Objective To investigate the safety and feasibility of Minocycline Hydrochloride Ointment and metronidazole membrane in the treatment of periodontal abscess.Methods80 cases of patients with periodontal abscess in our hospital from May 2014 to May 2016 were selected, these patients were randomly divided into Minocycline Hydrochloride Ointment group (n=40) and metronidazole membrane group (n=40) two groups, the periodontal probing depth, gingival bleeding index, plaque index, attachment loss, clinical efficacy, the incidences of adverse reactions and recurrence of the two groups were statistically analyzed.ResultsThe periodontal probing depth, gingival bleeding index, plaque index, attachment loss of the Minocycline Hydrochloride Ointment group were significantly lower (P<0.05), the total treatment efficiency 95% (38/40) was significantly higher than the metronidazole membrane group 77.5% (31/40) (P<0.05), the recurrence rate 2.5% (1/40) was significantly lower than the metronidazole membrane group 15% (6/40) (P<0.05), but the difference of the incidences of adverse reactions 10% (4/40), 7.5% (3/40) between the two groups was not significant.ConclusionMinocycline Hydrochloride Ointment metronidazole membrane in the treatment of periodontal abscess has higher safety and feasibility than metronidazole membrane, so is worthy of promotion in the clinical.

Objective To analyze the clinical manifestations,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of patients with splenic abscess.Method The clinical data,including baseline clinical data,clinical features,past history,pathogen culture result,treatment and the prognosis were retrospectively analyzed in the patients with the discharge diagnosis splenic abscess from January 1991 to March 2012 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital.Results The media time from onset to Peking Union Medical College Hospital of the 19 patients were 29 days.Among them,9 patients were cured,8 were improved and 2 died.Risk factors,such as tumor burden,diabetes,and using immunosuppressive agents etc,can be found in most patients with splenic abscess.All the 19 patients had splenic image changes and non-specific clinical features.The most common three clinical symptoms were fever(18 cases),chills (12 cases) and shivering (11 cases).The most common three signs were abdominal tenderness (9 cases),left upper quadrant sensitive to percussion (7 cases) and splenomegaly (4 cases).The most common etiological culture results were gram negative bacilli (9 cases),gram positive coccus (8 cases),and fungi (4 cases).Conclusions Clinical features are non-specific in splenic abscess patients.Related exam such as ultrasound should be performed on patients with splenic abscess risk factors to avoid misdiagnosis.Empiric antibiotic administration should begin right after the diagnosis based on the image.Pathogen culture should be timely conducted after pus collection.Individual therapeutical protocol should be chosen according to patient's condition.

Objective To evaluate role of intracoronary electrocardiogram (IcECG) in examining early myocardial damage during elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Eighty-six patients of coronary heart disease with normal serum levels of creatine kinase-myoglobin (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) before the procedure and undergone elective PCI were enrolled in the study.Their IcECG were recorded by a intracoronary guidewire and serum levels of CK-MB and cTnT were measured at baseline and eight and 24 hours after the procedure, respectively. The patients were divided into two group, abnormal and control, according to whether they had significant shift at ST-segment in IcECG.Cardiac events after intervention in the patients were followed-up and recorded. Myocardial damage was defined as serum level of cTnT increased to above the upper normal value after intervention. Results Significant shift at ST-segment in IcECG during PCI in 30 (35%, abnormal group) and no shift in other 56patients (65%, control group) of 86 patients with normal serum levels of cardiac markers before the procedure was observed, and all the procedure were successful Serum levels of cTuT and CK-MB significantly increased after intervention in 30 patients of abnormal group than those in control one ( P <0. 01 ). Sensitivity of intracoronary ST-segment shift was 77 percent for predicting myocardial damage, and specificity was 94 percent, with positive and negative predictive values of 90 percent and 86 percent,respectively. More cardiac events were observed at 4-week follow-up after intervention in abnormal group than those in control one (P<0. 05) and major coronary event-free survival was significantly lower in those with post-procedural ST-segment elevation in IeECG (P < 0. 05). Conclusions ST-segment shift in IcECG may be helpful for predicting myocardial damage during PCI procedure on time.

