There are many kinds of zirconia repair materials that have been introduced at home and abroad.Mechanical and aesthetic properties are the important factors for selecting zirconia materials.The process of diagnosis and treatment by dentists and the production by the workers in laboratory affect the final repair effects.To achieve accurate and efficient simulation of dental repair and treatment,effective cooperation between dentists and technicians is required.In this paper,the factors affecting mechanical and aes-thetic properties in the process of material selection,tooth wearing,restoration design and fabrication,concerning zirconia veneer,sin-gle-crown,fixed bridge and edentulous jaw implant fixed repair were discussed and summarized.The common failure reasons were ana-lyzed in order to improve the communication efficiency between dentists and technicians in the process of zirconia repair system and to a-chieve better repair effects.

Objective:To investigate the survival of cancer cases diagnosed during 2002-2013 in Shanghai. Methods:Data on new cancer cases with dead and follow-up information were obtained from the population-based cancer registry and vital statistics system of Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention.Survival indicators stratified by year of diagnosis,gender,site and age were analyzed.Number of cases and proportion were calculated.The observed survival rates were calculated based on the life table.The probabilities of surviving from 0 to 99 years old were estimated according to the Elandt-Johnson model,and then the cumulative expected survival rates were calculated according to the Ederer Ⅱ method.Finally,the relative survival rates and average annual percent changes of their trends were calculated.The age-standardized relative survival rates adjusted by International Cancer Survival Standard weights were calculated. Results:Total 644 520 new cancer cases were diagnosed during 2002-2013 in Shanghai,accounting for 643 545(99.85％)cases included in the observed cohort for survival analysis.The 5-year observed survival rate increased from 37.61％to 46.47％.The 5-year relative survival rate increased from 42.1 8％to 51.11％.The 5-year age-standardized relative survival rate increased from 40.57％to 49.80％.Among the 5-year relative survival rates of cases diagnosed during 2011 to 2013,99.43％of thyroid cancer was the highest,followed by female breast cancer(88.35％)and corpus uteri cancer(85.56％);5.87％of pancreas cancer was the lowest,followed by gallbladder cancer(13.64％)and oesophagus cancer(17.72％).the rate of lung cancer with the largest number of cases was 23.59％,followed by colorectal cancer(59.82％)and stomach cancer(38.65％).The 5-year relative survival rate of total cases of all sites increased from 40.55％in 2002 to 52.77％in 2013,with an average annual percent change of 2.40％.13 cancer types showed increasing trends,such as liver cancer and lung cancer,while the trends of other cancer types were not statistically significant,such as pancreatic cancer and gallbladder cancer. Conclusion:The diagnostic levels and survival rates of cancer cases have been improved continuously in Shanghai.The trends of different cancer types were varied.

Objective:To describe the long-term characteristics and trend changes in the incidence and mortality of female breast cancer in Shanghai from 1 973 to 2017,aiming to provide references for exploring the etiology of breast cancer and formulating strategies and measures for prevention,intervention and control. Methods:Joinpoint software was used to analyze the trend changes in the incidence and mortality of female breast cancer in Shanghai from 1 973 to 2017,and an age-period-cohort model was constructed to explore the effects of age,year of diagnosis,and birth cohort on long-term trend changes. Results:From 1 973 to 2017,there were 68 192 new cases of female breast cancer in Shanghai,with a diagnosed rate of 31.72/100 000.The incidence rate continued to rise,and the risk of the disease continued to rise from the age of 20 years,and the rise rate accelerated significantly after the age of 40 years.There were 21 535 female breast cancer deaths from 1 973 to 2017.The mortality rate was stable,with a death rate of 8.62/100 000,and the risk of death increased significantly from the age of 45 years.The effects of age,period and cohort had a significant impact on the incidence of breast cancer(P＜0.01),while the increase in mortality rate was related to age and cohort effects(P＜0.01). Conclusion:The incidence rate of female breast cancer in Shanghai is still rising rapidly,and the mortality trend is generally stable,suggesting that the treatment is effective and the quality of life is improved.However,breast cancer is still the main malignant tumor among females in Shanghai.It should be continued to implement prevention and control strategies such as lifestyle intervention and screening of high-risk individuals to further strengthen the prevention and control of breast cancer.

