Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and mechanism of minocycline hydrochloride ointment adjuvant therapy for chronic periodontitis.Methods86 patients of chronic periodontitis who received therapy from August 2013 to June 2015 in our hospital were selected.According to random number table, those patients were divided into the experimental group (n=43) and the control group (n=43).The control group was treated on the basis of the foundation treatment with tinidazole Oral Sticking Tablets and the experimental group were treated on the base of the foundation treatment with Minocycline hydrochloride sustained-release ointment, the levels of hs-CRP, TNF-a, IL-8 and IL-10 in gingival sulcus fluid were measured before and after treatment, the indexes of PLI, PD, SBI and AL were recorded,at the same time the clinical curative effect between two groups was compared.ResultsThe effective rate of the experimental group(95.35%) was higher than the control group(81.40%),the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05);Compared with before treatment, two groups general situations and inflammation factors changed after treatment,plaque index, periodontal pocket probing depth, gingival sulcus bleeding index and adhesion levels of the experimental group were lower than the control group after treatment, the PD, SBI, AL and PLI in the experimental group were significantly lower than that of the control group, and the hs-CRP, TNF-a and IL-8 levels were lower than the control group, IL-10 was higher than the control group after treatment(P<0.05).ConclusionMinocycline hydrochloride ointment is well for chronic periodontitis,which can effectively relieve periodontal chronic inflammation, improve clinical efficacy, the underlying mechanism may be related to the reduction of IL-8 and TNF-α levels in gingival crevicular fluid.

Objective To retrospectively compare analysis of two kinds of surgery which were nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy (NSRH) and the traditional radical hysterectomy (RH) for cervical cancer was done to find out the effect on urinary function in postoperative patients. Methods Among 57cervical cancer with clinical stage Ⅰ B1- Ⅱ A 31 cases treated with NSRH,26 cases treated with RH. The postoperative bladder function of the two methods were evaluated, and postoperative recovery of urinary function and postoperative recurrence of tumor were compared. Results The period of indwelling catheter for the postoperative patients with NSRH was (8.5 ± 3.2) days, obviously less than that for traditional RH patients which was ( 12.8 ± 3.8) days. The difference was statistically significant(P < 0.01 ). And two methods of postoperative patients were alive without tumor recurrence and metastasis after 1-4 years follow-up.Conclusions NSRH is better than traditional RH in remaining pelvic autonomic nervous system and improving the early urinary function of postoperative patients of cervical cancer. Otherwise, it doesn't effect the radical cure of tumor.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of young patients with endometrial cancer. Methods Eighty-two cases with endometrial cancer were analyzed retrospectively,31 cases in the young group were ≤ 45 years old, and 51 cases in the old group were ＞ 45 years old. The clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis between the two groups were compared. Results Twelve cases with primary infertility took up 38.7% in the young group,23 cases with less than 3 times of pregnancy occupied 74.2%, and there was no statistical difference,compared with the old group [3.9%(2/51)and 29.4% (15/51)] (P＜0.05). There was statistically significant between the two groups in myometrial invasion (P ＜ 0.05 ); while there was no significance between the two groups in pathological type, histological grade,clinical stage, 5-year survival rate and recurrence period (P＞0.05). Conclusion Infertility or less pregnancy are risk factors for endometrial cancer in the young; the degree of endometrial invasion in the young is more shallow than that in the old; there is no significant difference between the young and the old in pathological type, histological grade and clinical stage; but the prognosis is similar between the young and the old patients.

