BACKGROUND:Based on variational principle and weighting technology of three-dimensional finite element method, human teeth with a complex morphology can be modeled, which helps to understand the stress distribution of dental hard tissue and prosthesis during the dynamic repair process. OBJECTIVE:To comprehensively analyze the three-dimensional finite element studies concerning biomechanics of dental prostheses, focusing on the effects of metal crown, porcelain thickness, root canal preparation and fil ing on the tooth stress. METHODS:A computer-based search of PubMed (1993-04/2012-09), China Academic Journal Network Publishing Database (2001-2008), and VIP (2001-2008) was performed by the first author to retrieve articles concerning the effects of metal crown, porcelain thickness, root canal preparation and fil ing on the tooth stress. The keywords were“porcelain-fused-to-metal, finite element method, stress analysis, root canal”in English and Chinese. Articles with repetitive contents or meta-analysis were ruled out. Then 40 articles were suitable for further analysis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Finite element method has important significance to establish high-fidelity and high-accuracy models in oral medicine, thereby providing effective biomechanical information for the root canal treatment and post-treatment repair. Scholars continue to explore the stress distribution of dental prostheses during chewing. This review summarizes the stress changes of post and core crowns, supporting reference for further research. Three-dimensional finite element method can be used to build nonlinear three-dimensional finite element models with anisotropic biomechanical characteristics, and can gradual yimprove the transition from static analysis to a dynamic analysis, truly achieving accurate simulation of oral biology and dental morphology as wel as chewing function of the teeth.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of fluoxetine (FLX) on the expressions of BDNF and Bcl-2 in the hippocampus, the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex of conditioned fear (CF) model mice. Forty eight mice were randomly divided into three groups, normal control group, CF stress group and FLX-pretreated CF group. The FLX-pretreated CF group was given FLX (10 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1)) for 7 days before CF stress. After CF stress model was established, all mice were given behavioral experiments to test whether FLX impaired or improved the auditory and contextual fear conditioning. Then mice were sacrificed. The expressions of BDNF and Bcl-2 were detected by Western blotting. The results showed that the freezing time of FLX-pretreated CF group was significantly lower than that of CF group; FLX pretreatment up-regulated the expression of Bcl-2 in the hippocampus at 1 d after CF stress (P < 0.001), but no significant differences was observed at 7 d; BDNF significantly increased in the hippocampus at 7 d (P < 0.001), but no differences at 1 d; the expressions of BDNF and Bcl-2 in the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex were of no obvious differences between CF group and FLX-pretreated CF group at 1 d or 7 d after CF stress. Parallel to these changes, pretreatment with FLX could affect histopathologic changes induced by CF stress. Furthermore, the results indicated that FLX pretreatment could protect against CF stress-induced neurological damage via the activation of BDNF and Bcl-2 in hippocampus.

Pancreatic cancer with liver metastases (PCLM) is a refractory malignant tumor characterized by insidious onset, rap-id progress, and poor prognosis. Only a few patients had the opportunity of receiving surgical treatment. PCLM is primarily treated by systemic chemotherapy. The chemotherapeutic regimen of 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, and leucovorin has become the first-line therapy for PCLM patients with good performance status. Gemcitabine-based chemotherapy is still very important in treating PCLM. Nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine, which has been found to increase survival, is recommended as a new standard for treating PCLM patients. However, still no breakthrough has been established in the study of gemcitabine plus molecular-targeted therapy. Sys-temic chemotherapy combined with trans-catheter arterial chemoembolization is valuable and may be effectual in prolonging survival. Further investigation of prospective and randomized controlled clinical trials is necessary. Radio frequency ablation and brachy-thera-peutic embolization with yttrium-90 microspheres are still in the exploratory stage. Multimodality treatment of PCLM using chemother-apy, radiation therapy, and Chinese herbal medicine is gaining wide acceptance. This article reviews the recent progress in the treatment of PCLM.

Objective To evaluate accuracy of preoperative tumor grade and intracperative gross examination of myometrial invasion in patients with clinical stage Ⅰ endometriod adenocarcinoma for lymphadenectomy. Methods Clinic-pathological data were retrospectively collected from 687 patients with clinical stage Ⅰ endometriod adenocarcinoma who underwent operation in Women's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 1999 to December 2008. According to postoperative histology diagnosis, accuracy of preoperative tumor grade by curettage and depth of myometrial invasion by intraoperative gross examination was evaluated, and clinic-pathological factors associated with accuracy were analyzed. Results Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, false negative rate, false positive rate, and positive and negative predictive value for the prediction of needing for intraoperative lymphadenectomy in patients with clinical stage Ⅰ endometriod adenocarcinoma were 70. 4% ,80. 2% ,77.6% ,12.0%, 43.0%, 57.0% and 88.0%, respectively. Analysis of mutil-factors shown that patient age, tumor size, lymph node metastasis and extrauterine spread lesions were independent factors affected the accuracy of prediction(P < 0. 05 ). Conclusion Prediction of needing for lymphadenectomy by preoperative tumor grade and intraoperative gross examination of myometrial invasion is reliable in clinical stage Ⅰ endometriod adenocarcinoma patients, while there is a highly false negative rate in prediction of not needing for lymphadenectomy, while other prognostic factors such as patient age, tumor size, lymph node metastasis and extrauterine spread lesion should be together considered.
