Objective To evaluate the dynamic viscoelasticity of unpolymerized light-cured composite resins reinforced with retentive filler(RF)or normal filler(NF),and the effect of dynamic viscoelasticity on clinical manipulation.Methods The dynamic viscoelastic properties of two light-cured composite resins reinforced with RF or NF were measured respectively with the dynamic stress rheometer.Flowing property,filling capacity,shaping and stability were designed to describe the clinical manipulation of the composites.Results The dynamic viscoelastic behavior of the composites is sensitive to changes in frequency,composite resin reinforced with RF had significantly higher shear storage modulus(G')and shear loss modulus(G″)than composite resins reinforced with NF,and had significantly lower loss tangent(tan?).The former was found to be more viscous,and the latter was found to be more elastic.Clinically,composite resin reinforced with RF has a greater ability of stability and shaping,and a lower potential for deformation;composite resin reinforced with NF has a higher flowing ability,and with a good adaptation to the cavity of the tooth.Conclusions The ideal composites should have high G' and low tan?.

AIM: To evaluate the case-based learning ( CBL ) in ophthalmology teaching practice.
METHODS: A total of 88 students were taught by the combination of lecture-based teaching with CBL form of sensory organs in Jinzhou Medical Teaching Classes. After class, the questionnaire was filled by each student to evaluate the CBL teaching mode.
RESULTS:The description of the data was analyzed as a percentage of each option. All the students were taught by CBL at the end of the class, most of the students could accept the teaching mode, it was helpful for students to understand the principle of clinical treatment, increased the interest in the process of teaching. And it was conducive to review the knowledge and exercise clinical case analysis ability. And it could recognize the ophthalmic diseases and special auxiliary examination. CBL teaching mode could stimulate students' interest in learning ophthalmology, it was beneficial to the cultivation of theory combined with practice and clinical thinking.
CONCLUSION: CBL teaching mode can be used as an auxiliary teaching lecture-based learning teaching.

Objective To evaluate the embolic effect on rabbits arteries using self-made copper plated platinum coil.Methods 1 7 New Zealand Big Ear Rabbits were selected.Unilateral subclavian artery or carotid artery was embolized with self-made secondary level copper plated platinum micro-coils (experimental group)through 3F-catheter.Contralateral subclavian artery or carotid artery was also embolized using secondary level platinum micro-coils (control group)as a control.The level of serum copper ions and the liver and renal function were recorded during different intervals before and after embolization.The arteriography and the tissue his-tology were observed respectively during different intervals after the embolization.Results 1 5 of 1 7 rabbits were embolized success-fully.After embolization,the level of serum copper ions increased in 2 weeks(P <0.05).However,it returned to preoperative level after 4 weeks (P >0.05).The liver and renal function was similar to that of the preoperation after 2 weeks.After embolization,an-giography showed that vascular embolization effect between two groups was not significantly different at 10 min and 30 min;howev-er,the embolization effect of experimental group was superior to that of control one (P <0.01)at 3 days and 1 week,2 weeks,4 weeks,6 weeks and 12 weeks.Pathological results showed that there were a lot of thromboses inside,outside and around the copper coil.Few thromboses appeared around platinum coil in control group.The thrombosis situation in experiment group was better than that in control one (P <0.01).However,no significant difference in inflammatory cell infiltration between two groups was found. Conclusion Self-made secondary level copper plated platinum coil has good physical property,rememorability,flexibility and con-trollability.

OBJECTIVETo determine the rheological properties of the photo-polymerized composite resin reinforced with retentive filler (RF) and its rheological difference with normal filler (NF) composite resin.

METHODSRheological properties of the composite resins, such as viscosity, shear stress and creep compliance, were measured with dynamic stress rheometer at room temperature (25 degrees C).

RESULTSThe viscosity of the composite resin reinforced with RF is higher than that of NF composite resin (P < 0.01); at the beginning, the viscosity of the former has little change with the rising of shear stress and the latter decreases, then the viscosities of the two composite resins increase with the rising of shear stress as soon as over 203.18 Pa of shear stress; the creep compliance of the composite resin reinforced with RF is significant smaller than that of NF composite resin (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONSThe rheological properties of the two composite resins have significant difference, so they have different clinical using properties.

Objective To evaluate transport efficiency and safety by process management during the handover of patients with tracheal intubation post-operation. Methods Prospective studies were performed between patients with or without process management during the handover. The time of handover were recorded and compared. The difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, and arterial oxygen saturation were also recorded and compared. The adverse events during the handover were also investigated. Results It costed less time in the handover of patients under process management with significant difference[(4.75±0.54) min vs. (7.05±0.88) min, t=-17.21, P<0.01]. The incidence rate of harmful cases in the handover of patients under process management was significantly declined than that without process management[ 1.67%(1/60) vs. 13.33%(8/60),Χ2=4.324 3,P<0.05 ]. Conclusions Process management may facilitate the handover of patients with tracheal intubation post-operation and improve its safety.

Multi-channel recording is now a widely used tool in neuroscience research that makes it possible to study the activity of neuron population. The data collected from multiple neurons indicate important information of neural coding rules and brain functional mechanism, which requires advanced computational techniques to decode. Here we reviewed the methods for multi-channel neural data analysis and gave brief introduction of their typical application for studying different kinds of neural data.

At present, a considerable proportion of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) cannot be effectively relieved by standard drug and psychotherapy, so researchers have turned their attention to new directions of physiotherapy. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), as an adjuvant therapy for refractory OCD, is a non-invasive nerve stimulation technique. Many studies have shown that rTMS is effective in the treatment of OCD. However, there were also disputes in the selection of stimulation targets, parameter settings and so on. This article systematically combs the setting and application of standard rTMS in the treatment of OCD, and comprehensive therapeutic effect of rTMS, and then discusses the deficiency of treatment so far, in order to put forward the future development direction and promote clinical treatment progress.
