ve To explore and improve the procedures of operation and experimental conditions of deter-mination of iodide in drinking water by catalytic reducing spectrophotometry. Methods The improved assay was carried out at room temperature instead of constant temperature water bath. The standard solution series [1~10?g/L or 10-100?g/L iodine(I-) ] were selected based on the contents of iodide in water samples estimated by "three-tube method" . The duration of catalytic reducing reaction was defined based on the decolorant intensity of Ce4+ observed by visual method. The linear regression equation of Ig E0/Ef ; (Eo: blank absorbance; Ei : standard absorbance) was used to replace the nonlinear standard curve of absorbance. Results The contents of iodide in blind water sample of analytical quality control determined by this method highly accorded with its ture value [(4.00?0.20)mg/L]provided by institution of analytical quality control. The linear regression equation of standard solution series was calculated by lg E0/Ei as y = 0.062x + 0.018(r = 0.999) . Conclusion The improved assay simplifying analytical instruments and operations was suitable for determination of iodide in drinking water in common laboratories.

OBJECTIVEThe effect of sandblasting on the bond strength between 3mol% yttrium-stabilized tetragonal zirconium polycrystal (3Y-TZP) zirconia framework and veneering porcelain was evaluated.

METHODSA total of 21 specimens [(25 ± 1) mm x (3 ± 0.1) mmx (0.5 ± 0.05) mm] were prepared according to ISO 9693. The specimens were then randomly divided into 3 groups. Sandblasting was performed on 2 meshes of Al₂O₃ particles: group A with mesh 110 and group B with mesh 80. Group C, which was not sandblasted, was the control group. The surface roughness of the zirconia framework, as well as the bond strength between 3Y-TZP zirconia framework and veneering porcelain, was measured. The interface microstructure was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), and elemental distribution was detected by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).

RESULTSSurface roughness values were (1.272 ± 0.149) μm for group A, (0.622 ± 0.113) μm for group B, and (0.221 ± 0.065) μm for group C. Statistical significance were found among groups (P < 0.05). The bond strength values were (28.21 ± 1.52) MPa for group A, (27.71 ± 1.27) MPa for group B, and (24.87 ± 3.84) MPa for group C. Statistical significance was found between group A and group C (P < 0.05), whereas the other groups had no statistical significance (P > 0.05). Interface adhesion failure was the primary performance. SEM images showed the close interface bonding, and EDS showed that the interface had no obvious element penetration.

CONCLUSIONAl₂O₃ sandblasting can slightly enhance the bond strength between zirconia framework and veneering porcelain.

Objective To observe the expression of Glu、mGluR 5 and EAAT 1 in bone tissues of ovariectomized osteoporotic rats and the effects of Total Flavonoids of Rhizoma Drynariae (TFRD) on it. Methods 45 SPF 3-month-old Sprague-Dawley (SD) female rats were randomly divided into sham operation (Sham, n=15) group and ovariectomized (OVX, n=30) group. The osteoporotic(OP) model was established by bilateral ovariectomy, 14 weeks later, we measured bone mineral density(BMD) by dual-energy X-ray and determined that OP model was successfully replicated, OVX group rats were then divided into OVX group (n=15) and OVX+TFRD group (n=15). The OVX+TFRD group was given TFRD for 12 weeks. Glutamate (Glu), metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR 5), and Glutamate/Aspartate Transporter (GLAST/EAAT 1)’s expression of femur was examined in order to clarify the characteristics of bone glutamate signaling pathway and the effects of TFRD on it. Results Glu and ionotropic receptors mGluR 5 mainly distributed in bone marrow cells and osteoblasts closed to the bone marrow cavity walls. There were no significant differences in Glu expression among Sham group, OVX group and OVX+TFRD group. The mGluR 5 expression of OVX+TFRD group was significantly higher than that of Sham group and OVX group(P=0.009), while no significant difference was found between the latter two groups. In addition to large distribution in bone marrow cells, small amount of transporter EAAT 1 was noted to express in bone cells of the bone lacunae. There were no significant differences in EAAT 1 expression among the three groups. Conclusion In bone glutamate signaling pathway, this study demonstrated that TFRD could significantly improve the ionotropic receptor mGluR 5’s expression, but had no inlfuence for Glu and EAAT 1.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy, especially the comprehensive improvement of blood glucose and lipid of probucol and metformin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus with hyperlipidemia. Methods:Totally 105 patients with type 2 di-abetes mellitus complicated with hyperlipidemia were randomly divided into the control group1 (35 cases), the control group 2 (34 ca-ses) and the observation group (36 cases). The control group 1 was treated with diet control, exercise and metformin, the control group 2 was treated with rosuvastatin calclum tablets based on the group 1, and the observation group was treated with probucol based on the group 1.
