ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the changes of BNP and IL-1βin patients with chronic heart failure combined with chro-nic periodontitis before and after periodontal intervention treatment and investigate the improve effect of periodontal intervention treat-ment on the prognosis of chronic heart failure.Methods 38 patients with chronic heart failure combined with chronic periodontitis were divided into the intervention group (n=20) and the control group (n=18).The intervention group was given periodontal inter-vention and the control group was only given oral hygiene education .The baseline and changes of bleeding index , periodontal attach-ment loss and BNP, IL-1βof the two groups were recorded respectively.Results After periodontal treatment, the bleeding index, periodontal attachment loss and the baseline in the intervention group were significantly differenct compared with the control group (p<0.05).The changes of BNP and IL-1βindex in the intervention group were also significantly different from those of the control group (p<0.05).Conclusion The oral hygiene and periodontal health status of the patients could be improved by periodontal inter-vention.It can also improve the prognosis of patients with periodontitis combined with chronic heart failure .In conclusion, the perio-dontal intervention treatment plays a positive role in the treatment of chronic heart failure disease .
ABSTRACT
The aim of this paper is to study the methods of 3D visualization and the 3D interactive clipping of CT/MRI image sequence in arbitrary orientation based on the Visualization Toolkit (VTK). A new method for 3D CT/MRI reconstructed image clipping is presented, which can clip 3D object and 3D space of medical image sequence to observe the inner structure using 3D widget for manipulating an infinite plane. Experiment results show that the proposed method can implement 3D interactive clipping of medical image effectively and get satisfied results with good quality in short time.

@#ObjectiveTo observe the effect of comprehensive recuperatation on hypertension in the senility.Methods92 old hypertension patient who accepted comprehensive recuperatation were analyzed retrospectively. The blood pressure, glucose and lipid in serum, and renal function were measured before and 2 months after recuperatation.ResultsTheir blood pressure, urea nitrogen, creatine and uric acid decreased (P<0.01 ), but the glucose, triglyceride and cholesterol remained no-change (P>0.05). ConclusionThe comprehensive recuperatation maybe effective on decrease of blood pressure, as well as protection of renal function in the senility.
