1.Application of Raman spectroscopy in the stomatology.
West China Journal of Stomatology 2015;33(2):214-217
Raman spectroscopy is an optical technology based on the theory of Raman scattering, which is generally used in the research of medical and biological science. Raman spectroscopy can be used to detect the molecular structures and components of proteins, lipids, DNA, and other biological molecules, and provide substantial information about molecules. Thus, Raman spectroscopy is generally considered a "molecular fingerprint", and it has exceptional advantages in medical research. Moreover, this technique can reflect the changes in molecular structures and detect the alterations of chemical constituents in the samples. Raman spectroscopy, given its high sensitivity and specificity in the detection of the biological samples, has been successfully used to detect and diagnose diseases in numerous sites, such as skin, oral mucosa, breast, head, and neck. In this paper, we introduce the application of Raman spectroscopy in stomatology by conducting a review of the literature.

Objective To assess the feasibility and advantage of systematic transperineal ultrasound guided template prostate biopsy. Methods In a prospective study, a total of 1270 patients(26 -90 year old,mean age 70. 4) who met the inclusion criteria underwent 11 regions systematic transperineal ultrasound guided template prostate biopsy. The median PSA level was 12. 96 ng/ml(range 0. 25000. 0 ng/ml) and the mean prostate volume was 53. 6 ml(range 7-200 ml). Results Prostate cancer was detected in 486 of 1270(38. 3%). The prostate cancer detection rate in group with PSA 0-4.0, 4. 1-10. 0, 10. 1-20. 0, 20. 1-40.0, 40. 1-60.0, 60. 1-100.0、and> 100. 0 ng/ml groups was 21.9%(16/73 )、16.6%(67/ 403)、30.7% (122/397)、46. 7%(77/165)、68. 3%(41/60)、86.2% (46/54) 、99.2% (117/118), respectively . While cancer detection rate in group with prostate volumes less than 20, 21-40, 41-60, 61-80 and great than 80 ml was 72. 1%(49/68 )、55. 6%(234/421) 、32.5%(136/418)、23.3%(48/206)、12. 1%、(19/157). The mean positives for the cancer of regions 1- 10 and region 11 (the apical region) were 35.3% vs. 44.8% in patients whose PSA<20ng/ml(P<0. 05). The positives for cancer within the right lobe and left lobe were 70. 8% vs. 74.2%(P>0.05)and the positives for cancer within the anterior and posterior parts were 79. 4% vs. 86. 8%(P>0. 05). No serious complication occurred during the procedure. Conclusions Systematic transperineal ultrasound guided template prostate biopsy could be accurate and safe. Prostate carcinoma foci are more frequently localized in the apical region in patients with PSA <20 ng/ml. Special attention should be paid to the apical region during the process of biopsy.

Objective The purpose of this study was to improve the clinical results of the treatment firearm injury to maxillofacial-cervical region, so as to raise the life quality of these patients. Methods Based on the study of the anatomical study of this region, different methods were adopted to reconstruct various maxillofacial-cervial firearms injuries. Three methods were adopted to reconstruct the mandibular region by early bone transplantation to the defects of the mandible in diffferent regions. In patients with combined defects of the mandible and soft tissue, the defects were repaired by transplantation of vascular pedicle graft with muscle and nerve or free tissue transplantation to restore function. Results The survival-rate of early bone transplantation was 91.52%(54/59). The rate of function restoration was 90.72%(88/97) in cases of tissue flap grafting. Conclusions Applied anatomy is the basic of design new surgery method. Tne new developed surgery methods can improve clinical cured effect of maxillofacial-neck region firearms injure.

Objective To understand the distribution and drug resistance of pathogens causing catheter related bloodstream in‐fection (CRBSI) to provide reference for clinical treatment .Methods The distribution and drug resistance of pathogens isolated from the central venous catheter from January 2011 to June 2015 were retrospectively analyzed .Results Among 731 submitted samples ,38 cases were CRBSI ,with the positive rate of 5 .3% ,in which ,the Gram‐positive cocci accouted for 26 .3% of isolated bacteria and dominated by Staphylococcus epidermidis (13 .2% ) ,moreover which was MRSE .MRSA and VRE were not detected . Gram‐negative bacilli accounted for 73 .7% of isolated bacteria and dominated by Acinetobacter baumannii (42 .1% ) ,which was most sensitive to amikacin with the sensitivity rate of 87 .5% .Conclusion Acinetobacter baumannii is most common pathogen in CRBSI with serious drug resistance ,therefore the operating should be standardized in clinical work for controlling infection .

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of cryptotanshinone on different maturation stages of Staphylococcus epidermidis (S.epidermidis) biofilm.Methods The biofilm model of S.epidermidis was constructed in vitro, the timing of adhesion, accumulating, and maturation was determined;matrix quantity, bacterial metabolism, microstructure of biofilm were detected with semi-quantitative adhesion test, XTT assay, and scanning electron microscope(SEM) respectively.Results The timing of adhesion, accumulating, and maturation of S.epidermidis biofilm were 6h, 24h,and 48h respectively;in adhesion period, cryptotanshinone at the concentration of 128μg/mL and 32μg/mL could both obviously reduce the matrix and kill bacteria inside biofilm, difference was statistically significant(P<0.05),inhibitory effect of 128μg/mL cryptotanshinone was better than 32μg/mL (P<0.05), the microstructure was destroyed by both concentrations.During accumulating and mature period, only cryptotanshinone at 128μg/mL could reduce the matrix of biofilm and kill bacteria inside biofilm (P<0.05), the microstructure was damaged by cryptotanshinone at concentration of 128μg/mL, while 32g/mL of cryptotanshinone had no obvious inhibitory effect(P>0.05).Conclusion Cryptotanshinone has a certain inhibitory effect on different stages of S.epidermidis biofilm, and there is a certain dose effect.

AIM: To investigate the refractive distribution and analysis risk factors for aircrew ametropia.
METHODS: The number of 49 cases with ametropia from 1031 aircrew during May 2013 to May 2014 were reviewed. Various types of refraction composition, age, type, position, time of flight with the subjective assessment of aircrew were analyzed and compared.
RESULTS:Of 49 cases, 43 cases (88%) were myopia, 6 cases ( 12%) were hypermetropia. , Detection rates were higher in age over 50 years aircrew and flight time more than 3000h. Detection rates were lower in self-conscious symptom heavy aircrew, fighter aircrew and good habit of using eyes.
CONCLUSION: The myopia incidence in aircrew with age >50 years and long flight time is higher, than that of fighter pilots and good habit of using eyes. We should pay attention to the increasing late-onset myopia of aviators and habit of using eyes, work intensity and time of using eyes about aircrew.
