Nasal supernumerary teeth and additional dental cyst is a common disease in Department of ENT and Department of Stomatology. In reported diseases, patients with a variety of additional teeth appeared in differ ent parts have varied clinical manifestations. Because of no obvious early symptoms, it is more difficult to diagnose, but CT examination in corresponding site can make it easy to diagnose the maxillary sinus and dentigerous cyst diagnosis. Operation is an effective method to cure the disease. Operation is simple, but the defect and tooth cavity after operation is one unavoidable problem for ENT doctor. In relevant literature it can be seen that the disease has a genetic tendency.

Objective To compare with the effect of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) between the left and the right prefrontal on refractory negative symptoms and serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Methods 80 hospitalized schizophrenics with refractory negative symptoms were divided into study group (n=40) and control group (n=40) randomly. Both groups were received 4-week treatment of 10 Hz rTMS. The stimulus lo?cation of the study group was the left prefrontal, and the control group was the right prefrontal. The type and dose of anti?psychotics remained unchanged during the treatment. The evaluation of positive and negative symptom scale (PANSS) and the measurement of BDNF concentration before treatment and after 4 weeks treatment was analyzed. Results Com?pared with before treatment, the total score of PANSS after treatment significantly decreased (P<0.05) both in the study group [(71.2±13.8) vs. (63.3±11.4)] and the control group [(70.3±13.4) vs. (63.7±12.2)]. The score of negative symptoms in the study group decreased [(22.8±6.6) vs. (18.4±5.9), P<0.01]. The BDNF concentration increased in the study group ](6.78±2.16) vs. (8.74±2.76)] and the control group [(6.83±2.32) vs. (8.66±2.70)]. Conclusion 10Hz rTMS on the left pre?frontal combined with drugs are helpful to improve the refractory negative symptom of the patients with schizophrenia. Stimulation on both left and right prefrontal lobe could increase serum BDNF concentration.

Objective To assess the value of echo tracking(ET) technique on atherosclerosis in the rabbit models, and to probe the pathological foundation of its indexes changes and the usefulness in evaluating arterial elasticity. Methods Thirty New Zealand rabbits were divided into 3 groups randomly: group A was the control group;group B,C were fed with high lipid feedstuffs for 8 weeks and 12 weeks, respectively. The ET examination of abdominal aorta was performed in group A and group B at the end of 8 weeks,it was performed in group A and group C at the end of 12 weeks. The parameters of elasticity were measured including pressure-strain elastic modulus (Ep), stiffness parameters(β), pulse wave velocity (PWVβ), augmentation index (AI), arterial compliance (AC), etc. Two dimensional ultrasound and pathological examination of abdominal aorta were performed at the same time. Results No obvious plaque and arterial wall thickness were seen in the abdominal aorta. Ep,β,PWVβ of group C were higher than that of group A and B, while AC of group C was lower than that of group A and B, and the difference had statistical significance (P<0.05). AI had no significant difference in all groups (P>0.05). Pathological examinations indicated that foam cell formation was seen in the abdominal aorta intima, the elastic fiber layer and smooth muscle layer were kept well in B group. Lots of cholesterol crystal formation was seen in the abdominal aorta intima and the two layer were obvious destroyed in group C. Conclusions ET can detect the atherosclerosis earlier than two-dimensional ultrasound. ET can detect the elasticity changes only when the elastic fiber layer and smooth muscle layer were destroyed . So it can be concluded that the destroy of elastic fiber layer and smooth muscle layer may be the pathological foundation of ET elasticity parameters changes.
