Objective To screen out some Chinese medicines with obvious inhibitory actions on triple-negative breast cancer based on data mining. Methods Literatures of breast cancer effectively treated by Chinese medicine issued in recent 15 years were collected, and then the frequency analysis and cluster analysis were used to screen the frequently-used herbs. According to the above results, the serum containing the obtained drugs were prepared respectively. And then the proliferation, migration and invasion abilities of breast cancer cells MDB-MB-231 treated with the serum containing various Chinese medicines for 12, 24 h were observed by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT) assay and transwell cell invasion and migration experiments, respectively. Results The frequently-used herbs were screened out as Rhizoma Chuanxiong, Herba Taraxaci, Herba Hedyotis Diffusae, Radix Trichosanthis, Radix Achyranthis Bidentatae. The proliferation of MDB-MB-231 cells was significantly inhibited by serum seperately containing Rhizoma Chuanxiong, Herba Taraxaci, Herba Hedyotis Diffusae, Radix Trichosanthis, and Radix Achyranthis Bidentatae to different degrees, and the migration abilities of MDB-MB-231 cells were obviously inhibited by serum containing Herba Taraxaci, Herba Hedyotis Diffusae, Radix Achyranthis Bidentatae, respectively. And the invasion abilities of MDB-MB-231 cells were obviously inhibited by serum containing Herba Taraxaci, Rhizoma Chuanxiong, Herba Hedyotis Diffusae, respectively. Conclusion Chinese medicines such as Rhizoma Chuanxiong, Herba Taraxaci, Herba Hedyotis Diffusae, Radix richosanthis, Radix Achyranthis Bidentatae obtained by data mining technology have obviously inhibitory effects on triple-negative breast cancer.

Objective To analyze MRI appearance after augmentation mammoplasty,and to assess the clinical value.Methods Sixty-three cases with augmentation mammoplasty were imaged by MR scanner.MR imaging features of silicone implant and injected implant were analyzed respectively.Results(80 breasts) in 40 patients were with polyacrylamide hydrogel injection.In 50 breasts,the implants were shown as irregular gel in mammary gland,pectoralis muscle,and subcutaneous tissue.Auto-fat injection in both side of breast was performed in 7 cases.Among them,fibrofatty mass was detected in 12 breasts,fat-fluid interface was seen in 6 breasts,and fat in pectoralis major was revealed in 6 breasts.Silicone implant in both side of breast was performed in 16 cases.2 breasts in 2 case were detected as saline-filled implants with intracapsular rupture.14 cases were with silicone gel-filled implants,among them,4 breasts were found to have extracapsular rupture and 10 breasts intracapsular rupture.Conclusion MRI is a perfect method in accessing the patients with augmentation mammoplasty.

Objective: To propose reasonable suggestions to promote the standardization of clinical studies by reviewing the systematic reviews and meta-analyses of acupuncture-moxibustion treatment of essential hypertension (EH). Methods: Computer retrieval was conducted through Excerpta Medica Database (EMBASE), PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chongqing VIP Database (CQVIP), China Biology Medicine Disc (CBM), and Wanfang Academic Journal Full-text Database (Wanfang) to collect systematic reviews and meta-analyses relevant to treating EH with acupuncture-moxibustion therapy. The time range was from the database's inception till July, 2020. The studies were screened based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria and then data-extracted. The study's quality and evidence ratings were performed by referring to the preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA), a measurement tool to assess systematic reviews 2 (AMSTAR 2), and the grading of recommendations, assessment, development, and evaluation (GRADE). Results: A total of 14 studies, 10 in Chinese and 4 in English, published between 2012 and 2019, were included, involving 70 outcome measures. The methodological quality was rated as critically low, the reporting was relatively complete or had certain flaws, and the evidence strength was rated as low or very low. Conclusion: Regarding the acupuncture-moxibustion treatment of EH, the methodological quality and outcome measure evidence of existing systematic reviews and meta-analyses are relatively low, and the reporting quality also expects further improvements.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effectiveness of sleeve circumcision of prepuce and coronary sulcus skin in the treatment of patients with multiple condyloma acuminatum (CA) of coronary sulcus of penis.

