Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy between preparation porcelain veneer(PPV)and no-preparation porcelain veneer(NPPV).Methods:44 patients with 97 PPVs and 23 patients with 57 NPPVs were followed up for 3 years.Mental tension, postoperative dentin sensitivity and satisfaction of the patients,survival rate of the veneers,sulcus bleeding index(SBI)of preopera-tive and postoperative 3 years were evaluated.A comparative analysis was taken to examine the clinical indicators of 2 groups accord-ing to the modified CDA /Ryge criteria.Results:Survival rates of PPVs and NPPVs were 96.91 % and 96.49%(P >0.05),satisfac-tion rates of the 2 group patients were 95.45% and 95.65%(P >0.05),respectively.Mental tension and the postoperative dentin sensitivity of patients in PPV group was higher than those in NPPV group.Preoperative and postoperative SBI were not statistically dif-ferent between the 2 groups(P >0.05).Marginal adaptation in PPV group was better than that in NPPV group.Color matching, Porcelain surface and Marginal stain were not statistically different between 2 groups.Conclusion:Preparation porcelain veneers and no-preparation porcelain veneers both are effective in clinical application.

Objective　To observe the effects of Ang-Ⅱ on expressions of c-fos mRNA and pro-α1［Ⅰ］mRNA in fibroblasts (FBC) of rat embryo in the course of collagen synthesis.Methods　The change of free Ca2+(［Ca2+］i) was tested in fluorometry and the expressions of c-fos mRNA and pro-α1［Ⅰ］mRNA were tested by RT-PCR method in incubated FBC.Results　The level of［Ca2+］i in FBC and the expressions of c-fos mRNA and pro-α1［Ⅰ］mRNA were enhanced with the increase of Ang-Ⅱ concentration(10-8～10-5and 10-7～10-6mol/L).Conclusions　The expressions of c-fos mRNA and pro-α1［Ⅰ］mRNA were induced by Ang-Ⅱ activating signal system in FBC.

Objective:To determine whether chewing gum during the postoperative period facilitates the recovery of bowel function in patients after radical cystectomy with ileum urinary diversion.Methods:In the study,60 patients who underwent radical cystectomy followed by ileum urinary diversions during Nov.2014 and Nov.2015 in Department of Urology of Peking University First Hospital were randomized into three groups:gum chewing group,placebo group treated with the abdomen physical therapy machine and control group treated with ordinary method.Time to flatus,time to bowel movement,incidence of postoperative distension of the abdomen and abdominal pain,and gut related complications (such as ileus,intestinal fistula,and volrulus)of all the patients were recorded and analysed.Results:In gum chewing group,the median time to flatus was 57 hours (49 -72 hours),and the median time to bowel movement was 95 hours (88 -109 hours),which were significantly shortened compared with the other two groups of patients (82 hours,109 hours in placebo group and 81 hours,108 hours in control group, respectively).No significant difference of the median time to flatus and to bowel movement was observed between placebo group and control group.There were no significant differences in the incidence of post-operative distension of the abdomen and abdominal pain,and gut related complications among the three groups.Conclusion:Chewing gum had stimulatory effect on bowel function recovery after cystectomy fol-lowed by ileum urinary diversion.Chewing gum was safe and simple,and could be routinely used for postoperative treatment after cystectomy and ileum urinary diversion.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the correlation between decocting time (DT), administration dosage (AD) and efficacy of warming Yang of crude lateral root of aconite (CLRA) , and the best DT and AD to efficacy of warming Yang of the CLRA.

METHODAccording to the efficacy of the CLRA supplementing fire and strengthening Yang, several animal models, including a constipation induced by insufficiency of Yang, kidney Yang deficient models, uniform design (UD) and regression analysis were applied to confirm the best DT and AD of the different actions of the CLRA.

RESULTThe CLRA obviously improved the general state of kidney-yang deficiency mice, markedly increased their swimming depleted time in lower temperature, and evidently decreased the defecation latency, promoted defecation amount, and improved peristalsis frequency of intestines and stomach. The best DT and AD were 6 hours and 12 g x kg(-1) respectively for the CLRA to warm the kidney, spleen yang and to smooth defecation.

CONCLUSIONThe CLRA possesses the remarkable efficacy of warming Yang, which is obviously correlated with the DT and AD. The best DT and AD for CLRA to warm Yang are 6 hours and 12 g x kg(-1) respectively.

Objective To observe the effect of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) on type 2 diabetic rats, and to explore the possible mechanism. Methods Type 2 diabetic rats were induced by high-fat diet combined with a low dosage of streptozotocin ( STZ, 25 mg/ kg). After 3 × 106 hMSCs suspended in 1 ml PBS or 1ml 10-fold concentrated hMSC supernatant were intravenously infused into the rats via the tail vein, the blood glucose levels were measured every day. One week later, intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test and insulin tolerance test were performed to evaluate the effects of hMSCs on diabetic rats. Pancreatic tissues were collected for insulin/ glucagon immunofluorescence staining. Results After hMSCs infusion, blood glucose level and homeostasis model of assessment for insulin resistance index were significantly decreased in type 2 diabetic rats(both P<0. 01). The glucose tolerance and insulin tolerance were greatly alleviated by hMSCs(all P<0. 01). Intravenously infused 1ml 10-fold concentrated hMSC supernatant showed a similar result to hMSCs. Conclusion In type 2 diabetic rats, hMSCs are able to effectively lower the blood glucose level, improve insulin sensitivity, and increase the number of β cells, which seems to be mediated by their secreted molecules.

Objective To investigate the role of Ephrin A2 in the regeneration and reinnervation of hair cells in the chick cochlea following kanamycin ototoxicity.Methods 66 newly hatched Roman chickens (3 days old) were randomly divided into experimental group and control groups. Experimental chickens (n=48) received intramuscular kanamycin (200 mg/kg:Sigma,St Louis,MO) for 10 consecutive days and were subsequently sacrificed 2 days before the last injection,and 1,3,7,10,15,21,30,and 60 days after the last injection (n=6 per subgroup). Control chickens (n=18) were untreated and sacrificed 3,13 and 43 days after hatching (n=6 per subgroup). Ephrin A2 protein expression in acoustic ganglia was determined by western blot analysis in all chickens after sacrifice. Results Ephrin A2 protein expression was found and the protein level was almost same in acoustical ganglia of all normal chickens. After kanamycin exposure,the Ephrin A2 protein expression level in the cochlea of the experiment chickens from 2 to 7 days after last kanamycin injection was lower than that in control chickens,respectively. Ephrin A2 expression increased obviously at 15 days after kanamycin last injection. By 30 days after the cessation of kanamycin treatment,the level of Ephrin A2 protein approximated to that in normal control group.Conclusion The expression of Ephrin A2 protein in the acoustical ganglia basically synchronizes with the regeneration and the reinnervation of the hair cells in the chicken cochlea following kanamycin damage,indicating that Ephrin A2 may play an important role in this process.
