Objective To improve the surgical treatment of square mandible deformity. Methods Based on cephalometric and facial feature, an integrated therapeutic project was designed. Through an oral approach the bilateral prominent mandibular angles were reseeted. Meanwhile, genioplasty was applied to correct chin deformity. Results From March 2000 to December 2006, 18 cases of square mandible with chin deformity were corrected with this procedure. The postoperative appearance was improved greatly after 3~6 months. Beautiful chin outline was reconstructed in esthetical standard. Mentolabial sulcus became natural and harmonious. Conclusion Mandible angle osteotomy combined with genioplasty is an ideal methods to recontour square mandible with chin deformity. It is beneficial to whole facial con-tour improvement.

Objective To investigate the iodine nutritional status of children aged 8 to 10 in both costal and non-costal areas of Rizhao city Shandong province,and provide a basis for scientific supplementation of iodine.Methods In 2009 and 2010,townships of Lanshan and Donggang were chosen as survey points which situated close to the coast,the counties of Wulian and Juxian that were more than 50 kilometers away from the coast were selected as controls.The iodine concentration of drinking water in every village and water supply point was determined.At the county level,5 to 9 towns were selected according to their sub-area positions of east,west,south,north and center,4 villages were selected in each chosen township,8 - 15 households were selected in each chosen village,edible salt from the households was collected; 5 primary schools were selected in each chosen township,60 students aged 8 - 10 were selected to take thyroid examination in each chosen school.Twenty copies of urine samples were collected from the 60 students to detect the iodine concentration.Iodine in drinking water was tested by cerous sulfate catalytic spectrophotometry,in iodized salt by direct titration,in urine by arsenic-cerium contact method,and thyroids were examined by palpation.Results Totally 3483 copies of drinking water samples,1164 copies of edible salt samples,and 476 copies of urine samples were tested,and a total of 1200 children aged 8 to 10 were investigated; and the ratio of water iodine frequency distribution ≤ 10 μg/L (in costal and non-costal area) accounted for 90.03% ( 1011/1123 ) and 91.10% (2150/2360),respectively,the medians of water iodine were 5.6 and 4.2 μg/L,respectively; the iodine medians of edible salt were 29.03 and 29.99 mg/kg,respectively; the consumption rates of qualified iodized salt were 96.77% (569/588) and 97.05% (559/576),respectively; total goiter rates were 1.17%(7/600) and 1.33%(8/600),respectively; the medians of urinary iodine were 144.05 and 159.15 μg/L,respectively; the percentages of urinary iodine that bellow 100 μg/L were 26.58% (63/237) and 22.59% (54/239),respectively; between 100 - 300 μg/L were 66.75% (158/237) and 64.02% (153/239),respectively;above 300μg/L were 6.75% (16/237)and13.39% (32/239),respectively.ConclusionsThe costal of Rizhao is an iodine deficient area.The current popularity of household's consumption of qualified iodized salt is suitable.The levels of iodine nutrition of children aged 8 to 10 is appropriate,which met the national standard of elimination of iodine deficiency disorders (IDD).There is no iodine excess.There are no significant differences in levels of iodine nutrition between costal and non-costal areas on the premise that the same iodized salt is supplied in both the areas,and there is no need to make differentiated supply of iodized salt.

Objective To explore the related neurobiochemical mechanism by comparing the concentration change of dopamine (DA),dihydroxy-phenyl acetic acid (DOPAC),glutamate (Glu),and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain tissues in schizophrenia (SZ) developmental model rats and chronic medication model rats.Methods A total of 60 neonatal male Spragur-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly assigned to 3 groups at the postnatal day 6:an SZ developmental rat model group (subcutaneous injection with MK-801 at the postnatal day 7-10,0.1 mg/kg,Bid),a chronic medication model group (intraperitoneal injection at the postnatal day 47-60,0.2 mg/kg,Qd),and a normal control group (injection with O.9% normal saline during the corresponding periods).DA,DOPAC,Glu,and GABA of the tissue homogenate from the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and hippocampus were examined with Coularray electrochemic detection by high performance liquid chromatogram technique.The utilization rate of DA and Glu was calculated.Results Compared with the normal control group,the concentration of DA and DOPAC in the mPFC and the hippocampus in the SZ developmental model group significantly decreased ( P < 0.05 ),and the GABA concentration and Glu utilization rate in the mPFC also decreased (P < 0.05 ).Compared with the chronic medication model group,the DA concentration of the mPFC in the SZ developmental group decreased ( P < 0.05 ),and the DOPAC concentration and the utility rate of DA in the hippocampus also decreased (P <0.01,P <0.05,respectively).Conclusion The activities of DA,Glu and GABA system decrease in the mPFC and the DA system function reduces in the hippocampus of SZ developmental rats.

Objective To detect the expression of 84 signaling molecules associated with nuclear factor-κB in lesions of Uygur patients with psoriasis.Methods Skin specimens were obtained from the lesional and paralesional skin of eight Uygur patients with psoriasis.Total RNA was extracted from the skin specimens and reversely transcribed into cDNA.PCR-array analysis was carried out to quantify the expressions of 84 signaling molecules related to nuclear factor-κB.Genes with a fold-change > or =2 were defined as differentially expressed.Results Among the 84 tested genes,22 showed upregulated expression,7 downregulated expression,and the remaining 54 genes showed no significant changes in psoriatic lesions compared with the normal skin.The strongest upregulation was observed in the gene expressions of Caspase recruitment domain family 11 (CARD11) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor 2 (CSF2),and the most significant downregulation in the gene expression of interleukin 10 (IL-10),tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 5 (CD40) and nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cell inhibitor,epsilon (NFκBIE).Conclusion Multiple molecules involved in the NF-κB signaling pathway might be activated or inhibited in lesions of patients with psoriasis.
