BACKGROUND: Craniofacial hard tissue structures vary in age, gender, regional and racial differences. Some researchers have conducted X-ray cephalometric measures of malocclusion deformity in some domestic cities, and obtained normal cephalometric measures of craniofacial hard tissue structure. However, little data have been available concerning cephalometric measures of craniofacial hard tissue structure of Tibetan youth in Tibet region. OBJECTIVE: To observe structural features of craniofacial hard tissue of permanent tooth occlusal period in the adolescent of Lhasa. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Stratified cluster sampling survey was performed at Naqu, Tibet from June to August 2008. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 200 adolescents at permanent tooth occlusal period, 100 males and 100 females aged 11-14 years were selected from middle and primary schools of Lhasa in 2003. The inclusion criteria included: teeth in order, neutral occlusal adjustment, normal maxilla and mandible appearance and relationship, normal teeth number and overbite and overjet, concordant face, and no history of orthodontic management. METHODS: According to the requirements and standards for the irradiation, 200 subjects underwent X-ray cephalometric measures, and the results were compared with normal values of the same age. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: SNA angle, SNB angle, ANB angle, 1-SA angle, 1-NA angle, 1-NA, T-MP angle, Y axial angle, NP-FH angle, NA-PA angle, 1-T angle, MP-SN angle, Po-NB, T-NB angle, T-NB, and MP-FH angle. RESULTS: No significant differences were found between Lhasa adolescents and normal values in terms of SNA angle, SNB angle, ANB angle, 1-SN angle, 1-NA angle, 1-NA, T-MP angle, Y axial angle, NP-FH, NA-PA, 1-T, and MP-SN. Po-NB was slightly greater than normal value and T-NB angle, T-NB and MP-FH were significantly less than normal values. CONCLUSION: Lhasa adolescents have significantly different craniofacial hard tissue structure from normal values: forward protrusion of mental region, flat mandible angle, straight mandible anterior teeth, upward and forward rotated mandible, and straight face type.

Objective To study the clinical value of peripheral venous blood circulating tumor cell count in patients with non -small -cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods 28 patients with NSCLC were chosen as observa-tion group,at the same time,16 patients with benign lung tumor and 16 healthy persons were chosen as the control group 1,2.Before and after treatment,the peripheral venous blood circulating tumor cell counts were studied to under-stand its value in clinical.Results CK -FITC expression rate of adenocarcinoma patients was 95.8%,CD326APC expression rate was 94.5%,CK -FITC and CD326APC expression rate was 94.6%.CK -FITC expression rate of squamous carcinoma was 93.7%,CD326APC expression rate was 93.9%,CK -FITC and CD326APC expression rate was 94.1%,the differences between the two groups were not significant (χ2 =2.89,1.36,2.14,all P >0.05).The positive rate of peripheral venous blood circulating tumor cells in the observation group was significantly higher than the two control groups,and before treatment,the positive rate of peripheral venous blood circulating tumor cell was higher than after treatment.Conclusion Peripheral venous blood circulating tumor cell count can determine the dis-ease development process.

Objective To study the effect and mechanism of polypeptide from Chlamys farreri(PCF) on the thymocytes damaged by 60Co γ-rays. Methods The ceils were randomly divided into six groups: control group, 60Co groups (2 Gy, model),60Co + 0.5% PCF, 60Co+ 0.25% PCF, 60Co + 0.125% PCF, 60Co +0.1% VitC. The concentration of GSH-Px, ROS, A-SAC, T-AOC and the cells' viability were determined. The mitochondria membrane potential were tested. The expressions of P53, Bax and Bel-2 proteins were examined.Results The activities f GSH-Px, A-SAC, T-AOC in cells were enhanced, and the amounts of ROS were decreased by PCF. The expression of Bcl-2 gene was up-regulated, and down-regulated for the expression of P53 and Bax. All observed indexes of the PCF groups were significantly different compared with model group (P <0.05). Conclusions PCF has the protective effects on damages of thymocytes caused by 60Co irradiation. The mechanisms might be related to inhibiting of lymphocyte apoptosis and enhancing the activities of lymphocytes.

