1.Evaluation and treatment of parkinson disease combined with pain
Journal of Chinese Physician 2017;19(6):952-955
Parkinson disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease,of which clinical symptoms give priority to movement disorders,accompanied by a series of non-motor symptoms,such as pain.Studies suggest that 40% to 85% of PD patients combined with pain,of more nature is related to muscleskeletal and dystonia.PD combined with pain severely reduces the quality of life of patients.However,it is still lack of uniform clinical evaluation and effective treatment.This paper makes a brief overview about the status and research progress of the evaluation and treatment of PD combined with pain.
2.Comparison of the efficacy of two bioceramic materials in vital pulp preservation of mature permanent teeth with exposed pulp of caries origin
Journal of Preventive Medicine 2024;36(3):224-227
Objective:
To compare the efficacy of two bioceramic materials, iRoot BP Plus and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) in the preservation of vital pulp of mature permanent teeth with exposed pulp of caries origin, so as to provide insights into appropriate selection of pulp capping agents in clinical process.
Methods:
Vital pulp therapy were performed on 120 mature permanent teeth with carious exposure at the Department of Stomatology of Hangzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang Chinese Medical University. The teeth were randomly divided into two groups which were treated respectively by iRoot BP Plus (iRoot group) and MTA (MTA group). The clinical efficacy was evaluated by clinical examinations and imaging examinations.
Results:
There were 60 cases in iRoot group, including 23 males and 37 females, 27 cases affected premolars and 33 cases affected molars, and 8 cases of Class I and 52 cases of Class II cavity type, with a median age of 41 (interquartile range, 12) years. There were 60 cases in MTA group, including 29 males and 31 females, 21 cases affected premolars and 39 cases affected molars, and 10 cases of Class I and 50 cases of Class II cavity type, with a median age of 39 (interquartile range, 14) years. There were no significant differences in gender, age, affected tooth location and cavity type between the two groups (P>0.05). The success rate of iRoot group at 12 months was 91.67% while the MTA group was 88.33%, and the pulp infection rate of iRoot group at 12 months was 8.33% while the MTA group was 11.67%. There were no significant differences in success rate and pulp infection rate between the two groups (P>0.05). The rate of crown discoloration in MTA group was 61.67%, while there was no discoloration in iRoot group.
Conclusions
During 12 months, iRoot BP Plus and MTA can both achieve great effects in the treatment of mature permanent teeth with carious pulp exposure, but there is a problem of tooth discoloration after pulp covering using MTA. The long-term clinical effects of the two materials need to be further studied.

Objective To summarize the manifestation of pediatric eosinophilic gastroenteritis by ultrasound and discuss the diagnostic value of ultrasonography in pediatric eosinophilic gastroenteritis. Methods The ultrasonic appearances of 31 cases of pediatric eosinophilic gastroenteritis confirmed by clinics and pathology were reviewed and analyzed. Results Nineteen of 31 cases were observed in association with eosinophilic infiltration of other organs which were diagnosed as idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome.Eosinophilic cystitis was the most common among the complications(89.4%,17/19).Twelve of 31 cases were diagnosed as eosinophilic gastroenteritis without complications.The endoscopic appearances of eosinophilic gastroenteritis were nonspecific which include erythematous,hyperemia edema,and partiality erosion changes.Endoscopy demonstrates increased numbers of eosinophils in the propria of stomach and the duodenum.Ultrasound features of the gastroenteritis appeared diffuse or the parts of gastrointestinal tract.The most common sites of eosinophilic gastroenteritis were the stomach and duodenum.Involvement of muscle layer and serosal layer showed wall thickening of cyclic annular and uniformity.Ultrasound might show nodular or irregular thickening of the folds in the gastric antrum when the submucosa were thickening.The mucosal layer involvement was not easy to be found by ultrasound.The echo of serous layer and submucosa associated with the disease stage.The thickening of surrounding omentum and mesenteric tissue,echo enhancement and nonspecific hyperplastic mesenteric lymph nodes infiltrated with eosinophils might be present.Eosinophilic ascites could often be detected.Conclusions Ultrasound has obvious advantages in the diagnosis of pediatric eosinophilic gastroenteritis,and the ultrasonic changes of pediatric eosinophilic gastroenteritis are characterized.Ultrasonography can provide the possible diagnosis when combined with inflammatory of other organs,especially cystitis inflammatory changes.

Objective To explore the application value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) in evaluating the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC) on breast cancer.Methods Image features of 80 breast cancer patients with neoadjuvant chemotherapy were observed and analyzed by CEUS.In the process,the changes of primary foci before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and the changes of qualitative and quantitative indexes of blood perfusion were evaluated.The correlation between qualitative change and pathological response was also studied.Results The change of focus size measured by CEUS was higher than that of conventional ultrasound before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy(P <0.05).However,there was no significant difference between the two measurements before NAC(P > 0.05).All the qualitative observation indexes of the ultrasound contrast after NAC revealed obviously benign conversion(P <0.05).Among them,the pathological response was closely related to the changes of the enhancement degree,the distribution of the contrast agent,the order of the contrast and the contrast mode.After NAC,the perfusion parameters of the lesions showed slowly crawl and slowly retreat,low enhancement and the diminished total amount of microcirculation perfusion.Conclusions Before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy,the changes of the lesion size deteted by CEUS were more close to the pathological evaluation than those detected by conventional ultrasound.The benign outcome of qualitative and quantitative indexes of the CEUS was more obvious than the changes of the lesion size,which had practical value for guiding the neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer,especially the CEUS indexes related to pathological assessment.
