Objective:To analyze the prognosis of replanted permanent teeth in children and associated factors. To determine the onset time of root resorption and related factors. Methods: Clinical data of replanted teeth treated in Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Peking University, School and Hospital of Stomatology, from January 2000 to December 2006,were collected, and the follow-up period was no less than six months. The Fisher's exact test and cox regression were used for statistical analysis. Results: The study comprised of 39 patients with 50 replanted permanent teeth. The periodontium healing rate was 18%, while root resorption rate was 82%. Replacement resorption was the most common type of root resorption (64%).The factors significantly affecting periodontium healing were stage of root development and storage of avulsed teeth.Stage of root development and the time of endodontic treatment significantly affected the onset time of root resorption(P<0.05). Conclusion: Replacement resorption is the most common type of root resorption. The factors significantly affecting periodontium healing are stage of root development and storage of avulsed teeth. Stage of root development and the time of endodontic treatment significantly affect the onset time of root resorption.

The preparation method, serum stability, efficiency of cellular uptake and apoptosis induction of the cell penetrating peptide TAT and cleavable PEG co-modified liposomes loaded with paclitaxel (C-TAT-Lipo) were investigated. The best preparation procedure was performed by orthogonal test based on single factor screening method. First, the paclitaxel (PTX)-loaded liposomes were prepared by filming-rehydration method, evaluated with entrapment efficiency and polydispersity index. The morphology of C-TAT-Lipo was characterized by transmission electron microscopy. Turbidity variations were monitored in the presence of fetal bovine serum (FBS) to evaluate the serum stability of the liposomes developed here. Next, the efficiency of cellular uptake of different Rho-PE-labeled liposomes on B16F1 cells in vitro was evaluated by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and flow cytometry. The quantitative analysis of apoptosis induced by different PTX-loaded liposomes was performed by Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining. The optimal formulation was as follows: Chol : lipid: 1 : 8 (molar ratio); drug : lipid: 1 : 40 (mass ratio); lipid concentration: 3 mmol x L(-1); temperature of hydration: 25 degrees C. The mean size and polydispersity index of C-TAT-Lipo were about (97.97 +/- 3.68) nm and 0.196 +/- 0.037, the zeta potential was (-0.89 +/- 0.45) mV, the entrapment efficiency of paclitaxel was (90.16 +/- 1.53)%. The particle sizes did not exhibit significant variations in 50% FBS over 24 h at 37 degrees C. The efficiency of cellular uptake of the C-TAT-Lipo increased 1.40 fold following the cleavage of PEG. Apoptosis analysis showed 59.3% increase of the apoptosis and necrosis profile of C-TAT-Lipo after the detachment of PEG shells, which was markedly higher than that of N-TAT-LP with or without glutathione and SL, respectively. The results indicate that the C-TAT-Lipo is successfully prepared by filming-rehydration method and shows significant antitumor activities.

