Objective The study examined the influence on marginal bone levers at implants which implants were assigned to open healing and implant-abutment connection restored according to a platform-switching concept. Methods One implant were placed in the first molar of mandible of 48 patients , randomly assigned to open (OH) or submerge (SH) healing. Standardized radiographs were obtained after implant surgery, when implant transfer and crown mounting, and 6 ,12 and 24 months after implants restoration, then evaluated for implant-bone-lever alterations(ΔIBL). Results After 6 months after implants restoration,ΔIBL were (-0.25 ± 0.08)mm mm(OH)and (-0.26 ± 0.12)mm(SH). After 12 months follow-up, ΔIBL were (-0.29 ± 0.13)mm (OH)and (-0.31 ± 0.14) mm(SH), and after 24 months later, ΔIBLwere (-0.34 ± 0.15)mm(OH)and (-0.33 ± 0.11)mm (SH). Conclusions Platform-switched implants showed very limited peri-implant bone-lever alterations. The healing-mode neither affected the total amount nor the temporal patterns of ΔIBL.

Objective To explore the formation mechanism of peritumoral brain edema(PTBE)by vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF).Methods 40 biopsies were obtained from 37 patients.Inmunohistochemical staining and Western blot were performed to detect the expression of VEGF protein.Reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)was used to analyze the presence and quantity of VEGF mRNA.The extent of PTBE was estimated as an edema index(EI)based on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging.Results In VEGF-positive cases,a decreasing gradient of VEGF protein expression was observed with increasing distance from tumors(0.38±0.08,0.20±0.03,0.04±0.02).In meningiomas,the protein level and the mRNA level were congruent and the expression of both protein and mRNA had a significant correlation with EI(protein: r =0.892,RNA: r =0.875,P < 0.05).However,in peritumoral areas,protein level were not consistent with the mRNA level.Protein results showed high correlation with EI(r =0.912,P < 0.05),but mRNA almost was almost undetectable(0.06±0.02).Conclusion VEGF is impartant on PTBE.It is concluded that VEGF macromolecules are secreted by tumor tissue and enter peritumoral normal brain tissue to induce edemagenesis in meningiomas.

Objective To investigate the influence of the post stroke depression (PSD) on cognitive function in patients with stroke and their correlation, and to evaluate the diagnosis value of P300 cognitive function in patients with PSD. Methods One hundred and seventeen cases of inpatient with acute stroke in neurology medicine were continuously observed and scored using HAMD rating scale at the onset of 2 weeks. And 53 cases of PSD and 64 cases of non-post-stroke depression (NPSD) were scored using MMSE score and P300 determination respectively,and the results were compared. Results The incidence of PSD was 45.29%(53/117) at the 2 weeks after stroke,including 35 cases (29.91%) of mild depression,11 cases (9.40%) of medium degree depression and 7 cases (5.98%) of major depression. Compared with NPSD group, the P300 latency period of PSD group was significantly prolonged ( < 0.01), and the amplitude significantly reduced ( < 0.01) . The MMSE score difference was statistically significant ( <0.05) in the two groups. Conclusion The PSD is given priority to with mild-to-moderate depression, and the cognitive function damage in patients with PSD is more obvious than that in NPSD group. P300 determination can be used as the evaluation indicator of diagnosis cognitive function in patients with PSD.
