Objective To compare the retromolar space (RMS) between different antero-posterior (A-P) skeletal patterns, and explore the relationship between the status of third molar eruption/impaction with the different A-P skeletal patterns. Methods A total of 90 orthodontic patients (25-35 years old) were investigated from dental pantomograms (DPTs) and lateral cephalograms (LC). The subjects were divided into three groups according to their ANB angle:skeletal classⅠ, skeletal classⅡ, and skeletal classⅢ. Each group was subdivided into impacted and erupted subgroups. Values of DPT and LC were traced, and the following variables were measured including mandibular body length, third molar angulation and ret-romolar space width. Results The retromolar space width was significantly smaller in classⅡsubjects than that in classⅢsubjects, and RMS was significantly smaller in impacted group than that in erupted group, respectively (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the mandibular angle in erupted subgroup (P<0.05). There was a smaller mandibular body length in impacted subjects (P<0.05). Conclusion There is a relationship between different morphological characteristics of sagittal skeletal pattern and the impacted status. Patients with shorter mandibular body length and decreased RMS width are more inclined to impaction.

The completion of sequencing human genome creates a new era of biological science and technology. Although the sequence of the human genome has been known, it is still hard to rapidly explore the whole functional genes, especially, their interaction with each other and the meaning to the body. However, the "reverse biology" which comes into being in the recent years provides us a series of novel ideas and technologies for discovering new functional gene, among which the immune-related genes have attracted more attentions, clarifying how functional gene works and their potential value in application.

[Objective]To study diagnosis and treatment of insidious infection after the internal fixation of long bone fracture.[Method]Thirteen patients with insidious infection after internal fixation of long bone fracture were treated with irrigation after debridment. Among the 13 cases 8 fractures were dislodged internal fixation and then were fixed with the external fixation. 5 fractures were remained the internal fixation and were instilled after debridment. All of the patients were given with antibiotics for 2~3 weeks after operation.[Result]All the 13 patients were followed up. The follow-ranged from 8 to 48 months with an average of 23.5 months. Among the thirteen patients 11 fractured-bone had bony union, one nonunion and one case had fistula, Infection relapsed in two patients.[Conclusion]Bone defects, fracture nonunion often occur on patients who have insidious infection after internal fixation of long bone fracture. These patients need to be operated. In slight infections fracture can be remained after debridement. Fractures with seriously infectious have to dislodge internal fixation and to be fixed with made according to its radiographic changes.

Objective To investigate the relationship between circulating tumor cells(CTCs) in peripher-al blood and the prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients. Method From Mar 2010 to Mar 2015, patients with pancreatic cancer in guangzhou first people′s hospital were enrolled in this study. Immunomagetic negative en-richhment together with immunofluorescence were used to identify CTCs. The clinical data of all patients were analyzed. Result No CTCs were found in peripheral blood of healthy control cases. The detection date of CTCs was 60.0%. The positive rate of CTCs was closely correlated with cell differentiation and the clinical stage. Con clusion CTCs count in old patients with pancreatic cancer can reflect the status of the patients and is help-ful for the diagnosis of micrometastasis , re-determination of the clinical stage and the guidance of patients′s treatment. CTCs count can predict the survival time of elderly patients with pancreatic cancer.

Objective To investigate the factors related to choice of community health service centers (CHSCs) in standardized training general practitioners (GPs) in Shanghai.Methods Totally 152 GPs,(including those of Traditional Chinese Medicine) who completed the residency training in 2013 and signed employment contract with community in Shanghai were surveyed with a self-designed questionnaire.Results Among all the participants,113 (74.3%) attached the greatest importance to the salary level when choosing CHSC,58 (38.2%) expected annual salary more than 120 000 Yuan during the first 3 years.GPs tended to work in the city center(40.1%) or CHSCs near to their home(38.2%),mainly because of the job commuting (59.9%).Considering career development,the CHSCs with high level comprehensive service (51.3%) and with large population (5.0%) were more attractive.GPs paid more attention to the national demonstration community (57.2%) and CHSCs with member ofShanghai outstanding young physician training program(51.7%).In this survey,household register was the main influencing factor for choosing CHSCs,Shanghai natives paid more attention to the location of the community than those not Shanghai natives (61.8% vs.34.2%),more inclined to CHSCs that close to their house (55.3% vs.21.1%),non-Shanghai natives preferred authorized strength (51.3% vs.28.9%).GPs of Western medicine expected higher salary than GPs of TCM (x2 =13.648,P < 0.05),Males expected higher salary than females (x2 =7.799,P < 0.05),Conclusions GPs pay the most attention on salaries and tend to work in the city central area,prefer CHSC with high level comprehensive service and large served population.The main factor influencing GPs to chose CHSCs is the household register,the category of Gps and gender.

Objective To establish a Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) for Pseudomonas aeruginosa rapid detection. Method 152 P. aeruginosa strains isolated from nasal swabs and 30 reference strains were applied. P. aeruginosa ATCC15442 was used to develop LAMP amplification and evaluate sensitivity and specificity. Results Sensitivity of LAMP was 103 times higher than PCR, with DNA amount as 132 fg. When LAMP was applied to 30 reference strains and 152 P. aeruginosa strains , the specification was 100% while iden-tification rate reached 94.7%. Conclusion The establishment LAMP showed a promising prospect in P. aerugi-nosa rapid detection.

Objective To explore the inhibitory effect of decorin(DCN) on rat mesangial cell (MsC) growth and on the expression of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and p21 protein. Methods Lipofectin-mediated method was used to transfect DCN vector into MsC. After the screen and identification of transfected MsC, DCN-containing supernatant was collected and added into the culture medium of normal MsC, then flow cytometer was used to detect the cell cycle. Western blot analysis was used to explore the changes of MAPK and p21 protein. Immunofluorescence was adapted to detect the expression of p21 on cultured MsC. Results Compared with normal MsC, the number of G2-M cells treated with DCN-containing supernatant decreased to 35%(P
