Objective:To evaluate the clinical effects of the key-way attachment in fixed restoration of mandibular first and second molar deletion.Methods:A 1 -5-year follow-up study was conducted on 1 6 patients with the reconstruction of mandibular first and second molar deletion.The key-way attachment was used as a connector in the fixed partial denture,with the third molar and 2 sec-ond premolars as the abutments.Results:During 5-year follow-up,1 3 of the fixed partial denture were good-looking,stable and functioning.The abutments were stable,without endodontic and periodontal disease.No absorption of alveolar bone was observed by X-ray examination.3 cases were failure.Bleeding on probing of third molar was observed in 1 patient 1 year after restoration.1 re-tainer of a denture on the third molar was loosing 1 .5 years after restoration.1 patient had dental caries on the third molar 5 years af-ter restoration.Conclusion:The key-way attachment as a connector is useful in fixed partial denture in patients with mandibular first and second molar deletion.

Objective To observe effects of soaking therapy with traditional Chinese medicine on athlete's foot. Methods346 cases of the treatment group (175 cases of erosive type and 171 cases of bullous type) were treated with soaking therapy by traditional Chinese medicine and 335 cases of the control group (170 cases of erosive type and 165 cases of bullous type) were treated with 3% Clotrimazolum ointment. Effects of two groups were compared.Results Effect of the treatment group was obviously more superior to that of the control group (P<0.0001). ConclusionsIt shows easy and effective that patients with athlete's foot were treated by soaking therapy with traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective To study the correlations between diopter,axis length,cornea curvature and thickness in myopia patients. Design Prospective case series.Participant 300 myopic patients who were ready for LASIK.Method 300 myopic patients who were ready for LASIK were selected randomly.They were divided into four groups according to the diopter of myopia:low myopia group (≤-3.00D)41 cases,medium myopia group(＞-3.00D,≤-6.00D)130 cases,high myopia group(＞-6.00D,≤-9.00D)95 cases,and super myopia group(＞-9.00D)34 cases.The axis length,cornea thickness,cornea eurvture and diopter of myopia were detected. Through analysis of variance(ANOVA),Pearson correlation analysis and linear regression analysis,the correlations between axis length, cornea thickness,curvature and diopter of myopia were made out in four groups.Main Outcome Measure Diopter of myopia,cornea curvature,axis length of eye and central cornea thickness.Result The axis length of low myopia group,medium myopia group,high myopia group and super myopia group was(24.32?1.73)mm,(25.33?1.49)mm,(26.04?1.92)mm,(27.47?2.57)mm respectively. There were obvious differences of axis lengths between four groups(P=0.000).The cornea curvature in high myopia group was obviously different from those in low myopia group and medium myopia group.There were no significant differences of cornea thickness among four groups(P=0.409).The axis lengths of eyes respectively had correlations with diopters(r=0.734,P=0.000),vertical and horizontal cornea curvatures(r=-0.312,P=0.000;r=-0.328,P=0.000).Conclusion The main effective factor on the diopter of myopia is the axis length for most patients.For the patients with high myopia,the cornea curvature is another effective factor.With the increase of axis length,the cornea curvature decreases,and the cornea turns flatter.(Ophthalmol CHN,2006,15:321-323)

Objective :To study the two common method of internal irradiation for nanometer-iron nuclide,and how to estimation of the absorbed dose for each of them.Methods:We chose the nanometer-iron nuclide emitting β-ray during the decay period,Respectively,Arterial injected into the liver or percutaneous puncture direct inject into the liver.Results:Through the formula,a few nanometer-iron nuclide can produced greater radiation.Conclusion:The estimation of absorbed dose depends on the therapy method.

Objective To evaluate clinical value of ultrasonography before and after stent implantation in the patients with obstructive jaundice.Methods Ultrasonic findings before and after stent implantation in 38 patients with obstructive jaundice were analyzed respectively,and location and pathological natures of the obstruction were compared with those of stent implantation.Results Stent implantation was successfully achieved in all the cases with hilum (15/15,100%) and common bile ducts obstruction(12/12,100%),ampulla of Vater (5/6,83%) ,and duodenal nipple(1/5,20%).A success rate of stent implantation was 100%(8/8) in benign lesions,and 83.3% (25/30) in malignant ones.The total success rate was 86.8%.The significant difference was found between the obstruction location and success rate of stent implantation ( P 0.05 ).Conclusions Ultrasonography not only contributes to diagnosis of location and pathological nature of the obstruction for successful stent implantation but also explores complications early.

[Objective]To detect the effect of constant magnetic field on metal ion Co2+,Cr3+ induced TNF-? secreted by human mononuclear cells,and to search a method for prevention and treatment of aseptic loosening. [Methods]CoCl2 powder and CrCl3 powder were dissolved in the asepsis injecting water. Mononuclear cells from human peripheral blood,were taken and cultured with Co2+,Cr3+ ions in different magnetic field of 10Gs,100 Gs,1000Gs for 12,24 and 48 hs. There were nine groups:control group,Co2+ group,Cr3+ group,Co2+andCr3+ with various intensities of constant magnetic field,respectively.ELISA method was applied to detect tumor necrosis factor (TNF-?) in serum via the absorbance (A).[Results]Co2+ and Cr3+ ions stimulated human mononuclear cell to secrete TNF-?

Objective To investigate the genetic susceptibility of HLA DRB1, DQB1 alleles to colorectal neoplasm in Hubei Han Chinese. Methods 54 patients with colorectal neoplasm and 136 healthy controls were examined for HLA DRB1 and HLA DQB1 genotypes, which were typed by using polymerase chain reaction/sequence specific primer (PCR/SSP) technique and allele sequence analysis.SAS(6.12 for win) was used for statistics. Results Compared with the control, the allele frequency (AF) of HLA DRB1*0901 (0.2315 vs 0.1397, P =0.033) and DRB1*080X(0.009 3 vs 0.080 9, P =7.11?10 -3 ) was significantly increased or decreased, respectively, in colorectal neoplasm of Hubei Han Chinese. And there was not significantly different between the patients with the control in the AF of HLA DQB1 alleles. Conclusion The results indicate that HLA DRB1*0901 allele is the positive association to , but DRB1*080X is the negative association to the patients of colorectal neoplasm among Hubei Han Chinese. The nucleotide sequences of these two alleles were identified by allele sequence analysis, approach to the corresponded allele sequence(exon 2)of genbank.There is not association HLA DQB1 alleles with the patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of fosinopril on transforming growth factor-?1 (TGF-?1) expression in myocardial tissue of streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diatetic rats. Methods A total of 30 SD rats were enrolled in the study, 10 of them were set as normal controls, others were created the model of diabetes by injecting STZ, and then equally divided into fosinopril group and untreated group. Myocardial TGF-ft was observed in all three groups after 5 weeks. Results The expression of TGF-fi, in myocardial tissue was weakly positive in normal group, strongly positive in untreated group and positive in fosinopriol treat group, with absorbance being 0. 009 ? 0. 004,0. 198 ?0. 007 and 0. 104 ? 0. 005,respectively. Conclusion Fosinopril may partly suppress the increased TGF-?1 expression in myocardial tissue of diatetic rats. It may decrease significantly the myocardial injury of diabetic rats.
