BACKGROUND: Preplant diagnosis and rigorous implant strategy based on multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) imaging can improve success rate of mini-implants as anchorage. Effective application of imaging information in implant anchorage requires reliable tools and methods.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the accuracy of the radiographic and tunnel-type surgical templates assisting implant anchorage surgery and evaluate the clinical significance.METHODS: The transparent radiographic templates were made with occlusal rest to assist MSCT to scan two pigs' skulls locatively. After designed the implant anchorage angles in MSCT images accurately, we made the tunnel-type surgical template by angle data. A total of 32 miniscrews were implanted by surgical template, and the two pigs skulls were rescanned by MSCT. After dissected the pig alveolar process, the MSCT preoperative planning angles, the MSCT postoperative measurement angles and the measurement angles of anatomic bone samples were analyzed statistically. RESULT AND CONCLUSION: The 32 miniscrews were implanted successfully. They did not damage dental roots or surrounding important structures. Compared MSCT preoperative planning angles with MSCT postoperative measurement angles and anatomic bone samples measurement angles, there were no significant differences on axial sections or cross-sections and the r concordance correlations were very good. Results show that the radiographic and the tunnel-type surgical templates are accurate and reliable for operation and will help to improve the success rate of implant anchorage.

Objective To evaluate the effect of cell-penetrating peptide (protein transduction domain 4,PTD4) mediated copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn SOD) on hypoxia/reoxygenation injury (HRI) in rat myocardial cells.Methods Rat myocardial cell H9C2 HRI model was prepared by using the anaerobic incubator (85% N2,10% H2,5% CO2).The HRI group (without adding any treating factor in HRI cell culture fluid),HRI+Cu/Zn SOD group (adding 10 μmol/L Cu/Zn SOD) and HRI+PTD4-Cu/Zn SOD group (10 μmol/L PTD4-Cu/Zn SOD) were set up.In addition,normally cultured myocardial cells served as the normal control group.After incubating for 30 min,the ultra microstructure of mitochondria was observed under transmission electron microscope.The mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by JC-1 kit.The myocardial cell apoptosis was detected by TdT mediated dUTP nick end labeling TUNEL technique.Results The mitochondria injury degree after 30 min incubation in the PTD4-Cu/Zn SOD group was significantly improved compared with the HRI group.Compared with the normal control group,the mitochondrial membrane potential in the HRI group was significantly decreased,while the mitochondrial membrane potential in the PTD4-Cu/Zn SOD group was lower than that in the normal control group,but compared with the HRI group,which was obviously recovered.The cardiomyocyte apoptosis in the HRI+PTD4-Cu/Zn SOD group was (10.20±2.77)%,which was significantly decreased compared with (28.40±2.41)% in the HRI group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion PTD4 mediated Cu/Zn SOD can attenuate HRI in rat myocardial cells.

Objective:To investigate the effect of acute mixed hyperlipidemia on acute myocardial infarct size and the potential mechanism.Methods: Fifty-three Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were divided into three groups: the control group(n=15) was injected with 1.0 mL 0.9% sodium chloride,the low dose group(n=17) and high dose group(n=21) were injected with 0.5 mL and 1.0 mL 10% Triton WR-1339 solution respectively.Acute myocardial infarction was produced 24 hours after the injection.Serum lipid and the activity of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2) were measured before and 24 hours after the injection.Rats were killed 24 hours after ligation and their hearts were excised to evaluate the myocardial infarct size.Results: Serum total cholesterol(TC) and trig1ycerides(TG) concentrations were(6.92?1.48) mmol/L and(11.76?2.76) mmol/L in the low dose group 24 hours after injection,(11.91?0.87) mmol/L and(33.97?5.85) mmol/L in the high dose group,and both increased significantly compared with the baseline.Also serum low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) concentration increased(P0.05).Myocardial infarct size was significantly(P

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of micronised fenofibrate on lipid and uric acid metabolism in patients with hyperlipidemia.Methods: A total of 116 patients with hypertriglyceridemia and hyperuricemia received 200 mg micronised fenofibrate for 4 weeks.Physical and laboratory investigations of lipid profiles,serum uric acid,and 24 h urine uric acid,for adverse effects were assessed.Results:(1) Serum triglyceride(TG) was significantly reduced by 51%,whilst high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) increased 24% after 4-week fenofibrate treatment.Moreover,serum total cholesterol(TC) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) were reduced by 10% and 12%,respectively.(2) Serum uric acid levels were significantly reduced by 28.3% [from(462.8?73.5) ?mol/L to(320.1?83.0) ?mol/L] after fenofibrate treatment,independent of baseline uric acid le-vels.There was no difference in serum uric acid changes between male gender and female gender(29.8% and 25.1%,respectively).(3) Urine uric acid levels were increased by 36.0% [from(2 874.2?503.4) ?mol/L to(3 604.2?769.7) ?mol/L].The urine uric acid changes were 41.1% in male gender group and 33.4% in female gender group.The uric acid clearance/creatinin clearance ratio was increased in all cases after treatment.Conclusion: Micronised fenofibrate treatment could significantly improve lipid and uric acid metabolism in patients with hypertriglyceridemia and hyperuricemia,and is ge-nerally safe and well tolerated.The anti-hyperuricemic effect of fenofibrate is a result of increasing the urinary excertion of uric acid,independent of baseline level and gender.

Objective:To explore the influence of treatment with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors ( sta-tins) on the expression profile of microRNAs ( miRNAs) in the plasma of patients with unstable angina ( UA) .Methods:The Taqman low-density miRNA array ( TLDA) and significance analysis of microar-rays ( SAM) were used to identify distinct miRNA expression profiles in the plasma of UA patients treated with long-term and regular statins ( UA receiving statins , n=6 ) compared with UA patients who had not received statins therapy before ( UA received no statins , n=6 ) .These differentially expressed miRNAs discovered in the profiling were further validated by real-time PCR in another 20 controls with non-cardiac chest pain , 26 UA patients received no statins , and 19 UA patients received statins .Results: By using TLDA and SAM , significantly decreased expression levels of 21 miRNAs were observed in the UA pa-tients receiving statins compared with those who received no statins ( fold change >3 and false discovery rate<0 .0001%) .The unsupervised hierarchical clustering based on miRNA expression clearly separa-ted the UA patients receiving statins from those who received no statins .Consistent with the profiling da-ta, the levels of 5 inflammation-associated miRNAs (miR-106b, miR-21, miR-25, miR-451, and miR-92a) were down regulated (P<0.05) in the UA patients receiving statins compared with those who re-ceived no statins.Conclusion: A group of inflammation-associated miRNAs, consisting of miR-106b, miR-21, miR-25, miR-451, and miR-92a, could be decreased by treatment with statins and may be used as a novel biomarker for effectiveness of statins therapy in patients with UA .
