Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2016;23(5):708-711,712
Objective To observe and analyze the clinical effect of Modified Decoction for the treatment of lung -qi and spleen -qi deficiency syndrome in patients with stable stage of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods 86 patients with lung -qi and spleen -qi deficiency syndrome in stable stage of COPD were divided into the observation group (n =43) and control group (n =43) according to a random number table method. The control group was treated with conventional western medicine therapy,the observation group was given modified Bufei decoction treatment on the basis of western medicine treatment.The clinical therapeutic effect of two groups was assessed.Results The effective rate of the observation group was 83.72%,which was significantly higher than 72.09% of the control group,the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =3.9289,P <0.05).After treatment,the FEV1 ,FEV1 /FVC,FEV1% expected values of the two groups were significantly higher than those before treatment (t =3.6984,3.6915,3.7431,4.2675,4.6821,5.0567,all P <0.05).After treatment,the FEV1 ,FEV1 /FVC, FEV1% predicted value of the treatment group were (2.45 ±0.35)L/s,(63.91 ±7.42)%,(47.29 ±7.52),which were significantly higher than those of the control group (t =3.6884,3.7581,4.1957,all P <0.05).After treatment, the levels of IL -8 and TNF -αwere not significantly changed in the control group.The levels of IL -8 and TNF -αin the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (t =8.864,9.571,all P <0.05). Conclusion In COPD patients of stable stage with lung -qi and spleen -qi deficiency syndrome,plus or minus fill lung soup can effectively relieve clinical symptoms and improve pulmonary function of patients,reduce the acute attack,and improve the quality of life of patients,it is worthy of clinical application.

Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2006;12(7):637-638
ObjectiveTo study the characteristics of coping style and social support of college students and the relationship between them.Methods336 students from Xi'an International Studies University was surveyed with the coping style questionnaire and the social support sale.Results and ConclusionThe social support factors of college students and problem solving factor as well as asking for help are positively correlated, but it is negatively correlated with the withdrawing factor. A significant difference is shown in the imaginative coping style and the objective supporting score between male and female students, in the problem solving factor and the imaginative coping style among students of different grades, in self-criticism and the imaginative factor among students coming from different areas, finally, in the imaginative factor and withdrawing factor between single child and non-single child of a family.

Objective To explore the value of urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) in coronary heart disease(CHD) compli-cating thyroid dysfunction and its correlation with the various detection indicators of thyroid function.Methods The results of uri-nary ACR and thyroid function detection in 863 patients with CHD in our hospital from November 2015 to August 2016 were col-lected.According to the standards of American National Kidney Foundation (NKF) and Food and Drug Administration(FDA) ,863 CHD patients were divided into the group A (ACR≤10.0 mg/g · Cr) ,B(10.0 mg/g · Cr< ACR≤30.0 mg/g · Cr) ,C (30.0 mg/g · Cr

Objective To discuss the characteristics of ultrasonic images obtained by color Doppler per rectum after intrarectal pouring and the advantages of this method.Methods 40 cases who were diagnosed as rectal carcinoma prior to surgeries were investigated.The rectum was cleand and then was poured with normal saline before examination.Color Doppler ultrasonography per rectum was performed with intrarectal probe touching the inferior edge of the tumor.The 2-dimensional images and color Doppler images were then analyzed.Results The accurate typing of rectal tumors(detailedly,the ulcerative,intumescent,and confined types)can be obtained with this method.Within the 40 cases,24 were ulcerative,12 were intumescent and 4 were confined.Only one case with ulcerative tumor was misdiagnosed as intumescent.The total accuracy rate was 97.5%.As with rectal tumors less than 5cm,there was no significant difference between the measurement by ultrasonography and that by pathologic methods (P>0.05).While for tumors larger than 5cm,the measurement by ultrasonography was significantly different from that by pathologic methods (P<0.05).There was no significant correlation between the bloodstream signal of color Doppler and pathological grading(P>0.05).The method can be applied for patients who have a narrow rectal duct or are suffering from agonies which prevent the passage of the colonoscope.For cases failing to detect the margin and surface of the tumor with routine method,or ultrasonic probe failing to pass the confined area leading to illegible 2-dimensional images,This method is competent as well.Conclusion Color Doppler ultrasonography per rectum after intrareetal pouring can be applied for the diagnosis of rectal tumors of all types.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of NS398,a specific cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor,on microglial activation-mediated neuronal damage.Methods The microglia of neonatal SD rat were isolated and cultured in the medium containing 1 μg/ml of LPS.The morphological changes of microglial were observed.The IL-1β and TNF-α levels were detected by Western blot in LPS group (group L) and control group (group C).The hippocampal neurons of neonatal SD rats were cultured in the control medium (group C),LPS-activated microglial conditioned medium (group L) and LPS-activated microglial conditioned medium with NS398 (group N),respectively.The survival rate of neurons were detected by MTT.The respiration of hippocampus neurons was determined by detecting the ratio of lactic acid/pyruvic acid.Results LPS-induced microglial activation was characterized by the morphological change and increased secretion of IL-1β and TNF-α.The survival rate of neurons cultured by microglia activated conditioned medium was 64.37%,while the group N was 80.25% (P<0.01).In group L,the ratio of lactic acid/pyruvic acid (27.34±8.53) was significantly higher than that of group N (20.32±6.05,P<0.01) and group C (14.95±4.72,P<0.01).Conclusion NS398,a specific cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor,has a protective effect on rat hippocampus neuron damaged by activated microglia.

Journal of Practical Stomatology 2000;0(06):-
Objective: To clinically evaluate the efficacy of electrolyzed oxidizing water (EOW) as a root canal irrigation solution on disinfecting bacteria and removing the smear-layer to keep the non-bacterium state in the root canal. Methods: In the first experiment, 108 single-rooted teeth that needed root canal treatment were randomly divided into two groups. EOW was used as the root canal irrigation solution in the experimental group while 30 ml/L H2O2, saline solution, and 75 g/L EDTA solution were used as controls. Bacteriological examinations were conducted from each tooth before and after treatment with the root canal irrigation solutions. In the second experiment, the 20 fresh human extracted teeth were divided into two groups and treated as same as the first experiment in root canal preparation and irrigation. After irrigation, the apical canal wall was observed using SEM. Results: There was no significant difference in bacterial growth and removing the smear layer between the group using EOW and that using saline solution, 30 ml/L H2O2 and 75 g/L EDTA solution. Conclusion:The results indicate EOW is useful as a clinical root canal irrigation solution.
