OBJECTIVEThis study aims to evaluate the influence of different bone types on the stress distribution in tooth implant-supported fixed partial prostheses by using finite element (FE) analysis.

METHODSFour FE models of mandibular arch containing one implant splinted to the mandibular second premolar were built according to bone types I, II, III, and IV. Dynamic loads of 250 N were applied to the buccal and lingual cusps of the prostheses in different directions to simulate the masticatory cycle. The maximum Von Mises stresses were calculated using the FE analysis software.

RESULTSThe maximum Von Mises stresses of the cortical bones were 89.229, 91.860, 125.840, and 158.420 MPa, increasing from type I to type IV, respectively. The maximum Von Mises stresses of the trabecular bone were 58.584, 43.645, 21.688, and 18.249 MPa, decreasing from type I to type IV, respectively. During the process of dynamic loading, the maximum Von Mises stresses of the cortical and trabecular bones followed the order buccal to tongue loading>tongue to buccal loading>vertical loading.

CONCLUSIONThe results showed that bone type significantly influenced the stress distribution in bones, and that for tooth implant-supported fixed partial prostheses, bone types I and II were a better choice than bone types III and IV. More caution should be exercised when restoring missing teeth using tooth implant-supported fixed partial prostheses in softer bone regions.

ObjectiveTo investigate mutations in exons 19, 20 and 21 of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene in elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MethodsEGFR gene mutations in exons 19, 20 and 21 were detected by nested PCR amplification and DNA sequencing in 46 elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer. The relationship between mutations and clinical characteristics of these patients was analyzed. ResultsEGFR gene mutations were found in 56.5% (26/46) patients and 41.3% (19/46)were non-silent mutations. Mutation of exon 19 was detected in 6 cases (13.0%), mutation of exon 20 in 13 cases(28.2%) and that of exon 21 in 14 cases (30.4%). Seven patients among them had double mutations and the rest only had a single mutation. The incidence of EGFR gene mutations was higher in non-smokers than in smokers(P＜ 0.01). Higher EGFR mutation rate in exon 19, 20 and 21 were found in patients with clinical benefit who were treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitor(TKl)(P＜0.05). There was no difference in EGFR mutation rate between 60～69 age group and 70～85 age group. ConclusionsThe data suggest that the characteristics of EGFR gene mutations in elderly patients with NSCLC is the same as in the general NSCLC patients. The forecast informations of TKI treatment can be obtained by gene detection in elderly NSCLC patients.

Objective To evaluated the treatment results of late-course accelerated hyperfractionated radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy for advanced esophageal carcinoma. Methods 72 patients with advanced esophageal cancer were randomized into two groups. The late-course accelerated hyperfractionated radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy(LCAF+CT)group received the induction chemotherapy for two cycles, followed by conventional fractionation radiotherapy to a dose of 36 Gy, then changed into accelerated hyperfractionated radiotherapy to a total dose of 60 ~ 66 Gy. The conventional fractionation radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy(CF+CT)group received the chemotherapy that it was similar to LCAF+CT group, and used the conventional fractionation radiotherapy to a total dose of 60 ~ 66 Gy. Results The 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 82.3 %, 51.6 %, 38.2 % in the LCAF+CT group, and 73.8 %, 31.5 %, 18.6 % in the CF+CT group. The differences of 3- and 5-year survival rates were statistically significant (P 0.05). Conclusion Late-coures accelerated hyperfractionated radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy might improve the treatment efficacy of advanced esophageal cancer and lengthen the suvival time. The toxic and side effects of LCAF+CT group were more severe than those of CF+CT group, but they were well tolerable.

Objective:To investigate the effects of 5-aza-2′deoxycytidine(5-aza-dC),a DNA methyltransferase (DNMT)inhibitor, on the methylation status of the RECK gene and the invasion of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma cell lines.Methods:Methylation-specific PCR,Western blot analysis and quantitative real-time PCR were used to investigate the methylation status of RECK gene and the expression of RECK mRNA and protein in SACC cell lines.The invasive ability of SACC cells was examined by transwell assay. Results:Promoter methylation was only found in ACC-Mcell line and not in ACC-2 cell line.Treatment of ACC-Mcells with 5-aza-dC partially reversed the hypermethylation status of the RECK gene and significantly enhanced the expression level of mRNA and pro-tein of RECK,suppressed ACC-Mcell invasive ability.Conclusion:5-aza-dC can inhibit ACC-Mcell invasion by reversal of hyperm-ethylation status of RECK gene.

Objective To investigate the outcomes of patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) under morphine-fentanyl combined anesthesia. MethodsSeventy-two patients aged 41-64 yr undergoing OPCABG were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 36 each): Ⅰ group morphine + fentanyl (group MF) and Ⅱ group fentanyl (group F). Anesthesia was induced with midazolam, etomidate, and vecuronium.Fentanyl 10-20 μg/kg was given iv when needed. The patients were mechanically ventilated after tracheal intubation. Anesthesia was maintsined with inhalation of 0.5%-2.0% isoflurane and intermittent iv boluses of vecuronium in both groups. Morphine 0.15 mg·kg-1·h-1 + fentanyl 8 μg·kg-1·h-1 were infused during operation in group MF, while in group F fentanyl 10 μg·kg-1·h-1 was infused. Morphine 0.75 mg/h was infused in group MF or fentanyl 10 μg/h in group F for postoperative analgesia after extubation. Recovery from anesthesia was assessed using a nine point (QoR) questionnaire. Pain was measured with VAS score and sedation with Ramsay sedation score ( 1 = fully awake, 6 = asleep, no response to verbal stimulus). The postoperative complications were recorded. ResultsQoR scores were significantly higher in group MF and in group F. The incidence of postoperative febrile reaction was significantly reduced in group MF. There was no significant difference in Ramsay sedation score and other postoperative complications between the 2 groups. ConclusionMorphine-fentanyl combined anesthesia is more beneficial for the prognosis in patients undergoing OPCABG compared with fentanyl combined anesthesia.

Objective:In order to provide policy-makers with basis and reference for improving the operational efficiency of county general public hospitals, this paper studies the changes in overall efficiency, technical efficiency and scale efficiency of 40 county general public hospitals in Fujian province from 2009 to 2014 , as well as how the to-tal factor productivity changes over the time. Methods: After collecting the relevant data of hospital operations from 2009 to 2014, this paper uses CCR, BBC, Malmquist model and other data envelopment analysis (DEA) methods to analyze the data. Results:The vast majority of those 40 county general public hospitals are in decreasing state. The total factor productivity of 40 hospitals from 2009 to 2014 is 1. 019. There are 21 hospitals (52. 5%) that slightly im-proved their productivity, of which 3 hospitals increased their productivity mainly due to technological progress, 3 hospitals due to efficiency increase, and the rest 15 hospitals due to the effect of both technological progress and effi-ciency increase. Conclusions:The operational efficiency of county general public hospitals in Fujian province is gen-erally insufficient, and there are significant differences between operating efficiency of different regions. The efficien-cy of hospitals in mountainous areas had increased, but the efficiency of hospitals in coastal areas had decreased. Therefore, in order to increase investment in county general public hospitals, the government should take differential policy and pay attention to the reasonable control of hospital size, as well as to strengthen the connotation building and attach importance to improving medical service technologies.
