This article is about to discuss the basic need of oral medicine post-graduate clinical training,and analyize some elements of clinical ability to provide a reference training model for more effective and practical demand for clinical teaching methods of the post-graduate clinical.

Objective To quantify the incidental irradiation dose (ⅡD) to lymph node stations of esophagus when treating patients with T1-4N0 M0 thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) with a dose of 60 Gy/30f.Methods Twenty-nine patients with medically inoperable T1-4N0M0 thoracic ESCC were treated with three-dimensional radiotherapy on involved-field.The conformal CTV was re-created using a 3 cm margin in the proximal and distal direction (following the course of the esophagus) beyond the barium esophagogram,endoscopic examination and CT defined GTV and a 0.5 cm margin in the lateral and anteroposterior directions of the CT defined GTV.The PTV encompassed 1 cm proximal and distal margins,0.5 cm radiaI margin on the basis of CTV.Cervical,mediastinal and abdominal lymph nodes were delineated respectively.Equivalent uniform dose (EUD) and other dosimetric paraneters were calculated for each nodal station.Nodal region whose metastasis rate is greater than 5％ was considered a high risk lymph node subgroups.Results Under a 60 Gy dose prescription,the median Dmean and EUD,V40 and V50 were ≥40 Gy,≥85％ and ≥75％ in most of the high risk nodal regions.For the subgroups whose EUD were less than 40 Gy,most of the ⅡD of these regions was significantly associated with the length and location of esophageal tumor (r =0.892,P =0.000).Conclusions Lymph node stations nearby of ESCC received considerable ⅡD with involved-field irradiation which could control subclinical lesions.But more clinical studies should be needed.

OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to investigate the effects of different tooth preparations on the fracture strength and pattern of failure of teeth with severe wedge-shaped defect restored with post and core crowns.

METHODSAccording to whether the teeth above the wedge-shaped defect was removed (represented by B) or not (represented by A), the ferrule next to the wedge-shaped defect was prepared (represented by D) or not (represented by C), the cast post-and-core was chosen (represented by E) or glass-fiber post and resin core was chosen (represented by F). A total of 64 human mandibular premolar teeth were randomly divided into 8 groups: A1-1 (A + C + E), A1-2 (A + C + F), A2-1 (A + D + E), A2-2 (A + D + F), B1-1 (B + C + E), B1-2 (B + C + F), B2-1 (B + D + E), B2-2 (B + D + F), each group 8 teeth. All the teeth were prepared and restored accordingly and then mounted on an electronic pressure universal testing machine. The maximum fracture strength and the patterns of failure were recorded.

RESULTS1) The fracture strength of Group A1-1 > that of Group B1-1, Group A1-2 > Group B1-2, Group B2-1 > Group B1-1, and Group B2-1 > Group B2-2 with significant differences (P < 0.05). 2) The patterns of repairable fracture in Group A1-2 and B1-2 were both 37.5%, and that of the other groups were 0. Furthermore, the difference was significant, and Group A1-2 and B1-2 were higher than other groups.

CONCLUSIONThe maintenance of the overhang above the severe wedge-shaped defect aid in the improvement of the fracture strength of the tooth restored with post and core crown. The ferrule of the wedge-shaped defect is not recommended to be prepared. Furthermore, the glass-fiber post and resin core is favorable for the re-repair of the teeth than the cast post and core.

Objective To explore the changes of tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?) in serum and cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myelogenous leukemia(AML) and its clinical significance.Methods TNF-? in serum and CSF were measured by radioimmunoassay and CSF samples were obtained from 31 cases of childhood acute leukemia before treatment, on complete remission(CR), and continuous CR.Results Serum TNF-? was in ALL and AML before treatment [(24.35?4.84) pmol/L and(28.65?5.12) pmol/ L],which were significantly higher than those of healthy controls[(11.2 8? 1.69) pmol/L, P

