RESUMO

Malocclusion is an oral disease with a high prevalence. The goal of orthodontic treatment is health, aesthetics, function and stability. The transmission straight wire appliance and technique is an innovative orthodontic system with independent intellectual property rights invented by Professor Jiuxiang Lin's team based on decades of clinical experience, which provides a new solution for the non-surgical correction of skeletal malocclusions, especially class Ⅲ malocclusion, and it is also a good carrier for the implementation of the concept of healthy orthodontics. Due to the lack of guidelines, how to implement standardized application of transmission straight wire technique remains a problem to be solved. This technical specification was formed by combining the guidance from Professor Jiuxiang Lin and joint revision by a number of authoritative experts from the Orthodontic Special Committee, Chinese Stomatological Association, with reference to relevant literatures, and combined with abundant clinical experience of many experts. This specification aims to provide reference to standardize the clinical application of transmission straight wire technique, so as to reduce the risk and complications, and finally to improve the clinical application level of this technique.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to investigate the safety and antiviral efficacy of a Chinese multiherb extract-based tincture (GWK) on a population of patients with high-risk human papilloma (hrHPV) infections and hrHPV-caused cervical low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSILs). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with persistent hrHPV infection were enrolled in Group A, including A1 subjects, who received the intervention, and A2 subjects, who received the control. Patients with hrHPV infection causing cervical LSIL were enrolled in Group B, which included B1 subjects, who received the intervention, and B2 subjects, who served as the control. For Groups A1 and B1, hrHPV was tested at 3 months (M3) and 6 months (M6) after the intervention. The side effects were also analyzed. RESULTS: At baseline (D0), a total of 99 patients were enrolled in Group A, with 50 subjects in Group A1 and 49 subjects in Group A2. A total of 91 patients were enrolled in Group B, with 45 subjects in Group B1 and 46 subjects in Group B2. There was no significant difference in the characteristics, including average age, age stratification, and HPV genotype. At M6, both Group A1 and Group B1 had a higher hrHPV clearance rate than the control group (A1/A2: 80.0% vs. 20.4%; B1/B2: 64.4% vs. 15.2%, p<0.001). At M6, the effective rates of Group A1 and Group B1 were 84% (42/50) and 68.9% (31/45), respectively. The side effect rates of Groups A1 and B1 were 11.5% (6/52) and 11.1% (5/45), respectively. Most adverse reactions involved local discomfort, including vulvar erythema, vulvar itch, increased vaginal discharge, cervical bleeding, and mild pain in the lower abdomen. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that the intervention had an OR of 12 (95% CI 4.431-32.50) for clearing persistent HPV infection (p<0.001). For cervical LSIL, the intervention had an OR of 10.1 for clearing persistent HPV infection (95% CI 3.68-27.7) (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that the Chinese multiherb extract-based tincture GWK is safe and well tolerated. Furthermore, this preliminary study showed that this Chinese multiherb extract-based tincture is helpful for promoting HPV clearance in cases of persistent HPV and HPV-induced LSIL.

RESUMO

Cleft lip and palate is the most common congenital maxillofacial defect. The modern treatment of cleft lip and palate is a sequential treatment with multidisciplinary collaboration, which can restore the maxillofacial morphology and function, and rebuild the psychosocial adaptation of the patients. Orthodontic treatment is almost throughout whole process of the sequential treatment. Due to the professional attention to maxillofacial growth and development, orthodontists have become one of the most crucial members during the multidisciplinary treatment of cleft lip and palate. Orthodontists are required in the different stages of maxillofacial growth and development to provide suggestions and necessary treatment. By orthodontic treatment, it can not only solve the problem of malocclusion and promote the maxillofacial growth and development, but also create a favourable condition for other therapies of sequential treatment, such as cleft lip and palate repair, bone grafting, prosthodontics, and even mental health. In order to improve the therapeutic effect of comprehensive treatment and to alleviate the burden of patients, orthodontists should learn more about the treatment of cleft lip and palate. This article mainly introduced the craniofacial deformities of cleft lip and palate and the progress of orthodontic treatment in the multidisciplinary treatment of cleft patients.

