BACKGROUND:Scholars have carried out a lot of research on the main cariogenic microorganisms, but there is stil no comprehensive and systematic evaluation. OBJECTIVE:To perform an evidence-based medicine analysis on the six main cariogenic microorganisms. METHODS:Literature about microbial factors and age factors of caries disease etiology were retrieved, which were published from 2011 to 2014 in the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, PubMed, Wanfang, China Biology Medicine disc (CBMdisc), Chinese Journal Ful-text Database (CJFD) and VIP. Eligible studies were divided into two groups according to absorbance values: observation group (higher absorbance value) and control group (lower absorbance value). The probability of dental caries under the impact ofStreptococcus mutans, Lactobacilus microbe,Prevotela,Selenomonas,Capnocytophaga,Veilonelawere statisticaly analyzed using Meta-analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Eight articles were included in result analysis. Odds ratio (OR) values refer to the statistical difference in the probability of dental caries under same pathogenic factors between two groups:OR > 1 indicates the incidence of dental caries is higher in the observation group than the control group, andOR < 1 suggests the incidence of dental caries is lower in the observation group than the control group. Meta-analysis results showStreptococcus mutans (OR=2.41),Lactobacilus microbe (OR=1.68),Prevotela (OR=2.75),Capnocytophaga (OR=1.98),Selenomonas(OR=2.38), indicating that the probability of dental caries is higher in the observation group than the control group, and these microorganisms are greatly correlated with the occurrence and development of dental caries;Veilonela (OR=0.45), indicating the probability of dental caries is lower in the observation group than the control group, andVeilonela has smal correlation with dental caries and only plays an important role in a certain development stage of dental caries.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of bamboo-circled salt-partitioned moxibustion in treating arthritis of temporomandibular joint.Method Eighty patients were randomized into two groups. Forty cases in the bamboo-circled salt-partitioned moxibustion group received bamboo-circled salt-partitioned moxibustion at temporomandibular joint; forty cases in the warm needling group were intervened by selecting Xiaguan (ST7), Ashi point, etc. at the affected side. For the two groups, 3-day treatment was taken as a treatment course, and the therapeutic efficacy was analyzed after 2 treatment courses. The improvements in pain and mouth opening were observed before and after the treatment, and the treatment efficacy was evaluated by a 1-month follow-up study.Result The bamboo-circled salt-partitioned moxibustion group was superior to the warm needling group in comparing the real-time analgesic effect (P<0.05) and in the improvement of mouth opening (P<0.05); the comprehensive markedly effective rate was respectively 67.5% and 45.0% in the bamboo-circled salt-partitioned moxibustion group and warm needling group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), indicating that bamboo-circled salt-partitioned moxibustion is better than warm needling in treating arthritis of temporomandibular joint; the follow-up study revealed satisfactory therapeutic efficacies in both groups: the effective rate was 92.5% in the bamboo-circled salt-partitioned moxibustion group versus 87.5% in the warm needling group, and the difference was statistically insignificant (P>0.05).Conclusion Bamboo-circled salt-partitioned moxibustion can produce a real-time analgesic effect and improve mouth opening; it's especially suitable to treat the patients who are afraid of needling, as it's significantly effective, safe, non-invasive,and easy-to-operate.

Assessment mode is a bottleneck in medical education reform nowadays.Although traditional assessment tools,such as written examination,are still widely used in medical education assessments,they have obvious limitations.With the enhancement of requirements in physicians' abilities,assessments on some basic abilities of physicians are still insufficient.The United States and Europe not only focus on the curriculum reform but also the development of appropriate assessment tools,therefore,some new assessment tools are invented.These assessment tools are applicable to the formative assessment and are student-centered,being able to promote the development of education and provide new options for medical education assessments.

A cold saponification method for determination of 5 lutein stereoisomers in dairy products by high performance liquid chromatography ( HPLC ) was developed. Samples were cold-saponified at room temperature and extracted by n-hexane/petroleum/dichloromethane ( 2: 2: 1 , V/V/V ) . Then 5 lutein stereoisomers were separated on a YMC C30 column with gradient elution using methanol/methyl tert-butyl ether as the mobile phase, and data were acquired by a photodiode array detector at wavelength of 445 nm. The calibration curve was linear in the range of 0 . 127-5 . 082 mg/L with correlation coefficient of 0 . 9999 , and the recoveries were from 96 . 7% to 102 . 2% with the RSDs in the range of 4 . 1%-5 . 4% ( n=6 ) . The limit of detection was 0 . 010 μg/g ( S/N=3 ) , and the limit of quantification was 0 . 030 μg/g ( S/N=10 ) . By presenting results of good accuracy, precision and sensitivity, this method validates its suitability for routine analysis of 5 lutein stereoisomers in dairy products.

