ObjectiveTo study the fluoride level of preschool children influenced by fluoride toothpaste. MethodsAbout 200 children aged 3~6 years old were involved in the test. The children of test group were given fluoride toothpaste while the children of control group were given non-fluoride toothpaste. After two months, hair samples were gasified by high temperature and were tested with fluoride-specific electrode. Urinary fluoride concentration and 24h urinary fluoride excretion were also conducted by using fluoride-specific electrode.ResultsIt shows that the 24h urinary fluoride excretion and the fluoride concentration in hair and urine of children in control group were apparently lower than those of children in test group.ConclusionFluoride toothpastes used by preschool children may result in the change of fluoride level in their bodies under the stability of their daily habits and living cir cumstances. Age is likely to be one of the facts that can influence the fluoride ingestion level.

Objective: To observe influence of exercise on expressions of peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) and glucose transporter-4 (Glut-4) in skeletal muscle tissue of mice with insulin resistance (IR) induced by high fat diet, and preliminarily investigate mechanism of swimming training improves IR. Methods: A total of 30 eight-week-old healthy male C57BL /6J mice were randomly divided into normal diet group (n=10), high fat diet group (n=10) and high fat diet + exercise group (HE group, n=10, mice received 12-week swimming training). Body weight and fasting blood glucose (FBG) of mice were measured every week. After 12-week swimming training, fasting insulin (FINS) was measured by radioimmunoassay and IR index (IRI) was calculated; expressions of PPAR-γ and Glut-4 mRNA in skeletal muscle tissue were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results: Compared with normal diet group, body weight significantly increased in high fat diet group; body weight of HE group was significantly lower than that of high fat diet group (P<0.05). Compared with normal diet group, there were significant increase in FINS, FBG and IRI in high fat diet group and HE group (P<0.01). Compared with high fat diet group, there were significant decrease in FINS [(14.00±7.12) mmol/L vs. (10.17±3.88) mmol/L], FBG [(9.49±1.28) mmol/L vs. (8.03±1.67) mmol/L] and IRI [(1.47±0.38) vs. (1.06±0.27), P<0.05 all], and significant increase in expressions of PPAR-γ [(0.95±0.17) vs. (2.37±0.41)] and Glut-4 mRNA [(0.68±0.24) vs. (1.54±0.28), P<0.01 both] in HE group. Conclusions: Exercise may significantly improve insulin resistance, and the mechanism may be related with upregulation of expressions of PPAR-γ and Glut-4 mRNA in skeletal muscle, regulation of glucose metabolism and promotion of transduction of insulin signal.

