Objective To evaluate the functional and aesthetic disturbance of patients treated with lingual orthodontic surgery and to investigate the key points of laboratory procedure and clinical treatment of lingual orthodontic deformity. Methods A total of 30 cases of Angle class Ⅰ with moder-ate crowding were selected. They were equally divided into two groups: one group was treated using lingual brackets, and the other using conventional labial brackets. Each patient completed a four-part survey right after the bracket placing and 7, 28, 56 days after the treatment. The differences of tongue-lip-cheek soreness, eating and speech difficulties and aesthetic problems were evaluated be-tween two groups. Lateral cephalograms were analyzed at the start of the treatment and the end of the overall treatment. Results Speech difficulties of lingual orthodontics were significantly greater (P<0.01) than that in the labial orthodontics group in the first week of the treatment. Eating difficulties were greater (P<0.01) in the lingual orthodontics group by 28 days, whereas aesthetic problems were greater in group using labial appliance than group lingual appliance. Conclusions In the first two months of the orthodontic treatment, eating and speech difficulties are the most severe problems for the lingual group. Lingual orthodontics offers important aesthetic advantages over labial orthodontics, and it will be one of the development directions of current orthodontics.

Objective:
To establish a microwave digestion-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry assay for simultaneous determination of multiple elements in placenta.
Methods:
Fresh placental tissues were dried at 60 ℃ for 15 h and ground into power. Then, 0.3 g homogenized samples were digested in a microwave digestion system. The interference from mass spectrometry was removed using the kinetic energy discrimination model in the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, and the baseline interference was removed by online internal standards. The contents of 17 elements were determined in placental specimens using the established microwave digestion -inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry assay, including V, Ni, Co, Fe, Cr, Cu, Zn, Mn, As, Sn, Sb, Ba, Se, Cd, Pb, Hg and Tl.
Results:
Good linearity was shown for V, Ni, Co, Cr, As, Se, Cd, Pb and Tl at 1 to 50 µg/L, Fe at 100 to 5 000 µg/L, Zn, Cu, Mn and Ba at 10 to 500 µg/L, Sn and Sb at 0.1 to 5 µg/L, and Hg at 0.2 to 2 µg/L, with all correlation coefficients of 0.999 8 and higher. The detection limits of these 17 elements ranged from 0.5 to 100 μg/kg, with relative standard deviations of 2.1% to 6.5%, and recovery rates of 83.3% to 110.0%. The determination results of 17 elements were all within the normal reference range defined in the certified reference materials of chicken (GBW10018).
Conclusions
The microwave digestion-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry established based on optimized pretreatments and mass spectrometry detection conditions, is feasible for simultaneous determination of multiple elements in placenta.

AIMTo observe protective effects of polydatin (PD) during lung ischemia/reperfusion injury (LI/RI) and investigate its potential mechanism .
METHODSRabbit lung model of ischemia/reperfusion injury was constituted in vivo. The 40 rabbits were randomly divided into four groups (n = 10): control group (C group), ischemia/reperfusion group (I/R), PD + I/R group (PD) and PD+ polymyxin B (PMB) + I/R group (PMB). The blood specimen gathered at different time points were tested for the content of melondialdehyde (MDA) and the enzyme activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD). The lung tissue sampled at the end of the experiment were assayed for wet/dry weight ratio (W/D), injured alveoli rate (IAR) and observing ultrastructure changes under electron micro scope.
RESULTS(1) The activity of SOD showed a similar time-dependent decline in I/R group and PMB group during I/R, while in PD group this tendency was milder (P < 0.01 vs I/R group). (2) In contrast to the results above, the level of MDA markedly increased in I/R and PMB group, but was slowed down in PD group (P < 0.01 vs I/R group). (3) The value of W/D) and IAR was much higher in I/R and PMB group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 vs C group). In PD group, it was decreased (P < 0.01 vs I/R group or PMB group). (4) Electron microscope showed obvious ultrastructure injury brought by LI/RI in I/R group and PMB group, which was greatly attenuated in PD group.
CONCLUSIONPD can protect lung from LI/RI, and PKC may participate in its mechanisms.

Objective Proteus syndrome is a rare disease. The aim of the present study was to analyze the clinical characteristics and gene mutations of Proteus syndrome with a case report and relevant literature review. Methods Clinical data of the patient with Proteus syndrome were collected in detail and biochemical measurements and radiological examinations were conducted. Tissues from phalanges with lesions were obtained to extract DNA, and Sanger sequencing of AKT1 gene was carried on. The pathogenic mutation was further tested in peripheral blood samples of the patient, his parents and 250 healthy volunteers. Orthopaedic surgery was performed on the affected limbs of the patient. Results The patient was presented with progressive overgrowth of the right extremity, scoliosis, cerebral connective tissue nevus and lower extremity venous. A heterozygous mutation of AKT1 gene (c. 49G>A) was identified in DNA extracted from the affected bone tissue of the patient, but not be found in genomic DNA of peripheral blood samples from the patient, his parents and 250 healthy volunteers. Movement function of the affected limb improved significantly after the operations. Conclusions The prominent features of Proteus syndrome are overgrowth of one extremity and cerebral connective tissue nevus. A mosaic somatic mutation of AKT1 gene is one of the pathogenic mutations for Proteus syndrome, and orthopedic surgery may be a good way to improve symptoms of the disease.

Objective:To explore the outcome of extended internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling combined with releasing the edge technique for primary failed idiopathic macular hole (IMH) surgery.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed. The data of 18 eyes of 18 IMH patients who were failed in primary surgery from August 2013 to June 2019 in Peking University People’s Hospital were enrolled in the study. Among them, 5 patients were males and 13 patients were females. The average age was 66.2±6.4 years. The BCVA were measured by ETDRS charts. The minimum macular hole size was measured on OCT B-scan image. The average preoperative BCVA and minimum macular hole size of primary surgery was 32.6±13.1 letters and 621.1±161.8 μm. The average preoperative BCVA and minimum macular hole size of second surgery was 34.4±12.3 letters and 499.0±148.6 μm. Average interval period of first and second surgery was 3.4±1.3 weeks. The surgical technique used in the reoperation included the extended ILM peeling combined with releasing the MH edges. The extended ILM peeling area ranged from 4 DD diameter to vascular arcades. The technique of releasing the macular hole edges was performed by using a silicone soft-tip extrusion cannula, with which tapping the edges softly or aspirated vacuum the edges concentricly. The average follow-up was 9.3±5.2 months. The clear OCT image can be obtained for confirming MH closure which was considered as the closure time in the first time. The comparison of preoperative and postoperative was performed by paired t-test. Results:The closure rate of second surgery was 94.4% (17/18), and average closure time was 2.1±1.0 weeks. Only 1 eye experienced the second surgical failure and received the third surgery to achieved macular hole closure. Average final follow-up BCVA was 51.5±13.0 ETDRS letters, with average improvement of 18.9 ETDRS letters (>3 lines) compared with preoperative BCVA of primary surgery. There was significantly statistical difference between the final BCVA and preoperative BCVA ( t=5.412, P <0.001). Eleven patients (61.1%) had 3 lines BCVA improvement, 15 patients (83.3%) had more than 1 line improvement, and 3 patients (16.7%) had on improvement. The final BCVA of patients significantly improved compared with preoperative BCVA of the second surgery ( t=7.595, P<0.001), with average improvement of 17.1±9.5 letters. Conclusion:The extended ILM peeling combined with releasing macular hole edges technique is effective to improve the closure rate and BCVA of primary failed IMH eyes.
