Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of Tacrolimus(FK506)and Neoral CsA in conjunction with MMF(2.0g/d)and steroid in preventing renal allograft rejection.Methods 98 cases of renal transplant recipients were randomly divided into two groups:FK506 group(n=40),receiving tacrollimus,MMF and prednison(Pred);CsA group(n=58),receiving CsA,MMFand Pred.Results The mean follow-up time in both two groups Was 12.5 months.Acute transplanted renal rejection occurred in 2 cases in FK506 group and 9 cases in CsA group respectively.The one-year person/kidney survival rate was 100%/100%in FK506 group and 100%/94.8%in CsA group respectively.The dosage of Pred in FK506 group was lower than in CsA group.12 cases in FK506 group had stopped using Pred.Hypergly cermia occurred in 7 cases in FK-506 group.Polytricosis,gingival hyperplasia and liver function disorder dominantly occurred in CsA group.Infection Was found in 9 cases of FK506 group and 11 cases of CsA group respectively.Conclusion FK506 combined with MMF could decrease the occurrence of acute trans planted renal rejection and the dosage of Pred.The good adjustment of the dose of FK506 iS helpful for re ducing the side effects and preventing rejection.

Objective:To improve stress analysis in stress-intensive regions of human periodontal tissue. Methods:Based on coarse analysis on the finite element(FE) model including human teeth and periodontal tissue, the submodel method was introduced to analyze the stresses in interested region such as apical. Results:Submodel analysis showed same stress distribution as FE model while more precision of stress value was obtained by submodel because refined mesh was used.Conclusion:More accurate stresses measurements in local regions can be obtained by submodel method.

Objective: To evaluate the result of distraction osteogenesis in patients with pretnaxillary deficiency using a self-made tooth-borne distraction device. Methods: A self-made tooth-bome distraction device was used for advancement of the maxillary anterior segment in 28 patients. Results; 26 cases were corrected satisfactorily and have no any complications. In 2 cases the distraction device did not work during distraction. Conclusion: This device can improve the soft tissue profile and correct the space deficiency of the maxilla.

Purpose:To determine the efficacy of paclitaxel in human bladder cancer lines and to investigate the mechanism by which paclita xel induce apoptosis in human bladder cancer cells. Methods:BIU-87, 5637, T24 and EJ bladder cancer cell lines wer e cultured by techniques of cell culture in vitro. The cytotoxic activity an d apoptosis induction abilities of paclitaxel were analyzed by MTT and Annexin- V assay as well as DNA cytometry , respectively. The effects on the cell cycle w ere assessed by flow cytometry of propidium iodide. The expressions of Bcl-2, B ax, p53 and Caspase3 proteins were determined by flow cytometry immunofluorescen ce. Results:Paclitaxel dose-dependent inhibition of cell prolifera tion was seen.Paclitaxel induced G_2/M arrest (71.29% and 64.57%) which was maximal in 5637 and EJ cell lines. While paclitaxel at 1?g/ml concentration ex posure to 5637 12h, 14h and 48h respectively, the apoptosis rates of the respect ive times were 5.0%, 12.9%, 27.6%. The expression of genes p53 and Bcl-2 was no t influenced, whereas the expression of Bax and Caspase3 had increases time-dep endently after exposure to paclitaxel. The analysis of Annexin-V showed a drama tic dose-dependent increase of apoptosis. Conclusions:Paclitaxel inhibited bladder cancer cells prolifera tion and had more effect on those cells whose grade was lower and doubling time was longer. Paclitaxel could block G_2/M arrest, and induce apoptosis by th e path of Bcl-2/Bax in bladder cancer cell lines.

21 mmHg.The side effects,IOP and application of anti-glaucoma drugs were examined 1 h,1 d,1 week,1 month,3 months and 6 months after SLT. Results The IOP was significantly decreased 1 week,1 month,3 months and 6 months after SLT compared with that before treatment(P21 mmHg using two anti-glaucoma drugs,respectively. Conclusion SLT is a safe and effective method for IOP control in early CPACG after treatment with laser peripheral iridoplasty and laser iridectomy.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects of needling revision with mitomycin C(MMC) subconjuctival injection on early failed filtering blebs after trabeculectomy for glaucoma. Methods Needling revision with MMC 0.2 mL(0.04 mg) subconjuctival injection was performed on 86 eyes of 76 patients with failed filtering blebs 2 to 6 weeks after trabeculectomy for glaucoma.An average of 1.88 times of treatment was performed.The intraocular pressure(IOP),blebs and side effects were observed,and follow-up was conducted for 6 months. Results Two to six weeks after trabeculectomy,there were 50 eyes with thickened and focalized blebs,32 eyes with encapsulated blebs and 4 eyes with no bleb.Six months after needling revision with MMC subconjuctival injection,blebs of 61 eyes turned into functional ones.The blebs were thinned and multicysted in 24 eyes,diffused and elevated in 37 eyes,thickened and focalized in 6 eyes,encapsulated in 13 eyes and disappeared in 6 eyes.Three months after treatment,the mean IOP was(15.2?6.1) mmHg,and there were 57 eyes with IOP
