Substantial evidence supports the relationship between chronic inflammation and cancer development. Numerous studies suggest that chronic inflammatory disease, such as periodontitis, contributes to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma development. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common malignant tumor in the oral and maxillofacial regions. Porphyromonas gingivalis, one of the most important pathogens in association with periodontal disease, might have a potential correlation with OSCC. Along with the development of molecular biological techniques, the association between Porphyromonas gingivalis and OSCC has been greatly emphasized in recent years. This review summarizes the association between these variables and the potential mechanisms involved in such relationship.

Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2013;20(21):3254-3255
Objective To investigate the changes and significance of platelet parameters and leucocyte in the children suffered from mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP).Methods The platelet parameters (PLT),the platelet volume(MPV),the platelet distribution width (PDW),and the white blood cell count(WBC) were detected by automatic blood cell analyzer respectively in 300 children with MPP before and after the treatment by macrolides antibiotics for a week as well as in 40 normal children.The comparison was made among them.Results There were 156 cases that suffered from thrombocytosis (PLT > 300 × 109/L) in MPP group,the incidence rate was 52.0%(156/300).While there was 1 case with thrombocytopenia,the incidence rate was 0.3% (1/300).The WBC,MPV and PDW in MPP group before and after one-week treatment were higher than the control group.And the PLT was higher than the initial stage of hospitalization and the control group.The differences had statistical significance.Conclusion The incidence rate of thrombocytosis was high in the children suffered from MPP.The dynamic observation of platelet parameters and WBC in children with MPP could be used as the elementary basis of judging MP infection.
4.Analysis of Anion Gap in Premature Suffered from Hyperbilirubinemia
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2012;(22):3379-3380
Objective To investigate the changes of the anion gap(AG)in the premature suffered from hyperbilirubinemia,to provide the basis for treatment.Methods The serum electrolyte,the renal function and the liver function in 94 premature babies suffered from hyperbilirubinemia were tested,and then calculated the value of AG,while the arterial blood gas analyses were done in 36 cases.Results 44 cases had high AG(46.81%),44 cases had normal AG(46.81%)and 6 cases had low AG(6.38%).The increase of AG was directly proportional to the concentration of Na+in blood,while was inversely proportion to the concentration of HCO3-.There was no close relationship between the AG and BUN,Scr in the serum.Conclusion The incidence rate of metabolic acidosis poisoning was high in premature suffered from hyperbilirubinemia with high AG,so the routine test of blood electrolyte,renal function and arterial blood gas should be done.Calculate the value of AG to guide the treatment,and to avoid correcting the acid by the alkali blindly.

Objective To study the effects of combined telmisartan and ramiprll on heart function and renin - angiotensin - aldoste-tone system and ventricle remodeling and brain natriuretie peptide in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods 100 patientswith chronic heart failure were randomly divided into three groups: telmisartan group (A group, treated with telmisartan 80mg once daily, n =33), ramipril group (B group treated with ramipril 5mg once daily, n =33) and telmisartan plus ramipril group (treated with telmis-artan 40mg plus ramipril 2.5mg once daily, n = 34). Left ventricular end - diastolic dimensions (LVEDD) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were assessed, and plasma renin activity (Ren) , angiotensinIl (Angll), aldosterone (Aid) and brain natriuretic pep-tide (BNP) were measured before and after therphy. Results After 6 months of treatment, LVEDD and LVEF were improved in all groups(P < 0.01). All changs were significant in C group than those in A group or B group(P < 0.01). The concentration of Ren were in-creased in all groups(P <0.01). The concentration of Angll was increased in A group and decreased in B group(P <0.01)while there was no difference at pre or post treatment in C group (P > 0.01). The concentration of Ald and BNP was decreased in all groups (P < 0.01). Ald and BNP were decreased more significantly in C group than those in A group or B group. Conclusion Combination of low dose of telmisartan and ramipril therapy has more benificial clinical features than telmisartan or ramipril alone in patients with CHF.
