Threatened abortion is a common disease of obstetrics and gynecology and one of the diseases responding specifically to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The China Association of Chinese Medicine organized experts in TCM obstetrics and gynecology, Western medicine obstetrics and gynecology, and pharmacology to deeply discuss the advantages of TCM and integrated Chinese and Western medicine treatment as well as the medication plans for threatened abortion. After discussion, the experts concluded that chromosome, endocrine, and immune abnormalities were the key factors for the occurrence of threatened abortion, and the Qi and blood disorders in thoroughfare and conception vessels were the core pathogenesis. In the treatment of threatened abortion, TCM has advantages in preventing miscarriages, alleviating clinical symptoms and TCM syndromes, relieving anxiety, regulating reproductive endocrine and immune abnormalities, personalized and diversified treatment, enhancing efficiency and reducing toxicity, and preventing the disease before occurrence. The difficulty in diagnosis and treatment of threatened abortion with traditional Chinese and Western medicine lies in identifying the predictors of abortion caused by maternal factors and the treatment of thrombophilia. Recurrent abortion is the breakthrough point of treatment with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. It is urgent to carry out high-quality evidence-based medicine research in the future to improve the modern diagnosis and treatment of threatened abortion with TCM.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a group of unexplainable abnormal proliferation and aggregation of Langerhans cell. LCH can be classified into four clinical variants: Letterer-Siwe disease, Hand-Schüller-Christian disease, eosinophilic granuloma, and congenital self-healing LCH. LCH is most prevalent in children. Lesions can be localized in a single system or multiple organs, and clinical manifestations vary depending on the affected organs. The skin and mucocutaneous tissues are the starting point of the affected tissue. This study presents a LCH case characterized by transient self-healing. This case can further provide references for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of LCH.

Objective To study the effect of intestinal bacteria on motor ability of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) mice models and its mechanism. Methods Twenty wild type C57BL/6J mice (WT group) and 20 SOD1-G93A transgenic ALS mice (ALS group) were selected as the research subjects. (1) Ten mice in both WT group and ALS group were selected, respectively; 5 mice in each group were fed in SPF environment, and the remaining 5 mice were fed in aseptic environment; they were defined as WT+SPF group, WT+aseptic group, ALS+SPF group and ALS+aseptic group. (2) Ten mice in WT group and ALS group were fed in sterile environment; 5 mice in each group were transplanted with fecal bacteria, and the remaining 5 mice were not interfered; they were defined as WT+transplantation group, WT+non-transplantation group, ALS+transplantation group and ALS+non transplantation group. The grip strength of mice was measured by grip force meter, the motor coordination ability of mice was tested by roller treadmill and rotating rod test, the number of motor neurons in the anterior horn of spinal cord was measured by Nissl staining, the expression of microglia activation marker ionic calcium junction protein (IBA-1) in spinal cord tissues was detected by immunohistochemical staining, and the expressions of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6 in spinal cord tissues were detected by Western blotting; the β-N-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) expression was detected by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Results (1) The grip strength, drop latency and drop time of ALS+aseptic mice were significantly higher than those of ALS+SPF mice, the number of Nissl-stained positive cells was significantly larger than that of ALS+SPF mice, the number of IBA-1 positive cells was significantly smaller than that of ALS+SPF mice, the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 protein expressions and BMAA concentration were statistically lower than those of ALS+SPF mice (P<0.05). (2) The grip strength, drop latency and drop time of ALS+transplantion mice were significantly lower than those of ALS+non-transplantation mice, the number of Nissl-stained positive cells was significantly smaller than that of ALS+non-transplantation mice, the number of IBA-1 positive cells was significantly larger than that of ALS+non-transplantation mice, the TNF-α and IL-6 protein expressions and BMAA concentration were significantly higher than those of ALS+non-transplantation mice (P<0.05). Conclusion Imbalance of intestinal bacteria homeostasis can decrease the motor ability of ALS mice, which is related to the activation of microglia.

BACKGROUND:Percutaneous kyphoplasty is the main treatment for senile osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures, but increasing number of patients who have not been treated with anti-osteoporosis therapy after operation develop secondary fractures due to decreased bone mineral density and changes of stress. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the feasibility of consecutive 2-year zoledronic acid treatment following percutaneous kyphoplasty for preventing secondary vertebral fracture. METHODS: 186 elderly patients with thoracolumbar compressive fractures were divided into experimental (n=84) and control (n=102) groups based on their willingness to receive zoledronic acid treatment or not after percutaneous kyphoplasty. The experimental group was treated with calcium and alfacalcidol fololwed by 2 years of zoledronic acid treatment, while only calcium and alfacalcidol treatment was done in the control group. The bone mineral density, pain and function were respectively assessed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, visual analogue scale and Oswestry disability index, and the number of refractures was calculated at baseline and at the 2nd year after the second injection of zoledronic acid. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The bone mineral density, visual analogue scale and Oswestry disability index scores at 2 years after treatment in both two groups were significantly superior to those at baseline (P < 0.05). The number of refractures in the experimental group (n=1) was significantly less than that in the control group (n=9) (P < 0.05). These results suggest that zoledronic acid can prevent secondary fractures after percutaneous kyphoplasty in the elderly with osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures, improve long-term function and clinical effectiveness.

Genotoxic or potentially genotoxic impurities seriously threaten people′s health, therefore, it is necessary to identify and quantify these impurities in pharmaceutical materials even at trace levels. Due to the special requirements on the sensitivity, selectivity, analyte stability and matrix effect, development of analytical methods is a challenge for the determination of genotoxic impurities. This paper reviews the recent advances in analytical methods for trace levels of commonly encountered genotoxic or potentially genotoxic impurities, including alkyl halides, alkyl sulfonates, hydrazines, epoxides and acyl halides, which would be helpful to control these impurities.

Objective To investigate the incidence of falls in elderly people in a community of Suzhou during the past year and to provide evidence of preventive interventions. Methods The study collected 1 342 elderly people aged 60 and above, from a community of Suzhou using the method of cluster sampling. The participants were face-to-face interviewed their falling experiences during last year. Results A total of 223 people of the participants had falling experiences and occurred 392 times of falling during last year, and the falling incidence was 16. 62%. Among these cases, 650 (22. 62%) were female;692 (10. 98%) were male;the incidence of female was higher than the male (χ2 =32. 734,P<0. 01). The falling incidence rates of age 60-69, 70-79, 80 -89 and over 90 were 11. 33%, 16. 40%, 18. 52%, 26. 67%; falling incidence was increased with the age (χ2 =11. 261,P<0. 01). In 223 falling cases, only 5. 38% had not injured;72. 65%had soft tissue injury;18. 39% were bruised; 3. 59% had fractures and 62. 50% of them were hip fracture. 75. 35% of the people who had falling experience were afraid of second-time falling, while 32. 74% had limited the activities because of falling. Conclusions The falling incidence is very high in this community and falling experiences have negative effects on both physical and psychological health in elderly people. For this reason, effective preventive interventions are urged for these groups.
