BACKGROUND:Occlusal scheme is the key of a successful complete denture, and how to choose a suitable occlusal scheme is a long-term problem for prosthodontists.
OBJECTIVE:To systematical y review the clinical effects of two occlusal schemes for complete denture.
METHODS:An electronic search of Cochrane Library, Medline/PubMed, EMBASE, CNKI, Wanfang and CBM databases were performed for clinical trials published before October 2013 using the key words of“complete denture”,“edentulous”,“occlusion”,”balanced”,“lingualized”,“anatomic”in Chinese and English. A manual searching of 11 relevant journals concerning oral medicine and reference lists of selected articles were conducted. Two reviewers independently extracted the data and assessed the quality of the included literature. Total y, 628 papers were retrieved.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Only five articles met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Of these five articles, one study showed lingualized occlusion dentures were more satisfactory than bilateral balanced occlusion dentures in denture retention (P<0.05);one study showed the lingualized occlusion exhibited lower scores for uncomfortable eating and avoiding particular foods (P<0.05), but higher scores for uncomfortable dentures than the bilateral balanced occlusion (P<0.05);one study showed the lingualized occlusion dentures have better masticatory efficiency and better protective role in alveolar bone than the bilateral balanced occlusion dentures (P<0.05);another two studies showed no significant differences in the overal satisfaction between lingualized occlusion and bilateral balanced occlusion dentures. These findings indicate that the lingualized occlusion is similar to bilateral balanced occlusion in the satisfaction of patients, masticatory efficiency, appearance and speech, but the lingualized occlusion dentures are better for severe alveolar bone resorption patients in terms of masticatory efficiency and better protection of alveolar bone.

Objective To investigate the pre-emptive analgesia effects of hydromorphone on stress reaction in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery.Methods Forty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients [age:45-58 years,body mass index:18-24 kg· (m2)-1] undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =20 for each group):treatment group and control group.Hydromorphone (1 mg) was intravenously injected before anesthesia in treatment group.In the two groups,after routine induction and incubation,remifentanil (0.2 μg· min-1 · kg-1) and propofol (0.1 mg· min-1· kg-1) were injected with micro perfusion pump,cisatracurium was injected intermittently.Injection of remifentanil and propofol was stopped when skin suture started.The concentrations of epinephrine(E) and norepinephrine(NE) were obtained before induction (t1),pneumoperitoneum (t2),1 h after pneumoperitoneum (t3) and extubation (t4),respectively.The heart rate,blood pressure and the time of operation to extubation of the patients were recorded.Results There were no significant changes in extubation time after operation among the groups.Heart rate and systolic blood pressure were significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Plasma E and NE levels at t1 were significantly lower than those at t2,t3 and t4.Plasma E and NE were significantly lower in treatment group than that of control group at t2,t3 and t4 (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Pre-emptive analgesia of hydromorphone can significantly decrease the release of epinephrine and norepinephrine during and after laparoscopic surgery,restrain the increase of heart rate and systolic blood pressure during extubation,without influence of revival time.

BACKGROUND:Our previous studies have shown that the poly(hydroxybutyrate- co-hydroxyvalerate) - sol-gel bioactive glass (PHBV-SGBG) has good biocompatibility and promote bone tissue repair, but its specific role in periodontal tissue regeneration has not been investigated. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the periodontal regenerative effects of a PHBV-SGBG scaffold in beagle dogs. METHODS:Alveolar bone defects (5 mm×5 mm) were surgicaly created bilateraly at the buccal side of the mandibular third and fourth premolars of four beagle dogs. PHBV-SGBG scaffold was randomly filed in the defects as experimental group and nothing was put into the contralateral as control group. Histological and scanning electron microscopy observations, cone-beam CT evaluation and the Ca/P concentration ratio analysis were processed at 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks after surgery. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After surgery, the height of the regenerated tissue increased with time in both groups, and the regenerated tissue height in the experiment group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). At 12 weeks after surgery, the Ca/P concentration ratio of the experiment group was close to that in the normal tissue (P > 0.05), but higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05); the histological observation showed that the regenerated tissue of the experimental group was close to the normal tissue, and the regenerated tissue of the control group tended to be mature, with a smal amount of new blood vessels. Under the scanning electron microscope, no scaffold structure was visible in the experimental group with the presence of bone lacuna at 8 weeks after surgery, while in the control group, there was no bone lacuna and obvious osteoblasts; at 12 weeks after surgery, the structure of the regenerated tissue of experimental group was more regular and close to the normal tissue with no remarkable osteoblasts, and in the control group, the regenerated tissue was disordered, with several cavity. These results show that the PHBV-SGBG scaffold can enhance periodontal bone regeneration effectively.

