Objective To provide basis of preventing and treating complications by monitoring plasma colloid osmotic pressure and blood clotting function during anesthesia of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).Methods 30 patients with upper urinary calculus were equally and randomly divided into two groups according to the different anesthesia method. In General anesthesia group, Midazolam 0. 1 mg/kg、diprivan 1.5mg/kg、Vecuronium bromide 0. 15mg/kg、fentanyl 4μg/kg were used to guide and forane 1 ～ 1.3MAC were used to keep inhalation anesthesia. In lumbar-epidural anesthesia group T12～12 or T12 ～ L1 epidural anesthesia with 0.75% ropivacaine 8 ～ 10 ml and L2～4 lumbar anesthesia with bupivacaine 10mg were used. Plasma colloid osnotic pressure, central venous pressure and TEG were detected at the beginning and at the end of operation and fluid consumption were compared between the two groups. Results There was no obvious difference between the two groups. In both groups ,COP was obviously reduced and CVP was improved after the operation which significantly different with those pre-operation ( all P <0. 01 ). R value reduced significantly(P <0. 05). There were 10 patients complicated with chilling, unconffortability,or anxiety. Conclusion During anesthesia of percutaneous nephrolithotomy, with operation time going on, COP reduced obviously, which increased the risk of heart failure, pulmonary edema, etc. but had no effect on blood clotting.

BACKGROUND:In the deep caries treatment, the pulp capping agent used in indirect pulp can induce the formation of dentin bridge (the complex of dental pulp and dentin), to protect the pulp tissue from stimulus and save the pulp vitality, completely avoid the occurrence of complications, with a higher clinical success rate. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the differences in clinical efficacy of five kinds of calcium hydroxide preparations. METHODS:Totaly 236 patients with deep caries were selected and randomized to undergo indirect pulp with the double-component calcium hydroxide powder (n=46), Metapex with one-component injection dosage form and the chemical curing calcium hydroxide preparation (n=47), Dycal with the chemical curing calcium hydroxide preparation (n=45), Ionosit-Baseliner (n=49) and Calcimol LC (n=49) with one-component and the light curing calcium hydroxide preparation. The status of the dental pulp, the restoration and the root tip were observed at 1, 6, 12 and 24 months after operation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference between the five groups in the success rate of indirect pulp capping at 1, 6 and 12 months (P> 0.05). At 24 months, the success rate of indirect pulp capping in the double-component calcium hydroxide powder group was lower than that in the other four groups (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between the latter four groups (P > 0.05). Metapex, Dycal, Ionosit-Baseliner and Calcimol LC al have a good effect on indirect pulp capping to deep caries, which can be used as agents for long-term pulp protection.

BACKGROUND:In the comprehensive treatment of cracked teeth, the temporary protection using the orthodontic band and resin temporary crown can effectively prevent tooth fracture and protect the cracked teeth with a higher clinical success rate. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the differences in clinical efficacy of orthodontic band and resin temporary crown on the temporary protection of cracked teeth. METHODS: Totaly 189 patients (97 males and 92 females, aged 19-65 years) with cracked teeth were selected, randomly divided into two groups and respectively underwent the temporary protection to cracked teeth with the orthodontic band (n=93) and resin temporary crown (n=96) in the comprehensive treatment. Retention effect, periodontal status and patient satisfaction were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There were three cases with loose band and one case with faling band in the group of orthodontic band; there were two cases with faling band in the group of resin temporary crown. No significant difference between two groups in the retention effect was found. There were 11 cases of gingivitis or exploring hemorrhage in the group of orthodontic band and 2 cases in the group of resin temporary crown, indicating the periodontal status in the group of resin temporary crown was better than that in the group of orthodontic band (P< 0.05). There were 18 cases of lower satisfaction for poor color, expand feeling caused by the rubber band and discomfort caused by the band protruding from tooth surface in the group of orthodontic band; there were 3 cases of lower satisfaction in the group of resin temporary crown, and the patient satisfaction in the group of resin temporary crown were higher than that in the group of orthodontic band (P < 0.05). There is a better clinical effect in the temporary protection to cracked teeth by using the resin temporary crown, especialy in the terms of retention effect, periodontal status and patient satisfaction.

