neck, fol owed by the apex. During the overal tooth movement, the stress was smal est on the root, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. Correction of bending roots needs more accurate positioning and traction.

Objective To evaluate imaging features of verruca plana by dermoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM).Methods Totally,88 untreated patients with verruca plana were enrolled into this study.One typical skin lesion was chosen from each patient and subjected to dermoscopy and RCM separately,and imaging features were recorded and analyzed.Results Dermoscopy revealed a light red background in 48 cases (54.55％),a light yellow background in 40 cases (45.45％),and a various number of punctate hemorrhages in 84 cases (95.45％).RCM showed concentric onion-skin-like structures in 48 patients (54.55％).Among 57 patients with disease duration ＞ 1 year,44 (77.19％) had the concentric onion-skin-like pattern,while only 4 (12.90％) patients had similar structures among 31 patients with disease duration ＜ 1 year.A significant difference in the prevalence of concentric onion-skin-like structures was observed between patients with disease duration ＞ 1 year and those with disease duration ＜ 1 year (x2 =33.47,P ＜ 0.05).Of 88 patients,86 (97.73％) had hyperpigmentation in the basal layer at the dermo-epidermal junction,intact dermal papillary rings,vasodilatation,hyperemia and 1-2 dilated capillaries in the dermal papillae.Eight patients were treated for 2 weeks,and the above features disappeared after the treatment under dermoscopy and RCM.Conclusion Based on clinical manifestations,dermoscopy and RCM features may be helpful for the diagnosis of verruca plana.

Objective:To study how to guide the individual dose of clopidogrel in line with the genetic testing results. Methods:Clinical pharmacists decided how to optimize the prescription of clopidogrel according to the genotype combined with the drug metabolism and drug interactions for three patients respectively with slow clopidogrel metabolism,intermediary metabolism and super fast metabolism. Results:The slow clopidogrel metabolism patient with subacute stent thrombosis after half a month of coronary stenting was switched to orally administrate with ticagrelor. The super fast metabolism patient suffered from repeatedly subcutaneous hemorrhage with antiplatelet therapy was suggested to lower the dose of clopidogrel,temporarily withdraw Maixuekang capsules and conventionally administrate with vitamin C tablets orally. The intermediary metabolism patient with late stent thrombosis co-treated with lansoprazole was suggested to increase the dose of clopidogrel or use ticagrelor instead,and when it was necessary,panxitorazole,ray Bella or the other ranitidine acid suppression drugs such as ranitidine could be considered. Conclusion:Through genetic testing and drug interactions,clinical pharmacists guide the clinical use of clopidogrel and the optimization of antiplatelet therapy.

Objective To investigate the effects of rosiglitazone on proangiogenesis function of human umbilical vein endothelial cells ( HUVEC) in high glucose environment. Methods HUVECs were cultured in high glucose environment and stimulated by rosiglitazone. MTT, cell scratch test and Transwell assay were used to detect HUVEC proliferation and migration. The concentration of VEGF, SDF-1 was also detected in the supernatant. Results Rosiglitazone could effectively promote HUVEC proliferation and migration. The concentration of VEGF and SDF-1 in rosiglitazone stimulated supernatant was higher than that in high glucose group. The inhibition of AKT signal could block the promotion of rosiglitazone on the HUVEC proliferation, migration and secretion. Conclusion Rosiglitazone could significantly promote HUVEC secretion, proliferation and migration in high glucose environment. AKT signal played an important role in this process.
