Objective:To investigate the risk factors of musculoskeletal disorders(MSDs)in dental postgraduates.Methods:271 dental postgraduates majoring in five different specialties(orthodontics,prosthodontics,endodontics,periodontics and alveolar surgery) with average (2.78 ±1 .57)years of clinical practice were recruited.254 age-matched non-dental postgraduates were served as the controls.The standardized Nordic questionnaire on MSDs and a self-report questionnaire regarding correlative factors were answered. Reliability of the responses was assessed by applying test-retest method.Results:The test-retest method revealed a high reliability of participants'answers with the intraclass correlation coefficient ranging from 0.89 to 0.96.Dental postgraduates had significantly higher incidence (85.6%)of MSDs than the controls(70.4%).In all included dental specialties,high prevalence of MSDs was reported at neck (47.5%-69.8%),followed by shoulders (50.8%-65.1 %),lowerback (27.1 %-51 .2%)and upper back (25.6%-46.5%).Meanwhile,the high prevalence of MSD varied in different specialties.Year of clinical work,clinical hours per week and desk hours per week were found to be the risk factors for MSDs,whereas physical exercise and rest were protective factors.Conclu-sion:MSDs with high prevelence and distinct specialty-related characteristics initiate at the early stage of dental career.Relevant measures to prevent and protect against MSDs should be taken during school-days.

This study was aimed to investigate the comprehensive ecological factors of Hippophae rhamnoides L. and their regional suitability in China. Based on field survey, specimen examination and literature investigation, ecologi-cal factors and appropriate production areas were analyzed by Traditional Chinese Medicine Geographic Information System (TCMGIS-II). The results showed that the proper region (with similarity of 95%~100%) of H. rhamnoides L. accounts for 737 994.71 km2, including 15 provinces/municipalities and 387 counties/cities. The largest area among them is Tibet autonomous region with area of 313 857.73 km2 (42.53%), followed by Sichuan province (223 987.02 km2, 30.35%), Gansu province (66 314.43 km2, 8.99%) and Shanxi province (4 237.79 km2, 0.57%). There are also certain appropriate production areas distributed in Liaoning province, Beijing, Chongqing and Hubei province. It was concluded that this system is much valuable to the recognition of the formation of the producing area, the division of adaptive area, introduction and acclimatization of medicinal materials. It also provided a scientific reference for the introduction and cultivation of H. rhamnoides L. Through further field study and experiments, these new areas have the potential to be developed into suitable production region of H. rhamnoides L. in the future.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical effects of invisible bracketless appliance on the upper molar distalization.Methods:15 patients with class Ⅱ malocclusion(at the average age of 25.3 years) were treated by invisible bracketless appliance,the pre and post three-dimensional digital models were superimposed and measured,the effects of molar distalization were analysed.Results:After treatment,the maxillary first molars were distalized by 2.58 mm on both sides.The left and fight second molars were distalized by 2.57 mm and 2.68 mm respectively.Bilateral central incisors were moved mesially by 0.34 mm.There was no significant difference in the horizontal movement of central incisor.But the left and fight first molars were moved buccally by 0.96 mm and 0.97 mm respectively,the left and fight second molars were moved buccally by 1.01 mm and 1.11 mm separately.Bilateral first molars were intruded by 0.26 mm,the left and right second molars were intruded by 0.37 mm and 0.36 mm,respectively.But the central incisors had no significant vertical movement.There was no significant difference in the buccally or palatally rotation of bilateral first and second molars.Conclusion:Invisible bracketless appliance is efficient for distalization of upper molar,but it may result in mild molar intrusion and anterior anchorage loss.

Objective Todetecttheexpressionlevelsoftumornecrosisfactor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-6(IL-6)inintracranialaneurysms.Methods Sixteenconsecutivepatients(aneurysm group)with intracranial aneurysm confirmed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA)and clipped by microneurosurgery were enrolled retrospectively. A total of 19 trauma patients without vascular disease confirmed by CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)in the same period were used as a control group. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE)staining and immunohistochemical staining were used to detect the aneurysm wall tissue and the colored portions of TNF-α and IL-6 in normal vessel wall,the mean value of optical density after its expression was analyzed,and the intensity of staining was compared. Results (1)Each layer of artery walls of the control group had no obvious TNF-α and IL-6 expression. The inner,media and out membranes of the aneurysm wall tissue of the aneurysm group had positive expression of TNF-αand IL-6. (2)The mean optical densities of TNF-α and IL-6 in patients of the aneurysm group were 0. 182 ± 0. 069 and 0. 148 ± 0.062 respectively,and they were higher than 0. 144 ± 0. 031 and 0. 105 ± 0. 020 of the control group. The differences were statistically significant (all P<0. 05). (3)The mean optical densities of TNF-α expression of each layer of the inner,media and out membranes in the aneurysm walls were 0. 224 ± 0. 071,0. 134 ± 0. 040,and 0. 106 ± 0. 065,respectively. There were significant differences (P<0.01). (4)The mean optical density expressed by IL-6 in the out membrane of the aneurysm walls was lower than the media and inner membranes (0. 096 ± 0. 018 vs. 0. 145 ± 0. 050,and 0. 148 ± 0. 070). There were significant differences (P<0. 05). (5)The results of Spearman correlation analysis showed that the mean optical density of TNF-αof the aneurysm group was positively correlated with that of IL-6 (r=0. 452, P<0.05).Conclusion TheexpressionlevelsofTNF-αandIL-6intheaneurysmwalltissueare higher,and they may be involved in intracranial aneurysm formation and rupture.

