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 To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the iodized oil,diatrizoate and non-ionic iohexol used as contrast media in performing hysterosalpingography and to evaluate the modified hysterosalpingography in clinical practice.Methods Patients who were scheduled to receive hysterosalpingography were randomly selected and divided into three conventional groups:iodized oil group,diatrizoate group and iohexol group,with 100 cases in each group.Another 100 cases(modified group) were examined with modified hysterosalpingographic technique by using iohexol as contrast medium.During the procedure and after the hysterosalpingography all the patients were carefully observed.The image quality,the fallopian tube patent rate,the incidence of abdominal pain,clinical safety,etc.were documented and the results were compared among groups.The advantages of modified hysterosalpingographic technique were analyzed.Results No significant difference in image quality and the fallopian tube patent rate existed among the three conventional groups.The occurrence of abdominal pain in iohexol group was significantly lower than that in both iodized oil group and diatrizoate group(?2 = 10.54,P

Objective To explore the effect of non-directed musical therapy on the automatic thoughts and therapeutic effect of depression.Methods 60 people outpatient and inpatient who with depression disorder participated in this research.According to the medical order,we choose the people who with Cardinality order as the group of the musical therapy (study group) and the people with the even order as the group of drug therapy (control group).all the patients was test with the Hamilton's Depression Scale (HAMD-24) and Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire (ATQ) before and after 2,4,8 weeks treatment,and comparison of these questionnaires scores of the two groups.Results After the 2,4,8 weeks treatment,the HAMD scores of the study group was (15.70±2.63),(10.03±2.28),(6.00± 1.98) and the scores of control group was (17.43±2.62),(12.47±2.75),(7.50±2.03).The result of HAMD scores had significant difference(F=11.754,P=0.001).ATQ scores of the study group was (73.27± 17.60),(58.33± 13.66),(47.43± 11.94) and the scores of control group was(84.20±22.30),(72.53±20.86),(58.90± 18.61).The result of ATQ scores had significant difference(F=4.136,P=0.047).Conclusion Non-directive musical imagery could be an effective way to improve the automatic thoughts of people who with depression disorder and improve the effect of treatment.

95%) was performed in 62 cases, a subtotal resection (76%~95%) was performed in 6 cases, and a partial resection (≤75%), 2 cases. No peri-operative deaths occurred. Transient diabetes insipidus was noted in 24 cases and was cured within 3 weeks after operation. Nasal cerebrospinal fluid leakage was observed in 8 cases, 5 of which spontaneously recovered after 2 weeks of bed rest, and 3 of which were cured by lumbar cistern drainage. Follow-up observations for 3 months ~ 2 years (mean, 7 months) in 48 cases found 2 cases of recurrence. Conclusions Transnasal transseptal transsphenoidal approach adenomectomy is an effective and minimally invasive procedure, with simplicity to performance, short operative time and fewer complications.

Objective To study the correlation of NF-?B expression with the grade, the stage, the recurrence, the metastasis and PKC expression of bladder transitional cell carcinoma. Methods The expression of NF-?B and PKC was examined with SP immunohistochemical method in 54 cases of paraffin-embedded bladder transitional cell carcinomas tissues and 13 cases of normal bladder tissues. Results The positive expression rate of NF-?B P65 and PKC in bladder transitional cell carcinomas was 88 9% and 81 5% respectively. The expression rate of NF-?B decreased along with pathological grade and clinical stage increased, while its expression increased along with the rate of recurrence and metastasis elevated. There was a positive relationship between NF-?B and PKC expressions. Conclussion NF-?B may play a role at early stage of bladder transitional cell carcinoma. It probably serves as an index to evaluate the malignant extent and progression of bladder transitional cell carcinoma. PKC probably takes part in the activation process of NF-?B.

Acute spinal cord injury can lead to severe motor,sen-sory and sphincter muscle dysfunction.Inflammatory response caused by inflammatory cytokines plays a crucial role in the oc-currence and development of secondary damage.Maintaining the body balance between inflammaion and anti-inflammation through an appropriate anti-inflammatory intervention will be an important strategy for drug therapy of spinal cord injury.This paper mainly introduces the cause,process and participation of inflammatory response in the pathophysiological mechanism of acute spinal cord injury,and also reviews the latest progress of experimental research of anti-inflammatory drugs,aiming to provide reference for finding the safe and effective drugs.

