砄bjective: To study the rule of the degradation of HA artificial bone(HAB). Methods: The samples of HAB were immersed in PBS or distilled water (DW),the changes of the shape, weight, compressive strength of the samples and pH value of the immersion solutions were measred at the intervals of 2 or 4 weeks until 28 weeks. Results: At 4 weeks, HAB began to be degraded, 8 weeks later, the speed of the degradation slowed down. From 4 to 12 weeks, the compressive strength decreased rapidly. The pH value of the immersion solutions decreased from 2 to 12 weeks,but increased from 12 to 28 weeks when it was close to the neutral value. Conclusion: HA artificial bone can be degraded in PBS solution, and the degradation can cause noticeable changes of the compressive strength of the material and pH value of the immersion solution.

Objective To investigate the effect of 17?-Estradiol(E 2)on the proliferation cycle of human mucoepidermoid carcinoma Mc3 cells. Methods Mc3 cells were processed with various concentrations of E 2 for various durations. Then, cell proliferation and cell cycle distribution were examined by MTT assay and flow cytometry; CyclinD1 and P27 Kip1 expressions were assessed with immunohistochemistry. Results After being exposed to E 2 in concentrations of 10 -9,10 -8 or 10 -7mol/L for 5 days, the proliferation of the Mc3 cells was enhanced by 29%,54% and 59% respectively, CyclinD1 expression was increased by 16%,19% and 24%, And P27 Kip1 expression was decreased by 33%,30% and 55%, respectively. Compared with the control group, the number of cells in S phase increased by 11.3%,6.6% and 46.7% after the Mc3 cells were exposed to E 2 in the concentration of 10 -7mol/L for 12h,18h or 24h, and the proliferation index(PI) was also increased by 6.0%,3.6% and 205.0% respectively. Conclusion Physiological concentration of E 2 may promote Mc3 proliferation by increasing the expression of CyclinD1 and decreasing the expression of P27 Kip1, thereby stimulate the growth and development of the tumor.

7;there were 32 b ands in tumor group. ③SDS PAGE showed that the number of protein bands with relative molecular mass of 77 000,50 000-52 000,38 000-30 000 increased in the tumour group. Conclusion: In the saliva of periodontitis indivauals there are more basic proteins,the relative molecular mass of the prot ein in the saliva of patients with tumor is different from that of health contro ls.

Objeact:To evaluate the effects of the exogenous PTEN gene on morphology of the highly metastatic mucoepidermoid carcinoma cell line M3SP2. Methods: Morphological observation of vehicle transfected M3SP2-pBp cells and PTEN transfected M3SP2-PTEN cells was performed with inverted microscope, HE staining and optical microscope, scanning electronic microscope and transmisson electronic microscope. Results: Compared with the control cells of M3SP2-pBp, the exogenous PTEN expressing cells M3SP2-PTEN showed morphological changes, such as vacuole denaturalization, shrinkage, less microvillus, chondriosome swelling, lysosome amalgamation, and chromatin agglutination. Conclusion: The exogenous PTEN gene may induce denaturalization, necrosis, and apoptosis of the highly metastatic mucoepidermoid carcinoma cells.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigatc the effects of the HAB/DBP composite in the restoration of restoring bone defects. Methods: The HAB/DBP composiite, HAB or DMB samples were grafted into the defects of rabbit's radii respectively and the samples were examined 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks after operation with general, radiological and histological observations respectively.Results: In the group of HAB/DBP composssite implanted area , mesenchymal cells and new bone stromas were observed assembling 2 weeks after the operation. New bone formation and bone trabeculation were found 4 weeks after transplantation. A lot of bone trabeculation and composite degrad ation were observed 8 weeks after operation. The defects were completely restored 12 weeks after the surgery.Conclusion: The HAB/DBP composite has the properties of osteoconduction and osteoinduction, and its osteogenic ability is similar to that of DMB.

Objective:To study the effects of 17 beta-estradiol (E2) on the proliferation and metastasis potential of salivary gland mucoepidermoid carcinoma M_3SP_4 cells. Methods:The effects of E2 on the potential of proliferation and metastasis of M_3SP_4 cells were investigated by cell counting, MTT assay, clonegenetic assay, in vivo tumour growth and metastasis assay in nude mice.The expression of VEGF,c-erbB-2,Ki-67 and P16 in M_3SP_4 cells was examined by immunohistochemistry assay. Results:E2 increased the proliferation of M_3SP_4 cells at 10~-10-10~-5 mol/L. E2 at 10~-7 mol/L showed the strongest effects.After treatment with E2 at 10~-7 mol/L,the population doubling time of M_3SP_4 cells decreased by 10.8%,clonegenecity increased by 225%, VEGF,c-erbB-2 and Ki-67 expression increased,P16 decreased.In the in vivo assay,the tumour growth increased by 65% and metastasis increased by 609% in nude mice treated with E2 at 0.005 2 mg/d. Conclusion:E2 may stimulate the proliferation and metastasis potential of M_3SP_4 cells.

Objective:To establish a culture method of human salivary gland epithelial cells and to study their growth characteristics in vitro.Methods:Tissue explant technic was employed to culture human salivary gland epithelial cells in serum free medium (SFM),1∶1 DMEM/F12 and 1∶1 DMEM/F12 containing 25 ml/L fetal boven serum (FBS) respectively.The morphology of the cultured cells was observed by phase contract microscope.The cell growth was studied by cell counting.The cells were identified by HE staining,PAS staining and SP staining.Results:Growth of human salivary gland epithelial cells was observed in primary culture in the three kinds of medium in all 10 cases. The cultured cells were epidermoid, positive for cytokeratin, negative for Vimentin and positive for PAS staining. The cells in SFM could be subcultured for five passages,while only for one passage in the other two kinds of medium.Conclusion:SFM is superior to serum free 1∶1 DMEM/F12 or 1∶1 DMEM/F12 containing 25 ml/L FBS for the culture of human salivary gland epithelial cells.
