Objective:To study the effect of subepithelial connective tissue grafting in covering an exposed root surface.Methods:Eight cases with gingival recession on upper and lower anterior teeth and premolars receited connective tissue grafting received connective tissue grafting were presented with 12 months of follow-up.Results:Initial gingival recession averaged 4.3 mm,with a mean probing pocket depth of 2.3 mm.At the 12-month follow-up,a mean of 3.0 mm of root coverage was observed(ie,71% root coverage,range 60% to 80%).Probing pocket depth averaged 1.6 mm,indicating a 3.6 mm gain of clinical attachment(range 2 to 5 mm).Conclusion:The application of connective tissue graft results in predictable root coverage and clinical attachment while maintaining shallow pockets.

Objective:To assess the role of EGFR mutations on pemetrexed response in patients with advanced lung adenocarcino-ma. Method: Forty pulmonary adenocarcinoma patients with evaluable lesions were retrospectively screened .They had been treated with pemetrexed-included chemotherapy and had EGFR gene test results. The evaluation endpoints were overall response rate,disease control rate and progression free survival. Result:No significant statistical difference was seen in overall response rate(ORR) (44.4%VS 31.8%, respectively) and disease control rate(DCR) (88.9%VS 81.8%, respectively ) between EGFR wild group and EGFR muta-tion group, but patients in EGFR wild group had longer progression free survival(PFS) ( 8.9 months VS 5.3 months;P=0.046). Conclu-sion:EGFR mutation status can influence the efficacy of pemetrexed.

Objective To investigate the relationships between Glucokinase (GCK) gene 6 (tag single-nucleotide polymorphisms,tagSNPs)sites which named rs12702070,rs2971672,rs2268569,rs2268573,rs2300587 and rs1476891 polymorphisms and type 2 diabetes in Chinese Southern Han Population.Methods This study was designed as a case-control.499 type 2 diabetes patients and 499 healthy controls were chosen.All subjects were from August 2013 to December 2014 in Zhongshan Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University.6 GCK tagSNPs sites were analyzed by improved multiple ligase detection reaction (iMLDR),and genotype and allele frequency between T2D group and healthy controls could be determined by chi-square test,logistic regression analysis,and tagSNPs were further analyzed under three genetic modes(dominant,recessive and additive).What's more,Haploview software was used to construct the haplotype of 6 GCK tagSNPs and the linkage disequilibrium (LD) and relationship between various GCK haplotype and T2D susceptibility could be analyzed.Results Genotype distribution of rs2268573,rs2300587,rs2268569 and rs1476891 (x2 were 3.361,2.076,0.582 and 0.918 respectively,all P ＞0.05) and allele frequency (x2 were 0.222,1.980,0.590 and 0.851 respectively,all P ＞ 0.05) in T2D group were no significant differences with health controls.Significant differences in genotype distribution of rs2971672 and rs12702070 (x2 were 6.896 and 7.990 respectively,all P ＜ 0.01) and allele frequency (x2 were 4.708 and 5.979,P ＜ 0.05 and P ＜ 0.01 respectively) were observed between T2D group and health controls.Under dominant model (rs2971672:OR =1.74,95％ CI =1.17-2.57,P ＜ 0.01;rs12702070:OR =1.54,95 ％ CI =1.17-2.04,P ＜ 0.01) and additive model (rs2971672:OR =1.51,95 ％ CI =1.06-2.14,P ＜ 0.05;rs12702070:OR =1.26,95％ CI =1.04-1.52,P ＜ 0.05),Genotype distribution of rs2971672 and rs2971672 in T2D were significantly different from health controls.There are two LD domains in 5 tagSNPs among those 6 sites of GCK gene.There are three main haplotypes(TC,TA,CA)in rs2971672 and rs2300587,and four main haplotypes (TAG,TGG,TAT,CGG) in Rs2268569,rs12702070 and rs1476891.Although TAG,TGG,TAT and CGG have no relevance to the individual risk of T2D (P ＞ 0.05),haplotype TA and CA reduce the individual risk of T2D with OR 0.81 (95％ CI:0.66-1.00,P＜0.05) and0.78 (95％ CI:0.62-0.98,P ＜0.01)respectively.Conclusions The results indicated that GCK gene 2 tagSNPs sites included rs2971672 and rs12702070 imparts susceptibility to T2D in Han Chinese,but not rs2268573,rs2300587,rs2268569 and rs1476891.Haplotype TA and CA in rs2971672 and rs2300587 reduce the individual risk of T2D and four main haplotypes (TAG,TGG,TAT,CGG) in rs2268569,rs12702070 and rs1476891 have no relevance to T2D.