Objective To compare the lipid lowing effect and the clinical safety between intensive therapy with Chinese medicine Zhihitai and atorvastntin in patients with moderate and high risk of atherosclerosis. Methods All the patients were randomly divided in to a Zhibitai group (n = 85) receiving 480 mg of Zhibitai orally twice a day or an atorvastatin group (n = 84) receiving 10 mg atorvastatin orally once daily. Blood lipoproteins, myocardial enzymes, fiver and renal function were measured before treatment and at the fourth and eighth week after therapy , while high sensitive creactive protein (hs-CRP), P-selectin, matrix-metall proteinase-9 (MMP-9) and soluble intercellular adhering molecule-1 (SICAM-1) were detected before treatment and eighth week after therapy in all patients. Results TC and LDL-C were significantly decreased while HDL-C was increased in both groups after 4 and 8 weeks treatment (P < 0. 05). TG was decreased in Zhibitai group after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment, but it was decreased in atorvastatin group only after 8 weeks of treatment. Inflammatory factors such as hs-CRP, P-selectin, MMP-9, SICAM-1 were decreased significantly (all P < 0. 01), but there was no significant difference between the two groups. There were no difference in liver and kidney function, myocardial enzymes and incidence of muscle-ache and digestive system side reaction. ConclusionsBesides the lipoprotein disorder, inflammatory factors in patients with moderate and high risk of atherosclerosis could be regulated with intensive therapy of Zhibitai. Most importantly, it is safe to use Zhibitai clinically.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of late diagnosis for newly diagnosed HIV/AIDS positive patients in Guangxi in 2015.Methods The CD4 + T lymphocytes count which was first detection for newly diagnosed HIV/AIDS positive patients in Guangxi during 2015 was collected.Data were statistically analyzed.Results We collected 8 586 newly diagnosed HIV/AIDS whose median CD4+ T lymphocytes counts was 237.5 cells/μl,and 43.12％ of them had less than 200 cells/μl.Gender,age,occupation,marriage,nation,education,route of transmission,types of testing and region had effects on late HIV diagnosis(all P ＜ 0.05).Logistic analysis found that risk factors associated with the late diagnosis of HIV were male(OR =1.851,95％ CI:1.673-2.048),migrant worker (OR =1.387,95％ CI:1.242-1.549),education below middle and secondary school(OR =1.619,95％ CI:1.400-1.873),currently married(OR =1.207,95％ CI:1.075-1.354),divorced or widowed(OR =1.508,95％ CI:1.309-1.738).Voluntary testing was a protective factor.Conclusions The prevalence the late diagnosis of HIV was high in Guangxi in 2015,it is crucial for related departments to enhance the testing and screening effort for HIV/AIDS.

Objective:To analyze the diagnostic efficacy of targeted biopsy (TB) versus targeted biopsy combined with systematic biopsy (TB+ SB) for patients with multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) prostate imaging-reporting and data system (PI-RADS) score of 4-5.Methods:The clinical data of 378 patients with mpMRI PI-RADS score of 4-5 in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January 2018 to February 2020 who received prostate TB+ SB were retrospectively analyzed. Median age was 69 (64, 75) years old, median prostate specific antigen was 9.5 (6.7, 16.3) ng/ ml, and median prostate volume was 34.1 (23.5, 48.4) ml. There were 240 cases with PI-RADS score of 4 and 138 cases with PI-RADS score of 5. Evaluating Gleason score of positive biopsy pathology and using χ 2 test or Fisher exact test to analyze the detection of prostate cancer (PCa) and clinically significant prostate cancer(CsPCa) by TB versus TB+ SB. Results:Of the all 378 cases, 88 cases (23.3%) were negative and 290 cases (76.7%) were positive. The average number of needle for TB was 2.4 per person, while SB was 12 per person. TB and SB had no statistically significant difference in the detection rate of PCa (73.3% vs. 68.3%, P=0.129) and CsPCa (55.8% vs. 49.7%, P=0.094) and in the accuracy (79.1% vs. 77.8%, P=0.658), but had a statistically significant difference in the positive rate (64.2% vs. 23.1%, P < 0.001). The pathological coincidence rate of TB and TB+ SB was 92.3%. There was no statistical difference in the detection rate of PCa (73.3% vs. 76.7%, P=0.275) and CsPCa (55.8% vs. 62.2%, P=0.076) between TB and TB+ SB. The missed diagnosis rate of TB for PCa was 4.5%, for CsPCa was 10.2%. For patients with PI-RADS score of 4, TB had no significant difference in the detection rate of PCa (65.4% vs. 69.2%, P=0.381) and CsPCa (46.7% vs. 52.9%, P=0.171) from TB+ SB. The accuracy of TB was 82.1%. The missed diagnosis rate of TB for PCa was 5.4%, for CsPCa was 11.8%. For patients with PI-RADS score of 5, TB had no significant difference in the detection rate of PCa (87.0% vs. 89.9%, P=0.452) and CsPCa (71.7% vs. 78.3%, P=0.211) from TB+ SB. The accuracy of TB was 73.9%. The missed diagnosis rate of TB for PCa was 3.2%, for CsPCa was 8.3%. Conclusions:For high-risk prostate cancer patients with PI-RADS score of 4-5, TB can obtain a detection effect similar to that of TB+ SB with fewer needles, but there is still the possibility of inaccurate diagnosis and missed diagnosis.

OBJECTIVEBalloon angioplasty is an alternative to surgical repair for coarctation of the aorta in children. However, its role in the treatment of neonates and infants younger than 3 months old remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of balloon angioplasty for native coarctation by comparing children in different age groups.

