OBJECTIVE:To compare the efficacy and safety of Leonurus artemisia cream and Dan’e fukang cream in the treat-ment of primary dysmenorrhea. METHODS:80 patients with primary dysmenorrheal were randomly divided into L. artemisia cream group (40 cases) and Dan’e fukang cream group (40 cases). L. artemisia cream group received L. artemisia cream 10 g, orally,twice a day. Dan’e fukang cream group received Dan’e fukang cream 10 g,orally,twice a day. The treatment was stated before 10 days of menstruation. 10 days was regarded as 1 treatment course,and it lasted for 6 courses. Cold drink and food were forbid during medication,washing face and feet with warm water,soaking feet with hot water if they can,paying attention to keep the lower abdomen and legs warm. If patients felt unbearable pain in menstruation,0.3 g Ibuprofen sustained release capsule was given,orally twice a day. Clinical efficacy,symptom score(dysmenorrhea degree,abdominal pain,lumbosacral pain)before and af-ter treatment,dysmenorrhea duration,frequency of taking painkillers and the incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were ob-served. RESULTS:There were no significant differences in the total effective rate and the incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups (P>0.05). Before treatment,there were no significant differences in dysmenorrhea degree,abdominal pain,lumbosacral pain score,dysmenorrheal duration and frequency of taking painkillers in 2 groups (P>0.05). After treatment,the dysmenorrhea degree,abdominal pain,lumbosacral pain score in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,and Dan’e fukang cream group was lower than L. artemisia cream group with statistical sighificance(P<0.05),and dysmenorrheal duration and frequency of taking painkillers were significantly lower than before,with statistical significance(P<0.05),while there was no significant difference in 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Both L. artemisia cream and Dan’e fukang cream have good efficacy and safety in the treat-ment of primary dysmenorrhea,while Dan’e fukang cream is superior to L. artemisia cream in terms of improving clinical symp-toms.

Objective To explore the relationship between plasma interleukin-11(sIL-11) level and platelet count post-chemotherapy with hematological malignancy patients and analyse a sIL-11 level which may maintain a safe platelet count so as to guide the treatment. Methods Blood samples were collected from the patients with hematological malignancy at certain time point of pre-and post-chemotherapy, and serum level of sIL-11 and platelet count were determined separately. Different statistical methods were applied to test the relationship between sIL-11 level and platelet changes. Results 99 cases finished this study. The findings are: the sIL-11 level went up and reached the peak on day 6 post-chemotherapy, while the platelet count kept dropping to the lowest on day 10, the sIL-11 peak occurred before the lowest platelet count, patients with faster sIL-11 increase may maintain a comparatively higher plateled count. 99 eases were grouped according to the lowest platelet count and compared: the group with higher platelet count tend to have higher peak sIL-11, more cases with higher peak sIL-11, with faster daily average sIL-11 increase, the lowest platelet count occurred later. Logistic regression analysis showed the factors contributed to lower platelet includes slower daily average sIL-11 increase and sIL-11 level less than 2000 pg/ml on Day4 post-chemotherapy. Conclusion There were correlation between the serum sIL-11 level and platelet counts, the platelet count change may be predicted by determining the plasma sIL-11 level post-chemotherapy. Patients with sIL-11 level less than 2000 pg/ml on Day4 post-chemotherapy may be endangered with severe thrombocytopenia, rhIL-11 or platelet transfusion treatment should be considered.

