BACKGROUND: Mini-screw anchorage is an innovation technique applied in the orthodontic field, expanding the treatment ability of orthodontic appliance. Accurate of mini-screw insertion in the target position is a clinical problem which making orthodontist trouble in this technique application. OBJECTIVE: To introduce a kind of three dimensional guide of mini-screw used as anchorage in orthodontic treatment and to evaluate the positioning accuracy. DESIGN, TIME AND SE'I-rlNG: A contrast study was performed at the Department of Orthodontics, Capital Medical University from April to October 2005. PARTICIPANTS: Twenty cases (40 mini-screws) of maxillary critical anchorage requisition were considered as the experimental group, and 15 cases (30 mini-screws) who were not treated with surgical guide were considered as the control group. METHODS: Self-made stent was used as a positioning guide for implantation of mini-screw anchorage between the roots of upper second bicuspid and first molar. Thereafter, the position was measured. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The vertical distance from measure points to the reference middle line were measured. RESULTS: In 40 mini-screws inserted with the aid of surgical guide, the average survival time of mini-screw as anchorage was 10.3 months, 2 were lost, and the success rate was 95%. The average survival time of 30 mini-screws in the control group was 9 months, 9 were loss, and the success rate was 70%. The positioning measurement showed that deviation of mini-screw was not found in the experimental group, but it was found in the control group. CONCLUSION: By aid of surgical guide splint, mini-scraw can be inserted correctly into the target region.

Objective To study the clinical effect of gonadotropin releasing hormone-analogue (GnRH-a) and marvelon in the treatment of ovarian endometriesis after laparoscopy.Method The postoperative women with ovarian endometriosis were divided into three groups:19 treated with GnRH-a and marvelon(greup A),20 treated with GnRH-a(group B),20 without endocrinal therapy(group C).The symptoms scores,the recurrence and side effects were compared.ResultsThree years after laparescopy,the recurrent rate and symptoms scores in group C was the highest (P＜0.05),the recurrent cyst size [(12 + 1)mm] and symptoms scores [(1.2 + 0.9)scores] in group A was the lowest among three groups.Conclusions Marvelon and GnRH-a can be used in the treatment of ovarian endometriesis after laparoseopy.The effect of marvelon combined with GnRH-a is prior to GnRH-a.

Objective To analyze MRI features and diagnostic value in adenomyosis.Methods Clinical and MRI data of 31 cases of adenomyosis confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed.Turbo FSE T2WI,SE T1WI,and sagittal Turbo FSE T2WI examination were performed in all cases,10 of them were added to anatomic and sagittal fat-suppression(FS) T2WI scan.MR features of adenomyosis were analysed.Results In 19 cases of diffuse uterine adenomyosis,11 cases mainly showed diffusely thichened junctional zone of posterior wall.12 cases were focal uterine adenomyosis,the lesions located at posterior wall in 7 cases,front wall in 4 cases and bottom part in 1 case.28 cases displayed hypointensive masses like the intensity of junctional zone on T2WI and vesicular hyperintensive foci were found within the hypointensive lesions.The lesions in 21 cases were similar to that of myometrium on T1WI,9 of them displayed vesicular hyperintensive foci.Focal round-like junctional zone low signal intensity lesion in myometrial layer was found in 3 cases.Conclusion MRI can clearly determine the size and site of adenomyosis.FS is the valuable examination way.
