Objective To compare the effects of using three different filling appliances,CompothixoTM resin filler,conventional resin filler,and SonicFill sonic handpiece,on marginal microleakage after auxiliary resin filling of class Ⅱ cavities.Methods A total of 40 permanent molars extracted from the Department of Stomatology,Affiliated Hospital of Shandong Second Medical University(Weifang Medical University Affiliated Hospital)from October 2020 to February 2021 were collected and randomly divided into four groups:A,B,C,and D.Standard class Ⅱ cavities were prepared in the proximal and distal middle of the isolated teeth,filled according to the standard filling requirements of the instruments in each grouping,dissected after temperature cycling and methylene blue staining,and the dye penetration depths of the dental tissues and restorative axial and gingival walls were observed and graded under the body-view microscope to calculate the microleakage degree scores.Results Microleakage occurred in four groups,and tested by the Mann-Whitney U test,the microleakage scores of group A was higher than those of the other three groups(P<0.05);There was no statistically significant difference between groups B and C(P>0.05);The scores of groups B and C were higher than those of group D(P<0.05).Group A had higher microleakage scores than group D(P<0.05),and there was no statistically significant difference between the remaining groups(P>0.05).Conclusion The use of the CompothixoTM resin filler is beneficial in reducing microleakage between the resin and the tooth tissue when compared to conventional filling appliances;Compare with the SonicFill handpiece,the use of the CompothixoTM resin filler is not conducive to the reduction of microleakage between the SonicFill ultrasonic resin and the tooth tissue.

Objective:To explore the effect of the combined effect of noise and heat on occupational hearing loss of workers by using Meta-analysis method.Methods:In August 2020, the Chinese and English literature on the relationship between exposure to noise and heat and occupational hearing loss published from January 2005 to August 2020 by CNKI, China Biomedical Literature Service System, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, VIP Official Database, Medline and PubMed Databases were searched, using noise, heat or hyperthermia, hearing as keywords. The selected data were analyzed by Stata 12.0 software, and the combined OR (95% CI) value included in the literature was calculated. Sensitivity analysis was used to explore the source of heterogeneity and analyze publication bias. Results:A total of 14 literatures (14 in Chinese, 0 in English) were included in the analysis, and 38654 subjects were included, including 6411 workers in the noise and heat combined effect group and 32243 workers in the noise alone group. The probability of hearing loss in the noise and heat combined effect group was 1.39 times higher than that in the noise alone group (95% CI: 1.14-1.69). The effect size OR was stable after sensitivity analysis, and there was no publication bias in the included literatures tested by Egger's and Begg's Method ( z=0.38, P=0.702, t=-0.74, P=0.476) . Conclusion:Simultaneous exposure to noise and heat may increase the risk of hearing loss for workers in noisy workplaces.

The kinematic model parameter deviation is the main factor affecting the positioning accuracy of neurosurgical robots. To obtain more realistic kinematic model parameters, this paper proposes an automatic parameters identification and accuracy evaluation method. First, an identification equation contains all robot kinematics parameter was established. Second, a multiple-pivot strategy was proposed to find the relationship between end-effector and tracking marker. Then, the relative distance error and the inverse kinematic coincidence error were designed to evaluate the identification accuracy. Finally, an automatic robot parameter identification and accuracy evaluation system were developed. We tested our method on both laboratory prototypes and real neurosurgical robots. The results show that this method can realize the neurosurgical robot kinematics model parameters identification and evaluation stably and quickly. Using the identified parameters to control the robot can reduce the robot relative distance error by 33.96% and the inverse kinematics consistency error by 67.30%.

