Abstract
Objective: A method to determine chlorobenzene metabolite-p-chlorophenol in urine by solid phase extraction-gas chromatography was established. Methods: In May 2021, the urine sample was hydrolyzed at 100 ℃ for 1.5 h with 2 ml concentrated hydrochloric acid. After cooling and filtering, the sample was enriched and purified by Oasis(®)MAX 6cc SPE column. Drip washing with 0.01 mol/L hydrochloric acid solution and elution with acetonitrile, the eluent was volumized to 5 ml with acetonitrile and determined by gas chromatography, and quantify by standard curve method. Results: Calibration curve of the method was linear within the range of 1.61-80.30 μg/ml and showed good linearity with r=0.9997, the regression equation was y=1.51602x-0.10234. The determination limit was 0.17 μg/ml, and the limit of quantitation was 0.55 μg/ml. Recovery rates were between 89.3%-104.4%, the relative standard deviation (RSD) of intra-day measurements ranged from 4.3% to 6.7%, and the RSD of inter-day measurements ranged from 4.5% to 6.7%. Conclusion: This method could optimize sample pretreatment, and eliminate the interference of impurities, which is sensitive, efficient and accurate for the determination of chlorobenzene metabolite-p-chlorophenol in urine.

Abstract
Objective: To analyse the dose-response relationships between the kurtosis metric of noise and noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) and study the role of kurtosis in the evaluation of NIHL associated with non-Gaussian noise. Methods: From January 2012 to December 2017, a total of 1869 workers in seven manufacturing industries were selected as the study subjects. The basic data of the workers were investigated by questionnaire, personal noise waveform was collected for a long time, and pure tone hearing threshold was tested. The 8-hour continuous equivalent A sound level (L(Aeq, 8 h)) , cumulative noise exposure (CNE) and kurtosis structure indexes were calculated. The dose-response relationships between kurtosis and NIHL were analyzed by stratification analysis method, which controlled the influence of CNE, L(Aeq, 8 h), exposure duration, age and sex on hearing loss using high-frequency noise-induced permanent threshold shift (NIPTS(346)) and high-frequency noise-induced hearing loss (HFNIHL) as outcome indicators. Results: When CNE was <90 dB (A) ·year and ≥100 dB (A) ·year, NIPTS(346) in the extremely high kurtosis group was significantly greater than that in the Gaussian kurtosis, low kurtosis and medium kurtosis group (P<0.05) . In the workers exposed to L(Aeq, 8 h)<85 dB (A) and ≥94 dB (A) , NIPTS(346) in the extremely high kurtosis group was significantly greater than that in the Gaussian kurtosis group (P<0.05) . Among workers under the age of 50 or male workers, NIPTS(346) in the extremely high kurtosis group was significantly greater than that in the Gaussian kurtosis, low kurtosis and medium kurtosis group (P<0.05) . Kurtosis was positively correlated with NIPTS(346) (r=0.121, P<0.05) . When CNE was <100 dB (A) ·year, the detection rate of HFNIHL increased with the increase of kurtosis level (P<0.01) . Logistic regression analysis showed that kurtosis was an important influencing factor for HFNIHL (OR=1.321) . Conclusion: Kurtosis has a dose-response relationship with the detection rate of HFNIHL in noise exposed workers, and noise kurtosis is an influencing factor of NIHL.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of a digital virtual simulation training system applied in the preclinical teaching of access and coronal cavity preparation. Methods: Twenty dental undergraduate students from Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology were recruited and divided randomly and equally into two groups according to the random number method after being unified with theory training, including access and coronal cavity preparation skills assessment form and Simodont system operation manual. Tests for access and coronal cavity preparation skills by using standard simulation plastic teeth were performed and the scores were recorded as baseline for each student. Students in group of virtual simulation priority were trained using Simodont virtual simulation system, while those in group of phantom-simulator priority were trained using conventional phantom-simulator system. Access and coronal cavity preparation skills of standard simulation plastic teeth were assessed once again and recorded as the second scores for the two groups. Furthermore, the two groups of students exchanged training systems and were assessed and graded once more as the third scores. Finally, all students were asked to fill up a Teaching Questionnaire after the training. The data were then collected and analyzed. Results: For the group of virtual simulation priority, after the training by using Simodont virtual simulation system and conventional phantom-simulator system, the mean score of access and coronal cavity preparation (16.00±1.49) was significantly higher than the baseline score (13.30±1.41) (P<0.05). For the group of phantom-simulator priority, after the training by using conventional phantom-simulator system and Simodont virtual simulation system, the mean score of access and coronal cavity preparation (15.60±1.26) was also significantly higher than the baseline score (13.00±1.89) (P<0.05). Furthermore, in the group of virtual simulation priority, of which the students were trained by using Simodont virtual simulation system first and then conventional phantom-simulator system, the score of access and coronal cavity preparation was significantly higher than the score of training by using conventional phantom-simulator system only (14.30±1.77) (P<0.05). In the group of phantom-simulator priority, of which the students were trained by using conventional phantom-simulator system first and then Simodont virtual simulation system, the score of access and coronal cavity preparation was significantly higher than the score of training by using Simodont virtual simulation system only (14.10±1.45) (P<0.05). Moreover, in the group of virtual simulation priority, the score of training by using conventional phantom-simulator system after using Simodont virtual simulation system was significantly higher than that of training by using Simodont virtual simulation system only (P<0.05). The results of the questionnaire showed that the students fully agreed that "the Simodont virtual simulation system has the characteristics of repeatability, multi-dimension and multiple practice, and provides me with more attention to details" [80% (16/20)], however "it needs to be improved and upgraded to be close to the conventiaonl phantom-simulator system" [90% (18/20)]. Conclusions: Compared with using the conventional phantom-simulator system only, the preclinical teaching effectiveness of access and coronal cavity preparation could be effectively improved by using Simodont virtual simulation system combined with the phantom-simulator training system and might influenced by the training sequence.

