Evidence-based medicine (EBM) has rapidly developed in recent years and is currently a hotspot in international medicine. The guiding principle behind EBM is that any medical decision should be determined based on objective clinical and scientific evidence, doctor's professional skills and experience, and patient's needs and desires. This paper introduces the concept and practice of EBM and explains how it can be used to solve the issues in stomatology.

Objective To investigate whether polymorphisms of apolipopretein D gene (APOD) have an effect on the risk for sporadic Alzheimer's disease (SAD).Methods Combination of polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and DNA sequencing technique to screen all exons (1-5),along with flanking exon-intron boundaries of the ApoD gene.We investigated the polymorphisms of ApoD in 256 SAD patients and 294 healthy controls from North China by PCR-RFLP technique.Association of every polymorphism with AD was analyzed in this case-control study.Results Two ApoD (rs5952 and rs1568566) polymorphisms were detected and there were significant differences in the genotype or allele frequencies for the 2 ApoD polymorphisms respectively between cases and controls.Logistic analysis showed that rs5952C or rs1568566T allele carrier increased the risk for SAD (rs5952 adjusted OR=1.817,95% CI 1.237--2.669,χ2=9.282,P=0.002 ; rs1568566 adjusted OR=1.563,95% CI 1.060-2.306,χ2=5.072,P=0.024).The APOD polymorphisms showed gender specific associations.The linkage disequilibrium of the 2 single nucleotide polymorphism loci was found between rs5952 and rs1568566 of ApoD.Conclusion Polymorphisms of rs5952 and rs1568566 in APOD might play an important role in modifying risk for SAD.

Objective To investigate the effects of ventilation strategy of permissive hypercapnia on the expression of inflammatory mediators in the patients received laparoscopic radical gastrectomy. Methods Thirty-six patients received laparoscopic radical gastrectomy were randomly divided into two groups: control group and experiment group. The patients in control group received conventional ventilation strategy [partial pressure of carbon dioxide in endexpiratory gas (P<,ErCO2) 34.5-45.0 mm Hg (1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa),pH7.35-7.45], and patients in experiment group received ventilation strategy of permissive hypercapnia(PErCO2 49.5-60.0 mm Hg,pH7.20). Blood samples were collected respectively from the peripheral vein before anesthesia induction (T0), 1 h (T1), 3 h (T2) after operation and when operation finished (T3) for the assessment of interleukin(IL)-8, IL-6,tumor necrosis factor (TNF)- α. Results The levels of IL-8, IL-6, TNF-α at T2, T3 were higher in control group [(96.732±3.173) μg/L and (107.767±3.654) μg/L, (0.273±0.009 ) ng/L and (0.287±0.008) ng/L,(1.443±0.086)μg/L and (1.614±0.107) μg/L] than those in experiment group [(91.771±4.332) μ g/L and (97.682±4.998) μg/L, (0.231±0.008 ) ng/L and (0.241±0.006) ng/L,(1.268±0.066) μg/Land (1.428±0.058) μg/L](P<0.05 or <0.01), mean arterial pressure, partial pressure of oxygen in artery and heart rate were relative stabilization. Conclusions Ventilation strategy of permissive hypercapnia can reduce the released amount of inflammatory mediators and may be advantageous for the patients received laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.
