Objective To observe the effects of acupuncture combined with traditional Chinese medicine on scores of TCM syndrome and Neck Pain Questionnaire (NPQ) in patients of cervical spondylosis with syndrome of cold locking the collaterals. Methods Ninety cases of patients were randomly divided into acupuncture combined with TCM group, TCM group, and acupuncture group, 30 cases in each group. The acupuncture combined with TCM group was given modified Guizhi plus Gegen decoction and electro acupuncture;the TCM group was given modified Guizhi plus Gegen decoction only;the acupuncture group was given electro acupuncture only. The scores of TCM syndrome and NPQ of the three groups were observed and analyzed comparatively. Results The deviation scores of TCM syndrome and NPQ before and after treatment of the acupuncture combined with TCM group were higher than the acupuncture group and the TCM group (P<0.05), but there was no statistical difference between the acupuncture group and the TCM group (P>0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture combined with traditional Chinese medicine can relieve clinical symptoms of patients with cervical spondylosis with syndrome of cold locking the collaterals, ease their cervical pain, and improve their cervical function.

Objective To explore the influence of patient-controlled epidural analgesia(PCEA) on incidence of postpartum depression after cesarean section. Methods 256 cases of singleton term primary cesarean delivery were randomly divided into the study group( 130 cases)and the control group( 126 cases).The study group retained analgesia pump connected with epidural catheter,analgesic liquid was injected.In the control group,epidural catheter was removed,and was given intramuscular injection of pethidine hydrochloride 100 mg 4～6 h after operation,repeated 6 h later,total dosage was 200 mg.Postoperative observation time was 48h.Plasma prolactin(PRL) concentration was determined by radioimmunoassay in prenatal,postnatal 24 h and 48 h.Edinburgh postnatal depression scale (EPDS) was used to assess depression state 6 weeks postpartum in the two groups.The incidence of postpartum depression was compared between two groups. Results The plasma PRL level in the study group was significantly higher than the control group 24 h,48 h postpartum.The incidence rate of depression in the study group was 6.15％,while was 16.67％ in the control group,the differences were statistically significant. Conclusions The application of PCEA after cesarean section can significantly reduce the incidence of postpartum depression,and has very important practical significance in preventing the incidence of postpartum depression.

ObJective To acknowledge the sleep status of infants and analyze the influencing factors of sleep problems in them. Methods The sleep status of 136 infants and its influencing factors were investigat-ed using questionnaires, the results underwent descriptive analysis, single-factor analysis and multifactor anal-ysis. Results Difficulty in falling asleep was the major sleep problems, then was frequent night awakening. The influencing factors included: family type, education degree of the parents, inhabited environment, the feed-ing mode after birth, the period of supplementary protein dietary addition, the times of taking food through the night, and the sleep position, the bed, the emotion when falling asleep, etc. Conclusions Sleep problems is ubiquity in infants,and the unproper child rearing behaviors is the major influencing factor. In order to prevent sleep problems in infants and improve the quality of sleep in them, the parents need health guidance.

Objective:To study the effect of calcium sodium phosphosilicate(CSP)on the enamel remineralization of primary teeth. Methods:30 extracted human healthy primary molars were collected.Each tooth was cut bucco-lingually and mesial-distally into 4 sections.The sections were assigned randomly into 4 groups(n =30).Demineralization and remineralization cyclic model was estab-lished by etching with 35% phosphate acid for 2 min and then treated by unexposure of the sample to nothing(control,group A),so-dium monofluorophosphat(MFP,group B),CSP(group C)and MFP +CSP(group D).The cyclic was repeated twice daily for 30 d. The enamel surface morphology was observed by SEM and the surface microhardness(SMH)was measured.Results:On the tenth day,squamous morphology was observed on the enamel surface of group A and that of group D appeared less demineralization.The SMH value of group D was significant higher than that of group A(P <0.05).On the thirtieth day,obvious demineralization was ob-served in group A.Group B,C and D appeared surface remineralization.The SMH value of group B,C and D was significant higher than that of group A(P <0.05).Highest SMH value was achieved in group D.Conclusion:CSP combined with fluoride is more ef-fective in the enamel remineralization of primary teeth than the single application of them.

AIM: To investigate anti-oxidative and mitochondria protective effects of resveratrol on focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. METHODS: Middle cerebral artery occlusion(MACO) was used to induce focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model.After 24 h reperfusion,MDA,GSH,NO,LD content and SOD activity in brain homogenate were determined,MDA,GSH content and SOD,ATPase activity in mitochondria were also determined. RESULTS: Resveratrol significantly inhibited the increase in MDA,NO,LD content and the decrease in SOD activity and GSH content in brain after cerbral ischemia-reperfusion.Resveratrol also significantly inhibited the increase in MDA and the decrease in activity of SOD,Na~+-K~+-ATPase,Ca~(2+)-Mg~(2+)-ATPase in mitochondria. CONCLUSION: Resvertrol has protective effects on focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury via attenuating cerebral oxygen free radical lipid peroxidation and protecting mitochondria.

