Objective To evaluate the effects of health management of stomatology on the marginal bone resorption of minimally invasive implant in the elderly.Method Tottally 54 implants were placed in 37 elderly patients of missing teeth in maxillary molar areas and the patients were randomly divided into health management group and control group.Patients in the group of health management were guided to master the proper techniques of oral hygiene practices before and after the implantation and periodontal maintenance were carried out carefully until 1 year after loading of restoration.In the control group, oral hygiene was applied. X-ray and CBCT examinations were made and implant marginal alveolar bone loss (MBL) was measured 3, 6, 9, 12 months after loading with Planmeca PROMAX3D software. Besides, 3, 6, 9, 12 months after loading, improved plaque index (iPLI), modified bleeding index (mBI) and probing depth (PD) were also recorded. SPSS 15.0 was applied to analyze the data. Result Differences in diastolic and systolic blood pressure and changes in heart rate in patients during the intraoperative period were (8.86 ± 0.31) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), (19.18 ± 0.22) mmHg, (20.19 ± 1.84) times/min, which were significantly lower than those of the control group values [(16.55±1.08) mmHg, (28.31±2.30) mmHg, (20.19±1.84) times/min] (P<0.05 or 0.01);at 12 months after the load around the implant in oral health management group, the values of MBL and mSBI were 2.6 (2, 4), 2.1 (2, 4), which were significantly better than control group [4.3(3, 7), 4.3(3, 7)] (P<0.01);simultaneously, there was significant difference in the values of MBL and PD between experimental group (1.42 ± 0.03, 0.77 ± 0.24) and control group (1.59 ± 0.04, 0.54 ± 0.17) (P<0.01). Conclusion Well-performed health management of peri-implant could reduce the MBL and keep healthy soft tissue environment around implants.

BACKGROUND: Traditional anterior release followed by posterior correction and fusion is frequently used to treat severe and rigid adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, which is considered as Cobb angle of the major curve > 65° and flexibility < 34.5%; however, there are a great majority of complications. Whether isolated posterior correction using pedicle screw fixation combining with bone grafting and fusion may provide better effects on severe and rigid adolescent idiopathic scoliosis needs to be further studied.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate isolated posterior correction using pedicle screw fixation combining with bone grafting and fusion for the treatment of severe and rigid adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. DESIGN: Case analysis.SETTING: Department of Orthopaedics, Renji Hospital, Medical College of Shanghai Jiao Tong University.PARTICIPANTS: Twenty patients with severe and rigid adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, including 8 males and 12 females, were selected from Department of Orthopaedics, Renji Hospital, Medical College of Shanghai Jiaotong University from June 1999 to August 2005. They were 12-18 years old, and the mean age was 14.6 years. All patients were finally diagnosed as X-ray of whole spine. According to King-Moe criteria, patients were classified into type Ⅰ(n =4), type Ⅱ(n =6), type Ⅲ (n =5), type Ⅳ(n =3) and type Ⅴ(n =2). Before surgery, mean Cobb angle of the major curve was 82° (75°-92°), mean flexibility was 30% (20%-40%), and mean shoulder height difference was 15 mm (5-35 mm). Moreover, according to Risser syndrome, patients were classified into degree 1 (n =3), degree 2 (n =5), degree 3 (n =6), degree 4 (n =5) and degree 5 (n =1). All patients and their relatives provided the informed consents, and the experiment was approved by the local ethical committee. Artificial bone was Osteoset provided by Wright Company, USA.METHODS: Patients underwent isolated posterior correction using pedicle screw fixation combining with bone grafting and fusion, and spinous process, lamina of vertebra, zygapophysial joints and transverse process were exposed in a preconcerted fusion area. Pedicle screw was inserted into strategy vertebra using free hand technique according to the anatomic landmark of entry point. Six patients underwent fixation with TSRH system, and the other patients with CDH M8 system. Operative time and blood loss were evaluated after surgery. At 7 days after operation, Cobb angle was measured with X-ray, and correction rate of major curve was calculated. While shoulder height difference and admission duration were evaluated simultaneously. Complications and recovery states were followed up in the next 4 years.