Investigations were made on 131 girls and 134 boys, aged 11-18, and divided into four age groups,using the Wingate Anaerobic Test to find out the age and sex characteristics of anaerobic capacity.Results showed that for the males both the absolute and relative values of mean power and peakpower increased with age (P0.05). The increase from the 11-12 to the 13-14 age group was the most remarkable for both sexes. Sex difference was slightfor the 11-12 age group-significant in absolute value (P

The discovery and use of antibiotics is one of the most important breakthroughs in medical history.However, the uprising and spread of the drug-resistance bacterial pathogens have posed a great threat on human health once again.There is an urgent need to develop new antibiotics.Traditional Chinese medicine contains a large volume of bioactive substances suited for novel antibiotic development.However, clinical use of antibiotics of Chinese medicine originis are very rare despite the fact that Chinese medicine has been used for infectious diseases for many years.In this paper, we propose a new mechanism of action for Chinese medicine in treating infectious diseases based on our experimental data.Unlike conventional antibiotics which kill pathogens or inhibit their growth, the traditional Chinese medicine probably function through repressing bacterial pathogenicity.That is, they are actually “antipathogenic drugs”.There are several advantages these antipathogenic drugs possess over traditional antibiotics, including that pathogens are less likely to develop resistance and the drugs have less effect on normal members of the human microbe.

Objective To study the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) expressed in invasive pituitary adenomas (IPA). Methods The expression of TNF-α and IL-6 were observed with immunohistochemstry (SP approach) in tissue from 40 cases of non-invasive pituitary adenomas (NIPA) and 40 cases of IPA. Results The expression of both TNF-α and IL-6 was significantly increased in the IPA tissues compared with those of NIPA (P<0.05). Conclusion TNF-α and IL-6 may play a role in the occurrence and development of IPA.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the indication of endosseous dental implant,evaluate the effectiveness of clinical application of endosseous dental implant for tooth loss,and study the possible factors which may affect the success rate of implant denture.Methods One hundred and fifty-seven endosseous dental implants in 94 patients were followed up for 4 months to 8 years.The indications of endosseous dental implant were studied based on the changes in the distribution of dental implants in jawbone.The success rate of osseointegration and restoration of the endosseous dental implant were evaluated by checking the soft tissue around the implants,the stability of the implants,the bone resorption around the implants,and the degree of stability against rotation of the implants.Results The rate of performing endosseous dental implant for restoration of full-mouth anodontia was 7.6%,the rate of endosseous dental implant used in the free end anodontia was 25.5%,and it was 66.9% in non-free end anodontia.The success rate of osseointegration in the endosseous dental implant was 98.1%,and 5 years after prosthesis the success ratio of the endosseous dental implant was 93.8%.The success ratio of the endosseous dental implants which the primary stability(anti-rotation torsion)

Objective To study the importance of radial height restoration in the type C distal radial fractures and selection of therapeutic method.Methods Sixty-one cases of type C distal radial fractures in the department of joint orthopedics and traumatic orthopedics of affiliated traumatic and orthopedic hospital of Guangzhou university of Chinese medicine from June 2013 to September 2015 were retrospectively analyzed, including 34 cases of C1 type,14 cases of C2 type and 13 cases of C3 type according to the AO/ASIF fracture classification, the cases were divided into the manual reduction and splint external fixation group (27 cases), external fixator group (18 cases) and plate screw internal fixation group (16 cases).The radial height, palm inclination angle, ulnar inclination angle and Gartland-Werley (G-W) score after treatment were compared among various groups.Results Fifty-eight cases were followed up.The radial height, ulnar inclination angle and G-W score had statistical difference among 3 groups (P<0.05), while the palm inclination angle had no statistical difference among 3 groups (P>0.05);the difference of radial height and ulnar inclination angle between the external fixator group and plate screw internal fixation group had no statistical significance (P>0.05), but there were statistically significant differences when these two groups were compared with the manual reduction and splint external fixation group respectively (P<0.05).The G-W score had no statistical difference between the manual reduction splint fixation group and the external fixator group (P>0.05) , but there were statistically significant differences when these two groups were compared with the the plate screw internal fixation group respectively (P<0.05).Conclusion The radial height restoration may better recovery ulnar inclination angle and improve the joint function.

