Objective:To presents a new way of constructing post crowns for the anterior maxillary teeth which had the subginginval crown fracture more than 3 mm.To discusse the difficulties in the restoration of the subgingival residual roots and residual crowns of anterior maxillary teeth,and to explore the principles of the new restoration by the casting post-core and the porcelain fused mental crowns with wings. Methods: 23 patients(26 teeth) which had crown fracture more than 3 mm under the gingival were enrolled in this study.After those residual roots and crowns were endodontically treated following the conventional root canal therapy,the casting post-core and the porcelain fused mental crowns with wings were applied to reconstructing those missing crowns. Results: After 3 months to 5 years clinic observation,restored crowns were still stable with good retention and fracture resistance. Conclusion: Those residual roots and crowns can be preserved by this innovative way and can also acquire satisfactory effects in esthetics and functions.

Nucleoside and nucleotide analogs (NAs) have been successfully used for treatment of chronic hepatitis B. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication is now recognized as the key driver of liver injury and disease progression, so the primary aim of treatment for chronic HBV infection is to maximize sustained suppression of HBV replication to undetectable levels. The long-term treatment has also been shown to achieve substantial histological improvement and regression of liver fibrosis or cirrhosis, and reduction of hepatocellular carcinoma. This paper has reviewed the necessity, clinical benefits, and the management of long-term treatment for chronic hepatitis B.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of occlusal rehabilitation in old patients with decreased vertical dimensions caused by serious attrition.Methods:Sixty-five patients with decreased vertical dimension caused by serious attrition were divided into 3 groups according to the defect of dentition and/or TMD.Group A included 42 patients with serious attrition and defection of dentition.Group B had 15 patients with heavy tooth wear,defection of dentition and TMD.Group C included 8 patients with serious attrition and functional TMD.All patients were conducted occlusal rehabilitation at increased vertical dimensions in normal intercuspital position(ICP) by removable denture with occlusal pad and removable occlusal splints.The time of follow-up visit of these patients ranged from 1.5 months to 9 years. Results:The masticatory efficacy of the patients was obviously improved,and all the symptoms of TMD were relieved.Furthermore,the symptoms of TMD were not observed after the treatment in patients without TMD.Conclusion:The results achieved by removable occlusal rehabilitation to aged people with serious attrition and decreased vertical dimension are satisfactory,and suggest that the occlusal rehabilitation is necessary for them.Furthermore,the removable occlusal rehabilitation can be acted as a reference and transition to permanent fixed occlusal rehabilitation.

Objective To investigate the distribution of acquired resistance-related genes and markers of mobile genetic elements, and their relationships in multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli. Methods From October 2008 to March 2009, 28 strains of multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli isolated from urine were collected from the Ningbo First Hospital. Then, 47 kinds of acquired resistance genes to beta-lactams, aminoglycosides, quinolones, 2 kinds of acquired drug efflux gene and 13 kinds of genetic markers of mobile genetic elements: conjugal plasmids, transposons, insertion sequences, and integrons were analyzed by PCR. The index cluster analysis was used to investigate their relationships. Results In 28 strains of Escherichia coli, 7 kinds of acquired beta-lactam-resistance genes, 8 kinds of acquired aminoglycosideresistance genes, 1 kind of acquired drug efflux gene, 2 kinds of genetic markers of conjugal plasmids, 3 kinds of genetic markers of transposon and insertion sequences, 1 kind of genetic marker of integron were detected; but other 46 kinds of genes were not detected. Two clusters, A and B, were divided by index cluster analysis depending on positive genes. Conclusions In this group of Escherichia coli, acquired resistance related genes may be associated with resistant phenotypes of antimicrobial agents. Horizontal transfer of mobile genetic elements may bring rapid spread of resistance of bacterial pathogens, not only among the same kind of pathogens, but also among the different kinds. In addition, index cluster analysis suggests that correlation might exist between acquired resistance-related genes and mobile genetic elements.

Objective To investigate the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1(TREM-1) of cord blood leukocytes in neonates and the transcription level of mRNA, and analyze its promoting function of inflammatory cytokine secretion. Methods During the period from September 2013 to March 2014, cord blood was collected from 20 term neonates at the time of birth, and peripheral blood was collected from 20 healthy adults. The expression of TREM-1 and TREM-1 mRNA on leukocytes was observed using flow cytometry and real-time reverse transeription-polymerase chain reaction, respectively. After the whole cord blood was stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or LP17 plus LPS, the contents of interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-8 and soluble TREM-1 (sTREM-1) in the supernatant were analyzed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The statistical significance was determined using the one-way ANOVA test, t test, q test and Pearson correlation coefficient. Results The mean fluorescence intensity of TREM-1 on leukocytes of newborns was not different compared with healthy adults (P>0.05), while the percentage of TREM-1 positive on polymorphonuclear cells was lower than that of healthy adults [(82.3±7.1)% vs (98.6±4.8)%, P<0.05]. The level of TREM-1 mRNA in newborns was lower than in healthy adults (1.16±0.13 vs 1.63±0.24, t=7.714, P<0.01). The LPS treatment significantly increased sTREM-1 in newborn whole blood compared with the control treatment [(156.7±36.3) vs (34.6±6.1) pg/ml, t=13.623, P<0.01]. The concentration of IL-6, TNF-αand IL-8 decreased significantly when TREM-1 was blocked by LP17. In addition, the concentration of sTREM-1 showed a positive correlation with the levels of TNF-α(r=0.519, P<0.05), IL-6 (r=0.507, P<0.05) and IL-8 (r=0.538, P<0.05). Conclusions Healthy newborns exhibit expression of TREM-1 on monocytes similar to healthy adults, and most PMNs express TREM-1 at the newborn stage. Blocking the TREM-1 signal transduction pathway may reduce inflammatory responses of neonate leukocytes.

