BACKGROUND:Compared with the conventional composite resin, the 3M Z350 nano-resin has good wear
resistance, physical mechanical properties, and polishing, and exerts a lower irritation to the dental pulp. Besides fil ing materials, a reliable tooth-prosthesis bonding interface is necessary for resin bonded repairs.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the clinical effects of self-etch bonding Adper Easy One and total-etch bonding Single Bond 2 on nano-resin bonding restoration of the anterior teeth.
METHODS:120 anterior teeth with vital pulp, which had defects at the incisal ends and were to be restored with nano resins, were divided into two groups randomly. Two kinds of adhesives, self-etch adhesive and total-etch adhesive, combined with nano-resin were used to restore the teeth. The patients were re-examined immediately, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after the treatment. The fil ings, teeth and pulps of patients were examined,
including whether the prosthesis and tooth color were coordinated, whether the gap between the prosthesis and the teeth were sealed, whether the surface of the prosthesis was intact with no loose, whether the prosthesis and teeth had no staining and secondary caries, whether the condition of the tooth pulp had hot or cold
stimulation-induced pain.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:No significant difference in the fil ing effects was found between the two groups when the patients were re-examined immediately, 6 months and 1 year after the treatment (P>0.05). The pulp
lesions of the self-etching group were fewer than those of the total-etch group 2 years after the treatment (P<0.05). Self-etching group had 1, 6, 0, 2 cases and total-etch group had 0, 2, 1, 2 cases in uncoordinated color, edge seal,
incomplete restoration and secondary caries, respectively. No statistical y significant differences were found in these four aspects between the two groups (P>0.05). The 2-year fol ow up showed a low incidence of pulp lesions and satisfactory clinical performance after 3M Z350 nano-resin working with self-etching bonding system in the nano-resin fil ing of
anterior teeth with vital pulp.

Objective To investigate the value of CysC-based CFR in comparison with creatinine-based GFR (CG-GFR and MDRD-GFR) as an accurate serum marker in the prediction of early diabetic nephropathy. Methods A tatal of 133 type 2 diabetic patients (74 males and 59 females, aged 58.1 ±12.3) were enrolled. The level of diabetic nephropathy (normoalbuminuric, microalbuminuric and macroalbuminuric) was staged and estimated GFR based on serum creatinine and cystatin C(CysC) was calculated. The plasma clearance of Tc-DTPA, serum CysC, creatinine, BMI, HbA1c, serum lipid and blood pressure were measured. Results 99mTc-DTPA-GFR was used as golden standard. At 90 and 75 ml· min-1· (1.73 m2)-1 cut-points, diagnostic efficiencies of CysC-GFR (89% and 92%) were better than those of CG-GFR (79%=86%, P=0.004, 0.04) and MDRD-GFR (80%-86%, P=0.02, 0.04). At 60 ml · min-1 · (1.73 m2)-1 cut-point, diagnostic efficiencies of CysC-GFR,CG-GFR and MDRD-GFR were 92%, 90% and 92% respectively (P= 0.49, P=0.71). The Logistic regression analyses showed that retinopathy, HbA1c, CysC, diabetic duration, and CysC-GFR were indicators to predict the development of microalbuminuria. Conclusion CysC-GFR is more valuable than CG-GFR and MDRD-GFR in the prediction of early diabetic nephropathy and should be applied clinically.
