Objective:To examine the relation between the alteration of condylar endochondral in response to mandibular protrusion and the action time length by establishing a model of mandibular protrusion on young adult rats. Methods: 75 female Sprague-Dawley rats aged 9 weeks were divided into two experimental groups and one control group. In two experimental groups, bite jumping appliances created forward positioning of the condyle for twelve hours and whole day, respectively. The experimental rats, together with the control rats, were sacrificed on days 3, 7, 14, 21 and 30, respectively. Tissue sections were cut in the sagittal plane through the mandibular condyle and were processed for in situ hybridization and immunostaining of type X collagen. Results: The peak of type X collagen protein expression in 24-hour experimental groups appeared on day 21 which was on the top of all experimental groups, while in 12-hour experimental groups it was found on day 30. The results of in situ hybridization were basically in agreement with the results of immunostaining. Conclusion: Both intermittent and continuous mandibular advancement can provoke endochondral ossification in young adult rat condylar, while 24-hour ones can produce more obvious and quicker effect.

Objective To evaluate the clinical features in patients with pre- or post-operation epilepsy, and to explore the relationship of secondary epilepsy and craniocerebral operations. Methods The patients involved in present study were admitted and underwent the craniocerebral operations in the General Hospital of PLA from Jun.1999 to Feb.2008. The clinical data of epilepsy occurred at pre- or post-operation were retrospectively analyzed. All the 186 patients were divided into the pre-operation epilepsy group(Group A, n=90 ) and the post-operation epilepsy group(Group B, n=96). Based on a standardized questionnaire, a database was established with Microsoft Access 2007 including the primary etiological factor, the location of epileptogenic focus, the seizure frequency, the seizure type, and the abnormal electroencephalogram (EEG). Results Intracranial tumor and cerebrovascular malformation were the main primary etiological factors in group A, and intracranial tumor, cerebral trauma, cerebrovascular malformation and acute cerebral apoplexy were the main primary etiological factors in group B. The four main primary etiological factors for seizures were discovered in significant difference between group A and group B(?2=45.857 3,P=0.000 0). Cranial computed tomography(CT) or nuclear magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) detected that the most locations of epileptogenic focus were in frontal lobe(31.8% in group A and 29.5% in group B), temporal lobe(30.7% in group A and 26.3% in group B), and parietal lobe(17.0% in group A and 24.2% in group B). The frequency of seizure was significantly decreased in group A(?2=11.313 3,P=0.010 1), and was increased in group B(?2=77.080 3,P=0.000 0). The quantity of abnormal EEG for focal epilepsy was significantly decreased in group A(?2=9.773 4,P=0.007 5), but the increasing quantity of abnormal EEG was not significant in group B(?2=4.366 0,P=0.112 7). No significant difference in seizure type was proved after the craniocerebral operations in group A(?2=0.214 3,P=0.643 4). Campared with the post-operation epilepsy group, the location of epileptogenic focus did not show significant distinction in the pre-operation epilepsy group(?2=1.772 2,P=0.777 6). Conclusions Craniocerebral operation is an effective therapy for the secondary epilepsy with certain epileptogenic focus, and it is one of the definite causes of secondary epilepsy.

The PBL teaching and the case teaching have begun to be applied to the course of health economics, which has strong adaptability to the two teaching methods. Two teaching methods not only have the same characteristics, such as diversified teaching, outstanding students as the main body, paying atten-tion to the theory and practice, emphasizing on the comprehensive use of knowledge, but also have different characteristics, such as teaching idea, applied range and points of focus. These similar characteristics and differences are reflected in the development of health economics course. Based on the differences and simi-larities of the two teaching methods and further integration of the characteristics of health economics, this paper puts forward the countermeasures to optimize the application of the two teaching methods in health economics course.

ObjectivesTo study the treatment timing and method of glucocorticoids in the treatment of abdominal type Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura (HSP).MethodsA total of 201 children with abdominal type HSP hospitalized from September 2009 to April 2013 received either conventional glucocorticoids treatment or rapid titration treatment of glucocorticoids based on the same basic therapy. According to the treatment timing and method of glucocorticoids, all patients were divided into 4 groups including early convention group (n=46), late convention group (n=44), early titration group (n=56) and late titration group (n=55). The duration from the appearance of gastrointestinal symptoms to using glucocorticoids less than or equal to three days was deifned as early treatment and more than three days was deifned as late treatment. The patients in two convention groups (early and late) were treated with methylprednisolone (2-6mg/kg per day).The patients in two titration groups (early and late) received rapid titration of methylprednisolone from an initial low dose of 2mg/kg per day to the ifnal target dose. The gastrointestinal symptoms were evaluated every 12 hours. If the gastrointestinal symptoms were not alleviated, an additional dosage of methyl-prednisolone was given. On the next day, the total dose of methylprednisolone in previous 24 hours was used as the initial dose. The dosage was increased in such a way till the gastrointestinal symptoms disappeared and this dosage was remained for 3 days. Then the dosage was gradually reduced to the maintenance dose and stopped. If the gastrointestinal symptoms were relapsed, the patients were treated again. A follow-up of 3-6 months was performed. The dosage, recurrence of symptoms and the side effects were compared among four groups.ResultsThe time of remission, target dose of glucocorticoids, total dose of glucocorticoids, recurrence rate, incidence of severe symptoms and Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis were signiifcantly different among four groups (P<0.05). The curative effect was best in early titration group and worst in late convention group.ConclusionsIn the treatment of abdominal type HSP, early titration treatment with glucocorticoids can signiifcantly relieve the gastrointestinal symp-toms and reduce the total dosage of glucocorticoids.