Objective To explore the effectiveness of the home-community-hospital network management (HCHNM) on the prevention and treatment of stroke.Methods From June to December 2011,HCHNM was implenented in Qingdao of Shandong Province to prevent and treat stroke patients.According to community residents healthcare records,A total of 80 stroke patients were randomly selected from Badahu and Fushanhou communities (study group) and another 80 patients from Zhongshan Road and Liaoning Road communities (control group).A household questionnaire survey was then conducted among these participants.Chi-square test and t test were used for data analysis.Results The overall effective rate of the study group was 86.25％ (69/80),which was significantly higher than that of the control group (67.5％) (x2=221.807,P＜0.05).The study group also showed largely improved quality of life (total score:t=4.593;physical fitness,family activities,movement,mood,self-care ability,social activities,upper limb function and work ability scores:t values were 7.775,2.244,5.329,3.832,5.463,2.979,5.924 and 3.555,respectively; all P＜0.05),although language,character,thinking and vision abilities had no statistically significant difference from the control group (t values were 0.561,1.466,0.831 and 1.000,respectively; all P＞0.05).The scores of daily activities and life satisfaction of the study group were higher than those of the control group,while per capita medical cost was much lower (t values were 12.998,20.760 and-29.777,respectively; all P＜0.05).Conclusions As an effective,safe and economy therapy model,HCHNM could improve rehabilitation,self-care ability,quality of life,and life satisfaction of community stroke patients.In addition,it greatly mitigates medical burden.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the reasons,occurrence mechanisms,as well as prevention methods for complications following cerebrovascular stent implantation.METHODS:A computer-based online search was performed by the first author.The databases of Medline and CNKI were searched with year's limitation of 1989-2009.According to the inclusive and exclusive criteria,the documents were screened,collected and evaluated from the following aspects:treating progress of cerebrovascular stent implantation;category and biocompatibility of cerebrovascular stent;as well as occurrence and prevention methods for complication following cerebrovascular stent implantation.RESULTS:A series of complications,such as carotid sinus response,hyper-perfusion syndrome,cerebral anglo spasm,bleeding at puncture locus,thrombosis,restenosis,as well as cerebral ischemia,would occur following cerebrovascular stent implantation.The complications were difficult to eliminate,but should be avoided by selecting correct implanting cases,elevating operator's proficiency,enhancing understanding of complications,obeying perioperative management,as well as correctly and in-time treatment.Polymer stent,coating stent,and drug eluting stent presented superior biocompatibility to metal stent,which could prevent restenosis following implantation.CONCLUSION:Cerebrovascular stent implantation is one of the main treatments for cerebrovascular disease.Polymer stent,coating stent,and drug eluting stent exhibit excellent biocompatibility.The complications associate to stent implantation are preventable and remediable via sufficient preoperatively preparation,exactly operation and perioperative management.

Aim To observe the changes of diaphragm contractility and cytoskeletal proteins titin,nebulin and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca~(2+)-ATPase gene expressions in adriamycin-induced cytotoxicity in rats.Methods The animal models of diaphragm damage were duplicated by injecting adriamycin into abdominal cavity one time.Forty male sprague-dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups(n=10):Three groups received adriamycin in low,middle and high dosage(10,20 and 40 mg·kg~(-1))respectively.Meanwhile,the normal saline was given to rats in control groups.Three days later,these rats were killed,and the diaphragm was removed by thoracotomy.The diaphragm contractility was assessed in isolated diaphragm strips perfusion by these paramemters including peak twitch tension(Pt),maximum tetanic tension(Po),time to peak contraction(CT),half relaxaion time(1/2RT),maximal rates of contraction(+dt/dt_(max))and maximal rates of relaxation(-dt/dt_(max)).The expressions of titin,nebulin and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca~(2+)-ATPase(SERCA)at mRNA level were detected by RT-PCR analysis.Results In contrast to those in control group,Po,Pt,±dt/dt_(max) in the adriamycin group were lower(P<0.01);CT,1/2RT in the adriamycin group increased significantly(P<0.01).The levels of titin,nebulin and SERCA gene expressions in middle-dose group were lower than those in control group(P<0.01).Conclusions The mRNA levels of titin,nebulin and SERCA of diaphragm are down-regulated in adriamycin-induced cytotoxicity in rats.It may be associated with the decline of diaphragm contractility.

