1.Antineoplastic properties of nitrogen-containing bisphosphoates
Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(4):257-260
Nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates exert antitumor activity through induction of apoptosis or inhibition of proliferation, invasion and migration in tumor cells, inhibition of angiogenesis and promotion of immune surveillance. Animal models show that bisphosphonates delay visceral metastasis progression. Both ABCSG-12 and ZOFAST trial have demonstrated that Zoledronate reduced breast cancer recurrence risks. Bisphosphonates are synergistic with a variety of chemotherapeutics, and sequential dosing is more effective, which may be attributable to increased uptake of bisphosphonates by tumor cells after pretreatment with chemotherapeutics. Metronomic administration of bisphophonates after chemotherapy provides bisphosphonates the promising antineoplatic potential.

OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to investigate the effects of different tooth preparations on the fracture strength and pattern of failure of teeth with severe wedge-shaped defect restored with post and core crowns.
METHODSAccording to whether the teeth above the wedge-shaped defect was removed (represented by B) or not (represented by A), the ferrule next to the wedge-shaped defect was prepared (represented by D) or not (represented by C), the cast post-and-core was chosen (represented by E) or glass-fiber post and resin core was chosen (represented by F). A total of 64 human mandibular premolar teeth were randomly divided into 8 groups: A1-1 (A + C + E), A1-2 (A + C + F), A2-1 (A + D + E), A2-2 (A + D + F), B1-1 (B + C + E), B1-2 (B + C + F), B2-1 (B + D + E), B2-2 (B + D + F), each group 8 teeth. All the teeth were prepared and restored accordingly and then mounted on an electronic pressure universal testing machine. The maximum fracture strength and the patterns of failure were recorded.
RESULTS1) The fracture strength of Group A1-1 > that of Group B1-1, Group A1-2 > Group B1-2, Group B2-1 > Group B1-1, and Group B2-1 > Group B2-2 with significant differences (P < 0.05). 2) The patterns of repairable fracture in Group A1-2 and B1-2 were both 37.5%, and that of the other groups were 0. Furthermore, the difference was significant, and Group A1-2 and B1-2 were higher than other groups.
CONCLUSIONThe maintenance of the overhang above the severe wedge-shaped defect aid in the improvement of the fracture strength of the tooth restored with post and core crown. The ferrule of the wedge-shaped defect is not recommended to be prepared. Furthermore, the glass-fiber post and resin core is favorable for the re-repair of the teeth than the cast post and core.

Purpose To explore the feasibility of optimizing monochromatic images in reducing iodinated contrast dose in CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA). Materials and Methods Sixty-eight patients undergoing CTPA were randomly divided into two groups, with half in research group and half in conventional group to evaluate image quality. Research group underwent spectral CT imaging with the injection of 30 ml Omnipaque (300 mgI/ml) and optimal monochromatic images were postprocessed using the software of GSI viewer. Conventional group underwent conventional CTPA with the injection of 80 ml Ultravist (370 mgI/ml). The CT values were measured respectively in the main pulmonary artery, left pulmonary trunk, right pulmonary trunk, left lobe artery and right lobe artery. The contrast noise ratio (CNR) in two groups were calculated, and image quality were subjectively assessed. Results The total iodine intake in research group (9000 mg) was significantly lower than that of conventional group (29 600 mg). CNR in the main pulmonary artery, left pulmonary trunk, right pulmonary trunk, left lobe artery and right lobe artery in research group was significantly higher than that of conventional group (t=2.07-2.71, P<0.05). Subjective image quality scores in research group were also higher than that of conventional group but had no statistical difference (Z=-0.944, P>0.05), while there was a good agreement between the two readers (Kappa=0.8, P<0.05). Conclusion It is possible to reduce iodinated contrast dose using spectral CT imaging and improve the image quality of CTPA.