Objective:To explore the metabolic outcomes of type 2 diabetes patients with different durations after 1 year treatment under the standardized metabolic disease management model.Methods:(1)From September 2017 to September 2018, 345 type 2 diabetes patients in the Standardized Metabolic Management Center(MMC) of Shanghai General Hospital were recruited and included in this research. They were divided into newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes(duration≤1 year) and long-term groups(duration>1 year). The general characteristics, blood pressures, glycemic levels, lipids levels, control rates and comprehensive compliance rates(blood glucose, pressure and lipids all reached targets) were compared at baseline between 2 groups.(2)All patients underwent one year standardized management, and metabolic indicators mentioned above and control rates at the time were compared as well.Results:(1) At baseline, compared with long-term group, patients in newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes group were younger ( P<0.01), and 2 h blood glucose level after glucose loading were higher [(15.20±5.26 vs 13.68±4.94) mmol/L, P<0.01]. (2) After one year standardized management, body weight, blood pressure, glucose and lipids metabolism in all patients were significantly improved. Compared with patients in long-term group, newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients achieved better glycemic level [fasting blood glucose(6.27±1.56 vs 7.63±2.08) mmol/L, P<0.01; glycated hemoglobin(6.33±0.96 vs 7.23±1.37) %, P<0.01] , and had higher HOMA-β [(74.01±56.45 vs 40.17±37.07) %, P<0.01]. The glycemic control, blood pressure and blood lipids control rates in both groups increased significantly in one year. Comprehensive compliance rate of the whole patients increased from 5.80% to 24.06%. The metabolism indexes of the newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes group were better than those of the long-term group[comprehensive compliance rate: (24.73% vs 17.18%, P=0.087, glycemic control rate(84.62% vs 53.37%, P<0.01)]. Conclusion:Standardized metabolic disease management promoted the overall improvement in blood glucose, blood pressure, and lipids levels in type 2 diabetes patients, especially in terms of blood glucose and those of the newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes. In the future, we should focus on the early diagnosis and treatment of type 2 diabetes, actively promote the MMC model and stress the integrated management of blood glucose, blood pressure, and blood lipid levels. We should pay more attention to the long-term patients, to improve their awareness and treatment compliance.

Objective To standardize an expert consensus on pulmonary rehabilitation nursing of chronic respiratory diseases. Methods On the basis of literature review, 5 experts were interviewed and 19 experts were consulted to establish the primary and secondary themes. 10 nursing experts in this field were invited to conduct peer review on the draft consensus to modify and improve the consensus content. Results After expert consultations，14 first-level themes and 40 second-level themes were established. The value of Ca (judgment coefficient),Cs (familiarity coefficient) and Cr (authority coefficient) were 0.895,0.839 and 0.867 ,which indicated the expert consultation have high authority and credibility. The Kendall coefficients of first-round expert consultation were 0.121 and 0.151, and they were 0.205 and 0.149 in the second round (P<0.05).In the first-round expert consultation, the coefficients of variation of the first and second themes were 0.197 and 0.200,and in the second round ,they were 0.202 and 0.237. They were all less than 0.25 , indicating that the expert's judgment results were relatively consistent. Conclusion As this consensus was developed based on 19 clinical nursing professionals from across the country, it is scientific and authoritative. This consensus can not only benefit to clinical nursing practice, but also lay the foundation for the development of guideline, and it still needs further theoretical and empirical research verification.

Objective: To evaluate the long-term effect and safety of chrono-chemotherapy combined with intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods: 160 patients with locally advanced NPC were randomly divided into a chrono group and conventional group according to random number table. In the first stage, all patients underwent two cycles of induced chemotherapy, consisting of docetaxel, cisplatin and 5-Fu every 21 days. Notably, patients received chrono-moduated chemotherapy according to circadian rhythm in the chrono group, and conventional chemotherapy in the conventional group. Then, 21 days after the completion of first stage, three cycles of concurrent cisplatin chemotherapy every 21 days were given to all patients during IMRT. The median follow-up after the completion of radiotherapy was 31 months. Long-term side effects and the survival of patients were observed. Results: Patients in the chrono group had significantly lower rates of hearing loss (22.72%), dysphagia (0) and neck fibrosis (4.54%) compared with those in the conventional group (39.13%、8.69%, 15.94%, respectively, all P<0.05). Meanwhile, the 1- year overall survival rates (97.0% vs 92.8%), 3-year overall survival rates (80.3% vs 81.2%), 1-year progression free survival rates (95.5% vs 87.0%), 3-year progression free survival rates (71.2% vs 73.9%), 1-year locoregional relapse-free survival rates (97.0% vs 95.7%), 1-year locoregional relapse-free survival rates (92.4% vs 92.8%), 1-year distant metastasis-free survival rates (97.0% vs 98.6%) and 3-year distant metastasis-free survival rates (90.9% vs 91.3%) between the chrono group and the conventional group were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). Conclusions Compared with conventional chemotherapy, chrono-chemotherapy combined with IMRT didn′t affect long-term survival, but reducing the incidence of adverse events in patients with locally advanced NPC.

