity. Results Exploratory factor analysis identified three factors, including physiological, psychological and sexual dimensions, which could explain 65.055%of the total variance. The content validity index was 0.969. The Cronbach α coefficient was 0.915 and the retest reliability was 0.948 for the total scale. Conclusions The Chinese version AF-QoL-18 has proved to be reliable and valid.It can be used to measure the quality of life of AF patients in China.

Objective To explore the feasibility and effectiveness of aesthetic restoration of caries of mandibular deciduous incisors with strip crown form of maxillary deciduous incisors.Methods A total of 64 patients (202 teeth) with symmetrical caries of bilateral mandibular central incisors or lateral incisors were randomly selected.The opposite maxillary incisors were restored with strip crowns form and the opposite incisors were restored with resin composite.The effects of the two methods and the incidence of complications were compared three months,six months and twelve months after treatment.Results Three months after treatment,there was no significant difference in the success rate between the two groups.Six months after treatment,there was significant differencein the marginal adaptation between the two groups (x2 =3.919,P =0.048);12 months after treatment,there was significant difference in the restoration integrity of the two groups and the incidence of secondary caries (x2 =5.027,P =0.025;secondary caries x2 =4.369,P =0.037).Conclusions The strip crown form of maxillary primary incisors can be used for aesthetic restoration of caries of mandibular primary incisors,and its effect is better than that of direct resin filling.The strip crown form for mandibular primary incisors needs to be developed and produced urgently.
