Journal of Peking University(Health Sciences) 2016;48(1):111-115
Objective:To investigate the compensation of the anterior alveolar bone thickness in skeletal class Ⅲ patients treated with orthodontic-surgical treatment.Methods:The samples consisted of 54 ske-letal classⅢpatients treated with orthodontic-surgical treatment.Lateral cephalograms were taken before treatment.Descriptive statistics were calculated for corresponding variables,and the differences between the samples and the norms from Peking University normal occlusion sample library were assessed by inde-pendent-sample t test.Correlation analyses were performed to find associations between skeletal charac-teristics and anterior alveolar bone thickness.According to skeletal anteroposterior discrepancy/vertical type (ANB,criteria=-4°;SN-MP,criteria=37.7°),the samples were allocated into group A (severe anteroposterior discrepancy/hypodivergent vertical type,n=1 1 ),group B (moderate anteroposterior dis-crepancy/hypodivergent vertical type,n=1 6),group C (severe anteroposterior discrepancy/hyperdiver-gent vertical type,n=1 4),and group D (moderate anteroposterior discrepancy/hyperdivergent vertical type,n=1 3),and one-way ANOVA with SNK multiple comparison test were performed.Results:The anterior alveolar bone thickness of the skeletal class Ⅲ patients were thinner compared with norm values (P<0.05 ).Correlational analyses showed that,both the upper and lower anterior alveolar bone thick-ness was correlated with the skeletal vertical discrepancy (P<0.05 ),but the anteroposterior type was only correlated with the lower anterior alveolar bone thickness (P<0.05).For the 4 groups according to skeletal anteroposterior discrepancy/vertical type,hypodivergent vertical type had thinner lower ligual and total bone thickness (LP,LW,P<0.05).while for upper alveolar bone thickness (UW),group C and group B exhibited the thinnest and thickest (the values of UW were 7.86 mm and 9.05 mm).Conclusion:The upper and lower anterior alveolar bone thickness of skeletal classⅢpatients are thinner compared with normal occlusion.Different skeletal anteroposterior discrepancy/vertical type results in differences in the anterior alveolar bone thickness,so decompensation should be treated differently and carefully.

Recent studies suggest that changes of cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) could be observed postoperatively, which reflects the degree of damage to saccule caused by cochlear implant (CI). The waveform of cVEMP can display the influences of surgical methods, ear disease condition, machine status and other factors on saccule, therefore it shows important clinical value in diagnosis and treatment. Two possible changes of cVEMP may be observed after CI. One is negative response and the other is impairment, which reflects surgical injury to saccule with varing degree. However, a uniform quantitative conclusion in cVEMP parameters is still expected. By reviewing the studies in cVEMP of CI reciepients, a typical changing pattern was discovered and a more comprehensive understanding about vestibular changes after cochlear implant was achieved.

Objective: To study the role of mechanical stress on osteoblast-like characteristics expressed by human periodontal ligament cells in vitro. Methods: Human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLC) were cultured by explant method. We investigated the gene expression for osteoblast-like marker proteins in periodontal ligament stimulated by cyclical mechanical force in vitro by in situ hybridization with non-radioisotopic oligonucleotide probe for alkline phosphatase (ALP) and osteocalcin (OCN). Results: Human periodontal ligament cells exhibited a stronger signal for ALP mRNA stimulated by cyclical mechanical force, and exhibited a moderately intense positive signal for OCN mRNA—OCN was a marker of differentiated osteoblast-like cells. Conclusion: These findings suggest that mechanical force plays role in differentiation from hPDLC to osteoblast-like cells.

Objective To investigate and analyze the clinical learning environment and professional identity among undergraduate nursing students, and discuss the relationship between two variable, so as to provide basis for ensuring the stability of the nursing staff. Methods 288 undergraduate nursing students who were practicing in Tianjin 3A grade hospital were evaluated using questionnaires about clinical learning environment and professional identity. The correlation analysis was performed between two variable. Besides, multiple regression analysis was used to identify factors that affect the nursing students′ professional identity. Results The total score of 288 nursing students′clinical learning environment and their professional identity was (3.44±0.66) points and (3.65±0.55) points respectively, which were at the middle level. The score of clinical learning environmental was positively correlated with professional identity score (P<0.01). The result of multiple regression analysis showed that professional selectivity had influence on nursing students′ professional identity. With controlling the demographic variables, undergraduate nursing students′ clinical learning environment could explain 58.2% of professional identity. Conclusions Undergraduate nursing students′ clinical learning environment and professional identity are at the middle level. Hospitals should pay more attention to the relationship that clinical learning environment have influence on undergraduate nursing students′professional identity.Measures should be taken to ensure the stability of the high-quality nursing personnel.
