BACKGROUND:In recent years, commonly used removable partial denture materials include Vitalium200 material, cobalt-chromium aloys and titanium materials. OBJECTIVE:To explore the value of different removable partial dentures in the repair of dentition defects. METHODS: Ninety cases of dentition defects, including 45 males and 45 females, aged 20-57 years old, were subject to removable partial denture repair. Among them, 30 cases were treated with Vitalium2000 removable partial dentures, 30 cases with titanium removable partial dentures, and 30 cases with cobalt-chromium removable partial denture. Denture inplace rate, incidence rates of denture stomatitis, periodontal disease and secondary caries, patient satisfaction self-evaluation were compared between three groups within 2 years after implantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Vitalium2000 material group was superior to pure titanium and cobalt-chromium aloy groups in the denture inplace rate, incidence rates of denture stomatitis, periodontal disease and secondary caries (P < 0.05). Patients in the Vitalium2000 material group were more satisfied with lightweight and comfort, aesthetics, chewing ability, odor degree of removable partial dentures than those in the other two groups (P < 0.05). These findings suggest that Vitalium2000 removable partial dentures can better improve the denture in place rate, reduce the incidence of denture stomatitis, periodontal disease and secondary caries, ensuring the comfort level and aesthetics of dentures.

AIM: To investigate the role of infiltration of macrophages and expression of intracellular adhesion molecule-1 in the pathogenesis of oleic-acid-induced acute lung injury rats. METHODS: The rats were subjected to injection of oleic acid (oleic acid group) or saline solution (control). After injecting oleic acid or saline for 4 hours, the PaO 2 of the left heart, lung permeability index(LPI), the number of macrophage and the levels of soluble intercellular molecule-1 (sICAM-1) in the bronchial alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were measured. The levels of expression of ICAM-1 mRNA were evaluated by in situ hybridization and the degree of macrophage infiltration and the expression of ICAM-1 were evaluated by double staining immunocytochemistry. RESULTS: The PaO 2 of the oleic acid group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P

AIM: To investigate the protective effect of anti-macrophage migration factor monoclonal antibody (anti-MIF MAb) on oleic-acid-induced acute lung injury (ALI) rats and its influence on the expression level of MIF and intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1). METHODS: The rats were subjected to injection of oleic acid (oleic acid group) or saline solution (control group). One hours before administration of oleic acid, the rats were intraperitoneally injected with anti-MIF antibody (5 mg/kg) as the treatment group. After injecting oleic acid or saline for 4 hours, the PaO_2, lung permeability index (LPI), the number of macrophage and the level of soluble ICAM-1 (sICAM-1) in the bronchial alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were measured. The expression level of MIF mRNA and ICAM-1 mRNA in the lung were detected by in situ hybridization, and the degree of macrophage infiltration and the expression of MIF were evaluated by double staining immunocytochemistry. RESULTS: The PaO_2 of the oleic acid group was far lower than those of the control and treatment group (P

HepG2 cells were pre-incubated with insulin (Ins 0,1,0. 1,0.01 μol/L) and dexamethasone ( Dex 0,3,0. 3,0.03 μol/L) alone or together for 24 h to induce insulin resistance (IR) in vitro, the resistant level was estimated by glucose consumption, the optimal model of insulin resitance was chosen, and at the same time its lasting time of resistance was determined. In order to investigate the effects and mechanisms of mifepristone on in sulin-resistant HepG2 cells induced by insulin and dexamethasone, mifepristone and pioglitazone were adminis tered 24 h after the optimal model of insulin-resistant HepG2 cells was established. The glucose consumption, in tracellular concentrations of glucose, glycogen, ATP, and free fatty acid (FFA) in each group were detected. The expression of InsR-mRNA and GR-mRNA was detected by semi-quantitative reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (SqRT-PCR). Results revealed that pretreatment with insulin (0. 1 μmol/L) and dexamethasone (0.3 (μol/L) for 24 h caused optimal insulin resistance of HepG2 cells which lasted for 36 h. Compared with control group, the glucose consumption, intracellular glucose, glycogen, ATP contents and the level of InsR-mRNA in model cells decreased while FFAs concentrations and GR-mRNA increased. However, the tendency of insulin resistant HepG2 cells was obviously attenuated by pioglitazone at the concentration of 0. 2 mmol/L and mifepris tone at 200μmol/L and 20 μol/L while mifepristone at 2 μol/L had no effect on insulin-resistant cells. The findings indicated that mifepristone at 200 μol/L and 20 μol/L improved the insulin resistance via modulating intracellular glucolipid metabolism and the expression of InsR-mRNA and GR-mRNA.

OBJECTIVETo analyze and evaluate the clinical efficacy of heat-sensitive moxibustion for symptoms of large intestine cancer.

METHODSSixty patients with large intestine cancer were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 30 cases in each one. FOLFOX chemotherapy regimen was used in the two groups,and heat-sensitive moxibustion was added in the observation group. The acupoints were Zusanli(ST 36), Sanyinjiao (SP 6) Xuehai (SP 10) and Geshu (BL 17), etc. The treatment was applied once a day,five-day treatment as one course. Four courses were required. The reaction rates of uncomfortable symptoms by the Chinese version of the M. D. Anderson symptom inventory (MDASI-C) scale and clinical effects were analyzed and evaluated in the two groups.

RESULTSAfter treatment, the MDASI-C reaction rate of uncomfortable symptoms in the observation group was 50.4% which was lower than 53.3% in the control group (P < 0.05). The total effective rate of symptom improvement in the observation group was 83.3% (25/30), which was higher than 60.0% (18/30) in the control group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONHeat-sensitive moxibustion can improve symptoms of chemotherapy for large intestine cancer.

A Co2+ ion-mediated formaldehyde imprinted polymer ( MIP) was prepared by coordination polymerization method in present work and its surface structure characterized by using IR spectrum and scanning electron microscope ( SEM). Inversed phase gas chromatography ( IGC) technique using this formaldehyde imprinted polymer as stationary phase was utilized to investigate on the retention selectivity, isotherm adsorption and adsorption thermodynamics for this imprint material toward the template and its structural analogue. Also, the ability of this polymer in the removal of formaldehyde from room atmosphere was explored. Results indicated that the capacity of the template on the molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) column was much higher than that of aldehyde and the lower column temperature and flow rate of carrier gas was beneficial for the selective retention of imprint material toward the template molecule, possessing a higher capacity factor of 61. 1 for the template and a higher separation factor of 10. 66 for this imprint polymer toward formaldehyde and aldehyde under the optimized chromatographic conditions ( column temperature: 363 K;flow rate of carrier gase: 7. 0 mL/ min; injection volume: 3. 0 μL). An approximate linear adsorption isotherm for the template and a BET Ⅲ one for the analogue on the MIPs was observed. In addition, this molecularly imprinted polymer was shown with higher capability in the removal of formaldehyde from room atmosphere.