Abstract
Objective: This observational study was aimed to analyze the clinical characteristics of infective endocarditis (IE) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Methods: A total of 668 patients with IE, and 7 427 patients with HCM were treated in Fuwai Hospital from August 2006 to December 2018. Among them, 14 patients were diagnosed with HCM and IE. The clinical characteristics of these patients including clinical manifestations, pathogen distribution, echocardiography features, in-hospital treatment and outcomes were analyzed retrospectively. Results: The proportion of HCM patients with IE was 0.19%,with the estimated incidence of 0.15/1 000 person-years in HCM patients. Of the 14 patients, 11 patients were male. The most common clinical manifestations were fever and heart murmur, and the main complications were heart failure (12/14) and bacterial embolism (8/14). There were 8 cases (8/14) with positive blood culture, and all causative bacteria were gram positive coccus, in which 5/8 were Streptococcus. The median interventricular septum thickness was (21.2±2.7) mm, and left ventricular outflow obstruction was severe based on echocardiography (Echo) examination. The Echo showed that vegetation was found in all 14 patients and most of the vegetation attached at the anterior leaflet of mitral valve (12/14). The proportions of patients with circulatory embolism (8/14) and valve lesions (12/14) were relatively high. Most cases (10/14) were cured, especially those underwent cardiac surgery (8 cases). The rest 4 cases died with 2 in hospital and 2 after auto-discharge. Conclusions: HCM patients complicated with IE are rare. Septic embolization and valve lesions are common in these patients. IE patients with HCM might have a poor prognosis compared to those without HCM and should receive cardiac surgery as early as possible.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of present study is to analyze clinical and laboratory features of mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD)-associated trigeminal neuropathy (TN). Methods: Clinical records of 12 cases of MCTD complicated with TN diagnosed in Peking University People's Hospital from January 2008 to October 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. Results: The present study included 12 cases, 1 males and 11 females, average age was(40±13)years. TN was developed before the diagosis of MCTD in 1 case. TN and MCTD were occurred simutaneously in 1 case. Raynaud phenomenon (12 cases), arthritis (10cases), edema of fingers (9cases), myositis (6 cases), and pulmonary involvement (11cases) were main cinical feature of MCTD-associate TN. Antinuclear antibody (ANA) and high titer anti-U1-RNP antibody could be detected in serum of all patients. Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and creatine kinase were found in serum of 7cases and 5cases, respectively. Blink reflex tests were positive in 6 cases. Neurological symptoms improve slowly without any progress by using glucocorticoid combined immunosuppressants or intravenous gamma globulin. Conclusions: TN is often associted with actived MCTD. Positive ANA and anti-U1-RNP antibody were common in MCTD-associated TN. Blink reflex test is essential to diagnose MCTD-associated TN. Intensive treatment of MCTD contributes to control the progress of TN.

Abstract
Glycogen synthase kinase beta (GSK3β) is considered as a promising target for lung cancer treatment and its inhibitor lithium chloride (LiCl) is widely regarded as having potent anti-proliferative and apoptosis-modulating activities. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), as an auxiliary protein for DNA polymerase delta, which regulates DNA replication and repair, has been reported to play an important role in regulating apoptosis. Here, we showed that GSK3β interacted with PCNA in H1299 lung adenocarcinoma cells using GST pull-down and co-immunoprecipitation experiments. We discovered that their interaction can be enhanced within the first 3 h after UVC irradiation and decreased gradually with time. Overexpression of PCNA protein decreased GSK3β Ser9 phosphorylation, whereas knockdown of PCNA using small interfering RNA (siRNA) increased Ser9 phosphorylated GSK3β, which was attenuated by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor LY294002 after UVC irradiation, indicating the involvement of the PI3K-AKT pathway. Functional analyses suggested that downregulation of PCNA sensitized H1299 cells to LiCl-induced apoptosis. Thus, our results unraveled a novel regulatory of GSK3β by PCNA and provided a promising direction for treatment of lung cancer.

Abstract
Abstract
Aims
We aim to investigate the effect of single dose of statin pretreatment prior to primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) on long-term clinical outcomes in patients with ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI).
Methods
Using data from China Acute myocardial Infarction (CAMI) registry, we compared the outcome in STEMI patients with vs without atorvastation pretreatment prior to primary PCI. The primary endpoint was the composite outcome of all-cause mortality, non-fatal MI or stroke events during follow-up. Propensity-score (PS) matching was used to assemble a cohort of patients with similar baseline characteristics. All patients were followed till 24 months since baseline.
Results
Of all 3772 patients who met our inclusion criteria at 108 hospitals in China, 3288 patients (1644 patients in each arm) were included in our PS-matched cohort. In the PS-match cohort, overall 144 (8.65%) and 113 (6.79%) patients in the control group and pretreatment group had the primary endpoint respectively (p=0.048). The estimated HRs were 0.78 (95% CI: 0.606–0.997, p=0.046) in the unadjusted model and 0.76 (95% CI: 0.596–0.984, p=0.032) in the adjusted model (Figure). The HRs were broadly similar for the pretreatment dosage of 40 mg or 80 mg (0.78 vs 0.77, p=0.75). The HRs were even stronger in patients with single-vessel only than multi-vessel coronary artery disease (0.31 vs 0.75, p=0.014).
Conclusion
Among Chinese patients with STEMI, atorvastatin pretreatment before primary PCI may have better long-term composite outcome of all-cause mortality, non-fatal MI, or stroke events.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Prediction of in-hospital bleeding is critical for clinical decision making for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Machine learning methods can automatically select the combination of the important features and learn their underlying relationship with the outcome.
Objective
We aim to evaluate the predictive value of machine learning methods to predict in-hospital bleeding for AMI patients.
Methods
We used data from the multicenter China Acute Myocardial Infarction (CAMI) registry. We randomly partitioned the cohort into derivation set (75%) and validation set (25%). Using data from the derivation set, we applied a state-of-art machine learning algorithm, XGBoost, to automatically select features from 106 candidate variables and train a risk prediction model to predict in-hospital bleeding (BARC 3, 5 definition).
Results
16736 AMI patients who underwent PCI were consecutively included in the analysis, while 70 (0.42%) patients had in-hospital bleeding followed the BARC 3,5 definition of bleeding. Fifty-nine features were automatically selected from the candidate features and were used to construct the prediction model. The area under the curve (AUC) of the XGBoost model was 0.816 (95% CI: 0.745–0.887) on the validation set, while AUC of the CRUSADE risk score was 0.723 (95% CI: 0.619–0.828).

