RESUMEN
To compare the value of light-cured composite resin with that of nano-composite resin in dental caries repair. 88 patients taking dental caries repair in our hospital from May 2014 to April 2015 were selected, and divided into observation group and control group by coin method with 44 patients in each group. Nano-composite resin was used in observation group, while light-cured composite resin in control group. Then, the occurrence rates of odontohyperesthesia, aesthetic satisfaction with dental caries repair and complications were compared between two groups by visual analogue scale (VAS). The occurrence rate of odontohyperesthesia in observation group is significantly lower than that in control group (9.09% (4/44) vs 31.82% (14/44), 6.82% (3/44) vs 22.73% (10/44), 2.27% (1/44) vs 13.64% (6/44)) with difference of statistical significance (P<0.05) 1 week, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks after repair. VAS score of patients in observation is significantly lower than that in control group ((2.78±0.56) scores vs (5.22±0.76) scores, (2.02±0.35) scores vs (4.32±0.57) scores, (1.12±0.14) scores vs (2.41±0.43) scores) 1 week, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks after repair. Moreover, the difference in comparison of interactive effects between two groups, between different time points, and between groups at different time points has statistical significance (P<0.05). Nano-composite resin can lower the occurrence rate of odontohyperesthesia in dental caries repair, reduce the pain of patients, and improve the satisfaction of patients with tooth appearance.
RESUMEN
To assess the application of quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) on rapid screening of azoospermia factor (AZF) microdeletions, 1218 infertile men with non-obstructive azoospermia or oligospermia were detected for 9 sequence tagged sites (STSs) in AZF region by multiplex QF-PCR combined with capillary electrophoresis. AMEL (amelogenin) as well as SRY (sex-determining region of Y chromosome) located on short arm of sex chromosome was selected as internal control. Karyotyping was performed on Giemsa-banded metaphase chromosomes of peripheral blood lymphocytes. Of the 1218 patients, 105 (8.62%) were identified as AZF microdeletions. Deletion of AZFc (67.62%) was the most frequent, followed by deletion of AZFb,c (20.95%), AZFb (7.62%) and AZFa (3.81%). Five patients presented with deletions of both AZFa,b,c and AMEL-Y, indicating sex reversal which was confirmed to be 46,XX by karyotyping. Among the 105 patients with AZF microdeletions, 16 were karyotyped as chromosomal anomalies, most commonly 46,XY,Yqh- (75%, 12/16). In addition, of the total 1218 patients examined, 86 patients showed abnormal AMEL-X/AMEL- Y ratio, suggesting a possibility of sex chromosome anomalies, and 68 of them were verified as sex chromosome aneuploid by karyotyping. Multiplex QF-PCR is capable to detect all markers in one reaction and is also suggestive for sex chromosome anomalies. It could serve as an effective technique for screening Y-microdeletions, and thus have general application in diagnosis and treatment of male infertility.
