Non odontogenic epithelial cyst, again called fissurary cyst, are dysembryophasic cyst of maxillary, they are born throughout the sutures line of faces. Their diagnosis is raising again association of clinic symptom, especially complementary examination and in particular dental vitality test. Their treatment is surgical. Around 14 cysts fissurary have been recorded in a seven-year period. 相似文献
Background: Anesthetic preconditioning (APC) with sevoflurane reduces myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. The authors tested whether two brief exposures to sevoflurane would lead to a better preconditioning state than would a single longer exposure and whether dual exposure to a lower (L) concentration of sevoflurane would achieve an outcome similar to that associated with a single exposure to a higher (H) concentration.
Methods: Langendorff-prepared guinea pig hearts were exposed to 0.4 mm sevoflurane once for 15 min (H1-15; n = 8) or 0.4 mm (H2-5; n = 8) or 0.2 mm sevoflurane (L2-5; n = 8) twice for 5 min, with a 5-min washout period interspersed. Sevoflurane was then washed out for 20 min before 30 min of global no-flow ischemia and 120 min of reperfusion. Control hearts (n = 8) were not subjected to APC. Left ventricular pressure was measured isovolumetrically. Ventricular infarct size was determined by tetrazolium staining and cumulative planimetry. Values are expressed as mean +/- SD.
Results: The authors found a better functional return and a lesser percentage of infarction on reperfusion in H2-5 (28 +/- 9%) than in H1-15 (36 +/- 8%; P < 0.05), L2-5 (43 +/- 6%; P < 0.05), or control hearts (52 +/- 7%; P < 0.05). 相似文献
PURPOSE: Titanium plates and monocortical screws are commonly used to stabilize the mandible following sagittal split ramus osteotomies. Despite widespread use of this type of fixation, there is a paucity of large studies evaluating the infection rate and need for hardware removal. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study is a retrospective cohort evaluation of 1,066 consecutive mandibular sagittal ramus osteotomies in 533 patients, performed between January 2002 and December 2003. All osteotomies were stabilized with 4-hole miniplates and 2.0 mm x 5.0 mm monocortical screws. Study variables included disturbances of wound healing, age, gender, plate and screw position, direction of mandibular movement, adjunctive procedures performed, and the patient's medical history. Data were collected by chart and radiographic review. The above variables were analyzed using Fisher's exact test, Chi-square, Cochran-Armitage Trend Test, and multiple logistic regression. RESULTS: Of 533 patients 26% (138) demonstrated wound healing problems. This occurred in 15% of all 1,066 osteotomy sites. 6.5% of plates required removal in 10% of patients. In no case did disturbance of wound healing or plate removal result in non-union or relapse of the osteotomy. Wound healing problems were fewer when mandibular osteotomies were done in conjunction with maxillary surgery (18.9% versus 29.1%). Disturbances of wound healing were not related to the direction of movement of the mandible and were lower when hardware was placed closer to the inferior border. CONCLUSION: An overall low incidence (6.5%) of hardware infection requiring plate removal was found in this study. Screw proximity to the osteotomy site did not correlate with higher rates of healing problems, but there was a statistically significant trend of fewer disturbances of healing when the hardware was placed closer to the inferior border of the mandible. 相似文献
The hepatoprotective activity of the rhisome of Cochlospermum tinctorium was investigated using carbon tetrachloride toxicity on mouse and tert-butyl hydroperoxide in vitro induction of lipid peroxidation and hepatocyte lysis. Aqueous, hydro-ethanolic and ethanolic extracts showed significant dose-dependent hepatoprotective actions. The ethanolic extract showed a hepatoprotective activity at lower doses than silymarin. The ethanolic and hydro-ethanolic extracts exhibited remarkable effects against the induction of lipid peroxidation and hepatocyte lysis; the aqueous extract showed comparatively weaker effects. These differences were related to the chemical composition of the extracts. Among the identified constituents of the drug, phenolic and polyphenolic compounds (gallic and ellagic acids, ellagitannins, flavonoids), carotenoids, triterpenes could be related to the biological activity. 相似文献
