The left lateral incisor with occlusal soreness of a 30-year old female was examined and treated.Radiographic examination re-vealed periradicular radiolucency around the apical and 3 canals.The 3 root canals were treated by root canal therapy,the tooth was restored by all-ceramic crown for the prevention of fracture.12 month follow-up showed that the treatment was effective.

Fourteen neonatal diabetes mellitus(NDM)patients were recruited. 9 patients were treated with glyburide and the other 5 with insulin. ABCC8, KCNJ11, and INS genes were sequenced in 6 of them. Gene mutations were found in 2, 1, and 1 cases in these genes, respectively. One case with 6q24 hypomethylation and another without known mutation were also found. 8 out of 9 patients treated with glyburide reached euglycemia(88.9%). The other 5 patients with insulin therapy either died or lost contact. The results suggest that glyburide therapy is effective in neonatal diabetes mellitus, while insulin therapy may contribute to poor compliance.
