Objective: To investigate the distraction osteogenesis technique in correction of severe retro-maxillary deformity following the repair of cleft palate. Methods:10 patients were included in the study. Orthodontic treatment was used as a regular procedure before operation. Distraction osteogenesis technique was used to correct the deformity and malocclusion. 4 of patients applied with the external distractor and others with internal distractor. Latency period was 7 days. Distraction rhythm is 0.8~1 mm/d,2~4 times/d. Consolidation period was 8~12 weeks. Orthognathic surgery was done after distraction finished when necessary. Results:The treatment process was smooth and no severe complication occurred. The maximum of distraction distance is 22 mm, and the minimum of distraction distance was 15 mm. No malunion or ununion occurred in all 10 patients. All the patients were satisfied with the results. Conclusion:Distraction osteogenesis is more suitable for correction of severe retro-maxillary deformity following the repair of cleft palate. Bone transplantation is unnecessary during the operation process with easier handling and lower risk.

The 50% inhibition doses ( ID50 ) of tetrandrine and demethyl tetrandrine on DNA synthesis in L7712 and Sl80 cells are 2.6, 3 .5mg/ L and 27.5, 24.5mg/L respectively. The DNA synthesis inhibition is likely due to DNA template damage caused by both natural products. The inhibition of DNA, RNA and protein syntheses by tetrandrine or demethyl tetrandrine increased with incubating time. The inhibiting activities of two natural products on DNA and RNA synthesis are s-tronger than on protein. There are no differences either in inhibiting activity or in inhibiting mechanism between two natural products.

?Objective: To design a new implant distraction apparatus.Methods:The implant distraction apparatus was designed on the bases of Ilizarov theory,made of pure titanium TA 2 and prepared as a set including distractor and accessories.Inferior edge of a dog's mandible was prepared for implantation. After horizontal osteotomy, two implant distraction devices were applied.Results:The transport bone segment was vertically augmented 3 5 mm successfully,and the ditraction apparatus was stable.Conclusion: The implant distraction device is functional in distraction osteogenesis.

Objective: To estabish an animal model with blast injury in maxillofacial region and to study the biomechanical property of the model.Methods: Spherical explosive at different distances was used to make wound in maxillofacial region in dogs. The pressure on tissue at different level, the variation of horizontal acceleration and strain of the mandibular and temporal bone were dynamically measured.Results: About 3.5 cm?3.0 cm soft tissue defect and madibular splintered fracture occurred in maxillofacial region when the spherical explosive exploded on the surface of the dog's face and the animal survived. The pressure on mandible was respectively 3.6%?2.9% of the surface of dog's face when the spherical explosive exploded 0 and 1.00 cm away from the dog's face while the ratio of horizontal acceleration of cranium to mandibular was 1/8?1/6. Splintered fracture occurred in mandible when the mandibular strain was 11 375 ??.Conclusion: The model can be applied as an animal model with blast injuries in maxillofacial region.

OBJECTIVE In order to study the effect of inhalable particles on evocation of allergic rhinitis in rats and its possible mechanism. METHODS The experimental group rats were basically allergized with OVA from intraperitoneal injection. Three groups were provoked by OVA alone, PM10 plus OVA and PM10 alone through nasal cavity respectively. The Control Group was allergized by NS instead of OVA, while the method of provocation was the same as experimental group. Then, the rats were sacrificed 24 hours after the last provocation. The morphological changes of the rats' nasal mucosa were observed by scanning electron microscope and hematoxylin-eosin (HE). The number of the eosinophile of the rats' nasal mucosa was counted under HE staining. RESULTS The amount of eosinophile in the three experimental groups was significantly different from that in NS group, and there was also a significant difference among three experimental groups. The amount of eosinophile in PM10 plus OVA group was obviously higher than that in other groups. Observed by scanning electron microscope, the cilia of the epithelium of the three experimental groups were significantly reduced, fallen off, fallen down, got enlaced, and adhered by secretion. CONCLUSION In the period of provoking, the inhalable particles may play a synergic role with allergen, and it can aggregate the rats' nasal mucosa injury and the allergic inflammation.

