颌间Ⅲ类矫形力对青春期恒河猴上颌骨作用的头影测量研究

目的：通过建立颌间Ⅲ类矫形动物实验模型,评价持续的颌间Ⅲ类矫形力对上颌骨的作用及动态变化规律。方法：选用青春生长发育期雌性恒河猴6只,分为实验组（3月、6月各2只）和对照组（3月、6月各1只）,实验组戴用Ⅲ类双阻板磁力矫治器,对照组不戴。实验过程中,定期拍摄X线头颅侧位片,图像输入计算机头影测量系统进行测量分析。结果：（1）与对照组相比,实验组位发生明显改变;（2）头影测量表明,对照组表现为向下向前发育,实验组矫形治疗后上颌骨相对于颅骨发生了向前的移位和少量旋转,同时其长度出现增加;（3）发现上颌骨的空间位置变化主要发生在开始矫治的两个月内,长度增加的最大值出现在第三个月左右;（4）上颌骨对矫形力作用的反应有一定的限度,增加矫形力作用时间并不能进一步促进上颌骨的更多空间变化和长度的增加。结论：Ⅲ类矫形力可以显著改变上颌骨的空间位置和固有长度,空间的位移比长度的改变出现得早。

Nausea Control by Needling at Acupuncture Point Neiguan (PC6) During an Intraoral Impression-Taking Procedure

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture point PC6 (Neiguan) in controlling nausea during intraoral impression taking. This study was conducted in Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil. The sample consisted of 33 adult volunteers with nausea, who were randomly divided into control and study groups, and treated with nonpenetrating sham acupuncture and real acupuncture, respectively, at acupoint PC6. The two groups had two maxillary impressions taken, one prior to acupuncture and the other after acupuncture. The nausea assessment was made using the visual analog scale, Gagging Severity Index (GSI), and Gagging Prevention Index. Volunteers' expectation that nausea would be reduced through acupuncture was also assessed. For statistical analysis, we used the t test and the Spearman correlation (p < 0.05). When assessed by Gagging Severity Index/Gagging Prevention Index, nausea was reduced in the real acupuncture group (p < 0.01). In the visual analog scale assessment, similar reductions of nausea were noted in both groups (p > 0.05). No correlation existed between the expected and the actual reductions in nausea. Our results indicate that acupoint PC6 was effective for controlling nausea during the maxillary impression-taking procedure. Patients' expectation did not influence the results.     

Acute Hypoxia Activates an ENaC-like Channel in Rat Pheochromocytoma (PC12) Cells

Cells can resist and even recover from stress induced by acute hypoxia, whereas chronic hypoxia often leads to irreversible damage and eventually death. Although little is known about the response(s) to acute hypoxia in neuronal cells, alterations in ion channel activity could be preferential. This study aimed to elucidate which channel type is involved in the response to acute hypoxia in rat pheochromocytomal (PC12) cells as a neuronal cell model. Using perfusing solution saturated with 95% N₂ and 5% CO₂, induction of cell hypoxia was confirmed based on increased intracellular Ca²⁺ with diminished oxygen content in the perfusate. During acute hypoxia, one channel type with a conductance of about 30 pS (2.5 pA at -80 mV) was activated within the first 2~3 min following onset of hypoxia and was long-lived for more than 300 ms with high open probability (P_o, up to 0.8). This channel was permeable to Na⁺ ions, but not to K⁺, Ca⁺, and Cl^- ions, and was sensitively blocked by amiloride (200 nM). These characteristics and behaviors were quite similar to those of epithelial sodium channel (ENaC). RT-PCR and Western blot analyses confirmed that ENaC channel was endogenously expressed in PC12 cells. Taken together, a 30-pS ENaC-like channel was activated in response to acute hypoxia in PC12 cells. This is the first evidence of an acute hypoxia-activated Na⁺ channel that can contribute to depolarization of the cell.

冠心病介入治疗后血浆中新型气体信号分子硫化氢水平的变化及机制研究

目的观察冠心病行经皮冠状动脉介入(PCI)治疗后患者血浆中新型气体硫化氢的浓度变化,探讨其变化机制,从而揭示硫化氢(H2S)水平在冠心病发病及病程进展中的意义。方法随机选取2011年1月至2013年1月间心血管内科临床经冠脉造影确诊为冠心病的患者115例作为研究对象,同时选取48例冠脉造影正常者作为对照组。本研究中所有确诊为冠心病的患者均采取PCI治疗。所有研究对象于术前取股动脉血4 ml,冠心病患者行PCI治疗后即刻再取股动脉血4 ml,离心取血浆备用。分别采用敏感硫电极法和Griess法测定血浆中H2S和NO的含量。结果 1冠心病患者血浆H2S和NO的含量远远低于冠脉造影正常的对照组,差异有统计学意义(P0.01),行PCI治疗后与术前比较,血浆H2S和NO的含量明显升高,差异有统计学意义(P0.01),且与正常人相比差异无统计学意义(P0.05);2冠状动脉双支和多支病变的患者其血浆H2S和NO含量低于单支病变患者,差异有统计学意义(P0.05),经过PCI治疗后,各组血浆H2S和NO的含量明显升高,差异有统计学意义(P0.01)。结论血浆中H2S的含量与冠状动脉病变程度密切相关。行PCI治疗后,冠状动脉血液循环得以重建,血管内皮细胞功能得到恢复,随之NO水平得到恢复,从而提高血浆中H2S的水平。
