ABSTRACT
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.
ABSTRACT
In recent years, the research on the anti-tumor effect of traditional Chinese medicine has been increasing year by year. Both the effective extracted ingredients of Chinese medicine and its compound preparations have significant efficacy and advantages in tumor treatment. Costunolide, the active ingredient of Aucklandia lappa (a traditional Chinese medicine), is a natural sesquiterpene lactone, which has a variety of pharmacological effects, such as anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, hypoglycemic effect, anti-microbial effect etc. In recent years, more and more experimental studies in vivo and in vitro have shown that this component has anti-tumor activity, which can inhibit the growth of breast cancer, gastric cancer, melanoma cancer, prostate cancer, leukemia, liver cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, esophageal cancer, colorectal cancer, osteosarcoma and other tumors. Its antitumor mechanism mainly lies in the regulation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR, AKT-MDM 2-p53, ROS-AKT/GSK-3β, Bcr / Abl, Stat5 and other signaling pathways, which affects reactive oxygen species, apoptosis-related proteins, autophagy-related proteins, and cyclin, and thus induces apoptosis, causes autophagy and arrests cell cycle in G2 / M phase, G1 phase, and S phase. In addition, the combination of costunolide with imatinib and doxorubicin can attenuate toxicity and enhance anti-tumor effect, and also reverse tumor drug resistance. By consulting and sorting out the relevant research literature at home and abroad, the author summarized the research progress of costunolide on the antitumor effect and mechanism, the combined drug use and the reversal of tumor drug resistance in order to provide theoretical basis for the development and utilization of new drugs of this ingredient.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the clinical effect of subcutaneous injection of nanofat combined with autologous fat into tear trough deformity to improve the mixed dark circle at lower eyelid, and the feasibility of using L*a*b* value to objectively evaluate the improvement of skin color at the lower eyelid with dark circle.@*Methods@#A total of 14 patients with the mixed dark circle at lower eyelid, admitted by Union Hospital of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from November 2017 to August 2018 were selected. They were all female, aged between 21 and 46 years old. Thigh or abdomen was selected as the fat donor area. Autologous fat was filled into the tear trough deformity. The prepared nanofat was injected into the subcutaneous layer of the lower eyelid with dark circle. Photoes were taken under the same condition and same room temperature for patients before operation and 6 months after operation. Photoshop, CS7 exposure correction, as well as 64 Image J software measurement were adopted to evaluate the skin L* a* b* value at dark circle of lower eyelid. SPSS 20.0 rows of data statistical analysis was applied with paired t test(P<0.05).@*Results@#All patients were followed up for 6 months after the operation, and a satisfactory effect was achieved after one injection, with an overall satisfaction rate of 78.6% (11/14). The color and skin fine wrinkles at the dark circle of the lower eyelid were improved in 14 patients, and the contour of the injection area was smooth without obvious complications. 6 months after the operation, the L* value of the skin at the lower eyelid with dark circle was 55.13±5.56, which was 7.74±2.39 higher than the preoperative value of 48.23±5.63, showing significant difference(t=12.089, P=0.00). Six months after surgery, the a* value was 14.68±2.84, which decreased by 0.11±0.60 compared with 14.79±3.04 before surgery, showing no statistically difference(t=-0.71, P=0.49). Six months after surgery, the b* value was 19.77±3.45, which increased by 0.27±1.03 compared with 19.50±3.45 before surgery, showing no statistical difference (t=0.98, P=0.35).@*Conclusions@#Subcutaneous injection of nanofat combined with autologous fat injection for tear trough deformity is effective in the treatment of lower eyelid with mixed dark circle. The L*a*b* value can objectively evaluate the improvement of skin color at the lower eyelid with dark circle.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effects of naringin (Nar) on hemodynamics in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion(MI/R) injury rats for investigating its protective role on MI/R rats.Methods The ischemia-reperfusion(I/R) model was prepared by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery,meanwhile different doses of Nar(10,20,40 mg/kg) were given.Then the electrocardiogram (ECG) was recorded after 7 d.The left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP),left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP) and maximum ascending rate of left ventricular pressure/maximal descending rate of left ventricular pressure (±dp/dtmax) were measured.The activities of srum creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were measured by using the chemical colorimetry method.Results Compared with the MI/R group,Nar 20,40 mg/kg could decrease LVEDP,increased ±dp/ dtmax and LVSP,and decreased the activities of serum CK and LDH (P＜0.05),showing a dose-dependent manner.Conclusion Nar has the protective effect against MI/R injury rat and alleviates the myocardial damage extent,which may be related with improving the hemodynamics.

ABSTRACT
Objeetive To discuss a reasonable postoperative management of breast augmentation by polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAHG) injection.Methods The retrospective study was used to analyze 157 cases which received breast augmentation by PAHG injection.MRI was used in all of cases preoperatively.Among these patients,23 were located by three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction,the content of mono acrylamide in the serum of 71 cases were examined in the hydrogel of 23 cases and in the tissue around the hydrogel of 12 cases,respectively.The silicone gel implants were planted after the removal of PAHG in 7 cases.Results MRI-3D could show the injectants location,scope,layer and integrality more intuitional and more detailed.The momo acrylamide was found in the serum with 7 cases,in the hydrogel with 5 cases,in the tissue around the hydrogel with 3 cases.131 cases gained satisfactory results.All the cases received 3 to 6 months follow-up.The scleroma was not found after the palpation of breast.In the 7 cases that were planted with the silicone gel implants immediately,the shape and texture of the breast were both great.Conclusions The preoperative MRI examination is a first-choice,and if possible,3D reconstruction is better.With the detecting methods so far,there is no strong evidence to support the possibility of PAHG resolving into poisonous acrylamide inside the human body.During the operation,the injectant,the integument around the hydrogel and degenerative tissue should be orthoptically cleared-up as much as possible.Sucking the injectant blindly is not commended.The silicon gel prosthesis is planted to reconstruct the shape of breast immediately,but the prerequisite is that the patients have this demand and that the muscle is intact without inflammation.
