Journal of Practical Stomatology 2016;32(5):627-630
Objective:To explore the time interval of using electric toothbrush after the adhesion of zinc polycarboxylate cement (ZPC) and PanaviaTM F(PF) respectively.Methods:The facial surfaces of 60 premolars were exposed and embedded in self-curing resin with custom made cylinder-shaped molds.Then the facial surfaces were cut with a diamond saw and polished with waterproof polishing papers to create standardized dentin surfaces.30 co-cr ally test-pieces and 30 zirconia ceramic test-pieces (4.0 mm in diameter and 2.0 mm in height) were adhered on 30 dentin surfaces respectively with ZPC and PF.The samples of each kind were divided into 5 groups (n =6) and brushed with an electronic toothbrush for 30 seconds immedietly (group 1),12 h (group 2),24 h (group 3)and 48 h(group 4) after adhesion,respectively.The samples in group 5 without brush were the controls.Shear bond strength of the samples was measured and the fracture patterns were observed under steriomicroscope.Results:In the ZPC adhered samples the bond strength of group 1,2,3 was lower than that of group 4 and 5 (P < 0.05),group 4 vs group 5,P > 0.05.In the PF adhered simples the bond strenth of group 1 and 2 was lower than that of group 3,4 and 5 (P < 0.05),group 3 or 4 vs group 5,P > 0.05.The fracture patterns were mostly cement cohesive failure.Conclusion:The time intervals of using electric toothbrush after the adhesion of ZPC and PF are 48 h and 24 h respectively

Objective:To investigate the application effect of WeChat combined with team-based learning (TBL) in the teaching of rehabilitation therapy.Methods:A total of 40 students majoring in rehabilitation therapy who studied in our department were selected and divided into control group and experimental group, with 20 students in each group. The students in the control group received lecture-based learning, and those in the experimental group received WeChat combined with TBL. At the end of training, department examination and satisfaction investigation were performed for all students. SPSS 26.0 was used to perform the t-test and the chi-square test. Results:Compared with the control group, the experimental group had a significantly better score of department examination (74.3±4.9 vs. 62.4±5.2, P<0.001), which was reflected in the three aspects of case analysis (18.3±2.1 vs. 15.2±1.9, P<0.001), clinical practice (19.3±2.1 vs. 14.8±2.4, P<0.001), and doctor-patient communication (17.8±2.4 vs. 14.1±2.4, P<0.001). Compared with the control group, the experimental group had a significantly better total score of satisfaction investigation (79.6±4.8 vs. 71.2±3.5, P<0.001). Conclusion:The teaching method of WeChat combined with TBL can improve the teaching effect of rehabilitation therapy and help to enhance the abilities for case analysis, clinical practice, and doctor-patient communication among students.

Objective:To investigate the clinical, imaging, etiological and prognostic features of patients with infarctions in different locations of the medulla oblongata.Methods:Patients with acute medullary infarction hospitalized at Tianjin Huanhu Hospital from July 2017 to July 2022 were included. The risk factors, clinical manifestation, stroke mechanism and 90-day prognosis of these patients were analyzed retrospectively.Results:Among the 256 patients enrolled, 150 (58.6%) had lateral medullary infarction (LMI), 106 (41.4%) had medial medullary infarction (MMI). The most frequent clinical manifestation of patients with LMI was dizziness (84.7%,127/150). And motor disorders (83.0%,88/106) was the most frequent clinical manifestation of patients with MMI. LMI lesions were mostly located in the middle (42.7%,64/150) and MMI lesions were mostly located in the upper (60.4%,64/106) medulla oblongata, with statistically significant difference (χ 2=47.53, P<0.001). Large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) was the main stroke mechanism in LMI and MMI [57.3%(86/150) vs 56.6%(60/106)]. Early neurological deterioration was more common in MMI (25.5%,27/106) and less common in LMI (7.3%,11/150), with statistically significant difference (χ 2=16.17, P<0.001). At discharge, more patients with MMI showed poor prognosis in short term [45.3% (48/106) vs 24.0% (36/150), with statistically significant difference (χ 2=12.76, P<0.001)] and even long term at 90-day follow-up [33.0% (35/106) vs 12.7% (19/150), also with statistically significant difference (χ 2=15.48, P<0.001)] than those with LMI. A total of 10 patients (4.0%, 10/256) developed respiratory failure during hospitalization, including 7 patients with LMI (4.7%, 7/150) and 3 patients with bilateral MMI (2.8%,3/106). Early neurological deterioration ( OR=3.38, 95% CI 1.25-9.10, P=0.016) and LAA (compared with small artery occlusion) ( OR=3.08, 95% CI 1.13-8.37, P=0.028) were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in MMI. Age ( OR=1.01, 95% CI 1.01-1.17, P=0.026) and early neurological deterioration ( OR=20.19, 95% CI=2.63-155.06, P=0.004) were independently correlated with poor outcome in LMI. Conclusions:LMI and MMI had similar etiology and significant differences in clinical manifestations, early neurological deterioration and prognosis. Further classification of medullary infarction was of great significance for diagnosis, treatment and prognosis evaluation.
