Objective To explore the application of urodynamics in the diagnosis and treatment of nonmonosymp-tomatic nocturnal enuresis(NMNE)in children,and to provide some evidence for its clinical treatment. Methods Patients who were clinically diagnosed as NMNE at Department of Pediatrics Kidney Rheumatism and Pediatric Urology of Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from January 2015 to August 2016 were collected. Sixty - six children with NMNE were included in the urodynamic study,and the different treatments were selected according to the results of the urodynamics and the efficacy was evaluated. Results The urodynamic results of 61 patients(92. 43％)were abnor-mal,and 5 cases(7. 57％)had no abnormalities. There were 35 cases with overactive bladder(OAB)in abnormal re-sults,with a remarkable decrease in bladder pressure capacity in 7 cases,detrusorsphincter discoordination(DSD)in 1 case,and OAB with other abnormal results in 18 cases. OAB was found in 53 cases,and the detection rate was 86. 89％(53 / 61 cases),accounting for 80. 3％(53 / 66 cases)of the total samples. The desmopressin acetate combined with Tolterodine tartrate was used to treat OAB patients,and its total effective rate was 94. 34％(50 / 53 cases). The biofeed-back treatment had effect on DSD child. The patients with a marked decrease in bladder pressure capacity and with the normal urodynamics received desmopressin acetate joint behavior training treatment,and the efficiency of the therapy was 71. 43％(5 / 7 cases)and 80. 00％(4 / 5 cases),respectively. Conclusions The urodynamics study can uncover the pathophysiological mechanism of NMNE,so this examination is essential for NMNE children to improve the treat-ment. Since the rate of OAB in NMNE is very high,it is suggested that anticholinergic medications combined with desmopressin can be used in the initial treatment of the NMNE patients to improve the rate of cure and prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the effect of thermal cycling on surface microstructure of different light-curing composite resins. Methods A nanofilled composite (Z350) and 4 microhybrid composites (P60, Z250, Spectrum, and AP-X) were fabricated from lateral to center to form cubic specimens. The lateral surfaces were abrased and polished before water storage and 40 000 thermal cycles (5/55℃). The mean surface roughness (Ra) were measured and compared before and after thermal cycling, and the changes of microstructure were observed under scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results Significant decreases of Ra were observed in the composites, especially in Spectrum (from 0.164±0.024μm to 0.140±0.017μm, P<0.001) and Z250 (from 0.169 ± 0.035μm to 0.144 ± 0.033μm, P<0.001), whose Ra approximated that of P60 (0.121 ± 0.028μm) with smoothly polished surface. SEM revealed scratches and shallower pits on the surface of all the 5 resins, and fissures occurred on Z350 following the thermal cycling. Conclusions Water storage and thermal cycling may produce polishing effect on composite resins and cause fissures on nanofilled composite resins.

OBJECTIVETo compare the surface roughness of nanofilled dental composite resin and microhybrid composite resins after curing and polishing.

METHODSA nanofilled composite (Z350) and 4 microhybrid composites (P60, Z250, Spectrum, and AP-X) were fabricated from the lateral to the medial layers to prepare 8 mm×8 mm×5 mm cubical specimens. The 4 lateral surfaces of each specimens were polished with abrasive disks (Super-Snap). Profilometer was used to test the mean surface roughness (Ra) after polishing.

RESULTSP60 had the lowest Ra (0.125∓0.030 µm) followed by Z250 and Spectrum. The Ra of Z350 (0.205∓0.052 µm) was greater than that of the other 3 resins, and AP-X had the roughest surfaces. Under scanning electron microscope, the polished faces of P60 resin were characterized by minor, evenly distributed particles with fewer scratches; the polished faces of Z350 presented with scratches where defects of the filling material could be seen.

CONCLUSIONThe nanofilled composite Z350 has smooth surface after polishing by abrasive disks, but its smoothness remains inferior to that of other micro-hybrid composite resins.
