Objective To measure the dynamic and static frictional resistances between different self-ligating orthodontic brackets and different combination of tandem archwires.Methods On standard model the upper right quadrant Damon Q self-ligating brackets was pasted as team A,3M Smart clip self-ligating brackets as team B and Forestadent Quick 3.0 self-ligating brackets as team C respectively.Nickel-titanium archwires of 0.012 inch and 0.016 inch and two nickel-titanium archwires of 0.014 inch were applied to simulate sliding in the brackets and measure the friction changes in brackets and archwires,so as to explore the frictional resistance between different combination of the tandem archwires and different self-ligating brackets.Results When using the combination of two 0.014-inch nickel-titanium tandem archwires,the static frictional resistances was significantly different (P＜ 0.05):team A ＜team B ＜team C while the kinetic frictional resistance was also significantly different (P＜0.05):team A ＜team B ＜team C,When using the combination of 0.012-inch and 0.016-inch nickel-titanium tandem archwires,the static frictional resistances was significantly different (P＜0.05):team A＜team B＜team C,while the kinetic frictional resistance was also significantly different (P＜0.05):team A＜team B＜team C.Gonclusion There are different frictional resistance in different kind of self-ligating brackets and different combination of the tandem archwires.The combination of two 0.014-inch nickel-titanium tandem archwire applied to Forestadent Quick 3.0 self-ligating brackets has the biggest frictional resistance while the combination of 0.012-inch and 0.016-inch nickel-titanium tandem archwire applied to the Damon Q self-ligating brackets has the lowest frictional resistance,which enables the teeth to move at the fastest speed and facilitates the following use of the edgewires.

Objective To detect the changes of the brain white matter microstructure at the acute stage of posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD)resulting from a single,extreme and long-lasting trauma.Methods DTI scans were performed on 1 7 survivors of coal mine disaster(PTSD group)and 1 7 cases of normal control(control group).The differences of the mean diffusivity(MD)values measured from the whole brain DTI between the two groups were analyzed based on tract based spatial statistics (TBSS).MD data were statistically compared between the two groups based on nonparametric random permutation test(RPT),and the brain areas of significant differences between the two groups were obtained.Results Compared with the control group,MD values were increased in the bilateral rostral corpus callosum body and left precorona radiata,and decreased in the bilateral superior and posterior corona ra-diate,posterior limb of the left internal capsule,left cerebral peduncle and left thalamic.The differences were statistically significant (P <0.01 TFCE-corrected).Conclusion TBSS is a comprehensive and accurate method for evaluate the changes of brain white mat-ter in PTSD cases.TBSS can provide an objective basis of the pathological brain neural structures imaging for early diagnosis and in-tervention of PTSD.

Objective To explore the relationship of the expression, regulation and adhesion of PTA1 in pregnancy induced hypertension(PIH). Methods The expression,regulation and adhesion of PTA1 on vascular en- dothelial cells incubated by sera from 10 PIH patients and 10 normal pregnant women repectively was detected by flow cytometry. Results The positive rate of PTA1 15.51% (24h) and 6.32 % (48h) in PIH group is significantly higher than that 7.81% (24h) and 4.72 % (48h) in normal pregnant woman group( P < 0.01 ). After the incubation with platelets,the positive rate of PTA1 6.64% (24h) and 4.13% (48h) in PIH group is lower than before(P< 0.05). The PTA1 expression 8.11% (24h) and 4.28% (48h) in PIH group is much lower after blocking with PTA1/IgG than that before(P < 0.01 ). Conclusion There are some abnormal stimulated factors in PIH patients, which activate vascular endothelial cells. PTA1 plays an important role in the adhesion of platelets to vascular en- dothelial cells, PTA1 is closely related to the progress of PIH which indicates that PTA1 directly or indirectly takes part in the pathophysiologic consequences of PIH.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence of nasal colonization among health care workers(HCWs).METHODS Nasal swabs from 93 ICU workers and 98 other clinical workers were cultured and isolated and the tests of antibiotic susceptibility were performed by using paper diffusion method.RESULTS In total,214 isolates of 8 species from 191 health care workers were recovered,of which 187 isolates were coagulase-negative Staphylococcus(CNS)(the carriage rate of 93.71%) and 8 isolates were Staphylococcus aureus(the carriage rate of 4.19%).While the total Gram-negative bacteria carriage rate was 14.14%(27 isolates).The most frequent CNS species were S.epidermidis and S.haemolyticus.The antibiotic susceptibility profiles of S.aureus and CNS differed sharply: all 8 S.aureus strains were resistant to penicillin but were fully susceptible to oxacillin,in contrast,most of CNS were resistant to both penicillin and oxacillin.The carriage rate of CNS(60.2%)and Gram-negative bacteria(26.9%)in HCWs of ICU were higher than other HCWs(P