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Although primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) is the optimal reperfusion method for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), it remains difficult to implement in many areas. Some STEMI patients have to accept fibrinolytic therapy and no reperfusion therapy instead.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to describe the impact of reperfusion therapy on the long-term outcomes of STEMI patients in China.
Methods
Using data from the China Acute Myocardial Infarction (CAMI) registry, we analyzed the 2-year outcomes of 18,075 STEMI patients symptom onset within 7 days from January 2013 to September 2014 according to the type of reperfusion therapy. The primary endpoint was a composite of major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), defined as all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction or stroke.
Results
7798 (43%) were treated with pPCI and 1798 (10%) underwent fibrinolysis; 8479 (47%) did not receive any reperfusion. The 2-year MACE was 9.6% following pPCI, 15.7% following fibrinolysis, and 21.5% for patients without reperfusion therapy (P<0.0001). Adjusted hazard ratios for 2-year MACE were 0.71 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.65–0.78, P<0.0001) for pPCI versus no reperfusion and 0.92 (95% CI 0.82–1.03, P=0.16) for fibrinolysis versus no reperfusion. Compared with patients without reperfusion, fibrinolysis only showed benefit in patients presented within 3 hours of symptom onset (HR 0.70, 95% CI 0.57–0.85, P=0.0005), whereas pPCI was associated with significantly decreased 2-year MACE rate in patients presented within 3 hours (HR 0.53, 95% CI 0.44–0.64, P<0.0001), 3–6 hours (HR 0.60, 95% CI 0.51–0.71, P<0.0001) and >6 hours (HR 0.86, 95% CI 0.76–0.97, P=0.01) of symptom onset.
Adjusted cumulative MACE rate
Conclusions
In a real-world setting, early reperfusion is the optimal strategy for STEMI. Fibrinolysis was not associated with better outcome in STEMI patients admitted >3 hours of symptom onset in Chinese real world setting.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the short-term outcome of patients with acute myocardial infarction complicating cardiogenic shock due to left main disease. Methods: A total of 24 patients with acute myocardial infarction complicating cardiogenic shock due to left main artery disease hospitalized in Fuwai hospital from June 2012 to May 2018 were included. The clinical data were analyzed,and the patients were divided into survivor group (11 cases) and death group (13 cases) according to survival status at 28 days post the diagnosis of shock. The patients were further divided into thrombolysis in myocardial infarction(TIMI) flow grade 0-2 group (11 cases) and TIMI flow grade 3 group (13 cases) according to TIMI flow grade after the procedure. The patients were then divided into non-three-vessel lesions group (14 cases) and three-vessel lesions group (10 cases) according to coronary angiography results. Results: Compared with survivor group, patients in death group presented with lower worst systolic blood pressure within 24 hours after admission (50(48, 70) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs. 73(70, 80) mmHg, P<0.01), lower worst diastolic blood pressure with in 24 hours after admission ((33.5±12.4) mmHg vs. (48.9±9.4) mmHg, P<0.01), higher respiratory rates ((27.3±2.5) times/min vs. (21.5±4.0) times/min, P<0.01), less 24 hours urine output ((422±266) ml vs. (1 680±863) ml, P<0.01), lower platelet counts ((161.9±81.9)×10(9)/L vs. (241.6±94.0)×10(9)/L, P=0.03), higher serum creatinine ((250.0±36.8) μmol/L vs. (132.7±34.2) μmol/L, P<0.01), higher alanine aminotransferase (288(76,846) IU/ml vs. 81(42, 109) IU/ml, P=0.04), lower artery pH (7.11±0.17 vs. 7.39±0.09, P<0.01), higher lactic acid ((10.29±3.62) mmol/L vs. (4.21±2.85) mmol/L, P<0.01), higher incidence of invasive ventilation (7/13 vs. 2/11, P=0.02), higher scores of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) Ⅱ (35.4±6.8 vs. 18.7±1.7, P<0.01) and simplified acute physiology score (SAPS) Ⅱ (73.5±17.4 vs. 47.0±4.3, P<0.01), and higher incidence of target vessel TIMI flow grade 0-2 (10/13 vs. 1/11, P<0.01). Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that survival rate at 28 days post the diagnosis of shock in TIMI flow grade 3 group was higher than that in TIMI flow grade 0-2 group (76.9% vs. 9.1%, log-rank test, P<0.01), and mortality rate was similar at 28 days post the diagnosis of shock between non-three-vessel lesions group and three-vessel lesions group (35.7% vs. 60.0%, log-rank test, P=0.14). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with TIMI flow grade 0-2 group, the OR value of death at 28 days post the diagnosis of shock in TIMI flow grade 3 patients with acute myocardial infarction complicating cardiogenic shock due to left main disease was 0.030(95%CI 0.003-0.340, P<0.01). Conclusion: Short-term outcomeof patients with acute myocardial infarction complicating cardiogenic shock due to left main disease remains poor, and final flow of TIMI grade 3 is confirmed as independent protective factor of death at 28 days post the diagnosis of shock in these patients.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the prognostic value of the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) and global registry of acute coronary events (GRACE) risk scores for in-hospital mortality in Chinese non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients. Methods: Data of present study derived from the prospective, multi-center registry trial of Chinese AMI (CAMI). Among 31 provinces, municipalities or autonomous districts in China, at least one tertiary and secondary hospital was selected. From January 2013 to September 2014, 5 896 consecutive non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients who were admitted to 107 hospitals within 7 days of symptom onset were enrolled. For each patient, TIMI and GRACE risk scores were calculated using specific variables collected at admission. Their prognostic value was evaluated by the endpoint of in-hospital mortality. Results: Among 5 896 NSTEMI patients (age was (65.4±12.1) years old), 68.2% (n=4 020) were males. The in-hospital mortality was 6.0% (n=353) and the median length of hospital stay was 10.0 (7.0, 13.0) days. The incidence of pre-hospital cardiac arrest was 3.6% (n=213) among 5 896 NSTEMI patients. Six hundreds and forty five patients (10.9%) received primary percutaneous coronary intervention, and 6 patients underwent emergent coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (0.1%), and the median time of reperfusion was 529.5 (256.0, 1 065.0) minutes. The prescription percentage of statins, β-blocker, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blockers, and aldosterone antagonists were 94.8% (n=5 587), 71.7% (n=4 228), 65.5% (n=3 864) and 26.0% (n=1 533) respectively. The area under the curve of GRACE risk score for in-hospital mortality (0.7930 (95%CI 0.767-0.818)) was better than that of TIMI risk score (0.5588 (95%CI 0.532-0.586), P<0.001). Conclusion: GRACE risk score demonstrates better predictive accuracy than TIMI risk score for in-hospital mortality in NSTEMI patients in this patient cohort.

Abstract
Background Malnutrition is a common and critical problem that influences outcome in cancer patients. Body composition reflects a patient's metabolic profile and physiologic reserves, which might be the true determinant of prognosis. In the present study, which aimed to identify valuable new prognostic indicators, we investigated the association between computed tomography-quantified body composition and short-term outcomes after gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Methods Skeletal muscle index, mean muscle attenuation, and ratio of visceral-to-subcutaneous adipose tissue area (vsr) were calculated from preoperative computed tomography images. Low skeletal muscle index, low mean muscle attenuation, and high vsr were respectively termed "sarcopenia," "myosteatosis," and "visceral obesity." The association of body composition with postoperative complications and serum markers of nutrition and inflammation after radical gastrectomy were analyzed. Results The overall complication rate was significantly higher in the sarcopenia (62.5% vs. 27.3%, p = 0.001) and myosteatosis groups (38.2% vs. 4%, p = 0.002). Patients with visceral obesity had a higher incidence of inflammatory complications (20.3% vs. 6.5%, p = 0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that sarcopenia (p = 0.013), myosteatosis (p = 0.017), and low serum retinol-binding protein (p = 0.019) were independent risk factors for overall complications. Compared with control subjects, patients with sarcopenia had lower postoperative levels of serum retinol-binding protein (p = 0.007), and patients with visceral obesity had higher levels of C-reactive protein (p = 0.026). Conclusions Sarcopenia, myosteatosis, and visceral obesity were significantly associated with increased rates of postoperative complications and affected the postoperative nutrition and inflammation status of patients with gastric cancer.