Spinal cord injury is a kind of disease with high disability rate and poor prognosis. According to the degree of injury and damage plane, adopting appropriate rehabilitation measures can effectively enhance the patient's sensory and motor function, and ultimately improve the quality of life. This article briefly introduced the content of rehabilitation training corresponding with various periods, and summarized that relieving the secondary injury, improving the regenerative microenvironment, promoting proliferation and differentiation of endogenous neural stem cells differentiation and inducing plasticity were the biological mechanisms underlying the effect of rehabilitation training.

BACKGROUND: There are so many experimental and clinical researches on levels of nitrogen monoxide (NO) in serum and endothelins in plasma of patients with stroke; however, ratio and significance between them are still unclear.OBJECTIVE: To observe dynamic changes of levels of NO in serum and endothelins in plasma of patients with stroke.DESIGN: Case-controlled observation.SETTING: Neurological Department and Clinical Neurological Laboratory of the Second Hospital affiliated to Suzhou University.PARTICIPANTS: A total of 216 patients with acute cerebral infarction including 133 males and 83 females and 112 cases with cerebral hemorrhage including 68 males and 44 females were selected from Neurological Department of the Second Hospital affiliated to Suzhou University from September 1999 to December 2001. Another 106 subjects including 63males and 43 females were regarded as healthy control group.METHODS: Contents of NO in serum and endothelins in plasma were measured on 328 patients with stroke and 106 healthy subjects in the courses of 1-3 days, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks with nitrate reductase and radio-immunity methods, respectively.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Contents of NO in serum and endothelins in plasma; ratio between NO in serum and endothelins in plasma (NO/endothelins).RESULTS: ① As compared with those in the control group, content of NO in serum of patients with cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage was decreased and reached the lowest value during acute period (within 1-3 days), and then increased gradually and closed to the normal level at about 4 weeks. In addition, content of endothelins in plasma was increased obviously during acute period, reached the peak at 2 weeks, and then decreased gradually. The level was still high at stage of recovery and closed to normal value within 4-8 weeks. ② As compared with that in the control group, NO/endothelins was decreased in cerebral infarction group at the courses of 1-3 days (P ＜ 0.05), reached the lowest value at 1 week (P ＜ 0.001), and increased to the normal level at 2 weeks. Moreover,NO/endothelins was remarkably decreased in cerebral hemorrhage group at the courses of 1-3 days (P ＜ 0.001), reached the lowest value at 1week (P ＜ 0.001), and increased gradually. The changes of course were great and the level reached above normal value at 8 weeks. There was significant difference of dynamic changes of NO/endothelins between cerebral hemorrhage group and cerebral infarction group (P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: NO and endothelins play an important role in onset and development of ischemic cerebrovascular disease and hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease, and their contents are related to prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effects of supported employment(SE) on the vocational rehabilitation for schizophrenic rehabilitants.Methods 108 schizophrenic rehabilitants with stable conditions were recruited and randomly allocated into the control group and experimental group.Fifty-four cases in the control group received the general outpatient service and follow-up service with drug maintenance therapy and 54 cases in the experimental group received SE with drug maintenance therapy.At the baseline and the end of the sixth month,all of the 108 cases were assessed by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and Work-related Social Skills Scale (WSSS) respectively.The competitive employment rate and average working days of the two groups were evaluated at the end of the sixth month.Results There was no significant difference in the total score of WSSS,and the total score of PANSS and its sub-scores on the Positive Scale,Negative Scale and General Psychopathological Scale betweeu the two groups at the baseline(P＞ 0.05).At the cnd of the sixth months,significant differences (P＜0.01 ～ 0.05) were found in the total score of WSSS,the sub-score of the Negative Scale,the competitive employment rate and the average working days((35.11 ± 12.71) d vs(20.15 ± 8.04) d) between the experimental and control groups.Conclusion SE can increase the employment rate of schizophrenic rehabilitants,improve their abilities to acquire and maintain competitive employment,and meanwhile relieve their negative symptoms.
