Objective: To compare the efficacy of two commercially available dentifrices (colgate total toothpaste containing triclosan and copolymer was used as the experimental and a toothpaste containing triclosan without copolymer the control) in the control of dental plaque and gingivitis. Methods: A double blind clinical study was conducted in 200 adult male and female subjects from Chengdu, China were entered into the study and stratified into two treatment groups which were balanced for age, sex, baseline of Quigley Hein plaque index scores(PI) and baseline of Loe Silness gingival index scores(GI). Subjects received an oral prophylaxis and were instructed to brush their teeth for one minute twice daily with their assigned dentifrice. Three and six months after application of the dentifrices plaque and gingivitis examinations were conducted. Results: At the end of the study, 183 subjects complied with the protocol and completed the entire six month study. Before use of the dentifrices GI in experimental and control groups was 1.63?0.36 and 1.68?0.34, it was 0.45?0.30 and 0.52?0.33 in 3 months, and 0.43?0.32 and 0.58?0.38 in 6 months( P

Objective To investigate the effects of stimulation of CD40 on the growth,prolifera- lion and apoptosis of gastric cancer cell lines,and the change of gene expression profiles of gastric cancer cell AGS.Methods The growth and proliferation of AGS cells treated with different concentrations of soluble CD40 ligand were measured by MTT in order to choose optimum stimulating concentration of so- luble CD40 ligand.Cell cycle and apoptosis of AGS cells were analyzed by flow cytometry.Gene expres- sion profiles of AGS cells were analyzed by Affymetrix U133A 2.0 after treated with soluble CD40 ligand for 48 h.Results Two?g/ml of.soluble CD40 ligand was the optimum concentration.After being cul- tured with soluble CD40 ligand for 48h,the growth of AGS cell was inhibited and blockade in G1 phase. There were 414 alterative genes found in AGS cells including 209 up-regulated genes and 205 down-regu- lated genes.Forty-five genes varied significantly(P

Objective:
To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of hand, foot and mouth disease ( HFMD ) in Zhejiang Province, so as to provide insights into HFMD control.
Methods:
The incidence of HFMD in Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2019 was collected from National Notifiable Disease Reporting System. The temporal distribution, human distribution, regional distribution and pathogenic typing of HFMD were descriptively analyzed in Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2019.
Results:
Totally 642 305 cases with HFMD were reported in Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2019, including 121 severe cases and 9 fatal cases. The annual incidence of HFMD was 335.88/105, 147.76/105, 435.63/105 and 221.77/105, respectively. The incidence of HFMD peaked from May to July each year, and the three highest annual incidence included Ningbo, Jinhua and Wenzhou cities, while the lowest annual incidence was seen in Zhoushan City. The HFMD cases were predominantly found in children at ages of 1 to 5 years ( 537 738 cases, 83.72% ), and in children living at home ( 419 408 cases, 65.30% ). The average annual incidence of HFMD was higher in males than in females ( 328.23/105 vs. 239.99/105; P<0.05). The dominant pathogens gradually shifted from enterovirus 71 ( EV71 ) to Coxsachievirus A16 ( CA16 ), and other enteroviruses remained as the main pathogenic subtypes.
Conclusions
The incidence HFMD was high in summer and autumn in Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2019. Children living at home are at a high risk of HFMD, and CA16 type gradually became the dominant pathogen of HFMD.

To study the effects of alkaloids from Coptidis Rhizoma on low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) mRNA expression and antihyperlipedemic levels. The LDLR mRNA expression were detected by real time fluorescence quantitative PCR, and the levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL-c) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) in serum were measured at the first and last examination. The results show that, after the drug treatment, compared with the model group, each drug group showed a lipid-lowering effect. Especially, coptisine, palmatine, jatrorrhinze were significantly reduced TC, TG, LDL-c (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), and increased HDL-c (P < 0.01). In addition, they also increased mRNA expression of the LDLR in liver and HepG2 cells. The results showed that alkaloids from Coptidis Rhizoma can regulate lipid metabolism disorder, and coptisine have the best lipid-lowering effect.

Objective To investigate the effect of high frequency (10 Hz),low frequency (1 Hz) and theta burst stimulation (TBS) mode of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the recovery of motor function in hemiplegic patients following acute ischemic stroke.Methods Seventy-two patients with hemiplegia after acute ischemic stroke were randomly grouped with the random number table.They were treated with low frequency (n=18),high frequency (n=18),and TBS (n=18) rTMS or sham stimulation (control group,n=18),once a day,for 2 weeks.Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) were used to evaluate neurological function in all patients before rTMS treatment (on the day before the first treatment) and after treatment (on the day after the last treatment).Results After treatment,the FMA and NIHSS scores in the 4 groups were significantly improved compared with before treatment (all P<0.05).After rTMS treatment,the FMA and NIHSS scores were improved significantly in the high frequency group,low frequency group and TBS group compare with the control group (all P<0.05).There were no significant differences among all the treatment groups.Conclusion sHigh frequency,low frequency and TBS rTMS can improve the recovery of motor function in hemiplegic patients following acute ischemic stroke.There were no significant differences among all the treatment modes.

objective To explore the indication of mechanical ventilation and evaluate the effects of mechanical ventilation with the least delay on the Severe cases of hand-foot-mouth disease(HFMD).Methods Retrospective cohort study was conducted among the severe HFMD cases(n=66)admitted to pediatric intensive care unit(PICU)between July 2008 and september 2009.Sixty-six cases were divided into two groups:42 cases(group A,July 5 to October 31,2008)were ventilated with the common mechanical ventilation,24 cases(group B,April 21 to september 30,2009)were ventilated at least delay when the symptoms of neurogenic pulmonary edema appeared.Then the diffcrences on the survival rate and the mortality in the group A and group B were investigated.Results Twenty out of 42 patients died(47.6%),eighteen were cured(42.6%) and four showed improved signs(9.5%)in group A.Twenty-two out of 24 patients were cured(91.7%),two showed improved signs(8.3%)and no death in group B.The clinical effect of group B was much better tllan group A(P<0.001).Conclusion Early mechanical ventilation would improve the survival rate and decrease the mortality of severe hand-foot-mouth disease.
