Objective:To determine the differences of age, eruption sequence and gender of permanent teeth in children and adolescents in Xi'an, China. Methods:Cross-sectional data on permanent teeth eruption were collected from children aged 3~15 in pre-school, primary and secondary school. The subjects were drawn by multistage random sampling from the school registers. There were 6 712 subjects involved in present survey, including 3 604 boys and 3 108 girls. The data were subjected to probit regression analysis. Results:The median age of tooth eruption in girls was earlier than that in boys. Although the range of years during which the permanent teeth erupted was similar in both sexes, i.e. 6~12 years, the sequence of the tooth eruption was differed. All mandibular teeth, with the exception of first and second premolars in both males and females, tended to erupt earlier than their maxillary counterparts. Conclusion:The findings seem to be different from earlier studies done in the other parts of China.

Objective To investigate whether octreotide,as somatostatin analogue,can enhance the sensitivity of the human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 to chemotherapeutic drugs.Methods Different concentration of octretide,cisplatin and 5-Fluorouracil (5-Fu) was respectively acted on the lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549.The absorbance value was tested by colorimetry through MTT method to evaluate the effect of octreotide,cisplatin,5-Fu or the three drugs combined respectively after 48 hours.Each drug concentration had six holes and it repeated three times.The effects of combination therapy was analysed with isobologram.Results It was proved that octreotide could inhibit the proliferation of A549 cells in a dose-dependent manner at the concentration range of 1.3 mg/L ～ 166.7 mg/L.The inhibition rate was dose-dependent which was higher when octreotide combined with cisplatin and 5-Fu than it alone.It has statistically significant difference (P ＜ 0.05 ).The effect plots of IC50 were located in the synergy areas of isobologram.Conclusion It can be concluded that octreotide could inhibit the proliferation of A549 cells in vitro.This inhibition enhances when octreotide is combined with cisplatin and 5-Fu.Octreotide can enhance the susceptibility of A549 cells to cisplatin and 5-Fu.

Objective To study the use of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) in patients with cholecystocholedocholithiasis.Methods From July 2006 to June 2010,127 patients with cholecystocholedocholithiasis were treated either by LC+LCBDE (n=78) or LC+endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST,n=49).The treatment success rate,complications,retained bile duct stones rate,recovery of gastrointestinal function and hospital-stay were retrospectively analyzed.Results The LCBDE+ LC group:The operative success rate was 94.87 ％.The incidence of postoperative complications was 5.41 ％.The EST+ LC group:Complete removal of bile duct stones was achieved in 46 of 48 patients (95.92％).The incidence of postoperative complications was 12.77％.There was a significant difference in the incidences of postoperative complications between the EST+ LC group and the LCBDE+ LC group (P＜0.05).The operative time and the cost for hospital stay between the two groups were significantly different (P＜0.05).After a follow-up of 3.2 years (mean,range 1-5 years),there was no significant difference in long-term complications such as bile duct recurrent stones,duodenal papilla stenosis and cholangitis between the two groups (P＜0.05).ConclusionsLCBDE was a safe,efficacious and feasible minimal invasiveness treatment for cholecystocholedocholithiasis.Primary closure of common bile duct in selected cases brought additional benefits to the minimal invasive technique.

Objective To prospectively compare the clinical effect of 131I therapy for Graves disease (GD) using the 131I-iodide dose determined by radioactive iodine uptake formula and by individualized experience method respectively.Methods (1) A total of 527 GD patients referred for 131I therapy were enrolled and divided into two groups using interval sampling method.Group 1 consisted of 241 patients with their 131I activity calculated by iodine uptake formula.Group 2 consisted of 286 patients with their 131I activity calculated by individualized method based on clinical experience.(2) The patients who were not cured for the first time were retreated after 3 months in the same way until remission.(3) All patients were followed for more than 1 year after GD was cured.The clinical outcome was compared between the 2 groups.x2 test and two-sample t test were used for data analysis.Results There were no significant differences in age,gender,disease course,ATD pretreatment,the time of ATD discontinuation,level of thyroid hormone and autoantibody before 131I therapy,131I uptake rate,size of thyroid and duration of follow-up between the two groups (t=0.156-1.430,x2 =0.159,all P＞0.05).Group 1 had less 131I dose than group 2 ((247.9± 107.3) MBq vs (329.3±177.6) MBq,t=6.102,P＜0.05),fewer patients whose disease was controlled at early stage (x2 =25.279,P＜0.05) and lower remission rate for the first time of treatment (x2 =13.074,P＜ 0.05),but higher repeated treatment rate (t =2.735,P＜0.05) and ratio of hypothyroidism to normalized patients at the first treatment (x2=10.190,P＜0.05).The number of patients with permanent hypothyroidism between the two groups had no statistically significant difference (x2=1.138,P＞0.05).Conclusions The first treatment dose of 131I by individualized experience method is slightly higher than that by radioactive iodine uptake formula.Individualized treatment method for GD based on experience might help to control the GD earlier and improve the one-off remission rate without increasing the rate of hypothyroidism.

