Objective To study the efficacy of pelvic reconstruction surgery in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapsey (POP).Methods 18 patients with POP underwent pelvic reconstruction surgery were selected.Clinical parameters during peri-operation were recorded.After 3 months and 6 months,pelvic organ prolapse quantitative examination(POP-Q) and anatomic improvement in these patients were analyzed.Comparisons of pelvic floor distress impact questionnaire short form 7 (PFIQ-7) and quality of sexual life of chinese women questionnaire in these patients before and after surgery were used to evaluate quality of life and quality of sexual life.Results Median operation time was (90.0 ± 13.2) minutes and median blood loss was (30.0 ± 1.2) ml,all the patients were followed.The objective cure rate was 100％.The mean score of post-operative PFIQ-7 were significantly lower than those of pre-operation (P ＜ 0.01),and those of qualify of sexual life of chinese women questionnaire was no significantly difference (P ＞0.05).The rate of mesh crosion was 0,and there was no case of de novo urinary incontinence and de novo dyspareunia.Conclusion Pelvic reconstruction surgery is a safe and efficacious management.It can improve qualify of life remarkably and have no influence on sexual quality of life.

A 27-peptide,a fragment of hepatitis delta antigen(HDAg),was synthesized and used to develop an ELISA method for ihe detection of anti-HD.It was found that positive anti-HD reaction occurred between the coated 27-peptide and a stored sample of serum which was known anti-HD positive.Absorption test revealed that the synthetic peptide competed with natural HDAg for anti-HD,suggesting that the peptide possessed the antigenicity similar to that of natural HDAg.The antigenicity of the synthetic peptide was quite specific wihtout cross reaction with normal human and mouse sera and with anti-HA.anti-HB and anti-HC sera.Among 300 blood donors,there was only 1 case(0.33%)anti-HD positive with an ALT level 2 times higher than normal.In 41 cases of non-B hepatitis and 52 cases of HAV hepatitis,none was anti-HD positive.In 211 cases of various types of HBV hepatitis,21 were(9.95%)anti-HD positive,among whom 2/82(2.5%)werehealthy HBV carriers,6/43(13.95%)were patients with a-cute icteric hepatitis,6/60(10.00%)were patients of chronic active hepatitis,4/18(22.20%)were patients of severe hepatitis,and 3/8(37.50%)were those with liver cirrhosis.These results were consistent with those in our previous reports.

Objective Dickkopf-1 (DKK-1) is an antagonist of the Wnt signaling pathway of bone formation and it is the target gene of TNF.When DKK-1 is inhibited,osteoprotegerin (OPG) would increase,OPG can antagonize bone erosion caused by receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL).Detection the levelsof serum DKK-1,OPG,RANKL and TNF-α of patients with AS before and after applying TNF-α antagonist,the effects of anti-TNF-α treatment on signaling pathway of bone formation was explored.Methods Medical records and serum samples of 43 AS patients receiving TNF-α receptor-Ⅱ IgG Fc fusion protein for 12 weeks were collected and the levels of serum DKK-1,OPG,RANKL and TNF-α were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Paired t-test and Person's correlation analysis were used for data analysis.Results Disease activity indexes in AS patients with anti-TNF-α treatment,including VAS score,time of morning stiffness,BASDAI,BASFI,ESR and CRP,which were [(2.7±2.0) cm,(7±4) min,1.1±1.1,0.8±1.2,(10±9) mm/1 h and (16±26) mg/L] respectively,were reduced when compared with those before treatment,[(7.6±1.9) cm,(46±33) min,6.0±1.3,4.4±2.0,(39±29) mm/1 h and (76±43) mg/L] respectively,and the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05).Serum levels of DKK-1,(3.3±1.5) μg/L vs (3.2±1.3) μg/L,OPG,(144±71) pg/ml vs (136±62) pg/ml,and RANKL,(71±37) pg/ml vs (68±30) pg/ml,were not changed (t=14.043,8.031,20.166,13.521,7.679,9.563,all P＞0.05).The levels of TNF-α increased from (1.9±1.3) pg/ml to (55.0±50.6) pg/ml (t=6.951,P＜0.05).There were no relations between DKK-1 and TNF-α,RANKUOPG,patient VAS,duration of morning stiffness,BASDAI,BASFI,ESR and CRP,allP＞0.05.Conclusion Clinical indicators are improved significantly by anti-TNF-α therapy; however,it should not be withdrawal suddenly.There is no relationship between serum levels of DKK-1 and level of inflammation in AS patients.

Malignant transformation is closely related to gene mutations.The tumor suppressor gene p53 codes for a transcription factor,P53 protein,plays a critical regulation role in oncogene expression,DNA synthesis and repair systems,and cell apoptosis.It has been demonstrated that p53 mutation occurs in more than 50% of cancer cells,which is thought to play a crucial role in malignant transformation.p53-based gene therapeutical approaches in vitro and in vivo aiming at a direct correction of the specific molecular defect in p53-mutated malignant cells,showed notable efficacy in numerous cancer types.In this review,we discussed the current advances in this field,focusing on adenovirus-mediated wild-type p53 gene therapy.

OBJECTIVE To investigate changes in Beijing dentists′ infection control(IC) practices in 2000 vs 2005.METHODS Data from questionaires of 647 dentists in 2000 and 592 dentists in 2005 were compared by using descriptive statistics and Person′s ?2.RESULTS Their response rates were 95.00%(2000) and 93.00%(2005).There were improvements in 2005 vs 2000 in reports of routine use of gloves(94.59% vs 73.31%);masks(56.78% vs 13.94%);and protective gown(38.87% vs 14.51%);change of gloves after each patient(93.47% vs 63.25%);vaccination for hepatitis B virus(HBV)(73.60% vs 32.66%);autoclave sterilization of dental handpieces after each patient(95.07% vs 41.24%);flushing waterlines after each use(70.78% vs 42.01%);and high-volume suction(44.92% vs 11.19%).CONCLUSIONS The compliance with recommended infection control procedures among Beijing dentists is improving in 2005 vs 2000.More education and inspection is needed to develop the infection control practices in dental health care settings.

砄bjecat:To study the correlatiom between stress and structure of one piece spiral implant.Methods: The morphology of alveolar bone was selected by CT around the first molar of mandible and around the incisor of maxilla of a healthy man in the position of normal occlusion. Cortical bone with the thickness of 1～2 mm was used to make the alveolar bone model. The one piece spiral implants with root, in the shape of cylinder, length of 10,12, 13 and 14 mm, corona height of 4 and 9 mm,diameter of 3.6,3.7, 3.8,3.9 and 4.0 mm were prepared respectively. The implants were put into the alveolar bone models and a load of 200 N was applied vertically, or 45 ℃ obliquely or 45℃ non center obliquely. The stress on the implants was measured and studied with 3D FEM. Results:The stress on the implants was inversely correlated to the length and diameter in the place of front teeth and molars except non centeraly obliquely loading to molar. The greatest stress was found around the neck of the implants. The distribution and intensity of the stress were related to the way of loading and the elastic modulus of bone. Conclusion:The length and diameter of one piece implant are the factors correlated to the stress on the implant and surrounding bone.

Subclinical thyroid dysfunction including subclinical hypothyroidism and subclinical hyperthyroidism, subclinical hypothyroidism is more common in the general population. Subclinical thyroid dysfunction may increase the incidence of risk factors of stroke, like hypertension, diabetes melitus, dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis, atrial fibrilation, homocysteinemia and so on. Subclinical thyroid dysfunction may be associated w ith the outcomes in patients after acute ischemic stroke.
