Objective; To investigate the stress distribution in implant-bone interface with different pitches by three-dimension finite element analysis method in order to decide the best design of thread parameters for stress distribution. Methods: Built three-dimension finite element models of partial mandible and dental implant with superstructure. The stress distributions in bone and three kinds of implants whose pitches were 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 mm respectively, under axial and oblique 45 degree to axle concentrated load. Data were analyzed by Cosmos/works software. Results;The maximal Von-Mises stress, tensile stress and compressive stress of implant with 0.8 mm pitch were lower than others, the stress distribution was even. The stresses in the same model under oblique load were much higher than those under axial load. The stress concentrated more on implant neck, upper part of cortical bone and the lowest thread on implant. Conclusion; The pitch of implant has effect on stress distribution in implant-bone interface and the transmission of occlusal force. The lower threads on implant should be cut to avoid the concentration of stress, and the non-axial force should be reduced as possible as we can or avoided when we design and make implant denture.

Objective To study the expression of S1RT1 in breast cancer with diabetes mellitus,and analyze the correlation between SIRT1 and p53,and analyze blood lipid differences in breast cancer tissue without diabetes mellitus and breast cancer tissue with diabetes mellitus,and to research its relation with type 2 diabetes mellitus and assesse the clinical value.Methods Immunohistochemistry was used to examine the expressions of SIRT1 and p53 in 30 breast cancer patients with diabetes mellitus and 30 breast cancer patients without diabetic mellitus,and their correlation was analyzed.Results The positive rate of SIRT1 in breast cancer tissue with diabetes mellitus was significantly lower than that in breast cancer tissue without diabetic mellitus(P ＜0.05).In SIRT1 positive tissue,the expression level of p53 was significantly higher than that in SIRT1 negative tissue(P ＜ 0.05 ).The expression of SIRT1 was significantly positively related with p53 expression in breast cancer tissue with diabetes( P ＜ 0.05).BMI and TG in breast cancer group with diabetes mellitus were significantly higher than those in breast cancer group without diabetic mellitus( P ＜ 0.05 ),but HDL was lower( P =0.05 ).However,CHO and LDL had no significant differences in both groups( P ＞0.05 ).Conclusions SIRT1 is up-regulated in breast cancer,but the posltive rate of SIRT1 in breast cancer tissue with diabetes mellitus is significantly lower than that in breast cancer tissue without diabetic,and is associated with the progression of diabetes mellitus.SIRT1 protein is significantly positively correlated to p53 expression and it may be involved in the adjustment process of blood lipids,SIRT1 might be a new biological target in diabetes and breast cancer.

Medical parasitology education has been facing some difficulties because it is a course of wide range lacking clini?cal cases and concerned specimens of parasites currently. In addition its relationship with life is not closely enough. All these reasons may impact the effect of class education negatively. Therefore it is important to increase the vitality of parasitology edu?cation and diversify the instructional mode by using the resources from Internet. In recent years the Discovery Channel has up?loaded a documentary Monsters Inside Me online. This documentary is high professional and closely linked with parasitology. It maintains numbers of clinical cases about parasitic diseases. Each episode is about 3 minutes and shortly enough to be intro?duced into class teaching. However this resource has not been fully used in domestic temporally. We found that direct introduc?tion of the documentary into class teaching can enrich teaching forms to attract learning interest of students and finally improve the teaching effect of class. Above that another popular documentary A Bite of China involves many related knowledge points of parasitology. The appropriate usage of the knowledge can build up close linkage between book and life which is extremely help?ful to give students a deep impression of parasitology. In brief it is our strong recommendation to introduce the documentary Monsters Inside Me into class.

