Objective: To study the periapical microleakage of the root canals filled with four kinds of sealers using two obturation techniques. Methods: Sixty-four extracted first maxillary premolars were randomly divided into four groups. All the root canals were prepared with Protaper rotary instruments and filled with two obturation techniques: warm vertical condensation and cold lateral condensation. Four kinds of sealers included: Cortisomol, nano-zinc oxide, Apexit and calcium hydroxide which were indivi-dually used for four groups. After the teeth were dyed for 7days with Indian ink, dyeing lines were measured with digital camera under steromicroscope to reflect the microleakage. Results: In cold lateral condensation groups, dyeing lines of calcium hydroxide group had an average length of (1.75?0.22) mm, which was significantly longer than that of Cortisomol group (1.40?0.15 mm) and nano-zinc oxide group [(1.56?0.25) mm, P0.05], which were significantly shorter than that of cold lateral condensation groups (P

Objective To compare enhancement features of hepatic tumors on SonoVue-enhanced real-time gray-scale ultrasonography and contrast-enhanced helical CT.Methods SonoVue-enhanced real-time gray-scale ultrasonography and contrast-enhanced helical CT were performed on 49 patients with 54 focal liver lesions,including 29 primary liver carcinomas,4 metastatic liver tumors,11 hepatic carvernous hemangiomas,7 focal nodular hyperplasias,2 focal fatty sparing,1 cirrhotic.Results Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography and helical CT showed consistent results in demonstrating hemodynamics of hepatic tumors.In the differentiating of malignant tumors and benign tumors,the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography were(90.9)%(30/33),(90.5)%(19/21) and(90.7)%((49/54)),respectively.Those of contrast-enhanced CT were(90.9)%(30/33),(95.2)%(20/21) and(92.6)%((50/54)),respectively.Conclusions Both of the two imaging methods are valuable for differential diagnosis of liver tumors.

Objective To observe the changes of platelet activation markers in newborn infants with hyperbilirubinemia,and its relationship with myocardial enzymes and clinical significance.Methods Thirty neonates with hyperbilirubinemia were selected as observation group,and 15 health newborns were served as normal control group.In the morning,1 mL fasting blood in the femoral vein was collected from the patients in both groups,and 20 g/L EDTA-Na2 0.1 mL anticoagulant was added with a gentle shake.CD41-FITC 10 ?L was injected into two test tubes,with IgG1-PE and CD62-PE reagent 10 ?L added,diluted liquid 200 ?L PBS,and with 5 ?L whole blood,under dark room temperature for 15 minutes.Negative control tubes(CD41-FITC plus IgG1-PE) were applied to adjust voltage,the flow cytometry was used to determine CD62-PE.Myocardial enzymes and liver function were measured by automatic biochemistry analyzer.Results The levels of platelet activation markers in observation group were significantly higher than that in the normal control group(P

Objective To investigate the guidance of a new classification on the treatment methods selection for cystic dilation of bile duct (CDBD).Methods The clinical data of 213 patients with CDBD who received treatment according to the Todani 2003 classification at the Peking Union medical College Hospital from September 1968 to July 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.The CDBD was reclassified with a new classification proposed by Dong Jiahong et al,and the guidance of the new classification on the treatment methods selection for CDBD was analyzed.Patients were followed up via out-patient examination and telephone interview till August 2013.Results Of the 213 patients,139 were with Todani type Ⅰ CDBD (type C CDBD of the new classification) ; 3 were with Todani type Ⅱ CDBD (type C1 CDBD of the new classification) ; 1 was with Todani type Ⅲ CDBD (type E CDBD of the new classification); 52 were with Todani type Ⅳa CDBD (35 with type D1 and 17 with type D2 CDBD of the new classification) ; 1 was with Todani type Ⅳb CDBD (type C CDBD of the new classification) ; 8 were with Todani typeⅤ-Ⅰ CDBD (type B CDBD of the new classification) ; 9 were with Todani type Ⅴ-Ⅱ CDBD (type A CDBD of the new classification).Eighteen patients did not receive the surgical treatment.Of the 195 patients who received surgical treatment,patients with type C and D CDBD of the new classification took a large proportion.Patients with type C CDBD of the new classification received cystectomy,biliary cyst resection,Rouxen-Y cholangiojejunostomy or internal drainage.Patients with type D CDBD of the new classification received extrahepatic biliary cyst resection,Roux-en-Y cholangiojejunostomy.Patients with severe intrahepatic disease and with type D1 CDBD of the new classification received concomitant left hemihepatectomy or pancreaticoduodenectomy.Patients with type A1 CDBD of the new classification received right hemihepatectomy.Patients with type A2 CDBD of the new classification were cured by conservative treatment after split liver transplantation.Patients with type B1 CDBD of the new classification received left hemihepatectomy and Roux-en-Y cholangiojejunostomy.Patients with type B2 CDBD of the new classification received bile duct stone extraction.There was 1 patient with type E CDBD,and partial resection of the CDBD ± bile duct reconstruction was carried out.Pancreatic fistula,biliary fistula,reflux cholangitis,cholangitis and anastomotic stricture were detected on 74 patients,and they were cured by conservative treatment or lithotomy.A total of 187 patients were followed up with the median time of 85 months (range,1-432 months).One hundred of seventy-five patients recovered well,and 12 patients with canceration of the bile duct died of tumor metastasis at postoperative 1-282 months.Conclusion This new classification simplifies the typing of extrahepatic bile duct dilation,refines the typing of intrahepatic bile duct dilation,and has better guidance for surgical treatment.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for simultaneous determination of valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide in Valsar-tan hydrochlorothiazide tablets. METHODS:UPLC was adopted. The determination was performed on Phenomenex C18 column with mobile phase consisted of [0.1% phosphoric acid solution-acetonitrile(95 : 5,V/V)]-[0.1% phosphoric acid solution-acetonitrile (5 : 95,V/V)](gradient elution)at the flow rate of 0.25 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 272 nm,and the column tem-perature was 35 ℃. The sample size was 1.5 μL. RESULTS:The linear range were 8.1-324.2 μg/mL for valsartan(r=0.9999)and 1.2-50.1 μg/mL for hydrochlorothiazide(r=0.9999). The limits of quantitation were 0.24,0.04 ng,and the limits of detection were 0.06,0.01 ng. RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were less than 2.0%;recoveries were 97.69%-100.35%for valsartan(RSD=1.03%,n=9)and 98.27%-100.60% for hydrochlorothiazide(RSD=0.83%,n=9). CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,rapid and accurate,and can be used for the simultaneous determination of valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide in Valsartan hydrochlorothiazide tablets.
