Objective:To examine the surface of mineral trioxide aggr eg ate (MTA) when treated in different conditions in vitro. Method: Root blocks were prepared. MTA and other three dental materials (Dycal, Dyr act and amalgam) were respectively filled into the root canals of prepared root blocks. The roots with the materials were maintained in distilled water or simul ated body fluid (SBF) at 37 ℃ for 5 days. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS) were employed to investigate the mor phological changes and chemical components. Results:There was pr ecipitate of simple crystal units or crystalline structure in the MTA specimens. EDS showed one or two peaks corresponding to calcium or calcium and phosphorus. Conclusions:Apatite may produce and grew by MTA on its surface.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the possible effects of meteorological and environmental factors on allergic rhinitis of children. METHOD: Daily numbers of outpatients consulting general practitioners for AR between Jan 1 2007 and Dec 31 2011 were obtained from the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Shanghai Children Medical Center. Daily maximum, average and minimum temperatures and humidity and wind power for Shanghai of the same 5 years were obtained from the Shanghai Meteorological Office. Air Quality data was provided by the Shanghai Municipal Environmental Protection Monitoring Center on daily SO2, NO2 and PM10, the average of O3 per 8 hours. The data was available as average values derived from the data of 6 state comtrolled monitoring stations distributed across Shanghai. Non-parametric generalized additive model (GAM) was used to analyze the highly non-linear or non-monotonic exposure-response relationship between meteorological and environmental factors and daily outpatient visiting for AR of children. RESULT: The daily numbers of AR children in outpatients department in this study were highest in the average daily temperature 11°C and 21°C. It showed two peak. But as the humidity increased, daily numbers of outpatients of AR children went down, indicating that the higy humidity has protective effect. Every 10 microg/m3 increase of environmental pollutants O3, SO2 and PM10 was linked to 1.95%, 1.19% and 0.33% increase in the number of visitors, respectively, suggesting the air pollution may increase the risk of onset of AR in children. CONCLUSION Meteorological and environmental factors have important effects on AR in children.

Objective To explore the feasibility and cosmetic results of video-assisted subcutaneous mastectomy and immediate reconstruction. Methods Two patients who suffered from breast diseases and need to excise the breasts received a video-assisted total subcutaneous mastectomy and immediate reconstruction in our center. Results Both patients felt satisfied on the cosmetic result. According to the operative experience of these two patents combined with review, the key point of the operation was summarized as follows. The incisions on the anterior axillary line were small and concealing. External retraction method was used to establish the working space. Video-assisted operation was combined with euthyphoria. Blunt dissection was combined with electrical surgery unit and ultrasound knife to isolate the breast skin flap. After breast glandectomy was completed, silica gel prosthesis was put into the interspace behind ectopectoralis. Pressure dressing for 3 weeks was done to prevent the prosthesis upward displacement. Conclusion The video-assisted subcutaneous mastectomy and immediate reconstruction is a safe and feasible operation method with the better cosmetic result.

BACKGROUND: Hydrogen sulfide signaling has been proved to promote distraction osteogenesis; however,the underlying mechanism remains unclear.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between hydrogen sulfide and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)during the osteogenesis of rat bone marrow mesenchymal cells under tensile stress.METHODS: 2000 μ strain was loaded on the in vitro cultured rat bone marrow mesenchymal cells by a four-point bending apparatus, and hydrogen sulfide donor or HIF-1α inhibitor was adopted in the tensile unit. Subsequently, the levels of osteogenic markers were detected.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Exogenous hydrogen sulfide signaling could promote the osteogenesis of rat bone marrow mesenchymal cells under tensile stress. However, this promotion was obviously eliminated when the endogenous HIF-1α expression was inhibited.These results show that hydrogen sulfide signaling system promotes the osteogenesis of rat bone marrow mesenchymal cells under tensile stress probably through HIF-1α.

