Objective To analyze the clinical effect of both micro-implant anchorage and selective extracting maxillary first molar to correct the failure of orthodontics.Methods From January 2006 to June 2012,24 cases who suffered from failure of orthodontics were treated in this department.To all patients,bilateral maxillary first molars were extracted,and micro-implant anchorage were planted into maxilla from buccal alveolar ridge to correct malocclusion acting as anchorages.Lateral cephalometric radiographs,intraoral photograph and facial photograph of every patient were taken before and after treatments; Their over bite and overjet molar relationship and incisors retraction were compared before and after treatments.Methods All the micro implant anchorages were sucessfuly implanted except two patients who experienced second operation owing to luxation of three implants.All the molars were strengthed and the profile improved along with their normal over bite and overjet.Conclusions The treatment of using micro-implant anchorage and selective extracting maxillary first molar is an ideal option of second orthodontics.Unconventional tooth extraction is used in this treatment.Micro implant anchorages are stable,acceptable and effective in clinical application.

Objective To analyze the differential expressions of miR-146a,miR-206,miR-223 and let-7c-1,such as cell differentiation-related miRNAs,in CXCR4-positive and CXCR4-negative subsets of the Lewis lung cancer cell lines(LLC).Methods CXCR4-positive and CXCR4-negative subsets were isolated from LLC by immunomagnetic beads sorting,and then their total cellular RNA were extracted by Trizol,expression of 4 miRNAs were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(TaqMan probe),and potential target genes of miRNA whose differential expression was the most significant were predicted.Immunohistochemistry was carried out to confirm differential expression of the key molecule of certain research value within CXCR4-positive and CXCR4-negative subsets growing tumor tissue,and a BLAST search was performed to identify homologies of its 3′UTR.Results Compared to CXCR4-negative subsets,the expression of 4 miRNAs were lower in CXCR4-positive subsets,and expression of miR-223 had the most significant difference(Fold change=8.26).By softwares forecasting,miR-223 had potential target sites of IGF1R,IGFBP5,Pik3cb,ELK-1 and E2F1 mRNA,such as key molecular of IGF1R signaling pathway.The expression of IGF1R of CXCR4-positive subsets growing tumor tissue was significantly higher than that of CXCR4-negative subsets.Conclusion miR-223 is lowly expressed in CXCR4 positive cells from Lewis lung carcinoma cell lines.Position 238～244 nt and 688～695 nt in target sequences of 3′UTR of IGF1R mRNA was highly homologous by screening.Close correlation is found between miR-223 and IGF1R signaling pathway.The mechanisms underlying this biologically important finding need to be further explored.

0.05).Tumor formation was found in subgroups of positive CXCR4 cells(7 ? 103 ).Negative and positive CXCR cells were inoculated into 3 mice respectively at the concentration of 5 ? 105 and 2 ? 104 cells.No metastasis occurred in the former group.However,lung metastasis was found in 2 mice and ear metastasis was observed in 1mouse of the latter group.Conclusion Subgroups of positive CXCR4 cells in LLC are characterized by certain properties of cancer metastatic stem cells and have the ability to renew themselves and metabolize.

ObjectiveTo compare the therapeutic effect, adverse effects and safety of leflunomide (LEF)and cyclophosphamide(CTX) on lupus nephritis(LN). Methods43 patients with reactive LN were randomly divided into two groups. Based on hormone application,22 cases in LEF group were given LEF orally and 21 cases in CTX group were given CTX intravenous drip discontinuously. They were followed up for six months. The related indexes and possible concomitant adverse effects were detected. ResultsThe total effective rate in LEF group was 81.8％ and that in CTX group was 85.7％. The tolerance in LEF group was better and 3 cases had adverse effects. 13 cases in CTX group had adverse effects. ConclusionLEF had the same efficacy as CTX in the LN therapy, but the tolerance is better and the side effects are minor than CTX.

