Objective: To compare the coronal sealing abilities of different post and cement systems through measuring the value of leakage by using dye method. Methods: Fifty human mandibular premolars with single canal were divided into 6 groups randomly. A group: roots sealed by temporary material, B group: roots restored with fiber post adhered with composite resin cement, C group: roots restored with casting metal post and core adhered with composite resin and zinc phosphate cement, D group: positive control, E group: negative control. After finishing preparation and restoration of roots, microleakage was determined by using dye method. Results: The groups restored with any post and core system produced significantly less microleakage than temporary material sealing group(P<0.05). But no differences were detected between two groups bonded with the composite resin cement (P>0.05). Posts adhered with zinc phosphate luting agent produced more leakage than those with composite resin cement(P<0.05). Conclusion: Luting agent can decrease the coronal microleakage. Composite resin cement provides better sealing ability.

Objective To investigate the relationship between early brain menifestation such as white matter damage and ventriculomegaly detected by magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) and adverse neurodevelopmental outcome in preterm infants.Methods From March 15,2007 to April 12,2011,122 preterm infants accepted MRI examination 8-14 days after birth in Chinese People's Liberation Army 202 Hospital.Totally,115 preterm infants were followed up at 12 months old and mental development index(MDI) and psychomotor development index (PDI) score were measured.MDI<70 was as mental dysfunction,-84 as borderline dysfunction and-114 as normal; PDI<70 was as psychomotor dysfunction,-84 as borderline dysfunction and-114 as normal.The relationship between clinical characteristics of preterm infants,MRI abnormalities and neurodevelopmental outcome were analyzed by analysis of variance,LSD and Kruskal-Wallis H test.Results The 122 premature infants included 69 males and 53 females with the median gestational age of 32 weeks(28-36 weeks)and the median birth weight of 2050 g (1270-3110 g).In 24 premature infants with mentaldysfunction,the average gestational age [(28.7 ± 1.7) weeks],birth weight[(1520.1-44.8) g] and 1 min Apgar score (5.5 ± 0.8) were all lower than those in normal infants [n =59,(33.5 ± 2.2)weeks,(2240.4 ± 47.1) g and 7.1 ± 0.8],while the average mechanical ventilation time was longer [(20.4±5.8) dvs (5.6±2.7) d](t=2.37,2.49,2.13 and 2.44,P<0.05).In 20 premature infants with psychomotor dysfunction,the average gestational age [(27.9 ±± 1.4) weeks],birth weight [(1515.6±43.7) g],1 min Apgar score (5.6t0.5) were lower than those in normal infants [n=62,(33.2±2.4) weeks,(2264.3±42.5) g and 7.2±0.6],while the mechanical ventilation time was longer [(18.2±4.7) dvs (5.3±2.2) d](t=2.28,2.52,2.09 and 2.38,P<0.05).Among thirteen preterm infants with severe white matter damage,eleven and nine developed mental or psychomotor dysfunction respectively.Among eleven preterm infants with moderate and severe ventriculomegaly,seven and six developed mental or psychomotor dysfunction respectively.The more severe the white matter damage and ventriculomegaly,the higher the incidence of mental (H=16.23 and 14.33,P<0.05) and psychomotor dysfuction (H =18.63 and 12.69,P < 0.05).Conclusions White matter damage is common in preterm infants.Prognosis of preterm infants with mental and psychomotor dysfunction is related with the degree of white matter damage and ventriculomegaly.

Objective:To evaluate the characteristics of bonding interface and microstructure of different resin composite inlays. Methods:Different composite resins and adhesives were used for restoration of extracted molars, the results were evaluated under scanning electron microscope(SEM) and atomic force microscope(AFM).Results:The microstructure feature of Tescera was with higher density when compared with that of other conventional resins,and fewer small holes could be seen in Tescera. AFM pictures showed that Tescera was with a very smooth surface. Indirect composite resin could be combined with resin bonding agent tightly and infiltrated each other. The interface between direct resin inlay material and resin bonding agent was very clear,and no obvious interfiltration could be seen under SEM and AFM. Conclusion:After treatment with water, heat,light and pressure, the physical properties of indirect composite resin is improved effectively, and obvious infiltration can be found in the interface.

Objective To detect and analyze nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB),Helicobacter pylori (HP),Helicobacter pylori cytotoxin associated protein A (CagA),platelet (PLT) and platelet associated IgG (PA IgG) in 224 patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpur(ITP) from three urban hospitals of Shaoxing,in order to explore the role of NF-κB and CagA in the pathogenesis of ITP,then to improve the prognosis of ITP.Methods SABC method was used to detect the NF-κB,13C breath test for the determination of the Hp infection.CagA and PA-IgG were tested by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.Automatic blood cell analyzer was used to measure PLT.According to the test results,the patients were divided into Hp+cagA+NF-κB+,Hp+cagA+NF-κB-,Hp+cagA-NF-κB+,Hp+cagA-NF-κB-,Hp-NF-κB+,Hp-NF-κB-PLT groups,and PA-IgG,PLT of the six groups were statistically analyzed.Results Of 224 cases with ITP,175 cases of HP positive,the positive rate was 78.13%.CagA+ 91 cases in 175 cases of Hp+,accounting for 52%,overall 43.63%.NF-kappa B+ 108 cases,the positive rate was 46.21%,78 cases were found in Hp+cagA+,accounting for 85.71% in cagA+.In 84 cases of Hp+cagA-,there were 21 cases NF-κB+,the positive rate was 25%.In 49 of HP-,9 cases with NF-kappa B+,accounting for 18.37%.PLT and PA-IgG were compared among the groups.The count of PLT of group Hp+,group Hp+cagA+ and group NF-κB+ was lower than group Hp-,group Hp+cagA- and group NF-κB-.However,the level of PA-IgG of group Hp+,group Hp+cagA+ and group NF-κB+ was higher than group Hp-,group Hp+cagA- and group NF-κB-,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion CagA maybe directly or through the activation of NF-kappa B take part in the immune response of ITP,cause PA-IgG increased and thrombocytopenia.

Owing to the increasing morbidity and pulmonary infection,management of pulmonary function has become an important problem for COPD patients who undergo surgery.Surgical patient with respiratory disease such as COPD has declined lung function before operation,then increased the risk of post-operative pulmonary complications.Ipratropium bromide can significantly improve pulmonary function.Therefore,we hypothesis the treatment with nebulized ipratropium bromide will benefit the perioperative patients with COPD.A randomized,double-blind,placebo-controlled,parallel-group,multi-center trial (Ipratropium bromide in Peri-Operative COPD study,IPO-COPD study)has been conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nebulized ipratropium bromide in Chinese perioperative patients with COPD under general anaesthesia.A total of 192 COPD patients who satisfied the eligibility criteria were randomly assigned(1∶1) to one of the two treatment groups(ipratropium bromide 500 μg or normal saline 4 ml) for 11 days.Measurements will include the change of the forced expiratory volume in 1 second(FEV1),the forced vital capacity(FVC),blood gas analyses and main post-operative pulmonary complications.