BACKGROUND:Temporary crown has been used widely in clinic. The physical properties and biological safety of temporary crown and cement materials are more superior along with the development of material science. OBJECTIVE:To summarize clinical application, physical properties and biological safety of the temporary crown and cement materials. METHODS:PubMed database was searched by the key words of temporary crown, provisional crown, temporary restoration, provisional restoration, interim restoration in English to retrieve relevant articles published from January 2004 to December 2014. Literatures addressing the temporary crown and cement materials were included, and the repetitive researches were excluded. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Through the clinical evaluation and experimental study, the physical properties (polymerization shrinkage, polymerization heat production, polymerization monomer release) and biological safety (cytotoxicity, irritation to the soft tissue) of the temporary crown and cement materials are the key problems needed to overcome. With the appearance of new materials and new fabrication methods, the temporary crown and adhesive materials have great application prospect and higher clinical value, but in the exploration process of the laboratory research and clinical application, there are many problems to be solved.

Objective To evaluate the reliability of the panoramic radiographs for diagnosing mandibular asymmetry.Methods A total of 25 cases with no asymmetry in chief complaint or in appearance were selected for symmetry group.Pa and PAC from 16 cases of facial asymmetry were selected for asymmetric group.Marker points were fixed,a reference line and the reference plane drawn,and then relevant measurement items determined.The repeatability of the fixed position was observed.The difference of all measurement items between the left and right on Pa in symmetry group and asymmetric group were compared respectively and the asymmetric rate of corresponding measuredvalues on two sides between two groups were observed too.Correlation test was used to evaluate the measured-values on Pa and PAC in asymmetric group.Results Dispersion became smaller with the help of reference line and reference plane.And the dispersion was larger when Me was used as a marker other than MF.Most measured-values in symmetry group on Pa and all measured-values in asymmetric group on Pa showed statistically significant difference (P＜ 0.05).The mean difference of CP-GoP distance representing the vertical measured-value was 4.73 mm (P＜0.01); and the mean difference of GoP-MF distance representing the horizontal measured-value was 5.77 mm (P＜0.01).The horizontal measurements on PA and PAC showed closer correlation (r=0.78～0.85,P＜0.01) while the vertical was poorer (r=0.64,P＜0.01).Conclusions This study suggests that marking assisted with reference line and reference plane could get a more repeatable fixed-point on Pa.MF point could be used as a fixed-point for measuring mandibular asymmetry on Pa and the Pa measurement can be used to evaluate mandibular asymmetry.

BACKGROUND:Chroming can improve the corrosion resistance of soft magnetic aloys. OBJECTIVE:To identify the optimal chroming conditions of two soft magnetic aloys, Fe-Cr-Mo and Fe-Ni, so as to improve their corrosion resistance. METHODS:Twelve pieces of square-shaped Fe-Cr-Mo and Fe-Ni soft magnetic aloys were casted in the size of 20 mm×20 mm×2 mm. After sanding and polishing, chrome plating was performed on these specimens and the coating thickness and hardness were measured. The selection factors included electroplate type (hexavalent chromium and trivalent chromium), current density (15, 20, 25, 35, 40, 45 A/dm2) and electroplating time (30, 40, 60 minutes). The optimal chroming conditions were determined by one-factor experimental method and the chrome plating was observed under a scanning electron microscope. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Cr6+ coating was significantly better than Cr3+ coating in the aspects of hardness, thickness and uniformity, indicating Cr6+ coating can significantly improve the corrosion resistance of Fe-Cr-Mo and Fe-Ni aloys. For Fe-Cr-Mo soft magnetic aloy, the optimal conditions of Cr6+ coating were as folows: current density of 45 A/dm2 and electroplating time of 60 minutes; the optimal conditions of Cr3+ coating were as folows: current density of 20 A/dm2 and electroplating time of 30 minutes. For Fe-Ni soft magnetic aloys, the optimal conditions of Cr6+ coating were as folows: current density of 35 A/dm2 and electroplating time of 60 minutes; the optimal conditions of Cr3+ coating were as folows: current density of 20 A/dm2 and electroplating time of 40 minutes.