Objective: To compare the adverse events, immune status, and short-term efficacy between chronomodulated chemotherapy (CCR) and routine chemotherapy (RCR) combined with intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT)in the treatment of patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods: A total of 159 patients with newly diagnosed locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma were randomized into the CCR group and the RCR group to evaluate the short-term efficacy and adverse events. Results: No significant difference was found in CR, PR, SD, and PD between the CCR group and the RCR group (P>0.05), and no significant difference was observed in the response rate (CR+ PR) between the two groups (P>0.05). The incidence of leukopenia(Z=-2.222, P<0.05), neutropenia(Z=-1.999, P<0.05), vomiting(Z=-2.298, P<0.05), and oral mucositis(Z=-3.571, P<0.05)of the CCR group was lower than those of the RCR group with statistical significance. The CD16+ 56+ lymphocyte cell count was higher in the CCR group than that in the RCR group(Z=-2.332, P<0.05). Conclusions As a novel invention, CCR combined with IMRT can reduce the incidence and severity of treatment-related adverse events and improve immune status without diminishing clinical efficacy, therefore deserving clinical application.

Objective To explore the correlation between serum cystatin C,lipoprotein associated phospho-lipase A2 (LP-PLA2) and lower limb vascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods From August 2014 to December 2016,a total of 187 type 2 diabetic patients in Weihai Central Hospital were selected. According to the ankle brachial index (ABI),the patients were divided into without lower limb vascular disease group (SDM group,85 cases) and with lower limb vascular disease group (T2DM+LLVD group,102 cases).Meanwhile,82 healthy people were selected as control group.The cystatin C,LP-PLA2,hemoglobin (HbAlc),triglyceride,total cholesterol,high density lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol ( LDL-C) were calculated.Results Compared with the control group [(0.788 ±0.084)mg/L],the cystatin C was significantly high-er in the SDM group[(0.913 ±0.135)mg/L] and the T2DM +LLVD group[(1.114 ±0.225)mg/L],and the difference was statistically significant (t＝5.511,9.121,all P＜0.01).The cystatin C in T2DM+LLVD group was higher than that in the SDM group ( t ＝7.209,P ＜0.01 ).Compared with the control group [( 342.76 ± 33.49)ng/mL],LP-PLA2 was significantly higher in the T2DM+LLVD group[(513.54 ±94.26)ng/mL],and the difference was statistically significant ( t ＝11.428,P＜0.01 ).Compared with the SDM group [( 352.28 ± 67.82)ng/mL],the cystatin C and LP-PLA2 levels were significantly higher that in the T2DM+LLVD group,and the difference was statistically significant (t＝7.209,13.181,all P＜0.01).Conclusion Cystatin C and LP-PLA2 play important roles in type 2 diabetic patients with lower limb vascular disease.Cystatin C and LP -PLA2 may become the forecast indicators in type 2 diabetic patients with lower limb vascular disease.

In this study, we aimed to (1) identify white matter (WM) deficits underlying the consciousness level in patients with disorders of consciousness (DOCs) using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and (2) evaluate the relationship between DTI metrics and clinical measures of the consciousness level in DOC patients. With a cohort of 8 comatose, 8 unresponsive wakefulness syndrome/vegetative state, and 14 minimally conscious state patients and 25 patient controls, we performed group comparisons of the DTI metrics in 48 core WM regions of interest (ROIs), and examined the clinical relevance using correlation analysis. We identified multiple abnormal WM ROIs in DOC patients compared with normal controls, and the DTI metrics in these ROIs were significantly correlated with clinical measures of the consciousness level. Therefore, our findings suggested that multiple WM tracts are involved in the impaired consciousness levels in DOC patients and demonstrated the clinical relevance of DTI for DOC patients.
