Objective: To compare the shear strength of the self-etching techniques and the all-etching techniques for enamel adhesion and to provide evidence for the selection of different bonding methods in clinical practice. Methods: Ten middle incisors recently extracted were collected,each was cut into two parts following its sagittal axis,thus divide each tooth into two groups.For group 1 Single BondTM 2 was used to bond FiltekTM Z250 resin to the teeth.For group 2,SE Bond was used to bond Filtek Z250 resin to the teeth.After that,according to the principle of pressing from the incisal margin to the cervix,the shear strength of each bonding unit was tested and statistically analyzed. Results: The shear strength of Single BondTM 2 was significantly higher than that of SE Bond(P

Objective:To investigate the clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of children with osteomyelitis caused by Streptococcus pneumonia. Methods:The demographic characteristics, diagnosis, clinical manifestations, imaging features, treatment and short-term prognosis of Streptococcus pneumonia osteomyelitis cases in 18 children′s hospitals from January 2012 to December 2017 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Results:A total of 9 cases were enrolled, with a median age of 1 year and 3 months.Four children had underlying diseases.The main manifestations were local swelling, pain, limited mobility (9 cases) and fever (8 cases). Sites of infection included humerus (4 cases), femur (3 cases) and tibiofibula (2 cases), and 8 cases were complicated with septic arthritis; The laboratory tests showed increased white blood cells (8 cases, median 22.02×10 9/L), C-reactive protein (7 cases, median 55.44 mg/L) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (6 cases, median 70 mm/1 h) of those patients.Five patients received monotherapy in the initial treatment regimen with cephalosporins. Then the therapeutic schedules were adjusted according to the culture and antibiotic sensitivity. All patients were treated with puncture, incision drainage or fenestrating decompression.Eight patients were cured and discharged finally. Conclusions:Streptococcus pneumonia osteomyelitis is more common in younger children and may have no risk factors.The common infection site is long bone metaphysis, and those patients are easily complicated with septic arthritis.Antibiotic combined with surgical treatment are crucial to a good outcome.
