Journal of Practical Stomatology 2009;25(4):563-566
Objective:To analyze the prognosis of replanted permanent teeth in children and associated factors. To determine the onset time of root resorption and related factors. Methods: Clinical data of replanted teeth treated in Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Peking University, School and Hospital of Stomatology, from January 2000 to December 2006,were collected, and the follow-up period was no less than six months. The Fisher's exact test and cox regression were used for statistical analysis. Results: The study comprised of 39 patients with 50 replanted permanent teeth. The periodontium healing rate was 18%, while root resorption rate was 82%. Replacement resorption was the most common type of root resorption (64%).The factors significantly affecting periodontium healing were stage of root development and storage of avulsed teeth.Stage of root development and the time of endodontic treatment significantly affected the onset time of root resorption(P<0.05). Conclusion: Replacement resorption is the most common type of root resorption. The factors significantly affecting periodontium healing are stage of root development and storage of avulsed teeth. Stage of root development and the time of endodontic treatment significantly affect the onset time of root resorption.
2.Research progress and prospect of human β-defensin 3 and its derivatives in ophthalmology
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2013;31(10):997-1000
Currently,antimicrobial resistance has become an urgent global public health problem.Human defensin,a family of innate immune peptides,plays an important role in the control of infectious disease because of its low resistance to microbiological infection.However,so far there is seldom report on industrial production of bioactive defensin.Human β-defensin 3 (HBD3) is a member of human innate antimicrobial peptides.It has broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and function in a variety of inflammation diseases.In addition,HBD3 is considered as a good candidate for antibiotics,because it has a strong killing activity to antibiotics-resistant microbes and resistance to highsalt environment,it is especially valuable for the treatment of ocular surface inflammatory diseases.This review covers the in vitro research on the production of HBD3,optimization of structure-activity and its antimicrobial potential for ocular surface infection,which may provide a supportive evidence for the commercial production of HBD3 and other antimicrobial peptides in biopharmaceutical area.

Method From October 2007 to May 2008,15 cases of organ prolapsus of many region defect in pelvic cavity were operated pelvic floor reconstruction, 14 cases had three regional defects,and 1 case had two regional defects. Results All the cases were punctured smoothly without hematoma and injury of blood vessel and organs. The time of operation for 15 cases ranged from 60 to 150 minutes,averaged (85.0±4.3) minutes. The amount of bleeding in operations ranged from 150 to 400 ml,averaged (200.0±0.1) ml. Fifteen cases recovered well after operation without infection.The days in hospital were 5-9 days,averaged (6.0±0.7) days. Following up 1-12 months,pelvic floor structure of all patients were normal,and interrelated symptom disappeared or improved. One case was discovered the net was eroded after 5 weeks. Conclusions Pelvic floor suspension by vagina is a micro operation to treat complicated pelvic floor organ prolapsus. It can accomplish pelvic floor reconstruction and reserve uterus simultaneously, healing efficacy is stable in short-term,but need further observation.
4.Effect of Gui-Zhi Fu-Ling Wan on HIF-1α and VEGF in Patients with Endometriosis
World Science and Technology-Modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2014;(5):1178-1181
This study was aimed to explore effect of Gui-Zhi Fu-Ling W an (GZFLW) on HIF-1α and vascular en-dothelial growth factor (VEGF) in patients with endometriosis. A total of 68 endometriosis patients in the First Peo-ple's Hospital of Xining from June 2011 to June 2013 were included. All patients received treatment of GZFLW, once a day. After one-month treatment, the treatment efficacy was analyzed. The endometrial tissues (both ectopic endometrium and eutopic endometrium) were obtained before and after treatment. The protein levels of HIF-1α and VEGF as well as the relationship of HIF-1α and VEGF were analyzed by SP immunohistochemistry. The results showed that the total treatment efficacy was 86.76%. Compared with pretreatment, the posttreatment protein levels of HIF-1α and VEGF were significantly reduced (P< 0.05). The decreasing of VEGF protein level and HIF-1α expres-sion level were positively correlated (P< 0.05). It was concluded that GZFLW had better efficacy in the treatment of endometriosis. One of the reasons may be the downregulation of protein levels of HIF-1α and VEGF in endometriosis tissues.
