Objective: To compare and analyze the maxillary lingual arch forms of ClassⅠmalocclusions after extraction and non-extraction treatment respectively. Methods: 60(30 with extraction, 30 non-extraction)maxillary dental models of ClassⅠmalocclusions after orthodontic treatment were measured in lingual arch widths and depths. The data were analyzed by statistical methods and the charts of lingual arch forms were drawn. Results: The lingual arch widths and depths in anterior segments of the extraction group were significantly larger than those of the non-extraction group(P0.05). The lingual arch forms of the two groups were similar in anterior segments, and more different in premolar and first molar segments, but similar from the distal lingual cusp of the first molars. Conclusion: The lingual arch forms of the two groups are similar in appearances, but the anterior segments of the extraction group are deeper than that of the non-extraction group.

Objective: To investigate the effects and mechanism of microscrew implant anchorage (MIA) in speeding up the closure of extraction space by one step and retraction of anterior teeth. Methods: Twenty-three patients with teeth extraction and required strong posterior anchorage were treated with MIA to close the extraction space. The extraction spaces were closed by two methods respectively. The extraction spaces were closed by the method of one step and retraction of anterior teeth(Ni-Ti spring from MIA to the hook on the wire combined with the elastic pull from MIA to cuspid) on the experiment sides and by the traditional one step method(Ni-Ti spring from MIA to the hook on the wire alone) on the control sides. Which side treated as trial side or control side was selected at random. The period of the space closing, the way and position of anterior teeth movement were observed on each side and the period of the space closing of two sides were tested by paired t test. Results: ①The average period of the spaces closing which was (6.69±1.07) months on the trial side and (9.56±1.19) months on the control side was significantly different (P<0.05).② After the closure of extraction spaces, the cuspid achived better position on the trial side than the contral side on which cuspid presented distal-lingual rotation. Conclusion: The extraction spaces can be closed in all cases by two methods respectively. Using MIA to close the extraction space by one step and retraction of anterior teeth can not only shorten the period of space closing but also achieve nice outcome by moving the cuspid in spongy bone.

9 adults aged 23 to 43 years old were treated with bidimensional self-ligating lingual bracket technique for upper teeth and labial ceramic or aesthetic bracket for lower teeth.After treatment the labioclination of anterior teeth in Angle's II patients decreased from 28.12°± 10.05°to 19.25°±3.12°(P <0.05),in Angle's III patients from 32.14°±4.71°to 28.15°±3.26(P <0.05).

Objective:To analyze the characteristics and differences of upper airway forms in the adults with class Ⅱ sagittal facial type of different vertical facial types and investigate the correlation between craniofacial structures and upper airway forms.Methods:Cephalograms of 135 adults with classⅡsagittal facial type of different vertical facial types were collected.60 cases were males and 75 cases were females.All the cephalograms were measured in sagittal upper airway depths.The differences were compared between genders,and also among different vertical facial type groups.Results:Among different vertical facial type groups,only the sagittal depths of nasopharynx(PNS-Ba、PNS-R)of the males and PNS-Ba of the females in high angle groups were smaller than that in average and low angle groups(P0.05),but the values of V-LPW of the males were larger than that of the famales in all vertical facial type groups(P

Objective To study the morphologic and structural changes of the pelvic floor and corresponding visceras in patients with outlet obstructive constipation (OOC). Methods We used simultaneous pelvicography and colpocystodefecography (PCCD), including pelvicography, vaginal opacification, voiding cystography and defecography in 38 patients with OCC and 12 healthy volunteers. Anorectal angle, the level of perineum, and bladder were measured. Results Internal rectal prolapse (IRP) in 37 cases, rectocele (RC) in 5 cases and spastic pelvic floor syndrome (SPFS) in 5 cases were diagnosed by PCCD. While common physical examination alone detected only 12 cases, 4 RC cases and one SPFS case, which were confirmed by PCCD. Moreover, PCCD found 9 cases of pelvic floor hernia or peritoneoceles, 6 cases of cystoceles, 3 cases of descending perineum syndromes, and 10 cases of uterine prolapses. Compared with controls, OOC patients had a larger anorectal angle during defecation, abnormal descending of perineum at rest and defecation, and a deep pouch of Douglas during defecation. Some patients with urinary system symptoms have an abnormal descent of bladder during rest and defecation. Conclusion PCCD has a higher detection rate than common physical examination in diagnosing IRP and RC, and provides information for diagnosis of pelvic floor hernia or peritoneocele, cystocele or uterine prolapse. PCCD helps in the selection of a proper surgical procedure for OOC patients.