Abstract
Objective: To compare predictive value of the current 7 scoring systems and CADILLAC-plus scoring system for risk of short-term deathin patients with acute myocardial infarction complicating cardiogenic shock. Methods: A total of 126 acute myocardial infarction patients complicating cardiogenic shock hospitalized in Fuwai hospital from June 2014 to January 2018 were enrolled in this study, the clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into survival group(49 cases) and death group(77 cases) according to survival or not at 28 days after diagnosis of cardiogenic shock.The scores of APACHE Ⅱ,APACHE Ⅲ,SAPS Ⅱ,PAMI, TIMI-STEMI,TIMI-NSTEMI,and CADILLAC were calculated within 24 hours in coronary care unit (CCU),and scores of CADILLAC-plus, which is an improved score derived from CADILLAC, was also calculated. The predictive value of the different scoring systems for 28 day smortality of acute myocardial infarction patients complicating cardiogenic shock were compared in this patient cohort. Results: Scores of APACHEⅡ,APACHEⅢ,SAPSⅡ,PAMI,TIMI-STEMI, TIMI-NSTEMI,CADILLAC,and CADILLAC-plus were all significantly higher in death group than in survival group: (28.9±10.2 vs. 21.8±8.3,94.0 (57.0,114.0) vs. 57.0 (45.4,81.5) ,62.0 (46.0,81.0) vs. 47.0 (41.5,60.5) ,7.0 (6.0,9.0) vs. 6.0 (6.0,7.5) ,10.0 (9.0,11.0) vs. 9.0 (8.0,10.0) ,4.0 (3.0,5.0) vs. 3.0 (3.0,4.0) ,10.0 (7.0,12.0) vs. 7.0 (5.0,9.0) ,and 10.0 (8.0,14.0) vs. 7.0 (5.0,10.0) , respectively, all P<0.01).The area under the curve(AUC) of receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve for predicting 28 days death of APACHE Ⅱ,APACHE Ⅲ,SAPS Ⅱ,PAMI, TIMI-STEMI,TIMI-NSTEMI,and CADILLAC scoring systems were 0.820,0.797,0.785,0.667,0.657,0.711,and 0.821,respectively and cut-off value was 27.5,79.5,66.0,8.5,10.5,3.5,and 8.5, respectively and the sensitivity was 0.766,0.844,0.649,0.494,0.494,0.740,and 0.753, respectively and specificity was 0.816,0.755,0.837,0.204,0.796,0.571,and 0.755,respectively.The AUC of ROC of CADILLAC-plus scoring system was 0.885,cut-off value was 9.5, sensitivity was 0.896,and specificity was 0.735.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the accuracy of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in detecting root cracks after root canal instrumentation using histological gold standard. METHODS Twenty complete extracted human mandibular incisors that were free of caries, calculus, and root treatment were chosen and accessed coronally with a diamond bur, then mounted in resin blocks with alginate impression material using simulated periodontal ligaments, and the apex was exposed 3 mm. The teeth were stored in water at room temperature. Then the teeth were then instrumented to the major apical foramen (AF) at #30/0.09 using ProTaper Universal rotary nickel titanium system (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland), irrigation with 1% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) by using a 26-gauge needle followed after each instrument. The apical root was scanned with 360° of rotation by Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography (SS-OCT) (wavelength: 1 310 nm, scan rate: 20 kHz, axial resolution: 16 μm) with driving device (stepper motor and lifting platform). The reconstruction images of axial planes 1, 2 and 3 mm from the apex were examined and the root cracks were blindly diagnosed by two observers. The horizontal section was performed at 1, 2 and 3 mm from the apex using low speed disc saw (Leica SP1600, Wetzlar, Germany). The presence of cracks was noted under an optical stereomicroscope (ZOOM-630E) with a cold light source using as gold standard to evaluate the accuracy of OCT in detecting root cracks after root canal instrumentation. RESULTS After canals instrumentation with ProTaper Universal rotary nickel titanium system to #30/0.09, root cracks were detected in 9 of 20 teeth by histological examination. Crack lines were observed on 13 of 60 horizontal sections and cracks on 12 of the 13 sections were detected by OCT. No cracks were observed in the other 47 of the 60 horizontal sections,none of which was misdiagnosed by OCT. The overall accuracy rate for detection of root cracks with OCT was 0.983, the sensitivity was 0.923, the specificity was 1.000, the positive predictive value (PPV) was 1.000 and the negative predictive value (NPV) was 0.979. CONCLUSION OCT may be a promising nondestructive imaging method for diagnosing root canal cracks after canal instrumentation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the osteogenic effects of a nano-sized 58S bioactive glass (nano-58S BG) and a traditional 45S5 bioactive glass(45S5 BG) in penetrating parietal critical bone defects. METHODS Critical bone defect with 9 mm diameter was created in the parietal bone of New Zealand rabbits. The bone defects were then filled with either nano-58S BG, or 45S5 BG, or nothing but the newly-formed blood clot as the blank control at random. For histological observation, specimens were gained 4 and 8 weeks after the surgery, sectioned and stained by HE. The amount of collagen type I was observed with Picric-Sirius Red staining through polarimetry. To observe the new bone formation with fluorescence under the laser confocal microscope, we injected fluorescent markers 14, 28, and 42 days after the surgery. The markers were tetracycline hydrochloride, alizarin red and calcin individually in chronological order. Image J software was used to quantify the bone regeneration. RESULTS HE staining showed that BG particulates were integrated with the surrounding tissue without any inflammatory cells infiltration 4 weeks after surgery. New bone regeneration was observed both from the border and in the center of the defects in both BG groups. No bone regeneration in defect center was observed in control group. At the end of 8 weeks, there was more bone regeneration in nano-58S group compared with 45S5 group and control group. The structure of the new bone in BG groups was hollow, which was similar to the natural normal parietal bone. No hollow structure was observed in the new bone of control group. Picric-sirius Red polarimetry showed that more amount of collagen type I was found in nano-58S group than in either 45S5 or control group. The fluorescent observation of the hard tissue slices at the end of 8 weeks showed statistically larger scope and faster new bone formation in nano-58S group with (29.4±4.48) μm thickness from 4-6 weeks and (35.3±3.74) μm from 6-8 weeks compared with 45S5 group [(13.43±3.44) μm and (17.64±4.13) μm] and control group [(5.88±2.92) μm and (6.07±3.02) μm, P<0.01]. CONCLUSION Compared with the traditional 45S5 bioactive glass, 58S nano-sized bioactive glass showed better osteogenic effect in bone regeneration in parietal bones of rabbits.

