ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the application of fiberoscope on upper airway compliance in OSAHS patients with MSMSMS. Methods From May 2014 to December 2015,93 patients with OSAHS in Jinhua Central Hospital were detected by MSMSMS[including 32 mild cases (MI),31 moderate cases (MO),and 30 severe cases (SE)] underwent electronic nasopharyngeal examination combined with the Muller test. The course of 93 OSAHS patients were recorded,including body mass index (BMI),sleep apnea index (AHI),mean oxygen saturation. The degree of collapse in the patients' soft palate area,tongue,epiglottis after area were calculated by the software. The results were analyzed by SPSS15. 0 statistical software. Results The disease courses between the mild group and moderate group [(4. 93 ± 2. 91)years,(8. 91 ± 4. 87)years],as well as between the moderate group and severe group [(4. 93 ± 2. 91)years,(9. 27 ± 4. 75) years],had statistically significant differences (t = - 3. 97,P = 0. 001;t =- 4. 33,P < 0. 001). The pairwise intergroup comparison of AHI among the three groups[(7. 75 ± 2. 49) times, (23. 24 ± 3. 74)times,(53. 27 ± 13. 59)times] showed statistically significant differences(t = 15. 49,P = 0. 000;t =- 45. 52,P = 0. 000;t = - 30. 02,P = 0. 000). The differences of MSaO2 between the mild group and severe group [(94. 25 ± 1. 11)％ vs. (94. 45 ± 0. 72)％ ],as well as between the moderate group and severe group[(94. 45 ± 0. 721)％ vs. (91. 40 ± 3. 17)％ ] had statistically significant differences ( t = 2. 85,P = 0. 000;t = 3. 05,P =0. 000). In the SE,there was a positive correlation with mean oxygen saturation (r = 0. 45,P = 0. 007). The collapse of soft palate area among the three groups had statistically significant differences (t = 3. 74,P = 0. 005;t = - 8. 39, P = 0. 000;t = - 4. 65,P = 0. 001). The collapse of posterior tongue area between the moderate group and mild group [(72. 65 ± 1. 56)％ vs. (66. 69 ± 8. 64)％ ],the mild group and severe group[(66. 69 ± 8. 64)％ vs. (74. 33 ± 10. 96)％ ] had statistically significant differences (t = 5. 96,P = 0. 008;t = - 7. 65,P = 0. 001). There was no statistically significant difference between the moderate group and severe group in the collapse of posterior tongue area (P > 0. 05). There were statistically significant differences between the mild group and moderate group[(63. 84 ± 8. 81)％ vs. (75. 06 ± 5. 07)％ ],the mild group and severe group[(63. 84 ± 8. 81)％ vs. (76. 40 ± 7. 94)]in the collapse of epiglottic area (t = 11. 22,P = 0. 000;t = - 12. 56,P = 0. 000). There was no statistically significant difference between the moderate group and severe group in the collapse of epiglottic area(P > 0. 05). Conclusion Fiberoscope combined with Müller test can respond better upper airway compliance in OSAHS patients with MSMSMS. It is worth to promote in clinic.
ABSTRACT
Se busca entender cuáles son las respuestas biológicas que se dan en diferentes etapas de la implantología, centrando la atención en la influencia de la tecnología en la formación del ancho biológico. Se analiza cómo fue evolucionando la ciencia en la búsqueda de mejores respuestas y cuáles serán los factores decisivos para que la tecnología influencie a la biología y poder aproximarse cada vez más a lo natural.
The aim of this paper is to understand the biological responses at the different stages of implantology, with a focus on the influence of technology in the formation of the biological width. It presents a study of the evolution of science towards better responses and the determining factors for technology to influence biology, which allow us to get closer to what is natural.

Objective To investigate the effects of external fixator with dynamic device under low frequency and controlled micromovement on the callus calcification and mechanical property of healing bone.MethodsForty-five sheep were performed transverse osteotomy with a gap of 2 mm on the mid-shafts of both tibias,and the hind limbs were fixed with unilateral external fixators connected to a controlled micromovement device.Ten days after osteotomy,one hind limb of each sheep was randomly selected for micromovement(30 min/d).According to different micromovement frequencies,the sheep were randomly divided into 3 groups: 0.5 Hz group,1 Hz group and 5 Hz group(n=15).The amplitude of micromovement was 0.25 mm and the micromovement stopped by the end of the fourth week postoperation.The other hind limb of each sheep was served as control group without micromovement.Morphometry of callus was done at the end of 4,6 and 9 weeks after osteotomy.Bone formation velocity,bone mineral density and biomechanical properties were compared at the end of 9 weeks.Results The areas of mineralized bone and osteoid in different miromovement groups were larger than that of control group at the end of 4,6 weeks postoperation(P
ABSTRACT
[Objective]To explore the effects of axial stress regulation on healing of lengthened callus.[Method]Tibiaes of 40 rabbits divided into 2 groups were lengthened with circular external fixator.X-ray bone density and histology tests were performed.[Result]The X-ray showed lengthened callus was different after operation.In the control group,lengthened center had a serial callus and cortex had not formed,in the experimental group lengthened center had serial cortex and ttransfixial medullary cavity expects serial callus.[Conclusion]Axial stress regulation and periodicity continue to shortened micromovement stress may promote healing after bone lengthening.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the influence of low frequency micromovement induced by an external fixator with controlled micromovement device on callus formation and fracture healing. Methods 39 sheep were involved in the study. After transverse osteotomy with a gap of 2 mm was done at the mid-shaft of both tibias, the hind limbs were fixed with unilateral external fixators with controlled micromovement device. 10 days after osteotomy, one hind limb of the sheep was randomly selected to have micromovement. According to different micromovement frequencies, the sheep were randomly divided into 3 groups: Group A, 0.5 Hertz; Group B, 1 Hertz; Group C, 5 Hertz. The micromovement had an amplitude of 0.25mm and stopped by the end of the fourth postoperative week (30 min/d). The other hind limb of each sheep did not have micromovement and served as the control. Macrostructural and histological observations, radiographic examinations, and biomechanical tests were done respectively at 4, 6, 9 weeks after osteotomy. Results Macrostructural observations and X-ray examinations revealed a large amount of callus formation with a peak at the end of the fourth postoperative week in the 3 experimental groups. Histological analysis showed faster endochondral ossification and osteoid formation in the experimental groups than in the control by the sixth postoperative week, with the highest rate in Group B (1Hz). Biomechanical tests proved that the bending stiffness in the experimental groups was superior to that in the control, with the strongest in Group B (1 Hz). Conclusions Low frequency-micromovement at the fracture sites can promote callus formation and accelerate mineralization at the early stage of fracture healing. A frequency of 1 Hz can produce the best results.
