Objective: To evaluate differences in dental arch forms between the subjects with Angle II division 1(AngleⅡ1 ) and those with normal occlusion. Methods:60 AngleⅡ1 patients and 60 normal occlusion subjects aged 13-17 years old were selected. Fourteen landmarks, corresponding to the cusp tips and incisor edges, were identified on the upper and lower dental casts of all subjects by YM-21115 three dimension measuring machine. Arch form differences between AngleⅡ1 and normal occlusion subjects were assessed by Euclidean distance matrix analysis (EDMA). Results:(1) In both sexes, the upper arch of AngleⅡ1 subjects was larger than that of normal occlusion (1.8% for females and 2.7% for males); and arch shape difference was also significantly different(P

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether efflux mechanism is involved in fluoroquinolone-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated in China. METHODS We compared the ciprofloxacin accumulation in clinically isolated K. pneumoniae with or without CCCP by fluorospectrophotometry. Use reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to measure the mRNA expression level of acrAB-tolC efflux gene. RESULTS The accumulation of ciprofloxacin in resistant strains was lower than that in susceptible ones, and it could increase to a high level nearly to the susceptible strains. The mRNA level of efflux gene acrA was higher in resistant strains than in susceptible ones. CONCLUSIONS Efflux mechanism is associated with the resistance to fluroquinolones in K. pneumoniae strains isolated in China and CCCP can inhibit its active efflux mechanism , which provides a sensitive method to detect the active efflux system of K. pneumoniae.

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of berberine, amoxicillin, lansoprazole, bismuth quadruple therapy for Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori)eradication.Methods From December 2015 to April 2016,566 patients with initial treatment of H.pylori infection were prospectively enrolled.Patients were divided into observation group (berberine, amoxicillin, lansoprazole, bismuth) and control group (clarithromycin, amoxicillin, lansoprazole, bismuth), 283 cases in each group, and the treatment courses in two groups were both 14 days.Four weeks after completion of the treatment, the eradication rate of H.pylori and adverse effect rate of the two groups were compared.Student t test and Chi square test were performed for comparison between the two groups.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the baseline demographic data including gender,age, body mass index (BMI), symptom score between patients of the two groups (all P>0.05).Four weeks after completion of the treatment, the eradication rates of observation group and control group were 87.5%(244/279) and 87.1%(242/278) according to per-protocol analysis, and which were 86.2%(244/283) and 85.5 %(242/283) according to intention-to-treat analysis.There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (x2=0.021,0.058;both P>0.05).The adverse effect rates of the two groups were 12.5%(35/279) and 16.5%(46/278), and there was no statistically significant difference (x2=1.795,P=0.180).Conclusions Both the new quadruple regimen containing berberine, amoxicillin and bismuth, and the standard quadruple regimen containing clarithromycin, amoxicillin and bismuth both can effectively eradicate H.pylori infection.The new regimen might be recommended as first-line eradication regimen in Xi′an district or area with high clarithromycin resistance.

To develop an ophthalmic preparation of Shedan, an in situ forming gel was prepared with the formulation containing 18% of poloxamer 407 and 5% of poloxamer 188 by response surface designs plus central composite designs. The rheology results showed that LVE range gamma should limited within 0.5%, Shedan high-frequency region, and the thixotropy recovery time is less than 5 seconds. The phase transition temperature was 33.25 °C according to curve of storage modulus and loss modulus determined by temperature scanning. Surface tension and osmometer of it determined by surface tension meter and dew point osmometer were 36.43 mN · m(-1), and 320.6 mOsm · kg(-1), respectively. Fluorescein sodium was selected as the marker to monitor the corneal residence time, and the results showed that Shedan gel could prolong drug residence for 180 min. In line with zero-order kinetics, releases of muscone and salvianolic acid B in vitro depends on gels erosion. The results of rabbit ocular irritation experiments suggested that Shedan in situ forming gel was biocompatible and nonirritant. In conclusion, a novel Shedan in situ forming gel was developed and characterized for potential drug treatment of retinal vein occlusion.

Objective To explore the influence of automatic and semi-automatic hemodialyzer reuse method on hemodialyzer reuse effect. Methods 1728 dialyzers were randomly divided into automatichemodialyzer reuse group and semi- automatic hemodialyzer reuse group with 864 dialyzers in each group. Thetime of douching and testing, the cost of sterilization,the frequency of the pyrphgen reaction,the broken dialyzer membrane and re-examined dialyzer between the two groups were measured. Results The time of douching dialyzer, testing of total cell volume and pressure in the semi- automatic hemodialyzer reuse group was (26.443±3.237), (2.172±0.128) and (2.157±0.090) minutes respectively,while the automatic hemodialyzer reuse group was (5.793±0.193), (1.257±0.118) and (1.110±0.076) minutes respectively. The frequency of re-examined dialyzer in testing total cell volume and pressure was 499(57.755%), 243(28.125%) respectively. At the same time, all dialyzer in semi-automatic hemodialyzer reuse group could be examined successfully at a time. The cost of sterilization in automatic henmdialyzer reuse group was (9.330±0.138)yuan. No pyrogen reaction and broken dialyzer membrane happened. Conclusions The semi-automatic bemodialyzer reuse group can retrench cost during perfusion,but consumes long douching time, lacks matching detection equipment, difficult to detect, and is not easy to read data and has high re- examination rate. while in the automatic hemodialyzer group, it is convenient of douching and detection, but the cost of sterilization and equipment is high, and clinical demand can be fulfilled only when the dialysis center can allocate reasonable number of the machines.

Ocular decompression retinopathy(ODR)is defined as multiple hemorrhagic retinopathy following abrupt lowering of intraocular pressure(IOP)that is not explained by another process. It is frequently associated with glaucoma surgeries, but also occurs in conjunction with other ocular surgical or medical procedures. Most patients are asymptomatic, so it may be difficult to detect clinically. We review the recent articles to better understand the risk factors, pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, imaging, differential diagnoses, management and prognosis of ODR.
