Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect and safety of piezoelectric osteotomy in lateral sinus floor augmentation.Meth-ods:53 implants were placed in 30 sites after lateral sinus floor augmentation(LSFA)in 29 patients by piezoelectric osteotomy.47 implants were placed simultaneously with LSFA,6 were delayed.6-8 months after implantation,the final fixed prostheses were per-formed.The patients were followed-up at 3,6,and 12th months after restoration.Results:The mean residual bone height(RBH) was 4.46 mm before operation.The mean height of sinus elevation was 7.34 mm after operation.No membrane perforation occurred. Peri-implantitis,peri-implant mucositis and implant mobility were not found during follow-up.X-ray examination showed good os-seointegration in the interface between the implants and bones.The implant survival rate and the operation success rate were 100%. Conclusion:The application of piezosurgery is safe and reliable in lateral sinus floor augmentation.

Objective To explore the effect of uremic serum on apoptosis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs) and the intervention by recombinant human erythropoietin(rhEPO) in this process.Methods From Dec.2008 to Apr.2009,10 uremic patients and 10 healthy volunteers were enrolled in this study.HUVECs were divided into 3 groups:control group(including 10% healthy serum medium),uremic group(including 10% uremic serum medium) and rhEPO treatment group(rhEPO at 5,10 or 15 U/ml was added to 10% uremic serum medium).After 24 hous's intervention,cell apoptosis was evaluated by TUNEL assay,and reactive oxygen species were detected by colorimetry.Results HUVECs apoptosis index and ROS level were higher in the presence of uremic serum than those of healthy serum(P

Objective To evaluate the value of ultrasound in diagnosing ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Methods The sonographic characteristics of 12 DCIS which were confirmed by pathology were analyzed retrospectively. Results The ultrasound image of DCIS could be divided into four types;the solid mass nodule, mammary dysplasia, mix mass nodule, the dilated duct type. Micro calcification had high incidence rate. Ultrasonic diagnosis accordance rate was 50.0 %. On molybdenum target mammograms, the tumor appeared as a cluster of calcified spots in 8 cases, and the accuracy rate of diagnosis of was 66.7 %.Conclusion There are no typical characters of DCIS in ultrasound image. However, some characteristics are suggestive and can help to differentiate them from the benign tumors, such as small nodule, irregular shape,obscure boundary, and microcalcification. When sonography combine with molybdenum target mammography,the accuracy rate of diagnosis will be improved.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical and epidemiological value of semi-quantitative regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF)imaging in children with school phobia. Methods A total of 20 cases diagnosed with school phobia were examined with rCBF.Twelve were males and the other 8 were females.The mean age was(14.2?2.1)years(11-18 years).Semi-quantitative analysis methods were used to investigate the correlations among gender,age and rCBF. ResultsThere were significant differences in the rCBF of right fronto-parietal lobe,right occipital lobe,caput and putamen,left thalamus and hippocampus,and temporo-occipital lobe between males and females(P0.05).Only the PI of left temporo-parietal lobe of those ≥ 15 years old was significantly different from that of those

Objective To explore the significance of palpation-negative breast tumor resection with ultrasound-guided methylene blue labeling and percutaneous suture traction.Methods 46 cases of small breast tumors with the diameter from 0.5 cm to 1.0 cm were double labeled with methylene blue under the guide of ultrasound l hour preoperatively.The tumors were fixed,drew outward with percutaneous suture and resected accurately.All the 46 cases were rechecked by ultrasound to verify whether residual or false resection occurred 1 month later.Results All the 58 tumors of the 46 patients were accurately resected.No residue or false resection occurred.The average operation duration was 10 min to 20 min.Conclusion Palpable-negative breast tumor resection with ultrasound-guided methylene blue labeling and percutaneous suture traction has the advantages of small invasion,accurate positioning and short operation duration.

Objective Explore the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) and Pselectin in the healing process for possible application in timing of incised wounds. Method An immunohistochemical study on the expression of ICAM-1 and P-selectin was performed on rats vital skin incised wounds (5min～7d)using postmortem incisions(5～30min)as control.Results In the vital skin incisions,positive stain of ICAM-1 was observed on epidermis began from 1h and lasted till 3d, while the P-selectin stain was observed on vascular endothelium as early as 10min after incision and lasted 5h; in addition, the expression of ICAM-1 was also found in the inflammatory cells and fibroblasts,the lasting period varied from group to group (groupⅠ 5min～1h,groupⅡ 3～7h,group Ⅲ 9～12h,groupⅣ 1d,groupⅤ 3d,groupⅥ 5～7d.).The positive ratios of ICAM-1 among the cells were very low in group Ⅰ(0.41?0.73%),and increased considerably in group Ⅱ(9.79?3.74%) and group Ⅲ(23.33?1.10%),maximized in group Ⅳ(30.58?2.65%),then decreased in group Ⅴ and Ⅵ.There were no changes of ICAM-1 and P-selectin in the postmortem incision group. Conclusion ICAM-1 and P-selectin are considered potentially useful markers for wound age determination in forensic practice.

