BACKGROUND: The initial stability of implantable distractor depends on the stress distribution of bone-distractor interface. The understanding of the biomechanical change in initial stage can improve the clinical success ratio of implantable distractor used in alveolar crest.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of bone quality on stress distribution and deformation in initial distraction stage.METHODS: Four three-dimensional models with 10 079-11 456 cells and 17 299-20 101 nodes were prepared by finite element methods (11 mm in length and 3.7-4.1 mm diameter). Implantable distractor was embedded in a segment of mandible. The elastic modulus of cancellous bone and the thickness of cortical bone, stress and deformation of bones and distractor were calculated.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The highest stress in the bone was concentrated in transportable section and the maximum deformation of transportable section was observed at the edge of the cortical bone, both of which were increased with bone quality decreased. The subsidence of distractor was observed with bone quality decreased. Bone quality influenced the initial stability and the result of the implantal distraction. The decrease of bone elastic modulus would increase the failure risk of distraction osteogenisis.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the long-term results of short implants and assess its clinical importance.
METHODSA total of 77 short implants were consecutively placed in 43 patients from August 1998 to August 2004. The clinical data was reviewed and the crown-implant ratio (C/I) was measured. Twenty-nine short implants in 15 patients were loaded for more than 5 years and the marginal bone height around implant measured. The implant success and survival ratio were evaluzted according to Zarb's successful criteria and Wheeler's survival criteria.
RESULTSThe mean follow-up time was 5.4 years (36 ∼ 99 months). Among these 77 short implants, 74 implants were fixed restoration, which mean C/I was (1.08 ± 0.21), 3 implants were removable restoration. Of 29 short implants which were loaded for more than 5 years, the mesial bone height at the times immediately after inserting implant, before second stage surgery, loading for less than 3 years and loading for more than 5 years was (0.59 ± 0.66), (0.64 ± 0.59), (-0.05 ± 1.11), (-0.37 ± 1.29) mm; and the distal bone height was (0.62 ± 0.77), (0.60 ± 0.86), (-0.26 ± 1.12), (-0.23 ± 1.59) mm. The 5 year's survival rate and success rate were 97% and 93% respectively.
CONCLUSIONSThe success and survival rate of short dental implant under function were comparable to those reported for normal implants. By using the short implant, the patients can avoid the graft operation, alleviate sufferings, shorten the treatment period and reduce the cost. Therefore, it has a high value in clinical application.

Objective: To observe the effects of acupuncture plus spinal manipulations on the physical functioning and levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods: A total of 128 AS cases were allocated into a control group and an observation group using random number table method, with 64 cases in each group. Patients in both groups took sulfasalazine and meloxicam. Patients in the observation group received additional acupuncture plus spinal manipulations. The efficacy, Bath AS functional index (BASFI), Bath AS disease activity index (BASDAI), and the levels of ALP, ESR, CRP and OPG were compared between the two groups after eight weeks of treatment. Results: After treatment, the symptom scores of traditional Chinese medicine in both groups were decreased (all P<0.05), and these scores in the observation group were significantly lower than in the control group (all P<0.05); the VAS, BASFI and BASDAI scores in both groups were decreased (all P<0.05), and these scores in the observation group were significantly lower than in the control group (all P<0.05); and the ALP, ESR, CRP and OPG levels in both groups were decreased (all P<0.05), and these levels in the observation group were significantly lower than in the control group (all P<0.05). The total efficacy rate was 92.2% in the observation group, versus 78.1% in the control group, presenting a statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion: Conventional medication combined with acupuncture and spinal manipulations can improve clinical symptoms, accelerate the recovery of physical functioning, and reduce the ALP, ESR, CRP and OPG levels.

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinicopathologic features, treatment and prognosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) complicated with synchronous other alimentary malignant tumors.
METHODSClinical data of 525 patients with GIST undergoing surgical treatment from August 2004 to November 2012 in Shanghai Renji Hospital were reviewed retrospectively, among whom 46 patients presented synchronous other alimentary malignancy.
RESULTSGIST and other alimentary malignancy coexisting cases were less likely to be screened out preoperatively (2.2%, 1/46) and associated with elder age (P=0.001), more likely arise from stomach (P=0.000), smaller tumor maximum diameter (P=0.000), and lower mitotic count (P=0.000). According to NIH postoperative risk classification, there were 36 at very low risk, 9 at low risk, and 1 at high risk. Although the risk of GIST recurrence was lower for GIST and other alimentary malignancy coexisting cases, their 5-year survival rate was lower than that of patients with GIST alone (36.1%VS. 82.2%, P=0.000).
CONCLUSIONSGIST patients complicated with synchronous alimentary malignant tumor are usually low or very low risk and has minimal impact on the prognosis. Survival depends primarily on the synchronous alimentary malignant tumors. Therefore, it is reasonable to lay emphasis on the treatment of the alimentary malignant tumor, and perform synchronous resection of GIST if possible.
