Chinese Journal of Information on Traditional Chinese Medicine 2016;23(7):17-21
Objective To study the correlation between hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in lung-spleen damp-heat syndrome, syndrome of stagnation and steaming due to damp-heat, and syndrome of stirring wind due to toxic-heat with IL-6, PCT, CRP, CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ and NK cells.Methods Ninety patients with HFMD were randomly selected, dividing into lung-spleen damp-heat syndrome, syndrome of stagnation and steaming due to damp-heat, and syndrome of stirring wind due to toxic-heat, 30 cases for each syndrome. IL-6, PCT, CRP, CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ and NK cells were detected, and the distribution of above indicators in the three syndromes were analyzed.Results Levels of IL-6, PCT and CRP in syndrome of stirring wind due to toxic-heat were significantly higher than those in lung-spleen damp-heat syndrome and syndrome of stagnation and steaming due to damp-heat, with statistical significance (P<0.01); There was statistical significance in absolute value counting of CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ and NK cells among the three syndromes (P<0.01); There was statistical significance in the percentage of CD3+ cells in syndrome of stirring wind due to toxic-heat and lung-spleen damp-heat syndrome (P<0.01) and syndrome of stagnation and steaming due to damp-heat (P<0.05); There was statistical significance in the percentage of CD4+ cells syndrome of stirring wind due to toxic-heat and lung-spleen damp-heat syndrome (P<0.05) and syndrome of stagnation and steaming due to damp-heat (P<0.01); There was statistical significance in the percentages of CD8+ and NK cells in the three syndromes (P<0.01).Conclusion Proinflammatory cytokines, proinflammatory markers, and T cell sub-group related to HFMD in lung-spleen damp-heat syndrome, syndrome of stagnation and steaming due to damp-heat, syndrome of stirring wind due to toxic-heat are not only correlative with morbidity, but also with the severity of diseases and prognosis, which can relatively effectively evaluate the state of diseases and judge prognosis.

Chinese Journal of Health Management 2011;05(5):288-291
Objective To study the characteristics of serum lipid metabolism in cadres aged 90 and above.Methods A total of 105 in-patient cadres aged 90 and above were assigned to the longevity group,and another 85 in-patient cadres aged 60 to 80 years were used as controls.Medical history of the participants were retrospectively reviewed,and serum levels of total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),apoB,apoA-I,Lp(a)and body mass index(BMI)were tested.Results Compared with the control group,TC,TG,LDL-C,apoB and non-HDL-C were significantly decreased in the longevity group[3.90 +0.89 vs 4.36 ± 1.06,0.89(0.57)vs 1.16(0.69),2.35 ±0.72 vs 2.70 ±0.88,0.68 ±0.19 vs 0.75 ±0.22,2.69 ±0.79 vs 3.18 ± 1.00,respectively].However,HDL-C/TC and HDL-C/LDL-C were significantly increased in the longevity group [0.32 ±0.084 vs 0.28 ±0.082,0.52(0.22)vs 0.43(0.28),respectively].Lp(a)of the longevity group was higher than that of the control group,although no statistically significant difference was found.BMI of the longevity group was significantly lower than that of the control group.In the longevity group,the percentage of individual who were combined with hypertension,hyperglycemia,hyperlipidemia and overweight/fat was lower (24.8% vs 43.5%).Conclusions Serum lipid level is relatively lower in cadres aged 90 and above,and those who are combined with hypertension,hyperglycemia,hyperlipidemia and overweight/fat are significantly lower in this populations.

5.Comparation of periodontal health of patients treated by the invisalign system with those treated by fixed orthodontic appliance
Journal of Practical Stomatology 2017;33(2):270-272
60 cases(aged 18-40 years) underwent orthodontic treatment were divided into 2 groups.30 patients in group A were treated with invisible aligners,while 30 in group B with fixed orthodontic appliance.Periodontal indices (PI,GI,SBI,PD)were examined before treatment,6 weekes,6 months and 12 months after treatment.Before and 6 weeks after treatment the indices were not statistically different between groups,6 and 12 months after treatment the indices of group A were lower than those of group B (P < 0.05).The invisalign appliance is more propitious to periodontal health than the fixed orthodontic appliance.

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)-guided radiotherapy has been widely used in radiotherapy, but it still has many limitations.Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) instead of CBCT for imaging-guided radiotherapy can not only make use of the advantages of MRI, but it also allows for online and real-time tracking of tumor motion and biological changes.This technique truly realizes the real-time MRI-guided adaptive radiotherapy (ART) in anatomy and biology, and sets another milestone in the advancement of radiotherapy.This review summarizes the technical advantages of MRI-guided radiotherapy, the basic structure and type of MR-Linac, and the technical difficulties and solutions of MRIgART.

Objective To analyze the residues of chrysanthemum ester pesticides and heavy metals in several typical Oolong tea samples for evaluating the drink safety. Methods The residues of chrysanthemum ester pesticides in the tea samples were extracted with ultrasonic method. Gas chromatography equipped with ECD was applied to determine the pesticide residues. The heavy metals in tea samples were analyzed with an inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer (ICP-Mass) and an atomic fluorescence spectrometer. Results The residues of chrysanthemum ester pesticides in the dry tea samples were 0.200-0.780 mg/kg, no residues was detected in the tea water. The content of heavy metals in the dry tea and tea water was very low, under the standard limits. Conclusion The Oolong tea samples chosen in the present investigation have not been polluted by chrysanthemum ester pesticides and heavy metals, according to the results, the Oolong tea made in the area is safe for drink.

Objective To evaluated the result of modified Mitchell operation for treatment of hallux valgus. Methods From March 1998 to October 2001, 39 feet of 20 patients were treated with modified Mitchell procedure. Before operation, HVA averaged 29.5? and IMA averaged 12.5? were measured on standing AP radiographs. The lateral displacement of the capital fragment was depended on the amount of IMA and the capital fragment shifted plantarly 2-3 mm. Fixation was achieved with an absorbable screw. The lateral spike on the distal fragment was not preserved in this operation. Results After follow-up of 11-38 months, patients rated as excellent or good in 97.4%. The average postoperative HVA was 14.5? and IMA was 8.5?, the average HAV correction was 15? and 4? for the IMA. Conclusion The modified Mitchell procedure provides satisfactory deformity correction. The transverse arch of metatarsals is reconstructed since distal part of the first metatarsal is shifted plantarly in this operation.
