Objective To investigate the stress in the periodontal tissues using three-dimansional finite element method when Richtts Arch was used.Methods Three-dimensional finite element models of the lower left central incisor and first molar were set up by means of CT.Stress distribution in root,PDL and alveolar bone,and the tendency of the tooth movement were obtained by calculation under Richtts Arch.Results The value of the force at the left lower incisor was -0.34 Newton and the value of the force at the left lower molar was 0.65 Newton.The molar model revealed that the tensile stress concentration was at the mesial root cervix and the compressive stress was at the distal root cervix.The incisor model showed that the tensile stress was concentrated at the lingual cervix and the compressive stress was concentrated at the apical tip.The arch wire exerted intruding force,lingual force and the incisor tended to lingual movement and intruding movement.The molar had the tendency of lingual movement and distal tipping movement.Conclusion The anchorage molar will incline mesially when Richtts Arch is used in treatment of deep overbite,the additional torque must be used in the anchorage molar.

Objective To investigate the association between the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs894278 and rs11931074 of α-synuclein (SNCA) and non motor symptoms in Parkinson' s disease (PD).Methods One hundred and twenty PD patients and 100 healthy controls enrolled from Tonglu Hospital Affiliated to Ruijin Hospital and Ruijin Hospital,Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from 2012 to 2014 were recruited and the motor subscale of the Unified Parkinson' s Disease Rating Scale Ⅲ (UPDRS-Ⅲ) was used to evaluate motor function.The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE),17-item Hamilton Rating Scale (HAMD-17),the Rapid Eye Movement Behavior Disorder Screening Questionnaire (RBDSQ) and the ROME-Ⅲ criteria for chronic constipation were used to evaluate non motor symptoms.SNCA SNPs (rs894278,rs11931074) were genotyped by direct sequencing.Results There was no statistically significant difference in age,sex,non motor symptoms scores among the three genotypes of the two SNPs in control group.There was no statistically significant difference in age,sex,UPDRS-Ⅲ scores and Hoehn-Yahr stage among the three genotypes of the two SNPs in PD group.The results demonstrated that there was no association between the two SNPs and RBDSQ scores,HAMD-17 scores,MMSE scores and constipation in PD patients.However,additional analysis showed that patients with GG rs894278 had a greater proportion of clinical probable RBD than those with GT and TT types (GG 52.2％,12/23;GT 18.2％,10/55;TT 21.4％,9/42;x2 =9.254,P=0.002;x2 =6.424,P=0.005).In Logistic regression analyses adjusting for age and sex,we observed that rs894278 GG genotype could increase the risk of RBD in PD patients (OR =5.367,95％ CI =1.607-17.925,P =0.006).There was no association of RBD with allelic and genotypic distributions of SNCA rs11931074.Conclusion The results indicate that the rs894278 polymorphism correlates with RBD,while rs11931074 does not.

Objective To study the effect of massive blood transfusion program(MTP) in early massive blood transfusion and preventing coagulopathy.Methods Fifty cases of massive blood transfusion were clinically collected and performed the statistical analysis and processing before and after intervention according to the blood transfusion scheme of MTP.The statistical comparison was performed by using the data before and after intervention.Results PLT was decreased with the increase of transfusing of RBC.After transfusing 15 U of RBC,the PT test,INR and APTT were increased significant(P＜0.05).After transfusing 20 U of RBC,the Fib was decreased significant(P＜0.05).The MTP had statistical difference between before and after intervention(P＜0.01).Conclusion The MTP application has an important significance to prevent the occurrence of coagulopathy and evaluate the coagulation status.

Objective To investigate the effects of 4.1N expression in lung cancer A549 cell line on cell proliferation, invasion and migration. Methods A549 cells were cultured in vitro and transfected with lipofectamine 2000 mediation. Three groups were employed: transfection with pEGFP-4.1N plasmid, pEGFP vector plasmid, and blank control, respectively. The mRNA and protein expression differences of 4.1N was examined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot in every group after 48 h. The proliferation capability was determined by MTT assay. Invasion capability was evaluated by scratches, adhesion experiments and Transwell chamber model. Results After the transfection, the expression of 4.1N mRNA and protein in pEGFP-4.1N plasmid transfection group was significantly enhanced (P<0.05). The proliferation capability of A549 cells descended extremely (P<0.05). The migration and invasion capability of A549 cells in vitro decreased substantially (P<0.05). Conclusions Transfected with 4.1N gene can significantly increases the expression levels of 4.1N mRNA and protein in A549 cells which are highly metastatic in human. Cell behavior in vitro studies showed that 4.1N gene can inhibit the proliferation, adhesion, invasion and migration of A549 cells, which plays an important role in the metastasis of lung cancer and it may become a molecular marker for metastasis of lung cancer.