Objective To investigate the endoluminal ultrasonographie characteristics of adenoearcinoma and mucous adenocareinoma of the rectum. Methods The ultrasonographie characteristics of thirty eases of advanced adenoeareinoma of the rectum and twenty-eight eases of rectal mucous adenoearcinoma were analyzed retrospectively in comparison with their eorresponding pathologic images. Results In advanced adenocareinoma of the rectum, 28 eases manifested rough endoluminal surface, of which 19 marked by thickened changes without arrangement of layers, 10 had indistinct arrangement of layers in some areas and one had clear arrangement of layers. In the deepest margin of infiltration, 17 eases manifested sentus, homed or knot-like protuberance, while 5 marked by wavy margins, and 8 cases had clear and fiat margins. In 25 eases of rectal mucous adenocareinoma, 20 manifested smooth endoluminal surface. With regard to infiltration of tumors to rectal wall, 6 cases manifested clear arrangement of layers, while 13 had clear arrangement of layers in part and 6 had no clear arrangement. In the deepest part of infiltration, 8 eases manifested slippery and fiat margins and 10 manifested wavy margins and 7 had a few sentus, homed or knot-like protuberance locally. According to ultrasonic results of the depth of infiltration to rectal wall in comparison with pathologic findings, 25 eases were diagnosed accurately, while in two cases the diagnosis was too shallow and in three eases it was too deep. In rectal mucous adenocarcinoma, 10 cases got correct diagnosis and 14 were diagnosed superficially and one got too deep. The accuracy of ultrasonic diagnosis on rectal mueoas adenoearcinoma was apparently lower than that of adenoeareinoma and most of the misdiagnosis were too superfieiai. Conclusion There are different ultrasonographie characteristics of rectal adenoeareinoma and rectal mucous adenoeareinoma, which can be helpful for the typing of rectal carcinoma and avoiding excessively superficial misdiagnosis.

Objective To study the sonographic features of solid-pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas(SPTP) and to explore the value of ultrasound in the dignosis,differential dignosis and type of SPTP.Methods B-mode ultrasonography and color Doppler flow imaging(CDFI) of nine cases of SPTP confirmed by clinical and pathology were enrolled in the study and some cases were compared with the findings of computed tomography (CT).Results On B-mode ultrasound images,tumors showed solid,solid and cystic alternative distributions or cystic structures,presenting as round or oval shape,well-defined margins.Of these nine lesions,one was mainly composed of solid part,seven showed solid tumor with cystic component inside and one showed cystic tumor.All tumors were encapsulated.The encapsulation was completive in seven cases,incontinuous in one case and interruptive in one case.In CDFI,blood flow was found in five cases, three cases were I-brand,one case was II-brand,one case was III-brand.The peak systolic velocity ranged from 8.6 cm/s to 33.2 cm/s,three cases were less than 20 cm/s.Resistance index(RI) varied from 0.38 to 0.56 and three cases were lower than 0.5.According to the sonographic features of SPTP,combined with related reviews about the tumor,those masses were classified into three types as homogeneous solid,solid and cystic alternative distributions and cystic tumor.Conclusions The B-mode ultrasound and CDFI characteristic findings might be of great value in dignosis and differential dignosis of SPTP.

AIM:To explore the effect of aldosterone on visfatin gene expression and secretion in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes or adipocytes.METHODS:Aldosterone at concentration of 10-8 or 10-6 mol/L with or without 10-6 mol/L spironolactone was added to cultured 3T3-L1 preadipocytes or adipocytes for 24 h or 48 h.The mRNA levels of visfatin and mineralocorticoid receptor were measured using real time PCR.The concentration of visfatin in the culture medium was determined by ELISA.RESULTS:In 3T3-L1 preadipocytes treated with aldosterone,the mRNA expression of visfatin reduced and the mRNA expression of mineralocorticoid receptor(MR) increased,but the concentration of visfatin in culture medium was not regulated significantly by aldosterone.In adipocytes with aldosterone treatment,the mRNA expression of visfatin and visfatin concentration in culture medium reduced,and mRNA expression of MR increased.The effect of aldosterone was blocked by spironolactone to some extent.CONCLUSION:Aldosterone inhibits the gene expression and protein secretion of visfatin in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
