[Abstract]Objective To provide guidance for oral health prevention by investigating oral health status of 480 Lahu people.Methods Oral health status of 480 Lahu people were investigated by trained dental therapists using standard diagnostic criteria and record. Participants were divided into 4 groups according to their age. Results The Lahu People in Linxiang county suffered from severe dental caries and periodontal disease. The caries prevalence rate among children of 5 years old was 78.3%. The rate of calculus among the children of 12 years old was 75%. The prevalence rates of caries and periodontal pockets were 91.7% and 43.3% among the adults between 35 and 44 years old. The above data were significantly higher than the results of the Third National Oral Health Survey. The rates of gingival bleeding and periodontal pocket were 51.7% and 49.2% among the aged from 65 to 74 years old, which were lower than that of the Third National Oral Health Survey. Among the participants,76% never brushed teeth and 85% brushed teeth only once a day in people who brushed teeth regularly. Conclusion Poor status and maintenance of oral health in the Lahu People suggest that education and resources for oral health should be invested.

Abstract:
[Abstract]Objective To investigate the gene expression change of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β at different time points in brain tissues of rats with cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury. Methods A total of 24 adult male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: sham group and 3 groups with brain ischemia reperfusion of 3h, 6h and 12h. Real-Time PCR was used to analyze the gene expression of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β at 3h, 6h, and 12h after reperfusion. Results In the sham group, the mRNA expression levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1βin were low, but increased immediately after brain ischemia injury and decreased gradually thereafter. The gene expression of TNF-α mRNA at 3h after reperfusion was significantly increased and reached the peak (P<0.01) then significantly decreased at 12h after reperfusion. The gene expression of IL-6 mRNA was notably increased at 3h after reperfusion and peaked at 6h (P<0.01), and significantly decreased at 12h compared with 6h (P<0.01). The gene expression of IL-1βmRNA at 3h after reperfusion was significantly increased, peaked at 6h (P<0.01) and significantly decreased at 12h (P<0.01). Conclusion The gene expression levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β mRNA increased significantly in the early stage of reperfusion and decreased gradually after reaching the peak, which suggested that the gene expression change of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1β was involved in the mechanism of cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury.

Abstract:
[Abstract]Objective To study the effect of DNA methylation regulation on the toxic effect of paraquat on the sensitized V79 cells t pretreated with 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine. Methods V79 cells were treated by 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-2'-dc) for 12h, which is a DNA methylation inhibitor,and then treated with paraquat for 12h. The morphological changes of V79 cells were observed by microscopy and the cell viability was determined by MTT assay and trypan blue staining method.Results Microscopic examination showed that the combination of 5-Aza-2'-dc and paraquat had stronger effect in inhibiting the growth of V79 cells(the cells became smaller and poorer adhensive ability ) than single 5-Aza-2'-dc or paraquat. MTT assay showed that cell viability in the combination group (54.47±3.04)% was significantly lower than the 5-Aza-2'-dc group(95.52 ± 0.90)% and paraquat group(89.68±4.26)% (P<0.05). Trypan blue staining assay showed that the death rate of cells in the combination group(53.58±1.57)% was significantly higher than the 5-Aza-2'-dc group(7.44 ± 2.31)% and paraquat group(12.90±1.21)%(P<0.05). Conclusion 5-Aza-2'-dc promotes V79 cells damage caused by paraquat.

Abstract:
[Abstract]Objective To explore species specificity of 29 Y-SNP loci and to lay the foundation for forensic application. Methods Human DNA and 8 different kinds of common animals' DNA were amplified separately by PCR. The PCR products were analyzed with PAGE. Results Twenty-three out of 29 Y-SNP loci were only amplified by the male human DNA, which indicated a good species specificity. Three loci amplified from human and some animals showed that the length of the product was different between two species. Another three loci amplified from human and animal showed that the length of the fragment was similar between human and animal. Five loci were amplified by PCR products from both male and female samples. Conclusion Most of 29 Y-SNP loci, amplified in male humans, have good species specificity and can be directly used for personal identification and paternity testing.