Objective To evaluate the application value of confocal laser scanning microscopy(CLSM)in the differentiation between seborrheic keratosis and Bowen′s disease. Methods CLSM was used to observe typical skin lesions in 88 patients clinically diagnosed with seborrheic keratosis and 18 patients clinically diagnosed with Bowen′s disease. Then, tissue specimens were resected from these lesions and subjected to histopathological examination. Results CLSM imaging of seborrheic keratosis lesions showed gyrus?like structures and keratin?filled inclusion cysts in the epidermis with trabecula?like extension of rete ridges in all the 88 cases, basal cells arranged in a cordike or radial pattern in 9 cases, and bright reflective structures in the basal layer and dermis in 6 cases. CLSM imaging of Bowen′s disease lesions revealed disorderly arrangement of large, irregularly shaped atypical cells in some areas in the middle and lower epidermis, and infiltration of scattered mononuclear cells in the superficial dermis. Conclusion CLSM images of seborrheic keratosis are different from those of Bowen′s disease, and CLSM may be helpful for their differential diagnosis.

Objective To assess whether anemia is an independent predictor of poor long-term outcome after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods The second drug-eluting stent impact on revascularization registry(DESIRE-2)is a single-center registry of 6005 patients undergoing coronary revascularization from July 2003 to September.2005.We examined the clinical data and outcome of 3809 PCI patients based on hemoglobin(Hb)value before the interventional procedure.Patients were classified as anemia using the World Health Organization deftnition(＜120 g/L in women and＜130g/L in men). 744 of the 3809 patients were anemic.We compared the clinical features and prognosis of the patients with or without anemia.Results Anemic patients were older and had a higher percentage of comorbidities as compared with the nonanemic ones.When compared with nonanemic patients,anemic patients had higher mortality(4.7%VS 1.5%,P＜0.001)and higher major adverse event end points,including nonfatal myocardial infarction,stroke and revascularization(14.0%vs10.8%,P=0.014).After adjustment for comorbidities,anemia was associated with a higher risk of mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention(RR 2.216,95%CI 1.019-4.428;P=0.024).Conclusions Anemia is an independent predictor of mortality after PCI.Since PCI iS a common procedure and anemia is a frequent condition in the general population,strategies for the management of anemic PCI patients should be developed.

OBJECTIVE Ginsenoside metabolite compound K (CK) is a degradation product of ginsenoside in the intestine by bacteria. The anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities of CK have been reported. This study investigated whether CK exerted its immunoregulatory effect through modulation of dendritic cells (DCs) function. METHODS In vivo, severity of collegen-induced arthritis (CIA), T cells and DCs subsets, phenotype of DC were assayed by flow cytometry, CCL19 and CCL21 level in lymph nodes assayed by ELISA. In vitro, bone marrow-derived DCs from normal mice were matured with lipopolysaccharide and treated with CK for 48 h. In vivo, bone marrow-derived DCs were generated from CIA mice before and 2 weeks into CK treatment. DCs were analyzed for migration, phenotype and T- cell stimulatory capacity. RESULTS CK alleviated the severity of CIA, decreased pDCs and mo-DCs, increased na?ve T cells in CIA mice lymph nodes, and suppressed CCL21 expression in lymph nodes. CK suppressed DCs migration induced by CCL21 and T cells-stimulatory capability of DC, down-regulated LPS-induced expression of CD80, CD86, MHCII and CCR7 on DCs. CONCLUSION This study elucidated the novel immunomodulatory property of CK via impairing function of DCs in priming T cells activation. These results provide an interesting novel insight into the potential mechanism by which CK contribute to the restoration of immunoregulation in autoimmune conditions.
