Polylactic acid (PLA) root replica in ridge maintenance after loss of a vertically fractured incisor

Abstract A periodontally affected tooth was prepared for a special treatment: Calcium hydroxide was introduced into the apical half of the root canal whereas its cervical part was filled with glass ionomer cement. The tooth was shortened subgingivally. After 6 weeks of epithelization over the residual root a palatal full-thickness flap was mobilized. The root was carefully extracted and chairside copy-milled from the biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA) material. The PLA-replica was implanted immediately into the socket and the flap was sutured. Aim of the treatment was to prevent the ridge collapse of the extraction area. Ridge height could be preserved during the 21 months of observation. With time the radiographic density of the cancellous bone increased in the implanted area, indicating that a PLA-replica is replaced by host's bone tissue.     

开式涡轮转盘塔的操作区域

考察了开式涡轮转盘塔(OTRDC)中的分散相滞留率和液泛特性。采用五种不同的液-液体系,在两种不同直径的塔中进行了实验。给出了估算分散相滞留率的关联式及无传质时临界转速的判据,进而大体上确认了OTRDC的操作区域。     

Extraction of Serum Proteins Adsorbed on the Surface of Dialysis Membranes

Abstract: Extraction of adsorbed proteins from dialysis membranes that had been used during actual hemodialysis procedures was performed. The condition of extraction with SDS plus 2–mercaptoethanol at 95°C is more efficient than with only PBS or with SDS solution without 2–mercaptoethanol at 37°C.     

How adverse drug reactions can play a role in innovative drug research

We describe how adverse drug reactions (ADRs) can play an important role in pharmaceutical research and drug development. Not only do ADRs represent the risks and drawbacks associated with drugs but they can also be related to other knowledge available in pharmaceutical and medical research. We offer a model that can be used to systematically map the pathways through which ADRs can lead to innovative research. These pathways include chemical, therapeutic or pathophysiological steps that can be taken to arrive at new knowledge based on ADRs. We used the development of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, especially captopril, as a case study. The similarity between the ADR profiles of captopril and penicillamine was a starting point for further innovation. Historical analysis shows that in several instances research in the field of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors has been triggered by ADRs. The model presented here might be applicable to other areas of innovative drug research.     

Duchenne型肌营养不良症

作者综述了１０年来对Ｄｕｃｈｅｎｎｅ型肌营养不良症（ＤＭＤ）的研究概况。主要包括①ＤＭＤ的临床研究。②血清生化研究表明ＣＫ、ＬＤＨ、Ｍｂ是诊断ＤＭＤ病人和携带者的敏感指标。③心脏无创性检测和肌肉超微结构研究。④部分抗肌萎缩蛋白基因ＹＡＣ物理图谱，精细限制酶图谱和缺失热区的核苷酸顺序分析，首次发现内含子中ＡＴ富集区的同源顺序与ＤＭＤ断裂有关。⑤抗肌萎缩蛋白的缺失热区疏水肽段存在与否与ＤＭＤ发病密切相关。     

三辛胺萃取酸过程的稀释剂效应

研究了三辛胺萃取酸过程的机理,得到三辛胺与强酸生成离子缔合型萃合物,与弱酸生成分子型萃合物。对强酸需要克服水化作用,其萃取能力小于弱酸,其分配比与酸根离子的离子势有关。萃取弱酸时,分配比与酸分子的大小和性质有关。萃取弱酸的稀释剂效应显著,可使分配比提高30～70倍。三辛胺对羧酸的萃取能力取决于萃合物与稀释剂的相互作用能力及其在稀释剂中的疏溶作用,相互作用能力越强,疏溶作用越弱,越有利于萃取。     

悦您定对原发性高血压患者长期与即刻疗效的观察

观察了悦您定治疗６０例原发性高血压患者的长期疗效，２０例原发性高血压患者的即刻疗效，及用药过程中的个体反应。长期疗效与即刻疗效分析均有明显统计学意义（Ｐ＜０．０１）。两组患者，经临床与相应实验室检查均未发现肝、肾、血液系统伤害性副作用。     

正常人及大鼠心脏内皮素转换酶的分布

目的:了解正常人和大鼠心脏各部分内皮素转换酶(Endothelin-conveerting en-zyme,ECE)的分布。方法:采用半定量RT-PCR法检测ECE mRNA表达,同时根据外源性的巨内皮素-1转变为内皮素-1的量判定ECE活性。结果:正常人心脏各部位心肌均存在ECE,ECEmRNA表达和活性的分布特点一致:心房显著高于心室,左、右心房间及左、右心室和室间隔间无显著性差异。大鼠的ECE mRNA表达和活性分布规律与人相似。结论:正常人和大鼠心脏各组分均存在ECE,且两者的分布规律相似。     

Laparoscopic trans-cystic-duct common-bile-duct exploration

One thousand seventy-one consecutive laparoscopic cholecystectomies were performed. Routine cholangiography was employed with a 99% success rate. One hundred thirty patients were found to have common duct stones (CBDS). In 48 (37%) patients they were unsuspected. One hundred eleven patients underwent attempted trans-cystic-duct extraction techniques (TCD-CBDE). One hundred three (93%) were successful. The following techniques were employed: 101—biliary endoscopy, 23—ampullary balloon dilation, 2—fluoroscopic basket retrieval.The average operative time was 136 min. The average postsurgical stay was 3.7 days. There were 19 (17%) complications—6 (5%) major. There were 4 retained stones (2 intentional) and 1 death. Patients over 65 years of age had more complications and patients with unsuspected CBDS under 65 years of age had the fewest.TCD-CBDE is a safe, effective way to extract common duct calculi. Endoscopy and basket stone retrieval was the primary technique employed.Presented at the annual meeting of the Society of American Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES), Nashville, Tennessee, USA, 18–19 April 1994
