Preoperative and postoperative radiograp hs of each tooth were taken. Obturation time, incidence of pain during obturatio n and quality of obturation were compared.Results: Overfi lling was found in 11 cases in Thermafil group,while 3 in lateral condensation group( P 0.05).The average obturation tim e per canal of Thermafil and lateral condensation technique was 36.6 s and 247 .4 s respectuively ( P

Objective To investigate the spectrum of spiral CT imaging findings of blunt liver trauma.Methods Clinical data of 17 patients with blunt liver trauma were retrospectively collected. All patients underwent standardized spiral CT examination of the upper abdomen, which include plain scan, arterial phase and portal venous phase acquisition. The morphology, density and integrity of liver parenchyma and intrahepatic venous structures were carefully observed, as well as regions of porta hepatis, peritoneal cavity and retroperitoneal space.Results Twelve cases (70.6%) developed hepatic parenchymal laceration. There were 9 cases (52.9%) of traumatic hematoma, among which 5 were intraparenchymal and 4 were subcapsular. One case (5.9%) showed active bleeding within an intrahepatic hematoma, while two cases (11.8%) had injury (laceration) of hepatic veins. There were 7 patients (41.2%) who demonstrated the so-called “halo sign” around the intrahepatic portal branches. Thirteen patients were associated with peritoneal fluid (blood) collection, 3 with hematoma or hemorrhage of the right adrenal gland, 8 with plural effusion and 3 cases with rib fractures of right lower chest. Conclusion CT imaging findings of blunt liver trauma include parenchymal laceration, intraparenchymal and /or subcapsular hematomas, active hemorrhage, and tear of hepatic veins. Plain CT scan and contrast-enhanced dual-phase acquisition is very important for the comprehensive evaluation of patients with blunt liver trauma.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of a fast gradient-echo(GRE) three-dimensional contrast-enhanced volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination(3D-VIBE) MR sequence in evaluating focal liver lesions.Methods Conventional spin-echo T2W,2D GRE T1W plain scan and Gd-enhanced 3D-VIBE multi-phasic(early arterial,late arterial and portal venous phases) acquisitions were prospectively performed for 51 consecutive patients suspected of having focal liver lesions on CT or ultrasound imaging.Native T2W and 2D GRE T1W were acquired first,then 3D-VIBE fast scanning at early arterial,late arterial and portal venous phases respectively.The SNR and CNR of the liver lesions on plain scan and the enhancement patterns on contrast-enhanced 3D-VIBE images were carefully observed with correlation of the clinical and surgical pathological findings.Results There exited certain differences in SNR,CNR,and the enhancement patterns of different kinds of focal hepatic lesions in plain scan and Gd-enhanced multi-phasic 3D-VIBE acquisitions.Conclusion 3D-VIBE MR sequence is helpful in the detection and characterization of focal liver lesions.

Objective To study clinical effect of vaginoplusty with sigmoid colon by laparoscopic surgery. Method Clinical data of 45 cases with laparuscopic vaginoplasty using a vuscularized pedicled sigmoid colon flap were reviewed, including 41 cases with congenital absence of vagina and 4 cases with male pseudohermaphroditism. Operation time, blood loss, the anatomical and functional newly forming vagina were evaluated. Results The sigmoid colon colpopoiosis was preformed successfully in all 45 cases. The range of operation time was 135-245 minutes and the mean time was 157 minutes. The mean blood loss was 82 ml during operation. The artificial vaginas had excellent cosmetic outcome, including adequate vaginal length, good lubrication, and appearance and physical functions similar to natural vagina. A vaginal mould was employed for more than 3 months in 34 cases, achieving a good dilatation of the artificial vagina. Twenty-five patients with satisfied sexual intercourse were reported. Conclusion Laparoscopic vaginoplasty using a vuscularized pedicled sigmoid colon flap is a feasible and ideal management.

Objective To investigate the effect of ovarian cycle on the sedative effect of propofol in patients. Methods Forty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 20-40 yr, with body mass index 20-25 kg/m2 , scheduled for elective gynecologic laparoscopic surgery, were divided into 2 groups according to the progesterone level ( n = 20 each): follicular phase group (group F, serum progesterone concentration 0.31-1.52 ng/ml) and luteal phase group (group L, serum progesterone concentration 5.16-18.56 ng/ml). Anesthesia was induced with target-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol and iv injection of fentanyl and cisatracurium. The initial target plasma concentration (Cp) of propofol was set at 2 μg/ml, after the Cp reached the predetermined level, the Cp increased by 0.5 μg/ml every 30 s until the patients lost consciousness and BIS value was decreased to 50. The BIS value and Cp of propofol was recorded when the patients lost consciousness. The Cp of propofol was also recorded when BIS value was decreased to 50. The patients were tracheal intubated and mechanically ventilated. Anesthesia was maintained with TCI of propofol combined with remifentanil. BIS value was maintained at 45-55 by adjusting the Cp of propofol. Results The Cps of propofol were significantly higher when the patients lost consciousness and when BIS value was decreased to 50 in group F than in group L ( P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01) . There was no significant difference in BIS value when the patients lost consciousness between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05). Conclusion Ovarian cycle can affect the sedative effect of propofol in patients, which shows that the sedative effect during the follicular phase is lower than that during the luteal phase.

Aim To investigate the effects of silencing MALAT1 gene on cell proliferation inhibition and apop-tosis induced by Melittin in human hepatocellular car-cinoma HepG2 cells. Methods The inhibitory rate of cell proliferation treated with Melittin in HepG2 cells was examined by MTT assay. Apoptotic rate was detec-ted by flow cytometry. The MALAT1 expression level in HepG2 cells was measured by qPCR. Specific siR-NAs were utilized to silence MALAT1 expression. The rates of cell proliferation inhibition and apoptosis in HepG2 cells treated with siRNA and Melittin were compared with those of Melittin alone. Results Melit-tin significantly suppressed the growth of HepG2 and induced cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Compared with normal liver cell lines, MALAT1 was highly expressed in HepG2 cells ( P<0. 05 ) . The ex-pression of MALAT1 in HepG2 cells was inhibited by Melittin, and the inhibitory rate increased with the in-crease of concentration. The rates of cell proliferation inhibition and apoptosis in HepG2 cells treated with siRNA and Melittin were significantly higher than those treated merely with Melittin. Conclusion Melittin can reduce the expression of MALAT1 and silencing MALAT1 can effectively promote proliferation inhibi-tion and apoptosis in HepG2 cells induced by Melittin.
