BACKGROUND:Several studies have shown that Hero642 is a rotary nickel-titanium file with high safe performance, and its ability of root canal shaping is good.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical effect of single-visit root canal treatment using Hero642 nickel-titanium rotary instrument on teeth with chronic pulpitis and apical periodontitis.
METHODS:Total y 400 teeth with chronic pulpitis and apical periodontitis were operated by Hero642 nickel-titanium rotary instrument and nickel-titanium hand file, respectively. The efficiency of root canal preparation was taken. Pain reactions were recorded 1 week after operation and curative effects were evaluated 2 years after root canal treatment. Rates of pain and success were calculated at 1 week and 2 years after treatment, respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The average time for root canal preparation was (3.57±0.76) minutes in the Hero642 group and (7.62±0.25) minutes in the hand file group, and there was a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.01). After 1 week of treatment, the pain rates were 3.5%and 22.8%in the two groups, respectively, showing a significant difference (P<0.01). Two-year fol ow-up was performed, and ratios of success were 94.4%in the Hero642 group and 92.4%in the hand file group, but there was no difference between the two groups. Hero642 nickel-titanium rotary instrument for single-visit root canal treatment showed excellent efficiency on clinical treatment, reduced treatment period and had less postoperative reactions.

Objective To explore protective effect of Anisodamine against injure of cochlea hair cells induced by ionizing radiation. Methods 50 healthy guinea pigs were randomly divided into 3groups: radiation group( n = 20) , anisodamine protective group( n = 20) and control group( n = 10). 20ears were observed in each group. Tempora of guinea pigs in anisodamine protective group and radiation group were exposed to fractional doses of 6 MeV electron beam produced by linear accelerators (2 Gy/d)with a total dose of 60 Gy. Animals were injected intramuscularly with anisodamine (20 mg/kg) in protection group and equal saline solution in irradiated group, respectively, 30 min pre-irradiation.Morphological and functional changes in the guinea pig cochlea were observed. Results After radiation,the average ABR threshold value of the radiation group (52. 27 ± 2.42 dB peSPL) was significantly higher than that of the anisodamine protection group (37.65 ± 1.92 dB peSPL, t = 2.01, P< 0.05 ), and outer fair cells of cochlea reduced greatly in quantity by observing the stretched preparations of cochlea basilar membrane ( F=135. 362, P< 0.05 ). Under transmission electron microscope, outer fair cells of cochlea in the radiation group had obscure boundaries and swelled to lose their original shapes. Meanwhile, cell implement and the nucleus were obviously obnormal after radiation. In the anisodamine protection group,the boundaries of cochlea outer fair cells were very clear and the cells swelled a little. Cell implement and nuclear envelope were complete. Cochlea outer fair cells in the control group were found to line up in order with no collapse and reduction in number under scanning electron microscope, but those in the radiation group collapsed obviously, reduced in number and aligned in a state of chaos, while the outer fair cells in the anisodamine protection group regularly posed on the whole and the collapse was occasionally found.Conclusions The 60 Gy radiation at fractioned dose on the tempuses of the guinea pigs could cause damage to the cochlea hair cells. Anisodamine might have a protective effect against radiation damage.

BACKGROUND:Hydroxyapatite-coated titanium substrates improve the biocompatibility and have the property of intimating ossteointegration with host bonebed. However, hydroxyapatite lacks the necessary mechanical strength and degrades easily in the extracelular fluids, which may affect the stability of the titanium implant.
OBJECTIVE:To study the synthesis and characterization of lanthanum-incorporated hydroxyapatite coatings.
METHODS: Lanthanum-incorporated hydroxyapatite coatings were prepared by hydroxyapatite and 10%, 20% and 30% lanthanum, respectively, by means of sol-gel, which were then deposited on titanium substrates with dip-withdrawal technique. Surface morphology and crystaline microstructure of the coatings were observed by scanning electron microscope. The presence of functional groups for the obtained samples was performed by Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The Ca2+ concentration released from the coatings was measured by atomic absorption spectrometry for analysis of degradation property.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: With the increase of lanthanum content, the diffraction peak and crystalinity of lanthanum-incorporated hydroxyapatite coatings were increased, but the whole structure of lanthanum-incorporated hydroxyapatites had little changes. The crystal structure maintained stable with charge balance. The lanthanum-incorporated hydroxyapatite coatings showed uniform and high-dense structure and were free of cracks, indicating the coatings had good bonding strength. Under the simulated biological environment, based on the determination of Ca2+ release from the coatings, we can conclude the lanthanum-incorporated hydroxyapatite coatings have a stronger acidoresistance.

