Objective To study the clinical effect of qi supplementation combined with rehabilitation on the severity of fatigue after ischcmic stroke in patients with qi deficiency. Methods Ninety ischemic stroke patients with qi deficiency were randomly divided into 3 groups of 30. The treatment group was treated with an oral decoction of qi-supplementing Chinese medicine and also rehabilitation. The Western medicine control group was treated with a Chinese medicine placebo, Western medicine and rehabilitation. The blank control group was treated with the Chinese medicine placebo and rehabilitation. All groups were evaluated using a stroke-specific quality of life scale ( SSQOL) and a fatigue severity scale (FSS) before and 4 weeks after treatment. Results After treatment, the average SS-QOL and FSS scores had improved significantly compared with those before treatment, especially in the two treatment groups. There was a significant difference between the treatment group and the Western medicine control group,and between the treatment group and the blank control group on both scales. There was also a significant difference between the Western medicine control group and the blank control group in terms of SS-QOL scores, but not FSSscores. Conclusion All 3 treatments alleviated fatigue in ischemic stroke patients with a qi deficiency. Qi supplementation combined with rehabilitation was the most effective, followed by Western medicine combined with rehabilitation.

BACKGROUND:It is convenient to fabricate porcelain veeners using chairside computer aided design/computer aided manufacture (CAD/CAM) system. However, the color of the restorations is not ideal when the veener is cemented immediately, so different surface treatments are needed. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the influence of different surface treatments on the color of chairside porcelain veneers made of CEREC Blocs and the color match between the porcelain veneers and teeth. METHODS:Five fresh extracted maxillary central incisors were selected and prepared. Twenty-five 0.6 mm porcelain veneer specimens were fabricated with Sirona CEREC Blocs by chairside CAD/CAM system, and then randomized into five groups. Untreated specimens served as control group. The other four groups were treated respectively by polishing, glazing, glazing after polishing or staining. The color parameters of specimens and the teeth were measured with ShadeEye NCC on the middle 1/3 region of labial surfaces, and color differences (ΔE) between the specimens and teeth were calculated. Data were analyzed by SPSS 19.0 software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, the L* value of the glazing, glazing after polishing and staining groups were significantly decreased (P<0.05). The L* value of the staining group was the lowest. The a* and b* values had no significant differences between groups (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the ΔE values of glazing, glazing after polishing and staining groups were significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the ΔE value of the staining group was the lowest. The ΔL* values of glazing, glazing after polishing and staining groups were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05), and the ΔL* value of the staining group was the lowest. Compared with the control group, only the Δb* value of staining group was decreased significantly (P<0.05). The Δa* values did not differ significantly between groups (P>0.05). These results suggest that the chairside porcelain veneers made of CEREC Blocs can obtain satisfactory aesthetic appearance by glazing and staining.

Objective To study the application of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in the evaluation of the stability of carotid atherosclerotic plaque (CAP).Methods 162 patients with CAP were selected as study group.Meanwhile,34 patients with carotid artery strong echo plaques were selected as control group.The color doppler ultrasound was used to observe the CAP.Results The proportions of lipid type,fiber type,calcification and ulcer plaque in the study group were 21.60%,33.33%,34.57% and 10.37%,which were higher than those of the control group (5.88%,2.94%,2.94% and 2.94%),the differences were statistically significant (χ2=4.537,12.859,13.629 and 3.855,all P<0.05).There were 75 patients of soft plaques,36 patients with mixed plaques,51 patients with hard plaque in 162 patients.The new blood vessels classification in soft plaque group (36.00%,45.33% and 10.33%) were higher than the mixed plaque (30.56%,41.67% and 8.33%) and hard plaque group (31.37%,13.72% and 7.84%).The peak intensity (-86.41±7.81) %,tmax (8.34±1.62)s,mean transit time (24.18±8.67)s in the soft plaque group were significantly lower than the mixed plaque [(-100.73±6.52)%,(9.79±2.14)s and (28.93±9.11)s] and hard plaque patients [(-104.14±6.15)%,(10.23±2.33)s and (30.07±9.48)s],the differences were statistically significant (t=9.518,6.966,2.658,13.592,5.374 and 3.064,all P<0.05),but there were no statistically significant differences between mixed plaque and hard plaque (all P>0.05).The plaque diameter (4.13±0.75)mm diagnosed by CEUS was significantly larger than that of conventional ultrasound [(3.62±1.14)mm],the difference was statistically significant (t=4.757,P=0.000).Conclusion The CEUS can qualitatively detect the atherosclerotic plaque angiogenesis,can quantitatively assess plaque,evaluate the stability of the plaques,and the sensitivity is high.

