ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the correlation of bone metabolism biomarkers between newborn twins and their mothers during pregnancy.Methods:From January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2022, newborn twins with mild symptoms admitted to the neonatal department of our hospital were retrospectively reviewed. The clinical data of the twins and their mothers were collected, including bone metabolism biomarkers of the twins within 3 d after birth and their mothers within last month during pregnancy. The twins were assigned into different groups according to gestational age(GA), birth weight(BW), the relationship between BW and GA(appropriate for GA(AGA),small for GA(SGA) and large for GA(LGA), birth season, gender, and the mothers' age, ethnicity, pre-delivery body mass index (BMI), gestational BMI increase, number of births and chorionic properties. The correlations of bone metabolism biomarkers between the twins and their mothers were analyzed.Results:A total of 302 pairs of twins were included. The incidence of insufficient or deficient serum 25-(OH)D 3 was 97.4% among the mothers, and 87.7% among the twins. The levels of blood phosphorus ( r=0.262, P<0.001) and 25-(OH)D 3 ( r=0.239, P=0.002) in mothers were positively correlated with the twin with larger BW. No significant differences existed in 25-(OH)D 3 between genders, AGA,SGA and LGA, birth season, and mothers' age, ethnicity, pre-delivery BMI, gestational BMI increase and chorionic properties( P>0.05). 25-(OH)D 3 in the twins were positively correlated with BW and 25-(OH)D 3 of mothers before delivery ( P<0.05) and negatively correlated with number of births ( P<0.05). Conclusions:In most mothers and their newborn twins, 25-(OH)D 3 are insufficient or deficient. The levels of blood phosphorus and 25-(OH) D 3 are correlated between the newborns and their mothers. The lower the BW of the newborn, the more times the mother give birth and the lower the mother's pre-delivery 25-(OH)D 3 level, the lower the newborn's 25-(OH)D 3 level.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the inhibitory effect and mechanism of different doses of Xiao Chai Hu Tang on C6 glioma cells cultured in vitro. Methods:C6 glioma cells were inoculated in 96 holes,24 holes and 6 holes,each culture plate was divided into 4 groups:control group, low dose group, middle dose group and high dose group, when the cells covered the bottom of culture plate 80%-90%,began adding,cultured for 24 hours after the ter mination of training. Cell proliferation activity,cell viability,protein content and protein positive expression intensity of VEGF and ESM-1,cell apoptosis in early and late stage were detected by CCK-8,in vivo staining,ELISA, immunocytochemistry and flow cytometry. Results: CCK-8 assay showed that the growth of C6 glioma cells was inhibited by low,medium and high dose group;ELISA and immunocytochemistry showed that the expression of VEGF and ESM-1 was lower in the lower, middle and high dose groups, and the levels of protein expression and protein levels were decreased. The flow cytometry showed that the low dose of small radix,middle and high dose group could promote the cell apoptosis. Inverted microscope ob-servation showed that with the increase of dose,the number of cells increased gradually,and the number of dead cells increased,and all kinds of detection methods showed that the inhibition effect increased with dose and dose dependence. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0. 01). Conclusion:The growth of C6 glioma cells was significantly inhibited by Xiao Chai Hu Tang. It may play a role in inhibiting tumor growth by down regulating ESM-1 and VEGF protein level and promoting cell apoptosis.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo detect the effect of electroacupuncture combined with acupoint injection of deer melon polypeptide on the bone morpho-genetic protein synovial, BMPs and serum rheumatoid factor IgA-RF, IgM-RF.MethodsA total of 246 patients with Rheumatoid arthritis were divided randomly into control group and combined treatment group, 123 patients in each group. The control group received the treatment of electro-acupuncture, drug and Ultrashort wave therapy, and the combined treatment group continue to receive acupoint injection of deer melon polypeptide after 30 minutes when the treatment of control group was completed. Both groups were treated for 2 weeks. The expression of BMPs, MMP-1 and the ESR, serum rheumatoid factor IgA-RF, IgM-RF were detected. The morning stiffness time, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and visual analogue scale (VAS) were recorded for outcome assessment.ResultsCompared with control group after treatment, the positive expression rates of ESR (8.79 ±1.61 mm/hvs.12.41 ± 2.57 mm/h,t=3.654), IgM-RF (22.38% ± 5.45%vs.39.57% ± 6.18%,t=2.365), IgA RF (32.84% ± 6.57%vs.49.84% ± 4.20%,t=2.574) in the combined treatment group significantly decreased. Compared with the control group, the expression of BMPs (15.43 ± 2.94vs.7.22 ± 1.52,t=3.914) in the combined treatment group significantly increased, while MMP-1 (8.01% ± 1.54%vs. 15.34% ± 2.47%,t=2.015) in the combined treatment group significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with control group, the outcomes VAS (3.37 ± 0.35 vs.5.75 ± 0.39, t=3.251), WOMAC (22.36 ± 3.49vs.30.50 ± 4.11,t=4.021), and morning stiffness (34.32 ± 5.57 minvs. 49.84 ± 4.20 min,t=3.914) in the combined treatment group significantly decreased (P<0.05). The total effect rate (82.11%vs. 71.55%,χ2=12.764) of combined treatment group was significantly higher than control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Electroacupuncture combined with acupoint injection of deer and melon peptide can improve effect rate.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish the decision tree model of Yang deficiency syndrome and clinical conventional indexes in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.Methods Syndrome decision and clinical indexes collection from 249 type 2 diabetes mellitus patient were observed and analyzed.Tree structure model were built to summarize the correspondence between Yang deficiency syndrome and clinical conventional indexes based on T test,nonparametric analysis,and Spearman correlation analysis.Results The Yang deficiency syndrome accounted for 31.33％ of 249 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.The accuracy identification rate of tree structure model of Yang deficiency syndrome with four core index,such as LPa、FT3、TSH、FINS was 84.74％,the sensitivity and specificity were 74.36％ and 89.47％.Conclusion Decision tree model can identify Yang deficiency syndrome of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients clearly and more intuitive.Decision tree model can provide the chance of syndrome objective.
