Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(24):3818-3823
BACKGROUND:The characteristics of condylar morphology should be first understood in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the bilateral condylar morphology in adult patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate. METHODS:This study included 25 patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (study group), and 25 normal volunteers (control group). The upper condylar height, ramal height, condylar height and condylar width were measured on panoramic radiographs. The ratio of the upper condylar height to the ramal height and the ratio of the condylar height to the condylar width were calculated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, upper condylar height, condylar width, condylar height and the ratio of the upper condylar height to the ramal height were reduced in the study group between the normal and affected sides (P<0.05). Moreover, significant differences in condylar morphology were detected between the two groups. No significant difference in ramal height and the ratio of the condylar height to the condylar width was detected between the two groups (P>0.05). No significant difference in upper condylar height, ramal height, condylar width, condylar height, the ratio of the upper condylar height to the ramal height, the ratio of the condylar height to the condylar width, and condylar morphology was detectable between the normal and affected sides in the experimental group (P>0.05). These data show that adult patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate presented short condylar process and narrow neck, and the condylar process is shorter than ramus, which provides clinical evidence for patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate.

0.05), respectively. The remnant index(%) in group 1,2,3 and 4 was 56.7, 56.7, 80 and 50 respectively. Conclusion: In vitro study indicates that there is no difference in production of shear strength and tensile strngth between teeth and the tow kinds of brackets.

Objective To analyse CT appearances of malignant neurilemoma in the thorax and abdomen,in order to improve the diagnostic accuracy of this disorder. Methods There were 9 cases(5 cases in thorax and 4 cases in abdomen) with malignant neurilemoma proved by pathology (7 cases by surgery and 2 cases by CT guided percutaneous puncture biopsy). CT both plain and enhanced scans were performed in all cases. Results Tumors were located in the mediastinum in 5, in abdominal wall and retroperitoneum in 2 respectively .7 cases were isolated masses,2cases were disseminated masses,in company with pleuritic fluid was in 4 and with osteogenic metastasis of vertabral body in one case.The isolated masses appeared as round or ellipse with low density in the centre,the CT value was 5~20 HU,6 cases had complete capsule.The disseminated masses in 2 cases appeared as homogeneous density.On contrast-enhanced scan,the solid parts of masses were enhanced in different degree. Conclusion The isolated thoracic and abdominal malignant neurilemoma is of certain CT characteristics, but the disseminated one is not.

A series of 4-(2-acetoxybenzoylamino) butyrate derivatives were designed and synthesized. All of the novel 12 compounds (7a-7k) were synthesized from gamma-aminobutyric acid (1) as starting material, and their structures were confirmed with IR, 1H NMR, EI-MS and elemental analysis. Preliminary pharmacological test in vitro showed that most of these title compounds possessed antiepileptic activity. Compounds 7i-7k displayed strong antiepileptic activity and are worth for further development. Compounds 4, 7d-7h showed moderate antiepileptic activity. The structure-activity relationship of 4-(2-acetoxybenzoylamino) butyrate derivatives is also discussed preliminarily.

To explore new agents of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) derivatives with more potent antiepileptic activity, a series of 4-(2-acetoxybenzoylamino) butyramide derivatives were designed and synthesized. All of the novel compounds (5a-51) were synthesized from GABA as starting material, and their structures were confirmed with IR, 1H NMR, EI-MS and elemental analysis. Preliminary pharmacological test in vitro showed that all target compounds displayed strong antiepileptic activities and were worth for further study. The structure-activity relationship of 4-(2-acetoxybenzoylamino) butyramide derivatives was also discussed preliminarily.

Objective To investigate the the treatment of class Ⅲ malocclusion by orthognathic surgery combined with postoperative orthodontics.Methods Nine patients with skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion were treated by surgery-first approach without pre-surgical orthodontic from January 2012 to August 2014.The studied sample consisted of 7 women and 2 men (aged 15-28 years old, mean age 19.7 years), who had obvious mandibular protrusion.2 to 3 days after surgery, intermaxillary traction was used to made the maxilla and mandible together by board;we replaced a rubber band every 2 to 3 days and lasted for four weeks.We would dismantle board and performed conventional orthodontic treatment after patient's facial swelling subsided, and the positional relationship between the jaw stabilized.Results The face type of 9 patients were greatly improved after orthodontic treatment for 6.5 to 19.5 months.Patients and their family members felt satisfied, and their occlusal function returned to normal.At 3 to 32 months follow-up, the postoperative appearance and occlusion were becoming good without obvious signs of recurrence.Conclusions The surgery-first approach is an effective method to treat skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion.

AIM: To explore the possible changes in cell adhesion molecules and composition of complement activation in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS: The expression of leukocyte CD18, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), soluble vascular-cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) and composition of complement activation (sC5b-9) concentrations of patients with AMI (67 cases), old myocardial infarction (OMI, 42 cases) and 38 healthy volunteers were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). RESULTS: The expression of leukocyte CD18, sICAM-1,sVCAM -1 and sC5b-9 were significantly higher in AMI patients than that in normal controls and OMI patients(P

To explore the mechanism of protecting erythrocyte deformability (ED) of polysaccharide sulfate(PSS)and propyllene glycolmannurate sulfate(PGMS) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The erythrocyte filtration index(EFI),erythrocgte membrane Na+,K+-ATPase .glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)activity and lipid peroxide(LPO) were measured in 52 patients with AMI. Meanwhile the effects of PSS and PGMS on EFI, Na+,K+-ATPase ,GSH-Px and LPO in AMI patients were observed in vitro. The results showed that the EFI and LPO were markedly higher ,Na+ ,K+-ATP ase and GSH-Px were si-hnificantly lower in patients than those in control(P0. 05). These results indicate that PSS and PGMS could improve the ED in patients ,and the efficacy of PSS or PGMS was related to enchancement of erythrocyte membrane ATP-ase anci GSH-Px activity.