Abstract:
[Abstract]Objective To investigate the characteristics of diet for infants in relatively poor counties in different cities of Yunnan and to provide a reference for carrying out educational consultation in the future by comparing and analyzing the data of infant diet in those areas. Methods Based on the GDP and habits of diet, the characteristics of infants' diet was investigated and analyzed in four counties including Yiliang in Zhaotong, Jianchuan in Dali, Lushui in Nujiang, and Mojiang in Puer, with low income and different habits of diet. Results No difference was found among people who fed the infants in terms of sex, age groups, feeding relationship and degree of education except for one fact that the feeding rate of parents in Jianchuan county was lower than that in Yiliang county. Based on the standard intake of nutrient in Chinese people, the intake of infant protein in 6-12 months achieved Chinese standard in four counties. Energy, fat and carbohydrates were lower than the standard (P<0.05). Apart from the fact that energy, protein, fat and carbohydrates were lower in Yiliang county, no significant difference was found among four counties. The intake of protein and carbohydrates for infants in 13-24 months achieved Chinese standard in the four counties, but energy and fat were lower than the standard. The carbohydrates of infants in 6-24 months was normal and the fat was lower compared with acceptable macro nutrient distribution ranges. The intake of carbohydrates, fat and protein were similar among four counties. Conclusion The diet composition and the nutrient condition for infants are poor in four counties. Health education of nutrition for infants is needed in those areas.

Abstract:
[Abstract]Objective To determine the prevalence of fatigue among taxi drivers in Kunming city, to better understand their general working and health conditions,and to determine the risk factors associated with fatigued driving.Methods A total of 400 taxi drivers were randomly selected for participation in a self-administered questionnaire survey, which included height and weight measurements. The response rate was 88.3%. The survey consisted of four main categories: personal particulars,social habits,work patterns and sleep profile. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale was used to estimate the level of daytime sleepiness and fatigue. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the adjusted odd ratios and 95% confidence interval associated with risk factors related to fatigue among taxi drivers. Results A high proportion of taxi drivers were obese and had self-reported hypertension, diabetes mellitus and high cholesterol. Driver fatigue was associated with very poor/poor self-rating of quality of sleep,having an additional part-time job,and driving more than 10 hours a day. Conclusion The findings of the present study will improve awareness of the work and health conditions of taxi drivers,and contribute toward efforts to achieve a healthier workforce. A lower prevalence of fatigued driving may lead to lower risks of road traffic accidents,lower economic loss,higher productivity,and safer roads for all.

[Abstract]Objective To provide useful information on reducing risky drinking for the Dept. of Public Health taking a county in Yunnan province as an example to explore the risk factors related to risky drinking. Methods A total of 574 participants identified as Miao,Yi and Han People at or older than 12 years old,who had been living there for 6 months or more were selected and surveyed in 5 townships in the county through stratified sampling. Alcohol consumption was collected using the beverage-specific quantity frequency (BSQF) method and analyzed using binary logistic regression and chi-square test. Results The number of drinkers in the family, undesirable drinking environment among friends and enculturation (β=0.073) could increase the likelihood of risky drinking. Risky drinking pattern was positively associated with age (β=1.006), and negatively associated with gender (β=-2.947) and awareness of risky drinking among rural residents. Conclusion The important measures to control risky drinking behavior in terms of health promotion and education include reducing the number of drinkers in the family, and preventing from undesirable drinking environment among friends and harmful drinking culture. These measures are crucial to prevent early onset of alcohol drinking among teenagers and to reduce risky drinking among middle aged and aged population.