Abstract
Objective: To determine the age-related coronary risk factors in Chinese patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: Among 31 provinces, municipalities or autonomous districts in China, from January 1st 2013 to September 30th 2014, 24 394 consecutive AMI patients who were admitted to 107 hospitals were divided into five groups according to age. Cardiovascular risk factors of groupⅠ (<45 years, n=2 307), group Ⅱ (45-54 years, n=4 448), group Ⅲ (55-64 years, n=7 029), group Ⅳ (65-74 years, n=6 147) and group Ⅴ (≥75 years, n=4 463) patients were compared. Results: Among 24 394 AMI patients [with a mean age of (62.2±13.8) years, 18 162 males], 24.7% patients had three and more conventional modifiable cardiovascular risk factors. ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) was diagnosed in 18 209 (74.6%) patients. The ratios of female, hypertension and diabetes tended to increase with the increase of age. Young AMI patients were predisposed to smoking, overweight/obesity and hyperglycemia. Nearly 90% patients in group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ were male. The ratio of male patients (92.3% to 58.0%), overweight/obesity (63.9% to 37.4%), current smoking (68.7% to 19.8%), dyslipidemia (9.1% to 4.5%), family history of premature coronary artery disease (CAD) (6.2% to 1.2%) and eating greasy food (86.1% to 66.2%) decreased markedly from group Ⅰ to Ⅴ patients. Proportion of hypertension gradually increased from 34.3% in group Ⅰ patients to 57.9% in group Ⅴ patients. Diabetes was most common to group Ⅳ (65-74 years) patients. Conclusion: There were different risk factors for AMI patients in different age groups, and young AMI patients were predisposed to live an unhealthy lifestyle.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between shift work and overweight/obesity in male steel workers. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among the male steel workers selected during health examination in Tangshan Steel Company from March 2015 to March 2016. The relationship between shift work and overweight/obesity in the male steel workers were analyzed by using logistic regression model and restricted cubic splinemodel. Results: A total of 7 262 male steel workers were surveyed, the overall prevalence of overweight/obesitywas 64.5% (4 686/7 262), the overweight rate was 34.3% and the obesity rate was 30.2%, respectively. After adjusting for age, educational level and average family income level per month by multivariable logistic regression analysis, shift work was associated with overweight/obesity and obesity in the male steel workers. The OR was 1.19(95% CI: 1.05-1.35) and 1.15(95% CI: 1.00-1.32). Restricted cubic spline model analysis showed that the relationship between shift work years and overweight/obesity in the male steel workers was a nonlinear dose response one (nonlinear test χ2=7.43, P<0.05). Restricted cubic spline model analysis showed that the relationship between shift work years and obesity in the male steel workers was a nonlinear dose response one (nonlinear test χ2=10.48, P<0.05). Conclusion: Shift work was associated with overweight and obesity in the male steel workers, and shift work years and overweight/obesity had a nonlinear relationship.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Assessed the effect of single dose attack of Coca-Cola on early erosion and surface microhardness of permanent human enamel, in order to provide diet instructions on minimum amount and frequency of carbonated beverage consumption. METHODS Eighty enamel slabs were prepared out of 10 extracted human mandibular third molars, and distributed into 8 groups with randomized block design(n=10). Ten generally healthy volunteers with normal saliva secretion wore acrylic palatal appliances containing 2 enamel slabs, with formation of a salivary pellicle 2 h ahead. The volunteers were instructed to drink 100 ml fresh Coca-Cola within 20 s. And then the alterations of the enamel slabs were measured using a Vicker's microhardness tester at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 20 and 30 min after the consumption of Coca-Cola. For each volunteer, the experiment was carried out in four days, 2 samples were examined each time. Data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis and Wilcoxon tests(α =0.05). RESULTS Significant decreases in surface microhardness(SMH)were observed in each time point(P<0.01). The percentages of surface microhardness changes on each exposure time were(12.2±3.9)%,(16.8±5.5)%,(16.7±5.6)%,(16.2±6.2)%,(16.6±9.0)%,(15.6±3.7)%,(13.8±4.8)% and(11.4±3.2)%, respectively. Significant differences were observed between G1 min and G2-8 min(P=0.029), G2-8 min and G30 min(P=0.008). CONCLUSIONS Single intake of 100 ml Coca-Cola could lead to significant decrease of enamel microhardness and initiate erosion of enamel surface. Enamel surface microhardness decreased to the lowest points at 2-8 min, and began to recover after 10 min. The enamel surface microhardness could not fully recovered to the baseline level in 30 min if no intervention was performed.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the value of power Doppler ultrasonography (PDUS) in the early diagnosis of tibialis posterior tendon injury induced by rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Method: From January 2014 to December 2015, a total of 48 cases (60 feet) of RA tendinopathy group were selected as the research subjects from Guanghua Hospital; 12 cases(20 feet) of non-RA tendinopathy group and 10 cases (20 feet) of healthy volunteers were selected as control group.The blood flow signals of pannus were observed by PDUS to determine whether the tendon was injured or the degree of the injury. The following indexes were compared and analyzed by Chi-square testing: (1)positive rate of blood flow signal; (2)grade of blood flow signal; (3)spatial distribution of blood flow signal: diffusibility or local. Results: Of 70 cases(100 feet) in the study, the positive blood flow signals were only in the RA(88.3%) and non-RA group(40.0%) .Grade Ⅲ in RA was 20.0%, while this was not observed in non-RA . Grade Ⅱ in RA and non-RA was 36.7% and 10.0% , respectively. There were significant differences in the positive rate and grades between RA and non-RA group (P<0.01). The spatial distribution of blood flow signal in RA was significantly different from that in non-RA. In RA, they can be detected in the whole tendon.However, they were mainly distributed around the scaphoid in non-RA. In this study, three patients with grade Ⅲwere treated with surgery. The intraoperative findings were consistent with the preoperative ultrasound results. Conclusions: PDUS can be used to detect the neovascular formation of tendon synovitis. It can detect the early tendon injury before the appearance of foot deformity induced by RA, which can guide clinical early intervention treatment and prevent the occurrence of deformity and other serious consequences.

