混合牙列期提前拔除下颌第一乳磨牙对继承恒牙萌出的影响

目的 探索提前拔除下颌第一乳磨牙对加速继承恒牙萌出的影响，产生有利于序列拔牙的萌出顺序。方法 筛选13例牙列拥挤的患儿，当其下颌第一双尖牙根长超过1／2时，拔除一侧的下颌第一乳磨牙。用患儿的对侧牙做对照组。结果 拔牙侧有9例患儿第一双尖牙先于尖牙萌出，4例患儿尖牙先于第一双尖牙萌出；对照侧尖牙均先于第一双尖牙萌出。结论 提前拔除下颌第一乳磨牙，可使第一双尖牙先于尖牙萌出。但在第一双尖牙被阻碍或尖牙无阻碍的情况下．难以达到促萌目的。     

健身宝对衰老模型小鼠血清SOD和MDA的影响

目的　研究健身宝补脾益肾、延缓衰老的作用机制。方法　将 60只小鼠随机分为 6组 ,除正常对照组外均每日注射对D -半乳糖造成衰老模型 ,同时给予不同剂量的健身宝和金匮肾气丸。 6周后检测小鼠血清中SOD活性、MDA含量。结果　衰老模型组与正常对照组比较 ,小鼠血清中SOD活性显著降低 ,MDA含量显著升高 (P <0 .0 1 ) ;而健身宝大、中剂量组与正常对照组相比较 ,小鼠血清中SOD活性显著升高 ,MDA含量显著降低 ,与衰老模型组相比较有显著性差异 (P <0 .0 5 )。结论　健身宝明显提升D -半乳糖拟衰小鼠血清中SOD活性 ,降低MDA含量 ,可从调节自由基代谢和提高抗氧化能力方面发挥延缓衰老的作用。     

Prospective Open-Label Study of Botulinum Toxin Type A in Patients with Axillary Hyperhidrosis: Effects on Functional Impairment and Quality of Life

BACKGROUND: Patients with primary axillary hyperhidrosis experience substantial functional impairment and reduced health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Few studies have comprehensively evaluated the effects of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) on these symptoms. OBJECTIVE: To prospectively assess the effects of BoNT-A on functional impairment associated with primary axillary hyperhidrosis. METHODS: Patients treated with BoNT-A 50 U per axilla at baseline were assessed 4 and 12 weeks later. Outcome measures included functional impairment as assessed by the Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale and the Hyperhidrosis Impact Questionnaire and dermatology-specific HRQOL as assessed by the Dermatology Life Quality Index. RESULTS: At weeks 4 and 12 after BoNT-A treatment, 85% and 90% of patients achieved the a priori definition of treatment responder. Patients reported less occupational and emotional impairment, spent less time managing their hyperhidrosis, and had fewer difficulties in social situations. Adverse events were uncommon (5.5%), were mild, and did not require treatment. At study end, 53% of patients reported no dermatology-specific HRQOL impairment and 90% were satisfied with treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Significant, meaningful, rapid, and durable reductions in disease severity and functional impairment, as well as improvements in HRQOL, were seen following BoNT-A treatment. BoNT-A was safe and well tolerated, producing high levels of patient satisfaction.     

Comment on the 'pilot' GRACIA-2 randomized trial: reply

We thank Dr Villata et al. for their thought-provoking comments.Their concern about the suitableness to choose combined endpointsin clinical trials deserves some comment.
