Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of Liyanjiedu decoction for the prophylaxis and treatment of acute radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC)and the influence to the effect of the radiotherapy to NPC.Methods A total of 96 patients with NPC were randomly divided into treatment group and control group,48 cases for each group.The two groups were given radical radiotherapy.The treatment group was given Liyanjiedu decoction for buccal.The control group were given western medicine for mouthwash.The course of two groups was all from the beginning of radiotherapy to the end of it.Results The occurring time of radiotherapy-induced mucositis in treatment group and control group were(21?4.2)d and(16?3.6)d,and radiotherapeutic dose were(40.252?11.758)Gy and(29.625? 11.632)Gy,with significant difference between the tow groups(P

Synovial sarcoma is a rare tumour found in soft tissue; it is a mesenchymal spindle cell tumour that is not related to the synovial membrane. This tumour has a low incidence, and the most frequent place of occurrence is the lower extremities in young adults. Synovial sarcoma of the head and neck accounts for 3%-5% of sarcomas in this anatomical region. The tumor in the nasal cavity is less than 1%. The treatment of choice for synovial sarcoma of the head and neck is complete surgical excision of the tumour mass followed by adjuvant radiotherapy.

AIM: To assess the effect of raloxifene, a selective estrogen modulator, on the transcriptional activity of estrogen responsive element (ERE) in vascular endothelial cells. METHODS: Vascular endothelial cells were transfected with ERE-TK-Luc reporter plasmid and PRL-SV40 control plasmid via FuGENE 6. The activities of firefly luciferase and renilla luciferase were measured with dual-luciferase reporter assay system. The transcriptional activity in transfected cells treated with raloxifene was compared with that in untreated cells. Furthermore, raloxifene was used to cotreat the cells with estradiol (E_2) and the influence of raloxifene to the effect of E_2 was assessed. RESULTS: Compared to untreated cells, the luciferase activity in cells treated with raloxifene decreased and showed significance at concentration of 10~(-7)mol/L (P

Objective : To investigate the characteristics of HIV/AIDS cases at ages of 15 to 24 years reported in Ningbo City from 2011 to 2021, so as to provide insights into AIDS control among adolescents. Methods : The epidemiological data regarding HIV/AIDS cases in Ningbo City from 2011 to 2021 were captured from the AIDS Comprehensive Prevention and Control Information System of Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System, and the temporal distribution, population distribution, and routes of infections and detection were descriptively analyzed. Results : A total of 1 218 HIV/AIDS cases at ages of 15 to 24 years were reported in Ningbo City from 2011 to 2021, accounting for 17.41% of totally reported cases, and the proportion of HIV/AIDS cases in total HIV/AIDS cases during the same year appeared a tendency towards a decline from 2011 to 2021 (χ2trend=17.170, P<0.001). There were 993 males (81.53%) and 225 females (18.47%), 123 students (10.10%) and 1 095 off-campus adolescents (89.90%), and 904 with non-local registered residence (74.22%). Sexual behavior was identified as the predominant route of HIV infections (97.45%), including 714 men who had sex with men (58.62%). There were 636 cases with passive testing (52.22%), 305 cases with active testing (25.04%) and 219 cases with diagnosis at sexually transmitted diseases clinics (17.98%). Conclusions Men, non-local registered residence and off-campus adolescents were predominant among HIV/AIDS cases at ages of 15 to 24 years in Ningbo City from 2011 to 2021, with men-men sexual behaviors as the predominant route of HIV infections.

Objective To complete an information chain to support stomatological materials purchase and providing manage-ment.MethodsThe main problems of the materials management information chain were analyzed.The system construction,technical architecture and function design were designed based on B/S and C/S structure.Results The vendor cloud platform completed the information chain for purchase and distribution of stomatological materials,and provided technical support to hospital consumables management.Conclusion The system normalizes stomatological materials management,guarantees the safety,timeliness and accuracy of materials supply,and thus is worthy applying practically.

This study aimed to analyze the etiology of the encephalitis outbreak in Longyan, Fujian Province, China in 2010, in order to provide valuable information for this prevention and control of this disease. Pathogens were confirmed from cerebrospinal fluid samples with fluorescent RT-PCR, virus isolation (RD cells), and neutralization tests. Then, the VP1 fragments or whole genome nucleotide sequences were determined for four virus strains using PCR. Homology was assessed using the MegAlign software, and a phylogenetic evolutionary tree was drawn using Mega 4.0 software. The results confirmed that the etiology of the outbreak was the ECHO6 intestinal virus, and the nucleotide sequence of the VP1 segment indicated that the C2 subtype was responsible. The genome sequence consisted of 7407 nucleotides, and resembled the genome of other ECHO and CoxB viruses with homology levels of 78.5%-87.3%. The encephalitis outbreak in Longyan in 2010 was caused by the ECHO6 C2 subtype intestinal virus, and its complete genome sequence length is similar to the standard strain (U16283) with a sequence homology of 80.4%.

Objective To explore the prevalence and physician's recognition of depression and anxiety disorder in gastrointestinal out-patients of three tertiary general hospitals in Beijing. Methods A hospital-based cross-sectional survey was conducted in the gastrointestinal out-patient departments of three tertiary general hospitals in Beijing from May to June 2007. Total 517 subjects were recruited consecutively within a one month period. All the subjects were screened with Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS). The subjects with HADS score of 8 and over were interviewed and diagnosed by psychiatrists using Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI). The physicians made the diagnosis and management without knowing the results of MINI and HADS score. Results Among the 517 cases, 301 had a HADS score of 8 and above and 244 were interviewed by psychiatrists; the response rate was 81.1%. The prevalence according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fourth edition of depressive disorders and anxiety disorders in gastrointestinal outpatients were 15.3%, depressive disorders were 12. 0%, anxiety disorders were 6. 4%, depression combined anxiety disorder was 3. 0%. The prevalence of depression, anxiety, depression combined anxiety were not different between genders (x2 = 0. 874, x2 = 1.797,x2 =0.518, P >0.05) and among different age group ( 18-34, 35-54, ≥55 years old) (x2 = 1. 084,2 = 2. 735, 2 = 0. 350, P 0. 05 ). Gastritis and gastrointestinal dysfunction were the major diagnoses in patients with depression and/or anxiety disorders, the rates were 30. 6% and 26. 4% respectively. The rate of identification of depression and anxiety disorder by physicians was 2. 8%. Conclusion Gastrointestinal out-patients have a high prevalence of depression and anxiety disorder and the rate of identification by physicians was very low.
