RESUMEN
Tripterygium wilfordii is widely used in the treatment of autoimmune system diseases, but its obvious reproductive toxicity limits the clinical application and promotion of the drug. At present, there is no clear solution to the reproductive injury of Tripterygium wilfordii. TCM believes that its reproductive toxicity lies in its properties of pungent, bitter, and cold. Long-term use can dry liver and blood, hurt liver and yang, consume kidney essence, damage kidney and yang, destroy the balance of qi and blood, yin and yang in the internal organs, and cause infertility. Based on the relationship between liver and kidney and human reproductive function, this article proposed to understand the reproductive toxicity of Tripterygium wilfordii from the perspective of "Yi and Gui homology", and explored the method of reducing the reproductive toxicity of Tripterygium wilfordii according to the thought of "treating liver and kidney together", in order to expand the theoretical thinking of TCM for the safe clinical application of this drug.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND:Clinically,the most dangerous and serious complication of artificial joint replacement is periprosthetic infections.It is urgent to find a way to prevent periprosthetic infections after artificial joint replacement. OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of povidone-iodine on muscle,blood vessel,fat and bone of rabbits after immersion and flushing. METHODS:Forty male New Zealand rabbits aged 10 weeks were selected.The left hind leg of each rabbit served as the experimental group and the right hind leg served as the control group.After anesthesia,the hind limbs of each rabbit were cut open to expose the muscle,blood vessels,fat and bone.The control group was soaked and flushed with normal saline inside the surgical incision,while the experimental group was soaked and flushed with povidone-iodine inside the surgical incision.After being soaked in povidone-iodine for 0,1,3,5 minutes,10 rabbits were randomly selected and executed to collect wound tissue samples.The samples were made into pathological slices for hematoxylin-eosin staining observation as well as statistical analysis and comparison of cell counts. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group,the muscle,blood vessels,fat and bone after immersion and flushing with povidone-iodine showed no obvious difference in cell structure,morphology and number under microscope.The paired t-test was used to explore the difference between the control and experimental groups,and the paired data did not show any difference(P>0.05).It is suggested that povidone-iodine shows no significant difference from normal saline after immersion and flushing of rabbit tissues such as muscle,blood vessels,fat and bone,indicating that povidone-iodine solution as an intra-incisional antiseptic is safe and effective.
RESUMEN
Objective:To analyze the results of the free breast cancer screening project for rural women in Qinba area, and to investigate intervention measures for the improvement of screening rate.Methods:The data of 5 974 rural women aged 35 to 64 years old with breast cancer in Qinba area during two cancer screening in 3201 Hospital Affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University College of Medicine and Nanjiang County Women and Children Hospital between August 2021 and March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The characteristics of the screened population, the results of breast ultrasonography, mammography and pathological examination were statistically analyzed.The differences in the positive rates of breast ultrasonography and breast ultrasonography supplemented with mammography in the clinical screening of breast cancer among different age groups were compared.Results:The highest participation rate was found in those aged 45 to 49 years old, accounting for 29.56% (1 766/5 974); the lowest participation rate was those aged 60 to 64 years old, accounting for 3.65% (218/5 974). According to breast ultrasonography screening, 976 (16.34%) cases were suspected positive, 282 (4.72%) cases were positive; 84 (1.41%) were screened for mammography, 18 (21.43%) cases were suspected positive and 6 (7.14%) cases were positive; and the detection rate of breast cancer was 66.96/ 100 000 (4/5 974). There were statistically significant differences in the positive rate of clinical breast cancer screening by breast ultrasonography and breast ultrasonography supplemented with mammography among different age groups (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:Breast cancer screening in Qinba area has achieved some good results. The screening mode of physical examination combined with breast ultrasound supplemented with mammography is suitable for this area, but the compliance of the population is poor. The scientific awareness of breast cancer in rural women should be improved.