Aim To evaluate the hypolipidemic effect of total phenylpropanoid glycoside extracted from Ligustrum robustum(Roxb.)Blume(CNTG)and its mecha-nisms.Methods The 60 hamsters were randomly divided into six groups,namely the control group,the model group,the positive control group(fenofibrate,150 mg·kg-1),the high(1 200 mg·kg-1),medium(600 mg·kg-1)and low(300 mg·kg-1)doses of CNTG groups.Only the control group was given control diet and other groups received high-fat diet.The changes of serum lipid were measured and analyzed in 1st week to ensure the successful establishment of the model.The drugs were administered daily for four weeks and the concentrations of lipids were determined in the 2nd week,3rd week and 4th week respectively.Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot were used to assay the mRNA and protein expression of related signaling enzymes and proteins.Results Compared with the model group,the concentrations of serum TG,TC,LDL-C(P<0.05,P<0.01)and hepatic TG,TC(P<0.01)were effectively reduced in hamsters in CNTG-treated groups.Mechanism research found that CNTG increased the levels of phospho-AMPKα,LKB1 and phospho-LKB1 in liver(P<0.05).Conclusion CNTG prevents hyperlipidemia via activation of hepatic LKB1-AMPK pathway.

AIM:To investigate the role of immunoproteasome subunit β2i in deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)/salt-induced vascular inflammation in mice.METHODS:Wild-type and β2i knockout male mice were used.The right kidney was removed and DOCA pellet was subcutaneously implanted in the mice.The mice were then received 1% NaCl as drinking water for 3 weeks.The total RNA and protein were isolated from thoracic aorta 3 weeks later.The aortic tissues were fixed in formalin, embedded in paraffin and sectioned.Western blot, real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry were performed to detect the expression of β2i, macrophage marker Mac-2, NF-κB, and proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in thoracic aorta.RESULTS:Compared with sham group, DOCA/salt treatment significantly increased the expression of β2i at mRNA and protein levels, increased the infiltration of macrophages and expression of Mac-2, and upregulated the expression of NF-κB and proinflammatory cytokines including IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in wild-type group, whereas theses effects were markedly attenuated in β2i knockout mice.CONCLUSION:Immuneproteasome subunit β2i is involved in DOCA/salt-induced vascular inflammation through activation of NF-κB signaling in the mice.

