Objective:To investigate effects of the modified adhesion retention on the surrounding tissues of dental implant.Methods:182 patients with tooth defects were randomly divided into 2 groups,The patients in control group (n =89) received the traditional retention,in the test group(n =93) received modified adhesion retention.The bone loss at the near and far edges of the implant,alveolar bone height and thickness,the pictorial view of pink esthetic score variables(PES),the modified plaque index(mPLI),the modified sulcus bleeding index (mSBI) and the satisfaction were recorded and compared 1 year after treatment.Results:Compared with control group,the test group showed less bone loss(P＜0.05),more alveolar bone height and thickness(P＜0.05).The satisfaction of the comfort,chewing and language function,retention,esthetics,PES,mPLI and mSBI improved to varying degrees(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The modified adhesion retention is more effective than the traditional retention in stabilizing the bone support of implant and reduce bacterial infection.

Objective To establish a method for the preparation of long-circulating liposomes (LCL) containing etoposide and to observe its stability in rats plasma.Methods The etoposide-containing liposome was prepared by ethanol injection method. Polyethylene glycol-distearoyl phosphatidylethanolamine (PEG2000-DSPE) was used to modify the membrane of the liposome. Reversed-phase high pressure liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) was used to detect the concentration of the liposome,and dynamic release method was used to study its stability in mice plasma.Results The mean size of the LCL containing etoposide was (180?26) nm,and the mean concentration of etoposide was (4.78?0.22) mg/mL,with the entrapment efficiency being (88.71?8.2)%. The leakage ratio of the conventional liposome containing etoposide and LCL containing etoposide in mice plasma were (80.14?1.59)% and (46.72?2.61)%,respectively.Conclusion LCL containing etoposide with high entrapment efficiency and low leakage rate can be obtained by using ethanol injection method. Additionally,modification by PEG2000-DSPE could raise the stability of the liposome.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and hemorrhagic transformation (HT) after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Methods:Patients with AIS received intravenous thrombolysis using standard dose alteplase in the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from January 2014 to December 2019 were enrolled retrospectively. Head CT scan was performed within 24 h after thrombolytic therapy to identify the occurrence of HT. The demographic and baseline clinical data were compared between the HT group and the non-HT group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the correlation between LDL-C and HT after thrombolysis. Results:A total of 323 patients with AIS who received intravenous thrombolytic therapy were enrolled, their age was 65±12 years (range, 54-78 years), and 219 were males (67.8%). The median baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 4 (interquartile range, 3-9). Ninety one patients (28.17%) developed HT, of which 8 (2.48%) had symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in LDL-C, age, baseline NIHSS score, baseline systolic and diastolic blood pressure, baseline fibrin degradation products, and the proportion of patients with atrial fibrillation and stroke etiology between the HT group and the non-HT group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that lower LDL-C (odds ratio [ OR] 0.531, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 0.358-0.788; P=0.002), higher baseline NIHSS score ( OR 1.063, 95% CI 1.010-1.120; P=0.020) and higher baseline systolic blood pressure ( OR 1.015, 95 CI 1.004-1.026; P=0.008) were the independent risk factors for HT after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with AIS. Conclusions:Low LDL-C is an independent risk factor for HT in patients with AIS after intravenous thrombolysis. The patients with lower LDL-C should be cautious in lipid-lowering therapy and be alert to the occurrence of HT.