Cell morphology was observed under an inverted microscope.Cell proliferation was measured by methyl-thiazol-diphenyltetrazolium (MTT) assay. ALP assay kit was used for measuring alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. Sealers of 2 weeks' setting time were then immersed in an osteogenic medium for examination of mineral nodules and calcium deposits. RESULTS Considering the relative growth rate(RGR),ZOE was severely to moderately cytotoxic(RGR:13.6%-39.9%), while ERS was slightly or not cytotoxic (RGR: 87.6%-95.3%).Only SBS did not show any cytotoxicity after setting (RGR: 91.8%-106.7%). The setting time influenced the cytotoxicity of ERS which decreased after 1 week. Considering the ALP activity,there was no difference between SBS group and control group (F=3.397,P=0.053). According to the results of calcium deposits, ZOE:D562 nm=0.180±0.050,ERS: D562 nm=2.968±0.201,SBS:D562 nm=3.623±0.039,Control:D562 nm=3.477±0.102,the ranking of ALP activity and calcium deposits was as follows: ZOE<ERS <SBS=Control. CONCLUSION The cytotoxicity of ZOE was the highest and persisted with time. The setting time had influence on the cytotoxicity of ERS. Only SBS did not show any cytotoxicity or inhibition of the mineral potential on hPDLCs, indicating which was more biocompatible than the others.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the medical care resources of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in Chinese hospitals of different regions and levels. METHODS We selected 115 hospitals in China, including 61 northern hospitals, 54 southern hospitals, 52 eastern hospitals, 26 central hospitals, 37 western hospitals, 79 tertiary hospitals, 36 secondary hospitals, 34 pro vincial-level hospitals, 46 prefectural-level hospitals and 35 county hospitals. From November 2012 to August 2013, we sent questionnaire to the cardiologists in each hospital, to collect related information. RESULTS (1) The number of AMI admitted each year of northern hospital was more than the number of southern hospital (220 (120, 400) cases vs. 220 (80, 350) cases, P=0.033), while number of coronary care unit (CCU), thrombolytic therapy, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), primary PCI and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) were similar (all P> 0.05). (2) The number of AMI admitted each year of eastern, central and western hospital was 295(150, 501) cases, 175(75, 300) cases and 170(50, 250) cases respectively(P=0.007), with no significant difference among them for setting CCU, carrying out thrombolytic therapy, PCI, primary PCI and CABG (all P>0.05). (3) The total number of the in-patient beds and AMI admitted each year of tertiary hospitals were significantly higher than that in the secondary hospitals(104(70, 152)vs. 47(30, 52), P<0.001) and (300(200, 460)cases vs.80(47, 135)cases, P<0.001) respectively. There was a significant difference between tertiary and secondary hospitals for the number of CCU (97.5% (77/79)and 75.0%(27/36)), PCI (98.7%(78/79)and 27.8%(10/36)), primary PCI (96.2%(76/79)and 22.2%(8/36)), CABG (81.0%(64/79)and 11.1%(4/36)), intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) (91.1%(72/79) and 13.9%(5/36)) respectively (all P<0.001). (4) There were obvious differences among provincial-level, prefectural-level and country-level hospitals for the admitted AMI patient numbers annually which was 400(250, 600), 232(100, 380)and 80(50, 162)cases, CCU proportion which was 100 %(34/34), 95.7%(44/46) and 74.3%(26/35), thrombolytic therapy proportion which was 88.2%(30/34), 100%(46/46)and 91.4%(32/35), PCI proportion which was 100%(34/34), 89.1%(41/46)and 37.1%(13/35), primary PCI proportion which was 100%(34/34), 84.8%(39/46)and 31.4%(11/35), CABG proportion which was 97.1%(33/34), 67.4%(31/46) and 11.4%(4/35)respectively (P<0.01 or 0.05) . CONCLUSIONS Different regional hospitals have no significant difference in number of CCU and reperfusion therapies, while there is a big difference on medical care resources of AMI between different-level hospitals, which may affect the diagnosis and treatment effect of patients with AMI.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-induced protein 8(TNFAIP8), the first identified member of the TNFAIP8 family, shares considerable sequence homology with members of this family. It is expressed in a wide variety of human normal tissues, with relatively higher levels in lymphoid tissues and placenta. The present study was designed to examine the effect of TNFAIP8 on T-cell-mediated immunity secondary to burn injury. Sixty male mice were randomly divided into four groups as follows: sham burn group, burn group, burn with TNFAIP8-siRNA transfection group, and burn with negative control transfection group, and they were sacrificed at designated time points. CD4+ T cells were isolated using MACS microbeads. T-Cell proliferation was analyzed with MTT assay, and IL-2, soluble IL-2R, IL-4, interferon-γ (IFN-γ) were determined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. It was found that CD4+ T lymphocyte proliferative activity was significantly down-regulated when TNFAIP8 gene was silenced by siRNA in mice at 24 h post burn. Down-regulation of TNFAIP8 can significantly decrease expression levels of IL-2 and soluble IL-2R at 24 h after thermal injury. These results demonstrated that TNFAIP8 appeared to be involved in the immune regulation of CD4+ T lymphocytes, and the decreased expression of TNFAIP8 could affect T lymphocyte functions after thermal injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the assessments of the presence or absence and the changes of post-treatment periapical lesions using periapical radiographs versus cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). METHODS Imaging records were selected from a sample of 233 radiographic examinations (including periapical radiographs and CBCT) of patients with chronic apical periododontitis who received treatment and review in Department of Cariology and Endodontology of Peking University School of Stomatology. After testing the inter-observer and intra-observer agreement, two observers determined the presence or absence of a periapical lesion and classified the changes of lesions in 4 categories: absence, reduction or enlargement of lesion, or uncertain. The differences between CBCT and periapical radiographs in detecting the presence or absence and the changes of periapical lesions were compared using McNemar test and Fisher's exact test respectively. RESULTS In the study, 233 teeth were assessed with both periapical radiographs and CBCT images. Periapical lesions were detected in 178 teeth on CBCT scans and in 146 teeth on periapical radiographs. CBCT images revealed a significantly larger number of lesions than were revealed by periapical radiographs (P<0.01). There was disagreement on the changes of lesions between the two radiological technologies in 25% teeth, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). CONCLUSION Significant differences were observed between periapical radiographs and CBCT in detection of post-treatment periapical lesions and assessment of the changes of periapical lesions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the age-related differences in the clinical symptoms and triggering factors among Chinese patients with acute myocardial infarction. METHODS Acute myocardial infarction Patients (n=14 854) registered in the China Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry from January 2013 to March 2014 were included in this study. Patients were divided into 4 groups: <55 years old group (3 950 patients), 55-64 years old group (4 361 patients), 65-74 years old group ( 3 759 patients), and ≥75 years old group (2 784 patients). Demographic features, medical history, clinical presentation and triggering factors were obtained via electronic data capture system. RESULTS (1)Persistent chest pain and sweat were the major typical symptoms 66.4%(9 863/14 854) and 63.8%(9 471/14 854)) in the whole cohort. Prevalence of persistent chest pain among four groups were 73.8%(2 915/3 950), 69.2%(3 016/4 361), 63.6%(2 394/3 759) and 55.2%(1 538/2 784), and radiating pain among four groups were 36.2%(1 428/3 950), 34.1%(1 487/4 361), 30.9%(1 160/3 759)and 25.9%(722/2 784), and sweat among four groups were 70.0%(2 765/3 950), 66.5%(2 898/4 361), 61.8%%(2 323/3 759)and 53.3%(1 485/2 784), and there were statistical significance for all above symptoms among groups (all P<0.001). (2)triggering factors before acute myocardial infarction could be found in 19.4%(2 879/14 854) of the patients. Prevalence of existed triggering factors among four groups were 23.8%(941/3 950), 21.0%(914/4 361), 16.6%(625/3 759) and 14.3%(399/2 784, P<0.001). Recent excessive unhealthy lifestyles among four groups were 20.8%(196/3 950), 11.9%(109/4 361), 10.1%(63/3 759) and 9.0%(36/2 784) among the 4 groups (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Persistent chest pain and sweat are absent in nearly half of Chinese patients in ≥75 years old group. Triggering factors prior to acute myocardial infarction could be evidenced in about twenty percent patients, and which are more often in young patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the biological characteristics of new retrograde filling materials iRoot BP plus and iRoot FS. METHODS (1) The roots were cut into 3 mm in length, and the root canals were prepared to 1 mm in diameter, followed by being filled with iRoot BP plus, iRoot FS, or mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). The specimens were immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF). The ability of mineralization in vitro was detected through three studies. First, the mineralization of specimens was analyzed through scanning electron microscope observations and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer. Then, the pH of SBF was monitored using pH meter. (2) The extracts were gained by immersing blocks of iRoot BP plus, iRoot FS, and MTA (8 mm diameter and 2 mm height) into dulbecco's modified eagle medium (DMEM). The effects of the extracts on proliferation of MG63 cells were detected through MTT assay. The gene expression level of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR, and the expression of ALP activity was observed by ALP activity staining. RESULTS (1) The formation of minerals could be observed on the surfaces of iRoot BP plus, iRoot FS, and MTA at the end of 24 h, and there were more amounts of apatite aggregated after 14 days. The values of Ca/P ratios of apatites were 1.43, 1.39, and 1.51, respectively. (2) The pH of SBF could be raised to 8.09±0.07, 7.91±0.06, and 8.11±0.06, respectively, significantly higher than the blank. (3) The extracts of iRoot BP plus, iRoot FS, and MTA of dilutions of 1:5 and 1:10 presented no effect of proliferation of MG63 cells. (4) iRoot BP plus and iRoot FS could significantly up-regulated the levels of ALP messenger RNA expression, while there was no obvious difference in ALP staining among the iRoot BP plus, iRoot FS, MTA, and the blank. CONCLUSION The present study shows that iRoot has displayed good mineralization capability in vitro and capability to promote differentiation and mineralization of MG63 cells, inferring that iRoot may have good bioactivity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the long-term efficacy of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment for patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). METHODS This case control study was performed among 154 patients with moderate or severe OSAS between September 2009 and September 2014. Patients were divided into treatment group (n=66, 53 patients with hypertension) and control group (n=88, 67 patients with hypertension). The long-term efficacy of CPAP treatment on clinical events and blood pressure was evaluated. RESULTS The combined incidence of death, myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization and stroke events was 1.5% (1/66) in treatment group and 11.4% (10/88) in control group (P<0.05). CPAP treatment also led to more significant reduction in systolic blood pressure ((12.24±18.06) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) to (4.24±16.63) mmHg, P<0.05) in the patients with hypertension in these two groups. CONCLUSIONS CPAP treatment could reduce the risk of cardiovascular and neurovascular events for patients with moderate or severe OSAS.

