Objective: To investigate the relationship between the degree of displacement of centric relation-maximum intercuspation (CR-MI) and temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) in Class II patients.
Methods: The questionnaire and clinical examination were administered in 107 Class II patients and students, using the Helkimo index (Di and Ai). The differences in condylar position between CR and MI in all three spatial planes were measured using the Condyle Position Indication (CPI).
Results: Di positively correlated with degree of CR-MI displacement in all five displacement (P < 0.05), while Ai positively correlated with degree of CR-MI displacement except horizontal displacement. Di and Ai significantly correlated with degree of CR-MI discrepancy in all five displacement (P < 0.05); With the increasing of Di and Ai rank, the degree of CR-MI displacement and CR-MI discrepancy increased. Also, symptoms of TMD were significantly correlated with the degree of CR-MI displacement and CR-MI discrepancy except horizontal displacement (P < 0.05). Severer CR-MI displacement and CR-MI discrepancy were observed in patients who had TMD symptoms.
Conclusion: In Class II patients, degree of CR-MI displacement is an important factor of TMD, and correlated with the severity of TMD.

Caloric restriction (CR) is a novel dietary therapy that has a protective effect on myocardial ischemia. However, the mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effect of CR remain unclear. Transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) are a novel type of short non-coding RNAs that have potential regulatory functions in various physiological and pathological processes.

A 1H MRS study of probable Alzheimer's disease and normal aging: implications for longitudinal monitoring of dementia progression.

In order to evaluate the capability of 1H MRS to monitor longitudinal changes in subjects with probable Alzheimer's disease (AD), the temporal stability of the metabolite measures N-acetylaspartate and N-acetylaspartylglutamate (NA), total Creatine (Cr), myo-Inositol (mI), total Choline (Chol), NA/Cr, mI/Cr, Chol/Cr and NA/mI were investigated in a cohort of normal older adults. Only the metabolite measures NA, mI, Cr, NA/Cr, mI/Cr, and NA/mI were found to be stable after a mean interval of 260 days. Relative and absolute metabolite measures from a cohort of patients with probable AD were subsequently compared with data from a sample of normal older adult control subjects, and correlated with mental status and the degree of atrophy in the localized voxel.