Objective To investigate the sniff nasal inspiratory pressure (SNIP) of Chinese boys. Methods 299 healthy boys aged 5-12 years were measured with SNIP. Their height, weight, and age were recorded. Results The SNIP averaged (76.9±22.6) cmH2O, and was (59.1±14.2) cmH2O, (76.9±19.5) cmH2O, (85.3±23.5) cmH2O and (83.0±22.6) cmH2O in the boys of 5-6 years old, 7-8 years old, 9-10 years old and 11-12 years old, respectively. It was significantly different among boys of 5-6 years old, 7-8 years old and 9-10 years old (P<0.05), but no significant difference between 9-10 years old and 11-12 years old (P=0.55). Regression analysis indicated significant relations of SNIP with age, height, weight and Body Mass Index (P<0.01). Conclusion The SNIP of Chinese healthy boys are different from abroad. It is necessary to establish the Chinese children SNIP reference range.

Objective To observe the learning and memory function of rats after heat stroke. Methods 60 Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly into heat stroke group (n=44), sham group (n=8) and control group (n=8). They were tested with the Morris Water Maze 7 days after modeling. The escaping latency was recorded in the first 5 days, and it was recorded with frequency crossing the platform area and the duration in the target quadrant after ridding the platform on the 6th day. Results 16 rats died in the heat stroke group after modeling. The escaping latency increased (P<0.05), and the cumulative duration in the target quadrant and the frequency of crossing the previous platform decreased (P<0.05) in the heat stroke group compared with the other groups. Conclusion The learning and memory ability is impaired after heat stroke in rats.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical features and nursing care of neuralgic amyotrophy.MethodsThe course of the treatment and nursing in a group of patients with idiopathic neuralgic amyotrophy was analyzed retrospectively.ResultsMyoatrophy was found in all patients, while 42% of patients were involved in both sides. Serious pain, as initial symptom, was found in 92% of patients. After medical and physical treatment, as well as holistic nursing care, the pain disappeared in 1～2 weeks in all patients but one. All patients had been followed up for 2～13 months, muscle power was recovered in 67% of all patients, partially recovered in 33% of patients.ConclusionThe careful nursing and observation is very helpful for recover of neuralgic amyotrophy and can decrease complications.

Objective To optimize the pre-treatment method before detecting Helicobacter pylori ( H.pylori ) by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization/time-of-flight mass spectrometry ( MALDI-TOF MS) and evaluate the ability of the Superspectra by MALDI-TOF MS for identifying clinical isolated H.pylori strains.Methods H.pylori were isolated from 469 biopsy samples of gastric mucosa collected from January 2015 to July 2016 in Huadong Hospital affiliated to Fudan University , 16 s rRNA sequencing were then performed to validate the strains.Then 91 isolated H.pylori strains were used for the subsequent MALDI-TOF analysis.The effect of pre-treatment of 50%isopropanol, formic acid and acetonitrile (1∶1), 70%formic acid were compared before H.pylori detecting by MALDI-TOF MS.40 out of 91 clinical H.pylori strains were detected by MALDI-TOF MS and the spectra were randomly assigned to 4 groups including 5, 10, 20, 30 spectra, each group had 3 repeats.Then 4 groups with different amount of spectra were used for creating Superspectra with SARAMIS Premium software , respectively.The remaining 51 H.pylori strains including 306 spectra were used for validating the identification rate of the Superspectra.Results With the use of 70%formic acid, the greater number of ion signals and higher relative intensity of the main peaks were observed than other pre-treatment reagents.The identification rate of Superspectra created by 30 strains group was the highest ( 90.2%).Among the 306 spectra, 46.1% of them achieved highly reliable identification , 22.2% achieved lower degree of reliable identification , and 31.7% of them achieved “no identification”.Conclusions The study optimized the pre-treatment method before H.pylori detecting by MALDI-TOF MS.The Superspectra was created with the good ability to rapidly identify clinical isolated H.pylori strains.

Objective To evaluate operative effect on internal rectal prolapse. Methods Sixty-two patients with internal rectal prolapse who underwent operation were studied by retrospectively analyzing the treatment and followed up results. Results The total success rate of surgical treatment for internal rectal prolapse is 73%. The rate of symptoms improvement as difficulty in defecation,anal aboating, incomplete defecation,asistation with fingers,and defecating dependent on laxatives were 77%,80%,71%,86%,97% respectively. Conclusion the operative indications of internal rectal prolapse should be strictly controlled. Only those who received standard conservative treatment and failed to improve should be a candidate for surgery.
