Objective:To study the characteristic of mandibular kinesiography(MKG) of the patients wearing linear occlusal denture or anatomic occlusal denture, and its relation with masticatory function. Methods:The characteristic tracks, range and speed of mastication movement of two groups of patients, 33 wearing linear occlusal dentures and 30 wearing anatomic occlusal dentures, were recorded by MKG and statistically compared.Results:Differences of mandibular movement track in linear occlusal denture group from that of the anatomic occlusion group were found as following:①There was no occlusal contact slide on the frontal plane track. The track of protrusion movement on sagittal plane was a straight line.②The maximum speed of closing of linear occlusal dentures was apparently slower than that of anatomic occlusal dentures (P

Objective To observe the effect of immunity condition and clinical manifestations of children with recurrent oral-ulcer(ROU)treated with aciclovir(ACV) and a-polyresistin.Methods Forty-eight patients with ROU were randomly divided into whole treated group(25 cases)and partial treatment group(23 cases).The changes of their peripheral blood lymphocyte subgroups,before and after treatment,were measured and contrasted to analyze the relationship with curative effect.Results The ratios of CD3,CD4,and CD4/CD8,after the treatment,increased obviously,while CD8 lowered obviously in treatment group(P0.05).The total clinical efficacy rate was 47.82%,moreover the patients were recurrent after 1 year.Conclusions ACV and a-polyresistin,through antivirus and regulating the immunity function get the 96% total clinical efficacy rate,and that controle the recurrent rate.It is superior to the traditional method.

Translational medicine is inevitable in the development of modern medicine, and the uprising concept of translational medicine provides an opportunity for the development of Chinese medicine (CM). Their ideas are well communicated. There are two patterns of researching on CM based on translational medicine: 'literature to bench to bedside' and 'bench to bedside to bench'. CM has her advantages in preventing and treating cardiovascular disease. Effective methods for preventing and treating cardiovascular disease by CM should be further studied based on translational medicine concepts.

Objective:To study the effect of Liuwei Dihuang decoction (LW) on secretion of testosterone in the testis leydig cells of senescence accelerated mouse (SAM). Methods:The level of testosterone in the testis leydig cells of SAM with aging and the effect of LW on the secretion of testosterone were observed using cultured testis leydig cells in vitro.Results:The level of testosterone in the testis leydig cells of SAMP8 with aging was significantly decreased and showed a significant difference compared with age-matched SAMR1. Chronic administration of LW (2.5 and 5.0 g/kg) for 5 months significantly ameliorated the secretion of testosterone in SAMP8 compared with control group. Conclusions:The secretory function of testis leydig cells was reduced in SAMP8 with aging. LW ameliorated the secretion of testosterone in the testis leydig cells,indicating that LW could antagonize or delay the deterioration of the testis leydig cells in SAMP8.

To describe the epidemiology, etiology, pathological features, clinical manifestation,diagnosis and management, and the role of surgery in mucosa-assoeiated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma.The relationship between the pathogenesis of gastric MALT lymphoma and helicobacter pylori infection, and its therapeutic principles and follow up study were specially stressed.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of combined preoperative chemora- diation program followed by radical surgery in bulky early or moderate uterine cervical cancer.To determine the incidence and predictive value of rasidual disease in the radical hysterectomy specimens after CCR. Methods Thirty-five patients with uterine cervix carcinoma from January 2001 to September 2003 were treated with preoperative external beam radiotherapy to 3060 cGy in 4 weeks.Patients received concurrent continuous infusion cisplatin(20 mg/m~2)on day 1,8,15,22 of four weeks and 5-Fu(4 g)chemotherapy during the first four days and the last four days of the radiation course.Radical surgery was not performed until 4 weeks after the completion of the preoperative treatment.Results Clinical response was 85.71%,complete response,54.29 %;partial response,31.43 %.The analysis of the surgical specimens showed 19 patients had revealed residual disease and 16 patients had revealed no residual disease,the complete pathological response hed been 45.71%.Three-year survival rate was 87.14 % in 35 patients.Three-year survival rate of residual disease patients(76.32 %)was significantly lower than that of no residual disease(100.0 %)(P=0.0358). Three-year survival of cervical stromal invasion less than 1/2 and invasion extra stromal was 100.0 %, 41.67 % respectively(P=0.0109);three-year survival of lymph-vascular space involvement and no lymph- vascula space involvement was 0,85.29 %,respectively(P=0.0148).Conclusion Combined preoperative chemoradiation program followed by radical surgery in bulky early or moderate cervical cancer could reveal an effective efficacy with a tolerant complication.Residual disease is an independent and strong predictive factor.

In order to determine the challenge dose of pigeon paramyxovirus type 1 (PPMV-1) inactivated vaccine (S-1 strain). The virus titer of PPMV-1 E5 allantoic fluid (Chuansha strain) was determined using SPF chicken embryos in this research. After inoculating 30-day-old and 120-day-old pigeons with low-HI antibody against PPMV-1 (HI antibody < or =2) with different doses of PPMV-1 (Chuansha strain), the clinical symptoms and histopathological lesions of the challenged pigeons were examined. The results showed that the minimal lethal dose (MLD) of PPMV-1 (Chuansha strain) was 102.5 ELD50, so we determined that 10(5.5) ELD50, which was 1000 times the MLD, could be taken as the challenge dose in the vaccine efficacy test for PPMV-1 inactivated vaccine (S-1 strain).

Objective To investigate the effect of surgical treatment of adult mandibular condylar fractures (including intracapsular fracture). Methods Thirty-two patients (33 sides) with condylar fractures underwent open reduction and rigid fixation. Six patients with intracapsular condylar fractures were treated with two 18-mm positional screws through a preauricular approach. Six patients (7 sides) with condylar neck fractures were rigidly fixed by 1 mini-plate via a retromandibular transparotid approach. Twenty patients with subcondylar fractures were operated and fixed by two titanium plates using an angular approach. Results The mean follow-up period was 13.5 months, and the mean maximum mouth opening was 37.5 mm by the last visit. All patients acquired good occlusal relationship and mandibular symmetry. Seven patients (21.9%) experienced transient palsy of the branches of the facial nerve, and recovered completely after three months. One patient developed a salivary fistula, and healed after two weeks of gauze compression. No permanent deficit of any facial nerve branch was observed. No patient showed condylar head resorption. Conclusion Appropriate surgical approaches and fixation methods for different types of condylar fractures are the key factors to achieve reliable clinical results.