Objective To validate the value of Simplified Renal Index Score(SRI) in predicting acute renal injury requiring renal replacement therapy(RRT-AKI) after cardiac valve surgery in Chinese adult patients.Methods An analysis was conducted for all the adult patients who underwent cardiac valve surgery from January 2010 to December 2014 in Changhai Hospital,Shanghai.A total of 3 183 adult patients were included.Based on SRI Score,the patients were divided into 3 risk stages:0 to 1 point,2 to 3 point,and 4 to 8 point.The incidence of RRT-AKI was compared between different stages.And the prediction value of the SRI model was assessed by area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AU-ROC) and the model calibration was assessed with the Hosmer-Lemeshow (H-L) test.Results After surgery 52 (1.6％) patients developed acute kidney impairment and subsequently underwent renal replacement therapy.Patients with low values of simplified renal index (0-1),medium(2-3) and high values (4 and more) were found to have increasingly higher risk for renal replacement therapy of 0.8％ (95％ CI:0.005-0.012) 、3.8％ (95％ CI:0.026-0.052) 、20％ (95％ CI:0.010-0.720),respectively.TheAU-ROCwas0.68(95％ CI:0.610-0.760,P＜0.01).The H-L test was x2 =2.45,P=0.29.Conclusion SRI model gives a certain clinical significance,suggesting that high-values patients may occur RRT-AKI with a significantly higher risk than low-values patients.However,SRI model cannot give an accurate prediction value for RRT-AKI in Chinese adult patients after cardiac valve surgery.Direct clinical use of the model should be considered cautiously.

Objective To validate the value of Cleveland Clinical Score in predicting acute renal injury requiring renal replacement therapy(RRT-AKI) after cardiac valve surgery in Chinese adult patients.Methods An analysis was conducted for all the adult patients who underwent cardiac valve surgery from January 2010 to December 2014 in Changhai Hospital,Shanghai.A total of 3 230 adult patients were included.Based on Cleveland Clinical Score,the patients were divided into 3 risk stages:0 to 2 point,3 to 5 point,and 6 to 8 point.The incidence of RRT-AKI were compared between different stages.And the predictive value of the Cleveland Clinical Score model was assessed by area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC-ROC) and the model calibration was assessed using the Hosmer-Lemeshow test.The patients were also divided into two groups:Non-RRT group and RRT-AKI group.The mortality were compared between these two groups.Results The incidence of RRT-AKI was 1.67％ vs the predicted ratio of RRT-AKI 1.70％ (x2 =0.018,P =0.892).Among the stage 1,2,and 3,the actual incidence of RRT-AKI,was 1.23％,2.66％,and 16.7％ vs the predicted incidence 0.40％,1.80％,and 9.50％,respectively.The AUC-ROC for Cleveland Clinical Score predicting RRT-AKI was 0.64 [95 ％ CI(0.57,0.71),P ＜0.01].Compared with Non-RRT group,the RRT-AKI group got a higher mortality(87.00％ vs 1.50％,x2 =1 330,P ＜0.01).Conclusion The Cleveland Clinical score had no real predictive value for RRT-AKI in Chinese adult patients after cardiac valve surgery.The incidence of RRT-AKI of the whole population and the stage 3 patients could be predicted by the model.And the patients with a high Cleveland score got a higher mortality than that of patients with a low Cleveland score.

AIM: To facilitate the suicide gene delivery into neoplasm, a chimeric gene of HSV-tk and green fluorescent protein (gfp) was constructed. METHODS: Molecular cloning technique was used to construct this kind of eukaryotic vector. The internal ribosome entry site (IRES) of encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), which could coordinate expression of two genes in a single vector, was optioned. By using liposome-mediated transfection, eukaryotic expression vector tgCMV/hytk-IRES-gfp was transfected into human bladder carcinoma cells EJ. RESULTS: A bicistronic eukaryotic vector carrying gfp and hygromycin phosphotransferase-thymidine kinase fusion (hytk) gene was constructed. The results of PCR and microscopy detection show that the hytk-IRES-gfp gene was successfully transferred into EJ cells. There were no differences in the growth pattern or the morphology between EJ and EJ/hytk-GFP cells. In vitro experiments demonstrated dose- and time-dependent cell killing by transduction of the hytk-IRES-gfp gene followed by GCV treatment. The IC50 (the concentration required to elicit 50% growth inhibition) was 2.16 mg/L in treatment with GCV for 72 hours. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that this new kind of eukaryotic vector could serves as a new tool and method for neoplasm gene therapy.
