ObjectiveTo study whether the presence of bacterial vaginosis (BV) increased the infection rate of high risk human papilloma virus(HR-HPV) in female genital tract. MethodsThe BV group had 867 patients who were diagnosed as bacterial vaginosis,and the control group had 610 female healthy volunteers without BV. Both the BV patients and the healthy volunteers were tested for HR-HPV infection rate and clearance rate. ResultsThe HR-HPV infection rate of BV group was 17.2％ ,higher than the control group's 10.7％ (P ＝ 0.000) ,and 1 year HR-HPV clearance rate of BV group was 77. 6％, a little lower than the control group' s 84. 8％ ( P ＝ 0. 414).ConclusionThere was significant correlation between the presence of BV and HR-HPV infection. But 1 year HPV clearance rate had no difference between BV group and control group, indicated that efficient treatment to BV enhanced the vagina's anti-infection ability and decreased the incidence of HPV infection so as to reduce the incidence of CIN and cervical cancer.

Placental pathologies include placental insufficiency,infection,meconium stained,abnormal planting and placental vascular anastomosis,et al.All those can lead to fetal and neonatal hypoxia ischemia or premature birth,which can cause brain damage.

OBJECTIVETo compare the clinical efficacy differences between medicinal vesiculation combined with quick cupping at Shenque (CV 8) and regular medication for allergic rhinitis with syndrome of yang deficiency.

METHODSEighty-two cases were randomly divided into an observation group (42 cases) and a control group (40 cases). The observation group was treated with medicinal vesiculation combined with quick cupping at Shenque (CV 8). The medicinal vesiculation was applied at Feishu (BL 13), Gaohuang (BL 43), Fengmen (BL 12), Mingmen (GV 4) on the dog days in the summer, one treatment on the 1st dog-day, 2nd dog-day and last dog-day respectively with an interval of 10 days between two treatments. Three treatments were taken as one course, and totally one course was given. The quick cupping was applied at Shenque (CV 8), once a day, ten treatments were taken as one course, and totally three courses was given. The control group was treated with oral administration of loratadine and nasal spray of budesonide. The loratadine was given 10 mg per time, once a day for continuous 14 days; budesonide was given once a day, ten treatments were taken as one course, and totally three courses was given. The clinical efficacy in two groups after treatment was observed, and the contents of immune globulin E (IgE), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-5 (IL-5) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in peripheral serum were measured before and after the treatments.

RESULTSOf all the 82 patients, 79 cases completed the treatment, and 1 patient in the observation group and 2 patients in the control group dropped out. The effective rate was 87.8% (36/41) in the observation group, which was superior to 78.9% (30/38) in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, both groups effectively reduced the contents of IgE, IL-4, IL-5 and TNF-α, and the observation group had superior effect on reducing IgE and IL-4 to the control group (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe medicinal vesiculation combined with quick cupping at Shenque (CV 8) have better effect for allergic rhinitis with syndrome of yang deficiency than oral administration of loratadine and nasal spray of budesonide.

[Objective] To approach the causes and managements of dislocation after total hip arthroplasty.[Methods]850 total hip arthroplasties were done in our department from 1996 to 2004,in which 7 cases experienced post-operative dislocation.Whith 4 males and 3 females,the average age was 67 years old.Causes and managements have been studied retrospectively through analysis of history,surgical approach,timing and direction of the dislocations and predisposing factors of the dislocations occurred.[Results]There wer 7 cases of dislocations of which 5 patients(71%)were primary cases and 2 patients(29%)were revision cases;4 patients(57%)had history of hip surgery;1 case had mental disorder after cerebral surgery.Direct lateral approach was used for all these patients,and only anterior dislocation was occurred in this group.Through study the AP X-rays postoperatively,the abduction angle were more than 55 degree in 2 of these cases.The time of dislocation was from right after operation to 27 months after operation;5 of them experienced their dislocation within 3 months after operation.Closed reduction and 6 weeks traction were selected for all these patients,and 6 of them were successful.Recurrent dislccation occurred twice in another one patient within 3 months after reduction,and the acetabular cup was loosened during closed reduction.A stable joint was achieved after revision and modifying the abduction angle of the cup.[Conclusion]Causative risk factors for dislocation after total hip arthroplasty include surgery history on the same hip,inability to comply with instructions of rehabilitation,approach of surgery and malposition of the prosthesis.Closed reduction and traction for 6-week afterwards are usually successful for most of the dislocated cases.Revision could be done in the base of analyzing the reasons for recurrent dislocation,and then stale joint could be achieved.

Autophagy is an important homeostatic cellular recycling mechanism responsible for degrading injured or dysfunctional cellular organelles and proteins in all living cells. Aging is a universal phenomenon characterized by progressive deterioration of cells and organs due to accumulation of macromolecular and organelle damage. Growing evidences indicate that the rate of autophagosome formation and maturation and the efficiency of autophagosome/lysosome fusion decline with age. Dysfunctional autophagy has also been observed in age-related diseases. Autophagy disruption resulted accumulation of mutated or misfolded proteins is the essential feature of neurodegenerative disorders. However, in cancers, fibroproliferative diseases or cardiovascular diseases, autophagy can play either a protective or destructive role in different types of disease, and even in different stages of the same disease. The review will discuss the cellular and molecular mechanisms of autophagy and its important role in the pathogenesis of aging and age-related diseases, and the ongoing drug discovery strategies for therapeutic intervention.

Aim To investigate whether capacitative Ca~(2+) entry involved in excitation-contraction coupling in rat distal colon smooth muscle.Methods Changes of isolated organ's tension were monitored with force-displacement transducer and Powerlab 4/25T recording system.Results Thapsigargin(10 nmol?L~(-1)～1 ?mol?L~(-1))produced slowly developing sustained contractions in isolated distal colon smooth muscle strips of rats.The timed contractile responses to thapsigargin(10 n mol?L~(1)-1 ?mol?L~(-1)) were significantly different.The contractile response to Ca~(2+) reintroduction following incubation of strips in a Ca~(2+)-free Krebs in the presense of thapsigargin was significantly higher than in its absence(99%?28% vs 70%?8%).Contractile responses to Ca~(2+)reintroduction following depletion of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca~(2+) stores with thapsigargin were attenuated by La~(3+),while unaffected by verapamil.Conclusion Contractile responses to Ca~(2+)reintroduction following depletion of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca~(2+)stores with thapsigargin,are mediated by capacitative Ca~(2+)entry.The results suggested that CCE provided activator Ca~(2+)for the contraction and participated in excitation-contraction process in rat distal colon smooth muscle.
