ABSTRACT
To evaluated the inhibition effect of local injection of odanacatib on orthodontic relapse.Thirty rats were randomly divided into 2 groups(n =15).The maxillary right first molars of all animals were subjected to orthodontic force and moved mesially.Three weeks later,the force was removed,and the teeth relapsed.The rats of experimental group were received local injections of odanacatib.The control group received saline instead.Tooth movement and relapse were measured when appliances removed after 0 day and 2 weeks.The rats were sacrificed after the 2-week relapse.The microcomputed tomography analysis was performed to quantify the alveolar bone,and the values of bone mineral density(BMD) and bone volume fraction(BVF) were measured.The percentage of relapse in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P ＜0.05),and the BMD and BVF of alveolar bone in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P ＜0.05).Local injection of odanacatib effectively inhibit the relapse after orthodontic tooth movement in rats.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Low power microwave irradiation has been shown to promote the healing of fractures with internal fixation;however, its action mechanisms on the skeletal muscle around the fracture site are unclear. OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of low power microwave irradiation (20 W) on the proliferation ability of skeletal muscle satel ite cel s in a rabbit model of femoral fracture with internal fixation. METHODS:Forty male New Zealand rabbits were used to establish femoral fracture fol owed by internal fixation models, and then were equal y randomized into spontaneous recovery and microwave treatment groups. Low power microwave irradiation (20 W) was given for 30 consecutive days in the microwave treatment group on day 4 after modeling, while no microwave irradiation was given in the spontaneous recovery group. Rabbit thigh muscles adjacent to the implant were obtained to isolate skeletal muscle satel ite cel s. Immunohistochemical staining, hematoxylin-eosin staining and quantitative RT-PCR were used to evaluate the ability of the proliferation and differentiation of skeletal muscle satel ite cel s. RESULTS AND CONCLUSON:Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that there was no significant difference in the morphology and histology of skeletal muscle tissues between the spontaneous recovery and microwave treatment groups. However, the relative mRNA expression of MyoG in the cultured skeletal muscle satel ite cel s in vitro and the number ofα-sarcometric actin-postive cel s in the microwave treatment group were significantly increased compared with the spontaneous recovery group (P<0.05). The proliferative ability of skeletal muscle satel ite cel s was inhibited at the early stage, but not at the later stage. Our results suggest that low power microwave irradiation (20 W) can promote the proliferation and differentiation of skeletal muscle satel ite cel s around the implant in a rabbit model of femoral fracture with internal fixation, and thereby confirm the efficacy and safety of low power microwave irradiation for the internal fixation of fractures.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the distribution of pathogens isolated from lower respiratory tract sputum samples of trach‐eotomy patients who suffered from severe craniocerebral injury and nurses′hands surface samples ,and analyze the correlation be‐tween them .Methods Lower respiratory tract sputum samples of 97 tracheotomy patients suffered from severe craniocerebral inju‐ry and hands surface samples from nurses who just washed their hands after the sample collection were collected .Then the samples were sent to the microbiological lab for pathogen isolation and identification ,the results were statistically analyzed by using WHO‐NET5.4software.Results 388sampleswerecollectedaltogether,including194sputumsamplesand194nurses′handssurface samples .633 pathogens were isolated altogether ,including 452 strains of G- bacteria (71 .41% ) ,134 strains of G+ bacteria (21 .17% ) and 47 strains of fungi(7 .42% ) .The top five species of G- bacteria which took the largest proportion and caused the lower respiratory tract infection were Peudomonas aeruginosa(12 .16% ) ,Acinetobacter baumannii(9 .63% ) ,Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria(7 .10% ) ,Stenotrophomonas maltophilia(5 .21% ) ,Escherichia coli(4 .89% );the primary species of G+ bacteria were coag‐ulase negative staphylococcus(6 .79% ) ,Staphylococcus aureus(2 .36% );the primary fungus was Monilia albicans(4 .24% ) .The top five G- bacteria species which took the largest proportion and isolated from hands surface samples were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (6 .79% ) ,Acinetobacter baumannii(5 .84% ) ,Escherichia coli(4 .91% ) ,Klebsiella pneumoniae(3 .94% ) ,Stenotrophomonas malto‐philia(3 .79% );the primary species of G+ bacteria were coagulase negative staphylococcus (9 .63% ) ,Staphylococcus aureus (2 .36% ) .The primary fungus was Monilia albicans(3 .00% ) .Conclusion Tracheotomy patients who suffered from severe cranio‐cerebral injury with lower respiratory infection are very possible to have cross‐infection ,sanitary management of nurses′hands asep‐tic manipulation procedures should be strengthened .
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical value of digital three-dimensional shaping titanium mesh and traditional hand-shaping titanium mesh in the repairing of skull defect surgery.Methods The clinical data of 78 patients with skull defect were retrospectively analyzed,they were divided into digital three-dimensional shaping titanium mesh group (41 cases) and traditional hand-shaping titanium mesh group (37 cases) according to the different titanium net,then the hospital stay,operative time,hospital costs,shaping satisfaction and postoperative complications between two groups were compared.Results The hospital costs and shaping satisfaction in digital three-dimensional shaping titanium mesh group were significantly higher than those in traditional hand-shaping titanium mesh group [(12 978.1 ± 4 765.7) yuan vs.(9 436.6 ±3 798.7) yuan,(9.87 ±0.13) scores vs.(9.41 ±0.09) scores],the complication rate was significantly lower than that in traditional hand-shaping titanium mesh group [4.9％ (2/41) vs.29.7％ (11/37)],there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).The hospital stay and operative time between two groups had no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The digital three-dimensional shaping titanium mesh repair is convenient to operate,it can largely reduce the risks and complications of surgery,and can also achieve a high standard of modeling results,so is worthy of promotion.
