Dens invaginatus is an unusual malformation.The difficulty in recognizing a tooth with dens invaginatus frequently results in the delayed diagnosis followed by unpromising treatment outcome because the abnormality cannot be seen until the tooth is involved with pulp necrosis even apical periodontitis.The application of CBCT scanning and dental microscope is playing a significantly important role in both diagnosis and treatment of dens invaginatus.This paper presents 2 cases with dens invaginatus which were well diagnosed and properly trea-ted,reviews the pathology and intends to get the principle ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of dens invaginatus.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus Nao Xue Shu oral liquid in treating vascular dementia (VD) due to blood stasis blocking collaterals. Method A total of 135 patients with VD due to blood stasis blocking collaterals were randomized into a basic group, a medication group, and an acupuncture-medication group, 45 cases in each group. The basic group was intervened by conventional treatment, while the control group was additionally given Nao Xue Shu oral liquid, and the acupuncture-medication group was additionally intervened by acupuncture plus Nao Xue Shu oral liquid, 60 d as a treatment course. The Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE), Brief Screening Scale for Dementia (BSSD) and the syndrome of blood stasis blocking collaterals subscale in the syndrome differentiation scale of vascular dementia (SDSVDA) were scored before and after the treatment, and the changes of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), lipid peroxidation (LPO) and serum uric acid (SUA) were also observed. Result One case dropped out in the basic group. After 60-day treatment, the total effective rate was 91.1%(41/45) in the acupuncture-medication group, significantly higher than 65.9% (29/44) in the basic group (P<0.01) and 75.6% (34/45) in the medication group (P<0.05). The improvements of MMSE, BSSD and SDSVDA scores in the acupuncture-medication group were more significant than those in the basic group and medication group (P<0.05). The improvements of CGRP, LPO and SUA levels in the acupuncture-medication group were superior to those in the basic group and medication group (P<0.05). Conclusion Traditional acupuncture method plus Nao Xue Shu oral liquid can produce a significant efficacy in treating VD due to blood stasis blocking collaterals.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the relationship between the ear protective measures during winter swimming and the prevalence, severity of the incidence of external auditory canal exostoses. METHOD: Three hundred and fifteen people who enjoyed swimming were recruited as research subject (62.2% males and 37.8% females; age distribution: 4.4% were ≤ 40, 40.3% were 41 to 60, and 55.2% were > 60 years). People fill in the questionnaires including personal information, the ear protection measures, the time of winter swimming, the history of ear infections and so on, and questionnaires were correlated with otoscopic findings. We classify external auditory canal exostoses according to the degree of the stenosis of external auditory canal s. Grades of normal,mild, moderate and severe corresponded to 100%, 99% to 66%, 65% to 33%, and less than 33% respectively. RESULT: Of 110 ears with exostoses, 63.6% were mild, 23.6% were moderate, and 12.7% were severe. Among the group of without ear protection during winter swimming, about 33.0% have auditory canal exostoses and 4.6% were severely affected. In comparison, in the group that had ear protection, only 2.8% had external auditory canal exostoses and no one had severely obstructed auditory canal. CONCLUSION A negative association exists between the ear protection measures during winter swimming and the prevalence and severity of exostoses of the external auditory canal. That means taking ear protective measures when having winter swimming can prevent the onset of the external auditory canal exostoses and reduce its severity.
