Objective To investigate the remineralization effects of the Aominqing dental desensitizer and the fluoride dentifrice on the demineralized enamels. Methods Sixty-three teeth were randomly divided into three groups after demineralization , then was remineralized for eight days by using Aominqing dental desensitizer, fluoride dentifrice (1.1 g/L), and deionized water, respectively. The thin sections of teeth were analyzed under the con-focal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). The morphology of the surface of teeth was observed under the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results Under CLSM, the evaluation parameter area of the fluorescent lesion (A,μm2) processed by Aominqing and by fluoride was (3.19 ± 0.19) × 104, (3.61 ± 0.26) × 104 μm2, respectively. The total fluorescence (TF) was (0.61 ± 0.09) × 106, (0.89 ± 0.15) × 106, average fluorescent of the lesion(AF) was (18.98 ± 1.56), (24.65 ± 2.39), and the above parameters were all less than those in the blank control group [A=(4.89 ± 0.24) × 104 μm2,TF=(1.78 ± 0.21) × 106, AF = 36.29 ± 2.57] (P < 0.01). The evaluation parameters in the Aominqing group were less than those in the fluoride dentifrice group(P < 0.05). Under SEM, the surface of the group processed by Aominqing was the smoothest, compared to the fluoride dentifrice group and the blank control group. Conclusions Both Aominqing dental desensitizer and fluoride dentifrice (1.1 g/L) have the remineralization effects on the demineralized enamels, and the former has a stronger effect.

Objective To investigate the influence of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) treatment on cardiovascular risk factors in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS). Methods Thirty-one patients with newly diagnosed OSAHS were divided into 3 groups based on the status of nC-PAP treatment: group 1,10 patients with nCPAP > 4 hrs/night;group 2:9 patients with nCPAP < 4 hrs/night;group 3:12 patients without nCPAP treatment. Serum cardiovascular risk factors (i. e. ,C-reactive protein(CRP), total cholesterol, triglycerides, highdensity lipaprntein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, apo-lipoprotein A-I (ApoA-1), and apolipoprotein B (ApoB) ) were measured at baseline and 6 months after nCPAP treatment. Results ① There was no significant difference on age,body mass index,blcod pressure,Epworth sleepi-ness scale (ESS) and saturation of blood oxygen (SPO_2) between the 3 groups (P>0.05). ②In group 1, ESS, SPO_2 minimum SPO_2 were significantly improved (3.20±2.80,93.80±2.01 and 84.10±6.17, respectively) compared to baseline (13.30±5.20,88.60±4.14 and 69.60±11.80, respectively) (P<0.01). Moreover, in group 2, there were significant improvement on ESS, SPO_2 and minimum SPO2 (4.95±2.67,94.20±1.46 and 85.20±4.97, respectively) compared to baseline (12.80±5.50,89.10±5.11 and 73.70±12.50, respectively) (P<0.01). ③In group 1 ,significant decreases in the levels of CRP,total cholesterol was observed (P=0.021 and 0.038). ④In group 2, group 3 there were slightly decrease of CRP after treatment, but the difference did not reach statistieal significance. Conclusions Good compliance to nCPAP treatment decreases the serum levels of cardiovas-cular risk factors, indicating a beneficial effect on the overall cardiovascular disease prevention and control.

Based upon the measure of depression as defined by Hamilton depression scale (HAMD)scores ＞ 17,120 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were classified into 2 groups:COPD patients with or without depression.According to the mini-mental state examination (MMSE),the cognitive functions of all patients were evaluated.Meanwhile,oxygen saturation and pulmonary function were measured by blood gas analyzer and spirometer respectively.Fifty-four COPD patients were complicated with depression.HAMD scores were significantly negatively correlated with oxygen saturation and pulmonary function (P ＜0.05).Multiple regression analysis revealed that gender,oxygen saturation and MMSE scores were risk factors of depression (P ＜ 0.05).MMSE scores decreased more obviously in the COPD patients with depression and were positively correlated with oxygen saturation (P ＜ 0.01).A negative correlation existed between MMSE scores and HAMD scores (r =-0.549,P ＜ 0.05).

AIM: To determine the concentration of escitalopram in human plasma by HPLC-MS/MS and investigate the pharmacokinetics of escitalopram. METH-ODS: The method involved protein precipitation with methanol. The chromatographic separation was achieved within 6.0 min by using methanol-water with 15 mmol·L-1 ammonium acetate-formic acid (72:28:O.1, v/v/v) as mobile phase and a Lichrospher CN 150 mm×4.6 mm analytical column. The analytes were detected using an electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry in SRM mode. Detection of the ions was performed by monitoring the transitions of m/z 325.0 to 234.0 for escitalopram and m/z 409.1 to 238.1 for amlodipine (intemal standard), respectively. RESULTS:The standard curve was linear ( r = 0. 999) over the concentration range of 0.20 - 50.00 ng· ml- 1. Accuracy and precision were below the acceptance limits of 15%. The recoveries of escitalopram ranged from 96.0% to 103.6%. The lower limit of quantification for escitalopram was 0.20 ng· ml-1 using 200 μl plasma sample.The pharmacokinetic parameters of escitalopram after a single oral dosing of escitalopram oxalate tablet (10 rog)to ten healthy male volunteers were achieved. The Cmax, Tmax, AUC0-t, AUC0-∞, t1/2 and Ke of escitalopram were 9.21±2.10 ng·ml-1 , 3.75±1.04 h, 514.6±152.3 ng·h·ml-1 ,540.5±162.3 ng·h·ml-1 , 34.06±7.71 h and 0.021±0.004 h-1,respectively. CONCLUSION:The determination of concentration of escitalopram in human plasma by HPLC-MS/MS method was repid, sensitive and reliable. It can be used for clinical pharmacokinetic study of escitalopram.