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Operative time and blood loss; ② Cobb angle and correction rate of major curve; ③ shoulder height difference and admission duration; ④ follow-up results.RESULTS: All 20 patients were included in the final analysis. ① Operative time and blood loss: Operative time lasted from 3.2 to 4.3 hours, and the mean time was 3.5 hours. Blood loss ranged from 660 to 1 070 mL, and the mean loss was 865 mL. ② Cobb angle and correction rate of major curve: Cobb angle of the major curve ranged from 82° (75°-92°) before surgery to 31° (22°-37°) after surgery, and the mean correction rate was 62%. ③ Shoulder height difference and admission duration: Mean should height difference before surgery was 15 mm (5-35 mm). Postoperative lateral film of spine indicated that thoracic and lumbar vertebra generally suffered from normal posterior and anterior convexity, and mean shoulder height difference after surgery was 7.5 mm (0-11 mm). The admission duration lasted from 8 to 11 days, and the mean duration was 9 days. ④ Follow-up results: All patients were followed up in the next 4 years after surgery. The cobb angle correction of major curve remained unchanged, and the instrumented segments were completely fused without instrumentation failure.CONCLUSION: Isolated posterior correction using pedicle screw fixation combining with bone grafting and fusion may effectively cure severe and rigid adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, which is considered as Cobb angle of the major curve between 75° and 92° and flexibility ≥ 20%.

Objective To provide the basis for early detection and treatment of precancerous lesions of gastric carcinoma, and reference for early discovery, diagnoses and treatment of gastric cancer, by examining the differences of expression of Helicobaeter pylori (Hp), both in the gastric mueosa and in blood serum, between precancerous lesions of gastric carcinoma patients and gastric cancer patients. Methods Used immunechromatographic method and protein chip system to determine the expression of Hp in blood serum and used immunohistochemistry to detect the expression of Hp in gastric mucosa. The patients had been diagnosed by pathological methods, 170 patients with precancerous lesions of gastric carcinoma, 111 patients with gastric carcinoma and 31 patients with superficial gastritis. Results The expression of Hp was detected on every stage of precancerous lesions and gastric carcinoma. Compared with the detection rates of Hp, precancerous lesions of gastric carcinoma was higher than gastric carcinoma and superficial gastritis, superficial gastritis was the lowest. The differences of the three were significant (P<0.01). The detection rate of Hp in the gastric mueosa (86.2%, 66.7%, 38.7%, respectively)was obviously higher than in blood serum (80.6%, 52.3%, 32.3%, respectively). Conclusions Hp participates in the process of the precancerous lesions and gastric carcinoma. The expression of Hp both in the gastric mueosa and in the blood serum could be one of the indexes, which might report the process and curative effect of precancerous lesions. With such advantages as simple and applicability, the detection of Hp in the blood serum could be used widely. The endoscopy and the detection of Hp in the gastric mucosa are suggested for patients with Hp positive in the blood serum.

Clinical data of 23 patients with T2a bladder cancer admitted from March 2008 to August 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Among 23 patients,11 cases were treated with transurethral resection (TURBT) plus arterial catheterization chemotherapy (study group) and 12 cases were treated with radical cystectomy (control group).The overall survival time and recurrence free survival time of two groups were compared.Patients in study group were followed up for 20-68 months,recurrence occurred in 5 cases (5/11),including 4 cases of invasive recurrence;patients in control group were followed up for 2 ～86 months,1 case had superficial recurrent and underwent TURBT,2 cases dead due to bladder tumor.During the course of chemotherapy,the main adverse effects were digestive reaction (7/11),fever (4/11),bone marrow suppression (2/11),symptomatic treatment was given,which was tolerated.There were no significant differences in overall survival time and recurrence free survival time between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The quality of life of study group was better than that of control group (P ＜ 0.05).It is suggested that the arterial interventional chemotherapy combined with transurethral resection for T2a stage invasive bladder cancer has a certain curative effect with the advantage of preservation of bladder function and higher quality of life.