RESUMO

Objective: To examine the antioxidant effect of low dosage insulin glargine intervention at different time in rats with delayed resuscitation after burn, in order to acquire a better time of antioxidant intervention during delayed resuscitation following burn injury. Methods: With 10 rats in each group, 50 male SD rats were assigned to sham injury group, delayed resuscitation group, immediate post-burn insulin glargine treatment group (immediate treatment group), 2 hours post-burn insulin glargine treatment group(2 h treatment group), and 6 hours post-burn insulin treatment group(6 h treatment group) with random number table. Each treatment group received subcutaneous injections of insulin glargine (1.0 U·kg-1·d-1) immediately, two hours and six hours after the burn, while the delayed resuscitation group received the same amount of normal saline six hours after the burn. To imitate delayed fluid resuscitation, the delayed resuscitation group and each therapy group were intraperitoneally injected with normal saline (40 ml/kg) 6 hours after injury. No medicine and fluid resuscitation was administered to the sham injury group. Rats in the sham injury group had their abdominal aortic blood, hearts, and kidney tissues collected immediately after injury, while rats in the other groups had their blood and tissues collected 24 hours later. To analyze the timing of antioxidant intervention, the activities of CuZn-superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), xanthine oxidase (XOD) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) in blood glucose and myocardial and renal tissues were measured by spectrophotometry. Results: Compared with the sham group, blood glucose levels in the delayed resuscitation group increased [(10.72±0.80) vs (6.57±0.82)mmol/L,P<0.001], while in the myocardium and kidney, the activities of CuZn-SOD, CAT, GSH-Px and T-AOC decreased (all P<0.05) and the activities of XOD and MPO increased (all P<0.05). Compared with the delayed resuscitation group, blood glucose decreased in the immediate, 2 h, and 6 h treatment groups (all P<0.05). In the immediate and 2 h treatment group, the activities of CuZn-SOD, CAT, GSH-Px and T-AOC in the myocardium and kidney increased(all P<0.05). In the 6 h treatment group, only the activities of GSH-Px in myocardium, CAT and GSH-Px in kidney increased (all P<0.05). Compared with the delayed resuscitation group, in the immediate treatment group, the activities of MPO and XOD in myocardial tissue and XOD in renal tissue decreased (all P<0.05). The activities of MPO and XOD in myocardial and renal tissues of the 2 h treatment group both decreased (all P<0.05). In the 6 h treatment group, the activities of MPO in myocardial tissue and XOD in renal tissue both decreased (all P<0.05). Compared with the immediate treatment group, the activity of GSH-Px in myocardial tissue increased (P<0.05), and the activities of CuZn-SOD, CAT, GSH-Px and T-AOC in renal tissue increased in the 2 h treatment group (all P<0.05). The activities of CuZn-SOD, CAT, GSH-Px and T-AOC in myocardium of 6 h treatment group decreased (all P<0.05). Compared with the immediate treatment group, the activities of XOD and MPO in myocardial tissue and XOD in renal tissue of the 2 h treatment group had no significant difference (all P>0.05), but the activity of MPO in renal tissue decreased (P<0.05). The activities of XOD and MPO in myocardial tissue of the 6 h treatment group increased (all P<0.05). Compared with the 2 h treatment group, the activities of CuZn-SOD, CAT and GSH-Px and T-AOC in myocardium and kidney tissues in the 6 h treatment group decreased (all P<0.05), while the activities of XOD and MPO in myocardium and kidney tissues increased [myocardium: (374±8) vs (290±19) U/g, (0.021 8±0.003 9) vs (0.010 7±0.002 4) U/g, kidney: (157±6) vs (128±9) U/g, (0.026 8±0.004 3) vs (0.013 4±0.003 1) U/g, all P<0.05]. Conclusions: The timing of the intervention is related to the antioxidant effect of insulin glargine during delayed burn resuscitation. The intervention immediately and 2 hours after burn could have a better antioxidant effect compared to the intervention at 6 hours after burn.

