BACKGROUND:It needs strong anchorage for shifting mandibular molar in orthodontics,which is a difficult problem to clinical orthodontic doctors.OBJECTIVE:To evaluate clinical effects and the characters by micro-implant anchorage during mandibular molars mesialization in Class Ⅰ malocclusal patients.METHODS:A total of 24 micro-implants were embedded mandibular bones between mandibular second premolar and mandibular first premolar of 15 Angle Ⅰ malocclusal patients as clinical anchorages for mesializing mandibular molars.The position changes of mandibular molars were measured from mesiodistal direction and vertical direction,and the implant anchorage loss was evaluated by maxillary central incisor.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The course of treatment was 10.4 months,and the velocity of mandibular second molar mesializing was 0.8 mm per month,with 8.5 mm in mesiodistal direction,there was no changes in the vertical direction.The distal tipping angle of molar was 2.5°,and the mandibular central incisor did not move.The method successfully mesialized mandibular molars to appropriate positions.No anchorage loss was found,The implant plays absolute anchorage during mandibular molar mesialization.

Objective: To find out the relation factors of hyperuricemia in cadres. Methods: The cadres who had health check on 2008 were analyzed. Results: The rate hyperuricemia in cadres of Zhuhai city was 35.42%. Conclusion: The rate of hyperuricemia in cadres is increasing by ages. It has the relations with sexual distinction, overweight or obesity, abnormal triglyceride and high purine-food.

BACKGROUND: Critical closing pressure (CCP) is recently thought to play a key role in cerebral blood flow autoregulation as an effective downstream pressure of cerebral circulation and can objectively reflect the cerebrovascular tone, namely the vascular smooth muscle contraction and diastole, which is subjected to dynamic modulation.OBJECTIVE: To dynamically assess the hypertension-induced damage of the contraction function of cerebral microvascular smooth muscles and its correlation with morphological changes based on CCP evaluation.DESIGN: Randomized controlled experiment.SETTING: Institute of Neural Science of Second Hospital Affiliated to Guangzhou Medical College and Department of Neurology, First Hospital Affiliated to Sun Yet-san University.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out at the Laboratory of Physiological Science of Sun Yet-san University between July 2002 and August 2003. Totally 160 health male SD rats were randomized into control group and hypertension group with 80 rats in each group. METHODS: Stroke-prone renovas cular hyp ortonsive rats were established in rats of the hypertension group by bilateral renal artery occlusion with two clips. The rats in the control group were not subjected to the occlusion with other treatments identical to those of the hypertension group. At the time points of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 weeks after operation, respectively, 10 rats were randomly selected from each of the two groups for determination of arterial pressure and CCP. After the measurements the frontal-parietal lobe was obtained from the anaesthetized rats and cut into slices for quantitative analysis of the morphological changes in cerebral microvessels.different postoperative time points.mean arterial pressure in hypertension group obviously increased from the 6th postoperative week with significant difference from that of the control after operation to a level significantly higher than that of the control group at postoperative 14 and 16 weeks [(63.75±7.43) vs (37.28±3.68) mm Hg and (67.37±15.57) vs (38.39t7.41) mm Hg, respectively, P ＜ 0.05].significance from that of the control group at the 8th postoperative week (Paverage arterial pressure and cerebral arteriole tunica media (r=0.906 93,0.811 36, respectively, P ＜ 0.05). The changes in CCP was more obvious in the early and advanced stages of blood pressure elevation, but not so manifest during obvious blood pressure increment, displaying an inverted S-shaped curve of changes (R2=0.996 2, P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: Contraction of the cerebrovascular smooth muscles is enhanced with the dynamic increment of arterial pressure after the development of hypertension. Vascular tone increase is more manifest during the early and advanced stages of hypertension.

Objective To probe into the effect of systematic nursing model on treatment compliance and clinical efficacy of elderly patients with diabetes. Methods 100 elderly patients with diabetes in our hospital were selected from January 2008 to December 2010.The patients were divided into the study group and the control group randomly,50 cases in each group.The patients in the control group were treated with conventional care model,while the patients in the study group were treated with systematic nursing model.The compliance,clinical treatment effect,and improvement of clinical indicators were compared and ana lyzed in two groups respectively. Results Compared with the control group,treatment compliance indexes such as self-monitoring,diet control,medication compliance,exercise therapy in the study group were significantly improved,the difference was statistically significant.Compared with the control group,the clinical efficacy of patients in the study group was significantly improved.Compared with the control group,the FBG,PBG and HbAlc were improved significantly,the difference was statistically significant. Conclusions Systematic nursing model plays a positive role in promoting treatment compliance and clinical effects of elderly patients with diabetes mellitus.The interventions need to be further enriched and perfected.

Objective To investigate the effects of sensory cueing (SC) on unilateral spatial neglect after stroke.Methods Five stroke survivors with unilateral spatial neglect underwent a tailored sensory cueing treatment (wearing a sensory cueing device 3 hours a day, 5 days a week for 2 weeks) in addition to their conventional rehabilitation.Two weeks before and one day before the treatment, and then one day, two weeks and 4 weeks after the treatment, all five patients were assessed using the Hong Kong edition of the behavioral inattention test (BIT-C).Results No significant changes were identified in the average BIT-C ratings at the two time point before the intervention.However, the average score had increased significantly only one day after the start of the intervention, with further significant improvement at each of the succeeding 2 week intervals.The greatest improvement was in finishing cancellation tasks, and the most severely affected patient showed the greatest improvement.Conclusion Sensory cueing treatment may be useful and feasible in reducing unilateral spatial neglect for stroke survivors.However, randomized and controlled trials with larger samples are needed to further verify its effects.

Advancements in technology have enhanced the performance of pacemakers but made the interaction between the pacemaker and the heart becoming increasingly complex, and its is difficult to interpret the paced ECGs (PGCGs).
