Objective To investigate the biomechanical changes of internal maxillary distraction with fixation between cleft palate.Methods Three-dimensional FEM models of LeFort Ⅰ osteotomy and soft tissue in CLP maxillary complex were established.Two different conditions were simulated:one was the cleft palate connected by a titanium plate,and the other was the cleft retained.Internal midface distraction which applied in clinic were simulated.Fixation points of the distraction devices on the LeFort Ⅰ osteotomy complex were advanced by 10 mm in the direction of frontage.Biomechanical changes for different conditions were investigated by means of finite element analyses.Results LeFort Ⅰ osteotomy of maxillary complex area in CLP was advanced.Constrictions occurred in alveolar crest and palate,when the cleft was retained.Constriction of alveolar crest and palate was not obvious,when the cleft palate was connected by a titanium plate.There were no differences between sagittal and vertical displacement to internal distraction in LeFort Ⅰ osteotomy.Clockwise rotation occurred in vertical direction.Conclusions Internal maxillary distraction with fixation between cleft palate could avoid constriction of alveolar crest and palate.It provides the options and reference to the surgical plans.

Objective To detect the normal value of the fetal middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity (MCA-PSV) with Doppler ultrasonography, and to investigate the association between MCA-PSV and fetal anemia. Methods Doppler ultrasonography was performed in 535 normal pregnant women from the 14th to the 40th week of gestation. MCA-PSV was measured, and the standard value of the normal fetal MCA-PSV was established. Fetuses with abnormal high MCA-PSV were assessed with a standard of MCA-PSV＞mean vale of gestational weeks+2 standard deviation or 1.5 multiples of mean value of gestational weeks. Results The value of normal fetal MCA-PSV correlated well with the gestational weeks (linear regression equation was: MCA-PSV＝-9.955+1.561×weeks; r＝0.795, P<0.0001). Using 1.5 multiples of the mean of different gestational weeks to diagnose the moderate and severe fetal anemia, 7 fetuses were screened out of 209 of obstetric ultrasonography; 4 of them had MCA-PSV＞1.5 multiples of mean value of gestational weeks and were proved with induced labor. Conclusion The value of 1.5 multiples of mean value of gestational weeks of fetal MCA-PSV in prenatal ultrasonography might be an important clue for the diagnosis of fetal anemia.

The oral glucose tolerance test,insulin release test and C peptide relea se test were carried out in 69 hypertensive patients and 55 normotensive subjects. It was found that,the concentrations of blood glucose,serum insulin and C peptide and the occurrence rates of glucose metabolic abnormality(diabetes mellitus and impaired glucose tolerance)of hypertensive group were higher than those of normotensive control group.The co-existence of hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia suggests the existence of insulin resistance.

Objective:To compare of the effects of laparoscopic and open radical hysterectomy on the serum Interleukin-4(IL-4),interleukin-10 (IL-10),tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α) and Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) levels of Patients with Cervical Cancer.Methods:64 patients of cervical cancer who were treated from March 2014 to September 2016 in our hospital were selected as research objects.The patients were randomly divided into the abdominal cavity group and open group.The operative time,blood loss,postoperative ventilation time and the levels of IL-4,IL-10,TNF-a and IFN-γin serum before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.Results:The intraoperative blood loss and postoperative ventilation time were significantly lower or shorter in the abdominal cavity group than in the open group (P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the operation time between the two groups (P＞0.05).There were no significant differences in the levels of serum IL-4,IL-10,TNF-α and IFN-γ between the two groups before operation(P＞0.05);The serum IL-4 level was significantly lower than that of the open group during the operation (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the other three index between the other three groups and the laparotomy group (P＞0.05).The serum levels of IL-4,IL-10,TNF-α and IFN-γ in the abdominal cavity group were significantly lower than those of the laparotomy group on the 1 st and 7th day after operation(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Laparoscopic radical mastectomy in cervical intraoperative less blood loss and more secure.The effect of IL-4,IL-10,TNF-α and IFN-γin the postoperative patients was more obvious.Conducive to the recovery of patients after surgery.

0.05).In the patients with 4G/4G polymorphism of PAI1 gene,the GMP-140,vWF,FⅦa,D-D and PAI-1 levels in plasma were significantly increased at immediate postoperative period(P0.05).In the patients with 4G/5G and 5G/5G genotypes,all indexes mentioned above were significantly increased at immediate postoperative period(P0.05).In the patients with 4G/4G genotype,the PAI-1 level in plasma was significantly higher than those in the patients with 4G/5G and 5G/5G genotypes 24 h after PCI(P

