1.Mechanism of insulin resistance induced by bisphenol A
International Journal of Pediatrics 2013;(2):122-125
Bisphenol A(BPA) is one of the environmental endocrine disruptors with estrogenic properties,and it is also one of the most widespread compounds in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastics.Many studies confirmed that BPA exposure for long-term could lead to obesity,precocious puberty,insulin resistance (IR) et al.IR was defined as the decrease sensitivity in insulin action on the target tissues,which would result in impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes.A number of experiments and clinical investigations found that BPA could induce IR by affecting the function of islet beta cell,glucose transporter and adiponectin secretion.This review aims to summarize the mechanism of IR induced by BPA.

Objective To investigate the effect and the mechanism of parecoxib sodium pretreatment on permeability of blood-brain barrier in a rat model of focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.Methods Sixty male SD rats weighing 300g were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=12 each):sham operation group (group S);focal cerebral I/R group (group I/R);parecoxib sodium 5 mg/kg pretreatment group (group L);parecoxib sodium7.5mg/kg pretreatment group (group M);parecoxib sodium 10 mg/kg pretreatment group (group H) Middle cerebral artery occlusion models were made by reforming Longa suture method in SD rats.Thirty minutes before ischemia,rats in group L,M and H were injected with 5 mg/kg、7.5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg parecoxib sodium through the internal jugular vein.Group S and group I/R received equal volume of normal saline.ELISA technique was used to determine the content of S100 β,TNF-α,IL-1 β in Plasma.The changes of cerebral water content and the Evans Blue exudation from brain capillaries were observed.Results Pretreated with parecoxib sodium (5mg/kg、7.5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg),the content of S100 β,TNF-α,II-1 β in plasma were reduced.The cerebral water content and the EB in brain were reduced.Pretreated with parecoxib sodium 10 mg/kg,Longa scores were reduced.Conclusion Pretreatment with Parecoxib can protect blood-brain barrier against focal cerebral I/R injury by inhibition of the inflammatory reaetion.

Objective:To explore the relation between parental cohesion,peer acceptance and the loneliness of left-behind children,and furthermore explore the mediation role of self-esteem.Methods:Totally 427 left-behind children in Hubei Province (275 males,152 females) were surveyed,and the Parental Cohesion Scale (PCS),Peer Nomination (PN),Self-Esteem Scale (SES) and Children Loneliness Scale (CLS) were used to assess parental cohesion,peer acceptance,self-esteem and loneliness respectively.The relation between parental cohesion,peer acceptance andthe loneliness of left-behind children,and the mediation role of self-esteem wereanalyzed.Results:The CLS scores in left-behind children were negatively correlated with the scores of PCS,PN,and SES (r =-0.31,-0.37,-0.50,P < 0.01),the SES scoresplayed a mediation role in the relation between PN scores and CLS scores (95 % CI:-7.02--0.01),and between PCS scores and CLS scores (95 % CI:-0.18--0.09).Furthermore,the unique effect of the PN scores on the CLS scores (sr2 =0.10) was higher than that of PCS scores (sr2 =0.06).Conclusion:The current research indicates that the loneliness,parental cohesion,peer acceptance and self-esteem of the left behind children have a close relationship.Furthermore,it suggests that self-esteem may play partial mediating effects between parental cohesion,peer acceptance and the loneliness of left-behind children.

We treated 20 patients suffering from uncertainty statements syndrome (USS) with stellate ganglion block (SGB) therapy. The medical infrared thermography was examined before and after the SGB therapy. Analysis on the changes of surface temperature as well as the outcome of the patients was carried out. Among the mentioned 20 patients, 15 (75%) got obvious effect, 4 (20%) fairly good effect and 1 (5%) a little improvement after the SGB therapy. The corresponding surface temperatures of these patients were 1.32 +/- 0.27 degrees C, 0.97 +/- 0.31 degrees C, and 0.76 +/- 0.33 degrees C, respectively. The more the surface temperature changed, the better the efficacy of the therapy was. The medical infrared thermography may objectively represent the therapeutic effect of SGB on the USS.

Regenerative endodontic procedures, based on dental pulp biology, use the basic principles of tissue engineering to promote the functional regeneration of dental pulp-dentin complexes. Good results have been achieved in the treatment of young permanent teeth with pulp necrosis or apical periodontitis. There have also been preliminary clinical explorations of the treatment of mature permanent teeth in recent years. The key to successful treatment is controlling infection as well as promoting tissue repair and regeneration. Moderate root canal mechanical preparation is allowed in the therapy of mature permanent teeth, while it is not recommended in the treatment of young permanent teeth. The choice of root canal irrigation and intracanal antisepsis requires a comprehensive consideration of the antibacterial effects, biological safety, and possible complications, such as crown discoloration and root canal calcification. The development of bioceramic materials provides more options for crown sealing materials, but further clinical evaluation is needed. In addition to traditional blood clot scaffolds, new types of tissue scaffolds represented by platelet-rich plasma, platelet-rich fibrin, concentrated growth factors and other platelet concentrates have been developed. Long-term and large-scale studies are needed to evaluate the actual clinical efficacy of these new scaffolds and the efficacy of their combined application with blood clots.
