Journal of Practical Stomatology 2009;25(4):563-566
Objective:To analyze the prognosis of replanted permanent teeth in children and associated factors. To determine the onset time of root resorption and related factors. Methods: Clinical data of replanted teeth treated in Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Peking University, School and Hospital of Stomatology, from January 2000 to December 2006,were collected, and the follow-up period was no less than six months. The Fisher's exact test and cox regression were used for statistical analysis. Results: The study comprised of 39 patients with 50 replanted permanent teeth. The periodontium healing rate was 18%, while root resorption rate was 82%. Replacement resorption was the most common type of root resorption (64%).The factors significantly affecting periodontium healing were stage of root development and storage of avulsed teeth.Stage of root development and the time of endodontic treatment significantly affected the onset time of root resorption(P<0.05). Conclusion: Replacement resorption is the most common type of root resorption. The factors significantly affecting periodontium healing are stage of root development and storage of avulsed teeth. Stage of root development and the time of endodontic treatment significantly affect the onset time of root resorption.

World Science and Technology-Modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2014;(5):1178-1181
This study was aimed to explore effect of Gui-Zhi Fu-Ling W an (GZFLW) on HIF-1α and vascular en-dothelial growth factor (VEGF) in patients with endometriosis. A total of 68 endometriosis patients in the First Peo-ple's Hospital of Xining from June 2011 to June 2013 were included. All patients received treatment of GZFLW, once a day. After one-month treatment, the treatment efficacy was analyzed. The endometrial tissues (both ectopic endometrium and eutopic endometrium) were obtained before and after treatment. The protein levels of HIF-1α and VEGF as well as the relationship of HIF-1α and VEGF were analyzed by SP immunohistochemistry. The results showed that the total treatment efficacy was 86.76%. Compared with pretreatment, the posttreatment protein levels of HIF-1α and VEGF were significantly reduced (P< 0.05). The decreasing of VEGF protein level and HIF-1α expres-sion level were positively correlated (P< 0.05). It was concluded that GZFLW had better efficacy in the treatment of endometriosis. One of the reasons may be the downregulation of protein levels of HIF-1α and VEGF in endometriosis tissues.

Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2014;29(9):680-682
Objective To study the clinical characteristics of children with chaotic atrial tachycardia (CAT),and to improve its clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods Clinical data,follow-up,treatment and prognosis concerning 33 patients with CAT from Sep.2001 to Oct.2013 in Beijing Children's Hospital were analyzed.Results The 33 patients included 23 boys and 10 girls with ages ranging from 3 days to 13 months,5 months on the average.CAT was conformed by electrocardiogram in all patients:multifocal atrial tachycardia defined by 3 distinct P'-waveforms,irregular P'R,RR and P'-P' intervals,and isoelectric baseline between P'-waves.Combined with symptoms of atrial flutter,atrial fibrillation,atrial premature beats,atrial tachycardia,and interior conduction,differences were detected by 24-hour holter electrocardiography.Echocardiographic features indicated mild heart enlargement in 19 cases,medium enlargement in 4 cases,severe enlargement in 3 cases,atrial septal defect in 5 cases,ventricular septal defect in 3 cases,atrial septal defect coupled with patent ductus arteriosus in 1 case,congenital total anomalous pulmonary venous cormection in 1 case,and patent foramen ovale closure in 12 cases.Twenty-three patients had heart failure.Digoxine,amiodarone and Betaloc were administered to the patients for maintaining their heart functions.No antiarrhythmic drug therapy was used in 2 patients.Twenty-six of the patients (78.8%) had normal electrocardiographic sinus rhythm within 3 to 18 months after their discharge from hospital.Three of the patients (9.1%) still had CAT symptoms in their eletroccardiogram,but their heart rates were kept under control during the 12-month follow-up clinical visits.Of 26 children with cardiac enlargement,echocardiograms in 21 cases (80.8%) returned to normal within 1-3 months after their electrocardiograms returned to normal,and for the other 5 cases (19.2%),the recovery took 6-12 months.One patient died and 3 patients did not participate in the follow-up visits.Conclusions CAT is often found in newborns and infants.Its diagnosis relies on electrocardiography and 24-hour holter electrocardiography.Treatment with Digoxine,and/or β-receptor block,and amiodarone according to with the heart functions of patients can restore sinus rhythm,and achieve good prognostic results.
7.Research progress and prospect of human β-defensin 3 and its derivatives in ophthalmology
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2013;31(10):997-1000
Currently,antimicrobial resistance has become an urgent global public health problem.Human defensin,a family of innate immune peptides,plays an important role in the control of infectious disease because of its low resistance to microbiological infection.However,so far there is seldom report on industrial production of bioactive defensin.Human β-defensin 3 (HBD3) is a member of human innate antimicrobial peptides.It has broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and function in a variety of inflammation diseases.In addition,HBD3 is considered as a good candidate for antibiotics,because it has a strong killing activity to antibiotics-resistant microbes and resistance to highsalt environment,it is especially valuable for the treatment of ocular surface inflammatory diseases.This review covers the in vitro research on the production of HBD3,optimization of structure-activity and its antimicrobial potential for ocular surface infection,which may provide a supportive evidence for the commercial production of HBD3 and other antimicrobial peptides in biopharmaceutical area.
