Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2017;21(26):4143-4148
BACKGROUND: Fluorine used for light-cured fluorine-containing resin can reduce and prevent dental caries, as well as play a long-term effect against tooth decay. However, there are rare reports on the composite preparation and performance.OBJECTIVE: To study the preparation and performance of the light-cured fluorine-containing resin. METHODS: Triethylamine as a catalyst, bisphenol A, bisphenol S, glycidyl methacrylate, trifluoroacetic anhydride and inorganic fillers (modified silicon dioxide, hydroxyapatite or titanium dioxide at mass fraction of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%)were mixed to prepare the light-cured fluorine-containing resin. Then, the tensile strength, bending modulus,polymerization conversion and water of the composites were tested, and the morphology of the resin was observed under transmission electron microscope.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At the same mass fraction, the tensile strength was highest in the titanium dioxide group, higher in the hydroxyapatite group, and lowest in the silicon dioxide group (P < 0.05). At the same mass fraction, there was no difference in the bending modulus between the titanium dioxide group and the hydroxyapatite group (P > 0.05), while the bending modulus in the silica group was significantly higher than that in the other two groups (P < 0.05).At the same mass fraction, the polymerization conversion of the composite resin was higher in the titanium dioxide group than the hydroxyapatite and silicon dioxide groups (P < 0.05), but there was no difference between the latter two groups (P > 0.05). With the increasing of mass fraction, the water absorption of the composite resin kept an increasing trend.Under the transmission electron microscope, the fracture surface of the silicon dioxide group was relatively flat, and the resin body exhibited good biocompatibility with the filler; in the hydroxyapatite group, the fracture surface was rough with obvious ups and downs, and the biocompatibility between the resin body and the filler was relatively poor; in the titanium dioxide group, the fracture surface was layered and the filler settled in the resin body, and moreover, titanium dioxide particles were deposited on the bottom of the resin, resulting in larger voids and filler particles as well as poor biocompatibility. To conclude, the light-cured fluorine-containing resin has good mechanical properties, curable properties and absorption rate.

Objective To study the relationship between insulin resistance and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RASS) in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus, and to provide the best treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus with hypertension . Methods Ninety cases of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus were included. After stratified by gender, all the patients were divided into hypertension group and non-hypertension group. According to whether taking hypotensor, the patients with hypertension were further divided into non-medication group, calcium channel blockers (CCB) group, and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) group respectively. Results In female patients with hypertension, the IAI, levels of rennin and angiotensin II were higher than those in non-hypertension group and the systolic pressure of female patients taking ARB was lower than those taking CCB. Pearson′s correlation analysis showed that angiotensin II and aldosterone was positively correlated with HOMA-IR but negatively correlated with IAI in females. Conclusions In female newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus , RASS is related to the development of insulin resistance , so RASS antagonists are the first choice to achieve better blood glucose control in female patients.

Objective To study a new stuff-block therapy method to promote closure of external gastrointestinal fistula. Methods Twenty-eight patients with different type of external gastrointestinal fistulae in different sites were treated with fibrin glue stuff-blocking technique. The fibrin glue dispensary system designed by the authors has a double-lumen catheter in different size.When the catheter inserted via the fistula to about 1cm from the intestinal fistula,the glue was relased through the catheter to seal the whole fistula. Results The insertion of dispensary catheter into the fistulae was successful in all the cases. No side-effect was observed in all the patients. In 17 patients the fistulae healed about one week after one time treatment, 11 patients′ fistulae healed in about two weeks after 2-3 time treatment. Twenty-five patents were followed up for 3-6 months . The fistula sustained healing and normal deal was restored.Conclusions Stuff-blocking of the fistula with fibrin glue by means of the dispensary system designed by the authors has satisfy results. It provided a new method for the treatment of external gastrointestinal fistula .

Adult male rats were divided at random into two groups and trained on the treadmill running schedules, 60 min/day and 10min/day for group A and B separately. Four weeks later the ultrastructure of the left ventricular myocardium was examined and the specific surface of mitochondria wasmeasured. Comparing to the corresponding control group, the specific surface of mitochondria in the two groups of trained rats was decreased significantly. (5.883+0.12 um and 6.050?0.12 um to 6.564?0.17 um). This means myocardium mitochondria in trained rats were swelling. The reason might be that the myocardium injury was induced by exercise training.