AIM: To evaluate the effects of rutae-carpine on ulcerative colitis and intestinal movement in experimental animals. METHODS: The mouse model of acute colitis was induced by coionic instillation of dinitro-chlorobenzene (DNCB)/alcohol. Rutaecarpine (10, 30, and 100 mg?kg-1 ) were orally administrated to animals for 3 days. Diarrheas, colon weight index, macroscopic damage in the colon were observed and the activity of MPO and the content of PGE2 in colon were also examined . Meanwhile, the inhibitory effects of rutaecarpine on ileal contraction movement in Guinea pig which was induced by acetylcoline or histamine in vitro were examined. RESULTS: The diarrhea and the colon weight index were reduced and the macroscopic damage in the in-flammatory colon was effectively attenuated by rutae-carpine. The elevated level of MPO and PGE2 were also significantly decreased. Heal contraction movement induced by acetylcoline or histamine in vitro was strongly dose-dependent inhibited by rutaecarpine. CONCLUSION: Rutaecarpine can effectively inhibit the inflammatory infiltration, bleeding and proliferation in experimental ulcerative colitis and the movement of intestinal smooth muscle. Rutaecarpine may be an effective drug in treating inflammatory bowel diseases in clinic.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of gemstone spectral imaging (GSI) associated with patient-based low dose of contrast medium protocol in carotid CTA. Methods One hundred and twenty patients who were suspected with stenotic carotid artery or carotid plaque were prospectively enrolled in the study. All of them were divide into two groups by random number table. Group A (routine group): 60 were scanned with 120 kVp after the administration of moderate-concentration CM(320 mg/ml) with 5 ml/s injection velocity, Group B (low dose group):60 were scanned with GSI which was reconstructed using 50%ASiR after the administration of the same CM with 3 ml/s injection velocity. The contrast dose [(test bolus peak time +2 s – 5 s) × injection velocity] was calculated. Images of the two groups were compared in terms of arterial attenuation, signal-noise-ratio (SNR), contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), and subjective image quality (IQ) score. The value of CT dose index volume (CTDIvol), dose length product (DLP) and effective dose (ED) was recorded, respectively. Data were analyzed by using independent samples t test or Mann-Whitney U test. Results The mean attenuation, noise, SNR, CNR, subjective image quality score, contrast dose, CTDIvol, DLP and ED of routine group was (363 ± 56)HU, (13 ± 4)HU, 30 ± 10, 38±13, 3.0 score, (69 ± 13) ml, 13.61 mGy,527 mGy · cm and 3.11 mSv, respectively. The above variables of low-dose-group was (378 ± 69) HU, (9 ± 4)HU, 48 ± 19, 62 ± 24, 2.0 score,(49 ± 7)ml, 12.72 mGy, 478 mGy · cm and 2.82 mSv, respectively. The mean attenuation and subjective IQ score of carotid artery had no significant differences statistically between two groups (P>0.05), respectively. The noise, SNR, CNR, contrast dose, CTDIvol, DLP and ED had significant differences statistically between two groups (P<0.05), respectively. Conclusion Compared with 120 kVp protocol, the use of GSI associated with patient-based low dose of contrast medium protocol in carotid CTA could provide equivalent image quality and higher SNR and CNR of carotid artery with a smaller amount of iodine and a lower radiation dose.