To evaluate whether insecticide-treated netting (ITN) reduces child mortality in different epidemiological settings, 4 large, randomized, controlled trials were conducted in Africa. Here we report the findings from the trial in Burkina Faso, in an area of hyperendemic and markedly seasonal malaria transmission. The trial involved 158 villages, with a total population of some 90,000, grouped into 16 geographical clusters. Ascertainment of mortality among children aged 6–59 months began in early 1993. In June/July 1994, 8 of the clusters, randomly selected, received permethrin-treated curtains. Follow-up of children and ascertainment of mortality continued until May 1996. A 15% reduction in all-cause mortality among children aged 6–59 months was observed over the 2-year period following the installation of the curtains (95% c.i. – 4% to 30%). In the first year, post-intervention mortality was substantially lower in the clusters receiving curtains compared with the control clusters (rate ratio = 0.74; 95% c.i. 0.57, 0.95) but in the second year, there was no difference between mortality in the two groups (rate ratio = 0.99). The overall two-year impact of the intervention is consistent with the impacts observed in other trials which have demonstrated reductions in child mortality of from 17% to 33%. However, the year-by-year analysis raises some concerns about the long-term effect of ITN. Further follow-up of this population is warranted. 相似文献
Surveillance for mosquito-borne viruses was conducted in Barkedji area from 1990 to 1995, following an outbreak of Rift Valley fever (RVF) virus in southern Mauritania. Mosquitoes, sand flies, and midges were collected from human bait and trapped by solid-state U.S. Army battery-powered CDC miniature light traps baited with dry ice or animals (sheep or chickens) at four ponds. Overall, 237,091 male and female mosquitoes representing 52 species in eight genera, 214,967 Phlebotomine sand flies, and 2,527 Culicoides were collected, identified, and tested for arboviruses in 9,490 pools (7,050 pools of female and 331 of male mosquitoes, 2,059 pools of sand flies and 50 pools of Culicoides). Viruses isolated included one Alphavirus, Babanki (BBK); six Flaviviruses, Bagaza (BAG), Ar D 65239, Wesselsbron (WSL), West Nile (WN), Koutango (KOU), Saboya (SAB); two Bunyavirus, Bunyamwera (BUN) and Ngari (NRI); two Phleboviruses, Rift Valley fever (RVF) and Gabek Forest (GF); one Orbivirus, Ar D 66707 (Sanar); one Rhabdovirus, Chandipura (CHP); and one unclassified virus, Ar D 95537. Based on repeated isolations, high field infection rates and abundance, Culex appeared to be the vectors of BAG, BBK, Ar D 65239 (BAG-like), and WN viruses, Ae. vexans and Ae. ochraceus of RVF virus, Mansonia of WN and BAG viruses, Mimomyia of WN and BAG viruses, and Phlebotomine of SAB, CHP, Ar D 95537, and GF viruses. Our data indicate that RVF virus circulated repeatedly in the Barkedji area. 相似文献
The MOG locus, located on chromosomal bands 6p21.3-p22 and mapped about 100 kb telomeric to HLA-F, was isolated from cosmid ICRFcl09A2434 and shown to contain three microsatellites. These CA-repeat polymorphic markers were characterized in a sample of 173 healthy unrelated individuals and 84 DNAs from the HLA Workshop reference panel, by a method combining fluorescence labeling of PCR products and use of an automated DNA sequencer. For the three markers, frequencies of heterozygotes are well predicted from allele frequencies by the Hardy—Weinberg rule, which suggests that problems of allele nonamplification are unlikely. Typing of cell lines homozygous in the HLA region allowed unambiguous definition of 81 HLA-MOG haplotypes and showed that several HLA ancestral haplotypes extended to the MOG region. The high degree of polymorphism (59%, 51%, and 81% at the three loci, respectively, and 87% at the haplotype level) makes these new markers informative for association or linkage studies with diseases such as hemochromatosis or multiple sclerosis, and for studies aimed at precisely delineating the site of crossover in chromosomes in which recombination occurred in the distal part of the HLA class I region. 相似文献
