Objective: To evaluate the remineralizing effe ct of glass ionomer cement (GIC),calcium hydroxide(Dycal)and zinc phosphate ceme nt on soft dentin. Methods:Standard cavity of 1 mm?2 mm was pre pared on each of the 60 premolars extracted for orthodontic treatment. The teeth were randomly divided into three groups with 20 in each after demineralization ,the cavities were blocked by GIC, Dycal and zinc phosphate cement respectively and filled with zinc oxide. All the teeth were dipped in man-made saliva for 3 0 days.Then the samples were sectioned, microradiographied and the mineral conte nt were determined by microdensitometry. Results:The remineraliz ing rate in the group of GIC, Dycal and zinc phosphate cement was 31.22%,13.19 % and 8.92% respectively (P

Methods The result of 14 cases with carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater treated by local resection and 18 cases undergoing Whipple procedure in this hospital between 1988.5～1999.5 was analyzed. Results The postoperative morbidity for local resection was 7% and 39% for Whipple procedure respectively, P 0 05,and 5 year survival rate was 30% and 62% respectively, P

ObjectiveTo evaluate nonoperative management of adult blunt hepatic injury. MethodThe outcome of 132 cases with adult blunt hepatic trauma admitted in this hospital between Oct 1982 and Oct 2002 was analyzed. Thirty-four cases (25.8%) were treated by nonoperative management. Before 1995, only a portion of patients underwent CT scan and after 1995, diagnosis of liver injury was established by CT scan in all cases. ResultThe nonoperative management rate before 1995 was 16.7% (14/84) and after 1995, it was 41.7% (20/48)(P0.05). ConclusionWith the progress of image monitoring and life support system, some patients of blunt hepatic injury could be managed by conservation therapy.

AIM To Investigate the effect of breviscapine on delayed outward potassium current in single ventricular cell of guinea pig. METHOD Using whole cell patch clamp technique. RESULTS Breviscapine enhanced I k dose dependently. Breviscapine with the concentration of 0\^01 and 0\^02 mg?L -1 increased I k by 44.6% and 78.3%,respectively. The effect could be reversed by washing. CONCLUSION Breviscapine can open the K + channel and incrase I k .

OBJECTIVE To analyse the infection of Acinetobacter baumannii(ABA) in ICU of Cardiac Surgery,and make analysis for its resistance to 14 antibiotics.METHODS The collection of clinic stains of ABA isolated from ICU in 2008.The pathogens were identified by VITEK-Jr.RESULTS The drug resistance rates of Imipenem and cefoperazone/sulbactam were 74.4% and 18.6%.The resistance rates to other drugs were more than 70%.CONCLUSIONS ABA strains isolated show the trend of multi-durg resistance.We should pay more attention to the monitor of the resistance to antibiotics.

ObjectiveTo explore the biological features of colorectal adenoma with chicken-skin mucosa ( CSM ) and its clinical significance.MethodsExpression of cell proliferation markers ( Ki-67 and COX-2) and apoptosis-related factors ( survivin and caspase-3) in normal colorectal mucosa,colorectal adenoma without CSM,colorectal adenoma with CSM and colorectal adenocarcinoma were detected by immunohistochemistry SP method and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).ResultsImmunohistochemical results revealed a decreased trend in expressions of Ki-67 and COX-2 from colorectal adenocarcinoma through colorectal adenoma with and without CSM to normal colorectal mucosa,while the expressions of survivin and caspase-3 showed an increased trend.By ELISA,the expressions of Ki-67,COX-2,surviving and caspase-3 showed no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05 ) between colorectal adenoma with CSM and coloreetal adenocarcima,while these variables were significantly different (P ＜ 0.05) between coloreetal adenoma with and without CSM,so as well between normal colorectal mucosa and other 3 groups.ConclusionThe biological characteristics of colorectal adenoma with CSM are different from those without,showing an activated cell proliferation and inhibited cell apoptosis with increased carcinogenesis risk.

