Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2009;13(51):10109-10112
BACKGROUND: The wear resistance and hardness of artificial tooth would affect repairing effects in clinic. However, there is lack of professional standard for resin teeth in China.OBJECTIVE: To provide a theoretic foundation for the choosing of the resin teeth in clinic via comparing the wear resistance and hardness among 7 different resin teeth.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A contrast observation. The experiment was performed at the laboratory of Mechanical Engineering College, Shanghai Jiao Tong University from November 2003 to May 2004.MATERIALS: A total of 7 kinds of different resin teeth were selected, namely, hard multi-layer synthetic resin teeth (A); multi-layer synthetic resin teeth (B); synthetic resin teeth (C); EMDURA resin teeth (D); three-layer synthetic resin teeth (E); optostar four-layer synthetic resin teeth (F); and Cosmo HXL (G).METHODS: The wear test was processed by a pin-plate wear machine. The result was measured by the weight loss through wearing and the surfaces of the wear scar were observed by a scanning electronic microscope (SEM); hardness was measured by Knoop hardness. Meanwhile, the relativity between the hardness and wear resistance of resin teeth was analyzed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The wear resistance and hardness of resin teeth.RESULTS: According to the weight loss and SEM examination, the wear resistance of the different resin teeth was D>A>G>E>B>F>C; and the hardness of different resin teeth was D>A>G>E>F>B>C. The correlation coefficient between the weight loss and hardness was -0.888 (P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: The variation of the wear resistance of the resin teeth may influenced by their different components, molecular weight and manufacturel methods. There are positive correlation between the hardness and wear resistance of resin teeth.

Prevalence of dislipidemia is increasing rapidly in China and there has been a growing interest in Chinese herbal medicine for the treatment of hyperlipidemia both inside and outside China. In this article, lipids regulating effects of 9 herbs or their extracts and 5 herbal formulae which have been published in English-language literature are reviewed. Although evidence from animals and humans consistently supports the therapeutic activities of these Chinese herbal medicines, few multi-center large-scale clinical trials have been conducted to confirm the efficacy and evaluate their safety.

Objective To investigate the effects of sevoflurane preconditioning (SP) on acute lung injury induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in rats.Methods Twenty-four male SD rats weighing 220-250 g were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 6 each): group Ⅰ control (group C),group Ⅱ LPS,group Ⅲ sevoflurane (group Sev) and group Ⅳ SP + LPS.In group Ⅰ and Ⅱ ,normal saline and LPS 5 mg/kg were given Ⅳ 30 min after ventilation respectively.In group Ⅲ and Ⅳ,the animals inhaled sevoflurane (end-tidal concentration 2.4% ) for 30 min followed by 5 min wash-out,and then received iv injection of normal saline and LPS 5 mg/kg respectively.The animals were killed at 6 h after LPS or normal saline administration.Lungs were removed for determination of W/D lung weight ratio,myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity,cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant-1 (CINC-1) content and expression of CINC-1 and CINC-1 mRNA.The severity of lung injury was evaluated using diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) score.Results Compared with group Ⅰ ,W/D lung weight ratio,DAD score,MPO activity and CINC-1 content were significantly increased,and expression of CINC-1 and CINC-1 mRNA up-regulated in group Ⅱ and Ⅲ,while there was no significant difference in the above indices between group Ⅲ and group Ⅰ .Compared with group Ⅱ ,W/D lung weight ratio,DAD score,MPO activity and CINC-1 content were significantly decreased,and expression of CINC-1 and CINC-1 mRNA down-regulated in group Ⅲ.Conclusion Sevoflurane preconditioning can protect the lungs against LPS-induced acute lung injury by inhibiting inflaunnatory response.
