Objective To investigate the short-term effect of pelvic floor muscle training (PFM) with biofeedback on stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in postpartum and post-menopausal women.Methods According to the different period that the SUI occurs,107 women with SUI were divided into two groups:the group of SUI in postpartum with 60 women,and the group of SUI in post-menopausal with 47 women.PFM with biofeedback was performed on all patients for 8 weeks.One hour pad-weighing test,voiding diary,transperineal three-dimensional ultrasound and female pelvic floor muscle assessment were recorded before and after treatment.Results There was statistically significant difference in 1 hour padweighing test between pre-treatment and post-treatment for the group of SUI in postpartum (the negative,mild,moderate,and severe cases of post-treatment:21,24,14,1,of pre-treatment:0,30,28,2; P＜0.05),and the group of SUI in post-menopausal (the negative,mild,moderate,and severe cases of post-treatment:7,22,11,7,of pre-treatment:0,14,25,8; P＜0.05).The strength of the pelvic floor muscles of type Ⅰ and type Ⅱin two groups after treatment were significantly different from those in pre-treatment (P＜0.01).The efficient rate of improvement in symptoms after treatment in the group of SUI in postpartum was 88％ (53/60) and the cure rate was 38％ (23/60).While the efficient rate in the group of SUI in post-menopausal women was 64％(30/47) and the cure rate was 15％ (7/47).There was statistically significant difference in the development of symptoms in two groups after treatment (P=0.003).Conclusion PFM with biofeedback is an effective treatment for SUI in postpartum and post-menopausal women,especially for postpartum ones.

Objective:To observe the clinical effect of regulating Conception Vessel and unblocking Governor Vessel by acupuncture combined with tuina for cerebral infarction. Methods:A total of 61 eligible cases with cerebral infarction were treated with regulating Conception Vessel and unblocking Governor Vessel by acupuncture combined with tuina, once a day, 12 d for a course. There was a 3-day interval between two courses. These cases were treated for 3 courses. Before treatment, the infarction severity was graded using neurological deficit score. The score changes and correlation between infarction severity and therapeutic efficacy were evaluated after 1, 2 and 3 courses of treatment. Results:Before treatment, the neurological deficit score was (18.65±3.28), versus (13.63±3.91), (9.53±3.22) and (5.57±3.97) respectively after 1, 2 and 3 courses of treatment. When the third course was completed, 4 cases obtained almost full recovery, 33 cases obtained marked effect, 18 cases obtained improvement and 6 cases had no effect. The total effective rate was 90.2%. Conclusion:Regulating Conception Vessel and unblocking Governor Vessel by acupuncture combined with tuina can substantially improve limb function in patients with hemiplegia due to cerebral infarction.

Objective To establish a new method for the determination of quercetin and kaempferol in wine by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with chemiluminescence. Methods The procedure was based on the chemiluminescent enhancement by quercetin and kaempferol of the K3Fe(CN)6 system in an alkaline medium. The HPLC with post-column chemiluminescence was established for the determination of quercetin and kaempferol in wine. Results The standard curves were linear in the concentration ranges of 2.0?10-6-1.6?10-2 g/ml(r=0.999 0)for quercetin and 3.2?10-6-2.0?10-4 g/ml(r=0.999 8)for kaempfero respectively.The limits of detection were 1.4 ?10 -9 g/ml for quercetin and 3.4 ?10 -7 g/ml (S/N =3)for kaempfero respectively. The rates of recovery were 99.31% for quercetin and 99.06% for kaempferol. Conclusion The method is simple,rapid,accurate and applicable to the determination of quercetin and kaempferol in wine.

Objective To explore the correlation of pregnant metaphase serum CRP and premature rupture of membranes and preterm birth.Methods Totally 300 cases maternals in pregnant metaphase were sampled to collected their fasting venous blood in the middle of elbow to detected the levels of serum CRP by immunoturbidimetry,and allof the maternals were received follow-up until end of the delivery.Of the 300 cases,there were 16 cases with premature rupture of membranes,28 cases with preterm birth,and 256 cases with full -term birth.The levels of serum CRP in pregnant metaphase of the three groups were compared,and the value of threshold to predict premature rupture of membranes and preterm birth was analyzed.Results The levels of serum CRP in pregnant metaphase of the groups of premature rupture of membranes and preterm birth were hoth higher than the group of full-term birth(P ＜ 0.05),but there were not significant difference between the two groups(P ＞ 0.05),and the threshold of the serum CRP were 13.9,10.8mg/L respectively.The sensitivity of serum CRP in pregnant metaphase to predict premature rupture of membranes was 68.75％,and the specificity was 98.94％.The sensitivity of serum CRP in pregnant metaphaseto predict preterm birth was 75.00％,and the specificity was 98.90％.Conclusion The level of pregnant metaphase serum CRP beyond a certain range may increase the possibility of premature rupture of membranes and preterm birth,which is valuable to predict premature rupture of membranes and preterm birth.

