Objective To investigate the effect of different investing materials on the complete denture flasking deformation.Methods The denture wax casts were invested by plaster,dental stone,and dental stone together with silicone,respectively.8 trial dentures were randomly chosen from above each group,and 4 reference points were selected in the cast.The conventional water bath polymerization system was used for the process.The distance between reference points were measured before and after thermally processing the Acrylic base.F test and Kruskal-Wallis H test were applied for statistical analysis.Results The distance between A and B (F =3.768,P =0.040) and the mean of total distance among O,A,B and C(F =4.830,P =0.019) had statistically significant differences among the three groups.The deformation variance of Group 1 (a conventional plaster) between 175μm and 267μm was maximum.The deformation values of Group2 (a dental stone) was appropriate with Group3 (a dental stone + a silicone).Smoothness (x2 =17.575,P ＜ 0.01) was statistically different among the three groups.Conclusion The flaskingprocess with the plaster had the maximum movement.The process with dental stone showed the minimal toothmovement,the process with the dental stone along with with thesilicone caused a similar movement as from the single dental stone but resulted in a smoother denture surface.

Objective To study the reproductive outcome of infertile women suffered from hydrosalpinx treated by laparoscopic salpingostomy or salpingectomy.Methods There were 77 infertile women diagnosed hydrosalpinx by HSG or B ultrasonography and excepted for other infertile factors. Unilateral or bilateral salpingostomy or salpingectomy was performed after hydrosalpinx conifrmed by laparoscopy. Seventy seven patients were followed up for 1 ~ 4 years postoperatively.Results Among 77 cases 39 cases (50.65%) got pregnancy. Thirteen cases (16.88%) conceived spontaneously and 26 cases (33.77%) conceived by IVF-ETin. Thirty ifve cases delivered health babies and 3 cases of pregnancy, 1 cases of early abortion.Conclusion Both laparoscopic surgeries were effective treatment of hydrosalpinx results in infertility. After operation the pregnant rate of those conceived by IVF-ET is higher than spontaneously.

Objective: To study the mechanism of Gengnianle Water-paste Pills in resisting climacteric aging. Methods: Rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group, high and low dosage groups of Gengnianle, positive control group. The climacteric rat model were established by ectomizing the bilateral ovaries. The E2, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), triiodothyronine (T3), thyroid hormone (T4), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) were detected. Results: Compared with model group, in high dose of Gengnianle group, the levels of E2, T3, T4 increased and the levels of FSH, LH, TSH reduced. The effect of high dose of Gengnianle in improving the adjustment function of the thalamus-hypophysis-ovary axis and the thalamus- hypophysis-thyroid gland axis is better than that of positive control group (P

Objective To detect the effect of osthole on proliferation and apoptosis of HL-60 cells and its molecular mechanism.Methods HL-60 cells proliferation was measured through the CCK8 assay method.The cell morphological changes were observed by Hoechst33342 staining after 8 h of drug effect.Induction of apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry and fluorescent microscopy.Expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax mRNA were evaluated by RT-PCR,and the expressions of cleaved caspase-3,caspase-8,caspase-9,Fas and FasL were evaluated by using western bolt assay.Results Osthole could inhibit the proliferation of HL-60 cells,the maximum inhibiting rate was (90.7 ±4.5)％,F =138.46,P =0.000; the apoptosis rate was 33.6％,F =27.75,P =0.006.The changes of apoptosis of cells and nucleus were shown in cell morphological observation.Osthole affected the decrease of the mRNA levels of Bcl-2 and the increase of the Bax mRNA levels via a dosedependent manner(F =210.12,P =0.000).Western blotting demonstrated that osthole could lead to the increase of the expression levels of cleaved caspase-3,caspase-8,caspase-9,Fas and FasL in the HL-60 cell line via a time-dependent manner.Conclusion Data suggests that osthole inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of HL-60 cells through mitochondria-dependent pathway and death-receptor pathway.

Aim To observe the effects of cytokine signaling inhibition protein-3(SOCS3) on the liver fibrosis progression and reverse.Methods C57BL/6 mouse model was established by subcutaneous injection of carbon tetrachloride(CCl4).After a successful model of fibrosis, one-month normal diet was given to induce the reverse fibrosis model, while normal mice of the same gender and weight were as control group.Mice were sacrificed at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 weeks, respectively, then the liver tissue was harvested for the observation of its injury by hematoxylin and eosin(HE) staining.Then Masson staining was applied for the detection of changes in collagen, and the immunohistochemistry(IHC) for the observation of type Ⅰ Collagen(Colla-1), alpha smooth muscle actin(α-SMA), transforming growth factor beta 1(TGF-β1) and SOCS3 protein expression.In vitro formation of fibrosis was induced by TGF-β1 stimulating HSC-T6 cell lines, which was then reversed by MDI medium, with co-incubation of HSC-T6 cells with plasmid in the process of the reverse.Western blot was employed to detect SOCS3, Colla-1, α-SMA, TGF-β1 expression.Results The expression of SOCS3 and TGF-β1 increased in mouse model of fibrosis with the worsening fibrosis process and decreased in the reverse process.Over-expression SOCS3 in the reverse process reduced the development of liver fibrosis;meanwhile, the expression of TGF-β1 was also reduced accordingly.Conclusion SOCS3 may influence the development of the liver fibrosis and its reverse via regulating the expression of TGF-β1.

Background Fungal keratitis is one of primary infectious ocular diseases in China.Conventional diagnostic method is fungal cultivation.In vivo laser confocal microscope is a noninvasive examination of ocular surface.However,the study on features of in vivo laser confocal microscope images of frequent fungal keratitis is still not thorough.Objective This study was to analyze laser confocal microscope imaging features of four typical fungal keratitis.Methods The clinical data of 65 eyes from 65 patients with fungal keratitis were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were initially diagnosed in Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Command PLA from January 2007 to November 2011, and laser confocal microscope examination of ocular surface and fungal cultivation were performed.The characteristics of laser confocal microscope images were investigated,including shape and type of hypha,distribution of spores and the relationship of hypha with lesion.The differentiation between fungal hypha and other corneal tissues was summarized.Results Fungal cultivation showed that among the 65 patients,Fusarium,Aspergillus,Candida and Alternaria were common pathogenic fungus with the infected proportion 63.0％ , 16.9％,3.0％ and 4.6％ ,respectively, and 12.5％ patients were infected by other fungus.In the images of laser confocal microscope,hyphae of Fusarium presented the branch-like high reflective structure in the corneal superficial stromal layer and thinning line shape in the deep stromal layer.Few inflammatory cells were found.The peudohyphae and spores from Candida were seen in corneal superficial and mid stroma layers, with few inflammatory cells and many proliferating stromal fibers in the lesions.The hyphae of Aspergillus presented worm-like, showing the thinner and shorter shapes in comparison with those of Candida.The hyphae of Alternaria were long,straight and thick in shape,and spherical chlamydospores were found on the hyphal tip.The hyphae, subepithelial plexus, dendritic cells, fibrosis of the cornea all showed high reflection under the laser confocal microscope, but evidently differences appeared in shape,distribution and course in corneas.Conclusions Hyphae are the main basis to diagnose fungal keratitis and differentiate fungi.As a non-invasive examination method,laser confocal microscope can provide useful information for the early diagnosis and treatment of fungal keratitis in vivo.
