Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2013;20(3):351-353
Objective To compare the clinical effect of artificial tooth selections in complete denture restoration of edentulous jaws patients.Methods 76 cases with complete denture restoration of edentulous patients were divided into three groups according to prevalence and artificial tooth selection of different candidates.The complete denture satisfaction was compared after treatment for 3 months.Results The artificial teeth of full denture patients,speech,mastication,appearance,retention and comfort and so on for Class Ⅰ and Class Ⅱ patients had no significant difference (all P > 0.05).The artificial teeth of full denture,selection of long median synthesis resin dental patients in speech,mastication and retention of satisfaction than selected anatomic occlusal resin teeth in Class Ⅲ for a choice of two different had significant differences (t =2.014,2.217,2.314,all P <0.05),but the appearance and comfort had no significant differences (t =1.023,0.957,all P > 0.05).Conclusion Everything into must be taken into account when complete denture restoration are carried out for edentulous jaws patients.

Objective The calcium oxalate stone is the most common type of the kidney stones.By building the rat renal calcium oxalate stone model, preliminary study the function of CaSR-Claudin14 regulating pathways on renal calcium oxalate stone for-mation model in rats. Methods 30 Male S-D rats were randomly divided into control group (n=15) and model group (n=15). Adult male S-D rats were given ethylene glycol and ammonium chloride to induce urolithiasis.Application of full automatic biochemical analyzer to test rat renal function and the changes of urine biochemical index.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of CaSR protein;RT-PCR was used to detect the Claudin-14 mRNA expression;Western Blotting was used to detect the expression of CaSR and Claudin-14 protein respectively. Results By observing model group has large stones crystallization under light microsco-py;model group rats 24 h urine calcium are significantly higher than control group([9.66 ±1.10]mmol vs [3.26 ±0.60]mmol, P<0.01); and model group 24 h urine volume are significantly higher than control group ([21.27 ±1.08]mL vs [13.2 ±0.55]mL, P<0.01 ); and urinary PH has no significant difference between the groups( P >0.05 ) .Expression of Claudin-14 mRNA in the model group is significantly higher than normal control group([0.150 ± 0.004] vs [0.047 ±0.008], P<0.01); Expression of Claudin-14 protein in the model group is significantly higher than normal control group([1.526 ±0.089] vs 0, P<0.01).Expression of CaSR protein in the model group is significantly higher than normal control group([6.697 ±0.051] vs [5.016 ±0.053], P<0.05). Conclusion CaSR can raise the expression of Claudin-14, increase re-nal tubular urinary calcium excretion to promote renal calcium oxalate stone formation.

Objective To study the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) combined with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on endogenous neural atem cells, as well as learning and memory in rats with cerebral ischemia. Methods One hundred and twenty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: a normal group, a model group, an EA group, a rTMS group and an EA plus rTMS group. After establishing acute middle cer-ebral artery occlusion, the rats in the various experimental groups were treated with EA, rTMS or EA plus rTMS. The rats' ability to avoid an electric shock was observed using a jumping stand, Immunohistochemical techniques were used to measure the infarct area and the number of Brdu-positive cells. Results A small quantity of Brdu labelled cells was observed in the subgranular zone (SGZ) and the subventricular zone (SVZ) in rats in the normal group. In the EA, rTMS and EA plus rTMS groups, the numbers of Brdu labelled cells in the SVZ and SGZ was significantly higher than in the model group after both 7 and 14 days. The expression of Brdu around the SVZ and SGZ of the 3 treatment groups increased, especially in the EA plus rTMS group. At 7, 14 and 28 d there was significant improve-ment in the neural function and electric shock avoidance test scores in the EA, rTMS and EA plus rTMS groups com-pared with the model group,with the EA plus rTMS animals scoring best. Conclusion EA plus rTMS can promote the proliferation of nerve stem cells, facilitate neurological recovery and improve learning and memory in rats after cerebral ischemia.
4.Research progress of microRNAs in sepsis-associated acute kidney injury
Chinese Critical Care Medicine 2022;34(5):556-560
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction syndrome caused by the host's maladjusted response to infection, and is one of the important causes of acute kidney injury (AKI). Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) has a high incidence, poor prognosis and high mortality. The pathogenesis of SA-AKI is very complex, and its pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated. Therefore, finding effective biomarkers for early diagnosis, treatment, disease development and prognosis of SA-AKI is an urgent clinical problem.

Objective To investigate the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on social function and life quality of schizophrenia in long-term hospitalization.Methods Sixty patients met with ICD-10 for schizophrenia in long-term hospitalization were enrolled in this study.The group was divided randomly into research (n =40) and control (n =40) groups.They were given rTMS or sham stimulation,respectively.The treatment was given 20 times,and the course of treatment was 4 weeks.The research and control groups were assessed with measured the scale of social function in psychosis inpatients and personal and social function scale and schizophrenia quality of life scale before and'after 4 weeks treatment.Each test result of all groups before and after treatment was compared with each other,respectively.Results Compared to rTMS before treatment,the study group scale of social function in psychosis inpatients (SSPI) total score,factor Ⅰ,Ⅱ and personal and social function scale (PSP) scores were significantly increased (P < 0.05),no change of SSPI factor (P > 0.05);the study group Schizophrenia Quality of Life Scale (SQLS) total score,psychological and social power,the energy scale scores were significantly reduced (P < 0.05),SQLS symptoms and side effects scale showed no significant difference (P > 0.05).No significant change was found in the scores of project SSPI,PSP and SQLS in control group before and after treatment (P > 0.05);the difference of each parameter between two groups after treatment were statistically significant (P < 0.05).Conclusions Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation could improve on social function and life quality of schizophrenia in long-term hospitalization,rTMS could provide a new way for the individual rehabilitation of schizophrenia in long-term hospitalization.