FEV1 and FEV1/FVC% were recorded,and the concentration of IL-8 and MMP-9 in the sputum supernatant and serum were tested with double antibody sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay before and after treatment. All the data and correlation were analyzed with t test and SPSS software. Results(1)Before the treatment,serum IL-8 concentration in COPD patients was 28.30±14.39 pg/mL, higher than that in the control group[17.46±3.48)pg/mL,P=0.008]. After treatment, the serum IL-8 concentration was significantly decreased [(13.30±6.31)pg/mL,P=0.000]. IL-8 concentration of sputum significantly decreased after treatment[(501.60± 508.61)pg/mL,P=0.042]than one before treatment(639.40±703.12)pg/mL. (2) Before treatment, serum MMP-9 concentration in patients with AECOPD was 1.12 ±0.36 ng/mL, lower than control group[(17.89±11.00)ng/mL,P=0.000)]. After treatment, the serum MMP-9 concentration was significantly decreased[(0.87±0.31)ng/mL,P=0.000]. MMP-9 concentration of sputum before treatment(12.04±12.22)ng/mL decreased significantly after treatment [(8.02±7.13)ng/mL,P=0.005].(3)Before treatment, no correlation was seen between the concentration of serum IL-8 and FEV1, FEV1/FVC. Negative correlation was observed between the sputum IL-8 concentration and FEV1/FVC and no correlation was found with FEV1. After treatment,we found that no correlation showed between the concentration of IL-8 and FEV1, FEV1/FVC, and negative correlation was seen between the IL-8 concentration in sputum and FEV1, FEV1/FVC. (4)Before treatment,no correlation between the concentration of serum MMP-9 and FEV1, FEV1/FVC was observed and no correlation between the sputum MMP-9 concentration with FEV1 was seen. Negatively correlation was found between the sputum MMP-9 level wtih FEV1/FVC. After treatment, we observed no correlation between the serum concentration of MMP-9 and FEV1, FEV1/FVC, and negative correlation between the concentration of MMP-9 in sputum and FEV1,FEV1/FVC. Conclusion The concentration of IL-8 and MMP-9 in serum and sputum in patients with acute exacerbation of COPD is higher than those in the stable phase. IL-8 and MMP-9 levels in serum show no correlation with lung function. Negative correlation was observed between IL-8 and MMP-9 levels in sputum and lung function. We can test the levels of IL-8 and MMP-9 in sputum to evaluate the severity of the disease.

Abstract:
[Abstract]Objective To compare the traditional electrophysiological testing with modified methods for differential diagnosis of Radial Tunnel Syndrome(RTS). Methods A total of 87 selected patients were initially diagnosed as Lateral Epicondylitis(LE) or Tennis Elbow (TE) by doctors from the Outpatient Department of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation. Medical history was asked. Patients received physical examination and examinations for the sensory nerve action potential(SNAP) of superficial radial nerve, the compound muscle action potential(CMAP) of radial nerve and needle electromyography(EMG)to record the muscle Motor Unit Action Potentials(MUAPs). Then, the modified methods for CMAP of radial nerve were conducted on the forearm in the neutral,pronation and supination positions. Three values of CMAP latency were compared. RTS was diagnosed when the difference value≥0.3 ms. The χ2 test was used to compare the positive detectable rates of the two methods for the RTS diagnosis. Results Thirteen out of 87 patients were diagnosed as RTS,among which three had interosseous nerve lesion and one had superficial radial nerve lesion. The traditional EMG failed to diagnose the remaining 9 RTS cases. These patients were finally diagnosed due to their latency difference of radial nerve CMAP ≥0.3ms when their forearms were examined in three positions. Conclusion The modified electrophysiology method shows a higher positive rate for the diagnosis of RTS. (P<0.05).

Abstract:
[Abstract]Objective To observe the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions between pemetrexed plus cisplatin and paclitaxel plus cisplatin in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Methods Forty-two cases with non-small cell lung cancer in our hospital from June 2013 to June 2015 were selected. Patients were randomly divided into observation group and control group with 21 cases in each group. The observation group was treated with pemetrexed plus cisplatin and the control group was treated with paclitaxel plus cisplatin. The clinical efficacy and adverse reactions were observed after two courses (21 days of a course) and the statistical analysis was performed. Results In the observation group and control group, response rate and clinical benefit rate were 33.33%(7/21),28.57%(6/21)and 76.19%(16/21), 71.43%(15/21) respectively. No statistical significance were seen between the two groups (P>0.05).The rate of hair loss (23.81%)(5/21)and the total number of adverse reactions(18.37%)(27/147)in the observation group were significantly lower than the rate of hair loss (47.62%)(10/21)and the total number of adverse reactions(25.17%)(37/147)in the control group(P<0.05). No statistical significance was found in the incidence rate of leukopenia,neutropenia, erythropenia,thrombocytopenia,nausea and vomiting and phlebitis between the two groups(P>0.05). Conclusion Pemetrexed plus cisplatin is as effective as paclitaxel plus cisplatin in the treatment of advanced NSCLC with less adverse reactions and is much safer than paclitaxel plus cisplatin. Pemetrexed plus cisplatin is more valuable in the clinical treatment of advanced NSCLC.