Objective To observe the effects of ginsenoside Rg1 group on the structure and function of rat skeletal muscle with exercise-induced fatigue.Methods SD rats were randomized into blank control group,model group and ginsenoside Rg1 group.The rats in the model group and ginsenoside Rg1 group received medium-intensity treadmill running to induce exercise-induced fatigue.Ginsenoside Rg1 group was given ginsenoside Rg1 50 mg?kg-1?d-1 for 2 continuous weeks during the modeling.After treatment,malondialdehyde(MDA)content,superoxide dismustase(SOD) activity,mitochondrial membrane potential and free calcium content in the rat skeletal muscle were measured.Meanwhile,ultrastructure of the skeletal muscle was observed under the electron microscope.Results In the model group,SOD activity,mitochondrial membrane potential,and free calcium content were decreased,MDA content was increased,and the difference was significant as compared with the blank control group(P

Objective To show the international protocols for blood pressure monitoring based on a real example. Methods The assessment process of international protocol that can be released by Working Group on Blood Pressure Monitoring of European Society of Hypertension was evaluated. Results 33 participants were selected, which all indexes in evaluation stage one and stage two of the indicators were detected through. The 95% consistency interval in difference between tested device and reference monitor was 10.65～-12.67 mmHg for systolic BP and 13.68～-14.03 mmHg for diastolic BP, and there were 7.1% (7/99) and 6.1% (6/99) of valid points out of the 95% consistency interval. Conclusion The measured automatic blood pressure in the normal environment, measuring accuracy and the standard with the control of mercury -type sphygmomanometer is coincident, so it can be recommended for home application.

Objective To compare blood pressures results measured by automated sphygmomanometer and standard mercury sphygmomanometer,and to investigate the application of measurements consistency evaluation method in accurate measurement of automated sphygmomanometer.Methods Intraclass correlation coefficient was used to estimate the reliability of repeated measurements,and Bland -Altman method was adopted to evaluate the consistency between automated sphygmomanometer and standard mercury sphygmomanometer.Meanwhile,the results were compared with protocol of European Society of Hypertension.Results The tested automated sphygmomanometer did not adapt to the criteria of European Society of Hypertension.The intraclass correlation coefficient of mercury sphygmomanometer was 0.937 for systolic blood pressure,0.849 for diastolic blood pressure.The intraclass correlation coefficient of tested sphygmomanometer was 0.944 for systolic blood pressure,0.929 for diastolic blood pressure.The 95% consistency interval was(-10.20 to 16.94)mmHg for systolic blood pressure and(-6.25 to 11.69)mmHg for diastolic blood pressure.Conclusion Normally,Bland-Altman method has the same judgment result with protocol of European Society of Hypertension.

Objective To analyze the blood screening results after adjustment of critical value 40 to 50 U/L and to observe the effect of reducing blood scrap rate and to discuss the correlation between ALT and HBV,HCV infection.Methods We screened 2656 blood donors (ALT >40 U/L)by serological and nucleic acid amplification testing(NAT)in Qingdao blood center from 2013 to 2014,and conducted the correlation analysis by chi square test.Results 1 771 cases (66.68%)were ALT 40-50 U/L,including 6 cases of HBsAg ELISA (+),2 cases NAT (+),4 cases NAT(-).In the 8 cases of anti-HCV ELISA (+)samples,4 cases NAT (+),3 cases NAT (-),1 case with positive TP without NAT result.In 885 blood donors with ALT>50 U/L,5 cases were HBsAg-reactive,7 cases were anti-HCV-reactive,and 873 cases were negative.Related statistics showed that there was no signifi-cant difference between ALT and HBV infection (P <0.05),but significant difference was found between ALT and HCV infection (P >0.05).Conclusion The proportion of blood donors with ALT 40-50 U/L is much higher than that with ALT >50 U/L do-nors.Adjustment of the critical value greatly reduces blood scrap rate.Elevated ALT is associated with the infection of HBV but not with HCV.

OBJECTIVETo compare the clinical efficacy on cervical spondylotic radiculopathy between the combined therapy of massage and magnetic-sticking at the auricular points and the simple massage therapy, and conduct the health economics evaluation.

METHODSSeventy-two patients of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy were randomized into a combined therapy group, and a simple massage group, 36 cases in each one. Finally, 35 cases and 34 cases were met the inclusive criteria in the corresponding groups separately. In the combined therapy group, the massage therapy and the magnetic sticking therapy at auricular points were combined in the treatment. Massage therapy was mainly applied to Fengchi (GB 20), Jianjing (GB 21), Jianwaishu (SI 14), Jianyu (LI 15) and Quchi (LI 11). The main auricular points for magnetic sticking pressure were Jingzhui (AH13), Gan (On12) Shen (CO10), Shenmen (TF4), Pizhixia (AT4). In the simple massage group, the simple massage therapy was given, the massage parts and methods were the same as those in the combined therapy group. The treatment was given once every two days, three times a week, for 4 weeks totally. The cervical spondylosis effect scale and the simplified McGill pain questionnaire were adopted to observe the improvements in the clinical symptoms, clinical examination, daily life movement, superficial muscular pain in the neck and the health economics cost in the patients of the two groups. The effect was evaluated in the two groups.

RESULTSThe effective rate and the clinical curative rate in the combined therapy group were better than those in the control group [100. 0% (35/35) vs 85. 3% (29/34), 42. 9% (15/35) vs 17. 6% (6/34), both P<0. 05]. The scores of the spontaneous symptoms, clinical examnation, daily life movement and superficialmuscular pain in the neck were improved apparently after treatment as compared with those before treatment in the patients of the two groups (all P<0. 001). In terms of the improvements in the spontaneous symptoms, clinical examination total scores and superficial muscular pain in the' neck were more significant in the combined therapy group as compared with those in the simple massage group (P<0. 05, P<0. 01, P<0. 001). The cost at the unit effect in the combined therapy group was lower than that in the simple massage group (P<0. 05).

CONCLUSIONCompared with the simple massage therapy, the massage therapy combined with magnetic sticking therapy at auricular points achieves the better effect and lower cost in health economics.
