ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the effect of Jianxin-Pinglyu Pills combined with routine western medicine therapy on the patients with diabetes mellitus and ventricular arrhythmia (VA). Methods:A total of 92 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and VA who met inclusion criteria and treated in the hospital were enrolled between June 2019 and December 2020. According to random number table method, they were divided into observation group ( Jianxin-Pinglyu Pills on basis of control group) and control group (routine treatment), 46 cases in each group. Both groups were continuously treated for 2 months. Before and after treatment, TCM symptoms (chest pain and palpitation, chest distress and shortness of breath, dry mouth and thirst, fatigue) were scored. The fingertip blood was collected to detect levels of fasting blood glucose and 2 hPG. The 24 h dynamic electrocardiogram examination was conducted by electrocardiograph. The standard deviation of NN intervals (SDNN), standard deviation average of NN intervals (SDANN), the root mean square of successive R-R interval (RMSSD) and the percentage of adjacent NN intervals over 50 ms (PNN50) were statistically analyzed. The creatine kinase (CK) and creatine kinase isoenzymes (CK-MB) were detected by biochemical analyzer. The plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) were detected by chemiluminescence immunoassay. The adverse reactions were recorded, and clinical curative effect was evaluated. Results:The differences in total response rate between observation group and control group were statistically significant [93.5% (43/46) vs. 78.3% (36/46); χ2=4.390, P=0.036]. After treatment, TCM symptoms (chest pain and palpitation, chest distress and shortness of breath, dry mouth and thirst, fatigue) in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group ( t=4.319, 2.714, 3.196, 4.667, P<0.01 or P<0.05), levels of fasting blood glucose and 2 hPG were significantly lower than those in control group ( t=2.025, 6.462, P<0.05 or P<0.01). After treatment, SDNN [(119.72 ± 5.86) ms vs. (115.27 ± 6.10) ms, t=3.568], SDANN [(112.80 ± 13.36) ms vs. (98.62 ± 14.51) ms, t=4.876], RMSSD [(46.87 ± 5.44) ms vs. (42.58 ± 5.73) ms, t=3.683] and PNN50 [(6.84 ± 0.66)% vs. (6.21 ± 0.64)%, t=4.648] in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group ( P<0.01), while the levels of CK [(263.82 ± 52.18) U/L vs. (306.59 ± 48.45) U/L, t=4.074] and CK-MB [(2.02 ± 0.62) g/L vs. (3.25 ± 0.49) g/L, t=10.556] were significantly lower than those in control group ( P<0.01), and level of plasma BNP [(126.99 ± 49.02) ng/L vs. (188.26 ± 54.30) ng/L, t=5.681] was significantly lower than that of control group ( P<0.01). During treatment, difference in incidence of adverse reactions between observation group and control group was not statistically significant [10.9% (5/46) vs. 4.3% (2/46); χ2 =0.619, P=0.432) ]. Conclusion:Jianxin-Pinglyu Pills combined with routine western medicine can effectively relieve clinical symptoms in patients with T2DM and VA, control hyperglycemia, improve heart rate variability, control levels of myocardial enzymes and plasma BNP, and safety.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effects of different root control attachment on root control and periodontal ligament （PDL） stress during canine distal translation in plastic aligner-based orthodontic treatment. Methods Through three-dimensional (3D) finite element technology, 11 models composed of 4 attachments and 3 kinds of loading were established. Namely, attachment A: no attachments; attachment B: traditional vertical rectangular attachment; attachment C: 1/4 spherical double optimized attachment; attachment D: double optimized door arch attachment; load a: 0.15 mm distal translation of the canine; b: load a+ application of 30 N·mm counterclockwise torque to stress surface of the attachment; load c: load a+ application of 30 N·mm counterclockwise torque to the entire crown. The root control effect of distal translation of the right maxillary canine was simulated with plastic aligner under different loads. Results Displacement modes of all models were distally tipped translation. The double optimized door arch attachment showed the optimal root control effect during canine distal translation. The root control effect for two groups of double optimized attachment was better than that of traditional rectangular attachment. The effect of adding attachments on root control of the canine was better than that of applying only counterclockwise couple. The PDL stress mainly appeared in distal alveolar ridge and root apex without attachment, while the PDL stress mainly appeared in distal alveolar ridge with attachment. Conclusions The most suitable measure to improve the effect of root control during canine distal translation is to use the double optimized door arch attachment in clinic.
ABSTRACT
In the study of oral orthodontics, the dental tissue models play an important role in finite element analysis results. Currently, the commonly used alveolar bone models mainly have two kinds: the uniform and the non-uniform models. The material of the uniform model was defined with the whole alveolar bone, and each mesh element has a uniform mechanical property. While the material of the elements in non-uniform model was differently determined by the Hounsfield unit (HU) value of computed tomography (CT) images where the element was located. To investigate the effects of different alveolar bone models on the biomechanical responses of periodontal ligament (PDL), a clinical patient was chosen as the research object, his mandibular canine, PDL and two kinds of alveolar bone models were constructed, and intrusive force of 1 N and moment of 2 Nmm were exerted on the canine along its root direction, respectively, which were used to analyze the hydrostatic stress and the maximal logarithmic principal strain of PDL under different loads. Research results indicated that the mechanical responses of PDL had been affected by alveolar bone models, no matter the canine translation or rotation. Compared to the uniform model, if the alveolar bone was defined as the non-uniform model, the maximal stress and strain of PDL were decreased by 13.13% and 35.57%, respectively, when the canine translation along its root direction; while the maximal stress and strain of PDL were decreased by 19.55% and 35.64%, respectively, when the canine rotation along its root direction. The uniform alveolar bone model will induce orthodontists to choose a smaller orthodontic force. The non-uniform alveolar bone model can better reflect the differences of bone characteristics in the real alveolar bone, and more conducive to obtain accurate analysis results.
