Objective To analyze the distribution and evolution of the risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD) in middle-aging males, and provide the evidence for the prevention and treatment of male patients with CHD. Methods 1639 male people over 45 years old were enrolled in the study. They were divided into non- senile group (45-59 years old) and senile group (60-93 years old).The subjects over 60 years old were further divided into three groups:60-69 years old group, 70-79 years old group, 80-93 years old group. The interrelation between the risk factors of CHD and aging was analyzed. Results The prevalence rates of drinking, smoking, diastolic hypertension and low HDL-C in non-senile group were much higher than those in senile group (x2=28.80,18.35,15.72,17.84,P<0.01). In contrast, the prevalence rates of overweight, systolic hypertension, fasting hyperglycemia,postprandial hyperglycemia in senile group were significantly higher than those in non senile group. The prevalence rates of high triglyceride in non- senile group and senile group were 18.0% and 16.2% respectively(P>0.05). The prevalence rates of high cholesterol in non- senile group and senile group were 36.9% and 31.5% respectively(P>0.05). There was a significant decrease in the prevalence rates of overweight, postprandial hyperglycemia (P<0.05) and drinking,smoking, diastolic hypertension, high triglyeeride (P<0.01) in over 70-year+old males. And the prevalence rates of overweight, postprandial hyperglycemia, high triglyceride of over 80-year-old males were higher than those of over 70-year-old males (x2=10.05,4.16,5.97,P<0.01). However,the prevalence rates of systolic hypertension of over 80-year-old males were lower than those of over 70-year-old males (X2=21.25,P<0.01). There was no significant change in other risk factors of CHD at different ages of senile group. Conclusions For non-senile males, the important measures to treat the risk factors of CHD should include stopping smoking, restricting alcohol, eating low fat diet, changing bad life habits, controlling diastolic hypertension and modifying lipid. In contrast, for senile males, more attention should he paid to limiting total energy intake, increasing sports, losing weight, controlling systolic hypertension, hyperglycemia and modifying lipid.

Objective:
To investigate the situation of hip dislocation with the application of "femur first" principle and "combined anteversion technique" during total hip arthroplasty.
Methods:
A retrospective analysis has been done on the clinical data about 104 patients(133 hips)who were diagnosed as hip disease and were treated with total hip arthroplasty by the doctors from the Department of Joint Orthorpaedics of Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University from June 2014 to June 2016, and all the prostheses applied in the operation were cementless ones.Among them, 65 patients were males, 39 females and their age was 46.6 years (ranging from 23 to 76 years) .And 29 of them underwent bilateral hip operations and 75 unilateral ones.Seventy-six cases of aseptic necrosis of the femoral head in the terminal stage, 28 cases of hip dysplasia and osteoarthritis.Surgical approach: of all the operations, 103 hips were operated on with hardinge approach, 30 with posterolateral approach.During the operation, first of all, the femoral medullary cavity was broached and then the anteversion of intramedullary broacher was measured.After that, the anteversion of the acetabular cup was calculated as 37° minus the anteversion of the broacher, and the acetabular cup was implanted at that angle.The patients′ prosthesis combined anteversion, range of motion of the hip joint, operation time, hemorrhage amount, and complications had been kept record.One, three, and six months respectively after the operation, all the patients received outpatient review, and took anteroposterior and lateral position X-ray examination.Harris hip score had been applied to evaluate their hip function before the operation and six months after the operation.
Results:
All the patients had been operated on smoothly, with the operation time of(57.6±14.5)minutes(36-115 minutes)and hemorrhage amount of (336.5±50.8)ml(180-620 ml). The operation finding showed that the combined anteversion by employing "femur first" principle and combined anteversion techniqueis was (36.6±6.8)°. Also, range of motion of the patients′ hip conforms to the D′Lima criterion and no patients had experienced dislocation and some other serious complications.The follow-up ended at August 2017, which lasted for 12.2 months(6-18 months), and 88 cases(119 hips) were interviewed. The Harris hip score for the affected sides of the hip joints 6 months after the surgery was 94.6(86-100). Compared with the score of 29.8(12-43) before surgery, the

Objective To explore the long-term clinical effect of Theracal LC on complicated crown fracture of immature permanent teeth.Methods A total of 33 teeth(13 males,15 teeth;16 females,18 teeth)from 29 adolescent patients with complicated crown fracture were collected.In this randomized clinical trial,all the samples were divided into two groups depending on the different pulp capping materials:the experimental group-Theracal LC(n=17)and the control group-MTA(n=16),with the same contralateral or ad-jacent teeth as blank control group.The treated teeth were evaluated clinically and radiographically at 3,6,12,24,36,48 months.Results During the 4-year follow-up,clinical symptoms of all the treated teeth in both groups improved and disappeared.At 6 months,the clinical success rate of both groups was 100%.The clinical success rate was 93.7%at 12 months in the MTA group.The clinical success rates of Theracal LC group at 12 months and 24 months were 94.1%and 88.2%,respectively.There was no statistical difference between the groups in clinical efficacy(P>0.05).The samples of MTA group went black,while Theracal LC group had no discoloration.The formation rate of early-formed dentine bridge in Theracal LC group was relatively faster than that in MTA group.The dentine bridge could be seen in all samples of both groups in the long term.The dentine bridges in Theracal LC group had complex mor-phology,while the linear uniform was mostly seen in MTA group.Conclusion As a pulp capping agent,Theracal LC has good clinical efficacy and biosafety,and can be used as one of the substitutes for MTA.
