Objective : To investigate the effects of Mini-SG~ F attachment on periodontal health of the abutment teeth in restoring free-end removable partial dentures (RPDs). Methods : The periodontal status of the abutments in restoring free-end RPDs was longitudinally observed with periodontal indices commonly used in clinics, and a group comparison was made using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: The stability and retention of free-end RPDs retained by Mini-SG~ F attachments were excellent during the whole observation course. Compared with the periodontal status of the first and the second abutments before restoration respectively, no significant differences in gingival indices, plaque indices, periodontal probing depth, alveolar bone resorption levels of those were shown 6 months after restoration. The mobility of the abutments was significantly reduced when they were splinted together. Conclusion: Mini-SG~ F attachments used in free-end RPDs have no evident adverse effect on periodontal health of the abutment teeth, and the way of splinting the abutments is advantageous to their long-term health and stability.

The personality abnormality is a remarkable characteristic in schizophrenia. Some evidence to date indicated that there existed measurable scores of personality traits in schizophrenic patients, though the psychotic symptoms were concomitant. The psychotic symptoms were deemed to influence the assessment of personality traits in schizophrenia for the symptoms and personality abnormality were entangled tightly. Yet, it cannot exclude the personality pathology in the psychopathology of schizophrenia. Moreover, the personality abnormality was related to cognitive deficit, prognosis, and insight in schizophrenics. It was difficult to disentangle the relationship between personality psychopathology and schizophrenia. Spectrum, pathoplasty, and etiology model each could explain the relationship partially. An integrated viewpoint incorporating all three models was discussed. However, it needs further researches to investigate some important issues such as the physiological basis and psychological mechanism of the relationship, the influence of culture on personality assessment.

Objective To set up a method for extracting and purifying of flavonoids in Dried Tangerine peel.Methods Total flavonids being used as an index, UV spectrophotometer was used to optimize the extracting technology with the help of orthogonal experiment. Meanwhile macroporous resin was adopted for optimizing indexes of total flavonoids.Results The optimum conditions for purification were as followings: AB-8 macroporous resin, 50% of ethanol serving as eluting solvent, 0.4g/mL of sample concentration, 1:5 ration of diameter to height, 2BV/h of current velocity, and 5BV of flow column. Conclusion The content of total flavonoids was remarkably increased after purification.

Objective To investigate the correlation between glycosylated hemoglobin(HbAlc),plasma NTproBNP and the cardiac function in patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS).Methods 53 patients with both ACS and type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)(T2DM group),67 patients with ACS(ACS group)were selected as the objects.The HbAlc level was detected by immunohistochemical than turbidimetry,and the content of NT-proBNP was detected by electrochemiluminescence method.Results The levels of HbAlc,plasma NT-proBNP of the T2DM group were(9.21±1.23)％,(3.56±1.12)ng/ml,respectively,which were higher than those of ACS group[(5.09±0.67)％,(0.14±0.04)ng/ml](t=6.495,9.277,all P＜0.01);The cardiac function of ACS patients was positively correlated with the levels of HbA1c and plasma NT-proBNP(r=0.517,0.589,all P＜0.01),and there was positive correlation between the levels of HbAlc and plasma NT-proBNP in ACS patients(r=0.431,P＜0.05).Conclusion The HbAlc and NT-proBNP can promote the injury of the cardiac function of ACS patients,and can be used as diagnostic indicators of the injury of the cardiac function of ACS patients.

Sentinel lymph node biopsy represents the state of the art of breast surgery, but its widely application might surpass the support of available evidences. The hot spots of sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer include the prognosis of micrometastases in sentinel nodes, the prediction of non-sentinel nodes metastases in positive sentinel nodes patients, and the intraoperative molecular diagnosis of sentinel nodes.These are discussed accompanying with the updated results from the 31st SABCS held in December, 2008.

0.05). Conclusion: There appears no clinical relationship between HBV and CAD.

This article discusses the relationship between ecological environment、ethical awareness and ecological moral.It tells us that only when we esteem the natural rights,establish the natural power,maintain ecological balance and erect the ethical awareness of ecological civilization that the human benefits can be adequately obtained and social enlightenment can be unceasingly developed.

The expressional capacity is an important element to the education of medical professional personality. The author discusses the close relationship among linguistic art as well as linguistic quality, humanistic quality, psychological quality and civilized words. The education of medical professional personality has objective demand for linguistic art. Brilliant expressional capacity plays an important role in establishing the harmonious relationship between doctors and patients, as well as exhibiting the doctor's charming personality.

This paper studies the Doctor-Patient relationship(DPR),especially about the logical system of the relationship.Through the positivism analysis,we compare the traditional DPR with the present DPR.

Negative pressure pulmonary edema is a common pediatric disease,but also often to be ignored,which occurs from the upper airway obstruction caused by the change in the absolute value of negative intrathoracic pressure increase,resulting in a corresponding respiratory physiology,hemodynamic changes,common causes include laryngitis,whooping cough,foreign body,such as obstructive sleep apnea.Therefore,it is important to know the common causes of negative pressure pulmonary edema and to treat the patients in time.