ObjectiveTo observe the role of Sijunzi decoction on the gut barrier protection and immunity regulation in spleen-qi deficiency type patients with persistent inflammation-immunosuppression catabolism syndrome (PICS).Methods A prospective study was conducted, and according to random number table, 46 patients with PICS accompanied by spleen-qi deficiency admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine of Beijing Shijitan Hospital of Capital Medical University were randomly divided into two groups: control group and Sijunzi decoction group(each 23 cases). Conventional therapy was given to both groups, and the patients in Sijunzi decoction group were additionally treated with modified Sijunzi decoction 100 mL by nasal feeding, while those in the control group were treated with an equal amount of warm boiled water by nasal feeding. The course of treatment was 2 weeks in both groups. The improvement in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) syndrome and gastrointestinal function was observed in two groups before and after treatment. At the same time, the changes of lymphocyte subsets including total T cells(CD3+ cells),helper/inducer T cells(CD3+/CD4+T cells), suppressor/cytotoxic T cells(CD3+/CD8+ T cells), CD4/CD8, total natural killer cells(NK cell,CD3-/CD16+CD56+ cells),natural killer like T cells(NK T cell,CD3+/CD16+CD56+ T cells),total B cells(CD19+ cells),regulatory T cells(Treg T cells, CD4+/CD25+ T cells),suppressor T cells(CD8+/CD28- T cells) and cytotoxic T cells(CD8+/CD28+ T cells)were analyzed.Results① There were no differences in the acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ)score,acute gastrointestinal injury(AGI)grades and peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets between Sijunzi decoction group and control group before treatment( allP>0.05).② After 2 weeks of treatment, all the patients' clinical symptoms of spleen-qi deficiencywere improved, and there was no difference in effect between the Sijunzi decoction and control group(valid:11 cases vs. 6 cases, invalid:12 cases vs.17 cases, bothP>0.05) . In both groups, the patients' AGI condition was improved, but the improvement in treatment group was more significant than that in the control group(valid: 14 cases vs. 7 cases, P<0.05) .③ In the control group,the numbers of CD3+, CD3+/CD8+,CD8+/CD28- T cells after treatment were increased significantly〔CD3+:(62.37±7.83)% vs.(54.08±11.65)%, CD3+/CD8+:(31.52±10.55)% vs. (23.94±9.22)%, CD8+/CD28-:(24.97±10.25)% vs.(16.78±10.55)%〕 and CD19+ number was decreased obviously〔(5.78±5.33)% vs.(9.73±8.02)%〕 at the same time(allP<0.05). After treatment, in the Sijunzi decoction group, the numbers of CD3+,CD3+/CD4+, CD3+/CD8+, CD8+/CD28-, CD8+/CD28+ T cells were increased significantly compared with those before treatment〔CD3+:(74.53±7.64)% vs.(52.98±10.05)%, CD3+/CD4+:(36.27±12.08)% vs.(30.00±8.60)%, CD3+/CD8+:(37.33±12.56)% vs.(22.88±9.97)%, CD8+/CD28-:(26.89±10.80)% vs.(17.01±9.48)%, CD8+/CD28+:(12.08±5.50)% vs.(8.47±4.29)%〕, and total CD19+ number was decreased remarkably at the same time〔(4.60±4.28)% vs.(9.86±8.61)%,P<0.05〕. In the Sijunzi decoction group, after 2 weeks of treatment, the number of CD3+ T cells was increased more significantly than that in the control group〔(8.29±9.28)% vs.(5.80±5.33)%,P<0.05〕.ConclusionUsing Sijunzi decoction combined with conventional therapy can improve the clinical symptoms of patients with PICS accompanied by spleen-qi deficiency and gastrointestinal dysfunction, the mechanism is possibly via enhancing immunity by regulating the numbers of B and T lymphocytes, and maybe the cell-mediated immunity plays a more prominent role.