Objective To explore the traditional Chinese and western medication principle of treating epilepsy based on text mining, and provide a reference for clinical use. Methods Based on the literature data of treatment of epilepsy collected in CBM database, we explored the medication principle of both traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine for treating epilepsy by frequency statistical data based on sensitive keywords hierarchical algorithm, retro-read and manually noise reduction. These laws displayed by the frequency of one-dimensional and two-dimensional network diagram. Results Commonly used drugs in western medicine treatment for epilepsy are phenobarbital, phenytoin, valproate, carbamazepine and diazepam. Traditional Chinese medicine commonly used are Angongniuhuang Pill, Qingkailing Injection, Wumei Pill, Tongxinluo Capsule, Compound Danshen Dripping Pill, Xuefuzhuyu Capsule, etc. When traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine are combined used, the most commonly used traditional Chinese medicine are Angongniuhuang Pill, Qingkailing Injection and Compound Danshen Tablet, western medicine are phenobarbital, valproate, carbamazepine and diazepam. Common syndromes are yin deficiency of liver and kidney, deficiency of kidney yin, heart tangled by sputum, deficiency of yin, heart disturbance by sputum and fire. Conclusion Text mining technology can be used for summary of medication principle of treating epilepsy and of epilepsy syndrome, thus provide useful exploration and reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To study the synthesis and degradation of collagen at the transcription level during liver fibrosis in rabbits with schistosomiasis japonica. Methods New Zealand rabbits infected with Schistosoma japonicum cercariae were served as animal models of liver fibrosis. The liver specimens were collected through operations at 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 28 weeks after infection. TypeⅠcollagen, type Ⅲ collagen, type Ⅳ collagen, MMP\|1 and MMP\|9 mRNA levels of liver tissue were detected by RT\|PCR plus dot blotting, and the size of egg granulomas and the degree of liver fibrosis were measured by histopathological examinations. Results TypeⅠcollagen, type Ⅲ collagen, type Ⅳ collagen, MMP\|1 and MMP\|9 mRNA levels increased simultaneously in the early stage after the infection, mostly reaching their peaks at 10 weeks after infection. Compared with normal controls, type Ⅰ collagen, type Ⅲ collagen, type Ⅳ collagen, MMP\|1 and MMP\|9 mRNA levels increased by 12\^0 , 11\^0 , 6\^6 , 10\^0 and 11\^0\|fold, respectively, coinciding with the changes of egg granulomas. Thereafter, both collagen and collagenase mRNA levels decreased. TypesⅠ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ collagen mRNA levels declined to 2\|fold to 3\|fold compared with normal controls ( P 0\^05) at 28 weeks. This study showed that the synthesis and degradation of collagen remained dynamic balance in the early stage of schistosomiasis, while in the later stage the metabolism of collagen synthesis was higher than that of collagen degradation. Conclusion It was confirmed at the transcription level that when the metabolism of collagen synthesis was higher than that of collagen degradation in rabbits with schistosomiasis japonica, liver fibrosis might be produced.

Objective To explore the pancreatic kininogenase enteric-coated tablets in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy (DR) patients and its effect on the optic disc and macula retinal hemodynamics. Methods 86 cases (140 eyes) of DR patients were randomly divided into pancreatic kininogenase group and normal group with 43 cases in each group, two groups were treated with basic therapy, pancreatic kininogenase group were combined with pancreatic kininogenase treatment. The best corrected visual acuity and the clinical effect of optic disc and macula retinal hemodynamic changes were compared between two groups. Results After treatment, the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in pancreatic kininogenase group was greater than the normal group (P<0.05), the retinal neovascularization and fluorescein leakage area in pancreatic kininogenase group was less than the normal group (P<0.05). The disc vascular and macular retinal blood flow volume (VOL), blood flow velocity (FLW)values in pancreatic kininogenase group were larger than those of normal group, and the clinical curative effect of pancreatic kininogenase group was better than that of normal group (P<0.05). Conclusion Pancreatic kininogenase enteric-coated tablets in the treatment of DR patients can improve the optic disc and macular retinal hemodynamic parameters, improve visual acuity and reduce the retinal neovascularization and fluorescein leakage area, so as to improve the clinical treatment effect.

Objective To analyze the relationship between the morphological characteristics and rotator cuff tear (RCT) by MR.Methods The data of clinic and shoulder MRI of 37 patients with RCT (patients group) were analyzed retrospectively,and 19 healthy volunteers were collected in control group.The acromial shapes were classified into type Ⅰ (flat),type Ⅱ (curved),type Ⅲ (hooked) and type Ⅳ (convex).Additional measurements about pathogenesis of RCT including acromio-humeral distance (AHD),acromial index (AI),lateral acromial angle (LAA) and acromial thickness were performed for further assessment.Results Type Ⅱ was the most commonly encountered acromial shape in patients group (16/37,43.24 %) and control group (11/19,57.89 %).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of each acromial shape between two groups (P>0.05).However,the AHD,AI,LAA and acromial thickness showed statistically significant difference between the patients group and control group (all P<0.05).The type Ⅲ acromion was signifi candy different from the other types in patients group (P<0.05).Conclusion MRI can clearly display RCT.The AHD and LAA are smaller,the AI and acromial thickness are bigger in RCT patients.Type Ⅲ acromion may increase risks for RCT.
