Objective

To discuss the demand and security of tooth extraction under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation for the special needs patients.

Methods

From January 2014 to December 2015, the cases of tooth extraction under general anesthesia were collected to analyse the demand and security of tooth extraction with general anesthesia.

Results

54 patients were recruited in the study in which 11 were with serious limitation of mouth opening, 10 were with serious cardiovascular disease risk, 2 were with history of epilepsy, 13 were with serious dental phobia, and 18 were incoordination patients. All the operations were performed successfully and safely, and all the scores of post anesthetic discharge scoring system exceeded 9 points. No developed complications were showed in 1 day, 1 week, 1 month follow-up.

Conclusion

Tooth extraction under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation is a safe way for special needs patients.

Objective

To study the difference of LncRNA expression profiles between tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) and the corresponding adjacent normal tissue. To explore the role of long non-coding RNA in gene regulation.

Methods

One fresh sample of TSCC tissue and the adjacent normal tongue tissue were selected. After extracting the total RNA, the LncRNA from different tissues was screened and compared by Ion Torrent RNA-Seq. Pick LncRNA read sequence by the method used Bowtie2, then calculate the reads per kilo bases per million reads, RPKM of LncRNA by the method then Cufflinks. Choose the RPKM ratio of LncRNA from Cancer and adjacent tissue as a candidate target.

Results

According to RNA-Seq, 52 LncRNA whose value of RPKM with a fold > 10 or < 0.1 compared to the adjacent normal tongue tissue was enrolled in this study, of which 28 was up-regulated expression, 24 was down-regulated expression.

Conclusion

LncRNA expression profiles may be an important potential targets in TSCC.
