Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has an important function in understanding implant operations. CBCT can be used to evaluate the basic condition of implant site before implant operation and decide whether it is suitable for implanting. CBCT also ensures whether the direction of implant and the operation method are satisfactory. CBCT can be used pre- or post-operation as long as the case involves the maxillary sinus. Clinical implant cases using CBCT were introduced to evaluate the maxillary sinus pre- or post-operation.

Objective To study the clinical features of meniscal cyst of the knee. Methods From January 2001 to December 2007,totally 5986 cases of meniscus operation were performed in our hospital,104 of them were diagnosed as having meniscal cyst in the knee. The clinical data of these patients,including gender and age distributions,causes and mechanism of injury,clinical presentations,characteristics of the cyst,and the type of the injury,were investigated. Results Incidence rate of meniscal cyst was 1.7% (104/5986) and the ratio between medial and lateral meniscal cysts was 1∶12 (8∶96). The mean age of the 104 patients was (30.7?12.2) years (range,13 to 65 years),and the radio of male to female was 1.2 to 1. Of the patients,60 cases (57.7%) had history of trauma,32 or them were hurt in sports,including football (11 cases),basketball (8 cases) and others. The most common primary symptom was pain (102 cases,98.1%),followed by swelling (50 cases,48.1%). Tenderness over the joint line (85 cases,81.7%) and palpable mass (79 cases,76.0%) with or without signs of meniscal tear were common presentations. The anterior and middle portions of the medial meniscus (5/8,62.5%),and posterior extension of the lateral meniscus (88/96,91.7%) were the most commonly involved sites (?2=15.167,P=0.000). The most frequently observed meniscal tear was a horizontal cleavage,alone (25/104,24.0%) or associated with another types of lesions (52/104,50.0%). In 5.8% (6/104) of the cases,the discoid meniscus was involved. Conclusions Meniscus cysts are unusual. The ratio between medial and lateral meniscal cysts favors the lateral meniscus. Meniscal tear and myxoid degeneration are the common causes of the cyst. The most frequently observed meniscal tear is a horizontal cleavage,and the anterior and middle portions of the medial meniscus and posterior extensions of the lateral meniscus are the most commonly involved sites.

Objective To analyze the epidemic characteristics of natural foci of plague in Qinghai province in the past twenty years and to provide references for prevention and control of the disease. Methods Excel software was used to analyze the database of human plague cases and the surveillance and survey data of natural foci of plague in Qinghai province from 1999 to 2009. Results Animal plague occurred in Qaidam Basin, Qinghai Plateau and central and southern Plateau year after year, which became key areas of animal plague in Qinghai province. There were many human plague cases every year except 1999, 2000, 2002, 2007, 2008 from 1990 to 2009. Cumulative incidence of human plague was 27 cases, with incidence of 73 cases, 29 cases of death, and death rate 39.73%. Epidemic areas mainly distributed in the 4 states of Yushu, Hainan, Hercynian, Haibei.Prevalent season was from May to October. The most prevalent was pneumonic type among clinical types [60.27%(44/73)]. Conclusions Animal plague has occurred actively in key areas of Qinghai province in recent years,and an outbreak of human plague in some areas is found. Monitoring and early warning should be strengthened in the key areas, and comprehensive prevention and control measures should be implemented to reduce the incidence and prevalence of the plague.

Based on the kinetics of alcohol metabolism in animal models,the mathematicalmode for studing of the alcohol kinetics in person of the acute alcohol poisoningwas established.This mathematical mode can be expressed as x(t)=x_0(1-e~(-kat))-k_bt,which allows calculating the absorpion constant (k_a) arld breakdown rate constant(k_b) for alcohol the curve in dynamic change of the alcohol concentration followingadministration of a large amount of alcohal can be obtained the amount of alcoholin human body [x,(t)] after drinking can be checked out.from the urine Theexperimental study in monkeys showed that the parameters derived from the mathe-matical mode agued witk the results obtained from the experiments

Objective To study the glycosylated hemoglobin in the level difference between different age,sex and provide a reference for the prevention,early diagnosis and treatment of diabetes.Methods 9 094 cases in clinic of population data were included in this study,according to the different age groups were divided into 30 years old or less group (464 cases),30 ～40 years old group (715 cases),41～50 years old group (1 939 cases),51～60 years old group (1 754 cases),61～ 70 (2 290 cases),71～80 years old group (1 497 cases) and ＞80 years old group (435 cases),7 groups of extraction of venous blood tested glycated hemoglobin and compared,analysis of glycosylated hemoglobin levels between different age groups and different gender differences.Results All subjects crowd glycosylated hemoglobin levels were ≤30 years old group (5.42± 0.841) ％,31 ～40 years old group (5.61 ± + 1.088) ％,41 ～ 50 years old group (5.93 ± 1.264) ％,51 ～ 60 years old group (6.18±1.298) ％,61～ 70 years old group (6.21 ± 1.232) ％,71 ～ 80 years old group (6.29 ± 1.270) ％,＞ 80 years old group (6.35 ± 1.314)％ all were a trend of increase with the increase of age,the difference was statistically significant(F=63.81,P＜0.001).The level of glycosylated hemoglobin was significantly higher in male than in female within 70 years of age,and there was significant difference in HbA1c level between 18～50 years old (P＜0.05).Conclusion There was a correlation between the level of glycosylated hemoglobin with different age,sex and increasing with age.It is suitable for physical examination and screening,and in particular,monitoring of glycosylated hemoglobin levels in middle aged and old age.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the material features and biocompatibility of coronary artery stent and related complications following implantation.METHODS:The databases of CNKI and Medline were searched by the first author using key words of "coronary artery stent,material,biocompatibility and complications" both in English and Chinese.Meta analysis or repetitive studies were excluded,and 16 papers were included in this analysis.RESULTS:Stent materials play an important role in reducing inflammatory reaction and restenosis following stent implantation.As a medical material for humans,the features of stent should be meet the requirements of reliable distensibility,mechanical persistence,good flexibilit and geometrical stability,possible small diameter,excellent blood compatibility,as well as good corrosion resistance.All of these depended on the mechanical and physical features of materials.CONCLUSION:The study of drug-coating stent and drug-eluting stent reduced the restenosis rates following implantation,and the biodegradable stent also attracted more attention.When treating coronary heart disease with cardiovascular stent,the complications should be avoided except consideration of the successful rate of reperfusion.

Protein degradation mediated by ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is involved in many biological processes.SCF complex is a sort of important E3 ubiquitin-ligase enzyme.Fbx4 protein is one of F-box protein family members,an important component of substrate-specific ScF Fbx4/αβ-crystallin ligase,and a subunit of SCF complex.Inactivation of Fbx4 protein or alteration of its expression level will influence activity of SCF Fbx4/αβ-crystallin ligase,thus will influence expression level of Cyclin D1.And Fbx4 protein is also an important regulatory factor for telomere maintenance.
