Objective:To investigate the effects of modified Yunpi Huatan Decoction on obese patients with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).Methods:60 Cases of PCOS were divided into treatment group with 30 patients and control group with 30 patients randomly.Treatment group was given modified Yunpi Huatan Decoction and the control group was given Metformin.Both had treatment period of three months.To observe the improving of menstruation,level of hormone,BMI,WHR and index change of glucose and lipid metabolism.Results:After three months,treatment group was superior to the control group in improving menstruation(P

Objective To observe the effect of Sopfrology-Lamaze childbirth breathing training on the delivery quality and negative mood of pregnant women.Methods 218 pregnant women were sampled and randomly divided into study group(A group,n =122) and control group(B group,n =96).A group learned the method and technique of Sopfrology-Lamaze childbirth breathing.From 28th week pregnancy to delivery,the times of training was more than 3 per week,and lasted 20 minutes.The rate of cesarean delivery,rate of severe pain,the time of labor,the amount of bleeding after 2h labor,and the dosage of patient controlled analgesia were observed.The selfrating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale(SDS) were used to assess the mood of prengnat women in 28th week pregnancy,before and after labor.Results There were significant difference in rate of cesarean delivery(A group 7.4％,B group 17.7％,x2 =5.46,P ＜ 0.01),rate of severe pain (A group18.8％,B group 59.4％,x2 =37.9,P ＜ 0.05),amount of bleeding after 2h labor (A group (219.43-± 31.47) ml,B group (287.5 ± 37.83)ml,t =14.50,P ＜ 0.05),and the dosage of patient controlled analgesia (A group(13.25 ± 1.89)ml,B group (19.87 ±2.52)ml,t=21.43,P＜0.05) between A group and B group.The SAS and SDS scores were lower in A group (SAS:before labor(44.3 ±7.6),after labor(42.2 ±4.7) ;SDS:before labor(45.2 ±4.7),after labor(42.2 ± 5.1),P ＜ 0.05) than those in B group (SAS:before labor(48.5 ± 6.6),after labor(47.35 ±5.1) ; SDS:before labor(47.7 ± 5.3),after labor (46.6 ± 6.3),P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Sopfrology-Lamaze childbirth breathing training can improve the delivery quality and negative moods of pregnant women

[Objective] To compare the efficacy of Chinese traditional medicine,metformin and cyproterone on reducing insulin resistance,improve metabolic status of glucose and lipid and raise ovulation rate in women with polycysitic ovarian syndrome.[Methods] 100 women with PCOS were divided into three groups:40 patients chosen to be treated by Chinese traditional medicine.The rest were randomly divided into two groups which both contain 30 patients.One group is treated by metformin while another one is treated by cyproterone.Total 87 patients finished the treatment of three months.Basal body temperature(BBT),body mass index,total testosterone,fasting serum insulin and blood sugar levels as well as lipid spectrum were measured and compared among all the patients before and after treatment.[Results] No significant difference is found in the baseline characteristics among three groups before treatment.In Chinese traditional medicine group,90%(36/40)patients finished the treatment,and 33%(12/36)patients ovulated.In metformin group,86%(26/30)patients finished the treatment,and 19%(5/26)patients ovulated.In cyproterone group,83%(25/30)patients finished the treatment,and 16%(4/25)patients ovulated.Ovulation rate was significantly higher in Chinese traditional medicine group than those in metformin and cyproterone groups.There was significant difference between Chinese traditional medicine group and cyproterone group(P

Since 2002, H7 subtype avian influenza viruses (AIVs) have caused more than 100 human infection cases in the Netherlands, Italy, Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom, with clinical illness ranging from conjunctivitis to mild upper respiratory illness to pneumonia. On March 31st, three fatal cases caused by infection of a novel reassortant H7N9 subtype were reported in Shanghai City and Anhui Province in China. With the ability of H7 subtype to cause severe human disease and the increasing isolation of subtype H7 AIVs, we highlighted the need for continuous surveillance in both humans and animals and characterization of these viruses for the development of vaccines and anti-viral drugs.
