OBJECTIVETo evaluate effects of different treatments on patients with osteoporotic vertebral fracture after percutaneous kyphoplasty in pain and function.

METHODSFrom March 2010 to March 2012,138 patients (165 vertebrae) with thoracic and lumbar vertebral osteoporotic fracture were randomly divided into three groups (control group, treatment group and comprehensive group), 46 cases in each group, and all patients were treated by PKP. Control group were treated with calcium and calcitriol after operation, treatment group added salmon calcitonin see calcimar based on control group, comprehensive group added incrementality waist musculi dorsi function exercise based on treatment group. VAS, ODI scores and BMD before operation, 3 d, 2 weeks, 1 month, 6 months and 12 months after operation were detected and compared.

RESULTSAll operation were performed successfully,38 cases (45 vertebrae) in control group, 36 cases (44 vertebrae) in treatment group and 40 cases (49 vertebrae) were obtained complete following up, there was no significant meaning in following time among three groups (P>0.05). Postoperative VAS and ODI scores at 3 d, 2 weeks and 1 month among three groups were lower than that of before operation (P<0.01). Compared with control group, postoperative VAS score at 3 d, 2 weeks and 1 month were decreasedin treatment group and comprehensive group, but there was no significant meaning in ODI scores (P>0.05). At 6 and 12 months after operation,there was no significant differences in VAS and ODI between control group and treatment group (P>0.05), while VAS score in comprehensive group decreased much than other two groups,decreased continuously (P<0.01). At 12 months after operation, BMD among three groups were increased more than preoperative,and BMD in comprehensive group was more obviously than that of in control and treatment group.

CONCLUSIONPKP, an effective method for the treatment of thoracic and lumbar vertebral osteoporotic fracture, could improve short-term clinical effects by adding calcitonin with calcium supplements and activated vitamin D.

Objective To study the effects of a synthetic miR3619-5p mimics on bladder carcinoma cell lines of EJ and T24 in vitro.Methods EJ and T24 cells were cultured in vitro and treated with three different processing:negative control group(tinfection with dsControl),positive control group(infection with dsP21-322) and the experimental group(infection with miR-3619-5p)during October 2015 to March 2016.Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qPCR) was performed to detect the expression of p21 mRNA,cell cycle protein D1 (CyclinD1) and cell cycle-dependent kinase (CDK4 and CDK6) mRNA.Western Blot method was conducted to evaluate the expression of p21,CyclinD1 and CDK4 and CDK6 proteins;the change of cell cycle was displayed by flow cytometric analysis.Colony formation assay was used to test the ability of single cancer cell clone proliferation.Cell proliferation assay(MTS) was implemented to observed the inhibitive effect of cell proliferative potential.Results qPCR results showed that miR-3619-5p upregulated p21 mRNA expression (P ＜ 0.05),while the expression of CyclinD1,CDK4 and CDK6 were a little lower(P ＜ 0.05) in EJ and T24cells,respectively.Western Blot analysis testified that the expressions of p21,CyclinD1,CDK4 and CDK6 were difference among groups.Flow cytometry displayed that,the G0/ G1 phase increased significantly after transfected with miR-3619-5p and dsP21-322,compared with dsControl group(P ＜ 0.05),indicating that the cell cycle block in G0/G1 phase.Cell colony formation assay certified that the colony formation rates were less in the groups of miR-3619-5p and dsP21-322 than in that of dsControl group(P ＜ 0.05).Cell proliferation assay demonstrated that,cell proliferation ability decreased obviously when transfected with miR-3619-5p and dsP21-322 (P ＜0.05),compared with dsControl group.Conclusions miR-3619-5p could up-regulate the expression of p21 by RNA activation pathway and remarkably induced cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase,inhibiting the proliferation of bladder cancer cells.

In order to make sure whether Panax notoginseng is sensitive to chloridion and guide fertilization in planting of P. notoginseng, the effects of the different proportion of potassium chloride (KCl) and potassium sulfate (K2SO4) on the yield, quality of P. notoginseng were studied. The results showed that K fertilizer significantly improved the growth of P. notoginseng and increased the biomass per plant or per pot and the content of N, P, K and the content of saponin. In cases of conditions such as potassium, and the effects of K2SO4 on increasing the petiole length, leaf size, rhizome length, root length, and content and accumulation of Ginsenoside Rg1 were better than those of KCl. While compared with K2SO4, KCl was more conducive to augmenting height, root width, the biomass of shoot, rhizome, root and the content of Ginsenoside Rb1 and Rd. There was not remarkable difference in agronomic characters, biomass and the content of N, P, K among KCl, K2SO4 and the combination of KCl and K2SO4. However, the content of saponin of the treatment with combination of KCl and K2SO4 was significant higher than that of single KCl or K2SO4 treatments. K fertilizer significantly increased yield and the content of saponins. And P. notoginseng was not sensitive to chloridion. KCl increased the yield and the content of saponins of P. notoginseng as well as K2SO4, and the combination treatment was superior to single treatment. It is recommended that the KCl should be adopted in production, to reduce the cost of potash fertilizer.

OBJECTIVETo observe the impacts of the acupoint catgut implantation on postpartum pain of uterine contraction with qi and blood deficiency.

METHODSOne hundred and ten primiparas of natural delivery differentiated as qi and blood deficiency pattern in TCM were selected as the subjects. They were randomized into an acupoint catgut implantation group (55 cases) and a routine nursing group (55 cases). In the acupoint catgut implantation group, the catgut was implanted in Zigong (EX-CA 1), Zusanli (ST 36), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Pishu (BL 20) and Geshu (BL 17) in 6 h after delivery; additionally, the routine post-delivery nursing was adopted. In the routine nursing group, the routine post-delivery nursing was applied simply. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and the pain relief time of uterine contraction were compared in 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 96 h after acupoint catgut implantation between the two groups.

RESULTSVAS Scores in 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 96 h after acupoint catgut implantation in the acupoint catgut implantation group were lower apparently than those in the routine nursing group (3.31 +/- 0.39 vs 4.31 +/- 0.29, 1.86 +/- 0.29 vs 2.66 +/- 0.25, 0.89 +/- 0.21 vs 1.59 +/- 0.24, 0.35 +/- 0.10 vs 0.69 +/- 0.13, all P < 0.05). The pain relief was achieved in (72.06 +/- 6.83) h in the acupoint catgut implantation group and was (123.42 +/- 11.12) h in the routine nursing group. The pain relief in the acupoint catgut implantation group was achieved more quickly (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONThe intervention of acupoint catgut implantation in 6 h after natural delivery in primiparas prevents effectively postpartum pain of uterine contraction.
