AIM and METHODS: The effects of hydrogen peroxide on Na+ currents were studied in freshly dissociated rat hippocampal CA1 neurons using the whole-cell patch-clamp techinique. RESULTS: 2貶 2O 2 caused a dose-dependent and voltage-dependent increase in the voltage-activated Na+ currents. The amplitudes of Na+ currents were increased (48.0?4.2)% and (88. 2?5. 1)% (n=10) by H 2O 2 at 10 ?mol/L and 100 ?mol/L, respectively. ②H 2O 2 (10 ?mol/L) did not affect the activation process, but changed the inactivation process significantly. Before and after application of 10 ?mol/L of H 2O 2, the half-inactivation voltage was (-64.58?1.22)mV and (-53.55?0.94)mV (n=10, P

AIM: To study the effects of sodium metabisulfite (SMB), sulfur dioxide (SO_2) and its derivatives in vivo, sodium bisulfite and sulfite, on Na~+ currents. The effects of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) against SMB were also studied in freshly dissociated hippocampal CA1 neurons in rats. METHODS: The whole-cell patch-clamp techniques were used in the experiments. RESULTS: ① SMB increased the voltage-activated Na~+ currents in a concentration-and voltage-dependent manner. The amplitudes of Na~+ currents was increased (22.36?3.28) % and (65.05?5.75)% (n=10) by SMB at 2 ?mol/L and 20 ?mol/L, respectively. ② SMB (10 ?mol/L) did not affect the activation process, but changed the inactivation process significantly. Before and after application of 10 ?mol/L SMB, the half-inactivation voltage was (-82.38)?0.54) mV and (-69.39)?0.41) mV (n=10, P

Objective To evaluate the role of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in mitigation of inflammatory responses following myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury by sufentanil postconditioning in rats.Methods Thirty Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =10 each):sham operation group (S group); I/R group; sufentanil postconditioning group (SP group).Myocardial I/R was produced by temporary ligation of left anterior descending branch of coronary artery for 30 min followed by 120 min reperfusion.In group SP,sufentanil 0.6 μg/kg was injected intravenously at 5 min before reperfusion.The myocardial specimens and blood samples were taken at the end of 120 min reperfusion for determination of the interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) concentrations and TLR4 content (by ELISA).Results Compared with S group,the levels of TLR4,IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly increased in the other two groups.Comparedwith I/R group,the levels of TLR4,IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly decreased in group SP.Conclusion The mechanism by which sufentanil postconditioning mitigates inflammatory responses following myocardial I/R injury may be related to downregulation of TLR4 expression in myocardial tissues of rats.

Objective To evaluate the effect of endovascular stenting combined with external constriction valvuloplasty of superficial femoral vein for the treatment of Cockett syndrome. MethodsForty two cases of Cockett syndrome with femoral veins reflux were treated with iliac vein stent implantation or venoplasty, and superficial femoral veins were constricted with ePTFE graft patch at the level of the first valves. ResultsThe iliac veins were all patent after stent implantation. A follow up of 8 to 45 months revealed that limb swelling disappeared in 38 cases with no varicose. Slight limb swelling was left over in 3 cases. Stent thrombosis developing in one case two months later subsided after a successful thrombolysis. ConclusionThe procedure is mini invasive, safe and effective for the treatment of Cockett syndrome.

Objective To evaluate the role of temporary arteriovenous fistula(AVF) in the treatment of acute deep venous thrombosis(DVT) with Amplatz thrombectomy device(ATD). Method Seventy-six cases of acute DVT underwent mechanical thrombolysis with ATD, in which 50 cases received a temporary AVF after interventional therapy. Result One case died of pulmonary embolism. Ipsilateral limbs swelling subsided and pain alleviated in the remaining 72 cases since first post-operative day. Secondary contralateral DVT developed in 2 cases on the 7th post-operative day. The patency of temporary AVF was 86%(43/50). Sixty-eight cases (90.7%) were followed-up for 10~42 months post-operatively with limbs swelling completely subsided in 59 cases and ameliorated in 6 cases. Secondary inferior vena cava thrombosis developed in one case and 2 cases died of unrelated diseases. Conclusion Temporary AVF increases blood flow volume and blood velocity in the thrombectomized vein segment to improve the vein patency, hence is a valuable auxiliary means of ATD.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the bond strength and durability of a self-adhesive resin cement with a zirconia ceramic pretreated by a zirconia primer.

