Two-stage treatment of skeletal Class III malocclusion during the early permanent dentition.

A patient with skeletal Class III malocclusion was treated in 2 phases during the early permanent dentition. In phase 1, maxillary protraction was combined with rapid palatal expansion; in phase 2, fixed appliances were placed. The results were good posttreatment, and, 1 year later, a favorable growth tendency could be observed. This report shows that treatment for a patient with skeletal Class III malocclusion can be started in the early permanent dentition, with very good final results.

基层医院护理科研论文的现状和护士长工作指导

护理作为一门独立的专业，其发展应以科学研究为基础。护理科研、论文的数量和水平是评价一个地区或单位的护理整体水平的重要指标之一。笔者通过我院10年间医院工作人员科研立项、科研论文发表交流情况及护理人员论文写作的调查，对护理科研滞后的应用进行了综合分析，认为缺乏科研意识、科研潜力不足，观行制度制约，客观条件制约是重要因素。提出改变这种状态应从学科带头人入手，详细阐述了护士长对护理科研、论文工作的指导。     

Fidgetin-like 1 gene inhibited by basic fibroblast growth factor regulates the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts.

The FIGNL1 gene was proven to be a new subfamily member of ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities (AAA proteins). In this in vitro study, the AAA proteins inhibited osteoblast proliferation and stimulated osteoblast differentiation. We showed that FIGNL1 may play some regulatory role in osteoblastogenesis. INTRODUCTION: The fidgetin-like 1 (FIGNL1) gene encodes a new subfamily member of ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities (AAA proteins). Although the FIGNL1 protein localizes to both the nucleus and cytoplasm, the function of FIGNL1 remains unknown. In a previous study, we identified several genes that mediate the anabolic effects of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on bone by using microarray data. FIGNL1 was one of the genes that downregulated >2-fold in MC3T3-E1 cells after treatment with bFGF. Therefore, this study was aimed to identify and confirm the function of FIGNL1 on osteoblastogenesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We examined the effect of the FIGNL1 gene on proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis in mouse osteoblast cells (MC3T3-E1 and mouse primary calvarial cells) using flow cytometry, RT-PCR, cell proliferation assay, and cell death assay. MC3T3-E1 cells and mouse calvarial cells were transfected with small interfering RNA (siRNA) directed against the FIGNL1 or nontargeting control siRNA and examined by cell proliferation and cell death assays. Also, FIGNL1 was fused to enhance green fluorescent protein (EGFP), and the EGFP-fused protein was transiently expressed in MC3T3-E1 cells. RESULTS: Reduced expression of FIGNL1 by bFGF and TGF-beta1 treatment was verified by RT-PCR analysis. Overexpression of FIGNL1 reduced the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 and calvarial cells, more than the mock transfected control cells did. In contrast, siFIGNL1 transfection significantly increased the proliferation of osteoblasts, whereas overexpression of FIGNL1 did not seem to alter apoptosis in osteoblasts. Meanwhile, overexpression of FIGNL1 enhanced the mRNA expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteocalcin (OCN) in osteoblasts. In contrast, siFIGNL1 decreased the expression of ALP and OCN. A pEGFP-FIGNL1 transfected into MCT3-E1 cells had an initially ubiquitous distribution and rapidly translocated to the nucleus 1 h after bFGF treatment. CONCLUSIONS: From these results, we proposed that FIGNL1, a subfamily member of the AAA family of proteins, might play some regulatory role in osteoblast proliferation and differentiation. Further analyses of FIGNL1 will be needed to better delineate the mechanisms contributing to the inhibition of proliferation and stimulation of osteoblast differentiation.     

雷公藤多甙联合中草药治疗IgA肾病的病例对照研究

IgA肾病(immunoglobulin A nephropathy,I-gAN)是肾小球系膜病变的一个特殊类型,其发病机制尚未完全明确,临床表现复杂多样。目前,临床上常用的药物主要有激素、雷公藤、环磷酰胺等,都具有一定的疗效,但在药物副作用、血尿的消退、肾功能的稳定及停药后复发等方面均有各自的缺陷。笔者所在科室在慢性肾炎型IgAN的治疗上进行探索,现将结果报告如下。1资料与方法1.1病例选择及分组73例均为铜陵市第一人民医院肾内科住院并经肾活检证实的IgAN患者,除外各种继发性IgAN,并符合以下条件:①按Lee氏分级均在Ⅲ~Ⅳ级间;②无严重的肝损害;③血…     

Inhibitory effect of glycyrrhiza uralensis fish and chelidonium majus L on gastrocarcinogenesis induced by N-methyl-N′-nitron-N-nitrosoguanidine

In order to investigate the antagonistic effect of Glycyrrhiza Uralensis Fish (GUF) and Chelidonium maJus L (CML) on gastrccarcinogenesis induced by MNNG in Wastar rats, we treated the rats with MNNG alone (group 1) and with MNNG plus GUF and CML (group 2 and 3) respectively. The incidence of infiltrating adenocarcinoma of the glandular stomach and duodenum in group 2 was significantly lower than that in group 1 (26.7% vs. 67.8%). The differentiation and aggressivenees of carcinomas occured in group 2 were much better and mild than those in group 1. Present study also demonstrated that the inhibitory effect of CML on proliferation of human stomach carcinoma cell line MGC-803 was very remarkable; in addition, GUF and CML were able to antagonise the mutagenic activation of MNNG. These results suggest that GUF and CML may be empoyed in prevention of gastric carcinoma.

羊心淋巴流阻断后血清生化指标的改变

为给临床心脏术后监测心淋巴管损伤程度及可能出现的并发症提供参考指标，以手术方法阻断羊心淋巴流并对其血清相关成份进行了测定。实验发现，实验组术后谷草转氨酶（ＳＧＯＴ）、谷丙转氨酶（ＳＧＰＴ）、碱性磷酸酶（ＡＫＰ）、乳酸脱氢酶（ＬＤＨ）均有不同程度的增高，以ＳＧＯＴ增高最为明显，术前均值为４７．５３Ｕ，术后２天增至１０４．２０Ｕ，高峰出现时间最早，多在术后２４小时。血清离子改变中低钾最为突出，血钾在术后２天明显降低（Ｐ＜０．０１），术后７天逐渐恢复，术后１４天恢复至术前水平。血清蛋白改变以球蛋白降低、白蛋白／球蛋白比值升高为主。提示心淋巴循环郁滞可导致心肌细胞损伤、毛细血管通透性和结构的改变。不同酶活性的变化对郁滞的敏感度存在着差异。