Objective To explore the safety and efficacy of small margin in nephron sparing surgery for early localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Methods A total of 325 cases of RCC with normal contralateral kidney and staged as Tla were retrospectivly studied.According to the margin size,125 cases were with surgical margin ≤ 5 mm (group ≤ 5 mm),102 cases with margin 6-9 mm (group 6-9 mm) and 98 cases with margin ＞ 10 mm (group ＞ 10 mm).The margin size and status was pathologically evaluated and clinical results including local recurrence,distant metastasis and overall survival rate were followed up and comparatively analyzed. Results None of the patients had positive surgical margins.The mean and median margin sizes were 2.2 and 2.0 mm for group ≤ 5 mm,6.7 and 6.0 mm for group 6-9 mm and 11.8 and 12.0 mm for group ＞ 10 mm.The difference was statistically significant (P=0.025).The mean and median follow-up time for all the patients were 79 and 83 months (range 15-132 months),with 69 and 73 months (range,15-130 months) for group ≤ 5 mm,83 and 86 (range,17-132 months) for group 6-9mm and 82 and 82 (range 60-103 months) for group ＞ 10 mm.Three patients in group ≤ 5 mm,5 in group 6-9 mm and 2 in group ＞ 10 mm died of no-cancer related disease during follow-up.One patient in group ≤ 5 mm (0.74％) experienced ectopic recurrence in the same kidney and one in group 6-9 mm was detected local recurrence in situ (0.98％).No distant metastasis was detected in all the patients.The overall 5-year survival rate for patients in groups ≤ 5mm,6-9 mm and ＞ 10 mm were 99.2％,99.0％ and 98.0％,respectively.(Kaplan-Meier survival analysis,Log Rank,x2 =1.511,P=0.470). Conclusions Small margin in nephron sparing surgery is safe and effective in treating RCC with stage T1a,which provides excellent renal function preservation,favorable long-term progression-free survival rate,and is not associated with an increased risk of local recurrence.

In order to explore the effects of Panax notoginoside (PNS) on the expression of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and Smad-7 in renal tissues of diabetes, a rat model of diabetic nephropathy was set up by intravenous injection of streptozotocin (STZ). Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal group, diabetic control group, group treated by PNS at low-dosage (PL), group treated by PNS at high-dosage (PH) and group treated by catopril (C), respectively. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), renal index, endogenous creatinine clearance rate (C(Cr)) and urinary albumin (UAlb) in 24 h were examined after 6 weeks. Meanwhile, the expressions of TGF-β1 and Smad7 in renal tissues were immunohistochemically dectected. At the end of the sixth week, FBG, renal index, C(cr), UAlb were all elevated significantly in control group (P<0.01). The expression of TGF-β1 protein was increased while Smad7 protein decreased in renal tissue (P<0.01). However, the treatment with PNS reversed the aforementioned changes in renal tissues of diabetic rats. These results indicate that PNS possess a protective effect on the kidney of diabetic rats and it might protect kidney by inhibiting the expression of TGF-β1 protein and enhancing the expression of Smad7 protein.

Background Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is one of nuclear transcription factors.It plays potential anti-inflammation,anti-fibrogenesis,anti-angiogenesis and neuroprotection roles in human.So the study of its physiological and pathological function in human and animals is still a focus.To understand the distribution of PPARγ in ocular tissues is important for the target treatment of eye diseases.Objective Current study was to investigate the expression of PPARγ in different parts of eye in rodent.Methods Cornea,lens,ciliary,retina and optical nerve were isolated from 6 SPF C57BL/6J mice and 1 SD rat.Western blot assay was used to detect the expressions of PPARγprotein in cornea,lens and retina.Immunohistochemistry was used to locate the distribution of PPARγ protein in cornea,lens,ciliary,retina and optical nerve.Also,the co-expression of PPARγ with glutamine synthetase (GS) (a Müller cell specific marker) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)(an astrocyte specific marker) in retina and optic nerve was detected by immunofluorescent double staining.Results Western blot assay showed that PPARγ was expressed in the cornea,lens and retina of the mice.Immunohistochemistry revealed that PPARγ mainly located at corneal epithelium with the strongest staining in the basal cells,but only weak staining was seen in corneal endothelial cells and stroma cells.PPARγ was strongly expressed in epithelial cells and shallow cortex layer of mouse lens.In mouse retina,PPARγ was extensively and richly expressed in retinal ganglion cell layer,inner and outer plexiform layers and inner nuclear layer.In addition,PPARγ was also expressed in the non-pigmented epithelial cells in ciliary body.The co-locations of PPARγexpression with GS in retinal tissue and PPARγ expression with GFAP in optical nerve tissue were found in the mice.Conclusions PPARγis proved to distribute extensively in different ocular tissues.These results offer basis for the target treatment of relevant eye diseases.