BACKGROUND:The etiological factor for rheumatoid arthritis remains unclear, but the effects of nuclear factor-κB on the onset of rheumatoid arthritis have been gradual y paid great attention by rheumatologists.
OBJECTIVE:By using the RNA interference (RNAi) technique to block the signal pathway of nuclear factor-κB
mRNA of human rheumatoid arthritis synovial cells, this study explored its application prospect in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
METHODS:The synovial cells were isolated, digested, and cultured for further use. In accordance with the
design principle of smal interfering RNA (siRNA), target sequences of siRNA of nuclear factor-κB were identified, and siRNA expression vector of nuclear factor-κB was synthesized and constructed. The four pGenesil-1/nuclear factor-κB siRNA expression vectors were transfected into the first passage of synovial cells that wel grew. Blank and negative control groups were set. cells at 12, 24, 48, 72 hours, 5 and 7 days after transfection were col ected, and RNA was extracted. Intracellular nuclear factor-κB mRNA expression levels were measured, and siRNA plasmid vector that could effectively inhibit nuclear factor-κB mRNA expression was screened out.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Nuclear factor-κB highly expressed in synovial cells after human rheumatoid arthritis. 3#pGenesil-1/nuclear factor-κB apparently suppressed nuclear factor-κB mRNA expression in synovial cells with human rheumatoid arthritis. RNAi technique blocked nuclear factor-κB mRNA expression. Therefore, the block of nuclear factor-κB signal pathway might be a good target for rheumatoid arthritis gene therapy.

Objective To evaluate the orthodontic effect of surgery on mixed dentition period class Ⅲ malocclusion and to investigate the effective therapeutic method of the skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion.Methods A total of 20 patients aged 8.5 to 9.1 years with early mixed dentition class Ⅲ skeletal malocclusion.The treatment was divided into two phases.During the first phase,the entire stuffy group was treated with a bonded maxillary expansion and protraction.During the second phase,the entire study group received multiple loop edgewise arch wire (MEAW) treatment until an ideal occlusion relationship achieved.Comparison of the pre-and post-orthodontic treatment cephalometric radiographs had been done after maxillary protraction and MEAW were applied for patients.Results In the 20 patients after orthodontic treatment,Class Ⅲ skeletal facial profile was improved,the retraction of anterior teeth was obvious,and there were significant changes in dentition; the profile of soft tissue and satisfactory occlusion relationship were significantly improved,as compared with the changes between pre-treatment and post-treatment.Conclusions Skeletal Ⅲ malocclusion in early mixed dentition can be successfully treated.The results can be satisfied with improved class Ⅲ skeletal and molar relationship,high-angle and profile of soft tissue.

BACKGROUND:Cytological studies show that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s play an important role in postmenopausal osteoporosis mechanism.
OBJECTIVE:To study the osteogenic differentiation in vitro of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s from ovariectomied osteoporotic rats.
METHODS:The osteoporotic animal model was established by performing ovariectomy in the 6-month-old female Sprague-Dawley rats. There were four groups:bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s control group, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s osteoporosis group, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s osteogenic induction group and oseogenesis induction group. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were isolated from the rats of control group and oseogenesis induction group by means of the whole bone marrow adherence method and cultured to the 3rd generation. Then the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were used in al the experiments. Cel morphology was observed under the inverted phase contrast microscope, cel cycle and proliferation index of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were detected by flow cytometry. After osteogenic induction, the expression level of alkaline phosphatase was detected, and the fornation of calcium nodes of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were marked by alizarin red staining.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The cel s in the osteogenic induction group and oseogenesis induction group had the morphology of osteobalsts, and the change of morphology of the cel s in the oseogenesis induction group was relatively tardiness. The proliferation index in the control group was higher than that in the osteoporosis group (P<0.05);expression level of alkaline phosphatase in the osteogenic induction group was significantly higher than that in the oseogenesis induction group (P<0. 05), and the control group was significantly higher than the oseogenesis group (P<0.05). The alizarin red staining of the cel s in the osteogenic induction group was positive, while negative in the control group and the oseogenesis group;the staining in the osteogenic induction group was stronger than that in the oseogenesis induction group. These findings indicate that both the proliferative potential and the osteogenic potential of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s from the ovariectomized osteoporotic rats are decreased, which may be related with the ostoeporosis pathogensis of ovariectomied rats.

Objective To study the therapeutic mechanism of Polygonum cuspidatum extract on the gouty arthritis induced by monosodium urate (MSU). Method Acute gouty arthritis rats model was induced by MSU. Twelve hours after modeling,the positive expression area and integral optical density of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and nuclear factor-?B p65 protein (NF-?Bp65) in synovial membrane were observed by immunohistochemical assay. The effect of Polygonum cuspidatum extract on ICAM-1 and NF-?Bp65 was observed. Results There existed less expression of ICAM-1 and NF-?B p65 protein on synovial membrane in the normal group,and their expression was much increased in the model group. Polygonum cuspidatum extract in the dose of 360 mg/kg significantly reduced the positive expression area and integral optical density of ICAM-1 and NF-?Bp65 protein. Conclusion Polygonum cuspidatum extract can inhibit the abnormal expression and activation of ICAM-1 and NF-?Bp65 in synovial tissue,which may be an important therapeutic and preventive mechanism for gouty arthritis.
