Objective:To retrospectively evaluate the safety,technical success rate,and effectiveness of ultratranscatheter tumor feeding arterial embolization with ethanol and lipidol for SHCC,and to explore the new therapy for SHCC. Methods:To 95 cases carry out hepatic selective arterial angiography for SHCC by CT or MRI be diagnosed and clinical very doubt be SHCC,after was diagnosed by DSA,to transcatheter ultraselective subsegmental feeding artery with microcatheter for tumor,employ ethanol and lipidol (1/1) to full fill embolized 143 tumors. Results:Technical success rate was 100% for the ultraselective subsegmental feeding artery transcatheter and embolizatoin in SHCC,There were no major complications in all cases.Before embolization ,the diameter of tumors were 0.5~3cm,average diameter 2.3 cm. after tumors were embolized,average diameter 1.2 cm. The 1,3and 5 year recurrence rates were 19%(18/95),27%(26/95),37%(35/95),and the survival rates were 100%(95/95),85%(81/95),67%(64/95) respectively. Conclusion:Its effectiveness was very notable,there were no major complications and recurrence rates was less than surgical resection in ultraselective transcatheter tumor feeding arterial embolization with ethanol and lipidol for SHCC,It should become the first selective therapy for SHCC.

All-ceramic dental materials could meet the requirements for extraordinary aesthetics and ex-cellent biocompatibility in vivo, thus are widely utilized in prosthetic dentistry. Since the all-ceramic materials have low strength reliability and the disadvantage is recently concerned, the relevant research has been the focus in the area. The purpose of this artical is to review the relevant studies and with focus on the factors that influence the strength including material component, microstructures and manufacture process, as well as strength improv-ing approaches such as ingredient alteration, fabrication optimization and surface treatment. As for various strength testing methods, all the existing test methods are compared and evaluated.

Titanium & titanium alloy are popular in dentistry as dental material because of their good mechanical properties and extremely good biocompatibility. The bonding strength between the titanium and the resin agent is the decisive factor in evaluating the success of resin-bonded restoration. Appropriate surface treatment on the titanium is an effective way to reinforce the bending strength. The purpose of this review is to summarise the relevant studies and introduce some latest findings.

Syncope is a common pediatric emergency event,which can be caused by various metabolic disorders different from other illness. The major metabolic anomalies include hypoglycemia, hyperventilation,electrolytes imbalance,hypoxemia and others, in which hypoglycemia is caused by hyperinsulinemia,pituitary and adrenal disease, diabetes, ketotic hypoglycemia, inherited metabolic disorders of sugar, organic acids and amino-acids,etc. This article introduced the common metabolic anomalies and their causes,diagnosis and therapy.

To examine the role of glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) in the apoptosis of pancreatic beta-cells to better understand the pathogenesis and to find new approach to the treatment of type 2 diabetes, apoptosis was induced by oleic acid (OA) in INS-1 cells and the activity of GSK-3 was inhibited by LiCl. The PI staining and flow cytometry were employed for the evaluation of apoptosis. The phosphorylation level of GSK-3 was detected by Western blotting. The results showed that OA at 0.4 mmol/L could cause conspicuous apoptosis of INS-1 cells and the activity of GSK-3 was significantly increased. After the treatment with 24 mmol/L of LiCl, a inhibitor of GSK-3, the OA-induced apoptosis of INS-1 cells was lessened and the phosphorylation of GSK-3 was increased remarkably. It is concluded that GSK-3 activation plays an important role in OA-induced apoptosis in pancreatic beta-cells and inhibition of the GSK-3 activity can effectively protect INS-1 cells from the OA-induced apoptosis. Our study provides a new experimental basis and target for the clinical treatment of type-2 diabetes.
