Objective:To examine the relation between the alteration of condylar endochondral in response to mandibular protrusion and the action time length by establishing a model of mandibular protrusion on young adult rats. Methods: 75 female Sprague-Dawley rats aged 9 weeks were divided into two experimental groups and one control group. In two experimental groups, bite jumping appliances created forward positioning of the condyle for twelve hours and whole day, respectively. The experimental rats, together with the control rats, were sacrificed on days 3, 7, 14, 21 and 30, respectively. Tissue sections were cut in the sagittal plane through the mandibular condyle and were processed for in situ hybridization and immunostaining of type X collagen. Results: The peak of type X collagen protein expression in 24-hour experimental groups appeared on day 21 which was on the top of all experimental groups, while in 12-hour experimental groups it was found on day 30. The results of in situ hybridization were basically in agreement with the results of immunostaining. Conclusion: Both intermittent and continuous mandibular advancement can provoke endochondral ossification in young adult rat condylar, while 24-hour ones can produce more obvious and quicker effect.

Objective:To investigate the effects of extraction orthodontic treatment on the upper airway dimensions in young adult patients with malocclusion,and to evaluate the relationship between changes in the craniofacial morphology,position of incisor and upper airway dimensions.Methods:26 patients with upper and lower first premolar extraction and 21 patients without extraction were recruited.Cephalometry and dental cast analysis were performed pretreatment and posttreatment.Results:No statistical difference was found in the parameters of the upper airway dimensions in both non-extraction group and extraction group after treatment.In linear correlation analysis,SPAS was positively correlated with cephalometric variables U1-Y and L1-Y.MAS and IAS was positively correlated with cephalometric variables SNB,U1-Y and L1-Y.The multiple regression analysis revealed that the change of U1-Y had a significant positive effect on SPAS and IAS,and the change of L1-Y also had a significant positive effect on SPAS and MAS.Conclusion:The upper airway dimensions can not be altered during extraction orthodontic treatment,while the changes of incisors are significant associated with the change of the upper airway dimensions.

Fifty-six hypertensive diabetic patients (glyeosylated hemoglobin A1c<7%)with albuminuria were randomly assigned to benazepril (10 mg/d,n=28) or amlodipine (5 mg/d,n=28) group.Blood pressure was measured at the end of 4-week treatment.Benazepril and amlodipine were increased to 20 mg/d and 10 mg/d respectively when blood pressure>130/80 mm Hg.All the patients were treated for 12 weeks.In both groups,plasma yon Willebrand factor and urine albumin decreased significantly from baseline.Except for urine albumin,no significant inter-group difference in plasma van Willebrand factor and target blood pressure was observed.Benazepril and amledipine seem to show similar efficacy in lowering blood pressure and improving endothelial function,but benazepril may be more effective in kidney protection.

Objective Through comparision of HER2/neu status detected by immunohistoehemistry (IHC),fluorescence insitu hybridization(FISH)and chromogenic insitu hybridization(CISH),to explore the clinical significance of FISH and CISH on detecting gene status of HER2.Methods Sixty-four paraffinembedded breast samples whose pathological types were infiltrating ductal carcinomas were tested by IHC for HER2 protein overexpression and CISH,FISH for HER2 gene status.The rate of chromosome 17 polysomy was also analyzed.Results Among the cases of HER2 protein overexpression(+++)group,the concordant ratios of IHC and CISH.FISH detecting HER2/neu status were 100%.Among the cases of HER2 protein overexpression(++)group,the concordant ratios were 95.83%and 91.67%.Among the cases of HER2 protein overexpression(+/-)group,the concordant ratios were also 100%.One case in which FISH and CISH were performed yielded the different results.so the general coincident rate was 98.41%.The incidence of chromosome 17 polysomy Was 45.16%,45.83%and 11.11%in three IHC(+++,++,+/-)groups,and the total incidence was 40.62%.ConclusionIHC is a preliminary screening method;HER2 gene status detected by CISH and FISH have high concordant ratio,CISH is a more convenience and viable method to detect HER2/neu status,when doubling interference of fichromosome 17 polysomy,we need to select FISH further.

The therapeutic approaches for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)patients with solitary bone metastases include surgery,radiotherapy,chemotherapy and so on.Recently,molecular targeted therapy such as the Denosumab has become a new option.Though there are so many options,the outcomes of the NSCLC with bone metastases are not so good.But for those with solitary bone metastases,radical treatment is necessary to improve the survival time and prognosis.

ObjectiveThe purpose of the study was to summarize the characteristics of cellular and humoral immunity in children with Kawasaki's disease (KD),and to explore the role of cellular and humoral immunity in the pathogenesis of KD.MethodsOne hundred and ninety-six subjects with KD were diagnosed and observed.The serum IgG,IgM,IgA and C3,C4 levels were detected by velocity scatter turbidimetry.The levels of T lymphocyte subsets,natural killer cells (NK cells),and B cells were analyzed by flow cytometry.Chi-square test,independent t-test and Spearman analysis were adopted to analyze data.ResultsOne hundred and seventy-two cases were diagnosed as typical KD,24 cases were incomplete KD,17 cases were refractory KD,179 cases responded to IVIG therapy,and 34 cases were CAL.The occurrence of coronary artery lesion (CAL) in the refractory KD group was 52.9%,which was evidently higher than those patients responding to IVIG therapy(14.0%,P<0.05).In the group of KD,the level of CD19 absolute value(1165±556)/μl was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05),the ratio of CD4/CD8 (2.19±0.77) was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05),the levels of serum IgM ( 1.41 ±0.45) g/L,IgA (0.81 ±0.35) g/L,C3 ( 1.31 ±0.26) g/L were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05),the levels of CD8 (671±308)/μl,NK (337±233)/μl absolute value were lower than those in thc control group (P<0.05).In refractory KD subgroup,the levels of CD19 absolute value,serum IgM,C3 and the ratio of CD4/CD8 were higher than those in the subgroup responding to IVIG therapy(P<0.05),while the levels of CD8,NK absolute value were lower than those in the latter(P<0.05).In the CAL subgroup,the levels of CD19 absolute value,serum IgM,IgA and the ratio of CD4/CD8 were higher than those in the non-CAL subgroup (P<0.05),while the levels of CD8,NK absolute value were lower than those in the latter(P<0.05).The differences of all data between typical KD subgroup and incomplete KD subgroup were insignificant (P>0.05).The severity grade of CAL was positively correlated with the ratio of CD4/CD8(P<0.05).ConclusionThere are cellular immunity and humoral immunity disturbances in the acute stage of KD,while cellular immunity disturbances are more striking.Cellular immunity and humoral immunity are all involved in the pathogenesis of KD.The immunity dysfunction is more significant in refractory KD and CAL.The occurrence rate of CAL is high in refractory KD.The ratio of CD4/CD8 is relevant to the severity of vascular injury.