Objective To investigate the effect of once yearly zoledronic acid of 5 mg on postmenopausal women with osteoporosis of different causes. MethodsFrom October 2009 to December 2009,a total of 89 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis were enrolled and assigned into 2 groups.There were 45 cases of primary postmenopausal osteoporosis,including 27 cases of fresh fracture,in group A.They were aged from 47 to 83 years,with an average of 63.7 years.There were 44 cases of secondary postmenopausal osteoporosis,including 28 cases of fresh fracture,in group B.All patients were given a.single 30-minute intravenous injection of zoledronic acid (5 mg),supplemented by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D of 0.25 μg and calcium of 600 mg with VitD125 IU daily.At pre-intervention and 12 months after intervention respectively,bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual-X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at the lumbar spine and hip,and a balance test(Sunlight Tetrax- Ⅱ) was performed to evaluate the risk of falling.Intervention compliance of the patients and adverse events related to zoledronic acid infusion were observed. Results All cases of fresh fracture healed well at 3-month follow-up.At 12 months,43 subjects in group A and 42 subjects in group B completed the follow-up.In group A,BMD increased by 5.8％ at the lumbar spine,by 2.9％ at the femoral neck,by 5.2％ at the Words area,by 5.3％ at the greater trochanter and by 3.9％ at the total hip while the risk of falling decreased by 26.1％; in group B,BMD increased by by 3.4％ at the lumbar spine,by 2.1％ at the femoral neck,by 3.2％ at the Words area,by 3.0％ at the greater trochanter and by 2.5％ at the total hip while the risk of falling decreased by 21.8％.The differences between pre-intervention and post-intervention were significant in both groups ( P ＜ 0.05).No intolerable adverse events occurred in both groups except that one new fracture happened in each group but responded to conservative treatment.ConclusionA once-yearly infusion of zoledronic acid of 5 mg is a convenient and effective therapy for treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.

BACKGROUND:Maxil ofacial malformation limits the function of the mandible, produces the overload of the temporalmandibular joint leading to oral diseases. OBJECTIVE:To measure the characteristics of mandibular movement in populations with various types of dental occlusion. METHODS:Thirty-three volunteers (1 male and 32 females, mean age 21.71 years) meeting the inclusion criteria were enrol ed from Dalian Medical University, China and divided into four groups:normal control (n=10), Angle’s class I, II, III malocclusion (n=10, 8, 5). The protrusion, lateral, opening motion trace of mandibular central incisor and the right mandibular first molar, and the trace from mandibular postural position to intercuspal position were measured using the mandibular kinesiograph. The features of different occlusal patterns were analyzed using SPSS 17.0 software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the trace of protrusion, lateral, opening and closing motion, there were significant differences in the trace of the right mandibular first molar’s Max.Slant between Angle’s class II malocclusion group and the other three groups (P<0.05). In the trace of open wide and close fast, there were significant differences in the trace of mandibular central incisor in vertical distances between normal control group and Angle’s class I, III malocclusion groups (P<0.05);there were significant differences in the trace of mandibular central incisor in Max.Slant between normal control group and Angle’s class I malocclusion group (P<0.05);there were significant differences in the trace of the right mandibular first molar in vertical distances between Angle’s class II malocclusion group and the other three groups (P<0.05);there were significant differences in the trace of the right mandibular first molar in Max.Opening velocity between normal control group and Angle’s class II, III malocclusion groups (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in free space between the four groups (P>0.05). These results indicate that there are differences in the trace of mandibular central incisor and the trace of the right mandibular first molar in range and speed between different occlusal patterns. We can draw a conclusion that malocclusion has effects on the direction, range and speed of mandibular movement.

Background/Aims: Low educational attainment is a well-established risk factor for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in developed areas. However, the association between educational attainment and the risk of NAFLD is less clear in China. Methods: A cross-sectional study including over 200,000 Chinese adults across mainland China was conducted. Information on education level and lifestyle factors were obtained through standard questionnaires, while NAFLD and advanced fibrosis were diagnosed using validated formulas. Outcomes included the risk of NAFLD in the general population and high probability of fibrosis among patients with NAFLD. Logistic regression analysis was employed to estimate the risk of NAFLD and fibrosis across education levels. A causal mediation model was used to explore the potential mediators. Results: Comparing with those receiving primary school education, the multi-adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for NAFLD were 1.28 (1.16 to 1.41) for men and 0.94 (0.89 to 0.99) for women with college education after accounting for body mass index. When considering waist circumference, the odds ratios (95% CIs) were 0.94 (0.86 to 1.04) for men and 0.88 (0.80 to 0.97) for women, respectively. The proportions mediated by general and central obesity were 51.00% and 68.04% for men, while for women the proportions were 48.58% and 32.58%, respectively. Furthermore, NAFLD patients with lower educational attainment showed an incremental increased risk of advanced fibrosis in both genders. Conclusions In China, a low education level was associated with a higher risk of prevalent NAFLD in women, as well as high probability of fibrosis in both genders.

