OBJECTIVETo investigate the displacement and stress distribution of upper incisors in three-dimensional (3D) space controlled by step-shaped vertical closing loop.
METHODSThe maxillary teeth and alveolar bone of a volunteer with normal occlusion were scanned with 3D spiral CT. Modeling and calculation were only carried out on right upper central incisor, lateral incisor and their alveolar bone in order to simplify the procedures. A 3D finite element model of archwire-brackets-upper incisors and periodontal tissues was developed using Ansys finite element package. Finally, a 3D finite element model of archwire-brackets-upper incisors and periodontal tissues was established based on mirror symmetry principle. The displacement of maxillary incisors and stress distribution in periodontal tissues were analyzed.
RESULTSWhen step-shaped vertical closing loop was simply drew back 1 mm, the maximum displacement of upper central incisor in labial and lingual direction were 5.29 × 10(-2) and 0.71 × 10(-2) mm; 10.47 × 10(-3) and 10.20 × 10(-3) mm in gingival and occlusal direction, 10.26 × 10(-3) and 1.63 × 10(-3) mm in medial and distal direction; the maximum displacement of upper lateral incisor in labial and lingual direction were 3.31 × 10(-2) and 0.41 × 10(-2) mm, 10.52 × 10(-3) and 5.10 × 10(-3) mm in gingival and occlusal direction, 6.29 × 10(-3) and 4.64 × 10(-3) mm in medial and distal direction, the displacement trend of them were moving lingually and gingivally similar to bodily movement. The stress peach of upper central incisor, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone were 31.35, 2.52 and 4.64 MPa, the stress peach of upper lateral incisor, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone were 19.59, 1.28 and 4.12 Mpa, the stress distribution of them were similar and the periodontal ligament buffered the stress imposed on the tooth.

Sudden unexplained nocturnal death syndrome (SUNDS) is always a difficulty in forensic medicine researches. Although the development of molecular genetics promotes the etiologic study of SUNDS, the pathogenesis of most such cases is still unclear. Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is one of the common forms of sleep disorders, and obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is the most common. In recent years, some domestic and international researches show that OSAHS is related to the development of cardiovascular disease, which may cause cardiac arrhythmia, even sudden death. This article reviews the relationship between SUNDS and OSAHS and aims to provide new ideas for the pathogenesis of SUNDS.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the indication, approach and results of the surgical treatment of multiple myeloma.
METHODSThe authors reported 29 surgically-treated patients with solitary or multiple myeloma of the bone between January 1997 and January 2002. There are 17 males and 12 females with average age of 59.5 years (range 38 - 76 years). The primary tumour localizations were: vertebral column in 9, rib in1, humerus in 2, proximal femur in 2, femur shaft in 3, pelvis in 6, sacrum in 6. The 29 patients had undergone the following surgical procedures: vertebral tumours were excited through the anterior or posterior approach, combined with a stabilizing procedure in 7 cases. Tumors on thoracic spine were resected using anterior approach. 4 endoprotheses of replacement were performed, indnding two on proximal femur, one on humerus, and one on pelvis. The pathologic fracture was fixated by internal fixation. Neurological impairment was evaluated according to Frankel system. The study evaluated the complications, neurologic function improvement, life quality, and survival after the surgical treatment.
RESULTSThe pain was relieved in all cases and the neurological function was improved after the surgery. Local recurrence were found in three cases during the follow-up time.
CONCLUSIONThe symptom of the patients can be relieved by the surgery. Our experience suggests that surgical interruption on multiple myeloma in some cases may be rewarding.

OBJECTIVETo determine the independent prognostic factors of primary synovial sarcoma.
METHODSThe clinical data of 52 patients followed up from 66 patients with synovial sarcoma treated between September 1997 and September 2008 was analyzed retrospectively. There were 28 male and 24 female patients aged from 11 to 71 years old. Three and five-year overall survival (OS), recurrence rate and 9 prognostic factors were analyzed in this study. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to determine the prognostic factors of OS.
RESULTSFifty-two patients were followed up with the follow-up time ranged from 6 to 88 months (median 32 months). The 3-, 5-year overall survival rate and local recurrence rate were 52.8%, 30.3% and 32.7% respectively. Univariate showed tumor size < 5 cm, tumor located at extremities, adequate surgical margin and radical resection combined with radiotherapy had better survival rate (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that tumor size, primary site and adequate surgical margin were independent prognostic factors for OS. Patients received radical resection combined with radiotherapy have longer median relapse time (25 months) compared with marginal resection combined with radiotherapy (18 months) and single radical resection (12 months). Thirty-five (67%) patients were treated with chemotherapy and seventeen (33%) patients received no chemotherapy for the primary tumor. Treatment with chemotherapy was not associated with an improved OS (P = 0.52).
CONCLUSIONSThe independent prognostic factors of synovial sarcoma are tumor size, primary site and adequate surgical margin. Doxorubicin and ifosfamide based chemotherapy was not associated with an improved OS in patients with synovial sarcoma. Radical resection combined with radiotherapy can best control local condition.

OBJECTIVESTo define the role of high transthoracic approach in the treatment of cervicothoracic and high thoracic tumor, and analyze the problem encountered during tumor resection and reconstruction of this technique and oncological results of patients who received this type of surgery.
METHODSTwenty-one patients with cervicothoracic and high thoracic tumor (T(1 - 4)) were treated with high transthoracic approach. This series included metastatic tumor 11 patients, eosinophilic granuloma of bone 2 patients, osteosarcoma 1 patient, Ewing's sarcoma 2 patients, chondrosarcoma 2 patients, giant cell tumor 2 patients, lymphoma 1 patient. High transthoracic approach was applied to these patients for tumor resection and spinal cord decompression. Reconstruction method included artificial vertebrae implantation or bone graft implantation combined with anterior internal fixation.
RESULTSChest-back pain of all patients relieved significantly after operation. Paraplegia of 3 patients was improved from grade A to grade D according to Frankel grading system, the other 2 patients recovered completely. Pulmonary infection and pulmonary atelectasis occurred in 2 patients; cerebrospinal fluid leakage happened in 1 patient; thoracic aorta rupture happened in 1 patient. The follow-up period was 11 - 58 months, 9 patients died, including 7 patients with metastatic cancer, 1 patient with Ewing's sarcoma, 1 patient with osteosarcoma.
CONCLUSIONSHigh transthoracic approach is a satisfactory method in dealing with the lesion of cervicothoracic and high thoracic vertebrae, especially with the lesion involving the vertebrae and single vertebral arch. The thoracic canal can be decompressed effectively by this approach.

OBJECTIVETo assess oral health-related quality of life in patients with fixed appliances.
METHODSOrthodontic patients were asked to complete the scale of general conditions (Chinese version, questionnaire 1) and oral health impact profile (OHIP) -14 (Chinese version, questionnaire 2). Baseline data were collected at first visit and thereafter. The subjects finished questionnaire 2 at the 1st week, 4th week, 12th week and 24th week, respectively, after the fixed appliance was bonded. Data were analyzed to evaluate the various sample groups with different personal information and clinical parameters. Results were collated and analyzed using software package SPSS version 15.0.
RESULTSThe most common negative effect was physical pain [55/222 (27.8%)] and psychological discomfort [40/222 (18.0%)], mainly in the first month. The total scores at five time points were 3, 10, 7, 5 and 4, respectively. No difference was found in quality of life in patients between sixth month with fixed appliance and without appliance (P > 0.05). Age and education status affected the quality of life (P < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONSFixed orthodontic appliance therapy affected patients' oral health-related quality of life during treatment. The quality of life in the first month of treatment was mostly compromised and was improved later.
