Objective To investigate the effects of titanium nitride(TiN) coating on corrosion resistance of dental Co-Cr alloy in the simulated oral environment. Methods The Co-Cr alloy commonly used was casted with specimen sized of 10 mm× 10 mm×3 mm. Then the specimen was coated with a thickness of 2.5 μm TiN coating on the surface by multi-arc physical vapor deposition. The Tafel polarization curves of the specimen before and after coating titanium nitride in artificial saliva were measured by electrochemical station. Results From the Tafel polarization curves, the specimen after coating TiN showed that both anodic polarization curve and cathodal polarization curve were fiat, natural corrosion potential moved to the positive way, and passivation interval got longer. From the annular anodic polarization curves, the specimen after coating TiN had almost no "delay area". Conclusion TiN coating can improve corrosion resistance of Co-Cr alloy.

Objective To detect the differential expression profile of microRNAs between patients with or without gall?bladder stone. Methods Samples from 30 patients with gallbladder stones (GS) and 30 without gallbladder stones (GP) were collected, in which microRNAs expression profiles were examined using high-throughput sequencing instrument Illumi?na HiSeq 2500. MicroRNA sequences were obtained and compared to Genebank and Rfam database for classification. Differ?entially expressed microRNAs were screened, and their target genes were predicted. Significant enrichment analysis of GO and KEGG were performed. Real-time quantitative PCR was performed on selected miRNAs in order to validate their expres?sion. Results Clean tags were obtained from both GS group (n=2 215 832) and GP group (n=1 424 770). A total of 17 mi?croRNAs were differentially expressed between GS and GP groups with statistical significance, among which 9 were up-regu?lated and 8 were down-regulated in GS group compared to those in GP group. GO (Gene ocology) analysis showed that target genes were enriched in ion binding and transport, apolipoprotein binding, calcium channel activity, protein kinase activity, steroid hormone biosynthesis and metabolism. KEGG(Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes)analysis is shown for the target genes enriched in cancer related pathways, including WNT, HIPPO pathways. qRT-PCR validation of some differen?tially expressed miRNAs confirmed the result of high-throughput data analysis. Conclusion The differential expression levels of microRNAs may play an important role in occurrence and development of gallbladder stones.

Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome MODS (MODS) is the one of the major factors,which causing the death of the severe patients.More and more research proved that there are some relatonship be-tween MODS with the cellular apoptosis and necrosis.In recent years mesenchymal stem cells has been ap-plied to a variety of diseases as seed cells in the field of rehabilitation,and shows the initial effect in treat-ment and research.Through analysis the distribution and division of mesenehymal stem cells in the body,we found it may play an important role in the treatment in the MODS.We reviewed the mechanism of the MSC dealing with the MODS.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of bilevel positive airway pressure mechanical ventilation (BiPAP) in the patients of acute organophosphorus pesticides poisoning (AOPP) with respiratory failure. Methods 44 AOPP patients with respiratort failure were randomly divided into experimental group (n = 22) and control group (n = 22). The routine trentment was given to both groups, additional BiPAP assisted ventilation was given to the treatment group. Blood gas,heart rate and respiratory rate were detected before and 2 h,24 h,48 h after treatment, and the rote of intubatinn,mortality,duration and cost of hospitalization were compared between two groups. Results Heart rate,PaO2 was significantly increased and PaCO2 decreased in BiPAP ventilation (P <0. 05). The mortality,intubatien rate and cost of hospitalization were significantly decreased in BiPAP treatment group (P < 0. 05). Conclusion The BiPAP ventilation is certainly effective to acute organophosphorus pesticides poisoning with respiratory failure. It could obviously improve the clinical symptoms and arterial blood gas analysis, and could reduce the mortaiity, rate of intubotion,cost of hospitalization of patients of acute organophosphoms pesticides poisoning with respiratory failure.

Cancer stem cells are a new field with the gradual deep understanding of the stem cell research. Although its history is not long, the rapid development showed a good potential prospect. The existence of cancer stem cells and its use as tumor formation, growth and metastasis-based approach has been widely recognized. In theory, cancer stem cells derived from normal stem cells can transform. Cancer-causing factors can also be derived-from the dedifferentiation induced cells. Because it contains all-round, multi-and single stem cell, with the proliferation and differentiation potential of different directions, it is possible to explain the heterogeneity of tumor cells, and reasons for hypoxic environment, anti-cancer drugs and radiation resilience. In this area, it has been made a lot of progress in recent years. However, there are still some problems to be solved. Such as the identification of cancer stem cells, biological function and mechanism.

There should be confusion about diagnosis and treatment for multiple segments cervical myelopathy in some respects. The author reviewed the literature and combined with clinical experience, proposed a new classification for cervical myelopathy according to responsibility segment areas, which dividing into single segment,double segments (continues or jumping type), multi-segment (≥ three segments). The responsible segments determination is the premise of diagnosis and also a key to determine surgical decompression segment. Decompression only according to imaging was not desirable, surgical segment should mainly relies on clinical, imaging, electrophysiological and comprehensive analysis to avoid surgery range expansion. Surgical approach and procedures are still the focus and hotspot of cervical myelopathy treatment, and no treatment standards and corresponding guidelines to consult. The author proposes that surgical approach should advocate the individual, and surgical procedure should follow simple instead of complicate, anterior and posterior combined decompression is not necessary in most cases, and anterior and posterior fixation are not need.
