Journal of Practical Stomatology 1995;0(04):-
Objective:To investigate the effects of oxidation of titanium on bonding strength of titanium and porcelain. Methods: 24 specimens with a size of 28 mm ?3 mm?0.5 mm were cast from pure titanium and divided into 4 groups, 6 specimens each group. Group 2, 3 and 4 were degassed at 750, 800 and 900 ℃ respectively, group 1 not degassed as negative control, then a uniform thickness of 1mm of Noritake super porcelain Ti-22 was veneered on 8 mm?3 mm in the central portion of each specimen. The specimens were subjected to a three-point bending test on a load-test machine with a span of 20 mm, and the failure loads were recorded and analyzed statistically. The opposite side of specimens of each group were observed by thin-film X-ray diffraction. Results: The failure loads (N) of group 1, 2, 3 and 4 were 10.33, 9.98, 5.53, 3.37. The oxide of group 1 was Ti6O only, the oxide of the gropu 2, 3, and 4 were Ti6O and TiO2 and the amount of TiO2 increased significantly as the temperature iss increasing. Conclusion: The oxide adherence strength value for pure titanium decreased while the oxide temperature is increasing. The higher of the degassed temperature of the specimens, the more TiO2 can be found in the oxide film and the smaller the failure load is, which indicats that oxidation of titanium has a negative effect on the bonding strength of porcelain and titanium.

Objective: To investigate the association between the CYP3A5 genetic polymorphism and the serum
concentrations of carbamazepine (CBZ), to provide guidance for individualized drug dosing. Methods:
Eighty-four epilepsy patients taking CBZ were included in this study. Their clinical data were
recorded and CBZ serum concentrations were measured. The CYP3A5 6986 genetic polymorphism
was assessed using a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCRRFLP)
assay. Patients were divided according to genotype into CYP3A5 expressor (CYP3A5*1/*1
genotype and CYP3A5*1/*3 genotypes) and non-expressor groups (CYP3A5*3/*3). The two groups
were compared for the total dose of CBZ, dose of CBZ/kg body weight, serum drug concentration,
dose-corrected serum concentration, and standardized serum concentration. Results: The total dose
of CBZ and the dose of CBZ/kg body weight was higher in the CYP3A5 expressor group than the
non-expressor (P = 0.043 and P = 0.014, respectively). The dose-corrected and standardized serum
concentrations were lower in the CYP3A5 expressor group than the non-expressor (P = 0.001 and
P < 0.001, respectively). There was however, no signifi cant difference in serum drug concentration
between the two groups (P = 0.487).
Conclusions: There was a close relationship between CYP3A5 genetic polymorphism and the serum
concentrations of carbamazepine.
