BACKGROUND:Recent studies have shown that osteoclast differentiation factor is closely related to osteoclast differentiation, formation and function in bone remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of three kinds of orthodontic appliances on the expression of osteoclast differentiation factor at the pressure side of rat periodontal tissue during remodeling process and to explore the biocompatibility of the orthodontic appliances with the host tissues during orthodontic treatment. METHODS:Eighty healthy Wistar rats were selected to establish animal models of orthodontic tooth movement, and then randomly divided into four groups: control group, MBT group, Begg group, Damon Ⅲ appliance group. Four animal from each group were sacrificed at 3, 7, 14 days after wearing orthodontic appliances. The tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining was used to count the osteoclasts at the pressure side of alveolar bone tissue; real-time quantitative PCR detection to detect mRNA expression of osteoclast differentiation factor at the pressure side of periodontal tissue and time distribution characteristics. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, the number of positive osteoclasts and mRNA expression of osteoclast differentiation factor at the pressure side of the alveolar bone tissue were increased with orthodontic time, reached the peaked at 7 days and then gradualy decreased. The number of positive osteoclastsand mRNA expression of osteoclast differentiation factor at the pressure side of the alveolar bone tissue were significantly higher in the Damon Ⅲ group than the other three groups at 7 days after orthodontic treatment (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that, during the bone remodeling, the number of positive osteoclasts changed in accordance with the mRNA expression of osteoclast differentiation factor, and at 7 days, the number of positive osteoclasts and mRNA expression of osteoclast differentiation factor were highest in the Damon Ⅲ group.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs),a new generation of anti-depressant agent,are mainly used to treat emotional disorders in clinical practice now.Recent studies have found that SSRIs can increase neurogenesis after cerebral ischemia,promote neurovascular reconstruction,and are conducive to the recovery of neurological function.Furthermore,SSRIs can improve the tolerance of ischemic tissue,exert anti-inflammation and anti-oxidation properties,reduce the blood-brain-barrier injury,and inhibit excitatory amino acid toxicity in order to exert neuroprotective effect.This article reviews the related research progress in SSRIs and ischemic stroke.

Objective:Matching pursuit algorithm(MAP),for its good parametric characterization, is applied in Magnetoencephalography(MEG) to study time-frequency distribution. Methods:This paper proposes to apply a high-resolution time-frequency analysis algorithm, the matching pursuit (MP), to extract detailed time-frequency components of SEF signals. Results: Experimental results on cortical SEF signals of several normal subjects show that a series of stable SEF time components can be identified using the MP decomposition algorithm. Conclusion:This study shows that there is a set of stable and minute time-frequency componentsin SEF signals, which are revealed by the MP decomposition. These stable SEF components have specific localizations in the time domain and may provide a reliable index for clinical research of brain function and brain disease pathogenesis.

Objective:To investigate the composition and clinical features of inpatients with congenital heart disease (CHD) complicated with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) from a cardiovascular department.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 238 PAH patients who were identified from 3 674 CHD inpatients in Changhai Hospital during Jan, 2001 to Jul, 2007.Results: Among the 3 674 CHD inpatients who were treated in our hospital in recent 6 years, 238 (6.48%) had PAH.PAH was found in 10.8% of patients with atrial septal defect (ASD), 2.81% of patients with ventricular septal defects (VSD), 5.57% of patients with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), and 19.6% of patients with complex types.The mean age of patients was (45.6?17.7) years, with 49.6% of them being 40-60 years.Female patients accounted for 69.3% of the total.The composition of PAH patients was: ASD (62.6%), VSD(19.7%), and PDA(13.4%).The patients with VSD,PDA or other complex types were younger than those with ASD(P

Objective To analyze the CT features of large adrenal adenoma and to compare the pathological features of large adenoma and small adenoma in order to improve the diagnosis of large adenoma.Methods The unenhanced and enhanced CT images of 14 patients with large adrenal adenoma,proven surgically and pathologically and pathological features of small adrenal adenomas in 30 cases were retrospectively reviewed.The pathological features were evaluated in the cell composition,the incidence of cystic degeneration and hemorrhage of large adenoma and small adenoma.Results 14 large adenomas were unilateral and single,3 had distinct margin and 11 had indistinct margin,14 showed regular contour of round or ellipse,the size of tumors were 5 cm?5.5 cm～18 cm?20 cm.14 large adenomas presened heterogenous density in unenhanced CT study with CT value of-36～51 HU,and 3 showed calcification and 6 showed cystic degeneration.Most of the 14 adenomas presented heterogenenous enhancement after contrast administration.Pathologic examination indicated that the clear cells were predominant in the cell composition of small adenoma,while in the case of large adenoma,the proportion of compact cell predominance was equivalent to that of the clear cell and compact cell concomitance.3 small adenomas and 6 large adenomas had cystic degeneration,5 small adenomas and 4 large adenomas had hemorrhage respectively.Statistical analysis suggested that large adenoma had higher incidence of degeneration than that in small adenoma,while no difference was found in the cell composition and incidence of hemorrhage between large adenoma and small adenoma.Conclusion The large adrenal adenomas have higher incidence of degeneration than that in small adenoma,while no difference is found in cell composition and incidence of hemorrhage between large adenoma and small adenoma.

Objective To discuss the importance of early di agnosis and treatment of primary hy-perparathyroidism in multiple bone resorptions.Methods From April 1997to April 2001,5patie nts were regarded as having multiple bone resorptions.There were 4females and 1male.The age ranged from 25to 46years(average 37years).The mean interval between symptom o nset and final diagnosis was 19.5mon ths(from8to 36months).All patients were suffering from se vere bone pain in need of strong antalgic,and the symptoms including fatigue,depression,loss of appetite and malaise,e tc.Abnormality on bone scan indicated multiple areas of skeletal involvem ent,bone radiographs showed multip le bone resorptions in skull,rib,pelvis and limbs.The range of serum calcium level was 2.27-3.22mmol /L and that o f PTH was 168-214ng /ml.Palpable neck mass was found i n three patients.Results All patients had undergone resectio n of the abnormal parathyroid.Three were parathyroid adenomas and two defined a s hyperplastic glands.All of them had pain relief after operation.The average follow-up was 15months(3-27months);the bone lesions have been repaired partially or totally s hown in X -ray examination during follow-up.Conclusion Clinically,in younger patients with multiple bone resorptions,hyperparathyroidism should be highly suspected,so that timely parathyroid surgery can be ca rried out for the treatment.[

Objective To evaluate method of CT simulation (CT sim) in the treatment planning setup of esophageal carcinoma. Methods From Dec.1999 to Jun.2002, 49 patients with pathologically proved esophageal carcinoma were analyzed. All patients underwent CT sim and treatment planning was configured with three symmetrical fields in the isocenter mode. A few comparisons have been made between CT sim and conventional simulation (Con sim) in the treatment planning setup. Results The difference in isocenter position were observed between CT sim and Con sim with 3～18 mm.When the esophageal lumen was taken as portal center, the 90% isodose curve in 42.8%(21/49) of patients were able to cover the whole lesion. When taking the tumor as the portal center, the whole lesion of all patients was totally covered by the 90% isodose curve. Conclusion The CT sim has an advantage in the delineation of lateral extension of esophageal tumor than the Con sim .Selection of irradiation portal should be done according to the size the silhouette of the tumor.
