Objective To evaluate the indications and effectiveness of lower incisor extraction in orthodontics.Methods Twenty-three adult patients with lower incisor extraction were included in the study.The cases consisted of 14 female and 9 male patients with an average age of 23.2 years at the start.One single lower incisor was extracted in 17 patients and the other tow upper premolars were extracted in 6 patients.Cephalometric and casts analyses were carried out.Results Total treatment time was 13-23 months.All extraction space was closed after the treatment.All patients achieved satisfactory treatment results,with normal overbite and overjet and stable occlusal relationship.There were no significant changes before and after treatment on cephalometric analysis.The intercanine width was reduced by from pretreatment to posttreatment [(26.89--2.89) mm vs (23.92-t-1.54) mm (P＜0.05)].Conclusions The intercanine width is reduced after lower incisor extraction.In order to achieve satisfactory clinical effect,we should carefully select cases and pay attention to the corresponding techniques and methods.

Objective To evaluate incisor root resorption of adults with skeletal classⅢmalocclusion through three-dimensional reconstruction of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) image using interacting medical imaging control sys?tem (Mimics) and then offer guidance for labially tilted angle control in orthodontic treatment and distance of bone moving in surgery. Methods Adults of skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion (n=30) who underwent orthodontic-orthognathic combination treatment were included in this study. CBCT images were then reconstructed three-dimensionally using Mimics 10.01. Each incisor were separated at cementum-enamel junction as crown and root. Labially tilted angle and root volumes of each inci?sor were measured before and after operations. At last, the correlativity between root resorption and labially tilted angle was calculated through statistic analysis. Results The decrement of upper, lower and front incisors’root volumes upon treat?ment is statistically significant. However, there is no statistically significant difference of incisor ’s root volumes among eight incisors nor between different gender. There is linear correlation between root volumes and labially tilted angle when the lat?ter changes 7° or more when they followed the fomular =-21.416+5.618X. Conclusion For adults with skeletal classⅢmalocclusion, orthodontic treatment before orthognathic surgery decrease incisor root volumes when labially tilted angle changes 7° or more.

Objective To investigate the change and correlation between hard-tissue and soft-tissue in patients with class III malocclusion after premolar extraction treatment. Methods Thirty-four adult patients with skeletal classⅢmalocclusion who met the including criteria were included in this retrospective study. The lateral cephalographs were traced and analysed before and after the treatment. Results After orthodontic treatment,the values of long axis of upper incisors and S-N angle (U1-SN) and long axis of lower incisors-mandibular plane (L1-MP) were decreased, and the angle of man-dibular plane (MP-FH) was increased (P<0.01). The SL line was used as a reference, the protrusion of upper incisor (UI-SL) and upper lips (UL-SL) was decreased, and the protrusion of lower incisors (LI-SL) and lower lips (LL-SL) was also de-creased after orthodontic treatment (P<0.05 or P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the relevant measurements of chin. The retraction of upper incisor (△UL-SL) was the only measurement that was positively correlated with upper lip re-traction (△UI-SL). The retraction of upper incisor (△UI-SL) and lower incisor (△LI-SL) were positively correlated with the lower lip retraction (△LL-SL). There was a positive correlation between△UI-SL and△LL-SL. Conclusion The soft-tissue profile improved significantly after four premolars extraction. The change of soft-tissue profile was moderate correlated with hard-tissue.

Objective: To examine the effects of ? carotene and ? tocopherol on LDL oxidation by monocyte derived macrophages from SD rats (in DMEM medium). [WT5FZ]Methods: Macrophages were incubated with LDL in DMEM in which freshly dissoved VE (40,100,200 ?mol/L) and ?C (0.5,1.0,2.0 ?mol/L) had been added. After incubating for 24 h, the mediums were centrifuged to determine TBARS and lipofusin and dienes. [WT5FZ]Results: Supplementation of ? tocopherol significantly decreased TBARS, lipofusin and conjugated dienes production and electrophoretic mobility. Supplementation of ? carotene at 0.5 ?mol/L significantly decreased TBARS, lipofusin and conjugated dienes production and electrophoretic mobility, but other levels showed no effect. Increasing ? carotene concentration to 2.0 ?mol/L in the system increased the lipofusin production compared with control group. ? tocopherol at 200 ?mol/L and ? carotene at 0.5 ?mol/L were the most effective in all dose groups. [WT5FZ]Conclusion: Cell mediated oxidation of LDL can be regulated by antioxidants such as ? tocopherol and ? carotene.

Objective:To investigate the effect of VE and VC at different dietary levels on plasma lipid metabolism, lipid peroxidation and mRNA of scavenger receptor (SR). Methods:Male SD rats, fed purified and cholesterol enriched diet, were divided into five groups(12 rats per group). The experimental groups were fed diets with either VE(150 or 350 mg/kg diet) or VC (1 000 or 2 000 mg/kg diet) respectively. The experiment lasted 56 days. Results:Compared with control group, both VE and low dosage VC could significantly lower the concentrations of total cholesterol(TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL C), atherogenic index (AI),Apo B and lipoperoxide, and increase the levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL C), and inhibit the expression of SR mRNA..Conclusion:VE and VC can decrease the concentrations of serum TC and LDL C,restrain formation of Ox LDL and expression of SR mRNA.

MicroRNA-224 plays an important role in the carcinogenesis of hepatoma via regulating the expression of its target genes directly or indirectly.

BACKGROUND: 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) is universally used as an antineoplastic agent in gastrointestinal cancer, but the side effect of it confined further clinical application. OBJECTIVE: To determinate mice plasma concentration curves for 5-Fu and its chitosan (CS)-polyaspartic acid (Pasp) nanoparticles, and to investigate their primary pharrnacokinetics. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Randomization control animal trials were performed in the Department of Gastroenterology, Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University between October 2006 and June 2007. MATERIALS: Totally 180 female Kunming mice were obtained from the Department of Laboratory Animal, Fudan University. 5-Fu (purity 99%) was purchased from Shanghai Xudong Haipu Pharmaceutical Co, Ltd (Shanghai, China). Two kinds of CS-Pasp-5-Fu particles were offered by Department of Macromolecular Science, Key Laboratory of Molecular Engineering of Polymers of Educational Ministry, Fudan University (Shanghai, China). METHODS: Kunming mice were randomly divided into three groups and each group was administrated with 5-Fu or either type of its CS-Pasp-5-Fu nanoparticlos. The plasma concentrations of 5-Fu were evaluated by high performance liquid chromatography after 15 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, 16 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours of the administration. The pharmacokinetic parameters were computed utilizing 3P97. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Relative recovery, absolute recovery and the stability of samples. RESULTS: The peak concentration of 5-Fu group occurred within 15 minutes and then decreased rapidly. The No.1 nanoparticles group's peak concentration occurred 6 hours after the administration and the effective concentration time lasted for about 14 hours. No.2 nanoparticles group's concentration curve was double-apex, the apexes occurred around the 2 hours and 16 hours, the concentration decreased at the 24 hours after the administration. Both of the two kinds of the nanoparticles groups' peak concentration of 5-Fu in plasma are lower than the 5-Fu group, The half-life times were prolonged and the areas under curve were higher. CONCLUSION: Compared to 5-Fu, the CS-Pasp-5-Fu nanoparticles are controlled released.
