Objective To investigate the reliability of cast measurements by comparing Photoshop and conventional hand-held method. Methods Maxillary standard plaster models from 10 orthodontic cases with crowding were enrolled in this study. The space available and the space required of anterior region were measured by using Photoshop in the digital pictures or conventional method used by 5 observers respectively.The measurement results of the same sample among every observer were analyzed with ANOVA, and the difference between the 2 methods was calculated and paired t test was used to analyze the data. Results The repeatability of measurement results was not good when the space available was measured with conven-tional method by different observer( M1 ～ M5 ), and the measurement results of M1 were significantly different from that of M3 and M5 respectively( P ＜ 0.05 ). The repeatability of measurement results was relatively good when the space available was measured by using Photoshop, and the measurement results of M5 were significantly different from other observers ( P ＜ 0.05 ). The measurement results of space required measured by different observer were very close, and the reproducibility was excellent when they were measured by means of Photoshop or conventional methods. Conclusion There were no much difference between Photoshop and conventional method to measure the required space. Photoshop had significant advantage over conventional method when available sRace was measured.

Eighty six patients with chronic superficial gastritis, atrophic gastritis and peptic ulcer without autoimmune diseases underwent gastroscopy and biopsy in the gastric antrum and body. Hp was identified by histopathological analysis (Warthin Starry silver stains) and rapid urease test (RUT). Lymphoid tissue was observed by HE stain and immunohistochemistry method. Results showed that Hp infection was found in 68 6% of the patients.Lymphoid follicles were present in 35 6% of the Hp positive patients ,and no lymphoid follicles were found in the Hp negative patients.In six Hp positive patients,Lymphoepithelial lesions were found.Hp infection was closely associated with gastric mucosal lymphoid infiltration,lymphoid follicles and active inflammation( P

Objective To select valuable biomarkers for diagnosis and predicting outcome of sepsis-related acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS) from D-dimmer (DD),yon Willebrand factor (vWF),platelet (PLT),N terminal-pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-ProBNP),interleukin-6 (IL-6),interleukin-8 (IL-8) and surfactant protein D (SP-D).Methods A total of 48 sepsis accompanied with ARDS patients and 40 sepsis patients were prospectively studied with comparison.The clinical characteristics of all the patients were recorded in detail.The blood samples were obtained within 24 hours of ICU admission.The concentration or activity of the seven biomarkers was quantitatively assayed and the results were recorded.To select the most valuable biomarkers as clinical indices,diagnosis model and death predictive model were constructed by Logistic regression.Results Among the seven candidate biomarkers,SP-D,vWF and IL-8 showed the most value.Their area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) were 0.758 (P ＜ 0.01),0.783 (P ＜ 0.01) and 0.747 (P ＜ 0.01) respectively,and raised to 0.847 (P ＜ 0.001) when the three biomarkers were combined.IL-8,age greater than or equal to 60 years and APACHE Ⅱ score greater than or equal to 20 were related to ARDS death with 12.138(lnIL-8)(P=0.022),6.157(P=0.040) and7.415(P=0.014) of OR values respectively.Conclusion SP-D,vWF,IL-8 should be valuable for early prediction of sepsis-induced ARDS and the diagnostic accuracy raised through combined utilization.IL-8 may be predictable for prognosis of sepsis related ARDS and the comprehensive evaluation combining clinical indices with IL-8 should be suggested in clinical practice.

Objective To explore the potential changes of connexin Cx36 in hippocampus and cortical neurons of rats with hyperthermia -induced convulsion.Methods Rats were divided into 2 groups according to the random number table method:normal control group and experimental group.Febrile convulsion model was elicited through im-mersion in warm water.The experimental group was generated following febrile convulsion model:hyperthermia group and febrile convulsion group.Among normal control group,hyperthermia group and febrile convulsion group,western blot analysis and immunofluorescence labeling techniques were used to examine the expression of Cx36 protein in the hippo-campus and cortex area.One -Way ANOVA was used to compare the mean of multiple sample,the LSD test was used to compare the two means.Tamhane′s test was used when variance were uneven.Results The incubation period,seizure duration and temperature were (4.39 ±0.08)min,(5.38 ±0.07)min,(41 .87 ±0.06)℃ after hyperthermia-in-duced convulsion,respectively.Western blot analysis showed that the expression of Cx36 protein in the hippocampus and cortex area decreased gradually after 1 0 times of seizure in normal control group,hyperthermia group and febrile convulsion group,and the febrile convulsion group decreased most obviously.Compared with normal control group and hyperthermia group,respectively,in febrile convulsion group Cx36 expression obviously decreased in the hippocampus and cortex in rats with 1 ,5,1 0 seizure times induced by hyperthermia,and with the increase of number of induced con-vulsion,the expression of Cx36 was significantly decreased in the cortex (0.1 04 ± 0.01 2)and CA1 (0.091 ± 0.01 1 ),CA3 (0.090 ±0.01 1 )and DG (0.092 ±0.01 2)areas of hippocampal neurons compared with the normal control group (0.21 2 ±0.01 7,0.1 67 ±0.01 3,0.1 59 ±0.01 4,0.1 71 ±0.01 3)and the hyperthermia group (0.1 89 ± 0.006,0.1 44 ±0.008,0.1 29 ±0.005,0.1 65 ±0.01 1 )(all P <0.05).Furthermore,the extent of reduction in Cx36 expression seemed to correlate with the number of seizures.Conclusion With the increase of thermal seizure frequen-cy,Cx36 expression of rats was decreased obviously which may lower convulsion threshold and lead to recurrent seizures.
