Objective To study the effect of different palatal vault shape on the stress distribution of edentulous maxilla surface.Methods Using three-dimensional finite element method(3-D FED),we simulated five bite states,putting five loading conditions on 3-D FED model of maxillary edentulous with three different palatal vault shapes.Results We obtained the stress value and multicolor picture of 3-D FE model.Labial frenal notch zone and alveolar ridge zone were the stress concentration zone of the maxillary edentulous with three different palatal vault shapes under five kinds of loading conditions.The deep palatal vault maxillary edentulous almost had the maximum stress values in labial frenal notch zone,palate zone and alveolar ridge zone,and upper edentulous jaw with palatal torus was the minimum.Conclusion Palatal vault shape can change the stress value of edentulous maxilla surface,but cannot change the stress distribution.Loading condition can change the stress distribution and stress value.

Objective To study the influence of elicitors on growth and baicalin biosynthesis in hairy root of Scutellaria baicalensis(HRSB).Methods The elicitors from the solution of Ca2+,Mg2+,Co2+ and fungal elicitors extracted from Aspergillus niger,A.oryzae,and Armillaria mellea were cocultivated with HRSB and the content of baicalin was determined by HPLC.Results Every elicitor has different influences on the growth and baicalin biosynthesis.When the concentration of A.niger was 40 mg/L,A.oryzae was 20 mg/L,and the Co2+ is 1.53?10-4 mmol/L,the content of baicalin increased respectively to 9.18%,8.81%,and 8.62%.Conclusion Elicitors could improve some specific secondary metabolic synthesis.The test implies that the elicitors of A.niger,A.oryzae,and Co2+ could effectively improve the synthesis of baicalin.
