Objective To evaluate the diagnostic and differential diagnotic values of DSA features for inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver(IPL). Methods An retrospectively comparative analysis of 12 hepatic inflammatory pseudotumors confirmed surgicopathologically from May 2002 to March 2007 with DSA features and correlative imaging data were carried out. Results 10 cases consisted of only 1 lesion and other 2 cases with multiple lesions were opacified initially at the late arterial phase,with prominent peripheral ring-like staining at portovenous and parenchymal phases and less dense opacification in the central region; furthermore heterogenous staining occurred in 5 cases. Conclusions DSA is probable the most appropriate method for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of hepatic inflammatory pesudotumor.

Objective To study the protective effect of Tripterygium wilfordii polycoride (TWP) against TNBS/ethanol-induced ulcerative colitis (UC) rat model. Methods TNBS and ethanol enema were adopted to build TNBS/ethanol-induced UC rat model. Ninety male Wistar rats were divided into six groups: normal, model, low-, medium-, high-dose TWP and azathioprine (AZA) groups, each for 15 rats. All rats were administered by corresponding medicine for 14 d. After 14 d, corresponding colon tissues underwent general and microscopic evaluation. Blood samples were taken from heart and serum was separated by centrifugation. MDA, SOD, GSH, IL-1β and TNF-α levels in serum were tested by ELISA. Colonic samples underwent RT-PCR and Western blotting analysis. Results DAI, general and microscopic evaluation all showed that TWP could promote colonic mucosa healing and such effect was equal to AZA. ELISA results about lipid peroxidation indicated that TWP could decrease MDA level and increase SOD and GSH levels in a dose-dependent manner. TWP with high dose could strongly decrease the MDA level and increase the SOD and GSH levels (P < 0.01). ELISA results about inflammatory cytokines indicated that TWP could inhibit the expression of IL-1β and TNF-α in a dose-dependent manner. Western blotting analysis and RT-PCR all indicated that no matter in mRNA level or protein level, TWP could inhibit the expression of NF-κB, TNF-α IL-1β and IFN-γ in a dose-dependent manner. The inhibitory effect of AZA towards NF-κB was slightly weaker than TWP with high dose (P > 0.05), whereas slightly stronger towards terminal inflammatory cytokines (P > 0.05). Conclusion TWP could significantly lower the infiltration of inflammatory cells under microscope, eventually led to mucosa healing, the mechanism of which was to inhibit lipid peroxidation, then further inhibit NF-κB activation, eventually lower the expression of inflammatory meditors locally and systemically.

As a new therapy in past twenty years,biological agents have been approved for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However,biological agents currently used for IBD treatment require intravenous or subcutaneous injections,and some require infusion under close observation. Therefore,it is of positive clinical significance to find a safe and effective oral biological agent. This article reviewed recent advances in study on novel oral biological agents in the treatment of IBD.

Objective To explore the histocompatibility and plasticitity of hydroxyapatite/high-density polyethylene composite (HMPE). Design Experimental study. Participants Forty-five rabbits. Methods Rabbits were randomly devided into HA/PE, HA and PE surgical groups, every group included 15 rabbits. Osteoeetomy of orbital rim and implantation (HA/PE, HA and PE materials were used) were performed on 3 groups of the rabbits. At 1st week, 4th week, 8th week, 12th week and 24th week of postoperation, we took out the samples from the rabbits separately in each group and did histopathologic and electron microscope examinations. Main Outcome Measures Physical signs of the implant combination with the bone. The bone cell appeared in the implants. Results After 12 weeks, the calcium salts deposit like bone plate with some osteoblast inside the HA/PE implants was observed. After 8 weeks, the calci- um salts deposit inside the HA plants was observed. In the PE implants, nothing could be seen but some fibrous connective tissue. Conclusion HMPE is an ideal repair material especially for orbital bone.

OBJECTIVEThis work lays the foundation for establishing a digital model database with normal occlusion. A digital dental cast is acquired through grating projection, and model features are measured through reverse engineering.

METHODSThe grating projection system controlled by a computer was projected onto the surface of a normal dental model. Three-dimensional contour data were obtained through multi-angle shooting. A three-dimensional model was constructed, and the model features were analyzed by using reverse engineering. The digital model was compared with the plaster model to determine the accuracy of the measurement system.

RESULTSThe structure of three-dimensional reconstruction model was clear. The digital models of two measurements exhibited no significant difference (P > 0.05). When digital and plaster models were measured, we found that the crown length and arch width were not statistically different (P > 0.05), whereas the difference between the crown width and arch length was statistically significant (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe reconstruction of a digital model by using the grating projection technique and reverse engineering can be used for dental model measurement in clinic al and scientific research and can provide a scientific method for establishing a digital model database with normal occlusion.