METHODSIn a randomized clinical control study, 35 patients were randomized to the treatment group and received sleeve circumcision of prepuce and coronary sulcus skin. 34 patients were randomized to the control group, received electric cauterization of verrucae plus the general circumcision. The recurrence of CA was evaluated in follow-up visit within three months after the treatment.

RESULTSThe stitches were taken out 10.2 days after operation in the treatment group, and 8.1 days in the control group. There were no complication in the treatment group, the average healing time of electric cauterization wound was 19.4 days in the control group. There was a statistically significant difference in the recurrence rate of CA between the treatment group and the control group (5.7% vs 26.5% , P <0.05).

CONCLUSIONSThe sleeve circumcision of prepuce and coronary sulcus skin is more effective than electric cauterization of verrucae plus the general circumcision in the treatment of patients with multiple condyloma acuminatum of coronary sulcus of penis.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of overdose fluoride on the expression of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in rat incisors.

METHODSTwenty Wistar rats were randomly divided into 2 groups: group I (control group) distilled water was given; group II (experimental group) 100 mg/L NaF was given. The rats were killed at the end of 8 th week. Immunohistochemical staining was used to study the expression of bFGF in rat incisors.

RESULTSImmunohistochemical results demonstrated the presence of bFGF in ameloblasts, odontoblasts of rat incisors. The expression of bFGF was reduced in group II (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONSOverdose fluoride inhibits the expression of bFGF and affects the interaction between dental epithelium and dental mesenchyme, which leads to the enamel demineralization.

OBJECTIVETo study the changes of body composition in females patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related lipodystrophy (LD) syndrome (HIV-LD).

METHODSTotally 25 female patients who were treated in our hospital from January 2002 to December 2009 were divided into LD group and non-LD group based on the existence of LD. All these patients were receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). In addition, 12 healthy women were set as the controls. Total and regional body composition were measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry in all three groups.

RESULTSThe fat mass (FM) was correlated negatively with the duration of HAART (r=-0.431, P=0.029). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that FM had positive correlation with weight and negative correlation with lean mass (LM) (r = - 0. 973, P =0. 000). Total, trunk and leg FM were significantly lower in LD patients than that in controls (P <0.05).Meanwhile, total, trunk and leg bone mineral contents were statistically lower in LD patients than that in controls (P <0. 05). Lumbar bone mineral density of LD patients was lower than that of non-LD patients and controls, and there was significant difference between LD patients and controls (P = 0. 001). LM of LD patients was higher than that of non-LD patients but without statistical difference (P > 0. 05).

CONCLUSIONSThe peripheral and central FM and bone mineral contents remarkably decrease in female patients with HIV-LD. How-ever, HIV-LD patients tend to have higher LM than non-LD patients. .

OBJECTIVETo explore the effective therapeutic method in the treatment of idiopathic sudden hearing loss (ISHL).

METHODSOne hundred and eighty-eight cases of ISHL were randomized into a warming-promoting needling group (74 cases), a conventional acupuncture group (56 cases) and a medication group (58 cases). In the conventional acupuncture group, the conventional needling technique was applied to Baihui (GV 20), Fengchi (GB 20), Yifeng (TE 17), Tinggong (SI 19), Touqiaoyin (GB 11) and Zhigou (TE 6) on the affected side. The treatment was given 5 times each week. Totally, the treatment of 6 weeks was required. In the warming-promoting needling group, on the basic treatment as the conventional acupuncture group, the warming-promoting needling technique was applied to Fengchi (GB 20). In the medication group, the intravenous drop with salvia injectio and mecobalamin was prescribed, once per day, for 10 days totally. Meanwhile, Erlong Zuoci Wan was prescribed for oral administration, 8 pills each time, three times a day for 30 days continuously.

RESULTSAll of the three therapeutic methods achieved the effect on ISHL. The total effective rate was 89.2% (66/74) in the warming-promoting needling group, which was better than 62.5% (35/56) in the conventional acupuncture group and 53.4% (31/58) in the medication group (both P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONThe warming-promoting needling techinque achieves the significant efficacy on ISHL. The hearing improvement is superior to that treated with either the conventional needling technique or medication.