Objective To analysis the clinical features of dorsal pancreas agenesis ( DPA) and the associated diabetes, pancreatitis and other congenital organ malformations.Methods Chinese databases of Sinomed, CQVIP and CNKI using the term of short pancreas, pancreas agenesis, bulbar pancreas and dorsal pancreas, and English databases of PubMed using the term of dorsal pancreas agenesis, short pancreas and pancreas hypoplasia were searched.The clinical manifestation, pancreatic head characteristics and associations with diabetes, pancreatitis and other congenital organ malformations were analyzed.Results Six related publications from Chinese databases were searched and 21 patients were included with 2 cases excluded.Sixty-one publications from English database were searched and 71 patients were included.Thus, a total of 91 patients with DPA were analyzed.Abdominal pain was the most common manifestation, which was reported by 61.5% of the patients. 15.3% patients were identified during regular physical examination. Other manifestations including jaundice, fatigue, abdominal discomfort and diabetes were rare.After removing cases with insufficient information, 39 patients (61.9%) carried abnormal pancreatic head.Prevalence of diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance was 56.7% and the percentage of insulin-dependent diabetes in patients with abnormal glycaemia was 47.3%(n=18).20 patients (26.7%) were associated with pancreatitis, including 15 patients (75.0%) with acute pancreatitis, 1 patient (5.0%) with recurrent pancreatitis, and 4 patients (20.0%) with chronic pancreatitis. Thirty-three patients ( 36.2%) suffered other congenital organ malformations, including 21 patients (63.6%) with splenic malformation, 8 patients (24.2%) with heart malformation, and 17 patients (51.5%) with multi-organs malformations like gastrointestinal malformation, azygos vein and inferior cava vena fusion, duodenal and biliary atresia and renal absence.Conclusions The main diagnostic criteria of DPA was the absence of dorsal pancreatic duct.Diabetes was the most common complication followed by pancreatitis.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application value of reflectance confocal microscopy(RCM) in the diagnosis of several common diseases manifesting as papules in children, including lichen nitidus, verruca planae, lichen striatus, milium, molluscum contagiosum and lichen pilaris. Methods A total of 579 children clinically characterized by papules were recruited into this study. RCM was used to observe lesions and perilesional normal skin. The RCM features of 6 diseases manifesting as papules were analyzed and compared. Results Based on RCM images, 236 patients were diagnosed with lichen nitidus, 70 with verruca planae, 123 with lichen striatus, 40 with milium, 53 with molluscum contagiosum and 57 with lichen pilaris. All the 6 diseases had typical RCM features. Concretely speaking, RCM images of lichen nitidus lesions showed infiltration of dense inflammatory cells and melanophages in enlarged dermal papillae. In RCM images of verruca planae lesions, cells in the granular and spinous layers were arranged in concentric circles, giving a rose cluster?like appearance. RCM images of lichen striatus lesions revealed focal swelling of stratum spinosum, absent or local liquifaction degeneration of basal cells, and clustering of a moderate number of inflammatory cells in the superficial dermis. In RCM images of milium lesions, well?circumscribed round or oval structures containing highly but nonuniformly refractive materials could be seen in the dermis. RCM images of molluscum contagiosum lesions showed intact cystoid structures containing highly refractive molluscum bodies. Lowly to moderately refractive cutin ? like materials were observed along with the dilation of hair follicle infundibula in RCM images of lichen pilaris lesions. In RCM images, the 6 diseases were distinguished mainly based on structural features(patterns and refractivity)of skin lesions shown by continuous vertical scanning. Conclusion RCM is of great value to the diagnosis of diseases manifesting as papules in children.

Objective To explore the effect of mobile phone-based health education on independent living ability of postoperative patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods Sixty patients with postoperative hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage who underwent craniotomy in our hospital during March 2016 and December 2017 were divided into experimental and control groups, 30 cases in each group, according to the random number table method. Functional training conducted during hospitalization in both groups. After discharge, the control group used a telephone for follow-ups every 2 weeks and took part in a face-to-face training in the first month to implement continuous nursing intervention for a total of 3 months. After discharge, in the experimental group, various information forms of rehabilitation training for hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage were comprehensively integrated, and mobile phone education was used for a total of 3 months in addition to the training as in the control group. The two groups were compared in terms of independent living ability between the two groups. Result The scores of independent living ability and self-care ability, action ability, metastatic ability, social cognitive ability and communication ability of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P＜0.05). Conclusion The mobile phone-based education can promote the effect of rehabilitation exercise in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage, so as to promote the independent living ability of patients.

