Objective To observe the effect of moxa smoke (Artemisia vulgaris) on amino acids neurotransmitters in the brain of senescence accelerated mouse (SAMP8) and explore the anti-aging effect of moxa smoke. Methods Totally 70 SAMP8 were randomized into one model control group and 6 intervention groups, and 10 SAMR1 mice were used as normal control group. There were low, medium and high concentrations of moxa smoke during intervention. Moxa smoke intervention was performed 15 min/30 min each day for 28 days. High performance liquid chromatographic method was used to determine the levels of Glu, Asp and GABA in the brain of the mice. Results Compared with the normal control group, the levels of Asp and Glu in the model control group were significantly higher, while the GABA was significantly lower. The levels of Asp and Glu in 6 intervention groups were significantly lower than those in the model control group, while GABA was significantly higher than or the same as the model control group. There was no significant difference among different intervention groups in the levels of Asp and Glu, while the 30 min-medium concentration moxa smoke had the most significant effect in increasing the level of GABA. Conclusion Moxa smoke intervention could decrease the high level of Asp and Glu, and increase the low level of GABA in SAMP8. It could achieve the effect of anti-aging through adjusting the abnormal metabolism of amino acids in the brain.

Objective:To evaluate the influence of the implant-supported porcelain bridges made from non-precious metals using spark erosion techniques, and to discuss the feasibility and details of making the implant restoration by spark erosion technique.Methods: The study included 12 patients ( 9 males and 3 females) with 92 units implant-supported non-precious porcelain bridge from Sep.2011 to Feb. 2013.All the patients received implant treatment in Department of Oral Implantology, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology.The total of 52 implants, were from Nobel Biocare implant system, Camlog implant system and Ankylos implant system.The implant analogs were connected in sequence with a copper wire to guarantee conductivity.The implant electrodes represented one electrode and the superstructure the other.During spark-erosion machining, the cast holding the implant electrodes and the prosthetic framework were moved toward one another, causing an electrical erosion of the protruding ele-ments.Results:After the spark-erosion machining, the minimum gap between the framework and abut-ment was 0.21 mm, which was two units bridge.The maximum was 2.59 mm, which was 11 units bridge with 6 implants.The average gap was 0.68 mm.After the spark-erosion machining, the bridge fitted well with the passive position stability.Conclusion: The method of making implant-supported non-precious porcelain bridge reduces costs on patients.Spark erosion has the potential to provide implant framework with an excellent fit.The patients are satisfied with the clinical results.

Methods Semi-structured interviews were used with 7 surgical experts, 1 rehabilitation expert and 2 nurse experts. The Delphi method was used twice in revising the standard with 105 surgical experts in 15 hospitals in Shanghai. Results The evalua-tion standard of admission and discharge of patients in surgical department using rehabilitation nursing beds was established preliminarily through semi-structured interviews. Conclusions The standard was finally established through revising by letter.

Objective To construct several human proinsulin mutants plasmid related to diabetes and to express in INS-1 (Insulin secreting beta cell derived line) cell. Methods Human mild proinsulin gene was used as template , and site-directed mutagenesis PCR was employed to generate four human proinsulin plasmid mutants. Each mutant plasmid was sequenced then transfected with empty plasmid and mild plasmid into INS-1 cell by liposome 2000. Insulin value in each cell solution was determined by radioimmunoassay. Results Proinsulin mutants plasmid were confirmed by sequencing. In-sulin values in culture solution of H-C(B19)G、H-L(B11)P、H-R(S6)C mutants are less than those in wild type and H-F (B25)L(P＜0.05). Comparison of insulin values between H-C(B19)G、H-L(B11)P、H-R(S6)C groups were not statistically significant(P>0.05), and all these three groups showed no significant differences with empty plasmid group statistically (P>0.05).Insulin value of H-F(B25)L was of no significant differences statistically with empty plasmid(P>0.05). Conclu-sion Four human proinsulin mutants plasmid were constructed and expressed successfully in INS-1 cell, and different mu-tants plasmid result in diabetes through different mechanism.

Objective To study the construction of tissue engineering fat filler and the survival of fat particles.Methods Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) was derived from inguinal subcutaneous fat of rabbits,mixed with autologus mature fat particles and with or without neuropeptide Y to construct PLGA composite tissue.The complex was subcutaneously transplantef into back sites of the rabbits.Based on the different combination five groups were divided:Group A:PLGA + mature fat particles without NPY;Group B:PLGA + mature fat particles + NPY;Group C:PLGA + complex of SVF with mature fat particles without NPY;Group D:PLGA + complex of SVF with mature fat particles + NPY;Group E:Complex of SVF with mature fat particles + small ball with NPY.Diffenrence of virous constructive ways and fat particle survival was evaluated by general observation,histological staining,fluorescence tracing at two weeks,one month and three month after operation.Results Group D was superior to groups A,B,C and E in survival volume,graft texture and vascularization at one mouth and three mouths.The fat average srvival rate was 57.5±2.5％.Fat cell grew well,and precursor cells proliferated and differentiated actively.Conclusions High quality tissue engineering materials are successfully established with SVF-mature fat particle complex,PLGA and NPY,which could obviously improve fat particle transplantation.

Objective To observe the efficacy of pulsed dual-wavelength 595 and 1064 nm laser in treating ulcerated infantile hemangioma.Methods Lesions from 40 patients were treated with the laser.The distribution of lesion sites was in buttuck and perianal area (13 patients),vulvar lips (7),groin and inside thigh (5),scrotum (4),neck (3),scalp (2),lip (2),trunk and limbs (4).All lesions including ulcer and non-ulcer were conducted with 595 nm plused dye leaser at the first therapy.Later,595 nm pulsed dye leaser was continued or performed with Group 1 or Group 2 parameter of 595 and 1064 nm multiplex mode until the treatment was finished according to the thickness of the lesion.The frequency of treatment was one to six times.The interval of the treatment was four weeks.Results The ulcer from 39 lesions healed gradually in 1 to 2 weeks (average 9.5 days) after the first treatment.These ulcer lesions were healed four weeks after the first time of therapy.The recovery rate of ulcerated lesion was 97.5 ％.For the whole lesion,after 1 to 6 treatments,13 lesions showed excellent result,19 lesions showed good result,and the effective rate was 80 ％.Pain relieved 2 to 7days (average 3.5 days) after the first laser therapy in 35 patients who accompanied with pain.Pain score decreased from 1.875 to 0.125 before and after treatment,with significant difference(P＜0.05).The tolerance of the treatment was good and no side effect was observed.Conclusions 595and 1064 nm dual-wavelength laser is a safe and effective tool for treating ulcerated infantile hemangioma.