HIV p24 core protein can induce both cellular and neutralizing antibody responses.HIV-1 CA-virus-like particles(VLPs)vaccines provide a promising approach for the development of an effective vaccination strategy against HIV infection.Rhizosecreion of the recombinant proteins provides a new manufacturing platform that can simplify the extraction and purification procedure.Lycium barbarum L.was transformed by Agrobacterium tumefaciens EHA105 harboring the plant expression vector pCAMBIA1305.2-MA4-CA with a GRP signal peptide and MA4-CA fusion gene.Transgenic hairy roots were induced and cultivated in hydroponic culture.Western blotting indicated that the recombinant CA proteins were present in two forms,a glycosylated monomer(37 kDa)and a dimer(50 kDa)in the roots and hydroponic medium.It appeared from the present immunohistochemical data that the recombinant CA proteins fused with GRP signal peptide were confined to the cytoplasm,cell wall and intercellular space,indicating targeting into the secretory pathway.It demonstrated for the first time the rhizosecretion of HIV-1 recombinant capsid protein in Lycium barbarum L.hairy roots,and may offer a novel method for expressing HIV-1 CA-VLPs vaccines in plants.

Objective:To construct a DNA vaccine co-expressing the HBV compound multi-epitope antigen gene, the hIL-12 and the anti-HBV siRNA genes, and to express this DNA vaccine in HepG2 cells. Methods:The HBV multi-epitope antigen gene was designed and synthesized before it was fused with enhanced green fluorescent protein(EGFP) gene, and cloned into the multi-clone site(MCS) of the eukaryotic expression vector pVAX1. The expressinig units of hIL-12 and siRNA were cloned into the BspH I and Mlu I site of pVAX1 respectively. Then the recombinant plasmid pVAX1-siHBV-HB-EGFP-hIL12 was transiently transfected HepG2 cells. The expression of HBV compound multi-epitope gene was observed through EGFP report gene. The expression of hIL-12 was analyzed by ELISA and the effects of anti-HBV siRNA was confirmed with rtPCR . Results: The analysis of enzyme digestion and sequencing both demonstrated that the trible-expressing HBV DNA vaccine has been constructed successfully. The green fluorescent image was detected in the transfected cells which could confirm the expression of the multi-epitope antigen gene. The amount of hIL-12 secretion was 1289pg/ml in supernatant at 48h after transfection and 1712pg/ml at 72h after transfection. The mRNA amount of HBV S gene, which was the siRNA target, had been obviously knockdown. Conclusion: The DNA vaccine co-expressing the HBV compound multi-epitope antigen gene, the hIL-12 and the siRNA genes was constructed and transiently expressed in HepG2 cells, and siRNA had shown us a good anti-HBV effect. It laid a foundation of further study on anti-HBV effect of the new DNA vaccine.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical value of multislice CT (MSCT) in the diagnosis and preoperative TNM staging of gastric carcinoma. Methods: Fifty patients with advanced gastric carcinoma were examined by MSCT, gastrointestinal series (GI), fiberoptic gastroscopy (FG) and transabdominal ultrasonography (US). The results of the 4 methods were compared with postoperative pathological results. Forty patients, who were diagnosed as having advanced gastric carcinoma by both MSCT and US, had their TNM staging evaluated and the results were compared with postoperative pathological TNM evaluation. Results: The detection rates of MSCT, FG, GI and US for advanced gastric carcinoma were 98%, 100%, 88% and 80%, respectively. The detection rate of MSCT was not significantly different with that of FG, but was obviously higher than that of GI (P=0.027) and US (P=0.004). The accuracy of MSCT in preoperative TNM staging was significantly higher than that of US(92.5% vs 72.5%). Conclusion: MSCT, with two-phase thin slice incremental scanning image, multiplaner reformats (MPR) and three-dimension (3D) image, is more advantaged in detecting the gross type, size, location, invasion and metastasis of advanced gastric carcinoma, thus greatly improving the detection rate and preoperative TNM staging of advanced gastric carcinoma.

Objective To assess the prevalence and binocular dysfunctional risk factors associated with asthenopia among adult myopes.Methods The study population included 800 adult myopes,a cross-sectional visual parameters that characterize the accommodative:accommodation amplitude (AA),accommodative facility,and accommodative response (fused crossed cylinder-FCC) and binocular function (near and distant horizontal and vertical associated phorias,near and distance negative and positive fusional vergence,near point of convergence,negative and positive relative accommodation (NRA/PRA),stimulus AC/A ratio and stereoacuity) were evaluated when these subjects wore adequate spectacle correction.Results Asthenopia was reported in 24.2％ (194/800) of myopes.The incidence of asthenopia in female (27.8％,128/460) was more than that in male (19.4％,66/340),and there was significant difference (P =0.006).In univariate analysis,the monocular AA,binocular AA,NRA and PRA were significantly associated with asthenopia (P =0.000).In multivariate analysis,low NRA (≤1.25 D),low NRA (≤1.50 D) were significant risk factors for asthenopia (P =0.000,OR =7.644 ;95％ CI 2.913-17.580;P =0.000,OR =5.303;95％ CI 2.822-16.205).Conclusion Preventive measures directed against the binocular dysfunctional risks factors associated with asthenopia may help reduce the prevalence and provide a positive impact on asthenopia.
