Objective To compare the different accuracy of implant model made by the two types of silicone impressions.Methods Fifteen impressions of standard abutment were made separately by machine-mixed and hand-mixed,then made into super-stone models and the accuracy of the different impressions was compared.Results The two types of silicone impressions showed significant difference of the margin precision,while differences on the height,diameter and the width of abutment shoulder were not found.Conclusions The two methods both have ideal accuracy,but porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations require high accuracy of the model shoulder,which is not suitable to use machine-mixed silicone impression technology,and hand-mixed method can be used in fixed restoration,removable denture and implant level impression.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for clinical rational use of antidiabetic essential medicines. METHODS:Retro-spective analysis was used to sort and analyze the consumption sum,DDDs and DDC of antidiabetic drugs in the outpatient of our hospital from May 1st,2012 to Apr. 30th,2014. RESULTS:The consumption sum and DDDs of insulin and oral antidiabetic drugs had upward trend. The top 3 consumption sum and DDDs of oral antidiabetic drugs were acarbose,metformin and glimepiri-de,and the highest DDDs of insulin was short-acting and premixed recombinant human insulin,all of them were in the National Essential Medicine List (2012 edition);DDDs of Glibenclamide tablets,Glipizide tablets and Chinese patent medicine were rela-tively small;DDC in long-acting insulin analogues was obviously higher than other kinds of insulin. The sales ratio of essential medicines was increased from 10.48% to 67.78% after National Essential Medicine List (2012 edition)carried out. CONCLU-SIONS:The use of antidiabetic drugs in the outpatient of our hospital is basically rational. Acarbose and metformin have the high-est DDDs,and DDDs of insulin analogues grow rapidly.

[Objective] To observe the effects of Oysters, Abalone shel , Concha arcae, Mother-of-pearl, Concha cypraeae, Clamshel , these six testacean TCM on the goiter rats. [Method] 72 healthy SD rats were randomly divided into nine groups:normal group, model group, positive group and six testacean TCM groups. Rats were given daily propylthiouracil (0.15 g·kg-1), continuous modeling for 10d, weighing thyroid wet weight,assaying T3, T4 and TSH contents in serum by ELISA, observing the morphological changes of thyroid under light microscope. [Result] Rats in the model group compared with normal group in-creased the relative weight of thyroid, reduced the content of T3,T4, and there was a significant difference( P<0.01), thyroid fol icular epithelial cellhyperplasia was obvious;compared with the model group, Oysters and Clamshel group made the content of T3,T4 in rat rebound, and there was a significant difference (P<0.05);Oyster and Clamshel group’s thyroid fol icular cellhyperplasia were not obvious, while the hyperplasia had different levels for the other 4 kinds of testacean TCM. [Conclusion] Oysters and Clamshel were better to improve the thyroid function of the goiter model rats.

Construct the engineered Escherischia coli expressing human survivin and identify the expressed human survivin by Westen-blot. The combination activity of Survivin and RhSmac was determined in vitro. L929 cells transferred with Survivin can survive longer than which transferred with BSA.

Objective To observe the risks of hypoxemia after uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).Methods Forty-six ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ male patients with OSAS,aged 30-50 yr,with body mass index 27-33 kg/m2,Mallampati Ⅰ-Ⅳ,underwent UPPP under general anesthesia with propofol and remifentanil.O2 was inhaled for 24 h via a nasal catheter starting from the end of surgery.SpO2 was monitored within 24 h after surgery.Oxygen desaturation index (ODI,hourly average number of desaturation episodes in which the decrease in SpO2 ≥4% and duration ≥ 10 s) and the cumulative time percentage with SpO2 ＜ 90% (CT90) from oximetry were recorded.Results Compared with the baseline value before surgery,ODI and CT90 were significantly decreased at 2 and 2-4 h after extubation and on 1 st night after surgery (11:00 pm-6:00 am) (P ＜ 0.05).ODI and CT90 were significantly lower on 1st night after surgery than at 2 and 2-4 h after extubation (P ＜ 0.05).The rate of ODI abnormalities was 100%,48% and 50% before surgery and at 2 and 2-4 h after extubation,respectively.Compared with the baseline value before surgery,the rate of ODI abnormalities was significantly decreased at 2 and 2-4 h after extubation,while increased on 1 st night after surgery (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the rate of ODI abnormalities between that on 1 st night after surgery and that before surgery (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Although UPPP can significantly improve airway obstruction in patients with OSAS,hypoxemic episodes still occur after surgery,suggesting that UPPP should not be treated as an ambulatory surgery.