Aim To investigate the protective effect of cinnamic aldehyde ( CA ) on hormone-induced osteo-clasts proliferation and bone resorption in vitro and its molecular mechanisms. Methods RAW264. 7 cells induced into osteoclast were treated with RANKL and M-CSF and then were divided into control group, dexa-methasone ( DEX ) group and different doses of CA (11. 6, 23. 2, 46. 4 μg·L-1 ) groups. OCs were ob-served after tartrate resistant acid phosphatase( TRAP) staining. The cell proliferation was determined by MTT assay at different time points. The expression levels of TRACP5 b in cell cultured supernatants were measured by ELISA. RT-PCR technique was applied to examine the transcriptional levels of RANK and NFATc1 . Re-sults In MTT assay, the proliferation of osteoclasts stimulated by dexamethasone was promoted seriously compared with negative control group ( P < 0. 05 ) . Meanwhile, DEX could strengthen the content of TRACP5 b and up-regulate the expressions of RANK and NFATc1 mRNA. After administration of CA, the proliferation was inhibited, while the enhanced expres-sion of TRAP5b was reversed,and the over-expressions of RANK and NFATc1 mRNA were obviously down-regulated in a time-and-dose-dependent manner ( P <0. 05 ) . Conclusion The results suggest that CA in-hibits proliferation and bone resorption of osteoclast in-duced by DEX, which may be mediated by down-regu-lation of RANK and NFATc1 mRNA.

AIM: To evaluate the prophylactic effect of aminophylline on the pulmonary hypertension rebound reaction to exposure to NO in the hypoxic pigs. METHODS: The 10 pigs undergone Swan-Ganz catheter, the mPAP was measured with a Physio-recording instrument and PaO 2 was measured with a blood gas analyzer, when breathing NO for 30 minutes and suddenly stopping breathing NO, administing aminophylline 0.25 g, followed by 30 minutes with room air. The respiratory rate and heart rate were also monitorried with a Hewlett-Packard portable monitor. RESULTS: The mPAP of the acute hypoxic pig was induced significantly after breathing 10 -5 NO. When suddenly stopping breathing NO, the induced mPAP became more and more high, the level of the mPAP in 5 minutes was similar to the values before absorbing NO, the mPAP in 10 minutes was higher than values before absorbing NO, while the level of PaO 2 was lower than the values before absorbing NO; but suddenly stopping breathing NO, administing aminophylline, although the induced mPAP became high, the speed was slower than the controls, the level of the mPAP in 30 minutes still was lower than the values before absorbing NO. CONCLUSION: Aminophylline has preventive effects on the pulmonary hypertension rebound reaction to exposure to NO in the hypoxic pigs.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of immunological reconstitution of T-cell subsets and the role of Cornus,a Chinese medicinal herb on T lymphocytes in mice after irradiation (IR). Methods:Irradiated model mice were exposed to a single dose of X-ray radiation (2. 6 Gy) with or without Cornus treatments. Bloodroutine was examined before or after irradiation. CD3+,CD4+, CD8+ T cells and Th1, Tc1, Th2, Th17, Treg from spleen or peripheral blood were determined by flow cytometry. Results: Total lymphocytes and CD3+T cells including CD4+T and CD8+T cells,were significantly reduced 3 days after irradiation (P<0. 05). The re-constitution of CD3+ T cells ( especially CD8+T cells ) started from 5 days post irradiation, CD4+T cells increased 8 days after irradiation. However,the production of IFN-γ by Th1 or Tc1 cells were evidently decreased compared with control group even 8 days post irradiation (P<0. 05). In contrast to Th1,Th2/Th17/Treg were observably increased in irradiation group (P<0. 05). But the percentage of Th1 was obviously increased, and Th2, Th17, Treg were markedly decreased in cornus treated mice compared with irradiated mice (P<0. 05). Conclusion: The immunological reconstitution of T lymphocytes started from 5 days after total irradiation with rapid recovery of CD8+ T cells but not CD4+T cells. Cornus effectively improved the imbalance of T cell subsets by promoting the proliferation of Th1 and suppressing Th17 and Treg.

In November 2011, a 7-year-old child with shoulder avulsion was treated in the Department of Hand and Foot Microsurgery, Xi’an Fengcheng Hospital with debridement, transfer of free anterolateral thigh flap(ALTF) and decompression with forearm incision. After operation the limb survived. Six months after surgery, the function of right shoulder abduction was reconstructed by transposition of trapezius muscle. At the 11 years after surgery, the length of the limb on the affected side was slightly shorter than that of the healthy side. The circumference of forearm was slightly less than that of the healthy side. The pain, touch and temperature sensations were recovered. The TPD was 15-20 mm, and the skin temperature on both sides of the limb was normal. The shoulder abduction reached 30°. The muscle strength of elbow and wrist flexions reached grade Ⅴ with the recovered wrist pronation and all digit flexions. The affected limb can cooperate with the healthy limb to complete all daily duties.
