Journal of Practical Stomatology 2001;0(01):-
Objective:To study the difference of upper airway form and hyoid position of the adults with different vertical facial types.Methods:Cephalograms of 120 adults with different vertical facial types were retrospectively investigated by computerized cephalometric analysis.Upper airway depths and hyoid position were measured,and differences were compared between male and female,also compared among different vertical facial type groups.Results:The sagittal depth of upper airway in male was larger than that in female,but there was no statistical difference except V-LPW.Among different vertical facial types,the sagittal depths of upper airway in high angle group was smaller than that in average angle group and low angle group.There was statistical difference in hyoid position between genders,AH-SN,AH-FH and AH-C3 in male were larger than in female(P
3.Role of estrogen receptor alpha in adipocytes differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells
Journal of Practical Stomatology 2009;25(6):794-797
Objective; To elucidate the mechanism of the role of ER-a in fat metabolism by regulating the expression of ER-a in SD rats marrow mesenchymal stem cells during differentiating into adipocytes in vitro. Methods ;SD rats marrow mesenchymal stem cells were separated and cultivated. The ER-a was transfected into the rBMSCs in group one. Tamoxifen Citrate was used to restrain the expression of ER-a in group two, the group without any treatment was used as control. Western blot was used to identify the difference of ER-a expression among different groups and Oil-Red-0 staining was employed to identify the adipocytes in vitro. Results; There was significant difference between the number of lipids and different groups (P <0. 01) ,the number of lipid droplet changed concomitantly with ER-a: Low-expression ER-a group > Control group > High-expression ER-a group. Conclusion; ER-a in SD rats marrow mesenchymal stem cells may restrain the adipocyte differentiation.
4.Relation of condylar morphology with different vertical facial types in the development of patients with skeletal Ⅲ malocclusions
Journal of Practical Stomatology 2000;0(06):-
Objective: To study the relation of condylar morphology with different vertical facial types in the development of patients with skeletal Ⅲ malocclusions. Methods:180 cases with skeletal Ⅲ malocclusion were divided into children(5-11 years old), adolescence(12-17 years old) and adult(18-30 years old) groups with 60 cases in each group. Orthopantomograms of the patients with different vertical facial types were retrospectively investigated by computerized cephalometric analysis. Condylar morphology were compared among different age groups of the same vertical facial type. Results:In patients with high angle, ramus height(RH) was getting bigger with ageing(P0.05). In patients with low angle h and RH in adult group were bigger than those in adolescence or in children(P

One of the most promising antimalarial drugs which are widely used throughout the world is the artemisinin (ARS)and its derivatives,e.g.,artemether,arteether,and artesunate.Their true potential lies in broader anti-disease applications.The mechanism of action of these compounds appears to involve the endoperoxide bridge to produce carbon-centred free radicals.Large clinical studies did not show serious side effects,however,there is a paucity of large-scale clinical trials suitable to detect rare but significant toxicity.Therefore,a final and definitive statement on the safety of artemisinins still cannot be made.In contrast,animal experiments at high doses shown considerable toxicity upon application of artemisinins.In the present review,the authors give a comprehensive overview on toxicity studies in cell culture and in animals (mice,rats,rabbits,dogs,and monkeys)as well as on toxicity reported in human clinical trials.The authors emphasize the current knowledge on neurotoxicity,embryotoxicity, genotoxicity,hemato-and immunotoxicity and cardiotoxicity.Rapid elimination of artemisinins after oral intake represents a relatively safe route of administration compared to delayed drug release after intra-muscular (im ) injection. There are drug-related differences, i.e., intramuscular application of artemether or arteether,but not to artesunate,which is safe and gives good profiles after im administra-tion in severe malaria.It might also be important in determining dose limitations for treatment of other diseases such as cancer.Questions about dosing regimens,safety of long-term use and possible inter-actions with existing therapies and toxicities that might be related to the treatment of tumors should be answered by appropriate clinical and preclinical studies.
7.Development of a nano-TiO_2 ceramic-coated orthodontic bracket
Journal of Practical Stomatology 1996;0(02):-
Objective:To develop nano-TiO_2 ceramic-coated orthodontic brackets, and to study the surface characters of ceramic film. Methods:TiO_2 nanoparticles were synthesized by the Gel-Sol method. Electron beam physical vapor deposition(e-beam PVD)technology was used to deposit the nano-TiO_2 ceramic film on the surface of the orthodontic brackets, which were manufactured by the Xinya factory, Hangzhou.The surface properties of the nano-TiO_2 ceramic film were observed with scanning electron microscopy(SEM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and X ray power diffraction(XRD).Results:The synthesized TiO_2 particles were uniform with the diameter of (6?2) nm. The TiO_2 ceramic film on the orthodontic brackets was 5~8 ?m in thickness, with smooth surface and anatase stratiform structure.Conclusions:The nano- TiO_2 ceramic film has good surface properties and actinochemistry characters without any influence on the slot size.

Objective: To study stress distribution and displacement by different distract directioos on mandibular corpus with finite element method. Methods:A three-dimensional finite element model of mandibular distraction osteogenesis was established.Von Mises stress as well as the displac ement of gnathion and gonion under different loads were measured. Result s:The stress and displacement were positively related with distract forc e. Von Mises stress primarily accumulated in distracted areas and were higher un der bilateral distraction parallel to the occlusial plane. Gnathion and gonion w ere positively displaced on X and Z axes and negatively displaced on Y axis. Distraction parallel to the mandibular body induced positive displaceme nt of mandible on X and Y axes and negative on Z axis. Concl usion:Transversal displacement to the opposite side is greater during un ilateral distraction, while displacement on the saggittal plane is greater durin g bilateral distraction.

Objective: To construct DNA vaccine against C region gene of SARS-CoV S protein, and observe the immune response induced by DNA vaccine injection and mucosal immunization. Methods: A recombinant DNA vaccine plasmid was constructed by cloning Sc gene fragment into pcDNA3. 1( - ) ,which could induce anti-SARS-CoV specific antibodies in mouse. After mice immunized with the recombinant DNA vaccine by injection and mucosal immunization, the SARS-CoV antibodies in the sera of mice were detected by ELISA,the lymphocyte phenotypes were detected by FCM,the specific antigen expressed in tissues was detected with immuno histochemical analysis. Detect spleen and MLN lymphocyte proliferation and CD8+ CTL response in vitro. Results: The titer of anti-Sc IgG was much higher in the mouse injected pcDNA3. 1-Sc than that of control group (P
