Objective:To investigate the alveolar bone defects of anterior alveolar bone in patients with bimaxillary protrusion by using cone-beam computed tomography ( CBCT ) . Methods: The samples consisted of 50 patients with bimaxillary protrusion, who were assigned to the teenage group[20 cases, (13. 1 ± 1. 0) years] and adult group[30 cases, (22. 9 ± 4. 2) years] . The adult group included 9 hy-po-divergent, 11 normo-divergent and 10 hyper-divergent patients. The images were obtained by using NewTom VG CBCT and the alveolar defects were evaluated. Results:The ratio of the patients had alveo-lar bone defects was 94. 00%. Meanwhile, the defects were associated with 38. 60% of all the teeth. Most defects occurred on labial alveolar bone ( 98 . 66%); fenestration was found more in the maxillary alveolar region and dehiscence occurred more in the mandible. The dehiscences (3. 06%) and defects prevalence (30. 13%) of the teenage group were significant lower than those of the adult group (11. 73% vs. 42. 46%), P<0. 05; while there was no significance of the fenestrations prevalence between the two group (P>0. 05). The hypo-divergent group had lower fenestrations prevalence (22. 22%) than the normo-divergent (33. 84%) and hyper-divergent groups (37. 50%), P<0. 05. The upper central incisor had the lowest alveolar bone defect prevalence. Conclusion: Alveolar bone defects are common findings in patients with bimaxillary protrusion before orthodontic treatment. The prevalence of defects is affected by age and vertical-growth type.

OBJECTIVEThis study aims to compare the treatment outcomes in patients with maxillary dentoalveolar protrusion by applying different anchorage methods via three-dimensional model measurement.

METHODSA total of 46 patients with maxillary dentoalveolar protrusion treated with bilateral maxillary first premolar extractions and high anchorage were selected. The subjects were randomly divided into three groups according to the type of anchorage applied, which included implant, extraoral, and Nance arch anchorages. The maxillary dental models were made before treatment and after space closure of maxilla. The movements of the maxillary central incisors and first molars were measured via a three-dimensional model measurement, and the amounts of movement were compared among the three groups.

RESULTSThe sagittal lingual movements of the maxillary central incisors were (-6.661 ± 1.328), (-5.939 ± 1.806), and (-5.788 ± 2.009) mm for the implant, extraoral, and Nance arch anchorage groups, respectively, with no significant difference among the three groups (P = 0.121). The corresponding vertical movements of the maxillary central incisors were (0.129 ± 1.815) mm intrusion, and (-2.162 ± 2.026), (-2.623 ± 1.776) mm extrusion. Significant difference was found between the implant anchorage group and the other groups (P < 0.05). The corresponding sagittal mesial movements of the maxillary first molars were (0.608 ± 1.045), (1.445 ± 1.462), and (1.503 ± 0.945) mm. The corresponding vertical movements of the maxillary first molars were (0.720 ± 0.805) mm intrusion, (0.076 ± 0.986) mm intrusion, and (-0.072 ± 0.690) mm extrusion. Significant difference was found between the implant anchorage group and the other two groups (P < 0.05). In the transverse direction, the first molars all moved lingually with no significant difference among the three groups (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONImplant anchorage may be superior in the vertical control of the maxillary incisors and in the sagittal, as well as in the vertical control of the maxillary molars, compared with the traditional anchorages during the treatment of patients with maxillary dentoalveolar protrusion.

Gut microbiota means a highly diverse and dense microbiota which inhabits in the gastrointestinal tract of humans.It plays a vital role in many important physiological processes including exerting nutritional and metabolic activities,regulating the immune system,and protecting against pathogens.Recent studies suggested that the gut microbiota was associated with the development of many lung diseases,such as pneumonia,asthma and tuberculosis.There is a gut-lung axis in human body.Now,the relationship between the gut microbiota and the gut-lung axis is reviewed.

