BACKGROUND:Precision attachment has been widely used in complete denture because of its strong retention, good appearance, comfort and durability. Among them, magnetic attachment and bal-cap attachment are commonly applied for mandibular complete denture.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the clinical effects of magnetic attachment, bal-cap attachment and traditional clasp retainer used in the mandibular removable partial denture.
METHODS:A total of 45 patients with dentition defects were included in this study, they were treated with magnetic attachment, bal-cap attachment and traditional clasp retention of mandibular removable partial denture. Fifteen patients received one means. The satisfaction of patients and the periodontal health of abutments were observed after 3 years.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Comparison of the patient satisfaction showed that, the aesthetics, retention conditions, masticatory function and comfort in magnetic attachment group were significantly better than traditional clasp retention group (P<0.05). The aesthetics and comfort in bal-cap attachment group were also better than traditional clasp retention group (P<0.05). There were significant differences on the retention conditions and comfort between magnetic attachment group and bal-cap attachment group (P<0.05). Gingival index was the highest in magnetic attachment group, then in bal-cap attachment group, and the lowest in traditional clasp retention group (P<0.05). The abutment tooth mobility degree was the lowest in magnetic attachment group, then in bal-cap attachment group, and the highest in traditional clasp retention group (P<0.05). The periodontal pocket depth in magnetic attachment group and bal-cap attachment group was lower than that in traditional clasp retention group (P<0.05). The alveolar bone height was the highest in magnetic attachment group, then in bal-cap attachment group, and the lowest in traditional clasp retention group (P<0.05). Experimental findings indicate that, precision attachment over-denture retention superior to traditional clasp removable partial denture in mandibular denture repairing. Magnetic attachment can provide better retention power and better protect the health of periodontal tissue compared with bal-cap attachment.

Sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) refers to the percentage of DNA strand breaks in the total sperm. Many studies suggest that elevated DFI can lead to male infertility and early spontaneous abortion. High-DFI patients are more likely to fail in assisted reproduction and preliminary treatment or prevention methods have been developed for this population. This review focuses on the impact of DFI on clinical pregnancy outcomes and progress in the studies of its treatment.

Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2016;51(11):910-914
OBJECTIVE: To research and regulate the crystal quality of alanylglutamine for improving their stability and pharmacodynamics as well as vacuum freeze-drying efficiency. METHODS: Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffractometer (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analyzer (TG) as well as lyophilized experiments were used to investigate the effect of pre-freeze method on crystallinity and uniformity of particle size of alanylglutamine. RESULTS: The result of SEM revealed that the lyophilized alanylglutamine with accelerated pre-freeze method is small-size particle with low crystallinity. Then the lyophilized alanylglutamine with multi-step annealing pre-freeze method become uniformly large particle with high crystallinity. The RESULTS of XRD and DSC indicted that, comparing with the lyophilized alanylglutamine with accelerated pre-freeze method, the lyophilized sample with multi-step annealing pre-freeze method is easier to form the crystal medicine with uniform particle size, less crystal defects, high crystallinity. And the former has lower stability than the later. CONCLUSION: The final lyophilized experiment give us a CONCLUSION that using the multi-step annealing pre-freeze method can improve the freeze-drying efficiency and crystal quality of alanylglutamine, which to achieve the ultimate goal of cost and energy saving.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the exerted force in different phases of the female menstrual cycle, as well as the changes in estrogen (E2), osteocalcin (OCN), receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL), and osteoprotegerin (OPG) levels in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) during orthodontic tooth movement, to provide a theoretical basis for the selection of the best opportunity for efficient tooth movement.
METHODSTwelve women (aged 18 years to 28 years) with extracted first premolars had been selected. Six women in the group were randomly selected as the menstrual period group, whereas the remaining six were assigned to the ovulation period group. Right canines were retracted with 1.5 N NiTi close coil spring. GCF samples were collected prior to the force exertion experiments at 0 (T0), 15 (T1), 30 (T2), and 45 d (T3). The levels of E2, OCN, OPG and RANKL in GCF were measured by chemiluminescence and enzymelinked immunosorbent assay.
RESULTSThe E2 and OCN levels were significantly higher in the ovulation period group than in the menstrual period group (P < 0.05). No significant differences were found in RANKL and OPG levels between the two groups (P > 0.05). Finally, no significant difference was found in RANKL/OPG ratio between the two groups (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONExerted force on teeth during the menstrual period may promote rapid tooth movement.

Objective To make a futher understanding of the CT features of primary carcinoma of vagina and to explore the clinical value of CT diagnosis of it.Methods Sixteen cases of primary cacinoma of vagina with clinical and CT data confirmed by pathology were analyzed retrospectively. The CT findings were observed in a double blind method by three experienced radiologists together and formed a consensus interpretation. Results The accurate rate of CT diagnosis for primary carcinoma of vagina was 81.3% in the 16 cases. There were 2 stage I, 6 stage II, 4 stage III and 4 stage IV lesions which were diagnosed by CT. The numbers of cases of the elevated type, ulcerative type and infiltrative type were 11, 3, and 2,respectively. The transcatherter internal pudendal arterial chemoembolization were successfully performed in 2 patients with vaginal carcinoma. Conclusion CT is not only a non-invasive method of detecting primary carcinoma of vagina,but also play an important role in differentiating the clinlcal phase and type of it. In more advanced stages of vaginal carcinoma, interventional therapy is chosen as the useful treatment to avoid exenterative surgery, preserve anatomy and function.

Oleic acid was injected intravenously into 29 dogs to induce the experimental 'Respiratory Distress Syndrome'. The chest x-ray manifestations of RDS were observed and analyzed. Correlating the x-ray findings with the findings of patho-anatomical examination, which was done on the killed dogs, the authors tried to investigate the pathogenesis of RDS. Meanwhile the diameter of the first branch of either inferior pulmonary artery was measured to determine the variations of the contractions of the pulmonary arteries.Finally the therapeutic effect of anisodamine and dexamethasone was compared. It seemed that the effect of the former was better than that of the latter from our preliminary trial.

Objective To investigate the histological changes of rapid tooth movement in dogs treated by resistance reduction and distraction osteogenesis, aiming to establish an animal model and further to reveal the remodeling mechanism of rapid tooth movement. Methods A total of 8 local hybrid dogs were selected as subjects for this study. The second pre-molar was extracted on both sides. The experimental side underwent alvelor surgery for resistance reduction and a home-made tooth-borne intraoral distraction device was installed for rapid tooth movement, while for the other side (control side) only tooth-borne intraoral distraction device was used for rapid tooth movement. The longest active force-delivery span was 2 weeks, followed by 6-week retention. The distance between the moved tooth and anchor unit was recorded weekly, and radiography was performed for each side before and after distraction. The surrounding tissues including periodontal ligament and alveolar bone were sectioned for histological analysis. Results The average distance of tooth movement was 3.55mm on the experimental side and 1.11mm on the control side. The rate of tooth movement was notably higher (P<0.01) and no significant apical root resorption was detected by X-ray on the experimental side. The active alvelor bone remodeling was found on the tension and pressure sides. However, there was no significant difference between the experimental side and the control side after the retention period. Conclusion The rate of orthodontic tooth movement can be accelerated through resistance reduction and periodontal distraction without any unfavorable effects but at minimal anchorage loss.
