Objective To analyze Vitamin D nutritional status of children and their height growth relationship in Wanzhou dis-trict of Chongqing .Methods Electrochemiluminescence immunoassay method was used to detect serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D [25 (OH) D]concentrations in 2 727 Children from Wanzhou district of Chongqing ,analyzing the correlation of Vitamin D and children age ,gender ,height ,parental height and other factors .Results There was significant difference in serum level of 25(OH) D among different age groups(P<0 .01) ,there was significant difference between boys and girls among the same age groups of 5 months ,6 months ,4 years old ,5 years old .Children′s height consistented with the national average 4 -6 years ago in Wanzhou District ,but Since then ,gradually felled behind .After adjustment for age ,sex ,parental height ,measured seasonal and other factors ,serum 25 (OH) D concentration was positively correlated with height (r=0 .462 5 ,P<0 .01) .Conclusion 25(OH)D levels were closely re-lated with the development of children′s height .Thus ,children generally poor 25(OH)D nutritional status in Wanzhou district should arouse the attention of parents and clinicians .

BACKGROUND: Miniscrew plant attachment to maxillary sinus is an important factor for implant safety and bone density can influence implant stability. Studies have explored implantation location of implant anchorage, such as bone thickness or bone density. However, the idea on implantation angle remains controversial. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between miniscrew implant in the interradicular space between the second premolars and the first molars in the maxilla and the maxillary sinus as well as bone density in the surroundings. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Observation experiment was performed at dinan University from October 2007 to May 2008. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 38 patients with cone beam CT data were selected from Uni-Care Dental Center, Macao, including 11 males and 27 females, aged 18-35 (24.8±3.8) years. METHODS: Three dimensional images were reconstructed from cone beam CT images. For each subject, the buccolingual bone thickness was measured by postulating that the miniscrews would be inserted at 16 positions (10, 12, 14 and 16 mm above the median sagittal planes of the interradicular spaces between the first molars and the second premolars in the maxilla, and 30°, 45°, 60°, 90° from the cortical bone surface). The danger rate representing for implantation sites where buccolingual bone thickness was less than 6 mm was calculated. The density of the bone around the entire circumference of each miniscrew was also measured. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Height of maxillary sinus, buccolingual bone thickness at implantation sites and bone density. The implantation sites could be divided into three groups. Group 2 exhibited the greatest danger rate and bone density and group 1 had the lowest danger rate and bone density.
