Objective:To observe the efficacy of A clotrimazole combined with ultrasonic atomization of ozone in the treatment of candidal vaginitis. Methods:Totally 200 cases of candidal vaginitis were divided into the observation group and the control group with 100 cases in each. The control group was given A clotrimazole creams through vaginal administration, qd, while the observation group was treated by ultrasonic atomization of ozone additionally, qd, 15min per time with five times. The clinical efficacy and the recurrence rate after 6 months of the two groups were compared. Before the treatment and in the first and fourth week after the treatment, vaginal secretion bacterial culture was performed and pH value was detected. Results:The cure rate and the total effective rate of the observa-tion group was 88% and 98%, respectively, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (69% and 82%, respective-ly, P<0. 05). After the 6-month follow-up, the recurrence rate was 1. 0% in the observation group (1/98), which was significantly lower than that in the control group [7. 3%(6/82),P<0. 05]. After the treatment, the vaginal pH value in the observation group was reduced notably and the number of lactobacillus was increased significantly(P<0. 05), while those in the control group were without significant changes (P>0. 05). Conclusion:A clotrimazole combined with ultrasonic atomization of ozone in the treatment of candidal vaginitis can improve the therapeutic effect.

Objective To find out the quality of brain function electromagnetic adjuvant therapy for neurosis treatment.Methods 100 patients were randomly divided into two groups,study group(50 cases)was treated for brain function by electromagnetic therapy with the drug treatment,and only drug treatment was used for the control group(50 cases).The psychological symptom checklist(SCL-90)and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale(PSQI)were used to assess clinical symptoms and sleep quality of the two groups before and after therapy of 30 days,and the scale results were compared.Results After treatment,somatization,interpersonal sensitivity,anxiety,depression,hostility,phobia,obsessive-compulsive disorder,paranoid and psychotic items score of SCL-90 scale of study group was significantly lower than the scale before treatment(all P ＜0.05);after treatment somatization and anxiety item scores of SCL-90 scale of study group were significantly lower than the control group(all P ＜0.05).After treatment PSQI total scale score,sleep latency,sleep continuity,sleep efficiency,the use of sleep medications and sleep disorders of study group were significantly lower than before treatment(all P ＜ 0.01);after treatment PSQI total scale score and all items scores of study group were significantly lower than the control group(all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Adjuvant treatment of brain electromagnetic had significant effects of improving sleep quality,relieving anxiety and somatization for neurological patients.

Coenzyme Q (CoQ),also known as ubiquinone,is a lipid-soluble quinone compound which exists in biological organis ms widely.The numbers of side chain isoprene of different sources of coenzyme Q are different.Coenzyme Q in humans and mammals are called coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10 ,Q10 ), in that the ubiquinone side chain of humans and mammals are mainly composed of 10 isoprene units.In the mitochondrial respiratory chain,it acts as a mobile electron transporter and is a cofactor of uncoup-ling proteins,which is an essential endogenous substance in the process of cell respiration and metabo-lis m.Moreover,CoQ possesses independent antiapoptosis feature,which regulates the mitochondrial permeability transition pore.Mitochondrion is an important organelle,which is the place for energy stor-age and supply,providing the energy for vital movement.There are various kinds of chemical toxicants in the hu man environ ment,and they can enter into the hu man body through drinking,feeding or breath-ing and then affect cell mitochondria to different degrees.Thus,it is important for preventive medicine to investigate intervention or reduction of the biological da mage of exogenous chemicals′effects on mito-chondria.In this paper,we reviewed the research progress of the role of coenzyme Q in xenobiotics in-duced mitochondrial da mage.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that emodin protects against intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury by inhibiting the release of inflammatory factors. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of emodin on renal ischemia/reperfusion injury after bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation. METHODS:Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into five groups (n=8 per group):sham group, model group (renal ischemia/reperfusion injury group), bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel group (cel transplantation group), low-dose emodin group, high-dose emodin group. Rats in the latter four groups were pretreated with or without different concentrations (30 and 60 mg/kg) of emodin for 7 days, and then were subjected to clamping bilateral renal pedicles for 45 minutes, fol owed by injection of 1 mL bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel suspension. Six hours after reperfusion, the pathological changes of renal tissues were examined by hematoxylin-eosin staining;the mRNA levels of tumor necrosis factorα, interleukin-6, interleukin-18, TLR2 and TLR4 detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR;and the protein expression of COX-2, ICAM-1 and iNOS determined by western blot. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the sham group, rats in the model group showed obvious features of severe acute tubular damage and inflammatory cel infiltration. In the cel transplantation group, tubular epitheliael cel s were partial y lost with some inflammatory cel s infiltrated in the renal interstitium. In the emodin groups, the tubular lumen was practical y intact with little renal interstitial inflammatory cel s. Compared with the sham group, a significant increase in the mRNA levels of tumor necrosis factorα, interleukin-6, interleukin-18, TLR2 and TLR4 as wel as in the protein levels of COX-2, ICAM-1 and iNOS was found in the model group (both P<0.05). However, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation attenuated this ischemia/reperfusion-induced increase in the expression of the above-mentioned factors (P<0.05). Furthermore, the effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation were further augmented by pretreatment with emodin in a dose-dependent manner. These findings suggest that emodin can enhance the protective effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s on renal ischemia/reperfusion injury.
