ABSTRACT
Objective@#To compare the efficacy of different methods in the removal of calcium hydroxide from root canals and to provide a reference for clinical treatment. @*Methods@# A total of 160 extracted single-rooted mandibular premolars were instrumented up to ProTaper Universal F4. The roots were split longitudinally, and standardized groove and depression models were prepared and filled with calcium hydroxide. The samples were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=40) according to different irrigation methods: syringe needle irrigation, passive ultrasonic irrigation, XP-endo finisher (XPF) irrigation, and M3-Max irrigation. Each group was then divided into 2 subgroups (n=20) according to the irrigation protocol: NaOCl and NaOCl+EDTA. Photos of grooves and depressions were taken under a microscope after irrigation, and the residual calcium hydroxide was scored to compare the removal effects of different irritation methods and solutions.@*Results@#In the groove and depression model, when sodium hypochlorite is used as the irrigation fluid, ultrasound irrigation, XPF and M3-Max are better than syringe needle irrigation in removing calcium hydroxide (P < 0.05); when sodium hypochlorite combined with EDTA flushing, the effect of removing calcium hydroxide with ultrasound irrigation, XPF and M3-Max is better than that of syringe needle irrigation (P < 0.05); but there is no statistically significant difference between ultrasound, XPF and M3-Max (P > 0.05); when compared with the use of sodium hypochlorite, the combined use of EDTA irrigation could enhance the effect of ultrasonic irrigation, XPF and M3 Max on the removal of calcium hydroxide (P < 0.05), but there was no significant improvement in the syringe needle irrigation group (P > 0.05). @*Conclusion @#Sodium hypochlorite combined with EDTA can enhance the effect of ultrasonic irrigation, XPF and M3 Max on the removal of calcium hydroxide, and there is no significant difference among these approaches, which are more effective than syringe needle irrigation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the characters about anticoagulation EDTA on the platelet aggregation ,and discuss the risk factors about EDTA‐PTCP by analyzing the biochemical parameters .Methods 30 700 EDTA‐K3 blood samples were collected from January 2014 to August 2015 .WBC was performed using Sysmex XN‐3000 and 27cases were identified of EDTA‐PTCP .The blood samples of 27 subjects were recollected and WBC was repeated using EDTA‐K3 and sodium citrate blood ,respectively .Manual platelet counting and smear microscope examination on periphery blood were also performed .Biochemical parameters of 27 subjects with EDTA‐PTCP were compared with 50 randomly selected non EDTA‐PTCP controls .Results Platelet counts in citrated blood were significantly higher than EDTA blood ,the difference was statistically significant(P0 .05) .ALT ,Glu and TG in patients with EDTA‐PTCP were significantly higher than normal people ,but HDL was significantly lower than control group ,the difference was statistically significant(P<0 .05) .Conclusion EDTA‐dependent pseudo‐thrombocytopenia varies from people with different disease or using different medicine .It may be relative to hyperglycemia and hy‐perlipidemia .Another approach for rectifying ,changing anticoagulant or manual platelet counting is a better way lead to correctly di‐agnose when EDTA‐PTCP occurred .
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the influence of anticoagulants on platelet count .Methods A total of 5 patients with decreased platelet level ,detected by using haemocyte analyzer and samples anticoagulated by ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid dipotassium (EDTA‐K2 ) ,were enrolled ,and EDTA‐K2 ,sodium citrate ,heparin lithium ,sodium fluoride anticoagulated venous blood samples and fingers peripheral blood samples were collected and detected for platelet by using haemocyte analyzer and microscopic detection . Wright‐Giemsa′s stained cell smears were prepared and observed by using microscope .Results Platelet levels of anticoagulated samples ,detected by haemocyte analyzer and microscopic detection were obviously decreased ,and with large platelet aggregation ob‐served under microscope .Platelet levels of finger peripheral blood samples detected by haemocyte analyzer and microscopic detection were normal ,and without platelet aggregation observed under microscope .Conclusion Various anticoagulants could cause pseudo‐thrombocytopenia ,and fingers peripheral blood samples ,without anticoagulants ,should be used for platelet count to obtain accurate results .
ABSTRACT
BackgroundPosterior capsule opacification(PCO) is the main cause inducing low vision after extacapsular cataract extraction. Our previous study determined that polylysine-ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) (PLE) can suppress the incidence of PCO. ObjectiveThe goal of this experiment was to investigate the inhibition of polylysine-EDTA on rabbit lens epithelial cells (LECs)proliferation in vitro and the effective concentrations of polylysine-EDTA. MethodsThe anterior capsular membranes from 10 3-month-old clean New Zealand white rabbits were digested and then cultured to obtain the LECs. The second and third generation of LECs were inoculated on the 96-hole culture plate with the cell density of the 1 × 105/ml. 12.5,25.0,50. 0,100. 0 μmol/Lof PLE were added into the culture medium for 48 hours respectively,and the DMSO medium was used at the same way as the control group. The proliferation of the LECs was then detected by MTT method and the inhibitory rate of PLE on LECs growth was calculated. ResultsLECs grew at a near normal state in ≤25.0 μmol/L PLE groups,however,cultured LECs were out of shape and the numbers decreased with the weakened adhesion ability in ≥50.0 μ mol/L PLE groups. The A490 values of LECs were 0. 278±0. 013,0. 266±0. 028,0. 260±0. 022 and 0. 247±0. 012 in 12. 5,25.0,50. 0, 100. 0 μmol/L polylysine-EDTA groups respectively and were lower than 0. 311 ±0. 038 of DMSO control group( P=0. 035,0. 011,0. 009,0.013 ). The inhibitory rates of 12. 5,25.0,50. 0, 100.0 μmoL/L PLE on LECs proliferation were 10.61％ , 14.47％ , 16.40％ and 20. 58％ respectively. ConclusionsPolylysine-EDTA can inhibit the growth and proliferation of LECs in vitro at a dose-dependent manner.
