OBJECTIVE:To investigate the curative effect and economics of prostaglandins drugs in the treatment of glauco-ma,and to provide reference for clinical medication. METHODS:In retrospective study,a total of 790 glaucoma patients were di-vided into latanoprost group(62 cases),travoprost group(356 cases)and bimatoprost group(372 cases)according to therapy regi-men. They were given relevant medicine. Total effective rate of 3 groups were calculated,and the cost-minimization method was used for pharmacoeconomics evaluation. RESULTS:The total effective rate of 3 groups were 87.10%,84.27%,76.08% respective-ly,without statistical significance(P>0.05). The cost of them were 208.00 yuan,225.00 yuan and 173.00 yuan,and that of bima-toprost group was the lowest. The results of sensitivity analysis was in line with that of cost-minimization analysis. CONCLU-SIONS:For glaucoma,bimatoprost is more economical than latanoprost and travoprost.

Objective To study the influence of local administration of Icariin on orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption (OIIRR ).Methods After rat models of orthodontic root movement were successfully established,rats were injected with 200 mg/kg Icariin (Icariin group)or saline (positive control group), respectively.Left maxillary served as the negative control group.The resorption pit of root surface was measured using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), HE staining, and tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP ). Results The level of TRAP positive cells and root resorption score in Icariin group were significantly lower than those in the positive control group (P < 0.05 ).Each measured value differed significantly between thenegative control group and the positive control group (P <0.05).The level of TRAP positive cells was significantly different (P <0.05),while root resorption scores did not differ between Icariin group and the negative control group (P >0.05).Conclusion Local administration of Icariin may reduce the degree of orthodontically induced resorption.

Objective To investigate the relationship of serum resistin and pancreatic necrosis in the patients with severe acute pancreatitis. Methods Twenty-eight patients with SAP admitted to our hospital from March 2008 to November 2008 were divided into two groups according to the CT scan imaging: necrotic group and non-necrotic group. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to test the serum resistin levels. An ROC curve was depicted to predict the pancreas necrosis. Results There were 21 patients in the non-necrotic group and 7 in the necrotic group, and there was no significant difference in terms of sex, age and baseline disease (P>0.05). The resitin levels ranged from 0.1730 ng/ml to 7.4923 ng/ml, with a mean (3.7102±1.6987) ng/ml. The area under the curve of resistin values was 0.884±0.108 (95%CI:0.672～1.097), asymptote signals 0.003, then it was calculated that P=0.003, which was>0.50. Conclusions The serum resistin may be of clinical value to predict the pancreatic necrosis.

Background: Resistin level is high in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), and resistin is expected to be a new marker for evaluating the severity of acute pancreatitis. Objective: To explore the influence of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy on serum resistin levels in SAP patients. Design, setting, participants and interventions: Twenty-eight SAP patients meeting inclusion criteria from Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, West China Hospital, Sichuan University were included, and the patients were randomly divided into treatment group and placebo group. There were 13 patients in the treatment group and 15 patients in the placebo group. Patients in the treatment group were given traditional Chinese herbal medicine in addition to the conventional treatment. Patients in the placebo group were given placebo in addition to the conventional treatment. Main outcome measures: The serum resistin levels on admission, and days 1, 3, 5, and 7 after the admission were detected. Results: The serum resistin levels on admission in all the patients were higher than normal level, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). On days 1, 3, 5, and 7 after admission, the resistin levels in the treatment group were (3.29+/-1.66) mu g/L, (3.71+/-1.05) mu g/L, (3.08+/-1.47) mu g/L and (3.62+/-1.67) mu g/L, and in the control group (5.16+/-1.93) mu g/L, (5.07+/-1.53) mu g/L, (4.88+/-1.47) mu g/L and (5.12+/-1.48) mu g/L, respectively. The resistin levels were lower in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Serum resistin level in SAP patients can be decreased by integrated traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine therapy.

Objective:To explore the association between different feeding patterns, emotional states, and salivary oxytocin (OT) levels during breastfeeding.Methods:From January to December 2019, 153 pairs of 3-month-old infants and their mothers were recruited from 4 maternal and child health hospitals in Chongqing, Liuzhou, Dalian and Hangzhou in China.Saliva samples were collected from the mothers at the first 5 minutes of feeding, 5 minutes during feeding, and 10 minutes after feeding.Edinburgh postnatal depression scale (EPDS) was used to evaluate maternal depression.Infants were divided into exclusive breastfeeding group and artificial feeding group according to feeding patterns.ELISA of salivary oxytocin was performed by ELISA kits, and the OT levels measured at the 3 time points were converted using linear interpolation.Area under the curve with respect to ground(OTAUCG) was used to represent the total concentration of salivary OT during the mother's breastfeeding.SPSS 25.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Multiple linear regression analysis and two factors analysis of variance were used to explore the association between different feeding methods, emotional state and salivary oxytocin during breastfeeding.Results:The results of the two factors analysis of variance showed that the interaction between feeding pattern and mother's emotion was not significant ( F=2.440, P=0.120), the main effect of mother's emotion was not significant ( F=0.380, P=0.539), and the main effect of feeding style was significant ( F=3.350, P=0.021). The level of OTAUCG under pure breastfeeding ((151 561.47±75 738.11) pg/mL) was higher than that under artificial feeding ((122 269.03±65 029.88) pg/mL), and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.02). There was no statistically significant difference in OTAUCG levels between mothers with normal emotions ((146 106.37±75 106.76) pg/mL) and mothers with depressed emotions ((129 079.56±67 565.87) pg/mL) ( P=0.221). Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that artificial feeding had a negative predictive effect on maternal salivary OT levels compared to exclusive breastfeeding( β=-0.211, t=-2.513, P=0.013). Conclusion:Feeding pattern is a factor that affects the mother's salivary OT level, and breastfeeding can improve the mother's OT level.

Objective: To explore the plasma metabonomic characteristics of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and turbid toxin accumulation syndrome. Methods: One hundred and three patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and turbid toxin accumulation syndrome were enrolled from November 2023 to February 2024 in the First Teaching Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and 54 healthy individuals were recruited. The general data of the two groups were analyzed, and the plasma metabolite content was detected using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-Orbitrap mass spectrometry. Construct an orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis model to screen metabolites with significant intergroup changes. The variable importance in projection≥ 1, |log2FC|>1, and P<0.05 were used as the criteria for the screening of differential metabolites. Annotate differential metabolites using internal databases and the human metabolome database, and perform pathway analysis using MetaboAnalyst website. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in gender and age between the two groups.Seventeen potential differential metabolites were identified. The D-4′-phosphopantothenate, 2, 6-dichloroindophenol, 4-methylphenol, hypoxanthine, 11, 12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, oleamide, 3-phenyllactic acid contents were higher in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and turbid toxin accumulation syndrome than in healthy individuals(P<0.05); 3-anisic acid, 3-iodo-octadecanoic acid, mebendazole, β-alanine, citric acid, trans-aconitic acid, geranyl diphosphate, lysophosphatidylcholine(18∶2), phosphatidylethanolamine(18∶1), and caprolactam contents were lower in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and turbid toxin accumulation syndrome than in healthy individuals(P<0.05). Ten metabolic pathways were identified, including the key metabolic pantothenate and coenzyme A biosynthesis pathways. Conclusion Metabolic differences were observed between patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and turbid toxin accumulation syndrome and healthy individuals, and the underlying mechanism may involve the pantothenate and coenzyme A biosynthesis pathways, jointly mediated by D-4′-phosphopantothenate and β-alanine.
