Objective To explore the relationship between oxidative stress and urinary tract infection (UTI) during pregnancy.Methods The urine superoxide dismutase (SOD),catalase (CAT) malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured in 188 pregnant women and 80 healthy women.Results UTI was observed in 39 of 188 pregnant women.The levels of CAT,SOD,and MDA were significantly increased in pregnant women compared to nonpregnant women [(CAT:7.47 ± 0.56) U/ml vs (4.56 ± 0.36) U/ml,P<0.01 ; SOD:(11.62 ±0.96) U/ml vs (10.25 ±0.89) U/ml,P <0.01 ; MDA:(2.46 ±0.22) nmol/mg vs (1.28 ± 0.11) nmol/mg,P < 0.01].The activities of CAT and SOD,and the level of MDA were significantly increased from the first trimester to the third trimester in pregnancy(P < 0.01).The activities of CAT in UTI group [(3.15 ± 0.49) U/ml were significantly lower that the non-UTI group (10.25 ± 0.89)U/ml] (P < 0.01).The activities of SOD in the UTI goup [(4.38 ± 0.37) U/ml were significantly lower than the non-UTI group (13.52 ± 1.11)U/ml] (P <0.01).The level of MDA in UTI group [(2.58 ±0.24) nmol/mg] was significantly higher than the non-UTI [(2.43 ±0.21)nmol/mg] (P < 0.01).The rate of UTI (20.74%) in the pregnancy was significantly higher than that in the nonpregnant women (10.00%) (P < 0.05).Conclusions Oxidative stress may be the cause of UTI in pregnant women.

0.05).Conclusion There is susceptibility correlation between the UC patients of north Chinese and the rising of C/T gene polymorphisms and T allele gene frequency in IL-1B +3962 site,but there isn't correlation between the gene polymorphisms in IL-1B +3962 site and different invasion location of UC of north Chinese.IFN-?+874 hasn't correlation with UC of north Chinese.

OBJECTIVE To explore the drug-resistant situation and patients′ basis condition of clinical isolated Enterococcus from Jan to Dec in 2008 to offer evidence for drug-resistant monitoring and clinical antibiotics usage.METHODS All clinical specimens were isolated and cultured and identification conform to Standard′ Operation.The bacteria were identified by using the automatic microorganism analyzer VITEK-2,and bacteria′s drug susceptibility tests were performed using counterparts panel.RESULTS 273 strains Enterococci were isolated,of which E.faecalis were 158 strains,E.faecium were 109 strains,the others were 6 strains.The isolated HLAR E.faecalis were 80 strains and HLAR E.faecium were 10 strains,the isolated.ratio of HLAR was different(P

The article searched ancient literature from pre-Qin to Qing Dynasty,researched the character meaning,implication of physique and spirit,and the historical evolvement process of view of physique-spirit unity(ghost theory-sporadic physique and spirit theory-systemic view of physique-spirit unity-view of physique-spirit unity combined with Chinese medicine)so that the view of physique and spirit can be applied to medical domain preferably,which will help the clinic diagnosis and treatment.

The theory of body and spirit is one of the basic theories of TCM; it plays an important role in the development of TCM theory system,and has guiding significance in the clinical practice.The connotation of theory of body and sprit is copious and text mining can find potential valuable information from plenty of message.We tried to use text mining to find the connotation of theory of body and sprit,and provided a new way to study the theory of TCM.

Treatment based on syndrome differentiation which is a complicated procession,is a characteristic of Chinese medical diagnosis and treatment.How to appraise the efficacy of treatment based on syndrome differentiation becomes a important question.Randomized controlled trial is called golden design of clinical trial,but it has a strict condition and a low compliance.Cohort study has a high clinical operation,but it is difficult to control bias.Stratified,polycentric and prospective cohort study can avoid the shortcomings of randomized controlled trial and cohort study.So,it can be a prospective design to appraise the curative efficacy of treatment based on syndrome differentiation.

Objective To observe the effect of Aitongping on c-fos gene expression and substance P(SP) content in spinal dorsal horn of rats with formalin-induced pain.Methods Fifty SD rats were randomized into 5 groups: blank control group,model group,tramadol group(0.06g/kg),high-and low-dose Aitongping groups(36 and 18g/kg respectively).Rats model of pain was induced by subcutaneous injection of formalin into the plantar surface of the left hind paw of rats.The fos gene expression and SP content were observed in superficial lamella of spinal dorsal horn of spinal section from the lumbar vertebrae L3 to L5 by immunohistochemical method.Results The number of neurons with fos gene expression positive and the optical density(D value) of reactants with SP expression positive were increased in the model group(P

Objective To study the effect of Guiji cream in the treatment of fissure and permeability of skin.Methods The models of fissure Japonic rabbits were established to observe the effects of skin cream on inhibiting fissure.Rabbits back area was divided into 6 blocks and given different medicines in six different groups:GuiJi cream group of low dosage,middle dosage and high dosage (0.05、0.1、0.2 g/m-2 crude drug of Bletilla colloid respectively),urea frost cream group(0.1 g/m-2),normal saline group and control group.Observe the changes of skin surface symptoms every day.The permeability test was performed on 36 KM mouse and randomly divided into control group,GuiJi cream group and urea frost cream group(0.2 g/m-2).Apply drugs to the back and observe the permeability change of cilia capillary,and auricle swelling degree in mice of each group.Results The curative criteria for Guiji groups was 3.8~4.1,the inhibition rate of auricular swelling was 75%.GuiJi cream could inhibit xylene-induced ear edema (P<0.05) ; the Inhibition rate of vascular permeability was 45.08%,The ear swelling induced by xylene and increased capillary permeability induced by acetic acid in mice were inhibited significantly (P<0.05) by Guiji cream which had obvious effects on fissure as well as the permeability.Conclusion Guiji chapped skin cream played significant functions in treating fissure and acting anti-inflammatory.
