目的探讨正畸施力时间对雌性大鼠动情周期的影响。方法200只雌性大鼠均分为对照组、加力1次组、加力4次组、假处理1次组和假处理4次组。各组均分为4个亚组，在动情周期不同时段进行相应处理。测定雌激素含量，记录动情周期变化。结果在同一动情周期时段加力的各亚组之间，雌激素测量值的差异有统计学意义（P〈0．01）；在同一处理方式下各亚组之间，雌激素测量值的差异也有统计学意义（P〈0．05）。结论加力对动情后期和间期加力组大鼠的动情周期有影响。选择在动情期戴入矫治装置及加力，可减少加力对雌性大鼠的不利影响。

英文摘要：

Objective To explore the influences of orthodontic tooth movement on estrous cycle and estrogen in female rats. Methods Two hundred female rats were divided into control group, one-time activation group, four-time activation group and sham-operated group. Each group was divided again into 4 sub-groups according to the different stage of the estrous cycle. The force-loading groups received repeated intermittent force. Serum estrogen was measured and the change of estrous cycle was recorded. Results There were significant variations in the estrogen level among the groups which received mechanical force during the same stage of the estrous cycle （P 〈 0.01） and among the subgroups within each group （P 〈 0.05）. These experimental treatments affected the estrous cycle of the rats in the groups received force in metestrus and diestrus. Conclusions Estrus of rats was the appropriate time for the orthodontic force.
