Objective; To investigate the immunolocalization and significance of Notch-2 expression in the process of dental pulp repair after injury. Methods: An experimental animal model of injury-induced pulpitis was established to observe the time-sequenced alteration of the expression of Notch-2. Results: Three days post-operation, weak positive staining of Notch-2 was observed in pulp mesenchyme cells and pulp fibroblasts but not in vascular endothelial cells or odontoblasts. Five days post-operation, strong Notch-2 reactivity was found in subodontoblasts as well as newly bom capillary endothelial cells. Seven days after cavity preparation, Notch-2 staining became weaker in pulp mesenchyme cells and capillary endothelial cells, but stronger positive staining was found in odontoblasts. Two weeks post-operation, weak Notch-2 staining was seen in pulp mesenchyme cells and subodontoblastic layer cells and was absent from odontoblasts. Notch-2 immunoreactivity was completely absent in intact rat dental pulp. Conclusion: Notch-2 is strikingly up-regulated in dental pulp mesenchyme cells in the early days after dental injury and then shows progressively up-regulation in odontoblasts. Properly regulated activation of Notch signaling pathway is important for controlling cell fate and maintaining the correct balance among cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis during dental pulp repair process.

Objective To assess the role of hip ultrasonography in the early screening and following up of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Methods A total of 1324 hips of 662 infants younger than 6 months underwent ultrasonography with Graf method. The sonographic appearances of bony roof, superior bony rim, cartilaginous roof, as well as α and β angle measurements were classified according to the Graf method. Risk factors such as gender, sides, fetal position, and swaddling used were assessed. Following up were performed with ultrasonography in the cases of immaturity, dysplasia and dislocation that needed to be monitored or treated. Results Detection rate of selective ultrasound in screening of DDH of the hip was 7.42%. Both gender and fetal position was the risk factor of DDH. Twenty-seven infants with dysplasia hip and five with dislocation hip were followed-up with ultrasonography during treatment process. Thirteen infants with dysplasia turned to normal after abduction exercises, while other fourteen received treatment in Pavlik harness for no improvement in ultrasonography. All infants of dislocation received operation eventually because of failing to Pavlik harness. Conclusion Ultrasonography can objectively assess the development of DDH, monitor the course of following-up and treatment of DDH, and serve as a main tool in the early screening and following up of DDH in infants.

BACKGROUND: Most studies believed that lesion sites are decisive to the attack and types of aphasia, which is also in disputation.OBJECTIVE: To classify and evaluate aphasia with CT and MRI examinations, so as to reveal the association between aphasia types and lesion sites.DESIGN: A cross-sectional study.SETTING: Department of Neurology, Beijing Tiantan Hospital affiliated to Capital University of Medical Sciences.PARTICIPANTS: The lesion sites were selected from 1 198 patients with cerebral infarction, who were hospitalized in the stroke unit of the Department of Neurology, Beijing Tiantan Hospital affiliated to Capital University of Medical Sciences between February 2002 and February 2005, the diagnosis accorded with the diagnostic standard of cerebral infarctionset by National Meeting for Cerebrovascular Disease, and the patients with cerebral infarction were caused by lesions of left cerebral hemisphere ry school and above, the intellect was normal before attack, and there was score of Western battery aphasia was > 93.8. Totally 221 males and 104 females were enrolled, and the average age was (68.72±4.56) years.and received MRI examination within 1 week after admission. The data collection and treatment were finished with the Siemens Trio 2003T magaphasia of the patients was classified and evaluated with the Western battery aphasia by professional language therapist within 2 weeks after adtic aphasia examination severity grading standard by the same language therapist on the same day of Western battery aphasia. There were 6 grades, grade 0 was taken as meaningless language or auditory understanding ability, and grade 5 as extremely few differentiable language disorders, the patients could feel some difficulties subjectively, but the hearer was uncertain to obviously detect.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Association between aphasia types and lesion sites; Grading of aphasia severity. Aphasia not caused by the involvement of language centers: Of the 1 198 patients with cerebral infarction, the Broca area in 5 cases and Wernicke area in 4 cases were involved, and did not cause aphasia syndrome in the Western battery aphasia showed that 83 cases had Broca aphasia, 48 cases Wernicke aphasia, 58 cases complete aphasia, 12 cases conduction aphasia, 36 cases transcortical motor aphasia, 17 cases transcortical sensory aphasia, 19 cases transcortical mixed aphasia and 52 cases nominal aphasia. The lesions located at typical language center in 240 cases and at nonaphasia examination severity grading standard: It was grade 0 in 84 cases, grade 1 in 79 cases, grade 2 in 77 cases, grade 3 in 63 cases and grade 4 in 22 cases, and the typical language centers were involved in most of the patients of grade 0 and grade 1.CONCLUSION: The association between types and lesion sites of most aphasia are in accordance with the typical aphasia mode, but it was not completely accordant in a few aphasias, the lesion of non-language centers can also cause aphasia, and the aphasia is greatly severe in the patients with the lesion site of language centers.