Objective To evaluate regulatory effects of glutamate receptor antagonists on the proliferation and migration of WM451LU malignant melanoma cells, and to explore their related mechanisms. Methods WM451LU cells at exponential growth phase were classified into 3 groups to be treated with the glutamate receptor antagonist MK?801 at 100μmol/L(MK?801 group), the glutamate receptor antagonist CPCCOEt at 10μmol/L(CPCCOEt group), or culture medium(control group). After 24?hour treatment, methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)assay was performed to determine cell proliferation rates, scratch assay to evaluate the migration activity of cells, and Western?blot analysis to measure expression levels of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), protein kinase Cα(PKCα) both on cell membrane and in cytoplasm, and phosphorylated mitogen?activated protein kinase(p?MAPK). Results After 24?hour treatment, cell proliferation rates were significantly decreased in the MK?801 group and CPCCOEt group compared with the control group(63%± 3.1%and 60%± 2.4%vs. 100%± 1.1%, both P<0.05). The scratch assay showed that cell?free zones in the control group gradually narrowed over time, and the scratch wound tended to close. However, the cell?free zones in the MK?801 group and CPCCOEt group narrowed more slowly compared with the control group, and were still wide after 24?hour culture with no obvious closure of the scratch. The MK?801 group and CPCCOEt group both showed significantly decreased expressions of PCNA(77.0% ± 5.4% and 72.0% ± 4.2% respectively), PKCα on the cell membrane(0.12 ± 0.02 and 0.14 ± 0.02 respectively), and p?MAPK(0.48 ± 0.03 and 0.36 ± 0.04 respectively) compared with the control group(PCNA:100.0%± 1.3%;PKCα:0.38 ± 0.01;p?MAPK:1.00 ± 0.02;all P<0.05).Conclusion In vitro suppression of glutamate receptors can inhibit the proliferation and migration of WM451LU cells, likely through the mediation of the PKCα?MAPK signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the occurrence and influencing factors of perioperative complications after robotic gynecologic surgery.Methods:The clinical data and occurrence of perioperative complications in 1 000 cases robotic surgery completed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were retrospectively analyzed.Results:(1) Clinical data: the average age of the patients was (50.2±10.4) years old, and the average body mass index (BMI) was (24.4±3.6) kg/m 2. Among 1 000 cases, 811 cases of them were malignant tumors, including 405 cases of cervical cancer, 279 cases of endometrial carcinoma, 112 cases of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), 15 cases of vulvar cancer; 189 cases of them were benign diseases, including 43 cases of uterine prolapse, 57 cases hysterectomy of uterine leiomyoma and adenomyosis of the uterus ≥12 weeks, 84 cases myomectomy of uterine leiomyoma, and 5 cases of fallopian tubal ligation requiring anastomosis. Surgical methods: in patients with malignant tumors, cervical cancer, hysterectomy plus salpingectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy for stage Ⅰa1, and radical hysterectomy plus pelvic lymphatic dissection plus salpingectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy for stage Ⅰa2-Ⅱb. Endometrial carcinoma, performed by staging surgery. Staging surgery for EOC with early stage and cytoreductive surgery with advanced EOC. Vulvar cancer, extensive vulvar resection plus inguinal lymphadenectomy. In patients with benign diseases, uterine prolapse, hysterectomy plus salpingectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy plus sacrocolpopexy. Uterine leiomyoma or adenomyosis with uterus ≥ 12 weeks, hysterectomy plus salpingectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy. Myomectomy for patients requiring uterine preservation with uterine leiomyoma. Tubal anastomosis for patients with fallopian tubal ligation. (2) Surgical complications: intraoperative complications occurred in 25 patients (2.5%, 25/1 000), including 11 patients with vascular laceration, 11 patients with ureteral injury, 2 patients with bladder injury, and 1 patient with intestinal injury. Postoperative complications occurred in 130 patients (13.0%, 130/1 000), including 66 cases of lower limb venous thrombosis, 20 cases of lymphatic cyst, 8 cases of hydronephrosis, 9 cases of ileus, 16 cases with infection, 6 cases with genital fistula, 4 cases with trocar site herniation and 1 case with subcutaneous emphysema. The incidence of intraoperative complications was 3.1% (25/811) in malignant tumors and no case in benign diseases, the incidence rate in malignant tumors was significantly higher than that in benign diseases ( χ2=4.778, P=0.029). The incidence rate in cervical cancer (4.2%, 17/405) and EOC (3.6%, 4/112) were significantly higher than those in endometrial carcinoma (1.4%, 4/279) and vulvar cancer (0/15; P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications was 15.2% (123/811) in malignant tumors and 3.7% (7/189) in benign diseases. The incidence rate in malignant tumors was significantly higher than that in benign diseases ( χ2=17.807, P<0.01), but there were no significant difference among different malignant tumors ( χ2=4.318, P=0.229). (3) The correlative factors affecting the occurrence of surgical complications: patient′s age, BMI, previous pelvic or abdominal surgery history, the nature of disease (malignant or benign), operation time, and comorbidities had a significant impact on the incidence of postoperative complications ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the patient′s age ≥40 years old, BMI ≥25 kg/m 2, previous pelvic or abdominal surgery history, malignant tumors and comorbidities were independent influential factors of the postoperative complications ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Perioperative complications vary according to the type of the surgery. The age, BMI, previous pelvic or abdominal surgery history, malignant tumors, and comorbidities are influential factors of postoperative complications.
