Objective To investigate the infection of Chlamydia (CT) Untie urea mycoplasma (UU) and person type mycoplasma (MH) in urology outpatients clinic and sexually transmitted diseases clinic and drug resist-ance. Methods A British UNIPATH Clean View Chlamydia rapid immunoassay kits and Tianyang Zhongshan City electronic biosensor Limited production of mycoplasma culture and identification of susceptibility kit were used for the detection of secretion from 3,280 cases of non-gonococcal urethritis (GNU). Results Of 3,280 cases of GNU, only 241 cases were detected with positive CT, accounting for 7.35%, 1163 cases with simply UU positive, ac-counting for 35.46%, only 14 cases with MH positive, accounting for 0.43% ,. Overall detection rate of UU and CT was 42.77% and 11.59% respectively. 122 cases were detected with positive UU + MH, accounting for 3.72%. Female infection rate was higher than that of males (P < 0.01 ) ; UU, MH, MH + UU were more sensitive to azithremycin, Josamycin, doxycycline, roxithromycin, Minocycline. Conclusion The infection rate of urogenital mycoplasma and ehlamydia is higher and drug resistance rate is different. Azithromycin and Josamycin are the best to treat mycoplasma infection, followed by doxycycline, Pyronine Doxycycline, Minocycline.

Objective To study the tooth whitening effect of boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) as a photosensitive drug combining photodynamic therapy (PDT) and the influence on the surface of the enamel.Methods After oxidation of hydrogen peroxide or BODIPY by photodynamic therapy,the extracted teeth were evaluated by Vita shade guides matching.The change of surface enamel on the crystals and microstructure was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).Results The teeth treated with BODIPY by PDT were smooth and whitened with the remineralization of teeth surface in morphology.While the teeth treated with hydrogen peroxide were whitened obviously but the surface morphology of the teeth was demineralized seriously.Conclusion The results suggest that PDT is effective for teeth whitening and can promote the remineralization of teeth surface enamel with BODIPY as a photosensitive drug.PDT is expected to become a new method for tooth whitening.

BACKGROUND: Currently used poly (alkyl-cyanoacrylates) (PACA) produces aldehyde compound in its degradation, which is easily results in toxicity and stimulation to the body. Here, a novel TaxoI-PACA micell material was synthesized, which has broad application as a kind of liposolubility drug delivery carrier. OBJECTIVE: To verify the therapeutic efficacy of Paclitaxel-PECA micells for mouse breast cancer.METHODS: Paclitaxel drug delivery micells were prepared by a multi-emulsification technique and were characterized for size, drug loading capacity, and in vitro release. Bablc breast cancer model mice were randomly divided into the physiological saline, vacant control, paclitaxel positive control, and Paclitaxel-PECA micells with low-dose, medium-dose, and high-dose groups. Paclitaxel and PaclitaxeI-PECA micells were injected into the location of mouse breast cancer, and then the tumor inhibit rates were detected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The mean diameter of Paclitaxel-PECA micells was 70 nm, with 19.89% loading amount of Paclitaxel. In vitro, micells maintained sustained release of Paclitaxel for 2 weeks. Compared with the physiological saline group, the PaclitaxeI-PECA micells group exhibited superior tumor inhibit effects with doses of 30, 60, and 90 mg/kg (P < 0.001 ), which was 68.49%, 77.03% and 81.87%, respectively. The results suggested that Paclitaxel-PECA micells material has excellent acceptability as sustained-release preparation for treating mouse breast cancer.

Objective To compar the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow between empty sella syndrome (ESS) and normal volunteer in the cerebral aqueduct with MRI in phase contrast cine mode. Methods Thirty-eight ESS patients (ESS group) and 38 normal volunteers (control group ) were involved in this study.The aqueduct CSF flow image was positioned perpendicularly to the midbrain aqueduct at the middle sagittal T1WI or T2WI image. The waveforms were analyzed for the flow direction, flow rate, flow volume rate and cardiac cycle.

The systolic period downward peak flow volume rate, diastolic period upward peak flow volume rate, mean downward flow volume rate,mean upward flow volume rate and mean flow volume rate were (0.050 ± 0.003 ), (0.050 ± 0.004), (0.030± 0.002), (0.031 ±0.002), (0.030 ± 0.003 ), ( 0.004 ± 0.001 )ml/s in control group, and (0.058 ± 0.003 ), (0.063 ± 0.005),(0.039 ±0.002), (0.038 ±0.003), (0.038 ±0.003), (0.004 ±0.001) ml/s in ESS group respectively,and there was no significant difference between the two groups(P > 0.05 ). The correspond cardiac cycle of systolic period downward peak flow rate, correspond cardiac cycle of diastolic period upward peak flow rate, mean cardiac cycle were (40.890 ± 37.096), (501.026 ± 19.374), (719.511 ± 14.946) ms in control group,and (35.921 ±6.218), (531.553 ± 16.764), (770.700 ±21.579) ms in ESS group,and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05 ).

Objective To evaluate the combined effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with PSD-007 and cytarabine (Ara-c) on human acute promyelocyte leukemia cell HL-60.Methods The experiments were divided into four groups:control group,PDT-only groups (PDT 1-4 groups:the combination of PSD-007 concentrations (5 μg/ml and 7.5 μg/ml) and the energy density of laser (EDL) (1.2 J/cm2 and 2.4 J/cm2),Ara-c-only groups (Ara-c A group:0.3μg/ml,Ara-c B group:1.2μg/ml) and combination groups (the pair-wise combinations of the PDT doses and Ara-c doses above).All combination groups were treated with three treating methods,including P24A (the cells were treated with PDT for 24 h,and then cocultured with Ara-c for another 24 h),A24P (treated with Ara-c for 24 h before PDT,and then cocultured with PDT for 24 h),and PA24 (treated with the Ara-c and PDT for 24 h).CCK-8 method was used to test the cell viability,and the combined effect was analyzed using King formula.The changes of cell cycles were analyzed using flow cytometry.Results In the case of low-dose PDT,the combination groups showed coordinated effect with all three methods,whereas in the case of high-dose PDT,they showed additive or coordinated effect in P24A and A24P,but it showed antagonistic effect in the schedule of PA24.Cell cycles were inhibited to G0/G1 phase by both PDT and Ara-c.Conclusions Coordinated effects could be found when HL-60 cells were treated with the combination of Ara-c and PDT.The effects depended on the dose of Ara-c and PDT and the operation schedules.The effects at low dose were more obvious than that of high dose,and allowing a 24 h period in between the addition of PDT and Ara-c also promoted the effects.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of combined needle-embedding and SSRIs for depressive sleep disorder. Method: Upon admission, 71 depression cases were randomized into needle-embedding group of 24 cases, using combined needle-embedding and SSRIs, acupuncture group of 21 cases, using combined acupuncture and SSRIs, and medication group of 26 cases, using SSRIs alone. After 1, 2, 4 and 6 weeks of treatment, the HAMD sleep scores were compared. Result: The HAMD sleep scores in the needle-embedding and acupuncture group were remarkably superior to the medication group and there was significant statistical difference after 1, 2 and 4 weeks of treatment (P<0.01). However, there was no statistical difference after 6 weeks of treatment. Conclusion: SSRIs can improve HAMD sleep scores. The combined needle-embedding or acupuncture with SSRIs can work faster and better than medication alone. There was no statistical difference between needle-embedding and acupuncture group, however, needle-embedding can reduce the treatment frequencies and therefore has more active clinical meaning.