Objective:To investigate the long-term efficacy of oral appliance treating of obstructive sleep apnea and hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) in different periods of treatment.Methods:A total of 55 patients were included in the study.Patients were all diagnosed with OSAHS by overnight polysomnography and all received oral appliance (OA) as the therapy.The OA positioned the mandible at 60％-70％ of the maximal mandible advancement position and created a 4-5 mm incisor separation.The patients were instructed to wear the appliance during sleep,6-8 hours per day,for 5-7 days per week.They were divided into four groups by the period of treatment,including less than 1 year group;1-2 years group;2-6 years group and 6-9 years group.The polysomnographic study was used to investigate the efficacy of the four groups.The outcome measures included the score on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI),the longest apnea time and the lowest oxygen saturation (LSaO2) levels during an overnight sleep.Results:The AHI decreased significantly in all the four groups.The less than 1 year group decreased from 24.50 (14.65,54.05) to 7.40 (2.12,10.00) events/h (P ＜ 0.001);The 1-2 years group decreased from 19.50 (12.15,39.23) to 1.80 (0.70,6.58) events/h (P =0.001);The 2-6 years group decreased from 25.00 (11.41,42.60) to 4.50 (1.35,7.90) events/h (P =0.001);The 6-9 years group decreased from 26.2 (16.95,47.45) to 4.00 (1.90,26.70) events/h (P =0.043).The longest apnea decreased significantly in less than 1 year group,1-2 years group and 2-6 years group.The longest apnea decreased from 57.00 (37.70,61.50) to 25.00 (15.90,33.50)seconds (P＜0.001) in the less than 1 year group,from 41.00 (25.50,62.26) to 13.10 (0.00,22.10) seconds (P =0.001) in the 1-2 year group and from 42.50 (30.35,58.15) to 15.60 (0.00,28.10) seconds (P =0.003) in the 2-6 year group.The LSaO2 levels increased significantly in the less than 1 year group and 2-6 years group.The LSaO2 levels rose significantly in the less than 1 year group,from 74.18％ ±7.96％ to 84.06％ ±7.67％ (P =0.001),and in the 2-6 years group,from 76.71％ ± 10.98％ to 84.06％ ±4.64％ (P =0.006),The LSaO2 levels did not increase significantly in the 1-2 years and 6-9 years groups.Kruskal-Wallis test showed that there were no statistically significant differences in the AHI,longest apnea time and LSaO2 in 4 the groups.Conclusion:The oral appliance is an effective therapy for patients with OSAHS in the long-term treatment.However,it's recommended to make appointments with patients as a follow-up supervision whether there is any efficacy decrease.And the oral appliance should be replaced if necessary.

Objective To evaluate clinical efficacy of shoulder dislocation combined with reverse Hill-sachs injury treated with Neer modified McLaughlin procedure. Methods Clinical data of seven patients for shoulder dislocation combined with reverse Hill-sachs injury in our hospital from October 2013 to June 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. All of the patients were received Neer modified McLaughlin procedure with defect area of humeral head from 25%to 40%. The clinical outcomes were evaluated with plain radiographs, subjective satisfaction, range of shoulder motion, University of Califonia Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder scale and constant score, which were recorded at the final follow up. Results The mean follow-up period was (12.3 ± 4.3) months. No recurence of shoulder dislocation was found. At the final follow up, a patient was found a slight osteoarthritis based on radiographs. Two patients were very satisfied with the surgery and five patients were satisfied. The average anterior flexion, abduction and external rotation of shoulder were 145.7° ± 12.7° and 148.6° ± 15.7° and 47.1° ± 5.7° respectively. The average UCLA score and constant score were (26.6 ± 2.8) and (78.6 ± 7.2) respectively. Conclusion The Neer modified McLaughlin procedure shows a remarkable clinical effect for shoulder dislocation combined with reverse Hill-sachs injury. The short and mid-term effects are definite with few complications.

