BACKGROUND:As the rapid development of oral implantation and restoration techniques, as wel as the increasing enlargement of indications, angulated abutments have been widely used. Posterior teeth region, as the weight-loading region of occlusion, can bear great force from the implants, the assessment of angulated abutments in posterior teeth region has clinical value.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the short-term clinical efficacy of angulated abutments on the implant denture in posterior teeth region.
METHODS:From January 2008 to January 2013, 114 patients with 175 ITI implants in the posterior teeth region were included in this study and they al underwent single-crown restoration. The involved patients were divided into angulated abutment group and straight abutment group. Periodontal probing depth, modified plaque index, modified sulcus bleeding index and peri-implant crestal bone loss in two groups were recorded at 6 months and 2 years after restoration. Cumulative survival rate of the implant denture was calculated by life-table analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was no significant difference in periodontal probing depth, modified plaque index, and modified sulcus bleeding index between two groups (P>0.05). The annual crestal bone loss showed no significant difference between two groups (P>0.05). Moreover, the 5-year cumulative survival rate with 15° and 20° abutments was 95.6%, and that with straight abutment was 96.4%. The angle of abutments has no correlation with peri-implant soft tissue and peri-implant crestal bone loss, implant restorations with 15° and 20° angulated abutments may be successful y used in the posterior region, whereas the long-term effects need further research.

Objective To evaluate the alteration of labial bone mass one year after immediate implant or delayed implant placement in esthetic zone.Methods From June 2009 to June 2012,22 patients with 11 immediate implant and 11 delayed implant in the maxillary anterior region were followed up.CBCT images were obtained immediately after surgery and one year after implant placement,the horizontal and vertical alterations of the labial bone were evaluated by image analysis software.Results The 1-year vertical reduction of labial bone after immediate implant placement was statistically significant (P＜0.05),and no significant difference in delayed implant (P＞0.05).The 1-year horizontal reduction of labial bone was statistically significant at coronal and middle of implant,without significant difference at apical of implant.Conclusions Immediate implant can not stop the physical absorption of labial alveolar ridge,and the study can provide reference to achieve esthetics in the anterior region.

Objective To study the effect of injectable osteoinductive materials with fibrin sealant as the vehicle on the reconstruction of segmental radius defect in dog, and to provide an experimental foundation for its clinical application in the future. Methods 20mm bone defects were created in the radius 18 dogs, and in the experiment group b [FS+bFGF+bBMP (bovine BMP)] composite, and in experiment group r (FS+bFGF+rhBMP-2) were injected percutaneously into the defects. A control group (FS) with bone defect only was also included. The reconstruction effect on the segmental dog radius defects was evaluated by radiography, histology, bone mineral density (BMD) at 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 weeks after operation. Results In the experimental groups with bovine BMP as osteoinductive agent, higher repairing capability and osteogenesis rate were observed in experiment group b (FS+bFGF+bBMP) compared with that of control group (P

Objective To investigate the effect of the injectable osteoinductive material with fibrin glue(FG)as carrier compounded with rhBMP-2 and bFGF on the proliferation and differentiation of marrow matrix cells(MMCs)of rabbit,in order to lay an experimental foundation for clinical application in the future.Method MMCs were isolated and cultured from bone marrow of a 3-day-old rabbit.The effects of the material were investigated in experiment group(group A:FG+bFGF+rhBMP-2),with control groups consisting of control group 1(group B:FG),control group 2(group C:FG+bFGF),control group 3(group D:FG+rhBMP-2)and single control group(group E:free of material).The observation objects included proliferation rate,adhesive rates,expression of type I collagen and alkaline phosphatase,cell growth condition in the material and the ultrastructure of rabbit MMCs with the aid of electron microscopy,histochemistry and cell culturing.The concentration of rhBMP-2 and bFGF in all groups was uniform(1?g/ml).Results The proliferation rates and the adhesive rates of rabbit MMCs in group A was significantly higher than that in group B,group D and group E,but was lower than in group C(P

