Risk behaviors and its association with caries activity and dental caries in Japanese children

The aim of this study was to assess risk behaviors and its association with caries activity and dental caries in Japanese children. The subjects were 392 young Japanese children who underwent dental health check-up at 18, 30 and 42 months of age. Oral examinations, Cariostat tests and dental health questionnaires were carried out at each time. The caries prevalence of children was 1.5% at 18 months, 9.9% at 30 months and 28.1% at 42 months. Caries activity based on the Cariostat scores of children was correlated with caries status (caries-free/carious) at 42 months. In children with caries during each examination period at 42 months, eating snacks while playing was ranked as the most important behavioral risk (P < 0.001), followed by breast-feeding (P < 0.01), non setting of time for snacks (P < 0.05) and frequency of snacks (P < 0.05) at 18 months old; non brushing by mother (P < 0.05) and eating snacks while playing (P < 0.05) were ranked highest at 30 months old. In addition, eating snacks while playing (P < 0.001) at 42 months old was the only a significant factor for children with caries. Caries activity and risk behaviors were associated with caries experience at different age periods of childhood.

方格星虫酶解物成分分析及其抗氧化作用

用木瓜蛋白酶对方格星虫（Sipunculus nudus）进行酶促水解,并对酶解物冻干粉的成分进行了分析,其中粗蛋白质量分数为69.02%,多肽质量分数为60.60%,肽的平均链长为3.73个氨基酸残基,肽分子的平均相对分子质量为447.6;游离氨基酸占5.27%。氨基酸分析结果显示,方格星虫酶解物含有17种氨基酸（色氨酸未测）,其中人体必需氨基酸含量较高,占总氨基酸数的30.62%。方格星虫酶解物中还含有P、Fe、Mg、Mn、Zn、Cu、Se等至少12种矿质元素,以及含有抗氧化作用的营养成分,并通过动物试验证明了方格星虫酶解物具有显著的抗氧化作用。方格星虫酶解物可用于食品添加或用作功能性食品。     

聚甲基丙烯酸羟乙酯水凝胶人工晶状体材料的合成与性能

以甲基丙烯酸羟乙酯为原料,过硫酸铵/偏重亚硫酸钠为引发体系,二甲基丙烯酸三乙二醇酯为交联剂,采用溶液聚合法制备了聚甲基丙烯酸羟乙酯水凝胶(PHEMA)人工晶状体材料。系统考察了聚合反应时间、温度及引发剂和交联剂的用量等对该水凝胶材料机械强度、平衡水含量(EWC)的影响,并对PHEMA水凝胶的结构和光学性能进行了表征。实验结果表明,PHEMA水凝胶的最佳合成条件为:引发剂0.5wt%,交联剂1.0wt%,反应温度40℃,反应时间36h。在此条件下制备的PHEMA水凝胶的拉伸强度达到0.57MPa,邵氏A硬度为23.0,平衡含水量超过40%,透光率≥97%。