Abstract:
[Abstract]Objective To study the serum levels of melatonin, tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α)and interferon gamma(IFN-γ)in multiple sclerosis(MS) patients and the correlation with disability. Methods Forty patients with multiple sclerosis were collected as MS group and 30 healthy participants were collected as control group. Serum levels of melatonin and cytokines, including IFN-γ and TNF-, were detected in all participants by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)method; disability status of patients with MS was evaluated by EDSS scale. The relevant analysis between serum melatonin, TNF-α, IFN-γ levels and EDSS score in patients with MS was conducted. Results The concentration of serum melatonin in MS group was significantly lower than control group(P<0.01). TNF-α levels were higher than control group(P<0.05)and the difference was statistically significant between MS patients and control group. Among MS group and control group, no significant correlation with the serum levels of IFN-γ was seen. The serum melatonin level was inversely correlated with EDSS score in MS patients(r = -0.76,P<0.01),and positively correlated with TNF-α(r = 0.83,P<0.01) and as compared to IFN-γ,no significant correlation was found (r = 0.17,P>0.05). Conclusion The decrease of melatonin and increase of TNF-α can be a factor in the inflammatory reaction in patients with MS,and is closely related with dysfunction occurring in multiple sclerosis. Serum melatonin and TNF-αcan be used as laboratory indicators to monitor clinical curative effect and evaluate prognosis of MS.

Abstract:
[Abstract]Objective To discuss whether it is necessary to integrate metabolic indices into diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS). Methods Taking ESHRE/ASRM diagnosis as the gold standard, 51 women with PCOS and 47 women without PCOS were selected and divided into the intervention group and control group respectively from the Department of Gynecology in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University between January 2013 and July 2014. Logistic regression based on principal component analysis and significant variables chosen through single factor analysis were used to establish the new diagnostic model which combined reproductive indices and metabolic indices. We evaluated the validity and reliability of the new diagnostic model by using ROC curve analysis. Finally,we analyzed the consistence and difference between the new diagnostic model and the gold standard. Results Thirteen significant variables were chosen using single factor analysis. ROC analysis showed that an area under the curve was 0.976(P<0.001) and the optimal cut-off point was 0.526 with a sensitivity of 96.08%, a specificity of 93.62% and a consistency of93.88%. The new diagnostic model had superior validity and reliability. The two diagnostic methods had strong consistence(Kappa=0.877,P<0.001) and no difference (χ2=0.167, P=0.688). Conclusion Considering that the integration of metabolic indices does not change the diagnosis result, we come to a conclusion that it is unnecessary to integrate metabolic indices into diagnosis of PCOS.

Abstract:
[Abstract]Objective To analyze the application of human blood albumin among patients with traumatic fracture. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted in 86 patients with hypoalbuminemia after traumatic fracture from December 2013 to May 2014 in our hospital,including 43 patients with closed fractures and 43 patients with open fracture. To observe the curative effect,patients with closed fracture and open fracture were divided into the treatment group and the control group respectively according to the use of human albumin. Results Among the patients with closed fracture in the therapeutic group and the control group,wound healing time,soft tissue swelling fade time,white blood cell count, neutrophil percentage, c-reactive protein and wound infection rates were compared and no significant differences were seen(P>0.05). In terms of the treatment of open fractures, the observed indicators showed statistical significance after the application of human blood albumin compared with the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion Not all the patients with hypoalbuminemia after traumatic fractures are suitable for the application of human blood albumin at the first place. Advantages are seen among patients with hypoalbuminemia after open fractures when they are applied with human blood albumin. Human blood albumin can promote postoperative recovery of the fractures and reduce the risk of infection,which is worthy of popularization and application.

Abstract:
[Abstract]Bone and soft tissue tumors are one of the most difficult tumors to be diagnosed in terms of various kinds, complicated manifestations under the microscope, and atypical clinical features. Most bone and soft tissue tumors cause the metastasis in surrounding vital organs, where multidisciplinary teamwork is critically needed. Traditional models are not able to meet the needs of the diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, we should actively develop the MDT (Multi-Disciplinary Team) strategy of the diagnosis and treatment of the bone and soft tissue tumors to reduce the missed diagnosis rate and misdiagnosis rate and improve the survival rate and patients' quality of life by enhancing accessibility to the reasonable, standardized and accurate treatment.