Objective The study aimed to compare the vector system with the hand instrument in the pain severity during scaling and root planning.Methods 60 periodontal patients were randomly divided into two groups for supportive periodontal therapy (SPT):the experimental group (using vector system) and the control group (using gracey instruments),with 30 cases in each group.And the painfulness after SPT was evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).Results 66％ patients felt mild pain during the supportive periodontal therapy with the application of vector system,while 36％ patients felt mild pain in the control group.24 patients in the experimental group accepted vector system for SPT and 23 patients in the experimental group felt less fear of the treatment.Conclusions Patients will feel less discomfort with the application of the vector system,therefore better compliance will be reached.And the cooperation of the doctors and nurses has great impact on the treatment effect.

AIM: We sought to evaluate the expression of apoptosis related genes, p53 and bcl-2, in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in which apoptosis was induced by the ligands of PPAR?-ox-LDL,ciglitazone and 15-deoxy-△ 12,14-PGJ 2,and then influenced by PGF 2?,an antagonist of PPAR?. To clarify whether PPAR? is involved in the regulations of p53 and bcl-2.METHODS: Rat aorta smooth muscle cells were isolated and cultured in DMEM containing 10%FBS. ox-LDL,ciglitazone and 15 d-PGJ 2 were added into the medium for 24 h, respectively. Using PGF 2? to inhibit PPAR? activation via activation of MAP kinase. We employed the flow cytometry analysis to quantitatively analyze the apoptosis of VSMCs. Also, we measured and analyzed the discrepancies of the expression of p53 and bcl-2 between every groups. RESULTS: During the process of apoptosis induced by PPAR?,the expression of P53 protein increased (P

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of combination therapy of cholinergic receptor blocker Tolterodine and Alpha-adrenergic receptor blocker Tamsulosin sustained-release capsules on benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)with overactive bladder(OAB) in elderly men.Methods A total of 97 male BPH patients aged 80 years and over(80～98 years old,mean 87.7 years old)were enrolled in this study,who met the diagnosis and treatment guidelines of OAB formulated by Chinese Urological Association and were admitted to our hospital from Jan.2015 to July.2015.Patients were randomly divided into Tamsulosin group(n＝ 51,treated with Tamsulosin) and combination group(n＝ 46,treated with Tamsulosin and Tolterodine).Results In Tamsulosin group after treatment,the international prostate symptom score(IPSS) was reduced from (18.3 ± 2.7) to (13.3 ± 3.1) (t ＝ 14.94,P ＜ 0.05),OAB symptom score(OABSS) from (9.3 ± 2.7) to (6.8 ± 1.9) (t ＝ 3.92,P ＜ 0.05),and post void residual volume(PVRV)from(36.5±32.3)ml to(16.2±12.1)ml(t＝14.98,P＜0.01).And the daily frequency of urgency,urgency incontinence and nocturia were improved in Tamsulosin group after treatment.IPSS,OABSS and PVRV were improved more significantly in combination group after treatment than in Tamsulosin group,and the daily frequency of urgency,urgency incontinence and nocturia were reduced more significantly in combination group than in tamsulosin group(t＝-5.23,-3.98,9.01,11.5,14.8,P＜0.01).While there was no significant difference in prostate volume (PV)and PVRV between the two groups after 8 weeks of treatment(t＝ 1.22,-0.94,P＞0.05).The total incidences of adverse events (mainly mouth dryness)had no significant differences between the Tamsulosingroup and the combination group(8.7％ vs.5.9％,x2 ＝99.47,P＞0.05).No acute urinary retention was found in the two groups.Conclusions The combination therapy of Tamsulosin and Tolterodine has better efficacy and safety than single Tamsulosin application in the treatment of BPH with OAB in elderly men.