Background Aluminum activates signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), causing microglial nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain-like receptors protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation and inflammatory responses and producing neurotoxicity. Objective To explore the role of STAT3 regulated NLRP3 inflammasomes in the inflammatory response of mouse microglia cell line (BV2) cells induced by maltol aluminum [Al(mal)₃]. Methods BV2 cells were assigned to five groups: one control group, three Al(mal)₃ exposure groups (low, medium, and high doses at 40, 80, and 160 μmol·L⁻¹ Al(mal)₃ respectively), and one C188-9 (STAT3 antagonist) intervention group [10 μmol·L⁻¹ C188-9 +160 μmol·L⁻¹ Al(mal)₃]. Cell viability was detected by CCK8. The expression of M1/M2 type markers, i.e. CD68/CD206, STAT3, p-STAT3, NLRP3, cleaved-casepase-1, and apoptosis-associated speck-like protein (ASC) in BV2 cells were detected by Western blotting, and proinflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18, and anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 were determined by ELISA. Results The results of cell viability assay showed that cell viability gradually decreased with the increase of Al(mal)₃ dose. Compared with the control group, the cell viability of the Al(mal)₃ high-dose group was decreased by 18% (P<0.05); compared with the Al(mal)₃ high-dose group, the cell viability of the C188-9 intervention group was significantly elevated by 14% (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the expression levels of CD68 in the Al(mal)₃ low-, medium-, and high-dose groups were elevated by 19%, 20%, and 21%, respectively (P<0.05); the expression level of CD206 in the Al(mal)₃ high-dose group was decreased by 25% (P<0.05). Compared with the Al(mal)₃ high-dose group, the expression level of CD68 in the C188-9 intervention group was reduced by 9% (P<0.05), whereas the expression level of CD206 was elevated by 22% (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the p-STAT3 protein expression and the p-STAT3/STAT3 ratio in the Al(mal)₃ high-dose group increased by 129% and 127%, respectively (P<0.05). Compared with the Al(mal)₃ high-dose group, the p-STAT3 protein expression and the p-STAT3/STAT3 ratio in the C188-9 intervention group were decreased by 55% and 54%, respectively (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the expression level of NLRP3 protein increased by 75% in the Al(mal)₃ high-dose group (P<0.05), the expression levels of cleaved-casepase-1 protein increased by 28% and 35% in the Al(mal)₃ medium- and high-dose groups (P<0.05), and the expression levels of ASC increased by 22%, 25%, and 53% in the Al(mal)₃ low-, medium- and high-dose groups (P<0.05), respectively. Compared with the Al(mal)₃ high-dose group, the expression levels of NLRP3, cleaved-casepase-1, and ASC proteins in the C188-9 intervention group decreased by 30%, 19%, and 32%, respectively (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the levels of IL-1β in the Al(mal)₃ medium- and high-dose groups increased by 18% and 21%, respectively (P<0.05), and the level of IL-18 in the Al(mal)₃ high-dose group increased by 10% (P<0.05). Compared with the Al(mal)₃ high-dose group, the IL-18 levels were reduced by 23% in the C188-9 intervention group (P<0.05). The content of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 did not differ significantly between groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Aluminum can induce inflammatory responses in BV2 microglia and is predominantly pro-inflammatory, and the mechanism may involve STAT3 regulation of NLRP3 inflammasome secretion of inflammatory factors.