Objective To investigate the risk factors affecting early mortality in spontaneous rupture in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)and explore the effective treatment.Methed A retrospective study of 34 consecutive patients with spontaneous rupture of HCC from January 1998 to January 2008 was conducted.Followup was conducted for more than 3 years.18 clinical ,biochemical and pathological factors influencing 30-day mortality were analyzed.Results 30-day mortality rate was 38% (n=13).Univariate analysis showed that presence of cirrhosis,Child's C status,shock on admission,higher blood transfusion requirement,raised α-fetoprotein (AFP),raised alkaline phosphatase(ALP)and raised aspartate transaminase(AST)were all associated with increased risk early death (P＜0.05).Multivariate analysis displayed that shock was an independent risk factor affecting early death.The median survival time was 14.4 months in 8 patiens receiving emergency curative rescection and 44.4 months in 5 cases underwent delayed curative resection,and the 1-and 3-year survival rate were 63% (5/8)and 13% (1/8)in the former group and 80% (4/5)and 60% (3/5)in the latter group.Conclusion Poor prognosis of spontaneous rupture of HCC is associated with poor liver reservation,advanced disease and large volume of haemorrhage.Shock and blood transfusion requirement are the independent factors affecting early mortality.Curative resection is a definite treatment and delayed curative resection following initial haemostasis has a safer and more effective result.

Objective To study the relationship between tumor angiogenesis and expression of ras p21 protein as well as the prognosis in serous ovarian neoplasms.Methods Microvessel density (MCD) and expression of ras p21 protein in issues of 10 adenomas and 50 serous ovarian cancers were observed by immunohistochemical staining methods with monoclonal antibody CD 34 to mark vascular endotheliocytes.Results Microvessel density in specimens from over expression of ras p21 protein and from grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ was significantly higher than that in specimens from low expression or negative expression of ras p21 protein as well as from grade I (P

Objective To investigate the variation of the chromosomal karyotype of patients with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia(CPT) and its relation with the neurofibromatosis. Methods Ten patients with complete follow up records in 28 cases of CPT treated between 1982 and 1999 were included in this study. There were 7 males and 3 females. The age of the patients at the surgery ranged 4 to 17 years. Seven patients had skin caf?-au-lait spots. Peripheral venous blood (1-2 ml) of 10 patients was cultured in 1640 culture medium with 10%(v/v) fetal calf serum and phytahematoagglutinin(PHA) for 70-72 hours, and then colchicines was added (10 ?g/ml) in culture medium 4 hours before finishing the culture. The specimens were harvested and the chromosomal karyotype was analysed. Results The karyotype of the chromosomes were normal(46XY or 46XX) in all of the speciments, there were no chromosome aberration, chromosome loss and polyploid. Conclusion Neurofibromatosis has no relation with CPT, the genic location of the CPT may have some relation with the neurofibromatosis.

Objective To investigate the effects of different positions of the patients mechanically ventilated under general anesthesia on respiratory mechanics during one or both lung ventilation before thoracotomy.Methods Twelve ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes (8 males, 4 females) aged 33-63 years weighing 62-85 kg scheduled for general thoracic surgery were studied. The preoperative lung function of the patients was normal. The patients were premedicated with intramuscular pethidine, promethazine and atropine. Anesthesia was induced with fentanyl, droperidol, midazolam, propofol and vecuronium. Left-sided double-lumen tube was inserted and correct placement was confirmed using a fiberoptic bronchoscope inserted through the bronchial lumen. Anesthesia was maintained with propofol and vecuronium infusion. The magnitude of neuro-muscular blockade was monitored by stimulation of radial nerve with TOF pulses. T4/T1 was maintained at 0 during study. The patients were placed in supine, left and right lateral position. In each position both lungs, left and right lung were ventilated for 10 min respectively. The non-ventilated bronchial lumen was open to the air during one-lung ventilation. The ventilatory parameters were kept unchanged during the study (VT = 8-10 ml?kg-1 , RR = 12 bpm, I:E = 1:2). Pressure-volume loop (P-V loop), peak airway pressure (Ppeak), airway resistance (Raw), total compliance (CT) (lung and thorax) and PETCO2 were measured and recorded at the end of each 10 min ventilation using S/5 monitor ( Datex-Ohmeda Finland) . Results During both lung ventilation Ppeak was significantly increased and CT was significantly decreased in left and right lateral position as compared with supine position ( P
