During the recent decade, the advanced medical technology has brought the rapid development in the dentoalveolar surgery, and the medical concepts of humanity, painless, minimally invasive, safe and comfortable are gradually accepted by the patients and doctors. Many advanced techniques and equipments have been used in the dentoalveolar surgery. This paper would like to make a review on the clinical application and experience of the advanced medical technologies in the tooth extraction, such as the general anaesthetic technique, the nitrous oxide sedative technique, the computer-controlled local anesthesia delivery devices, the electrocardiogram montior, the location of embedded tooth by cone beam CT and minimally invasive surgical technique. Additionally, in this paper we also described the indication, contraindication, advantages and operating essentials of the orthodontic traction technique, ultrasonic bone surgery (piezosurgery) device and the surgery technology for alveolar bone shape and functional preservation in the extraction of tooth. Finally, we introduced the immediate implantation technique used in the dentoalveolar surgery.

Pancreaticobiliary maljunction(PBM)is closely related to many surgical diseases in which are commonly seen in clinical practice.However,diagnosis of PBM is difficult and it is easily missed.The lack of knowledge and awareness of PMB has once made PBM “the forgotten corner of abdominal surgery”.This essay summarized the current knowledge on the diagnosis of PBM by medical imaging.

Lactate is considered a dead-end product of glycolysis.Its generation and accumulation promotes tumor growth and metastasis,and it is related to the poor prognosis of tumor.But recent studies have found,tumor cells can also uptake and utilize lactate.With the recent advances in tumor metabolism and gene therapy,lactate is a potential therapeutic target in tumors.

OBJECTIVE: A series of Bobath concept, Bobath theoretical hypothesis and clinical practice were summarized, to proVide a better understanding of Bobath concept involved in nervous tissues repairing and functional reconstruction. METHODS: Articles concerning the Bobath treatment for stroke-related literature were retrieved in Highwire press, MEDLINE, and Google from 2001 to 2009, using the key words of "Bobath concept, stroke physical therapy". Data of each study were extracted and analyzed following retrieval. Inclusion criteria:①Bobath concept and its theoretical hypothesis. ②New development of Bobath concept in clinical practice. Exclusion criteria: Repetitive studies. The results of retrieved literatura were analyzed. RESULTS: The theoretical basis of Bobath concept is based on present-day knowledge of motor control, motor learning, neural and muscle plasticity, and biomechanics. The latest theories and viewpoints are rasourced from International Bobath Instructors Training Association and the British Bobath Tutors Association. They expounded on the Bobath concept from linking participation, activities and underlying impairments, organization of human behavior and motor control, the consequences of injury and dysfunction in the execution of movement, neural and muscle plasticity, motor learning and so. This article also discusses several important questions which meet in clinical practice. CONCLUSION: Bobath therapy, as a traditional method for stroke rehabilitation, is constantly absorbing the research results from current neuroscience, psychology and other disciplines, and blended with other treatments to promote the development of neuro-rehabilitation medicine.

Objective To observe the effect of sensory reeducation on the motor function and activities of daily living (ADL) in stroke patients with proprioceptive disturbance. Methods Sixty patients with proprioceptive disturbance after stroke were randomly divided into the treatment group and observation group, and 30 stroke patients with no proprioception disturbance were recruited as the controls. Three groups were treated with routine rehabilitation interventions, but the treatment group were given sensory reeducation in addition to the regular treatment. Fugl-Meyer motor assessment scale (FMA) and sensory assessment scale, and with Barthel index (MBI) for activities of daily living (ADL) were used to evaluate the patients before and after treatment. Results FMA and MBI scores of patients in three groups were increased significantly (P<0.01) after treatment. The scores of patients in observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group and treatment group (P<0.01). Those of the treatment group and the control group were with no significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusion The proprioception disturbance significantly affects the rehabilitation process, and sensory reeducation can improve the sensory function, motor function and activities of daily living (ADL).

Pediatric blood purification requires reliable access to the circulation.Central venous catheters play an important role in the delivery of pediatric blood purification.A central venous noncuffed,nontunneled catheter is the best choice for short-term(less than 3 weeks) blood purification.A cuffed,tunneled catheter is preferable to long term(more than 3 weeks) blood purification.However,there are many complications associated with central venous catheters,such as catheter-induced thrombosis,catheter-related infection,and central vein stenosis.This article reviews the prevention and treatment of complications most frequently occurring with central venous catheters.

[Objective]To probe the research and treatment for Hashimoto thyroiditis in Th1/Th2 migration.[Methods]By referring to related literature from both home and abroad,the author tries to analyze and sort the literature and comes to a reasonable conclusion. [Result]There is a lot of experimental re-search on correction of Hashimoto thyroiditis Th1/Th2 migration at home and abroad,but less clinical treatment research.[Conclusion]Th1/Th2 cellmigra-tion is one of the reasons for Hashimoto thyroiditis.It can promote the development of the disease, have something to do with the rise of thyroid autoanti-bodies.

Objective:To observe the roles of p50 protein in pathologic responses of cerulein(CR)pancreatitis in mice deficient in p50 protein of NF-?B.Methods:Pancreatitis was induced by i.p.injection of 50?g/kg CR.The express and compensation of p65,p50 and cRel proteins of NF-?B,NF-?B activity were measured using electromobility shift assay;parameters of pancreatitis,eg,amylase,lipase and trypsin were evaluated.The apoptosis,necrosis and caspase-3 activity were observed.Results:p50 knockout(KO)mice had no p50 protein expression and increased p65 and cRel proteins expression.p50 KO mice's NF-?B activity decreased and apoptosis increased in pancreatitis compared with wild type(WT)mice.There was no caspase-3 activition in both mice before and after pancreatitis.All KO mice had an increased necrosis and amylase,lipase,trypsin activity compared with WT mice in pancreatitis.Conclusions:The results indicated that NF-?B p50 genetic deletion might attenuate cerulean induced pancreatitis.

The prevalence of allergic diseases has increased in recent years, and primary prevention of allergic disease is considered to be an elusive goal. This paper summarizes the recent publications on probiotics in allergic rhinitis. It focuses on clinical and laboratory observations of treatment or prevention of allergic rhinitis. Probiotics administration represents different outcome, its effects depend on a variety of factors, such as dosing regimen, delivery method and the types of bacterium. Since the data from different research centers are conflicting, the further studies are required.

Objective To analyze the diagnose and treatment of drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS) in children.MethodsThe clinical data from one case of highly suspected DIHS were retrospectively analyzed. The related literatures were reviewed.ResultsA 22-month-old male child with severe pneumonia, after treated with vancomycin, suffered with high fever and skin rash combined with hepatic lesion and hematological system disorder. After withdrawal of vancomycin and then treatment with the combination of high-dose methylprednisolone and intravenous immunoglobulin, the clinical symptoms were gradually relieved in 24 hours. The child was improved and discharged on 17th day.ConclusionThe child has the characteristics of DIHS which is highly suspected to be caused by vancomycin.
