1.A clinical evaluation of the two-implant-supported single crowns in molar restoration: A five years observation
Journal of Practical Stomatology 2009;25(6):905-907
After being restored, 69 cases of the two-implant-supported crowns were followed up for 5 years. Except 1 case failed after restored 5 years due to peri-implantitis, and there were no complications which can not be controlled in the other cases. The success rate of implant restoration in 5 years is 98.6%. The two-implant-supported single crown for molar is an effective method to restore the long gap of a single molar-loss.

AIM To elucidate the direct effects of propofol and thiopental on cardiac contraction by measuring intracellular Ca 2+ concentration change in cultured rat ventricular myocytes. METHOD Ventricular myocytes of neonatal rats were obtained by enzymatic digestion with typsin and were cultured for 4~5 days, then were loaded with Fluo 3AM, a new Ca 2+ indicator. The effects of propofol (50, 250 ?mol?L -1 ) or thiopental (100, 500 ?mol?L -1 ) on changes of intracellular Ca 2+ fluorescent intensity induced by KCl, isoprenaline or caffeine were investigated. RESULTS Both intravenous anesthetics caused dose dependent inhibit Ca 2+ transsarcolemmal influx induced by KCl and isoprenaline, peak Ca 2+ fluorescent intensity decreased. The inhibitory effect of thiopental was more than propofol at equiopotency. Neither anesthetics altered the amount of Ca 2+ release from intracellular stores in response to caffeine. CONCLUSION The negative inotropic effects of propofol and thiopental, at least in part, may be mediated by a decrease Ca 2+ transsarcolemmal influx though voltage gated and receptor gated calcium channel, but it is not relate to sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ release.

Objective Rab11 GTPases play an essential role in regulating membrane trafficking pathways in eukaryotic cells. Nonetheless, there has been little work done on characterizing the transport machinery of Trichomonas. The aim of this study is to clone and characterize a Rab11 gene of Trichomonas vaginalis.Methods A cDNA expression library was constructed with T. vaginalis total RNA. A cDNA clone, which showed a high degree of homology with Rab proteins of different species, was isolated and sequenced. Sequence analysis was performed using BLASTP, RPS-BLAST and ClustalW programs. The genomic DNA corresponding to the cDNA sequence was amplified using PCR techniques and following by sequencing. Results cDNA with a length of 710 base pairs and an open reading frame of 636 bp was obtained. The deduced amino acid sequence from the open reading frame was found to possess 211 residuals. Sequence analysis demonstrated that this cDNA clone was homologous to the Rab11 subfamily of different species (60% identity and 79% similarity with Arabidopsis thaliana Rab11c, 58% identity and 78% similarity with human Rab11b), and that the amino acid sequence contains all the well known conserved sequence elements of Rab family. Specific Rab motifs were also detected in the deduced amino acid sequence. Phylogenetic analysis showed that its closest homologues are Rab11 proteins from other species. Sequencing of the PCR product of genomic DNA revealed that the genomic DNA sequence encompassing the putative 5'-ATG and 3'-stop codon is identical to the cDNA sequence.Conclusion A cDNA clone corresponding to the T. vaginalis Rab11 gene was obtained.The function of this gene in regulating membrane trafficking pathways of the parasitic protist is still under investigation.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the insertion torque values and primary stability of dental implants using different insertion torque values ,and search for the best insertion torque values that can acquire good primary stability. Methods Six male pure beagles were selected, and the first molars and four premolars of bilateral mandibulars were extracted. Three months later, a total of 48 XIVE dental implants were inserted. All implants were divided into group A, group B, group C, and group D based on the insertion torque value (ITV): group A, 0 < ITV < 20Ncm; group B, 20 ≤ ITV < 40Ncm; group C,40Ncm ≤ ITV < 60Ncm;group D,ITV≥60Ncm The dental implant stability was measured by Resonance frequency analysis when implanrs were placed immediately. Results No complications occured.There was significant difference between group A and grop B (P=0.012), group A and grop C (P=0.037), group A and grop D (P=0.001). There are no ignificant difference among group B,group C and grop D(P>0.05). Conclusion With the limitations of the study, it was concluded the primary stability does not simply depend on the insertion torque;When the insertion torque value was no less than 20Ncm, the dental implant can acquire good primary stability.

The standardized workflow of computer-aided static guided implant surgery includes preoperative examination, data acquisition, guide design, guide fabrication and surgery. Errors may occur at each step, leading to irreversible cumulative effects and thus impacting the accuracy of implant placement. However, clinicians tend to focus on factors causing errors in surgical operations, ignoring the possibility of irreversible errors in nonstandard guided surgery. Based on the clinical practice of domestic experts and research progress at home and abroad, this paper summarizes the sources of errors in guided implant surgery from the perspectives of preoperative inspection, data collection, guide designing and manufacturing and describes strategies to resolve errors so as to gain expert consensus. Consensus recommendation: 1. Preoperative considerations: the appropriate implant guide type should be selected according to the patient's oral condition before surgery, and a retaining screw-assisted support guide should be selected if necessary. 2. Data acquisition should be standardized as much as possible, including beam CT and extraoral scanning. CBCT performed with the patient’s head fixed and with a small field of view is recommended. For patients with metal prostheses inside the mouth, a registration marker guide should be used, and the ambient temperature and light of the external oral scanner should be reasonably controlled. 3. Optimization of computer-aided design: it is recommended to select a handle-guided planting system and a closed metal sleeve and to register images by overlapping markers. Properly designing the retaining screws, extending the support structure of the guide plate and increasing the length of the guide section are methods to feasibly reduce the incidence of surgical errors. 4. Improving computer-aided production: it is also crucial to set the best printing parameters according to different printing technologies and to choose the most appropriate postprocessing procedures.