Objective To evaluate the validity and reliability of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) in preoperative TNM staging judgment of rectal carcinoma. Methods Three hundred and one patients with rectal carcinoma were diagnosed and treated consecutively in Colorectal and Anal Surgery Department of Shanxi Province Tumor Hospital from January 2009 to December 2009. The clinical data of these patients were analyzed retrospectively. The diagnosis results were compared between the preoperative MSCT staging and the postoperative pathological staging,the ROC curve and the diagnostic concordance test were analyzed by software Medcalc 11.2. Results The sensitivity, specificity, Kappa value, area under the curve of TNM staging were 64.7% ,96. 8% ,0. 667,0. 808 for T2 staging tumors; 93.8% ,75.0% ,0.709,0.844 for T3 staging tumors;87. 8% ,98. 1% ,0. 859,0. 929 for T4 staging tumors; 72. 0% ,91.2% ,0. 619,0. 816 for N staging tumors;92. 7%, 99. 7%, 0. 925,0. 963 for M staging tumors respectively. Conclusion The diagnostic value of independent use of MSCT in estimating the infiltration degree and lymph node metastasis of rectal cancer is very poor and cannot be used in preoperative staging judgment.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the potential protective effect of Achyranthes bidentata polysaccharides (ABP) on diabetes mice induced by streptozocin. METHODS Male ICR mice were divided into normal control, diabetes model and ABP 50 and 100 mg·kg~(-1) (ip, once daily for 15 d) treatment groups. On the day before ABP administration and after ABP administration for 8 and 15 d, the blood glucose content was detected with a glucometer and intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test was also conducted. After ABP administration for 15 d, the mice were sacrificed and body weight, heart, liver, spleen and kidneys weights were measured. The serum insulin concentration was determined by radioimmunoassay kit. The serum activities of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and serum concentrations of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), calcium and phosphorus were measured by colorimetric method. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was employed to detect the concentrations of leptin, adiponectin, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in serum. RESULTS Compared with mice in normal control group, the body weight and serum insulin concentration decreased and blood glucose increased in diabetic model mice. ABP 50 and 100 mg·kg~(-1) treated mice were able to normalize glucose concentrations better following a glucose tolerance test, and the blood glucose level decreased by 27.4% and 16.3%, respectively, compared with that of diabetic model mice. The relative weights of spleen and kidneys, blood glucose level, serum TG and TC concentrations, and GOT, GPT and ALP activities in mice treated with ABP 50 mg·kg~(-1) were obviously lower than those of diabetes model mice. Serum leptin concentration was also markedly decreased near to normal level. However, serum concentrations of adiponectin, TNF-α and IL-6 were significantly increased comparing with diabetes model mice. ABP 100 mg·kg~(-1) had no obvious effect on serum TG and TC levels, and GPT and ALP activities. Its effects on the other parameters indicated above were similar to those in ABP 50 mg·kg~(-1) group. For the serum concentrations of insulin, calcium and phosphorus, no statistical difference could be observed among the different groups. CONCLUSION ABP possesses protective effect against streptozocin-induced diabetes in mice.

Objective To explore the protective effect and mechanism of gardenoside on the damage of dopaminergic neurons induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Methods Both neuron-enriched cultures and neuron-astrocyte cultures were pretreated with vehicle or gardenesides ( 10, 20 and 40 mg/L) for 30 min at 37℃. The culture media were subsequently renewed in order to remove gardenesides. LPS was then added into all culture media at a final concentration of 10 mg/L Twenty-four hours later, the culture media was collected to measure TNF-α, NO, IL-6, GDNF and MMP-9; the cells were collected to count the number of cells labeled with an antibody against tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and to assess the expression of TH mRNA using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Results Gardeneside didn't promote the survival of dopaminergic neurons in neuron-enriched culture, but significantly increased the survival of dopaminergic neurons in neuron-astrocyte culture, compared with the vehicle group, the survival of dopaminergic neurons increased from 203.0%±17.4% to 256.7%±15.2% ( F = 17.22, P = 0.001 ) in 40 mg/L gardenaside group. The amount of TNF-α, NO and GDNF released from the neuron-astrocyte cultures after 24 h of addition of LPS was not changed significantly, while the expression of IL-6 and MMP-9 was increased significantly. In this study, the gardenoside concentration-dependently attenuated the LPSinduced increase of the expression of IL-6 and MMP-9, compared with the vehicle group, the expression of IL-6 and MMP-9 decreased to 67.2%±6.4% (F= 12.89,P =0.001 ), 77.3%±9.8% (F =8.27,P = 0.001 ) respectively in 40 mg/L gardenoside group. Conclusions Astrocytes play a neuroprotective role on dopaminergic neurons, which is decreased by LPS via inducing the secretion of pro-inflammatory factors. Gardeneside may protect dopaminergic neurons from LPS-induced injury in an astrocyte-dependent manner and it inhibits the production of proinflammatory factors instead of promoting the secretion of GDNF. From the point of view that a very low toxicity of gardenesides has been well documented, this report may reveal a new way of developing therapeutic interventions for inflammation-related diseases such as Parkinson's disease.

Teaching reform for medical statistics in postgraduate students was undertaken in order to comply with the longitudinal thought of medical research and to cultivate student's abilities of solving actual problems. The contents of theory courses and practicum courses were re-enacted and some advanced statistical methods commonly used in medical research were added. Meanwhile,the contents of practicum courses were reformed following the guideline of ‘application of statistics in the research’ and the teaching method of task-driven teaching combined with problem-based learning was used in the process. Furthermore, evaluation on the teaching effect was made. The reformed teaching model greatly excited student's learning enthusiasm and developed their abilities of applying statistics in scientific research.