BACKGROUND: Brain metabolic abnormality can be observed after cerebral ischemia.OBJECTIVE: To observe the changes of biochemical metabolism of rats with focal cerebral ischemia with 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in order to reflect the metabolite abnormalities of rats during cerebral ischemic recovery phase.DESIGN: Randomized controlled study.SETTING: Departments of Neurology and department of Radiology of First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University.MATERIALS: The experiment was conducted at the Radiological Department of First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from April to July 2004. Totally 24 adult Wistar rats with clean grade were randomly divided into three groups, namely: control group, sham operation group and cerebral ischemia group, with 8 rats in each group.METHODS: The focal cerebral ischemic model was established by occluding the right internal carotid artery in cerebral ischemia group and the filament were just inserted into the internal carotid artery not into the middle cerebral artery in sham operation group, nothing was done except for anesthetizing in the control group. 1H MRS was performed within the area of cerebral infarction and the homologous area of the contralateral hemisphere using 1.5T GE signa Highspeed MRI spectrometer in cerebral ischemic and shamed operation group at the following time point of 30 minutes, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 hours, 3, 7, 15 days, 1 and 2 months after cerebral ischemia, and in the control group at the same time point.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Changes of lactate, N-acetyl-aspartate (NAA), choline and creatine in infarct hemisphere and contralateral hemisphere.RESULTS: Totally 24 rats were selected in the study, but two died of anesthesia in sham operation group and four of serious brain edema in cerebral ischemia group, only 18 rats entered the final analysis with 8 in normal control group, 6 in sham operation group and 4 in cerebral isThe marked increase in NAA, choline and creatine was recognizable in bilateral spectra 30 minutes after cerebral ischemia and decreased to the period of 3-6 hours, but there was no significant difference in NAA, choline at 6 hours and reached the lowest level at 24 hours (45.21±0.37), choline (93.80±0.56) and creatine (69.33±0.44) at 3 days, and then NAA, choline and creatine gradually increased over time. The increase in NAA was especially obvious which increased by 2.5 times at 2 months than that at 24The earliest detection of lactate was at 10 minutes within the infarct. The lactate concentration elevated at 1 day and peaked at 12 hours, and a partial recovery of the reduction of lactate was seen at 3 days, and the lactate increase within the infarct region was significant compared with that of the homologous area (66.83±0.43,44.35±0.35, t=2.379, P ＜ 0.05). However, the elevation in lactate was no longer observed during the period of up to 2month follow-up.ischemia and reflect the metabolites changes in brain of rats after cerebral cerebral ischemic recovery phase objectively.

The present paper is aimed to study the preparation and application of individual artificial bone of carbon/carbon composites. Using computer tomography images (CT), we acquired a three-dimensional image. Firstly, we described bone contour line outlined with manual and automatic method by the binary volume data. Secondly, we created 3D object surface information by marching cubes. Finally, we converted this information to non-uniform rational B-spine (NURBS) by using geomagic software. Individual artificial bone with carbon/carbon composite was prepared through the CNC Machining Center. We replaced the humeral head of the tested rabbit, and then observed the effects of implantation in neuroimaging and pathological section. Using this method, we found that the bone shape processed and bone shape replaced was consistent. After implantation, the implant and the surrounding bone tissue bound closely, and bone tissue grew well on the surface of the implant. It has laid a sound foundation of the preparation using this method for individual artificial bone of carbon/carbon composite material.

OBJECTIVETo summarize retrospectively the 5-year survival rates and long-term complication of stage Ib-IIIa cervical carcinoma treated by combination of subradical external radiation and brachytherapy plus radical operation.

METHODS106 patients with cervical carcinoma were all treated by radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy, of whom 78 had had preoperative radiotherapy (external radiation and brachytherapy), 16 combination of brachytherapy and radical operation, 12 adjuvant postoperative radiotherapy (external radiation and brachytherapy). (60)Co was used for external radiation, in which the point B dose was 25 - 30 Gy in preoperative radiation and 40 - 50 Gy in postoperative radiation. (192)Ir high-dose-rate afterloading unit was used in brachytherapy, with a dose of 6 - 18 Gy at point A.

RESULTSThe follow up rate was 95.3%. The overall 5-year survival rates were 78.2% (61/78) in the preoperative radiotherapy group, 68.8% (11/16) in brachytherapy plus radical operation, 33.3% (4/12) in the postoperative radiotherapy group, showing a higher 5-year survival rate in the preoperative radiotherapy group than the postoperative radiotherapy group (P < 0.05). In stage II patients, the preoperative radiotherapy group -77.6% (45/58) also gave a higher survival than the postoperative radiotherapy group -25.0% (1/4) (P < 0.05). But all the other groups gave differences of insignificance. The chief long-term complications were radio-proctitis and cystitis, with incidences of 34.6% (27/78), 31.3% (5/16), 33.3% (4/12) in the preoperative radiotherapy group, brachytherapy plus radical operation group and the postoperative radiotherapy group (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe overall 5-year survival rate of combined subradical external radiation and brachytherapy plus radical operation was obviously higher than that of postoperative radiotherapy for stage Ib-IIIa and II patients, with statistically significant differences. However, the incidence of long-term complications give no statistical significance in the preoperative radiotherapy group or brachytherapy plus the operation group as compared with the postoperative radiotherapy group.
