[Abstract ] Objective The orthodontic-surgery is the most effective way to treat the severe skeletal class Ⅲmalocclusion,but the long-term stability is still disputed .The aim of this systematic review is to analyze the long-term stability of hard tissue of seriously skeletal Class Ⅲ malocclusion patients treated with orthodontic combined surgical treatment . Methods Literature were searched through the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials , Cochrane Library, Medline via pubmed (1950-2014), EMBASE (1980-2014) and other foreign databases , and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database , China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database , VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals , digital journal of Wan fang Data and so on .Unpublished conference papers and gray litera-tures were collected manually .The literatures consist of randomized controlled trials ( RCT) , quasi-randomized controlled trials and clini-cal case-control trial (CCT) were selected.Then meta analysis was performed for annexable literatures and qualitative description was performed for diverged documents . Results Five foreign articles and 1 Chinese article suitable for analysis were ultimately studied . All the studies were CCT and a total of 260 patients were involved in the present systematic review .Meta analysis showed that the SNA , SNB, ANB, MP SN and Y-axis did not change significantly during 3 years after operation (P>0.05) and a good skeletal class I facial types were maintained .The comparison results of MP-SN and Y-axis showed that there was no significant statistical difference and the mandibular plane angle maintained the relative stability .Meta analysis was not performed because of the different measurement methods of A, B, Pg and Ramus inclination , so the qualitative description was used .Point A and Ramus inclination remained relatively stable posi-tion, but point B and Pg had some replace compared with post-operative. Conclusion The orthodontic and surgical treatment for skeletal classⅢmalocclusion could keep the hard tissue relative stabil-ity except a little replace of the mandibular .

OBJECTIVEThis study aims to analyze the long-term stability of the anterior teeth and hard tissue of skeletal class III malocclusion after a three-year orthodontic surgery by systematic review.
METHODSAll studies about skeletal class III malocclusion with orthodontic-surgery were searched by computer-based retrieval and manual retrieval; the deadline is December 2013. The literature, filtered according to the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria, was performed with quality. assessment. The same indicators of the anterior location and hard tissue stability were combined and evaluated with metaanalysis and descriptive analysis by Rev Man5.2.
RESULTSFour before-and-after comparison study articles with 180 cases were included. The grades of the four literature evaluation were A. The meta-analysis results showed that comparing the three-year post-orthodontic-surgery and post-orthodontic-surgery, the total weighted mean difference (WMD) of Ul-SN was 4.29 (P<0.05); the WMD of Ll-MP, OB, OJ, SNA, SNB, ANB, and MP-SN were -1.58, 0, -0.41, -0.58, 0.25, -0.70, and 0.39, respectively (P>0.05). The measurement methods of A and B point position were different, hence the qualitative description were as follows: point A remained at a relatively stable position, and point B had some replacement compared with post-operative (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONTo the skeletal class III malocclusion after three-year orthodontic-surgery, the position of the lower anterior teeth could be kept stable, as well as the overbite and the overjet of the anterior teeth; only the upper inci- sor has a lip-inclined relapse. The maxillary could also be kept stable, and the mandibular had a little relapse.

Objective:To investigate the effect of 125I particles in alveolar echinococcosis with the animal model (nude mice and Sprague Dawley rats). Methods:Twenty 10 weeks nude mice with body weight ranged from 20 to 24 g were divided into three groups. Sixteen nude mice were divided into experimental group ( n=8), puncture group ( n=4) and model group ( n=4). There was no intervention in the model group and only particle puncture needle was used in the puncture group. 125I particles were implanted in the experimental group. 14 male Sprague Dawley rats without specific pathogen, with body weight 280-320 g, 12 weeks old, were used to construct the model of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis. Then the rats were divided into intervention group ( n=10) and control group ( n=4). In the intervention group, 125I particles were pushed into the lesions. The abdomen was only open and closed in the control group. All the mice were sacrificed 45 days after intervention. The tumor size was measured. The activity of protoscolex and pathological changes of Echinococcus multilocularis in each group were observed. Results:At the timepoint of 22nd, 30th and 40th day of intervention, the largest diameter of tumor in nude mice experimental group was (10.7±5.2) mm, (10.9±5.0) mm, (8.5±4.3) mm, smaller than that in puncture group (24.5±4.4) mm, (25.4±4.1) mm, (31.4±2.8) mm and model group (22.5±7.3) mm, (25.0±5.4) mm, (26.7±6.3) mm, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). The number and activity of protoscoleces in experimental group were lower than those in puncture group and model group. Under the light microscope, the structure of echinococcus vesiculae and its body in the experimental group was obviously destroyed, and the cuticle and germinal layer of echinococcus vesiculae in the puncture group and the model group were normal, with multiple intact protoscoleces. The pathological changes of Sprague Dawley rats in the intervention group and the control group were basically the same as those in the nude mice model. Conclusion:The 125I particle radiation effect can kill Echinococcus multilocularis protoscoleces and inhibit the growth of alveolar echinococcosis.

Transcription factors (TFs) as key regulators play crucial roles in biological processes. The identification of TF–target regulatory relationships is a key step for revealing functions of TFs and their regulations on gene expression. The accumulated data of chromatin immunoprecip-itation sequencing (ChIP-seq) provide great opportunities to discover the TF–target regulations across different conditions. In this study, we constructed a database named hTFtarget, which inte-grated huge human TF target resources (7190 ChIP-seq samples of 659 TFs and high-confidence binding sites of 699 TFs) and epigenetic modification information to predict accurate TF–target regulations. hTFtarget offers the following functions for users to explore TF–target regulations:(1) browse or search general targets of a query TF across datasets;(2) browse TF–target regulations for a query TF in a specific dataset or tissue;(3) search potential TFs for a given target gene or non-coding RNA; (4) investigate co-association between TFs in cell lines; (5) explore potential co-regulations for given target genes or TFs; (6) predict candidate TF binding sites on given DNA sequences; (7) visualize ChIP-seq peaks for different TFs and conditions in a genome browser. hTFtarget provides a comprehensive, reliable and user-friendly resource for exploringhuman TF–target regulations, which will be very useful for a wide range of users in the TF and gene expression regulation community. hTFtarget is available at http://bioinfo.life.hust.edu.cn/hTFtar-get.
