Chinese Journal of Information on Traditional Chinese Medicine 2017;24(8):27-31
Objective To discuss the correlation between the dysmenorrhea and TCM constitutions among the junior high school girls of Shanghai suburb; To analyze the influencing factors; To provide references for the prevention of dysmenorrhea. Methods By using cluster sampling during December 2015 to January 2016, the questionnaire surveys which included the general situation, the classification and determination of TCM constitution self-test and COX Menstrual Symptom Scale were used for the junior high school girls from the suburb area of Shanghai to analyze the relationship between dysmenorrhea and TCM constitutions and the influencing factors. Results The incidence rate of dysmenorrhea was 29.52% (93/315) in junior high school girls from the suburb area of Shanghai. There was statistical significance in body height and menarche age among girls with and without dysmenorrhea (P<0.05). The rank correlation coefficient of dysmenorrhea and gentleness type was -0.130 (P=0.021). The rank correlation coefficients of dysmenorrhea and pathological constitution (except for special diathesis type) were all greater than 0 (P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that there was statistical significance in the incidence of different coagula in menses, different inheritance of dysmenorrhea, different sleep quality, different learning pressure, different emotional state and different physical exercises (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that influence factors of dysmenorrhea were inheritance of dysmenorrhea, learning pressure and yin-deficiency constitution. Conclusion The pathological constitution is the susceptible constitution of dysmenorrhea of junior high school girls. Yin-deficiency constitution, inheritance of dysmenorrhea and learning pressure can increase the incidence of dysmenorrhea. It is suggested that the corresponding preventive measures should be taken to achieve the purpose of prevention dysmenorrhea by regulating and improving yin-deficiency constitution.

[Objective] To investigate the occurrence rate, manifestations and influencing factors of emotional disorder in patients after acute stroke. [Methods] Emotional disorder in 107 cases of acute stroke was assessed by 17-item Hamilton Depression Scales (HAMD), 14-item Hamilton Anxiety Scales (KAMA), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Barthel index (BI), and the relationship between emotional disorder and influencing factors were also analyzed. [Results] The occurrence rate of emotional disorder after acute stroke was 41.12% , in which depression was 18.69% , anxiety 9.35% and concurrence of depression and anxiety 13.08% . Emotional disorder usually occurred in the dominant hemisphere of young patients with lower BI after repeated attacks of stroke; its manifestations relieved with the cure of primary diseases. Its dominant syndrome pattern was classified as stagnation of liver-Qi. [ Conclusion ] Emotional disorder, possibly being a stress reaction, is the common complications of acute stroke and usually classified as stagnation of liver-Qi; early effective rehabilitation is the best preventive method for emotional disorder acute stroke.

Objective To analyze the clinical features of,concurrence of allergic diseases in,as well as serum levels of total immunoglobulin E (IgE) and specific IgEs in,232 patients with alopecia areata (AA),and to estimate their relationship.Methods Serum samples were obtained from 232 patients with AA and 110 healthy controls from a health check-up center.Turbidimetric immunoassay and fluorescence-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were performed to measure total IgE and specific IgEs to common antigens in these serum samples,respectively.Statistical analysis was carried out by t test,rank sum test,and chi-square test.Results The patients showed a male/female ratio of 127 ∶ 105 with an average age of (26.4 ± 13.8) years and clinical course of (25.3 ± 42.3) months.Among these patients,89 (38.4%) suffered from severe AA,and 67 (28.9%) reported at least one allergic disease.No significant difference was found in the positive rates of serum total IgE (30.2% vs.21.8%,P > 0.05),anti-Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and-Cockroach specific IgEs or the serum levels of antiDermatophagoides pteronyssinus or-Cockroach IgE between the patients and healthy controls.The three most common specific IgEs were anti-Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus IgE (34.1%),anti-Dermatophagoides farinae IgE (31.9%) and anti-Cockroach IgE (22.5%) in patients with AA,whose serum levels were positively correlated with the level of serum total IgE separately.A significant increase was observed in the positive rates and serum levels of anti-Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and-Cockroach specific IgEs in patients with severe and diffuse AA compared with the healthy controls and patients with mild AA,as well as in those of anti-Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus specific IgE in child patients with AA compared with the healthy controls and adult patients with AA (P < 0.05 or 0.01).Conclusions Dust mite allergy may be not only a pathogenic factor for severe,diffuse and childhood AA,but also a risk factor for early onset and severe type of AA.

Objective To study the role of Ⅲb isoform of human fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1-Ⅲb) in PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cells. Methods The plasmid of human full-length FGFR1-Ⅲb isoform,pSVK4/FGFR1-Ⅲb, was stable transfected into cultured PNAC-1 pancreatic cancer cell lines facilitated by lipofectamine. The function of FGFR1-Ⅲb in transfected pancreatic cancer cells were examined by MTT assay, soft agar assay, cell migration assay, single cell movement assay, In vivo tumorigenicity assay. Results The basal anchorage-dependent and -independent cell growth was significantly inhibited. Additionally, FGFR1-Ⅲb expression inhibited single cell movement and in vitro invasion as determined by time-lapse microscopy and boyden chamber assay as well as in vivo tumor formation and growth in nude mice. Microscopic analysis of the xenograft tumors revealed a reduced Ki-67 labelling, lower amount of tumor necrosis and higher grade of differentiation in FGFR1-Ⅲb expressing tumors. Conclusion We identified a functional human FGFR mRNA splice variant that inhibits the transforming potential of pancreatic cancer cells.

OBJECTIVE To explore the NG rapid and accurate detection method,epidemiological characteristics and the control of nosocomical infection.METHODS From 1989 to 2008,46 898 patients were under taken the NG smear test,culture and NG immune latex test.RESULTS In the 46 898 cases,764 cases were found out G-diplococci both inside and outside cells or cell.The positive rate was 1.63%.In 764 positive samples,721 cases were not found out other bacteria(94.37%),NG positive smears had their own features.CONCLUSIONS When no bacteria growth and a large number of swollen neutrophils,particular attention should be paid.NG smears particularly for small media-size community and rural hospitals,without NG culture,PCR and NG antigen/antibody test can be choosed first.

AIM: To determine whether the eukaryotic initiation factor-4E (eIF-4E) inhibition facilitates the degradation of heparanase mRNA and alters heparanase protein expression in human colon adenocarcinoma cell line, LS-174T. METHODS: A 20-mer antisense s-oligodeoxynucleotide (asODN) targeted against the translation start site of eIF-4E mRNA were introduced into LS-174T cells by lipid-mediated DNA-transfection. eIF-4E protein and mRNA levels were detected by Western blot and RT-PCR, respectively. The mRNA levels of heparanase were determined by Northern blot. The alterations of heparanase expression were confirmed by Western blot analysis. RESULTS: The 20-mer asODN against eIF-4E specifically and significantly inhibited eIF-4E protein expression. Following eIF-4E inhibition, a significant reduction of heparanase mRNA was observed on Northern blot, and at the same time, heparanase protein expression significantly decreased as well. CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that the inhibition of eIF-4E strongly reduces the stability of heparanase mRNA in colon adenocarcinoma cell line, LS-174T and resultes in an apparent reduction in the expression of heparanase protein.
