BACKGROUND: Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is a new inorganic trioxide polymer. Previous studies indicated that MTA as a root tip material had good edge closeness as compared to silver amalgam and vitreous enamel-cementum.OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of anti-micro-osmosis of metal dowel pins cemented by MTA.DESIGN: Comparative observational study.SETTING: Jingzhou Central Hospital of Hubei Province.MATERIALS: Thirty-two submaxilla first premolars which were pulled out by the orthodontic treatment in 2004 of the hospital were selected, of which teeth were intact, dental roots were stout, straight and unbroken. MTA was provided by Dentsply Co., USA; zinc phosphate cement by Shanghai Dentistry Material Station; glass ionomer cement by Shanghai Qingpu Dentistry Material Station; EB composite resin by the Fourth Military Medical University Oral Medical Hospital.METHODS: Having been filled by traditional technique, 32 fresh single-rooted permanent teeth were randomly divided into 4 groups and cemented in casting dowel pins separately with four cements-zinc phosphate cement, glass ionomer cement, EB composite resin and MTA groups with 8 in each group. And then the dye penetration method was used to test the micro-osmosis of these cements.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Micro-osmosis of the four cements.RESULTS: MAT as a cement had the minimum micro-osmosis while zinc phosphate cement had the maximum osmosis. The depth of osmosis that ranked from minimum to maximum was MTA

Objective:To discuss the value of ultrasonography for tethered spinal cord syndrome (TCS).Mothods:Ultrasonic features of 31 patients with TCS were analyzed.Pre-and post-operative blood flow rates of cone were recorded by color Doppler and compared.Results:Ultrasound could present the image of pathology of TCS.The study could show the lack of pulsatile motion of distal cord with TCS.Before the operation blood flow rates of cone are 0.048?0.015m/s.After the operation blood flow rates of cone are 0.156?0.027m/s.The above results were significantly different ( P

This paper presents the ultrastructrual changes of male rats gonadotrophs at 7, 15, 30, 50 days after cadmium chloride (Cd) injection (2mg/kg). The differences of morphometric parameters of gonadotrophs and plasma value of FSH were revealed by statistics.The results showed that no injured alterations were found in gonadotrophs but appeared castration like features. These changes feature were most prominent after 15 days and then recovered to normal gradually. The main alterations of gonadotrophs were dilatation, and proliferation and decrease in the specific surface of RER as well as there were low density materials in the dilated cisterna. The numerical and volume density of large and small secretion granules were decreased greatly in all of the treatment groups. The variance of diameter of the large and small secretion granules were not conspicuous and the differences of volume and numerical density of the mitochondria among the control and treatment groups were also no significance. The hypertrophy of Golgi complex of the gonadotrophs were very obvious and the number of the gonadotrophs were increased in the Cd treated rats. The plasma value of FSH measurement indicated that the FSH level increased after 7days and the highest value appeared after 15 days. However, it did not return to normal after 50 days. These results suggested that gonadotrophs were not susceptible to Cd. The hypertraphy, hyperplasia and increase in synthesis and secretion of the gonadotrophs resulted from feedback by the effect of Cd induced injury on testes.

Objective To explore the effect of health education path on care and household rehabilitation in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Methods 100 CP children from June to December, 2012 were divided into experimental group (n=50) and control group (n=50). The control group was given conventional health education, while the experimental group along with the health education path. Mastery rates of disease knowledge and family rehabilitation methods, cooperation rate, and care satisfaction rate of parents was assessed before discharge.Results Mastery rates of disease knowledge, family rehabilitation methods, cooperation rate, and care satisfaction rate of parents were higher in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Application of health education path can rule the health education of nurses, and improve the CP patient's satisfaction and compliance.

BACKGROUND:Exosome, a kind of cystic vesicle with bilayer structure, is widely distributed in the body fluids. Exosomes are involved in various cel ular communications, and its contents including proteins, short chain peptides, DNA, RNA, phospholipids, and miRNA are resistant to degradation.
OBJECTIVE:To clarify the characters of exosomes, and to investigate the possibility of exosomal miRNAs as biomarkers for different diseases to provide a new strategy for clinical diagnosis.
METHODS:A computer-based search of CNKI and PubMed databases was performed by the first author for articles related to exosomal miRNAs. The keywords were“exosome, microvesicles, extracel ular vesicles, miRNA, biomarker, early diagnosis, progrosis”in Chinese and English, respectively. Total y 50 eligible articles were included in result analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After reviewing researches of exosomes in different diseases, we can confirm that exosomes broadly participant in physiological and pathological process of various system diseases. The abnormal expression of exosomal micro-RNAs has been identified in many studies, indicating the exosomal micro-RNAs have a great potential to be biomarkers for disease diagnosis. Further studies should focus on extracting the contents of exosomes, the pathogenesis of exosomes is involved in and screening the appropriate exosomal miRNAs for early diagnosis.

Based on the construction and its rational theories of Habermas's living-world,this paper analyzes the characteristics of plague and adjusts them according to Chinese social framework and realistic conditions during plagues.The social rescuing system and its sociological rational evolution style are also analyzed based on the functional framework of government,social culture and individuals.Individual's life style and behaviors have both been adjusted due to high pressures of plagues and government's standardization and interferences to the plagues.But seen in the long run,rational evolution of individual's life style depends on the accumulation of time,civilization,and the recognition of medical ethics among general public.

Postoperative pain is an important factor which affects patients'postoperative rehabilitation training.With the application of ultrasound guided nerve block and multimodal analgesia,the quality of postoperative pain management has improved obviously among patients after foot and ankle surgery.The study has reviewed the related research.
