Objective:This study was based on digital orthodontic diagnosis work flow for indirect bonding transfer tray model design and three-dimensional (3D) printing, and the aim of this paper was to inspect the dimensional accuracyof 3D printed brackets, which is the foundation of the follow up work and hoped that will illuminate the clinical application of the digital orthodontics work flow.Methods: The samples which consisted of 14 cases of patients with malocclusion from Department of Orthodontics Peking University were selected, including 8 cases with tooth extraction and 6 cases without tooth extraction.All the 14 patients were taken intra-oral scan (Trios 3Shape,Denmark)and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT, NewTom 3G volumetric scanner, Aperio Service,Italy)shooting after periodontal treatment.STL data and DICOM data were obtained from intraoral scans and CBCT images.Data segmentation, registration, fusion, automatic tooth arrangement, virtual positioning of orthodontic appliance and conversion the coordinates of malocclusion model were all done with self-programming software.The data of 3D printing model with brackets on it were output finally and printed out with EDEN260V (Objet Geometries, Israel) to make indirect bonding transfer tray.Digital vernier caliper was used to measure the length and width of upper and lower left brackets and buccal tubes on those 3D models after removal of surrounding supporting material by ultrasonic vibration and water-spray.Intra-examiner reliability was assessed by using intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC), and one-sample T test was used to compare the measurements with the standard dimensional data of the brackets.Results: There were significant differences which range in 0.04-0.17 mm between the 13 items out of the 19 measurement items.Except for the length of the lower left premolars''brackets, mean values of the other items were greater than the test value.Conclusion: Although the measurement results in the width of brackets and the width and length of the buccal tubes obtained experimentally were slightly larger than the test value,this may not reduce the accuracy of indirect bonding procedure in clinic necessarily.Whether the differences which range in 0.04-0.17 mm would actually affect the retention and positioning of brackets needs to be confirmed by further studies.

Studies of biological feedback (BF) for the treatment of chronic prostatitis (CP) are occasionally reported have exhibited some related problems. This article presents an evaluation of the published literature on the BF treatment of CP at home and abroad in the aspects of instrument, method, application, effect, function, and mechanism. UROSTYMTM and MyoTrac are often employed and their operating paths are basically the same. NIH prostate symptom scores, urinary function, pain, sexual function, immune function, prostate fluid, and other indicators are generally used for the analysis of the effects of BF alone or in combination with other therapies on CP and its related symptoms. Either BF alone or BF combined with other therapies can promote urination, reduce pain, improve the quality of life, attenuate inflammation, improve sexual function, adjust immunity, and lessen physical and chemical stimulation. However, the relevant literature is of low quantity and quality, the reported studies are not standardized, and exploration of the action mechanisms is neglected.

Situational teaching method was implemented in clinical teaching of obstetrics and gynecology. The basis of situational teaching was established through the establishment of a typical teaching case library. Students' impression of disease diagnosis and treatment was strengthened by simulation. The students' enthusiasm was improved by their own diagnosis and treatment through the teacher's guidance. With the method of situational teaching, students had better knowledge of obstetrics and gynecology, and their clinical diagnosis and treatment capacity was improved. Situational teaching method can improve the quality of teaching and it is worthy being popularized in clinical teaching of obstetrics and gynecology.

Objective To evaluate the role of standard CPR training in Beijing Olympics medical volunteers by compared with the no-traimng medical personnel.Method Performance qualities of CPR was evaluated in the 44 medical vohmteers,who worked in a Beijing Olympic Venue.They received the training On standard CPR for 6 monthes,and served as training group.The performance of another 72 emergency medical workers from first-class hospitals without the training on stand CPR within 1 year(control group) Was compared with training group.Phillips QCPR3535 monitor was used to measure the compression frequency,depth and chest re-expand between the compression and the operation time via the sternal chest compression pad fitted with an accelerometer.Personal practical results of 5 circles of CPR operation were recorded in a table and the numbers ofpractical. Compression in one minute were counted.Data Were analyzed with chi-quare test and t-test.The parameters ofthe influence fac.tor(gender,age,hand placement,hand skill,compression posture and standard training)were brought into logistic regression analysis.Results Compared with the control group,the qualification rate of general CPR performance in the training group was much higher(86.4%vs.31.9%),and the compression cpmlification rates of the chestcompression,depth and chest re-palld betweenthe compression wcfe higher(88.6%,93.2%,95.5% vs.40.3%,43.0%,86.1%,P<0.01),the duration of ventilation in each operationstion was shorter[(6.38±1.3)vs.(7.57±1.6),P0.05],pratieal compressionn flberin oneminutewas not different[(77.2±3.5)vs.(77.8±12.2),P>0.05)],the ratios of the duration of compression to that of ventilation was higher(2.6:1 vs.2.1:1).Logistic analysis showed that hand skill,compression posture and standard CPR trainings were high correlated with the CPR performance qualities(P<0.05).Conclusions The performance quahty of training group is much higher thanthat ofcontrol group.The standard and continuous CPR training is elfecfive in improving the quality of CPR operation.

Aim To explore the effect of shikonin on stemness maintance of glioma stem cells ( GSCs ). Methods After the U87-MG cells were cultured and isolated, the sphere cells were identified by immuno-fluorescent staining. The alteration of stemness of GSCs by shikonin treatment(2 μmol·L - 1 ) for 12 h, 24 h and 48 h was valued by morphological detection using optical microscope and sub-sphere forming assay. Mo-reover, the related markers of stem cells, such as CD133, were detected in shikonin treated GSCs by western blot assay. Protein expression of PI3K, p-PI3K, Akt and p-Akt was detected by western blot af-ter shikonin treatment alone. Furthermore, by combi-nation with insulin-like growth factor-1 ( IGF-1), we observed the alteration of stemness maintance of shiko-nin-treated GSCs. Results The presence of neural stem cell related markers CD133 and nestin proved the characteristics of GSCs. Shikonin treatment significant-ly inhibited the morphology of GSCs and the sub-sphere forming. Besides, the reduced expression of CD133 was detected in shikonin treated GSCs. Though, the expression of PI3K and Akt did not change compared with the control group, the expression of p-PI3K and p-Akt was reduced. Furthermore, the combination of IGF-1 markedly attenuated the inhibitory effect of shikonin on stemness maintance of GSCs. Conclusion The stemness maintance of GSCs can be significantly inhibited by shikonin treatment, in which PI3K/ Akt pathway is involved.
