7.Rehabilitation of occlusion---Science or art?
Journal of Practical Stomatology 2015;(1):116-122
The procedure of occlusal treatment involves improving the morphology and the stomatognathic function.Several practical methods and morphological endpoints have been described in occlusal rehabilitation.We made a selection of these (mandibular position,oc-clusal plane,occlusal guidance,occlusal contact,face-bow transfer,use of an adjustable articulator and occlusal support)and performed a literature review to verify the existence of compelling scientific evidence for each of these.A literature search was conducted using Medline /PubMed in March 2011.Over 400 abstracts were reviewed,and more than 50 manuscripts selected.An additional hand search was also con-ducted.Of the many studies investigating stomatognathic function in relation to specific occlusal schemes,most studies were poorly designed and of low quality,thus yielding ambiguous results.Overall,there is no scientific evidence that supports any specific occlusal scheme being superior to others in terms of improving stomatognathic function,nor that sophisticated methods are superior to simpler ones in terms of clini-cal outcomes.However,it is obvious that the art of occlusal rehabilitation requires accurate,reproducible,easy and quick procedures to re-duce unnecessary technical failures and /or the requirement for compensatory adjustments.Therefore,despite the lack of scientific evidence for specific treatments,the acquisition of these general skills by dentists and attaining profound knowledge and skills in postgraduate training will be necessary for specialists in charge of complicated cases.

10.An Experimental Study on Pharmacodynamics and Mechanism of Sedative-hypnotic Effect ofTiaozhong Huatan Anshen Mixture
Chinese Journal of Information on Traditional Chinese Medicine 2015;(1):70-72,73
Objective To explore the mechanism ofTiaozhong Huatan Anshen Mixture (THAM). Methods A total of 200 healthy Kunming mice were randomly and equally divided into first, second, third and fourth major groups. Each major group was further equally divided into blank group, control group and high, medium, low dose THAM groups. Each group was given an equal volume of NS, estazolam, or high, medium, or low dose THAM by gavage for 7 d. For the first major group, the changes in number of spontaneous activities after administration were evaluated. For the second major group, 60 min after administration, each group was given pentobarbital sodium (30 mg/kg body weight, minimum dose for all mice sleeping) by intraperitoneal injection, and the sleep time was recorded. For the third major group, 60 min after administration, each group was given pentobarbital sodium (15 mg/kg body weight, maximum dose for 90%-100% of all mice having righting reflex) by intraperitoneal injection. The number of mice falling asleep was recorded, and the sleep rate was calculated. For the fourth major group, mice were sacrificed after continuous administration 15 d. They were quickly removed brain tissue;homogenates were taken out in batches;5-HT and 5-HIAA levels in brain tissues were determined according to fluorescence spectrophotometric.Results Compared with the blank group, all treated groups had a reduced number of spontaneous activities, a shortened sleep latency, a prolonged sleep time, and an increased sleep rate after administration (P<0.01,P<0.05), with the most significant changes seen in the control group and high-dose THAM group (P<0.05), with out statistical significance between the two groups (P>0.05). Compared with the blank group, brain 5-HT and 5-HIAA levels in all treated groups increased in mice (P<0.01,P<0.05), with the most significant changes seen in the high-dose THAM group (P<0.05).Conclusion THAM has a significant sedative-hypnotic effect. The mechanism may be related to increasing brain 5-HT synthesis and metabolism.