RESUMEN
Objective@#To investigate eating behavior and associated family factors of preschool children during the prevalence of Corona Virus Disease(COVID-19), and to provide scientific basis for healthy eating behavior for preschool children.@*Methods@#A total of 1 829 preschool children were investigated by electronic questionnaire from 5 kindergartens in Shenzhen from March 18-20, 2020. SPSS 19.0 was used to perform logistic regression analysis on the factors for eating behavior.@*Results@#The rate of unhealthy eating behavior during the prevalence of COVID-19 was 47.2%. The rate of unhealthy eating behaviors in boys and girls were 46.1% and 48.4%, respectively. And there was no significant difference between different genders(χ 2=1.02,P=0.31). The rate of unhealthy eating behaviors of preschool children aged 3-, 4-, 5- and 6- were 56.6%, 56.8%, 42.3% and 29.9%, respectively, and the differences between different ages were significant(χ 2=72.17,P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that fathers high education level, mothers education level(OR=0.78,0.77,0.21), and parents satisfaction with children s eating were associated with low nutritional problems of child, while parental permission to play while eating, criticize while eating, force child to eat more and force child to eat foods they do not like, and parental concerns about children s appetite, were associated with more unhealthy eating behavior(OR=6.29,1.80,2.20,1.70,2.16)(P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#The prevalence of unhealthy eating behaviors of preschool children during the prevalence of COVID-19 is lower than usual, but the health education of preschool children s families still needs to be strengthened.

RESUMEN
Hepatic cellular carcinoma is the third most common cause of cancer deaths in China.Partial hepatectomy is still the most effective treatment for hepatic cellular carcinoma.The liver is an organ with strong regenerative ability,and its regenerative mechanism is very complex.Majority of patients with hepatic cellular carcinoma are accompanied by cirrhosis,and cirrhosis is an important factor affecting the regeneration of the remaining liver after surgery.Liver regeneration is obviously impaired under this condition.However,the anti-liver fibrosis mechanisms behind these processes have not been completely elucidated,the current treatment of fibrosis is merely supportive care,and thus further definition of the antiliver fibrosis related factors such as keratinocyte growth factor,hepatocyte growth factor,milk fat globule epidermal growth factor 8,collagen-binding vascular endothelial growth factor,ex vivo expansion of circulating CD34+ cells has far-reaching significance for improving their prognosis.This article mainly introduces some relevant factors associated with anti liver fibrosis,for later use of single factor or a combination of multifarious factors to resist liver fibrosis,to provide reference for improving the ability of remained liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy.
RESUMEN
Objective:To evaluate the impact of change in the hormone receptor (HR) status on the long-term outcomes of breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).Methods:There were 215 patients for the HR status of their lesions before and after NAC.After surgery,59 cases were confirmed to have achieved complete remission of pathology,The expression of hormo ne receptors was not consistent in 63 patients before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.63 patients were divided into two groups,Group A:39 patients received standard endocrine therapy for 5 years after surgery and chemotherapy;Group B:24 patients were not treated with standard endocrine therapy after surgery and chemotherapy.Conclusions:The 3-year DFS rates were 77.4% and 54.2% in Group A and Group B patients,respectively,There was not statistical significancebetween the two groups.The 5-year overall survival rate for Group A patients was higher than that of Group B patients(74.3% vs 45.8%,P=0.028),The difference was statistically significant.Conclusions:This study revealed that breast cancer patients with HR altered after NAC still benefit from standard endocrine therapy.

RESUMEN
Computer tomography scanning was performed in 16 patients with mandibular angle hypertrophy before and after surgery. The imaging data of patients were recorded in three-dimensional reconstruction software (Mimics 10.0), and found the most appropriate surgery plan through simulating different surgical procedures. The geometry character indexes of the face were compared between before and after surgery, and then the results were analyzed. We got intuitive, accurate three-dimensional reconstruction graphs, simulation of surgery procedures, and calculation of difference in the geometry character index of face in all cases. The bone width of mandibular angle shortened (7.69?.89) mm; the soft tissue width of mandibular angle shortened (5.13?.19) mm; the both gonial angle increased (5.68?.43)?and (5.91?.66)? respectively. Applied to actual surgery procedure,the operation time shortened and precision of operation was improved. Results demonstrated that Computer three-dimensional reconstruction and computer simulation techniques is beneficial to reveal the variational regularity of bone and soft tissue, which is a good aided method in stimulation of surgery and choice of surgery plan.