Abstract
The transcriptomic profiles of human breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-435 were investigated using the next-generation RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). The DESeq package was used to screen the differentially expressed transcripts. A total of 229 genes with a significantly differential expression in MDA-MB-435 cells as compared with MCF-7 cells were obtained. Annotation of the biological functions of these genes through the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) v6.7 demonstrated that the 229 differentially expressed genes were mainly implicated in the biological functions related to cell adhesion and motion, antigen processing and presentation (via MHC class II), hormone response, extracellular structure organization, tissue remodeling, and cell proliferation regulation. Analysis of the individual genes demonstrated that MDA-MB-435 cells exhibited a higher tendency to metastasis and antigen processing and presentation, and lower ability to hormone response. Twenty most abundant transcripts in MDA-MB-435 cells, such as VIM, TNC, and CD74, represent its high potential for metastasis. Besides the genes previously reported to be involved in tumor metastasis and development, genes newly identified in this study could provide new clues for the diagnosis and prognosis of aggressive breast cancers.

Abstract
Site-directed mutagenesis is an essential technique for investigating the mechanisms of gene regulation on a molecular level, as well as for exploring post-translational modifications and functional structure at the protein level. Polymerase chain reaction combining in vitro synthesis of oligonucleotide primers allows for site-directed mutation to be performed with ease. However, site-directed mutagenesis is difficult when larger plasmids are involved. Here, we present a novel method for generating large gene site-directed mutagenesis products based on a cut-and-paste-based cloning strategy. This method uses 4 primers, incorporating relevant mutations and restriction enzyme site sequences, to generate 2 DNA fragments by polymerase chain reaction. The fragments are then ligated into TA cloning vectors. Large genes containing mutations of interest were obtained by cutting and then pasting, and then inserting one fragment into another T-vector. We demonstrated the practicality of this method by creating a G59S mutation within the p150(Glued)-encoding gene.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the adaptation of different materials for gingival layer in Class II restorations using Micro-CT. METHODS Eighteen extracted human premolars were selected, and Class II cavities were prepared. The teeth were randomly divided into six groups and restored using layering technique. Six materials were used for gingival layer, including four injectable materials: Beautifil Flow Plus F00 (F00), Beautifil Flow F10 (F10), Filtek Z350 Flowable (Z350F), FujiII LC CAPSULE (Fuji), and two packable materials: BeautifilII (BF), Filtek Z350 (Z350). The restored teeth were scanned with micro-CT and the images were 3D reconstructed to evaluate the volumes and the distribution of the voids on the restoration-tooth interface of the gingival layer. The volume of the voids were statistically analyzed using nonparametric Jonckheere-Terpstra tests. RESULTS The volumes (mm(3)) of the voids on the restoration-tooth interface were: Z350F (0.000 15), F10 (0.000 39), F00 (0.012), Fuji (0.070), Z350 (0.16) and BF (0.20). There were significant differences between Z350F/F10 and Fuji/Z350/BF (P < 0.05). Most of the voids were found on the point-line angles of the cavities. CONCLUSION The voids on the restoration-tooth interface were mainly on the point-line angles of the cavities. Injectable materials with high flowablility could reduce the restoration-tooth interface voids significantly when used for the gingival layer in Class II restorations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Genistein is an isoflavone phytoestrogen found in a number of plants such as soybeans and there is accumulating evidence that it has beneficial effects on the regulation of glucose homeostasis. In this study we evaluated the effect of genistein on glucose homeostasis and its underlying mechanisms in normal and insulin-resistant conditions. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH To induce insulin resistance, mice or differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes were treated with macrophage-derived conditioned medium. A glucose tolerance test was used to investigate the effect of genistein. Insulin signalling activation, glucose transporter-4 (GLUT4) translocation and AMP-activated PK (AMPK) activation were detected by Western blot analysis or elisa. KEY RESULTS Genistein impaired glucose tolerance and attenuated insulin sensitivity in normal mice by inhibiting the insulin-induced phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS1) at tyrosine residues, leading to inhibition of insulin-mediated GLUT4 translocation in adipocytes. Mac-CM, an inflammatory stimulus induced glucose intolerance accompanied by impaired insulin sensitivity; genistein reversed these changes by restoring the disturbed IRS1 function, leading to an improvement in GLUT4 translocation. In addition, genistein increased AMPK activity under both normal and inflammatory conditions; this was shown to contribute to the anti-inflammatory effect of genistein, which leads to an improvement in insulin signalling and the amelioration of insulin resistance. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS Genistein showed opposite effects on insulin sensitivity under normal and inflammatory conditions in adipose tissue and this action was derived from its negative or positive regulation of IRS1 function. Its up-regulation of AMPK activity contributes to the inhibition of inflammation implicated in insulin resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The development of active tuberculosis disease has been shown to be multifactorial. Interactions between host and bacterial genotype may influence disease outcome, with some studies indicating the adaptation of M. tuberculosis strains to specific human populations. Here we investigate the role of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I genes in this biological process. METHODS Three hundred patients with tuberculosis from South Africa were typed for their HLA class I alleles by direct sequencing. Mycobacterium tuberculosis genotype classification was done by IS6110 restriction fragment length polymorphism genotyping and spoligotyping. RESULTS We showed that Beijing strain occurred more frequently in individuals with multiple disease episodes (P < .001) with the HLA-B27 allele lowering the odds of having an additional episode (odds ratio, 0.21; P = .006). Associations were also identified for specific HLA types and disease caused by the Beijing, LAM, LCC, and Quebec strains. HLA types were also associated with disease caused by strains from the Euro-American or East Asian lineages, and the frequencies of these alleles in their sympatric human populations identified potential coevolutionary events between host and pathogen. CONCLUSIONS This is the first report of the association of human HLA types and M. tuberculosis strain genotype, highlighting that both host and pathogen genetics need to be taken into consideration when studying tuberculosis disease development.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the fracture resistance and fracture patterns of root filled maxillary first premolar teeth (with mesio-occlusal cavity preparation) restored with several composite restoration designs. METHODOLOGY One hundred extracted sound human maxillary first premolars were randomly divided into five groups. Group 1 remained untreated (negative control). Conventional root canal treatment with additional mesial-occlusal cavity preparation was carried out on teeth in groups 2-5. In group 2, the teeth were restored intra-coronally with direct composite resin (positive control). In group 3, the palatal cusps of the teeth were reduced, and the cavities were restored with composite resin covering the palatal cusp (partial coverage). In group 4, the buccal and palatal cusps along with the distal marginal ridges were reduced; the cavities and cusps were restored with composite resin (conventional full coverage). In group 5, the buccal and palatal cusps were reduced but the distal marginal ridges were conserved. The cavities and the cusps were restored with composite resin (modified full coverage). All teeth were subjected to a progressive compressive loading parallel to their longitudinal axis until fracture. Fracture resistance was analysed using the one-way ANOVA and Fisher's LSD test. Fracture patterns were analyzed with chi-square test. The significance level was set at 0.05. RESULTS The fracture resistance (mean ± SD) of groups 1-5 was 1131 ± 207N, 904 ± 184N, 927 ± 224N, 1095 ± 289N and 1085 ± 243N, respectively (groups 1, 4, 5 > groups 2, 3; P = 0.004). Cusp fractures were recorded as the fracture pattern in 20 (100%), 19 (95%), 16 (80%), 8 (40%) and 12 (60%) premolars in groups 1-5, respectively (groups 1, 2 > groups 4, 5; group 3 > group 4; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS When direct composite resin was used to restore root filled maxillary first premolar teeth involving a proximal surface, those restored with full-coverage designs had greater fracture resistance.