OBJECTIVE To explore the function and mechanism of the apoptosis in cochlear of mimetic aging guinea pigs treated with NGF. METHODSThe twenty-four four-month-old guinea pigs which auricle reflex were sensitive were divided randomly into three groups: A group were injected to abdominal cavity with physiological saline (2 ml/kg) ; B group were injected to abdominal cavity with 5 % D-galactose (300 mg/kg) ; C group were given 5 % D-galactose (300 mg/kg-) and NGF (1000 U/kg) respectively to abdominal cavity. Three groups had been treated two times a day for four consecutive weeks. All the guinea pigs were tested with auditory brainstem response (ABR) before the experiment and twenty-four hours after the last injection. All the guinea pigs were killed by decapitation. The cochlears were removed and fixed in different fixatives. The specimens were treated by a series of special process and the Corti organs were tested with terminal deoxynucleotidy1 transmission-mediated dUTP nick-end-labelling (TUNEL) and transmission electron microscopy respectively. RESULTS The ABR threshold of C group was apparently lower than that of B group (P

Objective: To study the injury characteristics of blast injury in maxillofacial region wounded by spherical explosive. Methods: Spherical explosive was used to wound maxillofacial region in rabbits , after gross observation of the trauma , bone tissue specimens were collected from 0.5 or 1.0 cm to the boundary of wound 6 hours, 3 and 7 days after wounding respectively, the samples were prepared and stained with HE and modified Mallory's trichrome staining and observed under light microscope . Microcirculation in wounded bone was studied by ink injection and observed in ground bone sections. Results: No changes were found 6 hours after injury. Inflammatory infiltration were found 3 days after injury.Osteonecrosis was observed 7 days after injury, the structure of bone beyond 0.1 cm of the wound was found to be normal and restoration of bone was observed. Conclusion : Pathological changes of mandible injured by spherical explosive are similar to those of usual fracture except that the wound of blast injury is seriously polluted.

A method was developed for simultaneous determination of Clozapine, Quetiapine and Risperidone in human serum by fully automated online solid phase extraction ( SPE )-high performance liquid chromatography. With Capcell MF Ph-1 column as SPE cartridge and Acclaim C18 as analytical column, high
selectivity could be achieved by this method according to the selective complementarity of the two columns. In the experiment, ACN-H2 O was used as the SPE mobile phase with a flow rate of 1 mL/min and ACN-10 mmol/L NH4 Ac was used as the analytical mobile phase with a flow rate of 1 mL/min. Serum samples were injected directly into the SPE column and the biological matrix was washed out with the loading solvent. By rotation of the switching valve, Clozapine, Quetiapine and Risperidone were eluted from the SPE cartridge in the back-flush mode and transferred to the analytical column by the chromatographic mobile phase. The whole time of the online SPE purification and chromatographic separation of the analytes was 18 min. Calibration curve of Clozapine with good linearity ( r=0 . 9996 ) was obtained in the range of 10-1800 μg/L in human serum, and the recoveries at low, medium and high concentration levels were 118. 4%, 105. 0% and 105 . 4%. Calibration curve of Quetiapine with good linearity ( r=0 . 9997 ) was obtained in the range of 3 . 6-640 μg/L in human serum, and the recoveries at low, medium and high concentration levels were 112. 8%, 101 . 1% and 101 . 5%. Calibration curve of Risperidone with good linearity ( r=0 . 9995 ) was obtained in the range of 0. 71-128 μg/L in human serum, and the recoveries at low, medium and high concentration levels were 100. 7%, 97. 2% and 98. 8%. In conclusion, the established automated online SPE-HPLC-UV method demonstrated good performance in terms of linearity, specificity, limits of quantification, and was successfully utilized to quantify Clozapine, Quetiapine and Risperidone in human serum.
