Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy between preparation porcelain veneer(PPV)and no-preparation porcelain veneer(NPPV).Methods:44 patients with 97 PPVs and 23 patients with 57 NPPVs were followed up for 3 years.Mental tension, postoperative dentin sensitivity and satisfaction of the patients,survival rate of the veneers,sulcus bleeding index(SBI)of preopera-tive and postoperative 3 years were evaluated.A comparative analysis was taken to examine the clinical indicators of 2 groups accord-ing to the modified CDA /Ryge criteria.Results:Survival rates of PPVs and NPPVs were 96.91 % and 96.49%(P >0.05),satisfac-tion rates of the 2 group patients were 95.45% and 95.65%(P >0.05),respectively.Mental tension and the postoperative dentin sensitivity of patients in PPV group was higher than those in NPPV group.Preoperative and postoperative SBI were not statistically dif-ferent between the 2 groups(P >0.05).Marginal adaptation in PPV group was better than that in NPPV group.Color matching, Porcelain surface and Marginal stain were not statistically different between 2 groups.Conclusion:Preparation porcelain veneers and no-preparation porcelain veneers both are effective in clinical application.

Objective　To observe the effects of Ang-Ⅱ on expressions of c-fos mRNA and pro-α1［Ⅰ］mRNA in fibroblasts (FBC) of rat embryo in the course of collagen synthesis.Methods　The change of free Ca2+(［Ca2+］i) was tested in fluorometry and the expressions of c-fos mRNA and pro-α1［Ⅰ］mRNA were tested by RT-PCR method in incubated FBC.Results　The level of［Ca2+］i in FBC and the expressions of c-fos mRNA and pro-α1［Ⅰ］mRNA were enhanced with the increase of Ang-Ⅱ concentration(10-8～10-5and 10-7～10-6mol/L).Conclusions　The expressions of c-fos mRNA and pro-α1［Ⅰ］mRNA were induced by Ang-Ⅱ activating signal system in FBC.

Objective:To determine whether chewing gum during the postoperative period facilitates the recovery of bowel function in patients after radical cystectomy with ileum urinary diversion.Methods:In the study,60 patients who underwent radical cystectomy followed by ileum urinary diversions during Nov.2014 and Nov.2015 in Department of Urology of Peking University First Hospital were randomized into three groups:gum chewing group,placebo group treated with the abdomen physical therapy machine and control group treated with ordinary method.Time to flatus,time to bowel movement,incidence of postoperative distension of the abdomen and abdominal pain,and gut related complications (such as ileus,intestinal fistula,and volrulus)of all the patients were recorded and analysed.Results:In gum chewing group,the median time to flatus was 57 hours (49 -72 hours),and the median time to bowel movement was 95 hours (88 -109 hours),which were significantly shortened compared with the other two groups of patients (82 hours,109 hours in placebo group and 81 hours,108 hours in control group, respectively).No significant difference of the median time to flatus and to bowel movement was observed between placebo group and control group.There were no significant differences in the incidence of post-operative distension of the abdomen and abdominal pain,and gut related complications among the three groups.Conclusion:Chewing gum had stimulatory effect on bowel function recovery after cystectomy fol-lowed by ileum urinary diversion.Chewing gum was safe and simple,and could be routinely used for postoperative treatment after cystectomy and ileum urinary diversion.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the correlation between decocting time (DT), administration dosage (AD) and efficacy of warming Yang of crude lateral root of aconite (CLRA) , and the best DT and AD to efficacy of warming Yang of the CLRA.

METHODAccording to the efficacy of the CLRA supplementing fire and strengthening Yang, several animal models, including a constipation induced by insufficiency of Yang, kidney Yang deficient models, uniform design (UD) and regression analysis were applied to confirm the best DT and AD of the different actions of the CLRA.

RESULTThe CLRA obviously improved the general state of kidney-yang deficiency mice, markedly increased their swimming depleted time in lower temperature, and evidently decreased the defecation latency, promoted defecation amount, and improved peristalsis frequency of intestines and stomach. The best DT and AD were 6 hours and 12 g x kg(-1) respectively for the CLRA to warm the kidney, spleen yang and to smooth defecation.

CONCLUSIONThe CLRA possesses the remarkable efficacy of warming Yang, which is obviously correlated with the DT and AD. The best DT and AD for CLRA to warm Yang are 6 hours and 12 g x kg(-1) respectively.

Objective To explore the possible effects of nutritional supplements on brain function as reflected by Water Maze test performance in mice after +Gz exposure.Method Mice were arranged into control group (group A),+Gz group without nutritional supplementation (group B) and +Gz plus nutritional supplementation group (group C).Each group contains 12 mice.Mice in group A were not exposed to +Gz while mice in both group B and group C were exposed to 8 min +10 Gz.Distilled water was gavaged to group B mice 3 h before +Gz exposure.On the day before +Gz exposure pyridoxol fortified water was given and 3 h before exposure mixed amino acids solution were gavaged to group C mice.Water Maze test was done and scores were recorded in all groups.After the Water Maze test was completed,blood was collected through the eyes for serum amino acid determinations and brain tissue was collected by decollation for monoamine determination and γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT) activity evaluation. Result After +Gz exposure,longer completion time and more mistakes were observed in Water Maze test in group B as compared with group A and a trend of improvement in group C was noticed. The ratio of brain 5-HT to dopamine(DA) was significantly reduced in group C as compared with group B.Gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) activity in brain tissue in group C and group B increased significantly. Conclusion High sustained +Gz exposure significantly reduces Water Maze test performance in mice (longer completion time and more mistakes).It seems that there is a trend of improvement in Water Maze performance in mice in dietary nutritional supplementation group,which might be due to significant reduction in ratio of brain 5-HT to DA in mice with nutritional supplementation.

Objective To evaluate diagnostic value of X-ray computed tomography(CT) neck masses in children.Methods Clinic,pathologic diagnosis and CT scans of 26 patients from Jan.2004 to Jun.2006 with neck masses which location,density,edge and near construction were reviewed retrospectively.Results Seven cases in neck anterior area,13 cases in neck lateral area,6 cases in other areas or unconfirmed.Eight cases with lower density than cervical muscles,2 cases with same density,2 cases with higher density,14 cases with mixed density.Inflammatory masses were observed in 13 cases,congenital malformation in 11 cases,thyroiditis in 1 case,pharyngeal tumor-like proliferation in 1 case.Conclusion CT scan is the best choice of diagnosis of neck masses in children,and is valuable to diagnosis associated with history and physical examination.

Objective To study the imaging of inner ear malformations in children with congenital sensorineural hearing loss(SNHL).Methods CT and MRI examinations were performed on children with SNHL diagnosed by audiological test.One hundred and eighty-eight patients with complete imaging information were obtained.The imaging of inner ear malformations was analyzed according to Sennaroglu's classification. Results Thirty-five patients(54 ears) were found with inner ear malformations by CT and MRI,3 of whom(5 ears) were accompanied by outer and middle ear malformations.Among the 35 patients,2(4 ears) were found to be common cavity deformity,1(1 ear) cochlear hypoplasia,13(26 ears) incomplete partition II(Mondini deformity),4(7 ears) vestibule dilation,13(19 ears) semicircular canal deformity and 19(34 ears) large vestibular aqueduct.Internal auditory canal was found narrow in 7 patients(10 ears) and wide in 1(2 ears) with classic Mondini deformity. Conclusion CT and MRI examinations are of great importance to the diagnosis and treatment of inner ear malformations in children with congenital SNHL,especially for the candidates of cochlear implantation.