RESUMO

The early orthodontic treatment of malocclusion includes the growth modification of skeletal discrepancy, preventive and interceptive orthodontic treatment of the dental malocclusion or oral habit. Therefore, early orthodontic treatment is to guide the normal dento-maxillafacial growth and development, eliminate the adverse effect on function of masticatory system and the health of dental and periodontal tissues. Most of the patients in the early permanent dentition are still in their pubertal growth period. Although all kind of comprehensive orthodontic treatment could be started from early permanent dentition, early orthodontic treatment can still be used in the cases such as class Ⅱ malocclusion caused by underdevelopment of mandible and crossbite caused by underdevelopment of maxilla in the early permanent dentition. The article will discuss class Ⅱ malocclusion caused by underdevelopment of mandible and anterior and posterior crossbite caused by underdevelopment of maxilla which are feasible for early orthodontic treatment.

RESUMO

In recent years, developing new methods to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) has attracted extensive attention in the field of orthodontic clinical and scientific research. It reduces orthodontic treatment time and risks. Over the past, various approaches have been done to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement. Several forms of corticotomy techniques have been effective in inducing rapid tooth movement. These techniques activate regional acceleratory phenomenon and create a favorable microenvironment for accelerating tooth movement. Root resorption is one of most common side effects of orthodontic treatment. It affects the long-term viability and health of teeth. However, the effect of corticotomy techniques accelerating orthodontic tooth movement on root resorption still remains unclear. Accelerating tooth movement may have two-side effects on root resorption. Through shortening the treatment period and removing the hyalinized tissues, the acceleration of orthodontic tooth movement could reduce root resorption. The increase of root resorption might be due to the local inflammation and function of cementoclasts/odontoclasts. In this paper, we reviewed the effects of different corticotomy techniques accelerating orthodontic tooth movement on root resorption. Corticotomy techniques deal with mucoperio-steal flaps and bone tissues differently and develop towards minimally invasive. Previous studies on root resorption use two-dimensional images, including apical films and panoramic tomography, to evaluate the degree of root resorption. In recent years, researches measure the volume of root resorption accurately using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and micro-CT. Most studies suggest that the root resorption during acceleration of orthodontic tooth movement through corticotomy techniques is not statistically different from that of traditional orthodontic treatment. Some studies using micro-CT have shown that the root resorption in the groups of corticotomy techniques increases compared with the control group without surgery. Because of the short duration of these studies, the clinical significance is controversial on the overall impact of corticotomy techniques on orthodontic treatment. Accelerating orthodontic tooth movement is still at its emerging phase and need further research in the form of clinical trials to illustrate the effect of corticotomy techniques accelerating orthodontic tooth movement on root resorption.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Verrucous epidermal naevi (VEN) are benign skin tumours, considered keratinocytic epidermal naevi, that appear at birth or early childhood. VEN may display a range of appearances, depending on patient age. Although the number of studies regarding VEN is increasing, the exact mechanism of VEN is still unknown. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to analyse the changes in the expression of protein factors in lesions of VEN children by TMT labelling-based quantitative proteomics. METHODS: A total of 8 children with VEN (5 for experiment and 3 for validation) and 8 healthy children (5 for experiment and 3 for validation) presented to the Department of Dermatology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, Boao Super Hospital, between January 2019 and November 2019. The lesions and lesion-adjacent tissues from children with VEN and naevus-adjacent normal skin tissues from children with pigmented naevi were defined as the VEN group, VENC group and C group, respectively. We performed a proteomics analysis to screen for differentially expressed proteins in the lesions of these individuals. We further performed Western blotting to validate the relative expression levels of nine targeted proteins in the validation group. RESULTS: According to the proteomics results, a total of 4970 proteins were identified, and 4770 proteins were quantified. Among these proteins, 586 proteins were up- or downregulated at least 1.3-fold with a P-value < 0.05 (upregulated: 399, downregulated: 187) in lesions between the VEN group and the C group. These proteins played important roles in multiple biological functions, such as cornification, epidermal cell differentiation and neutrophil activation, and formed a complicated protein-protein interaction network. Of the 586 up- or downregulated proteins, nine were selected for further validation. According to Western blotting analysis results, the relative expression levels of Involucrin, NDUFA4, Loricrin, Keratin type II cytoskeletal 6A (Cytokeratin 6A), BRAF, Filaggrin, S100A7 and Desmocollin-3 were significantly upregulated in VEN children and may be associated with skin barrier dysfunction, epidermal cell overgrowth and differentiation, inflammation and immune and oxidative phosphorylation, which are involved in the pathogenesis of VEN. CONCLUSIONS: According to TMT-based proteomics and Western blotting results, we identified eight noteworthy proteins, Involucrin, NDUFA4, Loricrin, Keratin type II cytoskeletal 6A, BRAF, Filaggrin, S100A7 and Desmocollin-3, that were upregulated in the lesions of VEN children and may be associated with the pathogenesis of VEN. Our findings provide new starting points for identifying precise pathogenic mechanisms or therapeutic targets for VEN.

