Objective To explore the effects of exogenous methionine on arsenical distribution in liver,blood and brain of mice exposed to sodium arsenite through drinking water. Methods The female Kunming mice were randomly divided into control group, the alone arsenic exposure group , the low level methionine intervention group, the moderate level methionine intervention group and the high level methionine intervention group, eight mice in each group . The mice in the experimental groups were exposed to sodium arsenite through drinking water at 50 mg/L arsenic for four consecutive weeks. And at the fourth week the 5 groups were treated intraperitoneally with saline solution (control and As group),100 mg/kg b.w,200 mg/kg b.w or 400 mg/kg b.w methionine,respectively . Twenty-four hours after cessation of methionine administration,mice were anaesthetized and rapidly dissected. The samples of blood,liver and brain were removed immediately for arsenic species analysis. Levels of inorganic arsenic (iAs),monomethylarsonic acid (MMA) and dimethylarsenic acid (DMA) were determined by HG-AAS method. Then total arsenic speciation( TAs), primary methylation ratio( PMR)and secondary methylation ratio( SMR)in each tissue were calculated. Results Compared with the control group, the levels of iAs, MMA, DMA and TAs in liver, brain and blood, were significantly higher in all experimental groups ( P

Objective:To summarize the current policies and measures in curbing health corruption in China, and to evaluate the implementation results of these policies and measures.Methods:We made a systematic review to search and screen the literatures, with related thematic information extracted, compared and classified to form an integrated view by the data integration method of thematic synthesis.Results:A total of 147 literatures were included, covering such health policies and measures as the basic drug system, the centralized bidding and purchasing and centralized drug purchasing, the " two-invoice system" , hospital information disclosure system, adverse records of commercial bribery, doctor′s virtue evaluation system and no bribery agreement. These five policies and measures prove effective in curbing the corruption, but some types of corruption tend to evade such restrictions.Conclusions:The five types of policy measures summarized in the study have effectively curbed the high risk exposure of corruptions found in drugs, medical consumables and medical devices, and also guided and restrained the profit-oriented behaviors of the behavior subjects. Stronger measures should be integrated into a broader reform of the healthcare system, in combination with institutional compensation and operational mechanism reform, medical personnel compensation and incentive system, and modern pluralistic governance reform. Meanwhile, studies in the field of corruption need to focus on the direct and indirect effects of multi-level medical reform policies on corruption governance from an integrated perspective, while attention needs to cover more types of corruption behaviors, and to diversify research methods, so as to provide more practical policy support.

ObjectiveTo analyze the relationship between the patients' psychological factors and esthetics satisfaction of all-ceramic restoration of anterior teeth.MethodsThe N scales of Eysenck personality questionnaires (EPQ) were filled at the first visit,and the total scores of N scales were calculated.After restorative treatments,the satisfaction questionnaire was used to evaluate the patients' aesthetic satisfaction on material quality,color,geometry,profile,self-confidence,etc,and to analyze the relation between psychological factors and satisfaction of the patients.ResultsThe scores of EPQ N scale of the patients in this study were as follows:Nmax=23,Nmin =3,Navg =9.35±5.714.The patients had high satisfaction with restoration.Aesthetic satisfaction,color and self-confidence were in relation to the N scales scores,satisfaction of color was in relation to sickness suspicion,satisfaction of profile was in relation to enthrallment extent and guilty consciousness,and satisfaction of self-confidence improvement was in relation to anxiety and self-determination.Conclusions The psychologic factor of the patients has some influence on the esthetics satisfaction of all-ceramic restoration of anterior teeth.

Objective To investigate the methods and results of lengthened proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) in the treatment of femoral shaft fractures combined with ipsilateral femoral neck fractures. Methods Of the 21 patients with femoral shaft combined with ipsilateral femoral neck fractures treated by lengthened PFNA from 2006 to 2009,16 patients with complete follow-up were retrospectively studied.There were 15 males and 1 female,at mean age of 35 years (range,21-51 years).Injury causes were all high-energy trauma including traffic injuries in 11 patients and fall injuries in five.According to Garden classification,there were seven patients with type Ⅰ femoral neck fractures,six with type Ⅱ and three with type Ⅲ.Femoral shift fractures contained six superior part fractures and nine medial part fractures and one inferior part fracture.According to Winquist classification,there were two patients with type Ⅰ femoral shaft fractures,four with type Ⅱ,six with type Ⅲ and four with type Ⅳ.Two patients had open fractures belonging to type Ⅰ Gustilo-Anderson.Harris hip score was used to evaluate functional outcomes at the last follow-up postoperatively. Result The mean follow-up time was 2.4years (range,1-4 years ).The mean period for healing of femoral neck and shaft fractures was 4.2months ( range,3-6 months) and 5.1 months ( range,3-8 months) respectively.Four patients showed delayed diagnoses of femoral neck fractures ; two patients had delayed union of femoral shaft fractures ; one suffered from avascular necrosis of the femoral head ; one patient presented 3 cm of extension of the affected limb and was accompanied by active pain of the knee joint for over four months.According to Harris score,function of hip joints was excellent in seven patients,good in six and fair in three,with excellence rate of 82％. Conclusions It is relatively few that the femoral shaft fracture is combined with ipsilateral femoral neck fracture.The rate of missed diagnosis of femoral neck fractures is high and the patients with high energy trauma hould be highly paid attention to.Lengthened PFNA conforms to characteristics of biomechanical fixation and presents short operation time and solid fixation. Lengthened PFNA achieves affirmatory effects for treatment of femoral shaft fractures combined with ipsilateral femoral neck fractures.

Objective To research the chronic respiratory infectious diseases caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa need to objectively the reflection of the real environment in the body, so established a mouse model of chronic pulmonary infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and analyzed it's inflammatory response. Methods Establishment of chronic bronchial infection mice model that were inoculated with Pseudomonos aeruginosa-laden agarose beads, and analyzed its inflammatory response by detected the cytokines and MMP-2, and a differential cell count and a total leukocytes count were performed as well. Results Pseudomonas aeruginosa had been detected after infection, and there were changes in pathological. Pulmonary inflammation appeared in 1 d and reached near baseline levels by 7 d after inoculation. It was verified that the peak of inflammatory reaction in Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection is in 2-3 d; the mice did have detectable levels of circulating matrix metalloproteinase-2 ( MMP-2 ) after infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. MMP-2 concentrations in the blood serum peaked at 3 d after inoculation. It is indicated that Pseudomonas aeruginosa can initiate a certain degree of pulmonary fibrosis on the basis of the pulmonary inflammation. Conclusion In this study, chronic bronchial infection animal model affected by Pseudomonas aeruginosa was established successfully. Base on this animal model, we can do the pathogenicity and drug resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa further study.
