Objective: To study the influence of anterior crossbite on the position and morphology of teeth. Methods: 81 teenagers with permanent dentition and anterior crossbite were in volved in group 1 and 95 teenagers in permanent dentition without anterior crossbite in group 2. The teeth in both groups were compared on their position and morphology. Results:① The percentage of ill-positioned teeth in maxilla in group 1 and in group 2 was 14.0% and 8.8% respectively (P

Angiogensis plays an important role in tumor growth and metastasis,and anti-angiogenic therapy is a promising treatment of cancer. We review the proceedings on angiogensis and breast cancer ,and the progress in the field of anti-angiogenic therapy for breast cancer.

To observe the changes in hemorheology, endotoxin and TNF ? in blood after hemoperfusion(HP) with adsorbent immobilized polymyxin B (PMB) on sepsis in rats. Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups:LPS+HP+PMB,LPS+HP and LPS. All the rats received intravenously injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS, Escherichia coil O111:B4,1mg/kg). Plasma of the rats in the group of LPS+HP+PMB was passed through a column containing sepharose coated activated charcoal immobilized polymyxin B at the 4th hour after LPS injection. The treated plasma was transfused bak after being mixed with blood cells. In LPS+HP group, the column did not contain immobilized polymyxin B. The animals of LPS group received LPS only. Quantitative endotoxin determination in blood was done with limulus amebocyte lysate test,TNF ? of the plasma assayed with ELISA, and hemorheology parameters were also observed after hemoperfusion. In LPS+HP+PMB group, the concentration of plasma was significantly decreased after hemoperfusion, but it was still significantly higher than the baseline value, and there was a decrease of blood cell ratio after hemoperfusion. The results suggest that specific adsorbent could remove endotoxin in the circulation and improve hemorheology.

Objective:To establish a method for determining the immunological activity of ribonucleic acid. Methods: Leucocyte adherence inhibition test ( LAI) was applied, and the important parameters of LAI including the mouse strain, drug concentration, treatment time, content of buffer solution and cell density were researched. The immunological activity of RNAⅠ, Ⅱand Ⅲ was re-spectively determined by the method. Results:Stable and reliable parameters were obtained: the sample concentration was 10 mg· ml-1 , the treatment time was 2 hours, Ca2+ and Mg2+ were necessary for the buffer solution, and the cell density was about 4 × 107 cell·ml-1 . The strain of mouse showed no effect on the results. As a result, the determination method for immunological activity was established. Using the method, the immunological activity of RNA Ⅰ,Ⅱand Ⅲ was determined 3 times, and the results met the re-quirements with RSD below 20%. Conclusion:The method is suitable for determining the immunological activity of RNA.

Accurate qualitative and quantitative assessment of anterior or posterior segment structures is crucial,not only for proper diagnosis of different ocular diseases but also for optimal surgical planning and postoperative follow-up.As a noninvasive and noncontact method,optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become an essential tests for the diagnosis of retinal diseases.To a more recent technology,swept-source OCT (SS-OCT) improved the depth of imaging and the scan speed,which can perform anterior segment evaluation liking corneal graft examination.Meanwhile,this newly technology add multimodal approach such as EVV,OCTA and En face OCT,for angiography and choroid mapping.Thus,SS-OCT has become a valuable imaging strategy to understand the pathologies of retinal diseases such as PVD,diabetic maculopathy,neovascularization and macular telangiectasia.With the use of multimodal approach,SS-OCT is beneficial for optimal surgical planning and postoperative follow-up for the vitreoretinal diseases,such as epiretinal membrane,retinal detachment,and diabetic taction retinal detachment.Moreover,this technology can help us better understand the ophthalmic pathologies of glaucoma and tumors.This article reviews the technical principles of SS-OCT and the advances in clinical applications.

Objective To study the prevention and treatment of chylous leakage after Whipple operation.Methods Clinical data of 381 patients underwent Whipple operation from Jan 2010 to march 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Results Among 381 patients,23 patients had chylous leakage,the incidence was 6.04％.While in 89 patients,in which intraoperative precautionary physical ligation or mattress suturing of the lymphatic vessels were undertaken,no chyle leakage occurred ; Most of chyle leakage occurred in malignant tumor after radical resection(21 patients),most chylous leakage was found 5-8 days after surgery,with daily volume of 260-450 ml.All patients of chylous leakage were cured by conservative treatment.Conclusions Chylous leakage are common in PD.Intraoperative preventive measures such as lymphatic duct ligation or safe suturing can effectively prevent chyle leakage.Conservative therapy heals most chylous leakage after Whipple operation.