Luminal surface of vascular endothelium is decorated with a variety of polysaccharide-protein complexes,which constitute the glycocalyx.It has been demonstrated that vascular endothelial glycocalyx plays an important role in modulation of selective permeability of vessels,mediation of the blood cell-endothelial cell interactions and the release of nitric oxide induced by fluid shear stress under physiological condition.In inflammation condition,sheding of glycocalyx due to inflammation mediator leads to its functional weakening in vessel protection.At the same time,heparan sulfate as a major constituent of vascular endothelial glycocalyx could be involved in regulating the evolution of inflammation.Heparan sulfate interacts with L-selectin to mediating leukocyte rolling,presents chemokines on luminal surfaces of endothelial cells to mediate leukocyte crawling and firm adhesion,participates in transcytosis of chemokines from tissue to luminal side of endothelial cells during inflammation.Various risk factors of atherosclerosis,as an inflammatory disease,are closely associated with vascular endothelial glycocalyx.This paper is aimed to review the role of vascular endothelial glycocalyx in inflammation and atherosclerosis.

Objective To screen and identify the novel genes from the adult worm cDNA library of Schistosoma japonicum by the expressed sequence tags (EST) strategy.Methods The cDNA clones were selected randomly and the ESTs were obtained.The novel gene was searched for homologue identity with NCBI blast programmer.The homologue of the two sequences with a high identity was compared at amino acid and nucleotide level with the BLAST programmer,and the analysis of protein was carried out with the pcgene software. Results There was a novel gene of Schistosoma japonicum which included 1 677 bp coding for 424 amino acid residues, and it was given the accession number of sequence in Genbank(AY336497).The cDNA sequence was homologous to the known ornithine aminotransferase gene of Xenopus laevis. The identity of amino acid sequence was 66%. The academic pI was 8.52, and the antigen determinant was probably from 795 to 846 on the cDNA sequence. Conclusion EST strategy is an effective measure to discover new genes of Schistosoma japonicum. The novel gene is homologous to the ornithine aminotransferase gene of Xenopus laevis.This study is helpful to further sequential and functional search of the gene.[

OBJECTIVEThe effect of sandblasting on the bond strength between 3mol% yttrium-stabilized tetragonal zirconium polycrystal (3Y-TZP) zirconia framework and veneering porcelain was evaluated.

METHODSA total of 21 specimens [(25 ± 1) mm x (3 ± 0.1) mmx (0.5 ± 0.05) mm] were prepared according to ISO 9693. The specimens were then randomly divided into 3 groups. Sandblasting was performed on 2 meshes of Al₂O₃ particles: group A with mesh 110 and group B with mesh 80. Group C, which was not sandblasted, was the control group. The surface roughness of the zirconia framework, as well as the bond strength between 3Y-TZP zirconia framework and veneering porcelain, was measured. The interface microstructure was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), and elemental distribution was detected by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).

RESULTSSurface roughness values were (1.272 ± 0.149) μm for group A, (0.622 ± 0.113) μm for group B, and (0.221 ± 0.065) μm for group C. Statistical significance were found among groups (P < 0.05). The bond strength values were (28.21 ± 1.52) MPa for group A, (27.71 ± 1.27) MPa for group B, and (24.87 ± 3.84) MPa for group C. Statistical significance was found between group A and group C (P < 0.05), whereas the other groups had no statistical significance (P > 0.05). Interface adhesion failure was the primary performance. SEM images showed the close interface bonding, and EDS showed that the interface had no obvious element penetration.

CONCLUSIONAl₂O₃ sandblasting can slightly enhance the bond strength between zirconia framework and veneering porcelain.

Objective To explore the effects of 7.5% hypertonic saline (HS) and pentoxifylline (PTX) on the pulmonary inflammation in rats with hemorrhagic shock. Method Controlled hemorrhagic shock in rats was induced to 40 mmHg MAP by blood withdrawal and maintained for 60 min. Animals were randomly (random number) divided into 3 groups. In sham shock group ( n = 8), rats underwent cannulation without exsanquination or resuscitation and served as negative controls. In RL-resuscitated animals group ( n = 8), rats received 32 mL/kg RL (Ringers'lactate solution). In HSPTX group, rats received 4 mL/kg of 7.5% NaCl + 25 mg/kg of PTX.PaO2,pH,PaCO2, lung wet/dry weight ratio (W/D) and lung penetrating index were determined, and the percentages of neutrophil in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were detected. The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase(SOD)were measured. The tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin 1β(IL-1β) in BALF supernatant were determined by using ELISA method. Results Compared with RL group, PaO2 and pH of arterial blood more increased and PaCO2 of arterial blood more decreased in HSPTX group ( P ＜ 0. 01).The wet/dry lung weight ratio and the percertages of neutrophil in BALF were reduced in HSPTX group. The level of tumor necrosis factor-αand interleukin 1β in HSPTX group were both more significantly decreased than those in RL group ( P ＜0.01). Conclusions Compared with RL group, the more attenuation of pulmonary inflammation in HSPTX group after shock is associated with less neutrophil activation and decrease in production of the irlammatory cytokines.