Objective:Concentrated growth factors (CGF),a new generation of platelet concentrate products,appears to have more abundant growth factors because of its special centrifugation process.However,there are few studies supporting this.This study was designed to evaluate the effect of CGFs in the treatment of Ⅱ ° furcations of mandibular molars.Methods:In the present study,thirty-one Ⅱ ° furcation involvements in twenty mandiblular molars were included and randomly divided into two groups.The furcation involvements in the experimental group were treated with bone graft therapy combined with CGFs,and the furcation involvements in the control group were treated with bone graft therapy alone.The clinical examination and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) were performed at baseline and 1 year post-surgery for the two groups.The changes of clinical and CBCT data at baseline and 1 year postsurgery were compared between the experimental group and the control group.Results:At baseline,there were no significant differences between the two groups in the probing depth (PD),vertical clinical attachment loss (CAL-V) and horizontal clinical attachment loss (CAL-H):PD (7.36 ± 2.32) mm (the experimental group) vs.(7.53 ±2.06) mm (the control group);CAL-V (8.69 ± 1.65) mm (the experimental group) vs.(8.81 ±1.53) mm (the control group);CAL-H (5.24 ±2.01) mm (the experimental group) vs.(5.35 ±2.14) mm (the control group).At the end of 1 year post-surgery,the clinical parameters of both groups were significantly improved (P ＜ 0.001).For the experimental group,the average vertical attachment gain was (2.78 ± 1.66) mm,and the vertical attachment loss was improved significantly compared with the baseline (P ＜ 0.001);the average horizontal attachment gain was (2.10 ± 1.89) mm,and the horizontal attachment loss were improved significantly compared with the baseline (P ＜ 0.001).Furthermore,the improvement degree of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P ＜ 0.001).At baseline,there were no statistical differences in the vertical bone loss (BL-V) or horizontal bone loss (BL-H) between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05):BL-V (5.08 ± 2.17) mm (the experimental group) vs.(5.84 ± 2.65) mm (the control group);BL-H (5.85 ±2.13) mm (the experimental group) vs.(6.01 ±2.27) mm (the control group).At 1 year post-surgery,both groups showed significant radiographic bone gain at vertical and horizontal directions compared with baseline (P ＜ 0.001).For the experimental group,the average vertical radiographic bone gain was (2.20 ± 1.98) mm,the horizontal radiographic bone gain was (2.51 ±2.18) mm,the vertical and horizontal radiographic bone loss were both significantly reduced compared with the baseline (P ＜ 0.001).For the control group,the average vertical radiographic bone gain was (1.89 ± 2.15) mm,the horizontal radiographic bone gain was (1.30 ± 2.47) mm,the vertical and horizontal radiographic bone losses were both significantly reduced compared with the baseline (P ＜ 0.001).And the experimental group showed significantly higher bone gain at vertical and horizontal directions compared with the control group (P ＜ 0.001).Conclusion:Within the limitation of the present study,CGFs showed positive role in the treatment of Ⅱ° furcation involvements of mandibular molars.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical application of endovascular treatment for severe Takayasu's arteritis (TA).MethodsIn this study,35 target lesions in 32 patients [28 women,mean age (30 ±8) years] with severe Takayasu's arteritis were treated with endovascular merthod.The average length of lesion was 3.1 cm( range 2.7 -5.3).The overall average degree of diameter stenosis was 90％ ± 11％ (range 70- 100)in which 15 lesions were completely occlusive.There were 10 patients whose ESR were higher than 20 mm/h( range 25 -37).Follow-up included physical examination and patency evaluated by color duplex souography/computed tomography angiography/angiography at 6 months and then annually.ResultsRecanalization was unsuccessful in 3 completely occlusive lesions,with a successful rate of 80％(12/15).There was one case in which embolization leading to acute thrombogenesis developed during interventional procedure and resulting in severe stroke.The technical successful rate ( residual stenosis ＜ 50％ ) was 88.6％ ( 31/35 ).The transient cerebral ischemia attack ( TIA ) symptoms disappeared in 31 cases.26 cases were followed up for an average of (19 ± 10) months (range 13 -40).Occipital infarction following severe in-stent restenosis developed 13 months later in one case.Symptomatic in-stent restenosis18monthslaterwasfoundin2cases. Patencyratewas88.5％( 23/26 ).ConclusionsEndovascular treatment is safe and effective for severe TA.Strict indication and accurate targeting the lesions help ensure the success of management.

Objective: To assess the effect of percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation (PTSMA) on mid- to long-term left ventricular diastolic function in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) by real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT-3DE). Methods: A total of 46 HOCM patients who received 2DE and RT-3DE examination before and after (with the mean of 18.8 months) PTSMA were studied. The ratios of E/A and E/Ea were analyzed, RT-3DE was conducted to collect the images, to obtain 17-segmant volume-time curve and to calculate the parameters of rEDV, rESV, rSV and rPFR respectively. Results: The follow-up echocardiography in all 46 patients indicated that the ratio of E/Ea decreased after the operation (12.04 ± 3.29) vs (15.70 ± 5.68),P<0.001, the rSV of left ventricular anterior wall middle segment and anterior septal middle segment decreased after the operation,P<0.05, while the rPFR of anterior septal middle segment, rear septal middle segment and apical segment increased,P<0.05. Conclusion: PTSMA may improve local left ventricular diastolic function in HOCM patients, RT-3DE provides a new method and viewing angle for HOCM evaluation.