RESUMO

Objective: The severity of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) has a tendency to increase with age. The purpose of this study was to explore whether oral appliance (OA) treatment can block this age-related change. Methods: This study was a retrospective study. Fifteen patients (12 males,3 females) of OSAHS treated with OA were selected as treatment group,with an average age of (47.44±10.00) years and initial body mass index (BMI) of (26.31±3.33) kg/m(2). The follow-up length was 54 [22, 100] months. Nineteen patients (13 males,6 females) with untreated OSAHS served as controls, with an average age of (45.00±9.26) years and initial BMI of (25.53±2.58) kg/m(2),and the follow-up length was 35 [26,63] months. There were no significant differences in terms of gender,age,initial BMI, apnea hypopnea index(AHI), and follow-up length between the two groups. Polysomnography(PSG) data for the two groups were compared to observe the sleep respiratory function changes as aging by Wilcoxon test. Results: There was no significant difference in BMI of the treatment group and the control group at the time of follow-up, with BMI of treatment group from (26.31±3.33) kg/m(2) to (25.67±3.65) kg/m(2),Z=-1.223,P=0.221; and BMI of control group from (25.53±2.58) kg/m(2) to (25.12±2.72) kg/m(2),Z=-1.193,P=0.233. There was no significant difference in the change of AHI within the treatment group, from 26.20 [11.50, 52.98]/h to 23.10 [16.00, 45.00]/h, Z=-0.284, P=0.776; AHI in the control group was higher than that at the first visit, and the AHI increased from 15.00 [10.72, 28.90]/h to 31.10 [13.00, 41.80]/h, Z=-3.481, P<0.001. The longest apnea duration was not statistically different in the treatment group, from 60.00 [56.40, 74.00] s to 63.00 [52.00, 77.00] s, Z=-0.345, P=0.730; the longest apnea duration in the control group increased from 42.00 [34.00, 56.70] s to 46.00 [37.00,62.00] s,Z=-2.274,P=0.023. There was no significant difference in the lowest blood oxygen saturation of the treatment group and the control group, with the treatment group from 72.47%±12.69% to 72.73%±17.59%, Z=-0.597, P=0.550; and the control group from 78.21%±9.30% to 76.42%±12.17%, Z=-0.153, P=0.879. Conclusion: Symptoms of sleep apnea in OSAHS patients tend to increase with age,and oral appliance treatment may have the effect of slowing down this age-related worsening effect.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To study the relationship between Sonic hedgehog (Shh) associated single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and non-syndromic cleft lip and/or palate (NSCL/P), and to explore the risk factors of cleft lip and/or palate. Many studies suggest that the pathogenesis of NSCL/P could be related to genes that control early development, in which the Shh signaling pathway plays an important role. METHODS: Peripheral blood was collected from 197 individuals (100 patients with NSCL/P and 97 healthy controls). Haploview software was used for haplotype analysis and Tag SNP were selected, based on the population data of Han Chinese in Beijing of the international human genome haplotype mapping project. A total of 27 SNP were selected for the 4 candidate genes of SHH, PTCH1, SMO and GLI2 in the Shh signaling pathway. The genotypes of 27 SNP were detected and analyzed by Sequenom mass spectrometry. The data were analyzed by chi-squared test and an unconditional Logistic regression model. RESULTS: The selected SNP basically covered the potential functional SNP of the target genes, and its minimum allele frequency (MAF) was >0.05: GLI2 73.5%, PTCH1 91.0%, SMO 100.0%, and SHH 75.0%. It was found that the genotype frequency of SNP (rs12674259) located in SMO gene and SNP (rs2066836) located in PTCH1 gene were significantly different between the NSCL/P group and the control group. Linkage disequilibrium was also found on 3 chromosomes (chromosomes 2, 7 and 9) where the 4 candidate genes were located. However, in the analysis of linkage imbalance haplotype, there was no significant difference between the disease group and the control group. CONCLUSION: In China, NSCL/P is the most common congenital disease in orofacial region. However, as it is a multigenic disease and could be affected by multiple factors, such as the external environment, the etiology of NSCL/P has not been clearly defined. This study indicates that Shh signaling pathway is involved in the occurrence of NSCL/P, and some special SNP of key genes in this pathway are related to cleft lip and/or palate, which provides a new direction for the etiology research of NSCL/P and may provide help for the early screening and risk prediction of NSCL/P.