Methods　Expression of p7 3 gene was detected by RT-PCR in 32 human NSCLC tissues, tissues adjacent to ca ncer and non-cancer lung tissues. Results　p73 gene expression up-regulated substantially and detected in 87.5%(28/32) of human NSCLC tissues while expressed at low level in tissues adjacent to cancer and non-cancer lung tissues. Conclusion　Marked up-regulation of p73 gene expres sion is found in human NSCLC.

Objective To investigate the resistance-related genes of Shigella sonnei with decreased susceptibility to fluoroquinolones.MethodsA total of 131 strains of Shigella sonnei were analyzed for their antimicrobial susceptibility.Mutations within the quinolone resistance determining regions (QRDR) of gyrA and parC were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and PCR products were then sequenced. Meanwhile, the plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes,qnr and aac(6')-Ib-cr were screened by PCR.ResultsResistance rates of 131 Shigella sonnei isolates to nalidixic acid,tetracycline,ampicillin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole were 100.0％,93.9％,93.2％ and 92.8％,respectively.All strains were susceptible to norfloxacin,ciprofloxacin,levofloxacin,while 94％ nalidixic acid-resistant Shigella sonnei strains showed reduced susceptibilities to fluoroquinolones.All of nalidixic acid-resistant Shigella sonnei strains presented a single mutation at codon 83 (Ser→Leu) of gyrA genes,but no mutations were detected in parC gene.And PMQR genes qnr and aac (6’)-Ib-cr were not detected.Conclusions The nalidixic acid-resistant Shigella sonnei strains with reduced susceptibility to fluoroquinolones are common in the clinical practice,which may mainly due to a single mutation at codon 83 (Ser→Leu) of gyrA genes.

Objective To investigate the changes of PPARr mRNA and protein expressions in rats with ANP. Methods 36 rats were randomly divided into sham group and ANP group. The rats were sacrificed 3 h, 6 h,12 h after ANP induction, the levels of serum amylase were measured, the pancreatic pathological changes were determined and the expressions of pancreatic PPARr mRNA and protein was examined by RT- PCR and immunohistochemistry. Results In ANP group, the level of serum amylase at 6h was (7170.83± 1635.59) U/L, the scores of pathological changes were 6.67±1.03 and 13.00±2.36, which were much higher than those of sham group (P<0.01) ; the PPARr mRNA expression was 0.18±0.05, and there were no obvious differences compared with that of sham group (0.22±0.03 ) ; PPARr protein expression was 4.17 ±0.98, which was significantly higher than that of sham group (1.83±0.71, P<0.05). Conclusions Inflammatory injury resulted in increased deactivation of pancreatic acinar PPARr, meanwhile PPARr gene expression was inhibited by feedback.

Objective To understand the cue-induced craving, physiological reactions to heroin-related cues, and to explore the factors that impact the cue-induced craving. Methods 369 abstinent heroin addicts were exposed to videotapes of heroin using and simulacrum after the self relaxation. The craving, abstinent symp-toms were measured before and after cue exposures. The physiological reactions were measured by multi-biofeed-back instrument before, during, and after cue exposure. BIS-Ⅱ questionnaire was used to collect information about their impulsive characteristic. Results After cue exposure, the self-reports scores of craving (t=11.24, P< 0.01), physiological index including heart rate((76.6±11.3) beats/min, F=19.23), skin conduct ((7.48± 4.25)μs, F=53.99), pupil size (t=11.73) had significant change in heroin addicts (P<0.01). Logistic regres-sion results showed that the scores of BIS-Ⅱ were related to cue-reduced craving (P=0.001,95% CI: 1.015～1. 065). Conclusions Exposure to drug-related cues can induces craving and physiological reactions in long term abstinence heroin addicts. High impulsive characteristic is a risk factor to induce drug-related craving. The inter-vention strategies should consider the impulsive characteristic and make a comprehensive intervention program to prevent relapse.
