BACKGROUND:Posterior arch length deficiency is closely related to the formation and development of malocclusion.
OBJECTIVE:To measure the posterior arch length in individual normal occlusions of adults in Lanzhou.
METHODS:A total of 102 current col ege students with individual normal occlusions, with a mean age of (19.33±2.67) years (range 18-24 years), including 47 males and 55 females from Gansu Province, were chosen to take lateral cephalograms. Al research objects were divided into three groups according to mandibular plane angle:high angle group (Frankfort mandibular-plane angle>32°), low angle group (Frankfort mandibular-plane angle<22°) and control group (22°≤Frankfort mandibular-plane angle≤ 32°). Posterior arch length of both maxil ary and mandibular arches was measured, and the data were compared between genders and groups and in groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Posterior arch length of maxil ary arch was slightly longer in male group than that in female group, and the difference was not significant (P>0.05). The posterior arch length of mandibular arch was slightly longer in male group than that in female group, but the difference was no significant (P>0.05). Comparison between groups revealed that the posterior arch length of low angle mandibular arch was significantly longer than that of high angle mandibular arch in male group, and the difference was significant (P<0.05). The results indicate that the gender wil not influence the development of posterior arch length. Different vertical facial types and different genders have different posterior arch length in individual normal occlusions of adults

Objective To investigate whether Ki-67 and DNA topoisomerase Ⅱ α (Topo Ⅱ α) are effective prognostic markers in patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after liver transplantation.Methods This retrospective cohort study included 105 patients with HCC who underwent liver transplantation in a single center from 2001 to 2012.The demographic features,clinicopathological data,expressions of Topo I c and Ki-67 as detected by immunohistochemistry.The long-term survival and the potential prognostic factors,together with standard histologic parameters,were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analyses.Results A positive correlation was found between Topo II α and Ki-67 levels in HCC (r ＝ 0.469,P ＜ 0.01).Multivariate analyses showed that Ki-67 was an independent prognostic risk factor of recurrencefree survival (HR ＝ 2.296,P ＜ 0.05).The 5-year overall survival rate was related to tumor size (HR ＝ 1.743,P ＜ 0.05),AFP (HR ＝ 2.291,P ＜ 0.05),histological grade (HR ＝ 0.283,P ＜ 0.01),and high expressions of Ki-67 (HR ＝ 1.977,P ＜ 0.05) and Topo Ⅱ α levels (HR ＝ 1.883,P ＜ 0.05).The KaplanMeier analysis showed that there was a significant difference in the 5-year recurrence-free survival rate (40.4％ vs.57.6％) between patients with high and low expressions of Ki-67,which were significantly lower in the high Topo Ⅱ α expression patients (13.5％ vs.63.8％) (P ＜0.01).The 5-year overall survival rates were significantly lower in the high Ki-67 expression patients (12.7％ vs.61.1％,P ＜0.01) when compared with the low Ki-67 expression patients,which were significantly lower in the high Topo Ⅱ α-and Ki-67 expression patients (10.7％ vs.54.5％,P ＜0.01) than the low Topo Ⅱ α-or Ki-67 patients.Conclusions Ki-67 was associated with recurrence and metastasis in patients with primary hepatic carcinoma after liver transplantation.High expression of both Ki-67 and Topo Ⅱ α were associated with poor prognosis in these patients.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the regularity and characteristics of anaphylactoid reactions induced by Magnesium iso-glycyrrhizinate injection,and provide reference for clinical rational drug use. METHODS:27 ADR reports induced by Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate injection from Hunan Center for ADR Monitoring from Jan. 2014 to Mar. 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. RE-SULTS:In the 27 cases,15 were male (55.56%) and 12 were female (44.44%),with percentage of 1.25∶1;ADR mainly oc-curred in patients with 41-60 years old(51.85%);involved organ/system were mainly skin and its appendages(35.85%)and sys-temic damage(26.42%),the main clinical manifestations were rash,itching,fever,chills,vomiting and dizziness;there were 7 severe ADR reports(25.92%),mainly showed chills,fever and other systemic symptoms;most ADR can be cured(40.74%)or relieved(55.56%)by related processing. CONCLUSIONS:There are no risk tips for severe allergic reactions in instruction,it is necessary to strengthen post-marketing surveillance and further improve the drug instructions to reduce the risk of severe ADR in-duced by Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate injection.

