BACKGROUND: Vitapex is an injectable root canal filling material. It possesses effects of antibiosis, analgesia, as well as promotes formation of alveolar bone, dentin and cementum, which had been widely used in apexification. However, it also has weakness of long induction time and need reduplicated subsequent visit.OBJECTIVE: To explore the therapeutic effect of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Vitapex paste on apexification.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The contrast observation experiment was performed at the Department of Stomatology,Shenyang Children's Hospital from February 2006 to November 2008.PARTICIPANTS: A total of 42 patients with 49 teeth were included in this study, including 28 anterior maxilla and 21 premolars.The X-ray film showed that the root tip of teeth was immature.METHODS: The teeth were randomly divided into the experimental group (n=25) and control group (n=24), which was apexificated by MTA and Vitapex paste, respectively.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The effective rate of two groups was compared at months 3, 6 and 12 after operation.RESULTS: All teeth were included in the final analysis. The effective rate of experimental group was greater than the control group at 3 months after operation, and the difference had significant (P < 0.05), while, the effective rate was similar in two groups at 6 and 12 months after operation (P > 0.05).CONCLUSION: Both MTA and Vitapex paste are ideal filling materials in apexfication. Nevertheless, MTA may be a substitute in apexfication for its short therapy duration and precisely therapeutic effect.

ObjectiveTo report a series of female patients with bladder cancer who underwent gynecologic-tract sparing radical cystectomy with long term follow-up.MethodsFifty-five female patients between the ages of 25 and 82 years who underwent gynecologic-tract sparing radical cystectomy between 1990 and 2010 were reviewed retrospectively.Pathologic characteristics and survival ( overall and cancerspecific) were reported.Survival was estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods,and Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were performed to determine factors associated with mortality.ResultsFive patients were lost in follow up.Fifty-five women with a mean follow-up of 55.2 months were analyzed.The 3,5 and 10-year cancer specific survival (CSS) was 65％,61％ and 61％,respectively,and the corresponding overall survival (OS) was 61％,54％ and 42％,respectively.For patients with organ confined disease ( ≤ pT2N0M0) the 5-year CSS and OS was 84％ and 72％,while for those with non organ confined disease ( ≥pT3N0M0) the 5-year CSS and OS reduced to 29％ and 29％.Pathologic lymph node status (HR =3.877,P =0.019) and pathologic staging ( HR =3.992,P =0.011 ) were the only clinical or pathologic characteristics significantly associated with survival.ConclusionsFor patients with pathologically organ-confined bladder cancer ( ≤ pT2 N0 M0 ),gynecologic-tract sparing radical cystectomy is an oncologically safe treatment modality,while for those with ≥ pT3N0M0 or positive pelvic lymph nodes,gynecologic-traet sparing radical cystectomy may need large scale randomized control trials to justify its validity,pathological stage and lymph node status are the most important key points when choosing appropriate patients.

Objective To investigate whether there is a thinning of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in the eyes of diabetic patients and to analyze the relationship between RNFL thickness and several diabetic risk factors. Methods Forty-two type 2 diabetes mellitus patients aged 47-70 years were enrolled in this study. All the subjects underwent ophthalmologic examinations and glaucoma diagnosis (GDx) nerve fiber analyzer scanning with two different modes: variable cornea compensation (VCC) and enhanced cornea compensation(ECC).The GDx parameters included the temporal-superior-nasal-inferior-temporal average (TSNITave), superior and inferior averages, the TSNIT standard deviation and the nerve fiber indicator (NFI). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was applied to study the diagnostic ability of indices. The association between risk factors and the NFI was studied. Results The area under the curve for the ROC of the NFI was the largest for both the ECC and VCC modes. There was a significant relationship between age and RNFL thinning. However, there was no significant association between diabetic duration and fasting blood glucose with RNFL thinning. The influence of age on NFI was greater in diabetic patients than in control subjects. Conclusions Age has an important influence on the NFI of diabetic patients. Diabetic patients with normal ocular fundus may have RNFL thinning.

Objective To evaluate the association of age and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness by means of scanning laser polarimetry in a sample of healthy Chinese eyes. Methods One hundred and fifty eyes of 150 healthy subjects underwent RNFL scan in two different modes (Variable Cornea Compensation,VCC;Enhanced Cornea Compensation,ECC) of Glaucoma Diagnosis Variable Cornea Compensation Nerve Fiber Analyzer.The parameters included temporal-superior-nasal-inferior-temporal (TSNIT) average,superior average,inferior average,TSNIT standard deviation,and nerve fiber indicator (NFI). Results Mean values of TSNIT average,superior average,inferior average,TSNIT standard deviation and NFI in VCC mode were (57.12±6.26),(69.35±4.21),(67.59±7.06),(25.46±4.02),(17.35±7.59),while the parameters' values in ECC mode were (56.15±5.32),(68.24±6.63),(66.90±2.40),(24.80±6.76),(18.84±8.51),respectively.The differences between the values of VCC and ECC modes were not statistically significant.The parameters' values of total subjects were associated with age.But there were no significant associations between age and parameter values in the eyes of those older than 40 years old subjects. Conclusions There are no significant differences between the RNFL values detected by VCC and ECC modes in 150 healthy Chinese eyes.Age has influence on RNFL thinning in 21-70 years old healthy eyes,but not in the eyes of older than 40 years old people.

Objective To explore the features of gallbladder adenomyoma in sonogram, and improve the abilities of diagnosis and differential diagnosis. Method Sonograms of 8 patients with proven gallbladder adenomyoma were retrospectively analyzed and correlated with pathologic findings. Results Eight patients had sonographic evidence of localized intramural nodular,which were round-like and hypoechoic,with anechoic space and tiny bright echos, confined almost exclusively to the fundus of gallbladder. Five patients were also evident with associated gallstones and chronic cholecytitis. Conclusion Sonograms of gallbladder adenomyoma have marked features, which can be differentially diagnosed from other projective lesions of gallbladder.

Object To establish a tissue culture and rapid propagation system for the medicinal plant Iphigenia indica Kunth. Methods Clusters of seedlings and protocorms and induction were studied on MS media with different parts of the plant, such as corms, stems, leaves and root tips as explants. Results The proper media for protocorm inducing, propagation and rooting were found in this paper, rapid propagation system of I. indica was established and the plant could put in large scale production. Conclusion Sprout can be successfully induced from corm and stem on MS media. MS+6-BA 2 mg/L+NAA 0.5 mg/L can induce both sprout and protocorm, and fit for large scale production. 1/2 MS+IBA 0.5 mg/L+NAA 0.2 mg/L is good for rooting.

Objective To observe the effects of different doses of Yinxingdamo injection on changes of nerve-specific enolase (NSE) of patients with medium-sized brain injury and discusse the mechanism of Yinxingdamo injection in the treatment of brain injury. Methods The contents of serum NSE in 33 cases of craniocerebral injury were dectected by ELISA test and the results were analyzed. Results NSE levels in patients with brain injury were significantly higher than normal people (p ＜0.05). Yinxingdamo injection can reduce the content of NSE for brain injury patients. This reduction related with the dosage of the medicine, showing the higher the dosage is used, the greater reduction may be.Conclusion Yinxingdamo injection can reduce NSE in serum of patients with brain injury, and this may be the mechanism of Yinxingdamo injection in treating craniocerebral injury.
