Objective:To investigate the relationship between the structure of TMJ and the craniofacial pattern,occlusion in ClassⅡ1mandibular retrusion children. Methods:TMJ MRI,lateral cephalometric were taken respectively from 30 ClassⅡ1 patients (14 boys and 16 girls,the average age was 10.8?1.1 years). The condyle position and disc position were measured. The correlation of condyle and disc position with craniofacial pattern and occlusion were analyzed metrically and compared with pearson test.Results:There were low positive correlation between MP-SN angle and anterial space. No correlation between posterior-anterior ratio and other data were found. The posterior facial height and Dp-Cc/Cs-Cc angle had low positive correlation. The anterior facial height and Dp-Cc/Cs-Cc、Ca-Ca'、Ca-Cp showed low negative correlation,and little correlation was found between condyle position and overbite and overjet. Overbite had no correlation with disc-condyle-fossa relationship. However,The positive correlation was found between the overjet. and Ca-Dm and Dp-Cc/Cs-Cc,and Pearson coefficient is 0.420 and 0.460.Conclusion:Vertical craniofacial patter has relation to forward displacement of condyle and backward displacement of disc. A deeper overjet is related with a higher risk of abnormal disc-condyle-fossa relationship.

Objective To investigate the impact of PET-CT on the target volume delineation and precise radiothera?py planning for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods PET-CT scanning was performed in 30 histologically proved NSCLC patients. The gross tumor volume (GTV) was delineated, and radiotherapy planning was es?tablished with identical parameters based on the CT image and PET-CT fused image, respectively. The differences of doses between GTV, planning target volume (PTV) and organsat rise (OAR) were compared. Results PET-CT image results changed the target volume delineation in 30 patients with 8 increased and 22 decreased. There were no differences in GTV and PTV between the VGTV and VPTV statistically, although PET-CT image changed conventional CT image size sketch of GTV and PTV. The V20 of total lung decreased in the PlanPET-CT compared with that of PlanCT (P<0.05), but no differences were found in the V30 of total lung, mean lung dose (MLD), the data of spinal cord, esophagus and heart. Conclusion PET-CT may reduce the radiation injuries in the lung and improve the target dose.

Objective To study the effect of overexpression of TRPC6 on Ang Ⅱ-induced apoptosis of mouse podocytes in vitro and to explore the possible mechanisms. Methods Mouse TRPC6 cDNA eukaryotie expression vector pEGFP-NI-mTRPC6 was transfected to conditionally immortalized routine podocyte cell line by liposome. The fluorescent microscopy was used to examine the expression of EGFP after 24 hours. The change of TRPC6 protein expression was observed by Western-blot. Podocytes were treated by different concentrations of Ang Ⅱ. The podocyte intracellular calcium concentration was measured with laser-scanning con_focal microscope. The expression of Bax and Bcl-2 mRNA was assessed by RT-PCR and the expression of Bax and Bcl-2 protein was measured by Western-blot. The apoptotic ratio of podocytes was monitored by flow cytometry and Hoechst staining. Results About 35% of the cells expressed EGFP. An up-regulation of protein expression of TRPC6 was detected in podocytes when transfected with pEGFP-N1-mTRPC6 (P<0.01). The overexpression of TRPC6 promoted the Ang Ⅱ-induced influx of extracellular calcium and elevated the expression of Bax but decreased the expression of Bcl-2 (P<0.01, P<0.05). The apoptotic ratio of podocyte was (2.50±0.72)% when treated by low-dose Ang Ⅱ (10-10 mol/L), and it was increased to (4.33±0.45)% when transfected with pEGFP-N1-mTRPC6 (P <0.05 ). Transfection with pEGFP-NI-mTRPC6 increased apoptosis rate from (15.46± 1.40)% to (18.33±0.87)%(P<0.01) by high-dose Ang Ⅱ (10-6 mol/L). Conclusion TRPC6 plays an important role in the Ang Ⅱ-induced apoptosis of podocytes by promoting the influx of extraeellular calcium, which leads to the apoptosis cascade initiation.
