Objective:To compare the effects on the size and distribution of stress of different adhesives on post-core crown restored posterior stump of teeth dentin, to discover reasonable post-crown adhesive material of posterior stump of teeth post-core crown,by three dimensional finite element analyses. Methods:Establish three dimensional finite element models of maxillary first molar post-core crown by CT scanning, Mimics and Abaqus software,which include post core,crown,tooth root, pericementum,alveolar bone and adhesive material. Divide above models into experimental and control group according to the relative adhesive material. Choose three load spots on the occlusal surface of this model, and exert 80N loading strength on each. Then calculate the peak value and distribution mode of Von mises stress,max-principle stress and shear stress. Results:In the different adhesive material experimental groups,the peak value of the stress on the dentin of the composite resin group was lower than those in zinc phosphate groups. Conclusion:On the condition of this experiment,different adhesives have different effects on the peak value and distribution of the stress on the post-core crown restored posterior stump of teeth dentin.

Glycoprotein N is encoded by glycoprotein N (gN) gene of herpesviruses. The amino acid composition and expression level of this protein vary among difference species of herpesviruses. According to present studies, gN protein is expressed in cytoplasm of host cells, mainly in endoplasmic reticulum. The gN forms a complex with glycoprotein M in host cells. The complex is involved in the processes of viral replication and inter-cellular infection. Moreover, this protein plays a role in immune evasion from host immune system. The study will provide a theoretical basis for further study of herpesvirus gN gene and its encoded protein.

?-Synuclein (?-SYN ) .previously identified as a breast cancer specific gene, has a wildly tumor expression profile mainly in advanced stage. As a special chaperone,?- SYN stimulates the proliferation and metastasis of tumor cells through interacting with estrogen receptor and (or) BubR1. Meanwhile, it is also detectable in the serum or urine from tumor patients, which indicates that?- SYN could be potential as a tumor marker for diagnosis and prognosis.

Objective:To explore the role of Semaphorins 3A(Sema 3A) and its receptor Neuropilin-1 (Nrp1) in the development of chronic periodontitis of rats and clinical samples.Methods:20 SD rats were divided into 2 groups.Rats in the experimental group were induced into chronic periodontitis models.Rats in control group were not treated.After 8 weeks,maxilla of all the rats were collected for micro-CT scanning and IHC staining.The distance from cementoenamel junction to alveolar bone crest(CEJ-ABC) and the IOD of Sema3A/Nrp1 positive staining in rats were analyzed.20 clinical samples of chronic periodontitis(n =10) and normal periodontal tissues (n =10) were collected for immunofluorescence and qRT-PCR analysis.Results:The CEJ-ABC distance of chronic periodontitis group was higher than that of the control group(P ＜ 0.05).The IOD of Sema3A/Nrp1 in experimental group was lower than that of the control group (P ＜ 0.05) and with a negative correlation with bone loss (P ＜ 0.05).Immunofluorescence and qRT-PCR analysis showed that the expression level of Sema3a/Nrpl in clinical samples with chronic periodontitis was also lower than that of the healthy subjects(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:The reduced Sema3A/Nrp1 plays an important role in the development of bone destruction in chronic periodontitis.

Objective To compare the immunogenicity of pneumococcal surface adhesion A (PsaA) and pneumococcal surface protein A (PspA). Methods The variability of the genes and the expressed pneumococcal proteins PsaA and PspA was investigated by electrophoresis. Cross-reactivity of proteins with the antibodies induced by the corresponding proteins of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 5, 6B,1, 19F and 23F was researched by Western blot. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was adopted to detect the antibody subclasses and the accessibility of antibodies induced by PsaA and PspA to the surface of the above intact strains. Cross-protection against challenging with Streptococcus pneumoniae strains was indagated in mice. Results Both proteins showed to induce the similar level of antibody subclasses.This study demonstrated that cross-reactivity of pneumococcal PspA was restricted in the same clade, which showed less extensive than pneumococcal protein PsaA. But antibody induced by pneumococcal protein PspA could be bound to the surface of the intact strains, which conduced the stronger cross-protection against inva sive strains. Conclusion The mice immunized with PspA protein cross-protected well against the invasive strains in which PspA belonged to the same clade 1 of family 1. It showed that pneumococcal protein PspA was more effective than PsaA in protection as composition of vaccine.

The infratemporal fossa abscess is an irregularly shaped cavity, situated below and media to the zygomatic arch. It consists of masseter and nervus vascularis, etc. Comparatively speaking, the low position of the infratemporal fossa has almost freed the patient from dental, nasal,ocular and aural source of pain. So facial acupuncture is more likely to cause the infection. But it is also possible that the patient get cryptogenic infection of maxillofacial cavity, the treatment of which needs further study.

Objective To study the effeciency of endoscopic balloon dilat ation(EBD) for benign structures of colorectal anastomosis. Methods Fifteen cas es with benign stenosis of colorectal anastomosis(BCAS) were treated with endosc opic balloon dilatation,of which sigmoidectomy was performed in one case,and ant erior resection was performed in 14 case;stapler was used in 13 case,and hand su tura was used in 2 cases.Diameters and lengths of strictures were ranging from 0 .2～ 0.7 cm and 0.5～ 2.0 cm respectively. Results Strictures of all 15 patients were dilated successfully.There were no complications in this series.Follow－ u p has been from 3～ 30 months without recurrence of symptoms. Conclusion EBD is safe,efficient and well tolerated,and should be considered as the first choice o f treatment of BCAS.