METHODThis is a retrospective clinical study including 37 children treated with balloon angioplasty for native coarctation from January 2006 to December 2012. A total of 37 patients consisting of 26 boys and 11 girls underwent the procedure, with median age 10 months (range from 7 days to 6 years) and the mean body weight was 6.3 (2.5-17.0) kg. The indication of the procedure includes discrete native coarctation without aortic arch hypoplasia and a peak-to-peak systolic pressure gradient > 20 mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) across aortic coarctation. During one year follow-up, the approach artery injury, recoarctation and aneurysm formation were particularly assessed.

RESULTWe classified these patients into two groups according to their age. Group A consisted of 25 patients younger than 3 months and Group B of 12 patients older than 3 months. There was no significant difference between the two groups in systolic pressure gradient before balloon angioplasty (P > 0.05). The mean peak systolic gradient decreased from (38 ± 18) mmHg to (12 ± 11) mmHg immediately after angioplasty in group A and from (47 ± 18) to (17 ± 12) mmHg in group B (P = 0.000 for both). Meanwhile, the mean diameter of the coarctation segment increased from (1.8 ± 0.7) to (3.7 ± 1.1) mm after angioplasty in group A and from (2.6 ± 1.5) to (5.5 ± 1.8) mm in group B (both P = 0). The initial successful balloon angioplasty (immediate postangioplasty peak pressure gradient < 20 mmHg) was achieved in all the 37 patients; 32 patients (86.5%) have been followed up for one year. Approach arterial complications occurred in 3 patients (9.4%), all of whom were in Group A (P = 0.537). Two patients had decreased femoral artery pulse and one required surgical repair for a postoperative pseudoaneurysm at left carotid artery. At follow-up, 8 patients (25.0%) developed recoarctation, with 6 cases in Group A and 2 in Group B. There was no significant difference between groups A and B in the recoarctation rate (P = 1.000). Among them, 7 patients underwent repeat balloon angioplasty, and all showed successful relief of coarctation, and one patient required surgical repair. Two patients (2/37, 5.4%) had small aneurysms of the descending aorta immediately after balloon angioplasty, with one patient in each group (12/25 vs.1/12, P = 0.755).Late aneurysm development has not been observed in the 17 patients who have had a follow-up CTA or MRA study.

CONCLUSIONBalloon angioplasty of discrete native coarctation is effective and safe in children both younger and older than 3 months with similar incidence of approach arterial complication, recoarctation and aneurysm formation.

Objective To retrospectively investigate the distribution,molecular epidemiology and carbapenemases-encoding genes of carbapenem resistant K lebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)in Zhejiang Province.Methods A total of 772 clinical isolates of K.pneumoniae isolated from 9 hospitals in Zhejiang Province in 2011 were selected,and antimicrobial susceptibility testings were carried out with disk diffusion or broth microdilution method.Polymerase chain reaction(PCR)was used to detect resistant genes,and molecular typing was performed by multilocus sequence typing(MLST)and pulsed field gel electrophoresis(PFGE).Results A total of 48 CRKP(6.2%)were screened in 9 hospitals. Carbapenemase-encoding genes were detected in 39 isolates by PCR,among which 37(77.1%)were identified as blaKPC-2and 2 were blaIMP-4.MLST showed that ST11 was the dominant ST type(30, 62.5%).Results of PFGE showed that 48 CRKP can be divided into 15 types.CRKP was found in 6 hospitals except hospitals in Wenzhou,Jiaxing and Shaoxing.Conclusions In 2011,CRKP is distributed in most areas of Zhejiang Province.The production of KPC-2 is the most important carbapenem resistance mechanism and ST11 is the most prevalent ST type.

Objective To observe the impairment effect of retinol binding protein 4(RBP4) on neurocognitive function in diabetic nephropathy(DN) patients with silent cerebral infarction(SCI) and to explore its mechanism.Methods Sixty patients with newly diagnosed DN and 30 healthy volunteers were selected as the study subjects and the DN cases were divided into the complicating SCI group(SCI,n=30) and non-complicating SCI group(NSCI,n=30) according to the imaging results.The degrees of neurological function deficit and Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA) were evaluated.Serum RBP4 level was determined by ELISA and expressions of Lp-PLA2 and C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4(CXCR4) were determined by Western blot.Results Compared with the NSCI group,the neurocognitive function in the SCI group was subsided,the expression levels of RBP4,Lp-PLA2 and CXCR4 were increased(P＜0.05).The RBP4 level was positively correlated with the neurocognitive function impairment in SCI patients,moreover,there existed a regression correlation between them.Conclusion Serum RBP4 may serve as the predictive factor of DN complicating SCI and is positively correlated with neurocognitive dysfunction.Lp-PLA2/CXCR4 pathway activation may be one of its pathogenesis.