Objective To investigate the role of preoperative peripheral blood neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR),platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR),prognostic nutritional index (PNI) in the prognosis of patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after radical operation.Methods This is a retrospective study,involving 426 surgically resected hepatitis B related hepatocellular carcinoma cases in a single center from 2003 to 2012.Results Kaplan-Meier analysis showed patients in NLR ≤ 1.62 group achieve higher rate of recurrence-free and overall survival than that in the NLR ＞ 1.62 group,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.005);Also PNI ＞ 49.42 group showed higher rate of overall survival significantly than PNI≤49.42 group (P ＜ 0.005).The results of Cox regression multivariate analysis further suggested that both NLR ＞ 1.62 (HR 1.74,P =0.007) and PNI ≤49.42 (HR 0.70,P =0.021) were independent risk factors for overall survival,NLR ＞ 1.62 (HR 1.45,P =0.03) was also an independent risk factor for recurrence-free survival.Conclusion The preoperative NLR and PNI may be independent risk factors for prognosis of patients with HBV-related HCC after radical operation.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of antibiotics to treat Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) infection in the clinic. METHODS:Resistant rate of PA in our hospital during 2011-2015 were analyzed retrospectively. Antibiotics use densi-ty(AUD)of 10 commonly used antibiotics were analyzed statistically,and the correlation of resistant rate with AUD was investi-gated by Spearman correlation analysis. RESULTS:One thousaud and eleven strains of PA were isolated in our hospital during 2011-2014,detection rate of PA always occupied the top 5 place. Top 3 antibiotics in the list of AUD were levofloxacin,ceftazi-dime,cefoperazone sodium and tazobactam sodium. AUD of piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium,levofloxacin,ciprofloxa-cin and meropenem were positively correlated with resistant rate of PA(r were 1.000,0.900,1.000,1.000,P<0.05). AUD of ce-foperazone sodium and tazobactam sodium were negatively correlated with resistant rate of PA(r=-0.900,P<0.05). AUD of imi-penem and cilastatin sodium,ceftazidime,gentamicin,aztreonam and amikacin had no correlation with resistant rate of PA(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:There is correlation between AUD of antibiotics and resistant rate of PA. It is of important significance to detect resistant rate of PA and the use of antibiotics regularly. Antibiotics should be selected cautiously in accordance with bacterial monitoring data,results of drug sensitivity tests,the amount and resistant rate of antibiotics,etc,in order to reduce resistant PA.

Objective: To observe the efficacy of herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion for lumbar disc herniation (LDH) due to kidney deficiency and blood stasis and observe the influence of this method on lumbar functions and inflammatory factors in patients with this condition. Methods: A total of 120 LDH patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into three groups, including a herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion group, a flour cake-partitioned moxibustion group, and a Western medication group, with 40 patients in each group. The patients in the Western medication group were treated with diflunisal tablets, 0.5 g per dose, 2 doses a day. Those in the herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion group were treated with additional herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion group at Back-Shu Points and Jiaji (EX-B2) Points once a day. Those in the flour cake-partitioned moxibustion group were treated with the same methods as in the herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion group, except that the herbal cake was replaced by a flour cake. All the patients were treated for 10 d. After treatment, the scores of the visual analog scale (VAS) and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) and the changes of the interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and substance P (SP) levels were observed, and the efficacy was evaluated. Results: After treatment, the VAS score and the levels of IL-6, TNF-α, and SP were lower than those before treatment, and the JOA score was higher than that before treatment in the three groups, indicating intra-group statistical significance (P<0.05). The VAS score and the levels of IL-6, TNF-α, and SP of the herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion group were lower than those of the flour cake-partitioned moxibustion group and the Western medication group, while the JOA score of the herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion group was higher than that of the other two groups, indicating inter-group statistical significance (P<0.05). The total effective rate of the herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion group was 92.5％, higher than that of the flour cake-partitioned moxibustion group (80.0％) and the Western medication group (72.5％), indicating inter-group statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion: On the basis of Western oral medication, additional herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion can alleviate the pain and improve the lumbar functions in patients with LDH due to kidney deficiency and blood stasis. The efficacy of the integrated method is better than that of either flour cake-partitioned moxibustion or Western medication alone, which may be related to the reduction of serum inflammatory factors.

Objective To investigate the relationship between contactin (CNTN)-1 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-C expression levels and the recurrence,metastasis and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) patients after liver transplantation.Methods Clinical data and pathological specimen of 105 patients diagnosed with primary HCC undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation were collected.The expression levels of CNTN-1 and VEGF-C in the cancerous and para-cancerous liver tissues were quantitatively measured by immunohistochemical staining.The relationship between the CNTN-1 and VEGF-C expression levels and clinicopathological characteristics,postoperative recurrence,metastasis and prognosis was statistically analyzed.Results The high expression rate of CNTN-1 and VEGF-C in liver cancerous tissues was 46.7％ and 39.0％,significantly higher compared with 11.4％ and 19.0％ in the para-cancerous tissues (both P＜0.05).Spearman correlation analysis revealed that the expression level of CNTN-1 was positively correlated with that of VEGF-C (P＜0.005).X2 test demonstrated that the expression of CNTN-1 protein was positively correlated with the level of alpha fetoprotein (AFP) (P=0.017),tumor,node,metastasis (TNM) staging(all P＜0.001),and negatively correlated with the degree of differentiation (P＜0.001).High expression of VEGF-C was positively correlated with TNM staging (P＜0.001).Cox multivariate analysis revealed that overall survival rate was significantly correlated with gender,AFP,degree of tumor differentiation,microvascular invasion,tumor diameter and high expression of CNTN-1 (P＜0.05-0.001).The recurrence-free survival was correlated with TNM staging,envelope integrity and high CNTN-1 expression (P＜0.05-0.001).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that postoperative overall survival curve and recurrence-free survival curve significantly differed between patients with high and low expression levels of CNTN-1 (both P＜0.01).Recurrence-free survival curve significantly differed between patients with high and low expression levels of VEGF-C (P=0.005).Conclusions CNTN-1 protein is highly expressed in HCC tissues and correlated with the expression of VEGF-C.It is associated with postoperative recurrence and metastasis of HCC after liver transplantation and affects the clinical prognosis of patients.
