Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2003;0(10):-
Objective:To presents a new way of constructing post crowns for the anterior maxillary teeth which had the subginginval crown fracture more than 3 mm.To discusse the difficulties in the restoration of the subgingival residual roots and residual crowns of anterior maxillary teeth,and to explore the principles of the new restoration by the casting post-core and the porcelain fused mental crowns with wings. Methods: 23 patients(26 teeth) which had crown fracture more than 3 mm under the gingival were enrolled in this study.After those residual roots and crowns were endodontically treated following the conventional root canal therapy,the casting post-core and the porcelain fused mental crowns with wings were applied to reconstructing those missing crowns. Results: After 3 months to 5 years clinic observation,restored crowns were still stable with good retention and fracture resistance. Conclusion: Those residual roots and crowns can be preserved by this innovative way and can also acquire satisfactory effects in esthetics and functions.

Objective To analyze the characters of occlusal contact in patients with severe tooth wear. Methods The characters of occlusal contact in 20 cases with severe tooth wear and 20 persons with normal occlusion were measured with T-Scan Ⅱ occlusal analysis system. Results The offset degree in quantitative analysis showed that the offset in transversal and offset distance of center of force in the group with severe tooth wear[ ( 10. 5 ± 1.5 )mm, ( 12. 0 ± 1.3 ) mm ] were larger than control group [ (4. 5 ± 0. 8 )mm,(6. 5 ±0. 8)mm]. Occlusion time in severe tooth wear group[ (0.45 ±0.07)s]was shorter than control group(o)(0.78 ±0.06)s]. Lateral disclusion time in severe tooth wear group[ ( 1. 50 ±0. 08)s, ( 1.50 ±0.10) s ] was longer than control group [ ( 0. 93 ± 0. 07 ) s, ( 0.90 ± 0.11 ) s ]. Incidence rate of lateral occlusal interference in severe tooth wear group(70%) was higher than control group( 10%) (P <0.05). Offset in vertical of center of force [ ( 4.9 ± 1.0 ) mm ], protrusive disclusion time [( 1.02 ± 0. 09 ) s ], incidence rate of premature contact and protrusive occlusal contact interference( 20% ,30% ) showed no significantly statistical difference between two groups [ (4. 7 ± 0. 6 ) mm, (0. 96 ± 0. 06 ) s, 10% , 10% ] ( P >0. 05). Conclusion There were some differences in the characters of occlusal contact in patients with severe tooth wear.

Objective To investigate the levels of peripheral blood CD8+ CD28- regulatory lymphocytes and their clinical values in the patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Method From October 2005 to August 2008, 51 patients with active rehpsing-remitting MS were enrrolled from Department of Neurology of the First Affil-iated Hospital of Wenzliou Medical College. The diagnostic criteria for MS were the 2005 revisions to the "McDon-ald criteria". All the admitted patients received 1 g of methylprednisoione per day intravenously for 5 days, fol-lowed by 60 mg prednisone per day orally for 12 days,and tapered in 6 weeks. Fourteen patients were reevaluated after corticosteroid therapy. Twenty healthy individuals ,as normal controls,matched for age and sex with the MS patients were also enrolled in this study. The percentages of peripheral blood T cells (CD8+ CD28-, CD8+CD28+, CD8+, CD4+ CD8-) were measured by flow cytometric analysis. Parametric statistical analysis were per-formed using standard methods, and linear regression analysis was conducted using Pearson correlation test. Re-sults (1)Compared with controls,the patients with active MS had significantly lower percentage of CD8+ CD28-T cells [(18.48±9.89)% vs. (24.48±4.86)%, P <0.01], and higher percentage of CD8+ CD28+ T cells [(12.23±4.31) % vs. (8.55±3.49) %, P <0.01]. (2)The percentage of CD8+ CD28- T cells was negative-ly correlated with that of CD4+ CDS- T cells (r = -0.488, P < 0.01). (3) After corticosteroid therapy, the per-eentage of peripheral blood CD8+ CD28- / CD8+ CD28+ T cells didn' t significantly decrease or increase in 14 ac-tive MS patients (P > 0.05). Conclusions The decrease of peripheral blood CD8+ CD28- regulatory T cells might be associated with the pathogenesis of MS, and CD8+ CD28- regulatory T cells perhaps played their roles through CD4+ T cells. Corticosteroid therapy could not reverse the levels of CD8+ CD28- T cells.
