This paper mainly discussed how Chinese archaic ideologist realize emotionality. The contents include five aspects: emotionality is related to human nature and morality; Chinese pay more attention to cultivate himself according to morality, control his emotion and need, keep harmonious relationship with others, emotionality is in association with or- gans. The author thought that the meaning of Chinese emotionality is not only the emotional reaction of oneself, but in- volves comprehensive features of individual emotional response, dealing with matters and behaviors, and it is closely relat- ed to the cultivation of morality and human nature and relative to human nature and morality. Chinese opinion is different from western psychologists’thoughts.

BACKGROUND:Compared with smooth titanium, titania nanotubes cannot only induce mesenchymal stem cels osteogenic differentiation and promote bone integration, but also be used as drug nanocarriers. OBJECTIVE:To prepare dexamethasone-loaded titania nanotube system and to test its drug release characteristics. METHODS:Titania nanotubes were prepared by electrochemical anodic oxidation, and dexamethasone was dripped onto the prepared titania nanotubes. Subsequently layer by layer self-assembly technology was employed to fabricate gelatin/chitosan multilayered structure on the prepared samples. Scanning electron microscope and contact angle test were carried out during the process of building the gelatin/chitosan multilayered structure. The drug release was measured by a ultraviolet spectrophotometer. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Under the scanning electron microscopy, the fabricated titania nanotubes had integral structure with even tube size of about 70 nm and arranged regularly, and the nanotubes were completely covered and sealed by the gelatin/chitosan multilayered membrane. Contact angle test results showed that ever since the fifth layer, contact angles changed alternately and displayed a zigzag profile. Ultraviolet spectrophotometer test results showed that when cultured for 3 hours, the cumulative drug release was about 32.7% and demonstrated an initial burst folowed by sustained release. When cultured for 24 hours, the cumulative drug release about 52.3%. However, after cultured for 7 days, little drug release was detected. And there was about 8.0%-10.0% dexamethasone of initial loading preserved in nanotubes.

OBJECTIVETo study the influence of nasolabial angle alteration on facial profile attractiveness and investigate the perception differences in profile attractiveness among laypeople.
METHODSA young Chinese female with normal hard and soft tissue cephalometric values was chosen as a research object. Profile photograph was taken in a natural head position. Photoshop software was chosen to rotate the nose tip and upper lip, thus changing the degree and direction of nasolabial angle. A total of 33 different profile pictures were achieved. Thirty-three professional orthodontists and 64 non-professionals were chosen to score these 33 pictures.
RESULTSWhen the upper lip position was fixed, the profile was considerably attractive because the angle of nasal tip was not changed or altered. When the nasal tip rotation angle was fixed, profiles with a retroclined upper lip were considered significantly attractive by the layperson and professional groups. Regardless of the direction of the nasal tip rotation, the respondents considered the profile with a retroclined upper lip highly attractive.
CONCLUSIONThe soft tissue profile with a retroclined upper lip looks considerably attractive in Chinese female populations. Therefore, during an orthodontic treatment, appropriate retraction of the incisor is recommended to improve soft tissue profile attractiveness.

OBJECTIVEThis study aims to construct a three-dimensional finite element model of a maxillary anterior teeth retraction force system in light wire technique and to investigate the difference of hydrostatic pressure and initial displacement of upper anterior teeth under different torque values of tip back bend.
METHODSA geometric three-dimensional model of the maxillary bone, including all the upper teeth, was achieved via CT scan. To construct the force model system, lingual brackets and wire were constructed by using the Solidworks. Brackets software, and wire were assembled to the teeth. ANASYS was used to calculate the hydrostatic pressure and the initial displacement of maxillary anterior teeth under different tip-back bend moments of 15, 30, 45, 60, and 75 Nmm when the class II elastic force was 0.556 N.
RESULTSHydrostatic pressure was concentrated in the root apices and cervical margin of upper anterior teeth. Distal tipping and relative intrusive displacement were observed. The hydrostatic pressure and initial displacement of upper canine were greater than in the central and lateral incisors. This hydrostatic pressure and initial intrusive displacement increased with an increase in tip-back bend moment.
CONCLUSIONLingual retraction force system of maxillary anterior teeth in light wire technique can be applied safely and controllably. The type and quantity of teeth movement can be controlled by the alteration of tip-back bend moment.