Abstract
This study was designed to explore the biological characteristics of a new oral streptococcus species Streptococcus oligofermentans. Plaque samples were collected from caries-free and caries-active subjects. S. oligofermentans was selectively grown on Mitis salivarius agar plates and identified by using 2-step PCR and was isolated from 38% of 18 subjects. Isolates were found mostly on healthy tooth surfaces. S. oligofermentans had weaker abilities in acid production and demineralizing hydroxyapatite. When Streptococcus mutans was coincubated with S. oligofermentans, total number, acid production and calcium release were significantly inhibited. In conclusion, inhibition of S. mutans could be a beneficial biological characteristic of S. oligofermentans in oral microecology.

Abstract
Human T-lymphotropic virus-I (HTLV-I) causes adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) and HTLV-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). We postulated a higher disease risk for people with common human leukocyte antigen (HLA) types, due to a narrower immune response against viral or neoplastic antigens, compared to people with uncommon types. HLA class-I (A,B) and class-II (DRB1, DQB1) allele and haplotype frequencies in 56 ATL patients, 59 HAM/TSP patients and 190 population-based, asymptomatic HTLV-I-infected carriers were compared by logistic regression overall (score test) and with odds ratios (ORs) for common types (prevalence >50% of asymptomatic carriers) and by prevalence quartile. HTLV-I proviral load between asymptomatic carriers with common versus uncommon types was compared by t-test. ATL differed from asymptomatic carriers in overall DQB1 allele and class-I haplotype frequencies (p </=</= 0.04). ATL risk was increased significantly with common HLA-B (OR 2.25, 95% CI 1.19-4.25) and DRB1 (OR 2.11, 95% CI 1.13-3.40) alleles. Higher prevalence HLA-B alleles were associated with higher ATL risk (OR 1.14 per quartile, p(trend) = 0.02). Asymptomatic carriers with common HLA-B alleles had marginally higher HTLV-I proviral load (p = 0.057). HAM/TSP risk did not differ consistently with common HLA types. Thus, ATL risk, but not HAM/TSP risk, was increased with higher prevalence HLA-B alleles. Perhaps breadth of cellular immunity affects risk of this viral leukemia/lymphoma.

Abstract
A total of 32 surface sediments collected from the Yangtze River Estuary, Hangzhou Bay and the Qiantang River were analyzed for polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). The concentrations of summation operatorPBDEs (sum of 12 PBDE congeners without BDE 209) and BDE 209 varied from n.d. to 0.55 and from 0.16 to 94.6 ng/g, respectively. The spatial variability of summation operatorPBDEs concentrations indicated that waste discharge from the urban areas might been the main source of PBDEs in the Yangtze River Delta. BDE 209 was the predominant congener (approximately 90-100%) detected among the 13 congeners, consistent with the fact that technical deca-BDE mixtures are presently the dominant technical PBDE mixtures used in China. Compared to published data acquired from other locales, PBDE congeners with less than four bromines were more abundant in the present study area. The hydrodynamic conditions may likely be a significant factor in dictating the observed levels and congener distribution patterns of PBDEs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the survival of glass ionomer cement (GIC) restorations placed in a dental clinic setting using both the atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) approach with hand instruments, and conventional cavity preparation with rotary instruments. METHOD AND MATERIALS Two encapsulated high-strength conventional GICs (Fuji IX GP, Ketac-Molar Aplicap) were placed in 82 Class I and 53 Class II preparations and one encapsulated non-gamma 2 amalgam alloy (GK-amalgam) was placed in 32 Class I preparations, in the primary molars of 60 Chinese children with a mean age of 7.40 +/- 1.24 (SD) years. Thus, 9 treatment groups were formed. RESULTS After two years, there were no significant survival differences found among 7 of the 9 treatment groups (p = 0.99). However, two groups comprising Fuji IX GP and Ketac-Molar Aplicap placed in Class II cavities prepared using the ART approach showed significantly lower restoration survivals (p < 0.001). Only 3 of the 72 initially sealed fissures adjacent to the restorations appeared to retain any GIC material. CONCLUSIONS In a clinic setting, both the ART hand instrument and conventional rotary instrument methods were equally suitable for high Class I restoration survival, but not for Class II restoration survival where the conventional cavity preparation method was preferable.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study mutans and non-mutans streptococci in patients after radiotherapy of the head and neck. METHODS Oral rinse samples collected from nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients before and after radiotherapy were diluted and cultured on nonselective and selective media for enumeration of total cultivable plaque flora, mutans and non-mutans streptococci and lactobacilli. Non-mutans streptococci were identified biochemically and by 16S rDNA sequence homology analysis. RESULTS After irradiation, mutans streptococci were not isolated; the levels of Streptococcus mitis and lactobacilli increased significantly. The level of Streptococcus salivarius increased, but the significance was the borderline. The level of Streptococcus sanguis decreased significantly after irradiation. The abundance of other oral streptococci species showed no significant changes. CONCLUSIONS S. mitis and S. salivarius are the predominant non-mutans streptococci in the high-caries-risk oral flora following radiotherapy.

Abstract
This study tests the hypothesis that caries activity is associated with lower degrees of saturation with respect to enamel mineral in dental plaque fluid following sucrose exposure. Plaque fluids were obtained from caries-free, caries-positive, and caries-active subjects. Samples were collected before and at 3 and 7 min after a sucrose rinse on consecutive weeks and analyzed for organic acids, inorganic ions, pH, calcium activity, and, in selected samples, total protein. After sucrose, pH values were significantly lower in the caries-active group in comparison with the caries-free and caries-positive groups. Total and free calcium concentrations increased with decreasing pH, with free calcium being about one-third of total calcium. The caries-active group exhibited significantly lower degrees of saturation with respect to enamel mineral, after sucrose, and had significantly higher mutans streptococci levels in plaque than did the caries-free samples. Thus, saturation levels in post-sucrose plaque fluids reflect the cariogenic potential of dental plaque.
