To increase the effective rate of treatment of dental injuries. Self-etching adhesives, flat steel wire and resin were used to make adhesive splints and to fix the dislocated teeth. The effect of treatment was excellent.

Objective: To evaluate the treatment efficacy of reverse flaring technique applied by two rotary instruments, Hero 642 and ProTaper, on complicated molar root canal preparation. Methods: 100 molars with curved root canals (maximum curved angle ≥25 degrees) suffered from pulpitis or periapicities were randomly divided into two groups. In experimental group reverse flaring technique was applied by rotary instruments while in control group reverse flaring technique was not adopted. 50 experimental teeth with curved canals were operated with K files, Hero 642 and ProTaper in sequence. Lateral condensation obturation method was utilized in both groups. Root canal preparation and obturation efficiency were evaluated by X-ray, root canal preparation time and complication incidence (1 year follow-up rate was 95%). Results: Reverse flaring technique applied by Hero 642 and ProTaper Ni-Ti rotary instruments on complicated (curved) root canal preparation in group A demonstrated better root canal coning and smoothness, without instrument fractures, while instrument fractures occurred in control group. Significant difference was found in exact root canal obturation rate and not enough full rate, root canal smoothness and postoperative pain between two groups(P<0.05). Conclusion: Reverse flaring technique applied by Hero 642 and ProTaper NI-Ti rotary instruments indicates complementary potencies, demonstrating satisfactory root canal shape and obturation effectiveness, and lower complication incidence. Reverse flaring technique applied by Ni-Ti rotary instruments is apt for medium/severe curved root canal preparation and worthy of clinical application.

Objective To study the effects of decoy strategy targeted to NF-?B on IL-6 in rat's liver after traumatic inflammatin. Methods Ninty six Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group,traumatic inflammation group, decoy ODN group, and mutant decoy ODN group. Rats were killed on 3 , 6, 12, 24, 48 , and 72 h respectively, for the determination of plasma ALT. Hepatocytes were isolated and nuclear protein was extracted, DNA binding activity of NF-?B was measured by EMSA. Decoy ODN's competition inhibition effect was assayed by EMSA. IL-6 gene expression in liver tissue was assessed by RT-PCR and IL-6 protein level was determined by ELISA. Results After traumatic inflammation, DNA binding activity of NF-?B in the liver increased. IL-6 mRNA and protein level also significantly increased and was in positive correlation with the activity of NF-?B. Decoy ODN effectively inhibited the activity of NF-?B ex vivo. After using decoy ODN, IL-6 mRNA and protein levels of liver tissue significantly decreased, plasma ALT levels were also significantly decreased. Conclusions Decoy strategy targeted to NF-?B could effectively inhibit rat's liver IL-6 release by inhibiting specifically the activity of NF-?B.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of cefoperazone/sulbactam in the treatment of biliary tract infections.METHODS In this prospective multicenter study,159 hospitalized patients with biliary tract infections received cefoperazone/sulbactam,and the clinical and bacteriological efficacy as well as the side effects were evaluated.RESULTS The clinical effective rate of cefoperazone/sulbactam in the treatment of biliary tract infections was 86.78%.After treatment,the body temperature reduced to normal rapidly,the average time of defervescence was 3.09?1.81 days.Pathogen eradication rate was 85.71%.No adverse reactions were reported during the study period.CONCLUSIONS Cefoperazone/sulbactam can be used as one of antibiotics of choice in the initial empirical therapy for biliary tract infections.
