Objective:To investigate the changes of hyoid position and pharyngeal airway before and after sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) of skeletal mandibular prognathism. Methods:Sixteen severe skeletal mandibular prognathism cases(Class Ⅲ, 5 males and 11 females) were chosen. Pre and post operation lateral cephalograms analysis reflecting pharyngeal airway and position of the hyoid bone was performed. Results: ① After SSRO, the width of airway decreased significantly. ② The distance between the mandible and the hyoid bone was also decreased significantly. No significant differences were found regarding measurements of the hyoid bone to the cranial base in male patients. Conclusion: The distance from the mandible to the hyoid bone and the width of airway were decreased significantly after SSRO. It suggests that the tongue and airway might be reformed functionally to new environments following SSRO surgical treatment.

Objective: To construct the antheraea pernyi lysozyme(ApLZ) expression system using the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris, to assay the antibacterial activity of the recombinant ApLZ against Streptococcus mutans. Methods:The ApLZ expression system was used in the expression and purity of Ap-lysozyme. The antibacterial activity of the recombinant ApLZ against Streptococcus mutans were assayed by using agar diffusion method. Results:Expression system of ApLZ was constructed using the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris as a host. ApLZ was expressed correctly and secreted efficiently when the native signal sequence of ApLZ was used as secretion signal. The level of ApLZ expression in Pichia pastoris peaks at 96 h after the induction of sustaining 5 ml/L methanol. The molecular weight of the recombinant ApLZ is about 20 000. Conclusion:The recombinant ApLZ is active in inhibiting the growth of Streptococcus mutans.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological features of primary hepatocellular carcinoma of the liver(PCCCL)and assess the over-all survival rate of PCCCL after hepatectomy and the association between prognosis and clear cell ratio in PCCCL.Methods The clinicopathological data of 43 patients with PCCCL treated with hepatectomy in our hospital from January 1999 to December 2003 were retrospectively analyzed.Results X2 test showed a positive rate of HCV infection(14.0%)and capsule formation(88.4 0A)in the PCCCL group markedly higher than the positive rate of HCV infection(1.2%)and capsule formation(65.0%)in the CHCC group(P=0.000 and 0.005).Meanwhile,the vascular invasion rate was notably Iower in the PCCCL group(53.4%vs.65.0%),but there were no significant differences between the two groups(P=0.129).Kaplan-Meier method showed that the1-,3-and 5-year survival rates were significantly higher in the PCCCL group than in the CHCC group(81%,53%and 39%vs.76%,46%and 32 0A,P=0.021).The prognosis of patients in the PCCCL group was related to capsule formation.vascular invasion,liver cirrhosis and clear cell ratio.The 1-,3-and 5-year survival rates were markedly higher in the group with higher clear cell ratio (≥75%,subgroup B)than in group with lower clear cell ratio(＜75%,subgroup A)(80 0A,43%and 23%vs.85 0A,77% and 68%,P=0.011).Conclusion The notable clinicopathologicaI features of the patients with PCCCL are higher rates of HCV infection.capsule formation and lower rate of vascular invasion.Their prognosis is better than the patients with CHCC and related with the ratio of clear cell.
