China Medical Equipment 2014;(5):71-72,73
Through the analysis on principles of dental panoramic radiography, we analyzed the influence factors of the dental arch, and provided the main principles for optimizing design to improve the image quality. Through the analysis on the human dental arch’s form, we optimized the radiographic procedure. Many factors affect the quality panoramic image, but the focal trough’s design is one of the most important factors, especially for canine regions. Optimizing design of focal trough can lessen degrees of horizontal and vertical magnification, also can reduce geometric distortion and overlapped images of teeth.

A new analytical method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of CrⅢand CrⅥusing on-line sample pretreatment valve-switching ion chromatography. The organic matrix in leather was removed by using a reverse-phase column as the pretreatment column. Before injection, EDTA was added into sample solution to react with the CrⅢto form anion which could absorb visible light strongly. After injection, the ions separated by the pretreatment column were received in a collection loop. Then the ions were delivered into an analytical column and separated. CrⅥ then was derived with the derivatization reagent 1, 5-diphenylcarbazide ( DPC) , and detected together with CrⅢ-EDTA complex by a UV-Vis detector. Under the optimum conditions, the linear range of the method for CrⅢ and CrⅥ was 0. 3-10 mg/L (r=0. 9991) and 0. 05-2 mg/L ( r = 0. 9992 ), whereas detection limits ( S/N = 3 ) were 80. 78 μg/L and 6. 67 μg/L, respectively. The recoveries were in the range of 88. 7%-108. 5% with the relative standard deviations for retention time and peak area less than 3%. The method could be applied to determine CrⅢ and CrⅥ in leather and cloth effectively and quickly.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis receiving nucleoside/nucleotide analogues (NAs) antiviral therapy.Methods:The clinical data of 253 patients receiving NAs antiviral therapy in Zhejiang Provincial People’s Hospital from November 2014 to October 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. During treatment, HCC occurred in 116 patients. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of progression to HCC in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis.Results:Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age( OR=1.094, 95% CI 1.034-1.158, P<0.01), smoking history( OR=5.056, 95% CI 1.453-17.594, P<0.05), family history of hepatocellular carcinoma( OR=6.763, 95% CI 1.253-36.499, P<0.05), Lamivudin (LAM) resistance( OR=6.097, 95% CI 1.370-27.134, P<0.05), fasting blood glucose(FBG)level( OR=7.219, 95% CI 3.716-14.024, P<0.01) were independent risk factors for the progression of hepatitis B cirrhosis to HCC; while HBV DNA negative conversion( OR=0.028, 95% CI 0.006-0.137, P<0.01) was a protective factor. Conclusions:For hepatitis B cirrhosis patients receiving antiviral therapy, drug resistance, HBV DNA, FBG levels should be closely monitored, intervention measures such as quitting smoking should be taken and NAs with high drug resistance gene barrier should be selected to prevent the occurrence of HCC.

AIM: To investigate the effect of CDAG208A gene polymorphism on the efficacy and safety of gemcitabine in the first-line treatment of lung squamous cell carcinoma. METHODS: Sixty-five first-line treated patients with locally advanced or metastatic lung squamous cell carcinoma in The First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College hospital were screened. Group A included 31 patients tested with the GG (wild homozygous) CDAG208A gene, and group B included 34 patients without testing. All patients received gemcitabine plus platinum chemotherapy for at least 2 cycles. The efficacy and safety were evaluated following the RECIST 1.1 standard and the NCI-CTC 5.0 standard, respectively. The primary study endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and the secondary study endpoints included objective effective rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), adverse reactions, and influencing factors of PFS. RESULTS: The results showed that the DCR was 74.5% and 50% in group A and group B, respectively (P=0.045); mPFS was 6.1 months and 5.0 months in group A and group B, respectively (P=0.034); and the mOS was 13.3 months and 12.0 months in group A and group B, respectively, and there was no statistical difference (P=0.388). The number of cases of grade III-IV neutropenia in group A and group B was 2 and 10, respectively (P=0.017); grade III-IV neutropenia was an independent prognostic factor affecting patients with PFS (P=0.045); the group with unknown G208A gene status was more likely to develop grade III-IV neutrophils (P= 0.029). The AUC of CDA-G208A gene predicting neutropenia caused by gemcitabine chemotherapy was 0.756. CONCLUSION: Non-GG type of CDAG208A gene can reduce the metabolic rate of gemcitabine in the body and cause neutropenia after chemotherapy. In severe cases, it can indirectly reduce the clinical efficacy of gemcitabine. The detection of CDA-G208A gene status before treatment can predict the neutropenia caused by gemcitabine chemotherapy.