We have studied the inhibitory effect of polysaccharides mixture on Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma (EAC), Sarcoma 180 (S180), reticulocytic leukemia (L615) in mice. It is found that polysaccharides mixture could obviously prolong the survival duration of mice suffering from tumour and inhibit neoplastic proliferation. Thymus and adrenal glands atrophy in mice caused by vaccination of cancer cells was also remarkably resisted.The results of our experiments show that polysaccharides mixture is a safe,effective and promising pharmaceutic preparation of traditional Chinese medicine. It deserves to be further studied and developed.

BACKGROUND: Presently, it is a certain preventive effect of local emplacement of various isolated materials during operation and postoperatively drug-controlled inflammatory reaction on adhesion between epidural and nerve root after laminectomy.OBJECTIVE: To study the preventive effect of chitosan and titanium net on epidural cicatricle adhesion after laminectomy.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Randomized controlled animal study, which was performed in Guiyang Medical College from June to December 2005.MATERIALS: Eighty adult rabbits, weighing (2.0±0.2) kg, were used to establish vertebral plate resection models. Chitosan was provided by Shanghai Qisheng Biological Agent Industry Company, and titanium net by Guizhou Kelun Pharmacology Company Limited.METHODS: Eighty adult rabbits were randomly divided into four groups, including control group (0.5 mL saline), titanium net group (titanium net in the size of 1.0 cm × 0.8 cm was covered on defect region of vertebral plate and fixed on processus spinosus of upper and lower cone, bilateral muscles and soft tissues), chitosan group (2 mL chitosan), and chitosan + titanium net group (combination of chitosan and titanium net). Six rabbits were sacrificed in the 2nd and 4th weeks postoperatively, and eight rabbits were chosen as the samples in the 8th week.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Morphological changes of cicatricle.RESULTS: Cicatricle was clearer in the control group. Titanium net could relieve peripheral cicatricle of dura mater and effectively isolate peripheral cicatricial tissue and spinal dura meter. Chitosan could remarkably prevent from cicatricle adhesion and inhibit inflammatory reaction. The combination of chitosan and titanium net could effectively inhibit proliferation of cicatricle surrounding dura meter.CONCLUSION: Association of chitosan and titanium net can effectively inhibit cicatricle adhesion surrounding dura meter after laminectomy.

Objective To discuss the therapeutic options for treatment of subaxial cervical dislocation combined with facet locking. Methods There were 49 patients with cervical dislocations including 7 patients with dislocation at C3,4, 15 at C4,5, 14 at C5,6 and 13 at C6,7. Eleven patients were with old dislocation, with duration of dislocation ranging from 2 hours to 61 days. Neurologic status of the patients according to Frankel scale was graded A in 14 patients, grade B in nine, grade C in 10 and grade D in nine. All patients were treated surgically after closed reduction with skull traction. Results The successful reduction rate was 63% for fresh dislocation, with average improvement of 0.65 grade for spinal cord function. All bone grafts got fusion at four months after operation. Conclusion Therapeutic options are based on fresh or old dislocations, paraplegia or not, intervertebral disk injury severity, and reduction or not through traction for patients with lower cervical dislocations.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical outcome of one stage posteroanterior decompression and bone implant in the treatment of severe lower cervical spinal bony canal stenosis. Methods The study involved 29 patients with severe lower cervical spinal bony canal stenosis treated with one stage posteroanterior decompression and bone implant from April 2006 to March 2009. There were 11 patients with old fractures, seven with posterior longitudinal ligament ossification and 11 with cervical disc calcification. The course of disease ranged from 2 months to 3.2 years, average 1.4 years. The nerve function was rated as grade B in two patients, grade C in 19 and grade D in eight according to Frankel scale. The average Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score was 9.8. ResultsAll patients were followed up for 7-28 months (average 15.2 months), which showed bony fusion five months after operation, with fusion rate of 100％. The Frankel grade was increased for average 1.2 grades and the nervous symptoms alleviated remarkably. Mean postoperative JOA score was 13.8 and increased for mean 4.0, with mean amehoration rate of 55.6％. ConclusionsOne stage posteroanterior decompression and bone implant is a safe and effective method for treatment of lower cervical spinal bony canal stenosis, when the intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring can assure the operative safety.
