Objective:To observe the clinical effect of needling gluteus medius muscle trigger point (TrP) plus chiropractic for sacroiliac joint subluxation.Methods:A total of 124 cases conforming to the inclusion criteria of sacroiliac joint subluxation were classified by anterior subluxation and posterior subluxation,and randomized into a TrP group and a conventional group respectively.There were 63 patients with anterior subluxation who were randomized into a TrP group of 32 cases (including 4 dropped out cases) and a conventional group of 31 cases (including 3 dropped out cases);and 61 patients with posterior subluxation who were randomized into a TrP group of 31 cases (including 3 dropped out cases) and a conventional group of 30 cases (including 3 dropped out cases).Patients in the TrP group received the treatment of needling gluteus medius muscle TrP plus chiropractic,while patients in the conventional group received conventional acupuncture treatment plus chiropractic.The treatment was done twice a week for a succession of 8 weeks.Then,the pain visual analog scale (VAS),Oswestry disability index (ODI) and therapeutic efficacy were evaluated.Results:After treatment,the total effective rate of TrP group with anterior subluxation was 96.9％,higher than 77.4％ in the conventional group,the difference showed a statistical significance (P＜0.05);the total effective rate was 93.5％ in the TrP group with posterior subluxation,higher than 73.3％ in the conventional group.After treatment,the VAS and ODI scores in both groups dropped obviously,the differences showed statistical significance (all P＜0.05);the scores of VAS and ODI in the TrP group were obviously lower than those in the conventional group (all P＜0.05).Conclusion:Needling gluteus medius muscle TrP plus chiropractic had a better therapeutic effect than conventional acupuncture plus chiropractic for sacroiliac joint subluxation.

The effects of tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein on the proliferation of rat anterior pituitary cells and mouse AtT-20 cells were studied using techniques of cell culture, ～3H-TdR incorporation, flow cytometric analysis and electron microscope. Genistein significantly inhibited the proliferation of rat anterior pituitary cells and mouse AtT-20 cells. Genistein (50 and 100 μmol/L ) blocked the proliferation of AtT-20 cells at G0/G1 and G2/M phases and evoked an apoptotic peak of these cells with an apoptotic ratio of 19.9％ and 36.4%. The apoptotic cells were also observed under the electron microscope. In consequence, genistein, as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, can significantly inhibit the proliferation of pituitary cells possibly by inducing apoptosis, and the tyrosine kinase activity may play a key role in the proliferation and differentiation of pituitary cells.

Abstract: Objective　To investigate the growth and development of HIV-infected children initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART) and its influencing factors. Methods　This retrospective cohort study was conducted in Guangxi. HIV-infected children initiating free antiretroviral therapy (ART) from 2004 to 2019 were included. Z-score was calculated according to the Chinese Child Growth and Development Standard, the Cox-Stuart test was used for trend analysis, and the generalized estimating equation was used to analyze HAZ (Height-for-age Z-score)≥-2 and WAZ (Weight-for-age Z-score)≥-2 influencing factors. Results　A total of 943 children with HIV infection were enrolled in the cohort. The median HAZ at baseline and 1, 2, 5, and 10 years after treatment was -2.47, -2.14, -1.94, -1.55, -1.23, respectively, and the median WAZ was -1.85, -1.40, -1.30, -1.21, -1.09, respectively. By Cox-Stuart trend test, HAZ and WAZ showed an upward trend with the treatment time (P<0.05). The proportions of HAZ≥-2 at baseline and at 1, 2, 5, and 10 years after treatment were 38.1%, 46.5%, 51.6%, 66.8%, and 74.6%, respectively, and the proportions of WAZ≥-2 were 57.1%, 76.9%, 81.1%, 85.8% and 89.2%, respectively. According to Cox-Stuart trend test, the proportions of HAZ≥-2 and WAZ≥-2 increased with the treatment time (P<0.05). The results of multivariate generalized estimating equation analysis showed that the associated factors with HAZ≥-2 were that age at ART initiation was 3-7 years old (aOR=0.71, 95%CI: 0.53-0.94), age at ART initiation was >7 years old (aOR=0.66, 95%CI: 0.47-0.93), CD4 cell counts before ART was <200/μL (aOR=0.64, 95%CI: 0.47-0.87), WHO clinical stage before ART was Stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ (aOR=0.74, 95%CI: 0.56-0.97) and time on ART (aOR=1.01, 95%CI: 1.01-1.01); the associated factors with WAZ≥-2 were male (aOR=0.72, 95%CI: 0.53-0.97), WHO clinical stage before ART was Stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ (aOR=0.63, 95%CI: 0.45-0.86) and time on ART (aOR=1.01, 95%CI: 1.01-1.01). Conclusion　Antiretroviral therapy can effectively improve the growth and development status of children with HIV infection, but a large proportion of children still have stunted growth and development in the 10th year after treatment. It is necessary to strengthen the training of antiretroviral treatment staff and the publicity and education of parents of children infected with HIV. Improve the effect of antiviral treatment and guide children's nutrition reasonably.
