Objective: To study the implant-bone interface remodelin g after loading of submerged and nonsubmerged implant denture.Methods: 8 adult beagle dogs were used to build the animal model. Submerged and nons ubmerged implants were implanted into the bilateral mandible. Fixed metal full c rown was used to carry out the submerged and nonsubmerged implant denture. The b eagle dogs were sacrificed by steps after loading of the dentures. HE staining t echnique was used to observe the dynamic remodeling process of implant-bone int erface.Results:2 weeks after loading of implant denture, a major ity of the implant surface attached to bone tissue directly, however, at the int erface, especially at the top of the screw thread, bone tissues were absorbed an d substituted by fibrous tissues. 4 weeks after loading, fine attachment was fou nd at the implant-bone interface and the previouly observed fibrous tissue at t he interface was gradually remodeled to form new bone. 8 weeks after loading, i mplant directly attached to bone tissues by osteo-interface, and the cellular c omponents and capillaries were decreased at the interface.12 weeks after loading , all implants attached to bone tissues by osteo-interface with high combinatio n level, typical Havers system was observed at the interface.No obvious differen ce in the interface remodeling was observed between the submerged and nonsubmerg ed implant denture. Conclusion:There is no distinct difference i n the implant-bone interface remodeling after the loading of submerged and nons ubmerged implant denture.

Objective: To establish a Beagle dog model for the study of the mechanism of implant-bone interface remodeling following the restoration of submerged and nonsubmerged implant denture. Methods: 8 adult purebred beagle dogs were used to build the animal model. Fixed metal full crown was used to carry out submerged and nonsubmerged implant denture in the dogs to mimic the normal chewing status in animal models. Results: The submerged and nonsubmerged implant dentures were made successfully. After the implant denture restoration, all experimental dogs were fed with granular horniness forage to guarantee enough biting stimulation. The chewing fashion of experimental dogs was not changed obviously during the experiment process. Although the horniness forage may result in fairly bigger bite force, no visble biting hurt was found 12 weeks after loading and the fixed implant dentures were all preserved. Conclusion: The beagle dog model can preferably mimic the normal chewing fashion and the models are both availability and credibility.

Objective To determine whether normal-appearing cervical spinal cord in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has abnormal changes based on the quantitative measurement in healthy volunteers. Methods Conventional MRI and axial DTI were obtained in 16 patients with ALS (ALS group) and 16 age-matched control subjects (normal group) . ADC, fractional anisotropy (FA) and relative anisotropy(RA)imagcs were obtained on workstation (AW4. 2). ROIs (5 mm × 5 mm) were placed in anterior funicalus, posterior funiculus, and bilateral lateral corticospinal tracts (LCTs), respectively, at the same slice (C3). Independent-sample t test was used for comparison of parameters between the two groups. Correlations between DTI parameters of ALS and ALS course, Norris score, and ALSFRS were carried out separately by Pearson correlation analysis. Results FA and RA values of bilateral LCTs were decreased significantly. FA/RA values of left LCT were 0.762±0.089 and 0.762±0.107 in ALS group, while they were 0.863±0.098 and 0.890±0.105 in control group, respectively. FA/RA values of right LCT were 0.751±0.065 and 0.772±0.082 in ALS group, and they were 0.843±0.118 and 0.863±0.134 in control group, respectively, they were decreased significantly (t = 2.575、4.195、2.246、2.218, P < 0.05). There were no significant differences (t = - 1.319, - 1.087, P > 0.05) between ADC values of left and right CSTs in ALS group [(0.744±0.162) × 10~(-3), (0.767±0.141) × 10-~(3) mm~2/s] and control group [(0.640±0.149) ×10~(-3), (0.643±0.168) ×10~(-3) mm~2/s)]. FA, RA and ADC values of ALS patients in anterior funiculus were 0.637±0.113, 0.622±0.138, (0.950±0.354)×10~(-3) mm~2/s, in control group they were 0.670±0.117, 0.656±0.136, (0.865±0.238) × 10~(-3) mm~2/s, there were no significant differences (t = 0.854, - 0.704, - 1.155,P > 0.05). FA, RA and ADC values of ALS patients in posterior funieulus were 0.886±0.073, 0.920±0.100, (0.613±0.137)×10~(-3) mm~2/s, in control group they were 0.906±0.078, 0.914±0.135, (0.636±0.224) × 10~(-3) mm~2/s, there were no significant differences (t = 1.655, - 0.148, - 1.360; P > 0.05). No significant correlation existed between FA and RA values and disease course, Norris and ALSFRS score (P > 0.05), in left and right LCTs. Conclusion DTI with SE-EPI technique is simple and sensitive to detect the pathological changes of the cervical spinal cord in ALS patients. DTI can reveal the abnormalities which are "normal appearing" on conventional T_2WI.