Objective:To study a new positioning method of elbow external fixation rotation axis,and to evaluate its feasibility.Methods:Four normal adult volunteers and six Sawbone elbow models were brought into this experiment.The kinematic data of five elbow flexion were collected respectively by opti-cal positioning system.The rotation axes of the elbow joints were fitted by the least square method.The kinematic data and fitting results were visually displayed.According to the fitting results,the average moving planes and rotation axes were calculated.Thus,the rotation axes of new kinematic methods were obtained .By using standard clinical methods,the entrance and exit points of rotation axes of six Sawbone elbow models were located under X-ray.And The kirschner wires were placed as the representatives of rotation axes using traditional positioning methods.Then,the entrance point deviation,the exit point de-viation and the angle deviation of two kinds of located rotation axes were compared.Results:As to the four volunteers,the indicators represented circular degree and coplanarity of elbow flexion movement tra-jectory of each volunteer were both about 1 mm.All the distance deviations of the moving axes to the ave-rage moving rotation axes of the five volunteers were less than 3 mm.All the angle deviations of the mo-ving axes to the average moving rotation axes of the five volunteers were less than 5 °.As to the six Saw-bone models,the average entrance point deviations,the average exit point deviations and the average angle deviations of two different rotation axes determined by two kinds of located methods were respective-ly 1.697 2 mm,1.838 3 mm and 1.321 7°.All the deviations were very small.They were all in an ac-cep-table range of clinical practice.Conclusion:The values that represent circular degree and coplanari-ty of volunteer's elbow single curvature movement trajectory are very small.The result shows that the elbow single curvature movement can be regarded as the approximate fixed axis movement.The new method can replace the traditional method in accuracy.It can make up the deficiency of the traditional fixed axis method.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the pathology, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of carcinomas arising in fibroepithelial neoplasms of the breast.

METHODSMorphological observation and immunohistochemistry using MaxVision method were performed in fifty-four cases of carcinoma arising from fibroepithelial neoplasms of the breast from January 2003 to February 2014.

RESULTSThirty-eight cases of carcinoma arose from fibroadenomas. Twelve cases were classical lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS). Twenty-one cases were ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), including four cases of low-grade, ten cases of intermediate-grade, six cases of high-grade and one case of apocrine. One case was mixed DCIS and LCIS. Three cases were infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IDC) accompanied with DCIS. One case was spindle cell metaplastic carcinoma. Sixteen cases arose from phyllodes tumours. Six cases arose from benign phyllodes tumours, including four cases of low-grade DCIS, one case of high-grade DCIS, and one case of classical LCIS with micro-invasion (diameter 0.9 mm). Three cases arose from borderline phyllodes tumours, including one case of classical LCIS, one case of intermediate-grade DCIS, and one case of invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) with LCIS. Seven cases arose from malignant phyllodes tumours, including two cases each of low-grade DCIS and intermediate-grade DCIS, one case of high-grade DCIS, one case of apocrine DCIS, and one case of mixed IDC with DCIS. By immunohistochemistry, LCIS and ILC were diffusely positive for ER and PR. Low-grade DCIS was diffusely positive for ER and PR ( > 90%), intermediate-grade DCIS was 70%-90% positive, high-grade DCIS was negative for ER and 20%-30% positive for PR, apocrine DCIS was both negative, and IDC was 40%-90% positive. The spindle cell metaplastic carcinoma was negative for ER and PR, but showed diffuse or scattered positivity for CK5/6 and p63.

CONCLUSIONSCarcinomas arising from fibroepithelial neoplasms of the breast are rare, showing unusual clinical presentation, and are characterized by in situ or invasive carcinomas in a background of fibroepithelial neoplasms. The accurate diagnosis depends on the recognition of the background fibroepithelial neoplasms and assessment of the nature of the epithelial proliferation, supplemented by immunohistochemistry when necessary.

Purpose To investigate clinicopathological features,diagnosis and differential diagnosis of tubular carcinoma of the breast.Methods Morphological observation and immunohistochemistry were applied in 29 cases of tubular carcinoma of the breast, and the literatures were also reviewed.Results The tumors were composed of open tubules, infiltrating haphazardly in the cellular desmoplastic stroma. The neoplastic tubules were enclosed by a single layer of epithelial cells with insignificant atypia or rare mitoses.The tumors were often associated with lobular neoplasm, columnar cell lesion, ductal atypical hyperplasia or carcinoma in situ. Immunostaining displayed that myoepithelial cells were absent or incomplete.Conclusions Tubular carcinoma of the breast is a peculiar subtype of breast carcinoma with good prognoses, which is easily confused with microglandular adenosis, radial sclerosing lesions,or low grade invasive ductal carcinoma.Immunohistochemistry is useful for the differential diagnosis.
