Objective To study mental characteristics of children with light lead poisoning. Methods Eighty - six children with light lead poisioning and 33 control children were evaluated with WISC - R and social adaptive capacity(SAB). Results 1. Intelligence quotient( IQ)and SAB of children with light lead poisoning were lower than normal children. 2. There was also deficiency of perception factor and memory/ concentration factor among children with lead poisioning and the blood lead level had negative association with perception factor. Conclusion Light lead poisioning may affect children's IQ, especially in the perception factor and memory /concentration factor.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of premolar extractions on third molar angulation changes in orthodontic patients. METHODS: The Cochrane library, PubMed, Embase, China Science and Technology Periodical Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM) and Wanfang database were searched from January 1, 1990 to May 20, 2014 to identify all the studies about third molar angulation changes in orthodontic patients with or without premolars extraction, which was assigned as a extraction group and a control group. Th e extraction group was further divided into a fi rst premolar extraction subgroup and a second premolar extraction subgroup. Literature filtering, data extraction and methodological quality evaluation were finished independently by two researchers. After cross checking, the disagreements were solved by discussion. Meta-analysis was carried out by RevMan 5.3.3 software. RESULTS: Ten studies involving 712 patients were included. Meta-analysis revealed that: compared with the control group, the changes of third molar angulation in maxillary and mandible in the extraction group were statistically significantly different (all P<0.05); the difference in angulation between the two groups was about 5.19° in maxillary and 3.55° in mandibul. As for the premolar extraction subgroups, there was no significant difference in mandibular third molar angulation between them (P>0.05). CONCLUSION The orthodontic treatment involving first or second premolar extractions can improve the maxillary third molar angulation, and the second premolar extraction is the best option.

Objective To analyze the difference among the 3 guidehnes used to make surgical decision for branch duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (BD-IPMN),then the guidelines were combined with neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) respectively for further analysis.Methods Clinical data of 51 appropriate BD-IPMN patients who underwent surgical resection from January 2008 to December 2015 was retrospectively analyzed.Results The significant difference was exist in the consensus for followup criterion (P ＜ 0.05).The preoperative NLR and PLR were helpful for the differential diagnosis between malignant and benign BD-IPMN,because the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) of NLR and PLR for prediction were 0.686 and 0.692,and the best boundary values were 2.64,92.56 respectively.The consensus combined with PLR could improve the specificity and positive predictive value (PPV),besides,the specificity and PPV could achieve 70.3％,54.2％ respectively while the sensitivity (92.9％) still remained at an ideal level after international consensus guideline combined with PLR.Conclusions NLR ≥ 2.64 and PLR ≥ 92.56 were predictive markers for the presence of BD-IPMN associated invasive tumor.The addition of PLR as a criterion to the international consensus guideline improved the accuracy of international consensus guidelines in estimating invasive BD-IPMN.

Objective Based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method, the air and aerosol transport in a single alveolus were simulated to study the characteristics of airflow and aerosol transport in deep alveolus. Methods A long straight duct with a hemispherical wall at one end which had periodic expansion/contraction were regarded as simplified approximation of a single alveolus. Based on this, a two-dimensional (2D) mathematical model was established.The Euler-Euler method was used to solve the transport equations of airflow and aerosol particles in the alveolus considering air diffusion along the hemisphere boundary. Results The composition ratio of the air in the duct changed in a stable periodic way during the whole breathing process.The aerosol transport in the duct mainly depended on the particle diffusion coefficient. The advection transport had only a small effect on it. The diffusion velocity and depth of aerosol increased when the particle size decreased, especially when the particle size was smaller than 4 μm. The increase of respiratory frequency and amplitude could significantly improved the transport capacity of aerosol particles. Conclusions In atomization treatment, aerosol particles with smaller particle size have better transportation and curative efficacy. Deep breathing should be encouraged to improve particle transport.

BACKGROUNDOff-label application of drug-eluting stents (DES) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was not uncommon in daily practice, however DES in treating Chinese patients with complex lesion subset was under-investigated. The primary objective of the FIREMAN registry was to evaluate the long term efficacy and safety of the Firebird sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) in treating patients with complex coronary lesions. Here we report the mid-term of one-year clinical outcomes and eight-month angiographic follow-up results of FIREMAN registry.

METHODSThe FIREMAN registry was a prospective multi-center registry, which included 1029 consecutive patients undergoing PCI with Firebird SES implantation between September 2006 and July 2007 in 45 centers in China. The clinical follow-up was designed to be performed at 1, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36 months post index procedure, and non-mandatory angiographic follow-up at 8 months was planned. One hundred percent site monitoring was conducted.

RESULTSLong lesions (59.2%), multi-vessel disease (50.4%), and small vessel disease (31.6%) were mostly found in angiography. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) occurred in 51 (5.1%) patients at 1 year clinical follow-up, including cardiac mortality in 6 (0.6%), non-fatal myocardial infarction in 11 (1.1%), and target lesion revascularization in 36 (3.5%) of the patients. Definite and probable stent thrombosis (ST) by Academic Research Consortium (ARC) definition occurred in 12 (1.36%) patients at one-year clinical follow-up. The 8-month binary restenosis rate was 5.7% in-segment and 4.3% in-stent, respectively. Late lumen loss was (0.21 ± 0.40) mm in-segment and (0.23 ± 0.36) mm in-stent, respectively. Furthermore, Cox regression analysis revealed that diabetes, small vessel diameter, and chronic total occlusion were independent predictors of ST.

CONCLUSIONSThe results showed that the Firebird SES was effective and safe in treating Chinese patients with complex coronary lesions and occurrence of ST rate at one-year clinical follow-up was acceptable, however further long-term follow-up was still necessary. (NCT00552656)

OBJECTIVE：To establish a method for the content determination of to tal flavonoids from Amomum tsao-ko ，and to optimize the purification technology by macroporous resin. METHODS ：The content of total flavonoids was measured by HPLC. The determination was performed on Eclipse Plus C 18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile- 1％ acetic acid solution （15∶85，V/V）at the flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. The column temperature was 40 ℃，and the detection wavelength was set at 256 nm. The sample size was 10 μL. Taking the adsorption and desorption performance as indexes，6 kinds of macroporous resins were screened out by static adsorption and desorption tests ；adsorption and desorption time were investigated by static adsorption and desorption kinetics tests. Using the content of total flavonoids （calculated by rutin ）as index ，with sample concentration ，sample pH，ethanol volume fraction and elution amount as factors ，based on single factor test ，orthogonal design was used to optimize the purification technology of total flavonoids from A. tsao-ko ，and validation test was performed. RESULTS ：The linear range of rutin were 0.028-0.281 mg/mL（r＝0.999 9）. The limit of quantification was 437.5 ng/mL and the limit of detection was 109.4 ng/mL. RSDs of precision ，stability and reproducibility tests were all lower than 2％；the recoveries were 96.24％-99.75％（RSD＜2％，n＝ 6）. The comprehensive capacity of adsorption and desorption of HPD 450 macroporous resin was the most suitable ，and the best static adsorption and desorption time both were 12 h. The optimal purification technology was 1.854 4 mg/mL ； ethanol elution was 8 times of the column volume. Vertificationtests show that after optimized ，the content of total flavonoids from A. tsao-ko increased from 22.556 7 mg/g to 57.728 2 mg/g. The purity of was 2.56 and stable for the content determination. Optimal purification technology is stable and feasible ，which is suitable for purifieation of total flavonoids from A. tsao-ko .