Objective To evaluate effects of trichostain A (TSA) on cell proliferation, cell cycles, apoptosis and invasiveness of multiple myeloma cell line U266; as well as active changes of methylation regulating proteins including DNA methyl-transferase(DNMTs), methyl-binding domain (MBD) proteins: MBD2 and MeCP2 after treated with TSA. Methods U266 cells were treated with different concentrations of TSA for 12, 24, 48 and 60 h. The proliferation activity of U266 cells was detected by MTT and the IC50 of 24 h was calculated. After U266 cells were treated with IC50, cell cycles were check out by dying with PI. mRNA of matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2), bc1-2, bcl-xl and methylation regulating proteins (DNMTs, MBD2 and MeCP2) were detected by real-time PCR. FCM and Western blotting were used to measure expressions of MMP-2 and MBD2. Results MTT results revealed TSA inhibited proliferation of U266 cells in a dose-and time-dependent manner and the IC50 of 24 h was 0.07 μmol/L FCM analysis showed that TSA could arrest the cell cycle in G0/G1 and the proliferation index (PI) in U266 cells [(49.90 0.39)%]were significantly different after exposed to TSA (0.7 μmnol/L for 24h compared with that in the control cells[(55.78 0.49)%](P <0.01). After treated by TSA, the 2-△△Ct of MMP-2, bcl-2 and bcl-xl were 0.71 0.06, 5.04 0.92 and 2.95 0.35, respectively. There were great changes on mRNA of DNMT, MBD2 and MeCP2. TSA could reverse the transcription of DNMT, MBD2 and MeCP2. Conclusion TSA can arrest the U266 cell cycle in GVG, to prevent its proliferation and promote apoptosis, which maybe greatly connect with the changes of the methylation regulating proteins.

Objective To investigate changes in plasma levels of D-dimer in patients with prostate hyperplasia(BPH)complicat-ed with acute urinary retention(AUR),and to explore its clinical significance.Methods 102 cases of patients with prostate hyper-plasia complicated with acute urinary retention,treated in this hospital from July 2013 to December 2014,were selected and divided into the simple BPH group(56 cases)and BPH complicated with AUR(BPH+AUR)group.The plasma levels of D-dimer of these patients were detected and comparatively analysed.Results Compared with the simple BPH group,the plasma levels of D-dimer of patients in the BPH+AUR group was increased,had statistically significant difference.(P <0.01).Conclusion The plasma levels of D-dimer in patients with BPH complicated with AUR increase significantly,which indicates that patients are with secondary in-creased fibrinolytic activity.Measures should be taken to relieve urinary retention as soon as possible,so as to protect the vascular endothelial function of patients and reduce the incidence of complications.

Objective To study the preventive effect and mechanism of aesculin on intestinal mucosa in rats with experimental ulcerative colitis (UC) . Methods Forty specific-pathogen free SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, salicylazosulfapyridine (SASP, 600 mg/kg) group and aesculin (EH, 100 mg/kg) group, 10 in each group. Rats in model group, SASP group and EH group were given enema with trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid ( TNBS, 100 mg/kg) for the establishment of UC model. The rats in SASP group and EH group were given gastric gavage of SASP and aesculin respectively. At the end of experiment, the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha ( TNF-α) and interleukin 10 ( IL-10) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) . The general state, histological features of intestinal mucosa and serum TNF-αand IL-10 levels of rats in each group were compared. Results Aesculin significantly improved the general state and relieved the inflammation of the colonic mucosa of UC rats. The disease activity index ( DAI) scores and tissue damage index (TDI) scores in the model group were significantly higher than those in the normal group ( P<0.01) . The DAI scores and TDI scores in the medication groups were significantly lower than those in the model group (P<0.01) . The serum TNF-αlevel was significantly higher and IL-10 level was significantly lower in the model group than the normal group ( P<0.01) . After treatment, TNF-α was decreased and IL-10 was increased in SASP group and EH group as compared with the model group (P<0.01) . Conclusion Aesculin has certain therapeutic effect on TNBS-induced UC in rats through significantly relieving the symptoms of UC rats. The mechanism may be related with the inhibition of TNF-α secretion and the increase of IL-10 expression, and then improving the disorder of intestinal immune function.
