Objective To examine the effects of fixed appliance and micro-implant on the improvement of facial profile in patients with protruding.Methods 30 protruding cases were treated by fixed appliance and micro-implant.Cephalometric data before and after treatment were measured and analyzed to assess the effects.Results The upper incisors were retracted 6.5 mm.The upper lip was retracted 3.8 mm.The lower incisors were retracted 5.8 mm.The lower lip was retracted 5.6 mm.UL-E was retracted 3.21 mm.LL-E was retracted 3.67 mm.NLA was changed from 86.7°to 103.7°.The U1-SN,U1-Y,L1-MP,L1-Y,UL-Y,LL-Y,UL-E,LL-E,and NLA demonstrated significant differences between pre-and post-treatment.Conclusions Fixed appliance and micro-implant might retract the anterior teeth and lead to an improvement of facial profile.

Objective To investigate the effects of ionizing radiation on the expression of P21 protein in Jurkat cell line and p21 gene in thymocytes and splenocytes of mice.Methods Flow cytometry (FCM)was used to analyze the expression of P21 protein in Jurkat cells at 12 and 24 h after irradiation to 0,0.5,1.0,2.0,4.0,and 6.0 Gy.Real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of p21 gene in thymocytes and splenocytes of mice at4 and 24 h after irradiation to 0,0.5,1.0,2.0,4.0,and 6.0 Gy.Multi-staining was used to analyze the micronucleus rates of Rct in bone marrow.Results The expressions of P21 protein were increased in a dose-dependent manner during 0.5-4.0 Gy(t=-24.23--3.96,P<0.05),but decreased at 6.0 Gy at 12 and 24 h post-irradiation(t=-11.19,-14.50,P<0.05).The expressions of p2 1 gene in both thymocytes and splenocytes of mice were increased in dose-dependent manner in the range of 0-6.0 Gy(including 6.0 Gy)(t=-29.96-8.80,P<0.05),and reached to the peak at 6.0 Gy at 4 and 24 h post-irradiation(t=-11.84--3.42,P<0.05),except thymocytes at 4 h and 1.0 Gy post-irradiation(t=-3.42,P>0.05).Conclusions The expressions of P21 protein and p21 gene could be increased by X-ray irradiation.which shows good dosedependent manners in certain range of dose.

Objective To develop a method of detecting dry blood spot (DBS) samples collected in the filter paper by using Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERSp,also known as Raman molecular fingerprint spectrum) technology.The possibility and reliability of applying the technology to the newborn screening of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) was investigated.Methods The case-control study was used.The results of CH-hTSH screening test based on the DBS samples collected in the filter paper,and the clinical diagnosis were all provided by neonatal screening center of Shanghai Children's Hospital.The results of SERSp analysis were provided by Dalian University of Technology.Six positive and six negative samples,which were confirmed respectively by CH-hTSH screening using time resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TRFIA) were chosen.With the spectrum lines of 725 cm-1 as internal standard,the SERSp from the aqueous solution of these samples were analyzed.The specific spectrum line analysis,the principal component analysis (PCA) and the scatter diagram of PCA were used to compare the results of TSH test.Results With the spectrum lines of 725 cm-1 as internal standard,the CH specific spectrum lines of 1373 cm-1 and 1400 cm-1 were discovered.They showed the most significant difference of the peak height between the positive and negative samples of CH,while TSH specific spectrum lines of 785 cm-1,827 cm-1 and 853 cm-1 failed to distinguish positive from negative samples with distinct peak height.The consistency between the results of CH-Raman Screening and CH-hTSH Screening was 91.7% (11/12),which was proven by PCA,the scatter diagram of PCA and the specific spectrum line analysis.The sensitivity of CH-Raman Screening was 100% and the specificity was 83.3%.Conclusion There is a new CH-Raman Screening method using the SERSp analysis,which was proven to be a promising technology in the newborn screening of congenital hypothyroidism with the DBS in the filter paper.

Objective To analyze the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of different subtypes of breast cancer patients with bone metastasis.Methods For this study, we recruited 300 primary breast cancer patients with bone metastasis treated at the Department of Oncology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi`an Jiaotong University, between September 1, 2007 and September 1, 2011.We also retrospectively analyzed their clinical and follow-up data.Results The percentage of Luminal A, Luminal B, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) overexpression and triple negative subtypes in all the bone metastatic breast cancer patients was 59.0%, 16.0%, 13.7% and 11.3%, respectively.Age, tumor size and histologic grade significantly differed among the four subtypes (P<0.05).However, there were no significant differences in menopausal status, lymph node metastasis, histological type or lymphovascular invasion among different subtypes (P>0.05).The median survival time of Luminal A breast cancer patients with bone metastasis was 28.6 months, longer than Luminal B (26.9 months), HER-2 overexpression (20.9 months) and triple negative breast cancer patients (12.0 months) with bone metastasis.The overall survival significantly differed among the patients with four subtypes of breast cancer.Conclusion Different subtypes of breast cancer patients with bone metastasis have different clinical characteristics and prognosis.Luminal A breast cancer patients with bone metastasis have better prognosis whereas triple negative subtype has poorer prognosis.

Objective To increase the ability to recognize the characteristic MRI features of multiple sclerosis (MS) in the spinal cord. Methods Fifteen patients with MS underwent MR examination of the cervical spine. The MS plaques were evaluated for lesion location, length,size on cross-section and lesion enhancement. MRI features of intraspinal tumor of spinal cord, cervical spondylopathy of myeloid form and transverse myelitis were analyzed and compared. Results The lesion mainly developed in cervical cord in the 15 patients. The lesions were less than five vertebra body in length. MRI features showed that involved cord segment was mild swollen with smooth periphery in sagittal section;the plaques showed iso-mild hypointense on T 1WI and hyperintense on T 2WI; the plaques were located peripherally and occupied less than 50%of the cross-sectional area of the cord; the lesions in active stage were enhanced by Gd-DTPA or no enhancement, the enhanced size of plaque was smaller than the extent showing hyperintense on T 2WI. The case of several onset showed various enhancement. Conclusion MS of spinal cord has characteristic feature on MRI, this can provide reliable proof for clinical diagnosis.

Objective To study on the value and safety of early endoscopic retrograde cholangiopan-creatography (ERCP)and endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) in acute biliary pancreatitis. Methods Ninety-two patients with acute biliary pancreatitis underwent early ERCP (within 72 hours) and received endoscopic therapy (ERCP group). Another 40 patients with acute biliary pancreatitis were treated conservatively without ERCP (control group). The disappearance of abdominal pain, decrease of serum amylase level, the mean days and costs of hospitalization and complications were observed in all patients. Results In ERCP group, all patients were performed EST, stones in 72 choledocholithiasis patients had been removed with net-basket or air pocket. Ten cases of severe acute biliary pancreatitis received endoscopic pancreatic duct stents drainage. Ninety two cases of acute biliary pancreatitis received endoscopic nasal catheter bile drainage. The days of the disappearance of abdominal pain, the decrease of serum amylase levels, the cost of the hospitalization and the days of the hospitalization were significantly shorter in the early ERCP group than in the control group. The mortalities in ERCP and control group were 8. 3% and 33. 3% respectively. Conclusion Early ERCP endoscopic therapy is a safe procedure has the superiorities in lowering the mortality, hospital days and expense.