METHODSZirconia ceramic (Vita Inceram YZ) plates with a thickness of 2.5 mm were fired, polished, and then cleaned. Half of the polished ceramic plates were sandblasted with 50 μm alumina particles at 0.3 MPa for 20 s. The surface compound weight ratios were measured via X-ray fluorescence microscopy. The polished and sandblasted ceramic plates were directly bonded with self-adhesive resin cement (Biscem) or were pretreated by a zirconia primer (Z Primer Plus) before bonding with Biscem. The specimens of each test group were divided into two subgroups (n=10) and subjected to the shear test after 0 and 10,000 thermal cycles. The data were analyzed via three-way ANOVA.

RESULTSAfter air abrasion, 8.27% weight ratio of alumina attached to the zirconia surface. Compared with air abrasion, primer treatment more significantly improved the primary resin bond strength of the zirconia ceramic. The primary resin bond strength of the zirconia ceramic with no primer treatment was not affected by thermocycling (P>0.05). However, the primary resin bond strength of the zirconia ceramic with primer treatment was significantly decreased by thermocycling (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONPrimer treatment can improve the primary resin bond strengths of zirconia ceramics. However, the bond interface of the primer is not stable and rapidly degraded during thermocycling.

Objective To compare the clinical effect of digital orthopedic three-dimensional visualization technology combined with image-based computer navigation and simple image-based computer navigation for percutaneous screw fixation of acetabulum anterior column fractures.Methods A retrospectivecase-control analysis was made on 19 cases undergone percutaneous screw fixation of acetabular anterior column fractures under image-based computer navigation from January 2015 to 2016 March.There were 12 males and 7 females,aged from 21 to 66 years (mean,39.3 years).AO fracture classification was A3 type in 17 cases and B1 type in 2.Based on the application of three-dimensional digital programming,the cases were assigned to two groups:group A (n =9),virtual three-dimensional model was reconstructed and the virtual screw were inserted to uninjured side by software Mimics and group B (n =10),patients were only prepared for routine preoperative preparation.Time of anterior column screw insertion,intraoperative bleeding,intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency,fracture reduction and Majeed score were compared between the two groups.Results All cases were followed up for mean 8.4 months (range,3-12 months).There were no significant differences between groups A and group B in iutraoperative bleeding [(14.1 ± 3.0) ml,(15.1 ± 2.2) ml],good to excellent rate of reduction (89％,80％),good to excellent rate of Majeed score (89％,80％) (P ＞ 0.05).Time of anterior column screw insertion [(22.4-± 3.4) min] and intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency [(24.9 ± 3.8)times] in group A were significantly less than those[(29.4 ± 4.5)min,(30.5 ± 5.8)times] in group B (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Digital orthopedic three-dimensional visualization technology is associated with shortened time of anterior column screw insertion and reduced intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency,indicating an effective adjuvant technique for percutaneous screw fixation of acetabulum anterior column under navigation.

Objective: To explore the effect of ultrasound on dentin smear layer's surface and bonding strength of the universal resin adhesive under self-etching mode. Methods: Forty mandibular third molars without caries were randomly divided into two groups; one was polished with silicon carbide sandpaper; the other was polished with silicon carbide sandpaper followed by ultrasonic treatment. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to observe surface of the dentin. Treated teeth were bonded with two universal resin adhesives, Clearfil Universal Bond (pH=2.3) and All-Bond Universal (pH=3.1), and the penetration of the bonding interface was observed with a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) after Rhodamine B staining. Finally, the micro tensile bond strength test was conducted to test the adhesion. Results: The SEM showed that after polishing with silicon carbide sandpaper, the smear layer of the dentin surface was scratched, and dentin tubules were almost completely blocked, with no obvious dentin tubules exposed. After ultrasonic treatment, the scratches were reduced, and a large number of dentin tubules were exposed. CLSM showed that both adhesives could penetrate the dentin along the dentin tubules more deeply after ultrasound treatment. Micro tensile bond strength tests showed that ultrasonic treatment could enhance the bonding strength of two universal resin adhesives. However, there was no statistical difference in bonding strength between these two universal resin adhesives under the same treatment. . Conclusion Ultrasound can partially remove the smear layer on dentin's surface, expose dentin tubules, and increase universal resin adhesives' penetration depth and bonding strength under self-etching mode
