1.Research status on the effect of surface treatment of titanium & titanium alloy on bonding strength
International Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2009;32(4):244-246
Titanium & titanium alloy are popular in dentistry as dental material because of their good mechanical properties and extremely good biocompatibility. The bonding strength between the titanium and the resin agent is the decisive factor in evaluating the success of resin-bonded restoration. Appropriate surface treatment on the titanium is an effective way to reinforce the bending strength. The purpose of this review is to summarise the relevant studies and introduce some latest findings.

Objective To observe the protection of D-amphetamine on rat brain after focal cerebral ischemia.Methods The unilateral middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) models were established by using Koizumi's method.TUNEL was applied to detect quantitatively brain cell apoptosis at 1st,3rd and 6th week after operation.Immunohistochemical staining and RT-PCR were respectively used to detect the expression of growth-associated protein 43(GAP-43) and GAP-43 mRNA around ischemic area.Results Apoptosis of brain cells reduced evidently in the group treated with D-amphetamine.GAP-43 protein detection demonstrated statistically significant increase in immunoreaction product as determined by optical density measurements in D-amphetamine treated group compared with the group without any agent treatment.The same results appeared in RT-PCR product.Conclusion D-amphetamine can reduce brain cell apoptosis and promote GAP-43 expression.

Aim To establish an ideal two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis( 2-DE) method for serum proteomic research. Methods The 2-DE experiment of serum was opti-mized by adjusting the conditions of sample pretreatment and silver nitrate staining. Results An ideal 2-DE experiment method with higher repetition was established. The number of protein spots and the resolution were both increased,and this method was compatible with MS analysis. Conclusion After the adjustments and optimizations,an ideal method of 2-DE technique for serum is established,which has a high reference value for the relevant researches,and lays an experimental foundation for the search,analysis as well as identification of the disease related proteins in serum.

Objective To explore the effects of ephedrine on the hippocampal cell apoptosis and behavioral performance after hypoxia-ischemia brain injury in neonatal rats.Methods Totally 90 7-day rats were randomly divided into 3 groups,ephedrine treatment group,model group,and sham group.Hypoxia-ischemia brain injury model was established by permanently ligating right common carotid artery.Ephedrine (1.5 mg/kg,once per day) was injected intraperitoneally to the rats of ephedrine treatment group for 7 d,and the rats of model group was given normal saline at the same volume.At the following time interval of 6 and 12 h,and 1,3,and 7 d after hypoxia,the expression of bcl-2 and bax were detected in the hippocampal region by immunohistochemical staining.At 4 weeks after surgery,behavioral changes in the remaining rats were tested by Morris water maze.Results Compared with model group,the expression of bcl-2 in the ephedrine treatment group was significantly increased after hypoxic-ischemic injury,peaked at 1 d and decreased in 3 d after operation.And the expression of bax in the ephedrine treatment group was decreased in 1 d after hypoxic-ischemia.The average time of escape latency was gradually decreased in each group.However,from the 3rd to 5th day,it was much shorter in ephedrine treatment group than in model group.In addition,the frequency platform passing in the ephedrine treatment group and the percentage of swimming distance traveled in the previous target quadrant was significantly greater than those of the control group.Conclusion Ephedrine upregulates bcl-2 and downregulates bax in the hippocampus of neonatal rats after hypoxia-ischemia,and improves their ability of learning and memory.

The hemodynamics of 49 scheduled patients during anesthesia and opration for mitral and aortic valve replacement were studied with the insertion of SwanGanz catheter and by the method of thermodilution technics.Pre-anesthesia CI and LVWI were in the nor mal range with abnormal MPAP, PCWP, PTRI and RVWI.Increase of RAP and decrease in MPA,PCWP, MAP, CI, LVWI and RVWI were observed during induction of anesthesia. The hemodynamic parameters returned to or exceded the pre-anesthesia values after trachcal intubation and sternotomy. The CI, MAP, MPAP, PCWP, LVWI and RVWI decreased signifi- cantly after insertion of aorta and vena cava catheter. The reduction of MPAP, P(IWP,PTRI and RVWI post-cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) were significant and persistent with no change of PVRI.The lower MAP,SVRI and deterioration of cardiac performance post-CPB indicate that the administeration of positive inotropir agents and restoration of hematocrit are nec essary as early as possible.

Objective: To determine the action site of propofol and hydroxybutyrate sodium relaxing mandibular muscles. Method: Eighty adult patients,ASA class Ⅰ or Ⅱ, were randomly divided into four groups (n=20),receiving intravenous propofol 1.5,3.0mg/kg or hydroxybutyrate sodium 50,80mg/kg, respectively. Train-of-four (TOF), double-burst stimulation (DBS), tetanic stimulation (TS)were applied to ulnar nerve-adductor pollicis or mandibular nerve masseter. Result: (1) After intravenous propofol and hydroxybutyrate sodium,T1 (first twitch height of TOF)and TOF ratio of addutor pollicis were kept unchanged. (2)After intravenous propofol ,T1 induced by stimulating mandibular nerve-masseter was similar to before administration and TOF,DBS and TS ratios were significantly increased; (3) after intravenous hydroxybutyrate sodium,TOF ratios of mandibular nerve-masseter remained stable, but T1, DBS and TS ratios significantly reduced. Conclusion:Neuromuscular transmission of ulnar nerve-addutor pollicis is not affected by propofol and hydroxybutyrate sodium. The action place of propofol relaxing the mandibular muscles is located in central nerve system. Hydroxybutyrate sodium blocks neuromuscular transmission of mandibular nerve-masseter.
