This paper reports the results of treating peridontal diseases with local irrigate on of matronidazole in five different concentrations. Comparative percentages of spirochets and coccal bacteria in pefridontal diseases were determined. It was found that metronidazole in concentrations over 0.05% were effective in treating of simple periodontitis, necrotic gingivitis, pregnant gingivitis and marginal gingivitis cet. This methoa is useful for those who can not be adminished with oral route.

OBJECTIVE:To determine the concentration of AstragalosideⅣin Yishenkangshuai tablet.METHODS:The sample was separated by using chloroform-ethyl acetatemethanol-water(15∶40∶22∶10)on the silica gel plates.The plate was scanned at510nm by camagⅡTLC scanner.RESULTS:The rate of recovery was99.28%and RSD was2.5%.CONCL_ USION:The method is simple,quick and repeatable.

Genetically modified organisms, as a high-tech product, break through the limitation of different organisms and create new organisms through gene implanting from other kinds of organisms. They not only bring great benefits to human beings but also bring some ethical issues including the effect on environment,the effect on human health,and the respect to hatural law.Moreover,this article argues some ethical issues during the process of commercialization and sale including how to maintain the consumers' benefits,the protection on researchers through potent right,the precautionary principle and label issues.

Objective:To investigate the treatment effect of combined forsus appliance on young people's Angel Ⅱ~1 malocclusion. Methods:13 Angel Ⅱ~1 cases during pre-peak or peak period was chosen, treated with combined forsus appliance for an average period of 5.5 months, evaluated treatment effect through cephalometric and cast measurement. Results: All canines and molars have reached class Ⅰ or over-class Ⅰrelations, 13 patients' mandibular retrognathia face have gained significant improvement. Conclusion: The combined forsus appliance can be used in early functional treatment, improve class Ⅱ face type and decrease the difficulty of the second period and enhanced treatment effect.

Alanine aminotransferase (ALT)abnormality is an indicator of the degree of liver inflammation caused by immune activation in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).However,approximately half of the CHB patients with normal or mildly elevated ALT levels have concealed significant changes in hepatic histology.CHB patients with normal or mildly elevated ALT levels may have significant histopatho-logical changes in hepatic tissues,and those changes vary between HBeAg(+)and HBeAg(-)CHB patients.Attention and investigation on the clinical management of CHB patients with normal or mildly elevated ALT levels may have great significance in grasping the right treat-ment opportunity and reducing the risk of liver cirrhosis.

To study the effect of high altitude on the expression of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF ?1) during the healing process of radius fracture, a rat radius fracture model was established at a high altitude. The expression of TGF ?1 in callus was detected using of immunohistochemistry method. It was found that the expression of TGF ?1 in the rats of high altitude group were decreased significantly compared with the low altitude group, especially high altitude might affect the on day 3 and week 3 ( P

Objective To discuss difficulties and techniques of standard video-assisted thoracoscopic or laparoscopic surgery(SVATS or SVALS) for spine internal fixation.Methods Between July 2004 and September 2005,6 cases of vertebral lesions located in the T_5～L_1 segment(including 2 cases of vertebral tuberculosis) were given SVATS under single-lung ventilation for resection of diseased vertebral body,reconstruction with autograft or titanium mesh cage,and fixation with the Z-plate system or the CD-Horizon system.Other 2 cases of vertebral tuberculosis located in the L_2～L_3 segment underwent retroperitoneal gasless SVALS for lesion debridement,reconstruction with autograft,and fixation with the Z-plate system.For cases of vertebral tuberculosis,(anti-tuberculosis) drugs were administrated preoperatively for 3 weeks and postoperatively for 6 months.Results The lesion debridement and anterior decompression was completed in all the 8 cases,including internal fixation with the Z-Plate system in 7 cases and with the CD-Horizon system in 1 case.There were 5 cases of iliac autografting and 3 cases of titanium mesh cage reconstruction.The operative time was 6.5~12.6 h(mean,8.7 h) and the blood loss during surgery was 250~1 800 ml(mean,950 ml).The correction of the Cobb angle was 5?~18?(mean,12?).During a follow-up period for 2~13 months(mean,7.4 months) in the 8 cases,nerve functions recovered by 1~2 Frankel grade in 5 cases,and the Cobb angle lost by 4? at 6 months postoperatively in 1 case of metastatic adenocarcinoma at the T_7 segment.Conclusions Spine internal fixation of T_5～L_3 segment can be conducted successfully with SVATS or SVALS.The key to the question is accurate orientation of the port site,proper hemostasis of the segment blood vessel,and careful resection of the anterior wall of the vertebral canal.

Objective To explore the related factors of fertilization failure after in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. Methods 150 patients were divided into total fertilization failure (TFF) group, low fertilization (LFR) group, and control (NFR) group according to fertilization rate. Semen was collected from the male pa-tients; the number, concentration, shape, and progressive motility of sperms were measured. Level of gACE was detected by Western blot. Logistic regression was used to explore the factors affecting fertilization rate. Results The fertilization rate and the concentration , progressive motility , and shape of sperms in were lower TFF group than in LFR group and NFR group (P < 0.05). Western blot proved that level of gACE group was higher in TFF than in LFR group and NFR group (P < 0.05). Logistic regression showed that the fertilization rate, the concen-tration , progressive motility , shape of sperms , and the level of gACE were all the independent risk factors for fertilization failure. Conclusions The concentration, progressive motility, and shape of sperms have impact on IVF. A lower expression of gACE in patients with lower fertilization rate can be used as a potential biomarker for predicting fertilization failure.

Objective To establish a scientific and feasible evaluation index system of the quality of health education among the elderly in the community.Methods Based on the results of literature review,theory analysis,cross-sectional study and interviews,a draft evaluation index system was formulated.Then Delphi method was conducted on 28 specialists around the country,the weight of each index was determined by hierarchy analysis.Results After three rounds of Delphi procedure,the response rates of the three round consultation were all above 85％,and the authority coefficient and coordination coefficients was 0.858,0.210,respectively.An evaluation index system which covered three first-level items,7 second-level items and 35 third-level items was formulated.Conclusions Based on survey of the elderly and interviews of health education staffs in the community,and using the method of Delphi to collect experts' suggestion,a strong maneuverability and high reliability quality evaluation index system was formulated,which provided guidance for community health education of the elderly,and promoted its development towards scientization and standardization.
