Objective:To analyze the factors which affect mandibular third molar angulation changes during treatment of adult orthodontic patients.Methods:80 post-treatment adult patients including 154 mandibular third molars(M3) were selected.The gender,age,clinical classification and treatment methods of the patients were recorded.The pretreatment and post-treatment panoramic radiographs were analyzed.The angulation and the eruption space of mandibular M3 were measured.The root development stages of the mandibular M3 before treatment were evaluated.The factors affecting mandiular M3 angulation changes were analysed by covariance analysis.Results:The results of multi-factors analysis illustrated that the sagittal skeletal classifications,the root development stages of the pre-treatment mandibular M3,the pre-treatment mandibular M3 angulations,the width/space ratios before and after treatment affected the mandibular M3 angulation changes during the orthodontic treatment.Mandibular M3 showed more improvement in angulation in groups of Class I sagittal skeletal classification,the root development stages of the pre-treatment mandibular M3 where the root was fully formed but the foramen apices wasn't closed or the stages where the root less 1/3 was formed,the pre-treatment mandibular M3 angulations 60?,and the more M3 space before and after treatment,the more improvement in M3 angulation.Conclusion:In adult orthodontic patients,the mandibular M3 angulation changes during the treatment can be influenced by many factors,but orthodontic treatment is not the direct factor.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of mitral valve quantitative(MVQ)soft ware,select the significant parameters in diagnosing mitral valve prolapse and analysis the mechanism of mitral valve regurgitation by MVQ in clinical.Methods Live three dimensional transesophageal echocardiography was performed on thirty-one patients,in which 13 patients with mitral valve prolapse,another 18 patients with suspected intracardiac thrombosis without mitral valve regurgitation regarded as control group.The images were stored and processed with MVQ soft ware off line.Eighteen parameters of mitral valve structure were measured in mitral valve 3D mode.Results Comparing with the control group,the parameters of mitral valve annulus of mitral valve prolapse were larger significantly(P＜0.05).Seven parameters of mitral valve leaflets,θant,θpost,θNPA,Htent,Vtent,L2DALPm,θAv-Mv,had no significant difference between tWO groups(P＞0.05).L3Dant,L3Dpost,Hprol,Vprol,A3Dpost,A3Dant of mitral valve prolapse were larger than those of control group(P＜0.05).Conclusions MVQ can measure the parameters of mitral valve stereo structure quantitatively,result in more detailed diagnosis of mitral valve disease by echocardiography,provide more important information to surgeons,and help them to formulate detailed and complete operation scheme.

OBJECTIVEThis study aims to compare the treatment outcomes in patients with maxillary dentoalveolar protrusion by applying different anchorage methods via three-dimensional model measurement.

METHODSA total of 46 patients with maxillary dentoalveolar protrusion treated with bilateral maxillary first premolar extractions and high anchorage were selected. The subjects were randomly divided into three groups according to the type of anchorage applied, which included implant, extraoral, and Nance arch anchorages. The maxillary dental models were made before treatment and after space closure of maxilla. The movements of the maxillary central incisors and first molars were measured via a three-dimensional model measurement, and the amounts of movement were compared among the three groups.

RESULTSThe sagittal lingual movements of the maxillary central incisors were (-6.661 ± 1.328), (-5.939 ± 1.806), and (-5.788 ± 2.009) mm for the implant, extraoral, and Nance arch anchorage groups, respectively, with no significant difference among the three groups (P = 0.121). The corresponding vertical movements of the maxillary central incisors were (0.129 ± 1.815) mm intrusion, and (-2.162 ± 2.026), (-2.623 ± 1.776) mm extrusion. Significant difference was found between the implant anchorage group and the other groups (P < 0.05). The corresponding sagittal mesial movements of the maxillary first molars were (0.608 ± 1.045), (1.445 ± 1.462), and (1.503 ± 0.945) mm. The corresponding vertical movements of the maxillary first molars were (0.720 ± 0.805) mm intrusion, (0.076 ± 0.986) mm intrusion, and (-0.072 ± 0.690) mm extrusion. Significant difference was found between the implant anchorage group and the other two groups (P < 0.05). In the transverse direction, the first molars all moved lingually with no significant difference among the three groups (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONImplant anchorage may be superior in the vertical control of the maxillary incisors and in the sagittal, as well as in the vertical control of the maxillary molars, compared with the traditional anchorages during the treatment of patients with maxillary dentoalveolar protrusion.

Objective To analyze the value of the serum BHMT for diagnosis of hepatic injury in patients with acute poisoning.Methods ELISA method was used to detect BHMT in serum samples,and the samples were detected in the sera of normal persons and patients with acute poisoning.Results 300 samples were detected in the sera of normal persons by ELISA method.The average level of human serum B HMT content in 300 samples was 9.02 ng/mL(6.19-12.84 ng/mL),and the 95 ％ medical reference value of BHMT content in healthy people ranges from 0.00 to 28.01 ng/mL.BHMT and ALT were detected in 43 samples from acute liver injury,the Spearman analysis indicating a good positive correlation between BHMT and ALT(rs =0.757 62,P＜0.001).The comparison of the content of BHMT was made between the serum samples from 20 renal damage patient and 20 normal human serum,there was no significant difference in the BHMT content between the serum of patients with renal injury and the normal human serum(P＞0.05).Conclusion The medical reference value range for of serum BHMT content in healthy population ranges from 0.00 to 28.01 ng/mL.There was a good positive correlation between BHMT and ALT.BHMT might not be closely related to kidney injury,while be more specific to liver injure.BHMT could be a better marker of acute poisoning liver injury.

The RECK protein is highly expressed in normal cells and tissues,however,down-regulated in transformed cells or tumor tissues.Subsequent functional studies have demonstrated that RECK owns the tumor suppressor activity.Hence,it is urgent and important to unmask the mechanisms involved in regulation of RECK expression.Epigenetic regulation plays a vital role in modulating gene expression,besides,multiple research also suggested the involvement of epigenetic regulation in RECK expression.The epigenetic regulation mechanisms of controlling the gene expression currently known will be reviewed in this paper.
