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 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.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate middle and long-term results of total hip arthroplasties (THA) for the treatment of secondary hip traumatic osteoarthritis and femoral head necrosis after acetabular fractures.

METHODSFrom January 2000 to December 2005, 33 patients with secondary hip traumatic osteoarthritis and (or) femoral head necrosis after acetabular fractures were treated with THA. There were 21 males and 12 females, ranging in age from 27 to 69 years old, with an average of 52 years old. Twenty-three patients were performed with open reduction and internal fixation: 5 patients were treated with anterior approach; 12 patients, posterior approach; 6 patients, combined approaches; other 10 patients, conservative treatment in the early stage. All THA were performed with posterior-lateral approach. Bone union was achieved in the all acetabular fractures. Removal of all implants was necessary in 5 patients, and partial removal in 3 patients. Cemented cup was implanted in 6 patients and uncommented cup in 27 patients. Intraoperative and postoperative complications were observed, and Harris hip scores before surgery and 10 years after operation were compared. The prosthetic loosening, osteolysis or revision were used to evaluate 10 years survival rate of prosthesis.

RESULTSAll the patients were followed up,and the duration ranged from 10 to 15 years, with a mean of 12 years. One patient died at the 10th year after operation. The Harris score at the 10th year was higher than the preoperative one. One and two patients were performed with revision total hip arthroplasty caused by aseptic loosening alone and aseptic loosening combined with osteolysis respectively. Osteolysis occurred in 1 patient; deep venous thrombosis in 4 patients; dislocation of prosthesis in 2 patients. One patient had infection of incision and one patient had infection around the prosthesis. Ten years survival rate of implant was 84.8% (28/133).

CONCLUSIONTHA is an effective method to treat secondary hip traumatic osteoarthritis and (or) femoral head necrosis after acetabular fractures in improving hip joint functions with high implant survival rate and good middle and long-term results.

AIMTo explore the effect of Cdc25B overexpression on the development of mouse two-cell embryos.

METHODSThe pBSK-Cdc25B was in vitro transcribed into 5'-capped mRNA for microinjection by using mMESSAGE mMACHINE kit. The Cdc25B mRNA was microinjected into mouse embryos at two-cell stage in order to observe the embryonic development and cleavage rate. Using protein kinase activity assay and Western blot to detect the MPF activity as well as the phosphorylation status of Cdc2-Tyr15 in Cdc25B overexpression group respectively.

RESULTSThe mouse embryos with Cdc25B overexpression developed to the four-cell stage 48 h after the hCG injection with the percentage of cleavage over 40% compared with the embryos in control groups which still remained at the two-cell stage. Moreover, MPF activity increased significantly after Cdc25B mRNA injection. The phosphorylation status of Cdc2-Tyr15 was coincident with MPF activity.

CONCLUSIONThe results indicate that Cdc25B overexpression in early mouse two-cell embryos reverses two-cell block and promotes their development into four-cell stage by activating MPF.