Objective To investigate T cell receptor(TCR)variable β(BV)chain usage at the maternal-fetal interface and explore the relationship between the skewed TCR BV usage and unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion(BSA).Methods Eighteen cases with unexplained RSA,together with matched 41 women with normal pregnancies in first trimester from Renji Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University were studied.A high-resolution spectrum typing analysis of complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3)was used to detect and compare the degree and frequency of TCR BV family expression in deciduas between RSA patients and normal controls.Results(1)The expression degree of BV19(0.029±0.031 vs.0.013±0.010,P=0.038)in RSA group showed a higher usage,while BV5.2(0.040±0.035 vs.0.067±0.052,P=0.046)showed a significantly lower usage when compared with normal controls.No significant difference in the expression of the other TCR BV families between RSA and controls were observed(P>0.05).(2),TCR BV2,3,6,and 7 were the four most common BV families in deciduas of patients with RSA and normal controls,whose frequencies were all mors than 50%.In RSA group,higher frequencies of BV15 (33.3%vs.7.3%,P=0.018),BV19(38.9%vs.14.6%,P=0.049)and BV20(33.3%vs.7.3%,P=0.018)were observed;meanuhile lower frequencies of BV4(33.3%vs.65.9%,P=0.026)and BV7 (66.7%vs.92.7%.P=0.018)distributions were observed.The other TCR BV families did not display significantly different freqencies of distribution(P>0.05).Conclusions It is suggested that a significant skewed TCR BV family occurs at the maternal-fetal interface in patients who undergo abortion.The specific skewed usages of TCR BV might be associated with the susceptibility to unexplained pregnancy loss.

Objective To evaluate gray matter volume,white matter volume and FA value changes in amyatrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS)patients by voxel-based morphometry(VBM)and voxel-based diffusion tensor analysis(VBDTA).Methods Thirty-nine definite or probable ALS patients diagnosed by El Escorial standard and 39 healthy controls were recruited and underwent conventional MR scans and the neuropsychological evaluation.The 3D FSPGR T_1WI and DTI data were collected on GE Medical 3.0 T MRI system.The 3D T_1 structural images were normalized,segmented and smoothed,and then VBM analysis was performed.DTI data were acquired from 76 healthy controls,and FA map template was made.FA maps generated from the DTI data of ALS patients and healthy controls were normalized to the FA map template for voxel-based analysis.ANCOVA was applied,controlling with age and total intracranial volume for VBM and age for VBDTA.A statistical threshold of P<0.01(uncorrected)and cluster level of more than continuous 20 voxels determined significance.Results Statistical results showed no significant difference in the global volumes of gray matter and white matter,total intracranial volumes and gray matter fraction between ALS patients and healthy controls,but the white matter fraction of ALS patients(0.29±0.02)was significantly less than that of healthy controls(0.30±0.02)statistically(P=0.003).There was significant reduction of gray matter volumes in bilateral superior frontal gyri and precentral gyri,right middle frontal gyrus,right middle and inferior temporal gyrus,left superior occipital gyms and cuneus and left insula in ALS patients when compared with healthy controls;and the regional reduction of white matter volumes in ALS patients mainly located in genu of corpus callosum,bilateral medial frontal gyri,paracentral lobule and insula,right superior and middle frontal gyrus and left postcentral gyrus.VBDTA showed decrease in FA values in bilateral parahipocampal gyri and cingulate gyri in ALS patients compared with healthy controls.Conclusions VBM and VBDTA analysis results suggest that ALS is not simply a motor neuron disease but a multisystem disorder;and VBDTA has a potential value for the detection of FA value changes of cingulate and parahippocampal gyral white matter in suspected cognitive impairment of ALS patients.

PurposeTo analyze the sonographic and the histological features of special types of breast malignant tumors in order to explore preoperative ultrasound diagnosis. Materials and Methods Seven cases of special types of breast malignant tumors confirmed by pathology were retrospectively investigated by ultrasound. The sonographic and histological features of the lesions were reviewed. The ultrasonogram manifestations of the breast anatomy and the lesions were observed and recorded.Results Among 7 cases, there were 2 cases of papillary carcinoma, 3 cases of mucinous carcinoma, and 2 cases of lymphoma. Microscopically, the papillary carcinoma had clear boundaries with infringing mesenchyme, and the tissues were papillary and dense. The mucinous carcinoma had cancer cells floated in mucus lake. The primary breast lymphoma was diffused large B-cell type with focal lesion. For sonography type of breast, there were 3 cases of fatty types, 1 case of fibroglandular-1 and 3 cases of fibroglandular-2. The papillary carcinoma was hypoechoic in 2 cases, one of them was expansive growth with large size. Two cases of mucinous carcinoma were hypoechoic without accompanying sound attenuation in 1 case and with accompanying acoustic shadow due to calcification in the other case. Lymphoma was apparent anechoic and cystoid.Conclusion Special types of breast malignancies have different sonographic features and histological features from the common invasive ductal carcinoma. It has high clinical significance to enhance the understanding of rare malignant breast tumors.
