Objective: To optimize matrix composition and technology for Jiefushuang Emulsion. Methods: Orthogonal design was used, oil phase, agitation velocity, emulsifiers and emulsify temperature were selected as variable factors. Results: The optimum matrix composition and technology were: The ratio of oil to water was 2∶3, emulsifiers: 320g(oil 500mL), HLB: 15, emulsity temperature: 70?C , agitation velocity: 800 revolutions per minute, lasting for 20 minutes. Conclusion: The emulsion prepared accords with the stipulation of the appendix of Chinese pharmacopoeia (2000).

Objective To analyse the stress distribution of distal-extension removable partial dentures supported by mini implants. Methods The finite element analysis models of conventional removable partial dentures ( CRPD) and mini implants supported removable partial dentures (ISRPD) were established by modular denture model. The stress distribution of abutments and supporting tissues was compared by finite element analysis software Abaqus 6.5.Results Under vertical loading, the stress of abutment teeth, mucosa of edentulous region and alveolar bone of ISRPD model was lower than that of CRPD model. Under oblique loading, the stress of each part of CRPD model and alveolar bone of ISRPD model significantly increased, while that of abutment teeth and parodontium of ISPRD model decreased. Conclusion The distal-extension removable partial dentures supported by mini implants work well in protecting the abutments and supporting tissues.

Objective To analyse the stress distribution of precision attachment dentures used in distal-extension edentulous cases. Methods The finite element models of conventional removable partial dentures and precision attachment dentures were established by modular denture model, and the models of precision attachment dentures were established with 4┬4 as one abutment or 43┬34 as two abutments. The stress distribution of abutments and supporting tissues was compared by finite element analysis software Abaqus 6.5.Results Under vertical loading or oblique loading, the stress of abutments and supporting tissues from attachment dentures with two abutments was significantly lower than that from attachment dentures with one abutment. The stress of conventional removable partial dentures significantly increased under oblique loading. Conclusion It is reasonable for the design of attachment dentures with two abutments for mandibular distal-extension edentulous cases.

Objective To establish three dimensional finite element model libraries of telescopic dentures and removable partial dentures by means of model libraries, and compare the characteristics of stress distribution among three prostheses. Methods Normal model libraries were imported and edited, and models of bilateral free-ended cases were established. Based on the model libraries of fixed partial dentures and removable partial dentures, the finite element models of telescopic dentures and removable partial dentures with medial or distal occlusal rest were established using softwares such as DELL Precision Graphics Workstation, UG 5.0, HyperMesh 7.0 and Abaqus 6.5, then finite element stress analysis was performed. Results The stress distribution on abutment root, parodontium, alveolar mucosa and alveolar bone was uniform. The maximum value of stress on the abutment root (6.205 Mpa) was much less than those of two removable partial dentures (18.41 Mpa and 34.49 Mpa). Conclusion For bilateral free-ended cases, the telescopic denture design is uniform in stress distribution with less stress on abutment root, which is healthy to the abutment root and surrounding tissues.

Objective To redevelop the finite element model libraries and to analyse the stress distribution of telescopic crown dentures. Methods The finite element model libraries were redeveloped based on the model libraries of normal dentition, fixed partial denture and removable partial denture. With the help of softwares such as DELL Precision Graphics Workstation, UG 5.0, HyperMesh 7.0 and Abaqus 6.5, the telescopic denture models on the bilateral free-ended case were imported and edited, then the finite element stress analysis was performed. Results The models were easily established. The maximum value of stress and its distribution on abutment root, periodontal membrane, alveolar mucosa, alveolar bone and dental prostheses were observed and studied by the finite element stress analysis. Conclusion The way to establish models of telescopic crown dentures by model libraries is feasible and reliable.

Objective To detect the expression of STAT3 in breast cancer and adjacent paracancerous tissues ,then analyze the correlationship between its expression level and some other clinical features of breast cancer,and to evaluate its significance in prognosis of patients with breast cancer. Methods 130 breast cancer patients were enrolled in the Jiangmen Central Hospital ,and 61 cases of adjacent normal tissues. The expression of STAT3 was detected by IHC. We compared the expression of STAT3 between the two groups and analyzed the relationship between STAT3 and other clinical features. Results The expression of STAT3 in breast cancer group was much higher than the adjacent paracancerous tissues. STAT3 expression showed obvious correlationship with clinical stage ,tumor size ,lymph node metastasis ,the expression of ER and PR ,but no statistical correla-tion with age ,histological grade and Her-2 expression. Survival analysis showed that patients with high STAT3 expression level had a significantly poor prognosis. The Cox regression analysis showed that PR and STAT3 expres-sion were independent prognostic factors for patients with breast cancer. Conclusion These results may implicate that STAT3 will promote the development of breast cancer and higher expression of STAT3 indicates the poor survival rate.

Objective To compare the safety and efficacy of intravenous thrombolysis for patients with acute cerebral infarction in a second-grand class-A hospital and a third-grand class-A hospital. Methods Twenty-one consecutive patients with cerebral infarction treated with alteplase for intravenous thrombolysis were enrolled in a second-grand class-A hospital (Fengtai Hospital,Beijing)prospectively from January 2012 to December 2013 as the study group,and 65 patients in a third-grand class-A teaching hospital (Xuanwu Hospital,Capital Medical University,Beijing)admitted at the same period for intravenous thrombolysis were used as a control group. The differences of efficacy and safety of intravenous thrombolysis in patients of both groups were compared. The primary outcome measures were Barthel Index (BI)at day14 after onset and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS)scores at discharge. The main safety indicator was the incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs)after thrombolysis (symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and death). Results (1 )In the primary outcome measures,the proportions of mRS≤2 at discharge in the study group and the control group were 71. 4%(n=15)and 58. 5%(n=38)respectively. At day 14 after thrombolysis,the proportions of BI ≥60 were 61. 9%(n=13)and 64. 6%(n=42)respectively. There were no significant differences between the two groups (P>0. 05). (2)The incidences of the primary serious adverse events were 4. 8%(n=1)and 6. 2%(n=4). There was no significant difference (P>0. 05). Other secondary outcome measures,such as the early reperfusion rate,recanalization rate,and the proportion of neurological improvement at day 14 after thrombolysis and the overall incidence of cerebral hemorrhage had no significant differences. The case referral proportion (9. 5%,n=2)of the study group had a trend of lowering than the control group (27. 7%,n=18)P=0. 09. (3)The out-hospital time delay, in-hospital time delay,and overall time delay of the study group were less than those of the control group, and the mean time was 75 ± 33 vs. 102 ± 50 min,and 72 ± 41 vs. 111 ± 38 min,147 ± 41 vs. 212 ± 47 min. There were significant differences (P<0. 01). Conclusion The second-grand hospital selected by our study can relatively safely and effectively perform intravenous thrombolysis for acute cerebral infarction with alteplase. Moreover,the intravenous thrombolysis of the second-grand hospitals may reduce the case referral ratio and visiting time.