AIM: To express chimeric toxin Stx2a’-LHRH a nd to investigate the cytotoxic activity of recombinant toxin Stx2a’-LHRH to huma n carcinoma cells.METHODS: Stx2a’-LHRH sequences that added the res tri ction endonucleases NcoⅠ and EcoRⅠ at the 5' and 3 ends were amplified by PCR a nd digested with appropriate restriction enzymes. The digested fragment was subc loned into the vector obtatined by digestion of plasmid pET-28a(+) with NcoⅠ an d EcoRⅠ. E. coli BL21 (DE3) cells were transformed with plasmids of interst and cultured in LB medium containing ampicillin. Expression of the recombinant protein was induced by the addition of isopropylthio-?-D-galactoside (IPTG). T h e cytotoxity of Stx2a’-LHRH to Hep-2 cells was observed under the microscop y. RESULTS: Recombitant plasmid pET-SL was constructed successfu lly and the clones expressing pET-SL stablely were obtained. A special electroph oretic band in SDS-PAGE (a glycoprotein of 28kD) was noted. Stx2a’-LHRH killed He lp-2 cells clearly. CONCLUSION: In this study, construction of c himeric toxin Stx2a’-LHRH and its expression were described. Moreover, it has o bvious cytotoxity to Hep-2 cell. These finding could open up new vistas in the s tudy of targeted durgs.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the diagnostic value of “taller-than-wide sign” of thyroid malignancy in transverse and longitudinal plane using ultrasound.Methods708 thyroid lesions including 302 benign nodules and 406 malignant nodules ( 390 papillary carcinomas,12 medullary carcinomas,4 follicular carcinomas) that were diagnosed at surgery were included in this study.The sensitivity and specificity of “taller-than-wide sign” in transverse (A/TC ≥ 1 ) and longitudinal plane (A/TL ≥ 1 ) were evaluated using ultrasound.All thyroid malignant lesions were divided into three groups according to size of the nodules:group A≤1 cm; group B≤2 cm,group C＞2 cm.The sensitivity of each group was also evaluated.ResultsThe constituent ratio of “taller-than-wide sign” between benign and malignant nodules was significantly different (P＜0.001 ).The differences of sensitivity of A/TL ≥ 1 and A/TC ≥ 1 among three groups were also found( P ＜0.001),and the sensitivity of A/Tc≥1 was higher than A/TL≥1.ConclusionsA/TC≥1 found by ultrasound contributes to differentiate the thyroid carcinoma from benign nodules.For a large thyroid lesion,other indicators are needed to diagnose thyroid carcinoma.

When it is cold winter in the northern China, the temperature of water is very low. Low tempera- ture is the main reason of the worse treatment of oil wastewater. In cold winter when the temperature is lowered to around 4?C, the effect of biological treatment of sewage is poor and hard to target the problem of reach a set standard of outing water. Use of microbiology to deal with oil pollution is one of the most effective, the most secure and the most thorough method. So the article from the microbiological point of view to study, isolated from nature world, screening to eight low-temperature grease which can grow under 5?C and degradation of sewage bacteria.

Objective To explore the relationship between genetic variation in PAF-AH V279F and coronary heart disease among Han population in Beijing.Methods A case-control study was held which enrolled 124 patients with coronary heart disease and 103 normal subjects.The genotype of PAF-AH V279F was determined with allele-specific polymerase chain reaction(AS-PCR)method. Results The highest frequency of PAF-AH V279F genetic variation was VV genotype(92.2%),the next was VF genotype(5.8%)and the lowest was FF genotype(2.0%)among the studied Han population in Beijing.In the coronary heart disease group the frequency of 279 V→F carriers was significantly higher than in the control group(19.3% vs.7.8%,P＜0.05)and F allele frequency was also higher(12.1% vs.4.9%,P＜0.01).Among the coronary heart disease group,the V279F variation frequency and the F allele frequency were significantly higher in patients with myocardial infarction than in those without myocardial infarction(27.3% vs.13.0%,17.3% vs.8.0%,both P＜0.05).In multiple logistic regression analysis,the odds ratio(OR)of V279F genetic variation for coronary heart disease was 1.919(95% CI:1.448-2.544,P=0.033).Conclusions The PAF-AH V279F genetic variation may be a novel genetic marker for high risk of coronary heart disease.