RESUMO

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of electroencephalogram (EEG) complexity in patients with neurosyphilis by comparing the changes of electroencephalogram Lempel-Ziv complexity (EEG-LZC) before and after anti-syphilis treatment. Methods The EEG complexity of neurosyphilis patients diagnosed in our hospital from July in 2015 to June in 2017 was analyzed and compared with other diagnostic results such as serology examination and cerebrospinal fluid examination. Results A total of 27 patients were diagnosed, including 19 males and 8 females, of which 6 were mesenchymal(cerebrospinal membrane and meningeal vascular), 16 were parenchymal(paralytic dementia, spinal cord tuberculosis and optic neuropathy), and 5 were asymptomatic. After intensive anti-syphilis therapy, the LZC increased significantly in all patients while the trend and degree of change were consistent with other diagnostic results. Conclusion The LZC can be used as one of the diagnostic indexes meanwhile the trend and degree of its change can be used as the reference index of curative effect to neurosyphilis.

RESUMO

Huangdi Neijing ()considered that "wasting-and-thirst" patients should not take mineral drugs. The period from Wei-Jin to Tang Dynasty, to meet the need for mildly strengthening Yang by tonic, people no longer considered that "wasting-and-thirst" patients can't take mineral drugs. It was popular to take mineral elixir. The rich people who consumed mineral elixir were susceptible of diabetes. The practitioners observed that taking mineral elixir and sexual behaviors were related to "wasting-and-thirst" , and therefore, they realized that taking mineral elixir was main cause of getting it. They inferred that "mineral heat" deposited in kidney and "kidney deficiency" resulted in "wasting-and-thirst" . Therefore, many cure medicines presented. Among the group of rich people from Wei-Jin to Tang Dynasty, many were patients of elixir poisoning and diabetes, also including its many complications. Some experiences and ideas of treating "wasting-and-thirst" patients from Wei-Jin to Tang are still helpful clinically to cure diabetes today.

RESUMO

Severe maxillary deficiency is often seen in cleft lip and palate patients due to multiple factors such as congenital defect, traumatic effect of surgeries and constriction of scar tissue, which causes moderate to severe crowding and anterior and posterior crossbite. Orthodontic treatment is usually difficult and time consuming. Upper arch expansion and maxillary protraction are often carried out to release transverse and sagittal intermaxillary discrepancy. Orthodontic treatment for cleft patients is different from that of non-cleft patients. Special management is needed and the stability of treatment should be considered. Relapse usually occurred after upper arch expansion especially in canine and premolar area. Over expansion should be cautious and orthognathic surgery may reduce the unstability of expansion. Maxillary protraction can improve the facial esthetics of the children with cleft. Alveolar bone grafting could improve the protraction effect and reduce the side effect such as clockwise mandibular rotation and upper incisor proclination. Forward movement of maxilla by protration is stable and continuous growth of the mandible is the most liable factor causing relapse. High mandibular angle and over growth of mandible are the risk factors of unstability of maxillary protraction.

