BACKGROUND:White spot lesions caused by enamel demineralization are a common side effect of orthodontic treatment. Resin infiltration treatment for white spot lesions has obtained favorable effects, but there is no report on the difference between resin infiltration and fluoride varnish treatment for post-orthodontic white spot lesions. OBJECTIVE:To compare the efficiency of resin infiltration and fluride varnish for treatment of post-orthodontic white spot lesions. METHODS:Twenty-nine patients with post-orthodontic white spot lesions were randomly divided into two groups:one group accepted the resin infiltration treatment and the other group accepted fluoride varnish treatment. Frontal intraoral photos before treatment and 6 months after treatment were col ected for study. The difference in efficiency of resin infiltration and fluride varnish for treatment of post-orthodontic white spot lesion was analyzed and evaluated by both dentists and College students who were not engaged in oral medicine. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Except one patient treated with fluride varnish, al the patients completed the referral on schedule. There was significant improvement in the two groups after treatment (P<0.05). Resin infiltration treatment was better than fluoride varnish treatment in post-orthodontic white spot lesions. Thus, resin infiltration that requires fewer referrals and has better effects is an ideal therapy for post-orthodontic white spot lesions.

Objective To investigate the incidence of adverse drug reaction (ADR)in patients in a hospital,and evaluate ADR-related factors,so as to provide references for the prevention of ADR and reducing of risk factors in drug use. Methods 223 clinically reported ADR cases were collected from January 1,2011 to December 31,2011, patients'age,types and administration routes of drugs relating to ADR,and ADR-involved organs and systems were analyzed.Results Of 223 patients with ADR,211(94.62% )received intravenous drip,3 received intravenous injec-tion,2 received intramuscular inj ection,and 7 received oral administration. ADR mainly occurred within 1-30 mi-nutes after taking the medicines,39(17.49% )occurred within 1-4 minutes,45(20.18% )within 5-9 minutes,80 (35.87% )within 15-29 minutes. Of organ or system involved by ADR,skin and its appendage damages were com-mon (93 cases),followed by gastrointestinal tract (62 cases)and systemic damage (45 cases);single organ and sys-temic damage were most common (184 cases,82.51% ). 123 cases (55.16% )of ADR were caused by antimicrobial use,60 cases (26.91% )were induced by Chinese medicine injection;Of top 10 ADR-inducing medicines,7 were an-timicrobial agents and 3 were traditional Chinese medicine injections,levofloxacin lactate and sodium chloride injec-tion ranked first(23 cases,10.31% ).Conclusion The occurrence of ADR is related to multiple factors,reporting and surveillance of ADR should be strengthened,the use of antimicrobial agents and traditional Chinese medicine should be rational,thereby reduce the occurrence of ADR.

Objective To study the effect of volatile chemicals in the air of newly decorated rooms on O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) expression in the lung, liver, kidney and testicle tissues of mice. Methods Forty Kunming mice were randomly divided into four groups and the imitate pollutants mixture of volatile chemicals in the air of newly decorated rooms was used as the exposed toxicants: low-dose exposure group (7.5 mg/m3), moderate-dose exposure group (15 mg/m3), high-dose exposure group (30 mg/m3), the control group (no exposure ). The mice were exposed 4 hours each day, for nine weeks. Streptavidin and biotechnology-peroxidase (SABC) immunohistochemical method was used to determine the MGMT expression in the lung, liver, testicle and kidney tissues. Results The expression of MGMT in the liver, lung, testicle tissues in the high, moderate and low-dose groups reduced significantly compared with the control group (P0.05). Conclusion The higher exposure of volatile chemicals from the air of newly decorated rooms may inhibit the MGMT expression in the liver, lung and testicle tissues of mice.

BACKGROUND: As the end product of lipid peroxidation, malondialdehyde (MDA) content can be used for assessment lipid peroxidation injury.Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) acts as a free radical scavenger. Currently the effect of static magnetic field on the organism, whether positive or negative, has not been elucidated.OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of static magnetic field on anti-oxidation capacity of mouse hepatic tissues and its intensity dependence for producing such effects.DESIGN: A controlled comparative experiment.SETTING: Laboratories of Medical Physics and Biochemistry of Jiangsu University.MATERIALS: The experiment was conducted in the Laboratories of Medical Physics and Biochemistry of Jiangsu University from January to December 2003. Totally 30 mice of either sex weighing 18-20 g were selected and subjected to magnetic filed exposure using a self-designed ferrite magnet apparatus.METHODS: The mice were equally randomized into normal control group and 4 exposure groups exposed to magnetic field of (24.6±4.2) mT,(42.0±2.1) mT, (63.5±3.0) mT, and (85.1±2.9) mT, respectively. The mice in the 4 exposure groups were exposed to static magnetic field of the specified intensity for 2 hours twice a day, while those in the normal control group were subjected to the sham exposure apparatus without magnetic field at scheduled time points every day. After 15 days of exposure, the mice were sacrificed and the GSH-Px activity and the MDA content in the hepatic tissue were assayed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: GSH-Px activity and MDA content in hepatic tissue of the mice.RESULTS: Thirty mice entered the final analysis without losses. MDA content in (24.6±4.2) mT and (42.0±2.1) mT groups were obviously lower than that in the normal control group [(12.70±0.53), (12.96±0.72), and (17.62±0.91) μmol/g, respectively, F=10.4, 9.89, P ＜ 0.01]. The GSH-Px activity in the hepatic tissue in (24.6±4.2) mT and (42.0±2.1) mT groups were obviously higher than that in the normal control group [(143.36±8.34),(150.69±12.00), (87.51±11.34) μkat/g, respectively, F=10.0, 11.3, P ＜ 0.01].CONCLUSION: Static magnetic field of appropriate intensity can lower MDA content and enhance the GSH-Px activity in the hepatic tissue of mice, and may also improve the activity of antioxidase and reduce the production of lipid peroxidation to diminish the consequent injuries and delay the aging process.

Objective To explore the mechanism action of Shoutai Pill in the embryo from the molecular level. Methods The model of normal pregnancy was established with the model of recurrent abortion CBA/J ×DBA/2. The recurrent abortion model CBA/J×DBA/2 in pregnant mice were randomly divided into model group, high-, medium-, low-dose group of Shoutai Pill. From the first day of gestation, mice were given medicine by gavage for 14 d, and then sacrificed. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect differences in protein HSP27,α-enolase, transferrin, annexin A2 protein expression. Results Compared with normal group, decidual HSP27 and α-enolase expression of model group increased significantly, the expression of transferrin and annexin A2 was significantly decreased, with significant differences (P<0.01). Compared with model group, decidual HSP27 andα-enolase expression of Shoutai Pill high and low dose group decreased, annexin A2 expression was increased. Compared with model group, expression of decidual transferrin of Shoutai Pill high dose group increased, with significant differences (P<0.01), decidual transferrin expression of Shoutai Pill medium and low dose group had no significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusion Through the protein expression, Shoutai Pill achieves the maintenance of pregnancy, reducing the rate of embryo resorption, which may be one of the mechanisms of Shoutai Pill preventing miscarriage effect.
