Objective To investigate the incidence of fetal malnutrition( FM), its affected factors and their relationship with small - for gestational - age (SGA) fetus. Methods The intrauterinal growth of fetus was evaluated by the body weight of neonates and FM was detected by clinical assessment of nutritional status ( CANS ). Results ①33 out of 204 cases were found to be FM (16% ). FM in SGA group was significantly higher than that in AGA group ( 5.9% ) (x2 = 69.9, P < 0. 01 ).② When ot = 0. 05, the body weight and head circumference of neonates, the education level of mothers were included into logistic regression model, and their regression coefficient were negative. Conclusion SGA was supposed to be two of the risk factors in developing FM. Fetus with low body weight, small head circumference and not - so - well educated mother were prone to suffer from FM.

Objective: To study the influence of different inhibition conditions for center of rotation (CR) and regularity variations of CR before and after orthodontic treatment of embedded and inverted impact upper central incisor. Methods:Based on clinical findings a computer model of rolling movement was established,then computer finite element Super DrawnⅡwas applied to establish an analytic analogue computing model for calculation. Results:The deeper the crown embedded by hard tissue,the more the edgewise displacement of CR;while the crown was normally exposed,the moving locus tended toward front and upward. Conclusions: Perpendicular orthodontic force to the long axis of tooth forced point that close to the incisal margin and the partly embedded crown by the alveolar bone,especially the bone of lingual aspect are the main factors for the upward moving and erectness of the root apex. Possible subsidence of CR may be avoided by suitable early stage orthodontic treatment.

Objective To observe the regulatory effect of acupotomy lysis on SP level in spinal cord and tissues above spinal cord of rats with knee osteoarthritis.Methods 60 healthy SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group,model group,electro-acupuncture(EA)group,and acupotomy lysis(AL)group.Mix 4%papain solution with 0.3 mol/L cysteine solution in the ratio of 1∶1.After pausing for 0.5h,inject the mixture,20 μl each time,into the left knee joint cavities of rats in model,AL,and EA groups on the day of 1,4,7.After 4 weeks AL group was treated with acupotomy lysis and EA group with electro-acupuncture.Three weeks after treatment,take samples of spinal cord,midbrain,pituitary gland,thalamus,and hypothalamus from the swellings of rats'waists.Measure the content of SP therein separately.Results Compared with normal control group,there was a significant rise in the content of SP in spinal cord and the tissues above spinal cord of model group rats (P<0.05,P<0.01),and there was a significant rise in spinal cord,pituitary gland,thalamus and hypothalamus of EA group rats (P<0.05,P<0.01);in AL group,there was a significant rise in spinal cord,pituitary gland,thalamus,and there was no statistically difference in hypothalamus and midbrain.Compared with normal control group,there was a significant rise in spinal cord (P<0.05)and a significant decrease in the SP contents in hypothalamus(P<0.05,P<0.01)in EA group.There was no statistically difference between EA group and AL group except in hypothalamus(P<0.05).Conclusion Acupotomy lysis has positive functions in regulating SP content in centrum of rats with knee osteoarthritis,which helps easing pain.

Objective:To investigate the role of cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) in breast cancer metastasis and its possible mechanism. Methods: A total of 45 cases of primary breast cancer tissues and brain metastatic breast cancer tissues were collected from patients, who underwent mastectomy in Yunnan Cancer Hospital from October 2015 to April 2018, including 30 cases of primary lesions and 15 cases of brain metastasis. qPCR was used to detect the expression of COX-2 in breast cancer tissues and brain metastatic breast cancer tissues. Recombinant viruses with COX-2 over-expression (LV6-COX2) or COX-2 knockdown (LV3-COX2 shRNA1, LV3-COX2 shRNA2) were transfected into human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells; After obtaining the stable expression cell lines, the effect of COX-2 expression on the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cells was detected by CCK-8, and the effects of COX-2 expression on the migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells were detected by scratch test and Transwell assay, respectively. The mRNAand protein expressions of COX-2 in each group were examined by qPCR and WB, respectively. The effect of COX-2 expression on the expression of EMT-related genes in MDA-MB-231 cells was analyzed by qPCR. Results: The expression of COX-2 in tissues of patients with brain metastases was significantly higher than that in patients with primary breast cancer tissues (P<0.01), and it was correlated with tumor TMN stage in breast cancer patients. MDA-MB-231 cell lines with stable COX-2 over-expression/knockout were successfully constructed. Over-expression of COX-2 promoted the migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells (all P<0.01), and significantly increased the expressions of MMP2, MMP1, N-cadherin and vimentin (all P<0.01), but exerted insignificant effect on cell proliferation. The effect of COX-2 silence exerted the opposite effect and promoted cell proliferation (P<0.05). Conclusion: COX-2 is highly expressed in brain metastatic breast cancer tissues, which may promote the migration and invasion of breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells by regulating EMT processes.