To compare the luminescent characters in different bacteria of two different recombinant mycobaceriaphages by using biolimenescent methods in order to understand the differences between sensitivity and specificity of these phages, and to set up methods to use recombinant mycobacteriaphages in detecting drug suscepbility of mycobacteria. Result showed that both two phages have high light production in action with mycobacterium selectively and have almost no light production with E. coli , the difference is very obvious. Among different mycobacterium, BCG has the highest light production and mycobacterium tuberculosis has the lowest light production. The sensitivity of Phage 88 is higher than Phage 40, the difference is obviously. It can be considered that both recombinant mycobacteriaphages can detect mycobacterium specifically, but Phage 88 is more suitable for clinical usage.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of applying nanotechnology against M.tuberculosis growth.Methods Chitosan-antisense ODN nanoparticles were prepared by complex coacervation method.Varied amount of ODNs and chitosanODN nanoparticles were added to the cultures and the growth of the bacilli was monitored.Results The nanoparticles were composed of(35.6±0.9)% ODN and(64.4±0.9)% chitosan.Compared to the free ODN,antisense nanopartilces were more effective in inhibiting the proliferation of M.tuberculosis.Antisense nanoparticles decreased growth by(2.8±0.1)CFU/ml at concentration of 4/μmol/L.Conclusion Chitosan-ODN nanoparticles were more effective in inhibiting the growth of M.tuberculosis than free ODN.

Objective To evaluate laparoscopic partial splenectomy (LPS) for benign splenic tumors.Method Data of 55 patients undergoing laparoscopic partial splenectomy (20 cases) vs total splenectomy (LTS in 35 cases) at Peking University Third Hospital from August 2008 to July 2016 were collected and retrospectively analyzed.Results There was no difference in sex,BMI,preoperative H GB,preoperative PLT,operation time,operative blood loss and hospital stay between two groups.Age in LPS cases was younger than LTS group,while the tumor size was larger.On the 4th day postoperatively,PLT level was significnatly higher in LTP group.More patients in LTS group suffered from thrombocytosis.Conclusions Laprtoscopic partial splenectomy is a safe and effective procedure for the management of splenic benign tumors.

ObjectiveTo explore the value of expanded radical resection for gallbladder cancer located respectively at body and bottom of the gallbladder and at the neck.MethodsIn this study,91 cases of gallbladder cancer were macropathologically divided into two groups, one with the lesion at the body and bottom of the gallbladder and the other at the neck, survival analysis was made accordingly. Three different kinds of resection were performed: the expanded radical resection, the standard radical resection and palliative operation.ResultsThe overall median survival rate of patients undergoing expanded radical operation was significantly longer than that of the cases doing other two procedures, that was 27. 1 ± 2. 4,10. 7 ±2. 2,4. 7 ±2.2 (months) respectively for body and bottom cancer, and 8.5 ±2. 1,6. 7 ± 1.9,3.1 ± 1.1 (months) respectively for neck cancer. For cancer at the body and bottom RO was achieved by expanded radical resection in 16/18(88％ ) cases and by standard radical resection in 7/12(58％ ) cases, while for cancer at the neck it was in 6/16(38％ ) cases, and in 3/13 (23％)cases only.ConclusionsThe median survival time is longer and RO resection rate is higher in patients with the cancer at the body and bottom than these at the neck of the gallbladder.

Objective: To investigate the serotype and drug resistance of 815 Salmonella isolates from Hunan Province, so as to provide insights into management of Salmonella infections. Methods: Salmonella isolates were collected from stool samples of foodborne diarrheal patients and food samples in Hunan Province from 2020 to 2021, and serotyped. Antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed using the broth microdilution method. Results: A total of 10 groups and 39 serotypes were characterized in 815 Salmonella isolates. Among the 646 Salmonella isolates of human sources, 388 isolates were identified as serogroup B (60.06%), with S. typhimurium and its variants aspredominant serotypes (364 isolates, 56.35%), and among 169 foodborne isolates, 61 isolates were characterized as serogroup B (36.09%) with S. london as the predominant serotype (26 isolates, 15.38%). There were 597 antimicrobial resistant Salmonella isolates of human sources, with a drug resistance rate of 92.41%, and the percentage of ampicillin resistance was 81.58%. There were 140 foodborne antimicrobial resistant isolates, with a drug resistance rate of 82.84%, and the proportion of tetracycline resistance was 72.78%. However, Salmonella isolates from both humans and foods were sensitive to imipenem. In addition, there were 577 multidrug resistant Salmonella isolates, including 490 multidrug resistant isolates of human sources and 87 foodborne multidrug resistant isolates. Conclusions S. typhimurium and its variants and S. london were predominant serotypes of Salmonella isolates from 815 foodborne diarrheal patients and food samples in Hunan Province from 2020 to 2021, and a high rate of multidrug resistance was detected.