Objective: To observe the effects of ginaton and nitroglycerin injection on expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and cardioprotective mechanism in rabbits with ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Methods : Twenty New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into four groups, 5 rabbits being in each group. The model was not replicated in the sham-operated group. Myocardial I/R models were replicated in animals in normal saline, ginatone and nitroglycerin injection groups and were administered with normal saline, ginatone and nitroglycerin injection respectively 0.5 hour before ischemia. Western blot was used to measure HSP70 of ischemia and non-ischemia myocardium and the expression of HSP70 was analyzed semiquantitatively . Serum nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA) contents and total superoxide dismutase (TCD*2SOD) , creatine kinase (CK) activity were measured. Results: HSP70 was less expressed in sham-operated group and more expressed in normal saline group, ginaton group and nitroglycerin injection group. Expression of HSP70 of ischemia and non-ischemia myocardium in normal saline group was 2.5CD*2 and 2.1CD*2fold, in ginaton group 17.6CD*2 and 20.7CD*2fold and in nitroglycerin group 28.1CD*2 and 29.1CD*2fold to that in the shamCD*2operated group, respectively. The activity of TCD*2SOD was lower while MDA and CK levels were higher in the normal saline group than those in the sham-operated group (all P

Objective:To observe the effect of Ba Duan Jin(Eight-brocade Exercise)plus Tuina(Chinese therapeutic massage)in treating primary dysmenorrhea due to cold-induced blood stasis in female college students and on the score of fatigue scale-14(FS-14). Methods:Seventy-two female college students with primary dysmenorrhea due to cold-induced blood stasis were randomized into a Tuina group and a joint group,with 36 cases in each group.The Tuina group only received Tuina manipulations.In the joint group,besides the same Tuina manipulations,patients practiced Ba Duan Jin.For both groups,the once-daily intervention was conducted from 6 d before the menstrual period until menstrual day 1 for 3 menstrual cycles.Changes in the scores of COX menstrual symptom scale(CMSS),visual analog scale(VAS),and FS-14 after the intervention were observed.Clinical efficacy was also estimated. Results:During the process,1 case dropped out in the Tuina group,and 35 cases completed the intervention;2 cases dropped out in the joint group,and 34 cases completed the intervention.The total effective rate was 94.1%in the joint group,higher than 88.6%in the Tuina group(P<0.05).After treatment,the symptom duration and intensity scores in the scores of CMSS,VAS,and FS-14 declined in both groups(P<0.05 or P<0.01);the CMSS symptom duration score and FS-14 score were lower in the joint group than in the Tuina group(P<0.05). Conclusion:Tuina manipulations alone or combined with Ba Duan Jin practice can effectively treat primary dysmenorrhea due to cold-induced blood stasis in female college students;when combined with Ba Duan Jin practice,Tuina manipulations can more significantly improve pain duration and fatigue,suggesting the advantages of combining Tuina Gongfa and manipulations.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum uric acid level and renal function decline by retrospective cohort study.Methods Through the physical examination system of the First People's Hospital of Foshan,the physical examination data from 2015 to 2018 of a public institution in Foshan city were obtained.The gender,age,blood cell analysis,liver function,serum creatinine,uric acid,fasting blood glucose were obtained.The change of eGFR (△eGFR=eGFR2018-eGFR2015) was analyzed.Results A total of 2505 subjects were followed up for four years.The subjects were divided into △eGFR ≥0 group and △eGFR ＜ 0 group.There were 845 subjects in △eGFR ≥0 group,and 1660 subjects in △eGFR ＜ 0 group.Compared with that in △eGFR ＜ 0 group,the base-level of uric acid in △eGFR ≥ 0 group was higher [(349.48±87.62) μmol/L vs (325.72±82.58) μmol/L,t=6.669,P ＜ 0.001],but the rate of uric acid decline was greater [-15.00(-53.50,17.00) μmol/L vs 15.50(-18.00,49.00) μmol/L,Z=-13.470,P ＜ 0.001].According to the levels of uric acid in 2015 and 2018,then the subjects were divided into four groups,normal to normal group (N-N,1551 cases),normal change into high uric acid group (N-H,299 cases),high uric acid drop to normal group (H-N,238 cases),and high to high uric acid group (H-H,417 cases).The △eGFR was-1.58(-4.17,1.01) ml · min-1 · (1.73 m2) 1 in N-N group,and-3.60(-7.24,-0.98) ml · min-1 · (1.73 m2)-1 in N-H group,-0.20(-3.14,3.27) ml· min-1· (1.73 m2)-1 in H-N group,-0.96(-4.07,1.93) ml· min-1· (1.73 m2)-1 in H-H group,respectively.The △eGFR decreased most significantly in N-H group than the other three groups (x2=103.130,P ＜ 0.001).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that elevated uric acid was an independent risk factor for eGFR decline (OR=1.739,95％CI 1.587-1.906,P ＜ 0.001),while elevated indirect bilirubin (OR=0.968,95％CI 0.943-0.993,P=0.013),elevated red blood cells (OR=0.815,95％ CI 0.680-0.976,P=0.026) were independent protective factors for eGFR decline.Conclusion Elevated uric acid is an independent risk factor for the decline of renal function.Good control of hyperuricemia is beneficial to the protection of renal function.
