ABSTRACT
Digital technology is a new trend in implant dentistry and oral medical technology. Stereolithographic surgical guides, which are computer-guided implant placement, have been introduced gradually to the market. Surgeons are attracted to this approach because of it features visualized preoperative planning, simple surgical procedure, flapless implant, and immediate restoration. However, surgeons are concerned about the accuracy and complications of this approach. This review aims to introduce the classification of computer-guided implant placement. The advantages, disadvantages, and accuracy of this approach are also analyzed. Moreover, factors that may affect the outcomes of computer-guided implant placement are determined. Results will provide a reference to surgeons regarding the clinical application of this approach.

Objective To understand the situation of undergraduates' quality of life and analyze the influence factors in order to offer basis for improving personnel training mode of public health department in Wuhan University. Methods Questionnaire survey has been conducted among all undergraduates of public health department in Wuhan University. The questionnaire includes the level of internationalization, compound and practice innovation activities. At the same time, students' quality of life has been investigated using the WHOQOL-BREF. SPSS13.0 has been used to make statistical analysis. Scores between groups has been compared utilizing t test, analysis of variance has been made and influence factors has been ana-lyzed utilizing multiple linear regression. Results The average of the undergraduate graduates' quality of life total score is(3.54±0.77),with a scoring rate of 70.9%. The dimension with the highest scoring rate is social relations, and its scoring rate is 75.1%. The dimension with the lowest scoring rate is environment, with scoring rate 65.9%. Compared with the norm, the scores of the overall quality of life, physical health, social relations and environment are all above the norm(P<0.05). The result of multiple linear regression indicates that female(t=-2.338, P=0.020), students from high income family(t=3.512, P=0.001) and students with a high degree of practice innovation activity participation(t=3.515, P=0.001) have a high quality of life. Conclusion The students' quality of life from school of public health, Wuhan University is slightly higher than the general population. The quality of life is influenced significantly by part of cultivating ways. There is a need which personnel training mode is innovated in order to improve the quality of cultivation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To find the factors lowering the rate of effective thrombus aspiration in patients with STsegment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). Method From January to December 2008 , a total of 226 AMI patients from Beijing Anzhen Hospital,treated with primary PCI to aspirate the thrombus from the infracted coronary artery via a cannula, were enrolled in a single center retrospective study. The criterion of successful thrombectomy (device success) was defined as the coronary blood flow of involved vessel after PCI resumed to greater than TIMI grade 1. One hundred seventy-eight patients were assigned to effective thrombus aspiration group, and 48 patients without improvement in coronary blood flow of involved vessel after PCI to control group. Data collected after PCI including the normalization of the elevated ST segment,the use of direct stent, ratio of no-flow/slow flow, intra-coronary administration of Tirofiban and the rate of thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade 3 were analyzed with logistic analysis soas to find out the factors affecting the efficacy of thrombus aspiration. Results There were no significant differences in data before PCI between two groups ( P ＞0.05). Compared with the control group, the factors studied such as smoke, diabetes, the rate of pre-PCI TIMI flow grade 0,the post-PCI ratio of no-reflow/slow flow,and the intra-coronary administration of Tirofiban were fewer significantly in the effective thrombus aspiration group. And the rate of post-PCI TIMI flow grade 3, and the rate of direct stent were higher in the effective thrombus aspiration group. Logistic analysis showed that smoke ( OR = 1.551,95%CI: 1.018 ～ 2. 154, P = 0.012), diabetes ( OR = 1. 132,95%CI:0.276 ～ 3.562, P =0.044), and pre-PCI TIMI flow grade 0 OR = 0.544,95%CI:0.368 ～ 1.911,P = 0.035) were independent factors of effective thrombus aspiration. Conclusions Effective thrombus aspiration may improved the coronary blood flow to TIMI flow grade 3 after PCI and reduce the impaiment of myocardial perfusion, and the factors affecting the efficacy of thrombus aspiration should be paid more attention to and should be minimized to achieve the better clinical outcomes.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the factors affecting quality of life (QOL) in patients with stroke. Methods Eight hundred and six stroke patients were recruited by using the stratification and random sampling method, and QOL questionnaire was applied. Results It was shown that QOL was worse comparatively in stroke patients with poorer education, divorce or lose of spouse, non-free medical service, unemployment, serious deficit of nervous function, while it was indicated by the results of multiple factor analysis that QOL was influenced mainly by such factors as education background, marriage and neurological function. Conclusion In order to improve QOL of patients, we should pay more attention to the health of elders, social security system, education and medical technology.