Objective To investigate the application value of magnetic-controlled capsule endoscopy (MCE) for gastric diseases in physical examination of asymptomatic population.Methods Data of 211 asymptomatic individuals who received MCE examinations from July 2015 to December 2016 in Changhai Hospital were collected and rctrospectively analyzed.The tolerance and safety of MCE were studied by analyzing the detection rate for the focal lesions and the rate of endoscopy transfer.Results Among 211 patients,the detection rate of the gastric focal lesions was 9.5％ (20/211).The detection rate in male was higher than that in female (P＜0.05).All patients completed MCE examination successfully and no adverse event was reported.Conclusion MCE,a non-invasive endoscopic modality,is safe and better tolerated than conventional endoscopy,and can be used as a promising approach to screening the gastric diseases in asymptomatic population due to high detection rate of these diseases.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of endovascular embolization in the treatment of traumatic carotid cavernous fistula (TCCF) and the influencing factors of outcomes.Methods:Patients with Barrow A type TCCF underwent intravascular embolization in the Department of Neurosurgery, General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from January 2009 to November 2019 were enrolled. They were treated with detachable balloons or Onyx-18 combined with coils via transarterial approach, and clinical and imaging follow-up were performed after operation. Recurrence was defined as a lesion that was completely embolized immediately, but the original fistula was redeveloped during imaging follow-up. The clinical recovery was defined as the disappearance of intracranial vascular murmur, pulsatile exophthalmos, conjunctival hyperemia and edema, the movement of eyeball without disorder and the restoration of vision loss. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for affecting imaging recurrence and clinical recovery. Results:A total of 54 patients with Barrow A type TCCF were enrolled. Their age was 42.5±10.6 years (range, 28-70 years); 36 were male (66.7%). Clinical manifestations: 40 patients (74.1%) had ocular symptoms (exophthalmos, conjunctival congestion, etc.), 35 (64.8%) had intracranial vascular murmur, 36 (66.7%) had visual impairment (decreased vision, visual field defect), 32 (59.3%) had headache, 15 (28.3%) had abducens nerve palsy, and 4 (9.1%) had epistaxis. Fourty-seven patients (87.0%) had superior ophthalmic vein drainage, 19 (35.2%) had superior and inferior petrosal sinus drainage, and 9 (16.7%) had cortical vein drainage. Twenty-eight patients (51.9%) were treated with Onyx-18 combined with coils, and 26 (48.1%) were treated with detachable balloons. After operation, 47 patients (87.0%) were immediately totally embobilized, 4 of them were totally embolized with Onyx-18 and coils after the failure of balloon embolization; 7 patients (13.0%) achieved subtotal embolization. Forty-seven patients (87.0%) recovered after surgery, and the symptoms of 4 patients were better than before admission but the vision did not fully recover (among them, 3 had the symptoms of abducens nerve palsy), 2 had mild hemiplegia, and no patients died after surgery. At postoperative follow-up, 5 (9.3%) recurred, and then they achieved total embolization with Onyx-18 combined with coils. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that subtotal embolization was an independent risk factor for postoperative imaging recurrence (odds ratio 16.63, 95% confidence interval 1.74-159.33; P=0.015), and the presence of cortical venous drainage was an independent risk factor for affecting postoperative clinical recovery (odds ratio 19.08, 95% confidence interval 1.61-226.58; P=0.020). Conclusion:Both of Onyx-18 combined with coils and detachable balloons are safe and effective for the treatment of TCCF. Subtotal embolization is associated with imaging recurrence, and the presence of cortical venous drainage is an independent influencing factor of clinical recovery.

Objective Based on Chinese guidelines for the management of ischemic stroke, a standardized stroke management program was performed to provide intensive education and training for medical physicians, aiming to enhance their knowledge and ability for ischemic stroke prevention and treatment, thereby reducing patients′ in-hospital cost and length of stay, and improving patients′ clinical prognosis. Methods This study was conducted in 20 general hospitals throughout Hainan province. A total of 163 physicians from 20 hospitals involved in the management of stroke patients were trained by highly experienced physicians based on the Chinese guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of acute ischemic stroke 2014 and the Chinese guidelines for secondary prevention of ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack 2014. Prior to and post the standardized stroke management training, the data of 3218 and 3367 patients with ischemic stroke were respectively collected. Quality of life assessments including the Barthel index (BI) and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of all patients were recorded at baseline and after discharge. The length of stay and in-hospital cost were directly collected from the hospital information system. Results Physicians′ knowledge and ability manifested as testing scores were significantly improved after training (78.2 ± 15.5 vs 55.6 ± 10.7, t=69.1, P<0.01). The average length of stay of post-training patients was significantly shorter than that of pre-training patients ((8.7 ± 0.9) vs (11.7 ± 1.5) days, t=97.9, P<0.01). The average in-hospital cost of post-training patients was significantly less than that of pre-training patients ((7681.7 ± 1397.7) vs (11846.2 ± 2514.6) Yuan, t=82.5, P<0.01). Both BI (68.2 ± 3.2 vs 43.5 ± 5.3, t=227.7, P<0.01) and mRS score (2.74±0.51 vs 3.65±0.71, t=59.5, P<0.01) were significantly improved for post-training patients. Multivariate linear regression analysis illustrated that standardized stroke management was negatively associated with in-hospital cost (r=-0.461, P<0.01), length of stay (r=-0.357, P<0.01) and mRS score (r=-0.298, P<0.01), and was positively associated with levels of BI (r=0.376, P<0.01). Conclusion Standardized stroke management program might be a cost-effective choice for the management of ischemic stroke as it reduces the in-hospital cost and improves patients′BI and mRS levels.
