Influence on binding of third-order torque to second-order angulation

Using an earlier model, which described the critical contact angle for binding from second-order angulation alone, a more generalized model is derived that combines the effects of angulation and torque. From this vantage point, the onset of binding is evaluated for 3 scenarios: second-order angulation alone, third-order torque only, and a combination of second-order angulation and third-order torque. These scenarios are detailed by plotting the critical contact angle for binding against the torque angle as a function of 10 wire dimensions (16 x 16, 16 x 22, 17 x 17, 17 x 22, 17 x 25, 18 x 18, 18 x 22, 18 x 25, 19 x 25, and 21 x 25 mil), 4 bracket widths (70, 100, 130, and 160 mil), and 4 bracket slots (18, 20.5, 22, and 24.5 mil). From these plots, we learn that each wire base dimension (eg, an 18-mil base as found in 18 x 18-mil, 18 x 22-mil and 18 x 25-mil archwires) has a common maximum critical contact angle for binding. Moreover, each wire-slot combination has a common maximum torque angle, which is independent of bracket width. Finally, we learn that archwire-bracket combinations that use a metric 0.5-mm slot might have some advantages with regard to torquing--given the current philosophy that light, continuous forces are more favorable.     

慢性肝炎辨治五法

慢性肝炎（简称慢肝）属中医学“胁痛”、“黄疽”、“瘾积”等范畴。其病程长，疗效慢，且易反复发作。目前尚无特殊疗法。笔者通过研习有关文献，回顾长期临床验案，对慢性肝炎之证治略有心得，兹介绍如下。     

铁打的营盘VS流水的人才空军总医院的"激将法"

“铁打的营盘流水的兵”,到哪儿都是这个理。可当“铁打的营盘”遭遇“流水的人才”结果会怎样?曾几何时,一度人才防线牢不可破的公立医院,在面临外资和民营医疗机构强大的“挖角”攻势下,不得不仓促应战。虽然目前公立医院在这场人才拔河较量中仍具优势,只是不知这种优势还能维持多久?     

全民医保:海市蜃楼还是可及目标?

内窥镜下手术在眼科的应用

近年来，内窥镜下手术在眼科的应用有了很大进展，并且逐渐展现出其创伤小、并发症少、直视下操作、安全有效的优点。眼内窥镜联合激光可应用于青光眼前房角手术、青光眼睫状体光凝术、周边部视网膜玻璃体手术等等；另外泪道内窥镜在泪器疾病中的应用、鼻内窥镜在鼻眼相关手术中的应用也有很大的发展。眼内窥镜的应用开创了眼科微创手术时代。本文就眼用内窥镜的基本工作原理、应用现状和发展前景进行综述。
