BACKGROUND: Soft-start is a newly photoactivation mode, which has certain effect on composite resin. However, previous study mainly concentrated on the conventional resin-based composites, the reports regarding soft-start on packable resin-based composites is poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: It is assumed that soft-start photoactivation had effect on packable resin-based composites, in addition, to investigate its effect on the hardness of packable resin-based composites. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A double factors design. The experiment was performed at the Department of Stomatology, First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University and Chemical Mine Metal Material Test Laboratory, Guangdong Inspection and Quarantine Technology Center in October 2007. MATERIALS: Three packable resin-based composites were Ecusphere-Carat (EC, DMG Company, Germany), Filtek P60 (P60, 3M EPSE Company, USA), Tetric Ceram HB (HB, Ivoclar Vivadent Company, Liechtenstein) and a conventional composite FiltekZ250 (Z250, 3M EPSE Company, USA). The color of composites was A3. METHODS: Three packable resin-based composites and a conventional composite were filling in a cylindrical container (7 mm diameter, 4 mm depth), to obtain 80 samples, and then were divided into different groups according to the composite and photoactivation mode (n=10). In the soft-start photoactivation, samples were irradiated by 300 mW/cm~2 for 10 s, and then 600 mW/cm~2 for 30 s. Standard photoactivation was irradiated with 600 mW/cm~2 for 40 s.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The microhardness of the top and bottom of the specimens was determined by Vickers microhardness tester. RESULTS: Three packable composites had higher hardness values than conventional composite. Though soft-start photoactivation could decrease the hardness of packable composites, the difference had no significant difference to standard mode (P > 0.05). There was significant difference on the top hardness and on the bottom hardness of conventional composite between two photoactivation modes (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The soft-start mode and resin-based composites should be selected carefully according to different filing areas.

Objective:To analyze the use of policy tools for rural-oriented tuition-waived medical student training policy and to provide relevant suggestions for the continuous promotion of the policy.Methods:With "rural-oriented tuition-waived medical students" as the key word, the policy texts were collected and screened from government portals. Using ROTHWELL disaggregated method to build the rural order directional medical students training policy analysis framework, applying Excel 2019 software for classification and coding of policy texts.Results:A total of 13 rural-oriented medical student training policy texts were screened and obtained. The X dimension of the policy analysis framework for rural order-oriented medical student training included three policy tools, namely, supply, environment and demand, and the Y dimension included three policy objectives, namely, available, usable, and retained. In X dimension, environmental policy tools were most frequently used. In Y dimension, the "retained" target had the highest frequency of use.Conclusion:There were differences in the frequency of using policy tools for targeted medical student cultivation in different policies. The frequency of using environmental tools is higher, which highlighted the attention of the state to medical and health services. The internal structure of policy tools is unbalanced, so the configuration of supply-oriented policy tools should be optimized, and the construction of demand-oriented policy tools should be emphasized. It is suggested to continuously optimize the combination of policy tools, improve the compatibility between policy tools and rural order-oriented medical student training, and pay attention to the sustainability of policy tools.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of different density rat fibroblasts on the expression of conjunctin 43 (Cx43) in cardiomyocytes and cell viability.Methods:Cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts were co-cultured using Transwell, cardiomyocytes were inoculated into the lower chamber of Transwell and fibroblasts into the upper chamber of Transwell.The cells were divided into 3 groups ( n=12 each) by a random number table method: fibroblast density 0.5×10 5 cells/ml group (group C 0.5), fibroblast density 1×10 5 cells/ml group (group C 1), and fibroblast density 2×10 5 cells/ml group (group C 2), with the density of cardiomyocytes 1×10 5 cells/ml in three groups.Cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts were co-cultured for 20 h in three groups.Cardiomyocytes were collected after co-culture for determination of cell viability (by CCK8 method), apoptosis rate (by flow cytometry), and expression of Cx43 mRNA (by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction) and expression of Cx43 and phosphorylated Cx43 (p-Cx43) (by Western blot).