RESUMO

Objective: To investigate the image quality and radiation dose with wide-detector(80 mm) and adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction-V (ASIR-V) technique at abdominal contrast enhanced CT scan. Methods: In the first phantom experiment part, the percentage of ASIR-V for half dose of combined wide detector with ASIR-V technique as compared with standard-detector (40 mm) technique was determined. The human experiment was performed based on the phantom study, 160 patients underwent contrast-enhanced abdominal CT scan were prospectively collected and divided into the control group (n=40) with image reconstruction using 40% ASIR (group A) and the study group (n=120) with random number table. According to pre-ASIR-V percentage, the study group was assigned into three groups[40 cases in each group, group B: 0 pre-ASIR-V scan with image reconstruction of 0-100% post-ASIR-V (interval 10%, subgroups B0-B10); group C: 20% pre-ASIR-V with 20%, 40% and 60% post-ASIR-V (subgroups C1-C3); group D: 40%pre-ASIR-V with 40% and 60% post-ASIR-V (subgroups D1-D2)]. Image noise, CT attenuation values and CNR of the liver, pancreas, aorta and portal vein were compared by using two sample t test and One-way ANOVA. Qualitative visual parameters (overall image quality as graded on a 5-point scale) was compared by Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H test. Results: The phantom experiment showed that the percentage of pre-ASIR-V for half dose was 40%. With the 40% pre-ASIR-V, radiation dose in the study group was reduced by 35.5% as compared with the control group. Image noise in the subgroups of B2-B10, C2-C3 and D1-D2 were lower (t=-14.681--3.046, all P<0.05) while CNR in the subgroups of B4-B10, C2-3 and D1-D2 were higher(t=2.048-9.248, all P<0.05)than those in group A, except the CNR of liver in the arterial phase (AP) in C2, D1 and D2 and the CNR of pancreas in AP in D1 (t=0.574-1.327, all P>0.05). The subjective image quality scores increased gradually in the range of 0-60% post-ASIR-V and decreased with post-ASIR-V larger than 70%. The overall image quality of subgroup B3-B8, C2-C3 and D1-D2 were higher than that in group A (Z=-2.229--6.533, all P<0.05). Conclusion: Compared with stand-detector together with ASIR technique, wide-detector combined with 40% pre-ASIR-V technique with 60% post-ASIR-V image reconstruction can reduce radiation dose while maintain good overall image quality.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the long-term efficacy of oral appliance treating of obstructive sleep apnea and hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) in different periods of treatment. METHODS: A total of 55 patients were included in the study. Patients were all diagnosed with OSAHS by overnight polysomnography and all received oral appliance (OA) as the therapy. The OA positioned the mandible at 60%-70% of the maximal mandible advancement position and created a 4-5 mm incisor separation. The patients were instructed to wear the appliance during sleep, 6-8 hours per day, for 5-7 days per week. They were divided into four groups by the period of treatment, including less than 1 year group; 1-2 years group; 2-6 years group and 6-9 years group. The polysomnographic study was used to investigate the efficacy of the four groups. The outcome measures included the score on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), the longest apnea time and the lowest oxygen saturation (LSaO2) levels during an overnight sleep. RESULTS: The AHI decreased significantly in all the four groups. The less than 1 year group decreased from 24.50 (14.65, 54.05) to 7.40 (2.12,10.00) events/h (P<0.001); The 1-2 years group decreased from 19.50 (12.15, 39.23) to 1.80 (0.70, 6.58) events/h (P=0.001); The 2-6 years group decreased from 25.00 (11.41, 42.60) to 4.50 (1.35, 7.90) events/h (P=0.001); The 6-9 years group decreased from 26.2 (16.95, 47.45) to 4.00 (1.90, 26.70) events/h (P=0.043). The longest apnea decreased significantly in less than 1 year group, 1-2 years group and 2-6 years group. The longest apnea decreased from 57.00 (37.70, 61.50) to 25.00 (15.90, 33.50) seconds (P<0.001) in the less than 1 year group, from 41.00 (25.50, 62.26) to 13.10 (0.00, 22.10) seconds (P=0.001) in the 1-2 year group and from 42.50 (30.35, 58.15) to 15.60 (0.00, 28.10) seconds (P=0.003) in the 2-6 year group. The LSaO2 levels increased significantly in the less than 1 year group and 2-6 years group. The LSaO(2) levels rose significantly in the less than 1 year group, from 74.18%±7.96% to 84.06%±7.67% (P=0.001), and in the 2-6 years group, from 76.71%±10.98% to 84.06%±4.64% (P=0.006), The LSaO2 levels did not increase significantly in the 1-2 years and 6-9 years groups. Kruskal-Wallis test showed that there were no statistically significant differences in the AHI, longest apnea time and LSaO(2) in 4 the groups. CONCLUSION: The oral appliance is an effective therapy for patients with OSAHS in the long-term treatment. However, it's recommended to make appointments with patients as a follow-up supervision whether there is any efficacy decrease. And the oral appliance should be replaced if necessary.

