BACKGROUND: Bracket dropping is often seen in clinic. Can these shed brackets be used again; what should be done to treat these brackets; is the bond strength of these recycled brackets different from those new ones, these questions are often concerned by orthodontists in their clinic and are the purpose of our study as well.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the shear bond strength and compare two base-cure methods of recycled brackets. DESIGN: Grouping control study. SITTING: Department of Orthodontics, the Affiliated Hospital of Medical College, Qingdao University; Department of Materials, Dental School, Beijing University. MATERIALS: The teeth were collected from Oral Surgery, the Affiliated Hospital of Medical College, Qingdao University. The age was from 11 to 19 years. The gender was half male and half female. Intact enamel of the crown was required, but decayed, fracture, tetracycline pigmentation teeth or fluorosis teeth were excluded. Patients provided the confirmed consent for this experiment.METHODS: The experiment was carried out in Stomatology College of Peaking University in December 2005. Thirty ex vivo teeth were selected randomly from those prepared enamel surfaces, used as sample for rebounding. The edgewise brackets of swallow-tailed brackets were bonded on each tooth and rebonded after 24 hours. The teeth were cleaned and divided randomly into 3 groups. There were 10 teeth in each group. Group 1 was bonded with new brackets; group 2 with recycled brackets whose adhesive remnant were burned and got rid of; group 3 with recycled brackets whose adhesive remnant in the groove of the base were stored. Bracket was provided by Standard edgewise, Orsu Company, Hangzhou, China. After 24 hours, the shear bond strength was tested with material testing machine (Autogragh, Shimadzu, Japan). Adhesive remnant index (ARI) was added up. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Shear strength of old metal bracket after rebonding and adhesive remnant.RESULTS: ① Shear bond strength: The shear bond strengths were (10.094±3.158 9) in group 1, (10.266±2.406 0) in group 2 and (8.898±1.365 9) in group 3. There were no statistically significant differences among the three groups (P > 0.05). ② ARI scores: ARI scores were 51.7%, 58.3% and 35.0% in the three groups, respectively. There were statistically significant differences between group 2 and 3. CONCLUSION: In vitro study indicates that the recycled metal brackets can reach good bond strength and that maybe there is chemical bond between new and old adhesive.

Objective:To study the tissue speciality of endothelium-dependent vascular relaxation mediated by endothelial protein activated by acetylcholine (EPA)and its relationship with atherosclerosis.Methods:The tension of the isolated artery preparations was recorded using isometric-tension method and the isolated endothelium-intact vessels derived from normal and hyperlipidemic animal artery.Results:The EPA-mediated endothelium-dependent vascular relaxation was exhibited in rabbit aorta, renal, femoral, carotid, pulmonary arteries and cat aorta, renal, femoral, mesentery, coronary arteries but with different EC50. The sensitivity of EPA to ACh in descending order: pulmonary>renal>aorta>femoral>carotid arteries in rabbits. In cats,coronary>aorta>femoral>mesentary>renal. The endothelium-dependent vascular relaxation mediated by EPA in aorta, carotid and pulmonary arteries decreased significantly in hyperlipidemia rabbits.Conclusions:EPA effect existed wildly in testing artery and was of different tissue sensitivity. The decrease in EPA potency was closely related to occurence of atheroclerosis.

Objective To investigate the risk factors, treatment methods and significance of the cervical venous angle lymph node metastasis in differentiated thyroid cancer. Methods The clinical data of 222 patients with thyroid papillary carcinoma from December 2012 to January 2014 were collected. The surgical methods, complications and postoperative complications and pathology were analyzed. Results Lymph node metastasis was found in 133 cases. when VI lymph node was positive , the lateral cervical lymph node positive rate was 43%(57/133) inⅡDistrict, 54%(72/133) inⅢDistrict,ⅣDistrict 45%(60/133) inⅣDistrict, 60%(80/133) in jugular angle, and 6%(8/133) in V District. The levels of bleeding volume, operation time and hospitalization time in functional neck dissection (FND) group were significantly higher than those in anterior cervical muscle group and reserved anterior cervical muscle group (P<0.05). Single factor analysis showed that diameter of the tumors, thyroid membrane invasion and central region lymph node metastasis had correlations with venous angle lymph metastasis (P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that thyroid membrane invasion (OR=3.539), central region lymph node metastasis (OR = 1.617), diameters of the tumors (OR = 1.321)were the risk factors of cervical venous angle lymph node metastasis. Conclusions Patients with tumor diameter equal to or more than 1.5 cm, thyroid membrane invasion and lymph node metastasis number greater than or equal to 2 should be performed with lateral neck lymph node dissection. Also the venous angle lymph node dissection should be done in these patients so as to increase radical rate.
