Objective :
To evaluate the clinical outcomes of all-ceramic crowns whose oral digital impressions were scanned by 3Shape Trios.
Methods :
All the impressions were scanned by Trios and all the crowns were fabricated according to the standard procedure. The restoration quality were evaluated using modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria one year after treatment. Restoration integrity、 marginal adaptation、enamel wear、 color satisfaction and gingival index (GI) of the prostheses were evaluated according to the modified USPHS criteria.
Results:
The clinical 1 year survival rate of 92 porcelain crowns fabricated by 3-shape Trios digital impression and made by CAD/CAM was 100%. The scored A rates of restoration integrity、 marginal adaptation、 enamel wear、 secondary caries、color satisfaction and gingival index of the prostheses were 100%、91.3%、 98%、95.6%、96.7% and 94.7% after 1 year, respectively.
Conclusion
The clinical outcomes of all-ceramic crowns whose oral digital impressions were scanned by 3Shape Trios and whose crowns were made by CAD-CAM are satisfying.

Objective:
The objective of this study was to compare the early clinical effects of zirconia all⁃ceramic
crowns using two different impression methods. Zirconia ceramic crowns were produced using digital models based on
either a silicone rubber impression perfusion model in vitro or a 3D mouth scanner.
Methods :
A total of 50 patients
with a planned restoration of the first permanent molar with zirconia all⁃ceramic crowns after root canal therapy were se⁃
lected and randomly divided into two groups: a digital impression by intraoral 3D scanning group and a digital impres⁃
sion by extraoral scanning after silicone rubber impression group. Zirconia all⁃ceramic crowns were created by CAD/
CAM in both groups. Marginal adaptation, proximal contact, and occlusal contact were compared between groups.
Results:
There was no significant difference between the two groups in marginal adaptation (P > 0.05). For proximal con⁃
tact and occlusal contact, no significant differences regarding the number of cases for the criteria of level A and level B
were found between two groups (P > 0.05), while the misfit value in level B was smaller in the first group than in the
second group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion
Zirconia all⁃ceramic crowns with intraoral 3D scanning show excellent early
clinical performance.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the influence of nasal continual positive airway pressure (nCPAP) on the erectile function of erectile dysfunction (ED) patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome(OSAS).
METHODSTwenty-seven patients with ED and OSAS were randomly divided into treatment (n = 15) and control (n = 12) groups, the former treated by nCPAP from 22:00 to 6:00 per night for 1 month. And the apnea-hypopnea index(AHI), the lowest oxygen saturation (SaO2) and IIEF were compared before and after treatment.
RESULTSAHI, the lowest SaO2, erectile function and IIEF showed no significant difference before treatment in the two groups, but displayed a significant improvement after treatment in the treated group compared with the control (P > 0.05), in which no significant changes were observed before and after treatment (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONnCPAP therapy can improve the erectile function of ED patients with OSAS.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical value of T shape approach in the treatment of proximal tibial fractures.
METHODSOne handrend and thirteen patients of proximal tibial fractures were randomly divided into two groups. Group A: 62 cases underwent the traditional exposure approach. According to Schatzker classification,the cases of II to VI type was 25, 10, 16, 6, 5 respectively. Group B:51 cases underwent T shape approach ahead of knee joint, the cases of II to VI type was 21, 8, 13, 5, 4 respectively. All data were analyzed by SPSS 10.0 to compare operation time, blood loss, duration of hospitalization, healing time, the time of osseous union and complications after operation.
RESULTSSixty patients in group A and 50 patients in group B were followed-up from 12 to 24 months. (1) Operation time:group B was longer than A (P < 0.01). (2) Mean blood loss and duration of hospitalization was the same. (3) Clinical healing time:group B was shorter. (4) Mean time of osseous union: 48 group B was shorter. Function of knee: group B was better than group A. (Complication: group B was less than group A.
CONCLUSIONAs compared with traditional exposure approach, T shape approach of knee joint had advantages of small scar, fewer complications, faster union of fracture and earlier recovery of joint function. The approach is valuable for the treatment of proximal tibial fractures.

Objective To systematically evaluate the associations between SEC16B polymorphisms and body mass index (BMI) or risk of obesity in different ethnic populations.Methods A literature retrieval was carried out by using Wanfangdata,Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),China Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP databases),PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,NIH GWAS catalog databases to collect the research papers published between 2009 and 2015 on the associations between SEC16B polymorphisms and BMI or risk of obesity.Summary beta estimates (βs),odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the strength for the BMI analyses and obesity status.Meta-analysis was performed with Stata 12.0 software.Results Totally 15 papers for rs10913469 and 13 papers for rs543874 were included in this Meta-analysis.Under additive genetic model,rs10913469 and rs543874 in SEC16B gene were positively associated with BMI,and the combined β was 0.04 (95%CI:0.03-0.05) and 0.03 (95%CI:0.02-0.04),respectively,and rs10913469 and rs543874 were also associated with the risk of obesity,and the combined OR was 1.11 (95%CI:1.08-1.15) and 1.28 (95%CI:1.20-1.36),respectively.There were no significant differences among subgroups of ethnicity,different age groups and literatures with different quality.Conclusion rs10913469 and rs543874 in SEC16B gene are significantly associated with BMI and the risk of obesity,and C allele ofrs10913469 and G allele ofrs543874 increase the risk for obesity in different ethnic populations.

Objective To investigate possible effect of 6 obesity-associated SNPs in contribution to central obesity and examine whether there is an interaction in the 6 SNPs in the cause of central obesity in school-aged children in China.Methods A total of 3502 school-aged children who were included in Beijing Child and Adolescent Metabolic Syndrome (BCAMS) Study were selected,and based on the age and sex specific waist circumference (WC) standards in the BCAMS study,1196 central obese cases and 2306 controls were identified.Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood white cells using the salt fractionation method.A total of 6 single nucleotide polymorphisms (FTO rs9939609,MC4R rs17782313,BDNF rs6265,PCSK1 rs6235,SH2B1 rs4788102,and CSK rs1378942) were genotyped by TaqMan allelic discrimination assays with the GeneAmp 7900 sequence detection system (Applied Biosystems,Foster City,CA,USA).Logistic regression model was used to investigate the association between 6 SNPs and central obesity.Gene-gene interactions among 6 polymorphic loci were analyzed by using the Generalized Multifactor Dimensionality Reduction (GMDR) method,and then logistic regression model was constructed to confirm the best combination of loci identified in the GMDR.Results After adjusting gender,age,Tanner stage,physical activity and family history of obesity,the FTO rs9939609-A,MC4Rrs 17782313-C and BDNF rs6265-G alleles were associated with central obesity under additive genetic model (OR=1.24,95%CI:1.06-1.45,P=0.008;OR=1.26,95%CI:1.11-1.43,P=2.98 × 10-4;OR=1.18,95% CI:1.06-1.32,P=0.003).GMDR analysis showed a significant gene-gene interaction between MC4R rs17782313 and BDNF rs6265 (P=0.001).The best two-locus combination showed the cross-validation consistency of 10/10 and testing accuracy of 0.539.This interaction showed the maximum consistency and minimum prediction error among all gene-gene interaction models evaluated.Moreover,the combination of MC4R rs17782313-C and BDNF rs6265-G was associated with an increased risk of central obesity after adjustment for gender,age,Tanner stage,physical activity and family history of obesity.Conclusions Our study showed that FTO rs9939609-A,MC4R rs17782313-C and BDNF rs6265-G alleles were associated with central obesity,and statistical interaction between MC4R rs17782313-C and BDNF rs6265-G increased risk of central obesity in school-aged children in China.