OBJECTIVE:To study the anti-oxidative effects of spirulina kinase (SPK) in vitro. METHODS:The methods of phenanthroine-Fe2+ oxidation method,DPPH and auto-oxidation of pyrogallol were used to measure the effects of different concen-trations of SPK on scavenging hydroxyl (OH-) free radical,DPPH free radical and superoxide anion (O2-) free radical;IC50 of SPK was calculated. Prussian blue reaction was used to determine total reducing ability(by absorbance)of different concentrations of SPK to Fe3+. Vitamin C(VC)was used as positive control in above trials. RESULTS:SPK could eliminate the OH-free radical, DPPH free radical and O2- free radical in concentration-dependant manner,and the maximum elimination rate of SPK to OH- free radical and DPPH free radical were 86.82% and 78.98%(IC50 were 54.31,0.636 g/L),which were higher than VC (64.77%, 73.49%). The maximum elimination rate of SPK to O2- free radical was 78.31%(IC50 was 3.918 g/L),which was lower than VC (94.14%). In reducing ability test,SPK improved absorbance in reducing ability test system,and maximum absorbance was simi-lar to VC in concentration-dependant manner. CONCLUSIONS:SPK has obvious anti-oxidant activities in vitro.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of pleural effusion caused byMycoplasma pneumoniae in children.MethodsThe clinical data from children with pleural effusion caused byMycoplasma pneumoniae were retrospectively analyzed. Differences of clinical characteristics in children with pleural effusion caused byMycoplasma pneumoniae infection and non-Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection were compared. Moreover, multiple logistic regression analysis was performed on the factors that were identified to have statistical differences in single factor analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was performed and the diagnostic boundary value of each factor and the diagnostic accuracy of the regression model were calculated.ResultsThere were statistical differences between children with pleural effusion caused byMycoplasma pneumoniae infection and by non-Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in age, white blood cell count, lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), levels of IgA and IgM, and the proportion of multiple nuclei, glucose and lactic acid (LAC) in pleural effusion, pleural thickening, and formation of ifbrous separation (allP??3.92 years, serum IgM?>?1.29 g/L, LDH?>?367 U/L and pleural effusion LAC?

Objective:To explore the effects of sulforaphane (SFN), an activator of Nrf2, on anxiety and fear memory in Alzheimer's disease(AD) model mice and mechanism.Methods:The AD mice and wild type (WT) mice with the same background were randomly divided into four groups ( n=12 for each group): wild type + normal saline group (WT+ NS), wild type + sulforaphane (WT+ SFN), AD model + normal saline group (AD+ NS) and AD model + sulforaphane group (AD+ SFN). SFN was dissolved in normal saline (0.9% NaCl) and prepared solution with concentration of 1 g/L.According to body weight, mice in WT+ SFN group and AD+ SFN group were intraperitoneally injected with SFN (10 mg/kg), and mice in WT+ NS group and AD+ NS group were intraperitoneally injected with the same volume of normal saline once a day for 30 days.The open field test was used to detect the autonomous exploration ability and anxious behavior of mice.The elevated cross maze was used to detect the anxiety of mice.Conditional fear test was used to test the fear memory behavior of mice.Finally, the expression of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and malondialdehyde(MDA) in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex were detected by ELISA.Two-way ANOVA analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism 8.0.2 software. Results:In the open field test, the percentage of time in central region in AD+ SFN group ((9.99+ 0.37)%) was higher than that of AD+ NS group ((8.47+ 0.42)%) ( q=3.842, P<0.05). In the elevated cross maze, the percentage of time in open arm of AD+ SFN group ((26.2±1.6)%) was higher than that in AD+ NS group ((15.8±1.0)%) ( q=7.452, P<0.01). In the conditional fear test, all the mice of the four groups developed the fear memory, but AD+ SFN group showed higher freezing time ratio ((64.5±3.8)%) than AD+ NS group ((51.0±4.3)%)( q=5.266, P<0.01) in the testing stage.After SFN intervention, the important indicator of oxidative stress, the expression levels of SOD in hippocampus ( q=6.370, P<0.01) and cortex ( q=7.858, P<0.01) of AD mice increased, while the level of MDA in hippocampus ( q=5.146, P<0.05) and cortex ( q=5.833, P<0.01) decreased. Conclusion:SFN may inhibit oxidative stress through Nrf2 pathway, thereby improving anxiety and fear memory in AD mice.
