The risk factor of dental fluorosis are mainly related to the cancen tration of fluoride in the drinking water,the supplements of fluoride,nutrition states and regime,the time of fluoride exposure.Other factor such as the period of mother's milk feeding,the altitude of resident,the environmental pollution,the education degree of parents,and the level of health service of the community are also contributed to the development of dental fluorosis.Besides,the knowledge of dentists,the health habits of individual,the condition of economic,and so on is somehow the risk factor of dental fluorosis.The chances of fluoride exposure will become more often as the prosperous of the society.Thus any health policy of the complement of fluoride should be adapted to local conditions.

ObjectiveTo investigate the test-retest reliability and inter-rater reliability of ASIA2000 scale.MethodsTwenty-five hospitalized spinal cord injury volunteers were chosen according to the selective criteria. The items were retested by the same examiner one week later to determine the scale's test-retest reliability. Another doctor did the same work 24 h later to determine the scale's inter-rater reliability.ResultsThe Pearson correlation coefficients of the pin prick score, light touch score and motor score of the test-retest reliability were all above 0.90 (P<0.05), and the Kappa values of the ASIS impairment scale (AIS) and completeness of the injury were 0.787 and 0.756 (P<0.05). The Pearson correlation coefficients of the pin prick score, light touch score and motor score of the inter-rater reliability were all above 0.85 (P<0.05), and the Kappa values of the AIS and completeness of the injury were 0.802 and 0.764 (P<0.05).ConclusionThe ASIA2000 scale has good test-retest reliability and inter-rater reliability.

ObjectiveTo investigate the application of ASIA2000 classification in prognosis of spinal cord injury patients' neurological function. MethodsConsecutive observation was done to the 42 patients using ASIA2000 classification 1 month, 3 months and 12 months after injury respectively. ResultsTo the incomplete SCI patients, motor score, pin prick score and light touch score were significantly improved 3 months after injury compared with that in 1 month after injury (P<0.05), but no significant improvement was observed in the complete ones, nor did in all the patients between 3 months and 12 months after injury. ConclusionThe Standard Neurological Classification is more sensitive than Standard Impairment Classification in ASIA2000. Individuals within 3 months after injury got better neurological recovery than those more than 3 months after injury. Incomplete injuried individuals may get better neurological prognosis than complete ones.

Objective To investigate calcineurin signaling pathway which mediates myocardium apoptosis of right heart in rats with chronic hypoxia and the potential mechanisms of it.Methods A rat model of right ventricular hypertrophy(RVH) was established induced by chronic hypoxia(95-105 mL?L-1 O2).Used randomized block design based on different brood,30 rats were divided into 3 groups:treatment group with cyclosporine A(CsA,10 mg?kg-1?d-1,intraperitoneal injection),chronic hypoxia group,normal control group(with normal oxygen).The rats in CsA treatment group and chronic hypoxia group were exposed to normobaric chronic hypoxia(95-105 mL?L-1 O2,21 days).Apoptotic index(AI),calcineurin A?(CnA?) mRNA levels,Bcl-2 mRNA levels and the protein expression levels of CnA?,nuclear factor 3 of activated T cells(NFAT3) and Bcl-2 in right ventricle were investigated.Results 1.The AI of treatment group with CsA was higher than that in chronic hypoxia group(P

25% or decrease by 15%,at termination ofTCI propofol and 5 rain after termination for determination of arterial plasma propofol concentrations which werecompared with the values predicted by the TCI system.Performance was determined by the median performanceerror(MDPE),the mean absolute performance error(MDAPE),the divergence and the wobble.Results A totalof 200 blood samples were taken.The mean value for MDPE was 14.9%(-21.6%-42.9%),for MDAPE23.3%(6.9%-62.5%),for divergence -1.9%?h~(-1)(-32.7%?h~(-1)-23.0%?h~(-1))and for wobble 18.9%(4.2%-59.6%).PE did not increase with time but with increasing target propofol concentration.ConclusionThe anesthesia was satisfactory in all patients.The predictive performance of Diprifusor TCI system is consideredacceptable for clinical purposes.The wobble is relatively big,for Chinese patients the pharmacokinetic model needsimproving.