Objective To analyze the clinical features,and prognosis of the interstitial lung disease (ILD) in patients with dermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis (PM) by chest X-ray,chest high-resolution CT scan (HRCT) and pulmonary lung function.Methods Thirty-three patients hospitalized with DM/PM associated ILD were retrospectively analyzed.Results Thirty-three patients with ILD were confirmed by HRCT.Abnormal pulmonary function tests were available in 82% of patients.Clinical-imaging analysis revealed that the pathological features of ILD were non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP,57%) and unusual interstitial pneumonia (UIP,25%).UIP types showed a poor prognosis and high mortality (70%).Conclusion This study shows that HRCT is more sensitive for the diagnosis of ILD than lung function tests and chest X-ray.Combined HRCT and chest X-ray with lung function tests and blood gas analysis have shown that the major pathological types of ILD are NSIP and UIP,in which UIP are associated with high mortality and poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the association between a few single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)in Fc receptor like 3(FcRL3)and rheumatoid arthritis(RA)in Han nationality of Anhui patients.Methods One hundred and forty RA patients along with one hundred and eighty-seven healthy controls were included in the study.SNPs of FcRL3-1(rs0158440),FcRL3-2(rs2225828),FcRL3-3(rs7528684).FcRL34(rs11284799),FcRL3-5(rs945635),FcRL3-6(rs3761959),FcRL3-7(rs2210913),FcRL3-8(rs2282284)and FcRL3-9(rs2282283)in the FcRL3 gene were genotyped by MALDI-TOF technology.Haplotypes were estimated using PHASE v 2.1 software.Results The frequency of FcRL3-3-1 69C alleles in RA patients was significantly increased compared with healthy controls(X~2=7.348,P=0.007,OR=1.558,CI:1.130～2.150).The decreased compared with healthy controls.ConclusionFcRL3 may be associated with RA susceptibility in Anhui Han population.

The LasR gene was amplified from the genome of Pseudomonas aeruginosus by PCR and recombined with plasmid pUCP18 reversely. The recombinant pUCP18/lasRantisense was verified with restriction analysis, PCR and sequence and was transformed in Pseudomonas aeruginosus. The biological effect of pUCP18/lasRantisense was detected by RT-PCR, NAD method and the assay of pyocyanin. The air tubes of rats were infected by pUCP18/lasRantisense strain and then carried on histopathologic slide check. Expected full length LasR fragment (721bp) can be extended from Pseudomonas aeruginosus gene with PCR technology. And it is consistent with LasR gene of Pseudomonas aeruginosa covered in GenBank (NO. NC_002516). The recombinant plasmid was constructed and transformed into Pseudomonas aeruginosus sucessfully. Compared with the rats which were infected by standard strain, the bronchitis of the rats which were infected by pUCP18/lasRantisense strain was obviously eased. It can be concluded that the antisensenucleic acid of LasR gene can depress the virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosus and reveal a new target site for treatment.

Objective To analyze the immune privilege of lung in acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD).Methods The models of aGVHD were established,and C57BL/6J→C57BL/6J model was used as control.The clinical scores and survival were observe& The pathological injuries were compared between the lung and traditional target organs (liver,small intestines and skin).The expression of IFN-γ in different organs after transplantation was detected by ELISA.Results Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) mice had high 42-day survival rate (20 ％) post-transplantation,and recipients of allogeneic grafts showed classical symptoms and histological injury,and pathological changes of lung were not as serious as the liver,small intestine,skin at day 28 after transplantation.Syngeneic mice all survived at day 42 after transplantation,without GVHD symptoms and pathological changes.The mice in MHC-disparate mice (2 ∶ 1 and 4 ∶ 1 groups) died significantly faster at a median of 12 days after transplantation,with severe changes of clinical symptoms and pathology of classical organs,and MHC-disparate mice (4∶1 groups) had developed severe interstitial pneumonitis.The mean IFN-γ concentration in the lung of allogeneic HSCT mice was obviously increased in the first and second week after transplantation,the IFN-γ concentrations of target organs (liver,small intestines,skin) were slightly increased in the first and second week after transplantation,and there were statistically significant difference from lung (P＜0.05).Condmion There wasrelativeimmune privilege of lung in a murine model of aGVHD induced by HSCT,which was associated with the expression of MHCin the mice and IFN-gamma of lungs after transplantation.