Objective To develop an artificial neural networks tool and use it to identify proteomic patterns in serum so as to distinguish gastric cancer from controls. Methods Serum samples from 84 gastric cancer patients and 75 controls were randomized into training set (106 samples) and test set (53 samples). At first, samples of the training set were detected using SELDI mass spectrometry and CMIO protein chips. Using a multi-layer ANN with a back propagation algorithm, a proteomic pattern that could distinguish cancer from control samples was identified in the training set. The discovered pattern was then used to determine the accuracy of the classification system in the test set. Results Totally 5 differentially expressed proteins between patients and controls were identified. The five proteins (P < 0.05, m/z at 7567,6742,5262,4869, 4256) were chosen to develop ANN based diagnostic model. The model was blindly tested in the test set for diagnosing gastric cancer. The sensitivity and specificity was 90.0% and 91.3% respectively. Conclusions Combination of SELDI with the artificial neural networks can get a high sensitivity and specificity approach to identify the gastric cancer from the controls. The method shows great potential for early diagnosis of gastric cancer and screening of new tumor biomarkers.

Objective To observe the effect of alteplase intra-arterial thrombolysis combined with continuous monitoring of transcranial Doppler (TCD) in patients with acute cerebral infarction. Methods Fifty-four patients with acute cerebral infarction were divided into TCD group and control group by random digits table method. The patients of 2 groups were given alteplase intra-arterial thrombolysis, and the patients of TCD groups were combined with continuous monitoring of TCD. The degree of clinical neurologic impairment was evaluated by National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) and Barthel index (BI). The condition of vascular recanalization was evaluated by the change of blood flow signal of TCD. CT was performed within 1 d after thrombolysis to detect intracranial hemorrhage and other adverse reaction. The degree of clinical neurologic impairment, blood vessel recanalization rate after thrombolysis and recanalization time and incidence of intracranial hemorrhage and other adverse reaction were compared between 2 groups. Results There were no statistical difference in NIHSS score before thrombolysis and 1 h after thrombolysis between 2 groups (P>0.05). The NIHSS scores 7 and 30 d after thrombolysis in TCD group were significantly lower than those in control group:(8.1 ± 4.9) scores vs. (12.1 ± 4.2) scores and (6.9 ± 3.1) scores vs. (10.9 ± 3.9) scores, there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The BI scores 7 and 30 d after thrombolysis in TCD group were significantly higher than those in control group: (78.5 ± 13.8) scores vs. (60.8 ± 12.4) scores and (82.6 ± 13.5) scores vs. (63.2 ± 12.9) scores, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The blood vessel recanalization rate 24 h after thrombolysis in TCD group was significantly higher than that in control group: 70.4% (19/27) vs. 44.4% (12/27), the recanalization time after thrombolysis was significantly shorter than that in control group: (36.4 ± 9.5) min vs. (58.5 ± 12.4) min, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). No adverse reaction like intracranial hemorrhage and so on was found by CT detection within 1 d after thrombolysis in the 2 groups. Conclusions Alteplase intra-arterial thrombolysis combined with continuous monitoring of TCD in acute cerebral infarction has good curative effect, and no obvious adverse reaction.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of traditional Chinese medicine fumigation and herbal plaster for the patients with anal abscess. Methods A total of 140 patients with anal abscess were randomly divided into 2 groups, 70 in each group. The control group were treated with different operation methods according to the patient's health condition. the Potassium Permanganate solution (1:5 000) bath was used after surgery in the conventional anti anti-infection treatment; and the observation group were treated with herbal fumigation and plaster on the basis of the control group. The wound was treated in the both groups in the following 3 months after operation. The wound swelling disappearance, carrion shedding and healing time, pain relief, medical records of infection and recurrence were measured after the treatment and follow-up period. Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 100% (70/70), and the control group was 91.4% (64/70). The difference between the 2 groups was statistically significant (χ2=4.322,P=0.037). After 3, 7 days, the pain relief in the observation group was better than that in the control group (Z=9.742, 16.860,P=0.008, 0.001). After treatment, the observation group swelling (4.9 ± 0.7 dvs. 6.1 ± 0.7 d,t=10.142), carrion shedding time (3.8 ± 0.5 dvs. 4.2 ± 0.4 d,t=5.227), the wound healing time (22.1 ± 4.0 dvs. 26.9 ± 4.0 d,t=7.099) were lower than those in the control group (P<0.01). During follow-up, 4 cases (5.7%) with secondary infection and 2 cases (2.9%) with recurrence were in the observation group, but 20 cases (28.6%) and 6 cases (8.6%) in the control group.There were significantly difference of the secondary infection and recurrence between two groups (χ2= 6.092,8.934,P= 0.034, 0.001). 2 groups of secondary infection, the differences were statistically significant. Conclusions The combination of traditional Chinese medicine fumigation and herbal plaster could improve the wound healing time, reduce the secondary infection and recurrence rates of patients with anal abscess.