Objective To explore the clinical effect of endoscopic-assisted intraoral reduction mandibuloplasty.Methods From January 2010 to December 2014,a total of 186 patients with prominent mandibular angles underwent one stage long-curved ostectomy combined with splitting corticectomy through an intraoral approach with endoscopic assistence according to preoperative design for reduction mandible three-dimensionally,and achieved reduced width of the lower face with smooth curve of mandibular edge.The distance between both gonions was measured and the complications recorded to evaluate the clinical effect of the surgery during follow-up.Results All the 186 patients had no complications of bleeding and infection.The mean distance between both gonions measurement was (117.3±2.5) mm before surgery and (102.6±2.3) mm after operation;it was reduced (14.1 ±2.4)mm.After 1 month to 2 years of follow up,the width of the lower face was reduced in the frontal view and the mandibular angle appeared natural and inconspicuous in the lateral view.The patients were satisfied with both their frontal and lateral appearances.Conclusions Intraoral approach mandibular ostectomy with endoscopic-assisted allows surgeons to perform accurate,safe and reproducible ostectomies and to recontour mandible symmetrically and reduce the complications.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and mechanism of vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) in the preoperative and postoperative treatment of bedsore united with skin flap.Methods Twenty two cases with bedsore were randomly divided into experimental and control groups.In the control group,the surgery of flap was performed after the treatment of continuous negative pressure about 7-10 days and the VAC was not applied after operation.While in the experimental group,VAC was not used before operation.It was applied on flaps as soon as sutured the border of flap and decubitus ulcers and removed after 7-10 days.By comparing the general appearance of two groups,microvessel count and the detection rate of bacterial culture and other indicators,the clinical effects of two treatments were investigated and the preliminary mechanism was analyzed.Results After preoperative VAC treatment,11 cases of control group showed a little granulation tissue growth,less subcutaneous hematoma and wound effusion,increased microvessel count and negative bacterial culture.However,there were 4 cases of death cavity residual,subcutaneous hematoma and wound effusion,positive bacterial culture and another 4 cases of delayed healing with skin flap repairing bedsore.The application of VAC in experimental group showed close contact of flap with the basement,less effusion,increased microvessel count and negative bacterial culture.One case of skin flap had a small area of separation,after the dressing of skin and the flap survived.The other wounds healed by first intention.Conclusions The use of VAC to repair bedsore can reduce the number of operation,and it is beneficial to the flap survival.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of supplementing qi and activating blood circulation method (YQHX) on platelet aggregation rate (PAgR), platelet adhesion rate (PAdR) and thromboxane B2(TXB2) level in patients with stable angina pectoris and intolerable to aspirin.

METHODSSeventy-six out-patients with stable angina (qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrom) pectoris intolerable to aspirin were randomized into two groups, 40 in the treated group and 36 in the control group. Both received conventional Western medicinal treatment with YQHX to the treated group additionally, for 1 month. PAgR, PAdR, TXB2 level, platelet count, hemoglobin concentration and fecal occult blood were measured before and 1 month after treatment, and the cardiac events as well as diges tive symptoms occurred in the observation period were recorded.

RESULTSPAgR, PAdR and TXB2 level lowered in the treated group after 1-month treatment showed a significant difference to those of baseline, and also to those in the control group (all P <0.01). But no significant difference was found between pre-treatment and post-treatment, also between the two groups in platelet count, hemoglobin concentration, fecal figure and incidence of adverse cardiac events, as well as digestive symptoms (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONYQHX can effectively inhibit the platelet function in patients with stable angina pectoris without aggravation of digestive symptoms. Cardiac event reducing effect of YQHX was not seen in this study, it is necessary for large sampled study for confirmation.
