Objective To establish a mathematical model to describe the skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion of patient dental and basal bone arch form, for providing a data reference and basis for further study. Methods Thirty-five patients with skeletal classⅢmalocclusion were selected in this study for computed tomography CBCT. The data of 3-D image were analyzed, and dental arch marker (Fa) and base bone arch marker (Ba) were determined. The reference plane was determined by least square method. Software Matlab 7.0 was used to calculate two-dimensional coordinate system. Based on this, a mathematical model was established to describe the dental and basal bone arch form and then to validate the mathematical model. Results (1) The mathematical model can be used to describe the dental arch form of skeletal classⅢmalocclusion, maxillary:Y=46.12 [1-(2X/70.99)2]1.052;mandibular:Y=39.16 [1-(2X/64.51)2]1.038. (2) The mathematical model can be used to describe the basal bone arch form of skeletal classⅢmalocclusion, maxillary:Y=43.14 [1-(2X/75.09)2]1.061;mandibular:Y=39.03 [1-(2X/60.63)2]1.021. (3) Fa was located at Ba labial side in the maxilla, the distance was positive. Fa was located at Ba lingual side in the mandibular, and the distance was negative. (4) The fitting correlation coefficient of beta-function curve and each tooth on the dental and basal bone arch of skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion were greater than 0.7 (P<0.05). Conclusion In this study, the mathematical model can be used to describe the dental and basal bone arch form of the skeletal classⅢmalocclusion, which can guide further research.

Objective To investigate the effect of Danzhijiangtang capsule on serum,fat in type 2 diabetic rats.Methods The model of type 2 diabetes mellitus rats were established by injecting small does streptozotocin(STZ)into abdomen and feeding high sucrose-fat diet.All the rats were divided randomly into five groups.The level of blood glucose,serum insulin,insulin sensitivity index,blood fat(triglyceride, cholesterol,high-density lipoprotein,low-density lipoprotein),free fatty acid after treated were examined. Results Danzhijiangtang capsule could decrease the level of blood fat.Conclusion Danzhijiangtang capsule could improve the blood fat in type 2 diabetic rats.

AIM: To study the expression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-?B) in the L 1-L 4 spinal ganglions of adjuvant arthritis (AA) rats, to explore the neuroendocrinoimmunological mechanism of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS: The expression of the NF-?B protein was detected by immunohistochemistry method and the alteration of the active NF-?B protein (nuclear protein) was investigated by Western blotting analysis. RESULTS: The expression of NF-?B protein in L 1-L 4 spinal ganglions of AA rats was much higher than that in the healthy controls ( P

Objective To study the molecular mechanism of the remission in children with acute lymphocyte leukemia(ALL),as well as the expression of thyroid hormone receptor interacting protein 3(TRIP3) gene in children with ALL and explore the relationship between TRIP3 and ALL.Methods Fasting venous blood 2-4 mL was collected,anticoagulanted with ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid(EDTA),then perpheral blood mononuclear cells was collected by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation,total RNA was extracted by Trizol one step method.Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) was used to detect TRIP3 expression in peripheral blood lymphocytes in 73 ALL children of different stages and 20 normal children.The relationship between TRIR3 expression in children and ALL release was analyzed.Results 1.Expression of TRIP3 was significantly lower both after initial treatment and during recrudescence than that in normal children(Pa0.05).3.In children with ALL after initial treatment,the remission rate was significantly higher in TRIP3 positive patients than in TRIP3 negative ones(remission rate discern 25.0% vs 84.2%,P

Objective To analyze diagnostic experience of children with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) and assess its surgical results.Methods Six children with ALCAPA had been diagnosed in our hospital from Mar. 2006 to Oct.2007 aged from 6 months to 10 years old(median 43.5 months).The medical data included common clinical presentations,the findings of electrocardiogram(ECG),the echocardiogram,ECG-gated 64-slice computed tomography,the digital subtraction angiogram (DSA),surgical records and the outcome.Results Diaphoresis,fantod,breathlessness and difficult feeding were commonly presented in 5 cases ALCAPA and the 5 children presented with left ventricular failure in infancy.The predominant ECG findings were Q waves and ST segment changes in the anterolateral chest leads in 4 cases,ST changes in 1 case,and normal ECG in 1 case.Cross-sectional echocardiography showed dilated left ventricles with poor contractility in 4 cases,medium mitral regurgitation in 2 cases and severe mitral regurgitation in 2 cases,aneurysmal dilatation of the right coronary artery(RCA) in 2 cases.CT and DSA examinations showed characteristic changes in these children.The surgical reestablishment of a two-coronary system was performed in 5 cases,direct reimplantation in 2 cases and creation of an autologous extrapulmonary tunnel in 3 cases.Simultaneous mitral annuloplasty was performed in 2 cases.After operation,the symptoms of 5 cases were all improved and none died.Conclusions Understanding the clinical manifestations and lab findings of ALCAPA is helpful to making an early diagnosis of ALCAPA.Early surgical treatment can improve the patients′ outcome.