RESUMO

Objective: To investigate the value of combined use of half-dose spectral CT based on the automatic spectral imaging mode selection (GSI Assist) and adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR) in the CT examination of upper abdomen in obese patients as compared with conventional CT. Methods: Eight-two obese patients (body mass index≥29 kg/m(2)) were prospectively selected from October to December 2016, and contrast-enhanced CT during arterial phase (AP) and portal venous phase (PVP) were carried out in those patients.The patients were randomly assigned to the study group and control group with random number table (41 cases in each group). In the study group, half-dose spectral CT based on GSI Assist was applied and monochromatic images (40 to 70 keV, 10 keV as increment) were reconstructed using 50% ASIR (group A). In the control group, the fixed tube potential of 120 kVp was done with images reconstruction using 30% ASIR (group B). Quantitative parameters of radiation dose, CT value, contrast to noise ratio (CNR) and image noise were compared between the two groups by using two sample t test, while qualitative visual parameters (overall image quality as graded on a 5-point scale) were compared with Mann-Whitney U test. Results: There was significant difference in effective radiation dose between the two groups[(5.2±0.8) vs (10.4±1.7) mSv, t=-17.822, P<0.001], and it was decreased for 50% in group A. During the arterial phase (AP) and portal venous phase (PVP), at the energy level of 40 keV and 50 keV, higher CT values, higher or similar CNRs, higher image noise and lower overall image quality scores were found in group A when compared with group B. At the energy level of 60 keV, group A had higher CT values, higher or similar CNRs, similar overall image quality scores with higher or similar image noise as compared with group B. At the energy level of 70 keV, the two groups had similar CT values, CNRs and image noise, and higher overall image quality scores were found in group A. Conclusions: In obese patients, combined use of half-dose spectral CT based on GSI Assist and ASIR can reduce effective radiation dose up to 50% when compared with conventional upper abdominal CT.Monochromatic images at 70 keV can maintain CNR and improve overall image quality.

RESUMO

Water, methanol and ethanol extracts of Evodia rutaecarpa were tested for antinociceptive activity, which were correlated with the contents of evodiamine, rutaecarpine and evodine. Determination of contents was achieved by chromatographic techniques. Extracts were evaluated for antinociceptive activities using hot-plate test; acetic acid-induced writhing test and formalin test. All three extracts of Evodia rutaecarpa showed antinociceptive activities but the ethanol extract exhibited better effect. The better antinociceptive activity appeared to be related to higher contents of evodiamine, rutaecarpine and evodine in ethanol extract of Evodia rutaecarpa.

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to explore the effects and mechanisms of Icarisid II (ICA-II) on enhancing the cellular cGMP in rat corpus cavernosum tissue (RCCT). Diabetes mellitus Wistar rats were induced by streptozotocin, and diabetic ED rats were selected for the RCCT culture by apomorphine. ICA-II was extracted and purified from Icariin (ICA) by enzymatic method. The RCCT was treated with ICA-II, ICA and Sildenafil at different concentrations. cGMP and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activities were checked respectively by enzyme immunoassay. Meanwhile, nNOS, iNOS and eNOS in RCCT were checked by western blot. ICA-II evaluated the intracellular cGMP to 8.01 ± 1.02 pmol mg(-1) min(-1), which is much weaker than that from Sildenafil (12.4 ± 1.16 pmol mg(-1) min(-1)) (P < 0.05). There is no significant difference between ICA-II and ICA. With the treatment of 10 µm ICA-II for 24 and 48 h, nNOS expression was significantly increased in RCCT (P < 0.05), while the eNOS expression level was very low without any change. Notably, ICA-II increased the intracellular NOS activity significantly in vitro in RCCT. Except the PDE5 inhibitory effect, ICA-II increases the intracellular cGMP through the enhancement of nNOS expression and NOS activity in RCCT in vitro. ICA-II implies a potential compound for neurogenic erectile dysfunction by NO-cGMP pathway.

RESUMO

To further clarify the priming mechanism of liver regeneration, proteins and protein complexes from rat plasma (normal group, partial hepatectomy (PHx) group and sham-operation group) were comparatively studied by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and two-dimensional blue native gel electrophoresis. Our results suggested that Kupffer cell--NF-kappaB/ROS might trigger the liver regeneration.
