AIM: To investigate the clinical use and effect of a removable obturator made of elastic bionic materials in treating food impaction.METHODS: The removable obturator made of elastic denture materials were applied to 27 patients who suffered either mixed or horizontal food impaction and were admitted in Guilin Stomatological Hospital from October 2006 to April 2007. At weeks 4 and 12 following treatment, all patients were surveyed by questionnaires to investigate wearing comforts, and the histocompatibility of the obturator was simultaneously evaluated. Periodontal indexes were recorded before treatment, at weeks 4 and 12 after treatment. X-ray radiography was also performed before treatment and 12 weeks after treatment to compare alveolar condition.RESULTS: All the 27 patients were involved in the result analysis. They were all satisfied with the obturator after twelve weeks treatment, and the questionnaire showed 96.3%-100% satisfactions from the patients. The measuring results of periodontal indexes at different periods of the treatment showed no statistical significance. There were no remarkable changes in the tooth mobility and X-ray image analysis before treatment and 12 weeks after treatment.CONCLUSION: With good histocompatibility, the removable obturator made of elastic denture materials has been proved to be well histocompatible, acceptable and effective for the patients who suffer from food impaction in the short term.

BACKGROUND: By detecting vasoactive substances of experimental rats with myocardial ischemia, pharmacological mechanism of xiongbitong was studied in this research.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of xiongbitong capsule on release of vasoactive substances of rats with myocardial ischemia.DESIGN: A completely randomized controlled study.SETTING: Department of Health, Weifang Medical College; Department of Physiology, Department of Immunity and Pathogenic Biology, Department of Internal Medicine, Weifang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine.MATERIALS: The experiment had been carried out in the Laboratory of Physiology of Weifang Medical College from January 2003 to June 2003.The cleansing grade 30 Wistar rats, 6-8 months, of either sex, were randomly divided into three groups:namely, normal control group, model control group and model group of treatment with xiongbitong capsule.METHODS: [1] At 12 hours before making model, rats of model treatment group were irrigated with xiongbitong capsule 2.5 g/kg (a capsule contents dried medicinal herbs 1 g), which consists of tuckahoe, rhizoma, immature bitter orange, exocarpium citri grandis, rhizoma acori tatarinowi, moxibustion, dalbergia wood, mongolian snakegourd, curcuma root, red sage root,root of donopsis pilosula, ilyturf root, ophiopogon, polygala root, date kernel etc., and dissolved in 4 mL physiological saline. AT ten hours after making model, they were irrigated with same dose once more. The rats of normal control group and model control group were irrigated with the same dose physiological saline at the same time. One hour after the first irrigation, the animal models of myocardial ischemia of rats of model control group and model treatment group were established by injecting vitriol isoprenaline according to 10 mg/kg subcutaneously. [2] Endothelin (ET), calcitonin generelates peptide (CGRP), 6-keto-prostaglandin Fl alpha (6-keto-PGF1α) and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) in the plasma of rats were detected according to the explanation of Institute of Beijing East Asia Immune Technique. [3] The analysis of variance and q test were used for comparing between groups.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Contents of vasoactive substances in the plasma of rats in each experimental group.RESULTS: The date of all thirty rats was entered the final analysis. [1]The contents of (TXB2) and ET, TXB2/6-Keto-PGF1α, ET/CGRP: Compared with the model group, the normal control group and model treatment group reduced obviously (q=2.99-9.87, P ＜ 0.05-0.01). [2] The contents of 6-Ke-to-PGF1α and CGRP: Compared with the model group, the normal control group and model treatment group increased obviously [(603.3 ±90.6),(190.0±64.2) ng/L; (560.7±111.1), (174.9±41.4) ng/L; (380.4±705),(114.9±36.4) ng/L, q=3.88-7.64, P ＜ 0.05-0.01].CONCLUSION: Xiongbitong capsule may suppress unusual release of vasoactive material at myocardial ischemia area obviously, increase the content of expanding the blood vessel material, and correct out-of-balance of content of important TXB2, 6-keto-PGF1α, XTB and CGRP in the body.

Diabetes is a vulgar malady of metabolism and incretion. It is important to monitor and control the blood glucose for the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes. In particular, it is one of the most effective means for physicians or patients to do so through self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) instruments. In this paper, SMBG instruments are discussed in detail and classified as the minimally invasive one, the non-invasive one and the continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS). The needle or laser applied to blood sampling, the technology of the minimally invasive one is relatively mature, and the result of measurement is exact, but this way is achy for the patients. Reverse iontophoresis and spectral analysis adopted, the non-invasive has an increasing accuracy. The CGMS can perform the periodical measurement and record of the value of blood glucose automatically for several days.

Objective:To observe the protective effects of genistein(GST) on the medulla oblongata neurons in ovariectomized rats. Methods:Rats with bilaterally ovariectomized were injected genistein 200 ?g/(kg?d) for 6 weeks. The madlondialdehyde(MDA)and superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity of medulla oblongata were measured, and the ultrastructure of medulla oblongata neurons were observed. Results:In the GST group,the MDA activity was reduced and SOD activity was increased compared with the OVX group. The ultrastructure of medulla oblongata neurons showed pathological changes in OVX group. These ultrastructure was not find in GST group. Conclusion:GST could protect neurons of medulla oblongata, which might be related to eliminate oxygen free radical.

ObjectiveTo observe the curative effects of nerve growth factor (NGF) on experimental acute cerebral thromboemblia rats and study the mechanisms preliminarily.Methods24 model rats were randomly divided into three groups treated respectively with NGF, citicoline sodium (CS) and normal saline (NS) for 20 days, and the neurological grades of animals were observed before and after treatment. Then, 55 rats were randomly divided into three groups: the treated group (25 model rats, treated with NGF), control group (25 model rats, treated with NS) and normal group (5 normal rats, without treatment), the levels of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) of all animals were measured at 1 h, 3 h, 6 h, 12 h and 24 h after acute cerebral thromboemblia established.ResultsThe neurological grades of both NGF and CS treated groups were significantly lowered after treatment compared with NS control group ( P<0.05). NOS levels of cerebral thromboemblia areas were higher than that in the control group 1 hour, 3 hours after acute cerebral thromboemblia, the levels of NOS in NGF treatment group were obviously lower than that in the control group post-traumatic 1 hour, 3 hours and 6 hours.ConclusionNGF can accelerate the nervous function recovery of the rat with acute cerebral thromboemblia, the mechanisms is that NGF prohibits neurotoxicity of NOS.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanisms of rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVL) on the pressor response of lateral hypothalamus-perifornical region (LH/PF) in rats.Methods30 healthy Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: the phentolamine group; propranolol group; atropine group and glutamate diethyl ester group, saline was as the control in every group. After microinjection of Glu into LH/PF, the blood pressure and heart rate were observed. Then phentolamine, propranolol, atropine and glutamate diethyl ester were microinjected into RVL and the blood pressure and heart rate changes induced by microinjection of Glu were observed again.ResultsMicroinjection of Glu into LH/PF can cause the blood pressure elevating and heart rate accelerating. The pressor response of Glu to excited LH/PF could be attenuated after response of phentolamine, propranolol, atropine and glutamate diethyl ester microinjected into RVL. The blood pressures of phentolamine group; propranolol group; atropine group and glutamate diethyl ester group reduced significantly different from those in the saline control group (P<0.01).ConclusionThe α-,β-,M- and Glu-receptors in the RVL induce the pressor response of LH/PF region.