Objective To discuss the methods and outcomes of twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence in different stage. Methods From August 2012 to December 2013, 11 cases were diagnosed with twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence (TRAP) by 3d color Doppler ultrasound in the Maternal ang Fetal Medicine Center ,Affiliated Shengjing Hospital, China Medical University, including 3 cases in stageⅠa, 7 in stageⅡa and 1 case in stageⅡb. We performed expected therapy to 3 cases in stageⅠa and 4 cases in stageⅡa [1 case (case 9) in stageⅡa developed to stageⅡb and was terminated by emergency cesarean section], radio frequency ablation (RFA) selective reduction to 3 cases in stage Ⅱa, emergency cesarean section to 1 case in stageⅡb. All cases except case 1,4 took cesarean section to terminate pregnancy and would be followed up on the aspect of infant′s growth. Results (1) 3 cases in stageⅠa were monitored by sequential ultrasound examination, all donors grew normally, in which 2 acardias arised spontaneous cessation of flow and were implemented of cesarean section after the normal period of gestation; 1 case suffered premature rupture of membrane and experienced the natural childbirth at 34 gestation weeks plus 5 days. The survived average labor weight was 2 923 g. (2) In the 7 stage Ⅱa cases, 3 cases were implemented of RFA selective reduction, 2 cases survived and the average labor gestation was 35 weeks plus 1 day and average labor weight was 2 050 g;in 3 expected therapy cases, 1 case suffered premature rupture of membrane at 34 gestation weeks plus 5 days and experienced cesarean section; 1 case was observed for 3 weeks and the donor was stillborn; 1 case progressed to stage Ⅱb and experienced cesarean section at 34 gestation weeks plus 5 days;and 1 case was lost of follow up. (3) For 2 cases of stageⅡb cases, one was progressed from stage Ⅱa during expected therapy; the other one had been already in stage Ⅱb since visiting and experimented an emergency cesarean section, but the neonate died of heart failure two days after labor. (4) 7 survived neonates were followed up, all had a normal condition compared to kids of the same age, except one suffering a congenital heart disease, patent ductus arteriosus and atrial septal defect and whose weight (6 kg at 7 months) was lighter. Conclusions We should make the diagnosis of TRAP as early as soon and choose appropriate therapy according to the stage. According to our research, cases in stage Ⅰa can undergo an expected therapy under a sequential ultrasound examination;cases in stageⅡa can undergo a RFA selective reduction to improve the prognosis of the donor, which can make a good perinatal outcome.

Objective To explore the effect of Buyang Huanwu decoction(BYHWD)on protein kinase B1 (AKT1)and c-Jun amino terminal kinase 1/2(JNK1/2)in rats after focal cerebral ischemia. Methods According to the random number table method,48 Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were randomly allocated to four groups:normal control group,sham-operated group,model group,traditional BYHWD group(each n=12). The rat model of right focal cerebral ischemia was established by the method of middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO). The rats in BYHWD group were ingested with the decoction of BYHWD 14.2 g/kg after 2 hours of the operation(the main ingredients of BYHWD including astragalus mongholicus 120 g,Chinese angelica 6 g,radix paeoniae rubra 4.5 g, rhizoma ligustici wallichii 3 g,safflower 3 g,peach kernel 3 g,earthworm 3 g),once a day for 7 days. Other groups of animals were given the same amount of normal saline orally. After operation,on the 7th day,the animals were killed,and their brains were taken out. The reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)assay was used to detect AKT1 mRNA expression,and immunohistochemical method was applied to measure JNK1/2 protein expression. Results Compared with normal control and sham-operated groups,the level of AKT1 mRNA expression〔absorbance(A)〕was decreased obviously(0.48±0.08 vs. 0.63±0.11,0.61±0.09,both P<0.05),and the number of JNK1/2 positive cells(cell/mm2)was increased significantly(34.13±4.57 vs. 16.15±1.09,16.23±2.05,both P<0.05)in model group;compared with model group,the AKT1 mRNA expression in brain tissue(0.93±0.11)and the number of JNK1/2 positive cells(45.04±5.68)was increased significantly in BYHWD group,the differences being statistically significant(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion BYHWD can up-regulate expressions of AKT1 mRNA and JNK1/2 positive cells in ischemic brain tissue that is one of the mechanisms in the protection of brain.

Perfofinance of the radio-diagnostic system can be evaluated quantitatively by the analysis method of the ROC curve.Areas under the ROC curves represent the diagnostic perfogrmance efficiency.A comparison of the perforrmance variance of the diagnostic system incurred by different diagnosticians,will find the diagnostic competence of individual diagnosticians.This can help hospital management in deploying personnel in the department of radiology reasonably.

Objective To report two cases of familial Gitelman syndrome and literature review regarding the updates of relevant genes,classification,treatment,and prognosis.Methods The clinical data of two sisters with Gitelman syndrome were retrospectively analyzed.Results Their blood pressures were within normal range.Hypokalaemic alkalosis,hypomagnesemia,and hypocalciuria were corrected almost completely after three days of intravenous magnesium and potassium infusion,spirolactone and indometacin.However,the maintenance of normal potassium was unsuccessful over one year.Conclusion Hypokalaemic alkalosis,hypomagnesemia,and hypocalciuria were normalized in Gitelman syndrome.There was some debate in regard to using PGE2 synthetase inhibitors.Tolerance of long-term medication will be the big challenge for curative effect.

Objective To research the important of prenatal diagnosis and effect of intervention to fetal hydrothorax. Methods The cases of fetal hydrothorax (n=5) were obtained from the Shengjing Hospital,China Medical University between December 2014 and May 2015. All pregnancies were uncomplicated, excluded congenital organic and chromosomal abnormalities during prenatal diagnosis and with a 37 average gestational weeks. The case 1, 2, 4 were unilateral hydrothorax and the case 3, 5 were bilateral. We performed an antenatal thracocentesis to case 1, 2, 3. In case1, the hydrothorax increased rapidly after 5 days, and the patient underwent a cesarean section and ex utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT);in case 2, the fetal heart rate was decreased to 40-50 bpm suddenly during thracocentesis, and we performed an emergent cesarean section and EXIT for the patient; in case 3, the patient underwent thracocentesis and a meanwhile cesarean section and EXIT procedure. We performed a conservative management to case 4, 5, the hydrothorax resolved spontaneously during the pregnancy and after birth, both patients underwent cesarean section. Results All fetuses were survived, the neonates of case 1, 2 and 3 underwent assited mechanical ventilation, thoracic close drainage, then discharged after hydrothorax resolved and feeding tolerance;in case 4, there was no respiratory distress and hospital treatment;in case 5, the neonate underwent assited mechanical ventilation and conservative management, the hydrothorax has resolved gradually. Conclusions The prenatal diagnosis and antenatal intervention (thracocentesis) may play an important role in fetal hydrothorax treatment. In clinical, we should choose different plan according to the gestation weeks and classification of hydrothorax of the patient.
