OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical effect of Shen-reinforcing and menstrual cycle-regulating therapy (SRMCRT) combined with Western medicine (WM) in treating decline in ovarian reserve (DOR).

METHODSTotally 78 patients with DOR were assigned to the traditional Chinese medicine combined WM group (abbreviated as IM group, 40 cases), and the WM group (38 cases) according to random digit table method. Patients in the WM group were treated with hormone replacement therapy, while those in the IM group additionally received SRMCRT. The therapeutic course for all was 3 consecutive months. The therapeutic efficacy was compared between the two groups. The serum levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), FSH/luteinizing hormone (LH), and estradiol (E2), as well as the development of sinus follicles were compared between before and after treatment in the two groups.

RESULTSThe therapeutic effective rate was 92.5% in the IM group, higher than that of the WM group (73.68%, P < 0.05). The serum levels of FSH, FSH/LH, and E2 decreased (P < 0.05) and the number of the sinus follicle increased (P < 0.05) in the two groups after treatment. Besides, IM was superior in decreasing serum levels of FSH and FSH/LH, and increasing the number of the sinus follicle (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSSRMCRT was an effective method for treating ROD. IM was superior in decreasing serum levels of FSH and FSH/LH, and increasing the number of the sinus follicle.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the feasibility of using percutaneous K-wires fixation after manipulative reduction combining with gypsum or splint fixation for treatment of the Barton fracture of aged people.

METHODSFrom June 2011 to May 2013, 91 patients with closed and fresh Barton fracture were analyzed retrospectively which information was complete. According to different methods these patients were divided into three groups: 33 patients in group A were treated by simplex fixation of gypsum or splint after manipulative reduction, including 20 males and 13 females with an average age of (63.27 ± 5.83) years old; 35 patients in group B were treated by percutaneous K-wires fixation after manipulative reduction combining with gypsum or splint fixation, including 23 males and 12 females with an average age of (64.25 ± 4.53) years old; 23 patients in group C were treated by open reduction and internal fixation including 15 males and 8 females with an average age of (64.04 ± 4.83) years old.

RESULTSAll the patients were followed up for 10 to 16 months with an average of 12 months by the method of recheckging in outpatient clinic. According Dienst scoring system: in group A, the result was excellent in 15 cases, good in 7 cases, fair in 11 cases; in group B, excellent in 25 cases, good in 6 cases, fair in 4 cases; in group C, excellent in 16 cases, good in 5 cases, fair in 2 cases. The excellent and good rate of group C was better than that of group B and A, further more group B is better than group A. According to X- ray standard, in group A, 26 patients were acceptable, 7 patients were unacceptable; in group B,28 patients were acceptable, 7 patients were uacceptable; in group C, 19 patients were acceptable,4 patients were unacceptable; there were no statistical significant difference (P > 0.05). There were 18 patients with emerging recrispation in group A, 10 patients in group B, 6 patients in group C, the result of group B and C was better than that of group A, and there was no statistically significant between group B and C (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONUsing percutaneous K-wires fixation after manipulative reduction combining with gypsum or splint fixation for treatment of the Barton fracture of aged people is an effective method, it has advantages of micro-invasived, reliable fixation, less complication, not need to fix wrist joint and early functional exercise.

As the preparation process from Salvia miltiorrhiz herbs to S. miltiorrhiz injection involves complicated technology and has relatively more factors impacting quality safety, the overall quality control is required for its effectiveness and safety. On the basis of the component structure theory, and according to the material basis of S. miltiorrhiz injection, we discussed the multi-dimensional structure and process dynamic quality control technology system of the preparation, in order to achieve the quality control over the material basis with safety and effectiveness of S. miltiorrhiz injection, and provide new ideas and methods for production quality standardization of S. miltiorrhis injection.

Objective To investigate the relationship between genetic polymorphisms in excision repair cross-complementing 1 (ERCC 1 ),xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD),xeroderma pigmentosum group C (XPC) and the risk of arsenism caused by coal-burning.Methods Two hundred and twenty-nine patients with arsenism in the endemic area of Jiaole village Xingren county Guizhou province were selected into experimental group.One hundred and ninety-eight inhabitants who had similar living habits but did no burning coal with high arsenic in Dagnoduo village were selected into control group.Two milliliters vein blood samples were taken and analyzed with polymerase chain reaction-restriction frgment length polymorphism technique (PCR-RFLP) to measure the gene polymorphisms of ERCC1 C8092A,XPD Lys751Gln,XPD Asp312Asn,XPD Arg156Arg,and XPC P(AT +/-).Relationship between genotype and the risk of arsenism was also analyzed.Results The frequency of ERCC1 8092CA/AA geno-type in case group [ CA:29.78％ (67/225),AA:10.67％ (24/225) ] was significantly higher than that of control group[CA:23.08％(45/195),AA:5.13％(10/195),x2 =8.116,P ＜ 0.05].The frequency difference of other gene polymorphisms between case and control group was not statistically significant,respectively (x2 =5.649,4.394,0.865,1.490,all P ＞ 0.05).There were 1.780(95％CI:1.174 - 2.698),1.681(95％CI:1.081 - 2.615),and 1.790(95％CI:1.014 - 3.158)-fold increase in risk of arsenism for individuals carrying ERCC1 8092CA + AA,XPD Lys751Gln + Gln751Gln,and XPD Asp312Asn + Asn312Asn genotypes compared respectively with individuals canying ERCC1 8092CC,XPD Lys751Lys,and XPD Asp312Asp(all P ＜ 0.05).The sufferers only with XPD Arg156Arg or XPC P(AT +/-) didn't have higher risk of arsenism(all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The results of this study suggest that the gene polymorphisms of ERCC1 C8092A,XPD Lys751Gln,and Asp312Asn are related to the arsenism caused by coal-burning.
