Objective:To compare the adaption of cobalt-chromium prostheses fabricated by selective laser melting(SLM)and conven-tional lost wax technique(LW)method.Methods:Cobalt-chromium crowns and three-unit fixed dental prostheses(FDPs)were fabrica-ted by selective laser melting(SLM)or by conventional lost wax technique(LW)respectively(n =5).Marginal fit and internal fit were examined using a light-body silicone.After setting,each silicon film was cut into 2 parts and the thickness of silicon layer was measured at 1 00 ×magnification using a digital microscope,the data of marginal gap(MG)and internal gap(IG)were statistically analysed by ANOVA and SPSS statistical package version 1 7.0.Results:The MG and IG(μm)of cobalt-chromium alloy crowns in EOS M270 group were 42.28 ±1 1 .58 and 1 25.75 ±47.67,in EOS M280 group 46.54 ±8.4 and 1 28.22 ±54.1 8,in LW group 48.66 ±1 2.08 and 1 35.37 ±46.89.The MG and IG(μm)of three-unit FDPs in EOS M270 group were 40.55 ±1 0.04 and 1 33.09 ±39.80,in EOS M280 group 45.36 ±1 0 and 1 38.94 ±50.61 ,in LW group 54.24 ±1 2.04 and 1 51 .87 ±61 .94(P <0.05),respectively.Conclu-sion:The marginal fit of the SLMgroup is superior to that of the LW group and significantly smaller than 1 20 μm of clinical generally accepted standards.SLMsystem can satisfy the clinical requirements.

Objective:To compare the marginal and internal fit of selective laser melting(SLM)titanium crowns with lost-wax cast (LW)titanium crowns.Methods:Titanium crowns of 10 subjects were fabricated by SLM and conventional LW respectively(n =10).The marginal and internal gaps of the crowns were recorded with silicon film using a replica technique.Each silicon film was cut into 2 parts and the thickness of silicon layer was measured at ×100 magnification using a stereomicroscope,the data of marginal gap (MG)and internal gap(IG)were statistically analysed by ANOVA and SPSS statistical package version 17.0.Results:The MG (μm)of the titanium crowns of SLMgroup and LMgroup were 90.67 ±14.7 and 94.77 ±21.9(P <0.05),IG were 213.73 ±90.4 and 217.00 ±97.7(P >0.05),respectively.Conclusion:The marginal fit of the SLMcrowns is better than that of the LW ones,and is significantly smaller than 120 μm of the clinical generally accepted standards.

The Guarding field theory is a unique theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of surgical diseases such as scabies, sores and gangrene. The hooping in place is the best performance of Guarding field theory. This paperreviews the research progress of Guarding field theory from the aspects of theoretical research, basic research, clinical research in recent years, which shows the connotation of this theory has been expanded. and the generalized concept of Guarding field theory refers to human's healthy Qi, and the field theory has been widely used in treating diseases likemalignant tumor, postoperative anorectal infection, refractory wound to guide clinical treatment.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of Chonghe soft extract on ulcer wound healing in diabetic rats through protein kinase B(Akt)/mammalian Sirolimus target protein(mTOR)-mediated nucleotides binding oligomeric acid domain-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)inflammasome inactivation.Methods Thirty six SD rats with diabetic ulcer,which were established by feeding with high glucose and high fat diet and injecting intraperitoneally with streptozocin(STZ)combined with skin defect,were randomly divided into model group,Chonghe soft extract group and growth factor group,with twelve rats in each group.Another twelve SD rats were injected an equal dose of citric acid-sodium citrate buffer solution and used as blank group.The blank group and the model group were not received drug intervention,but the Chonghe soft extract group and the growth factor group were externally applied Chonghe soft extract and growth factor gel,respectively.The wound healing of each group was observed and recorded.After 7 days and 14 days of treatment,the histopathology of wound were observed by HE staining and the number of fibroblasts were counted.The levels of IL-1β,IL-18 and TNF-α in serum were detected by ELISA.The expression of autophagy-related protein Beclin-1 and LC3Ⅱ in granulation tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry.The expression of NLRP3,apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain(ASC),Caspase1,Pro-Caspase1 and Akt/mTOR autophagy pathway-related proteins Akt,p-Akt,mTOR and p-mTOR were detected by Western Blot.Results Compared with the blank control group,the pathological wound repair of the model group was delayed on the 7th day and 14th day,the number of fibroblasts per unit area was decreased(P<0.01).The levels of IL-1β,IL-18 and TNF-α were increased(P<0.01).The expression levels of ASC,Pro-Caspase1,Caspase1,and NLRP3 were increased in the wound tissues(P<0.01),while the expression levels of Beclin-1,LC3-Ⅱ,mTOR,p-mTOR,Akt and p-Akt were decreased in the wound tissues(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the pathological injury in Chonghe soft extract group and growth factor group was significantly improved on the 7th day and 14th day.The number of fibroblasts per unit area was significantly increased(P<0.01).The levels of IL-1β,IL-18 and TNF-α were significantly decreased(P<0.01).The expression levels of ASC,Pro-Caspase1,Caspase1,and NLRP3 in the wound tissues were decreased(P<0.01),while the expression levels of Beclin-1,LC3-Ⅱ,mTOR,p-mTOR,Akt and p-Akt were increased(P<0.01,P<0.05).Conclusion Chonghe soft extract can reduce inflammatory reaction,promote the generation of fibro,regulate the Akt/mTOR-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome inactivation,improve the level of autophagy in wound,and promote ulcer wound healing in diabetic rats.
