Objective To discuss the relationship between FokI gene polymorphism and colorectal canc-er.Method The references that met the inclusive criteria were assessed .The extracted data were summarized in the form of tables .Data were analyzed by heterogeneity test .Meta-analysis was conducted by using fixed effects model or random effects model .Results Fifteen experimental studies were included in this study ,including 7, 859 colorectal cancer patients and 9,933 controls.The association between VDR gene FokI and colorectal cancer was expressed as the odds ratio(OR)and 95% confidence interval(CI).FokI recessive genetic model,ff versus FF+Ff,ORrecessive=1.01(95% CI=0.87~1.17,I2 =54%,P=0.91),ORdominant =0.94(95% CI=0.83~1.06,I2 =64%,P=0.30);allele model,fversus F,OR=0.98(95% CI=0.89~1.08,I2 =71%,P=0.72).In subgroup analysis,recessive genetic model,ORCaucasian race =0.95(95% CI=0.86~1.05,I2 =0%,P=0.33);ORyellow race=1.12(95%CI=0.77~1.63,I2 =72%,P=0.54).In subgroup analysis,dom-inant gene model,ORCaucasian race =0.95(95% CI=0.86~1.04,I2 =27%,P=0.29);ORyellow race =0.89(95%CI=0.65~1.22,I2 =78%,P=0.47).In subgroup analysis,allele model,ORCaucasian race=0.97 (95%CI=0.90~1.04,I2 =31%,P=0.38);ORyellow race =1(95% CI =0.79 ~1.27,I2 =82%,P=1.00).Conclusion Our results suggested that in VDR gene FokI ,F and f alleles were not obviously directly correlated with colorectal cancer .No difference was found between Asian and Caucasian .The conclusions in other populations should be further identified by extensive experimental studies .

There was almost one hundred years since surgical stapler invention to now. Using stapler (stitching instrument) in surgery has many advantages, such as stitching fast, easy to operating, few side effects and complications. It makes tumor excision surgery can’t be cut focus in past possible and improving the curative effect of the surgery. Surgical staplers also give difficult surgery and new technology strong supports. In the last ten years, for cheap price and rapid development of the technology level, domestic staplers’ market share is increasing year by year and breaking the foreign monopoly product. In open surgery, domestic stapler has progressively more than foreign brands. In endoscopy surgery, domestic staplers also have a place. In current, surgical staplers are used more and more popular in the domestic tertiary medical institutions and becoming indispensable tools in many surgeries. Surgical staplers (stitching instrument) are broadly used in esophageal reconstruction, gastrointestinal tract reconstruction, endoscopic surgery in pulmonary bulla resection, uterus resection, pancreas resection, duodenum resection

Objective: To study the effect of zinc supplement on bone-contacting implant surface ratio (BCSR).Methods: 40 rabbits with titanium implants placed into the proximal tibial heads were divided randomly into zinc supplement group(n=20) and control group(n=20). 1% zinc sulfate in 0.9% saline was administered intramuscularly at the dose of 4 mg/(kg?d) for each tested animal, and the same amount of 0.9% saline was used for the controls. The animals were sacrificed 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks after treatment respectively.BCSR,bone zinc content and serum Cu/Zn values were measured with morphometry, atomic absorption photometry and atomic nebulizntion absorption method respectively.Results: Zinc supplement could significantly increase the BCSR value (P0.05). Conclusion: Moderate zinc supplement may increase the bone-contacting implant surface ratio, but not alter the zinc metabolism.

AIM: To evaluate its pharmacodynamic effects of zhi-chuan-ling (ZCL) oral liquor, a traditional Chinese medicinal prescription, on asthma. METHODS: Asthma models of guinea pigs were established by aerosol inhalation of mixed solution of histamine and acetylcholine for the observation of effects of ZCL on the latent period of asthma attack. Some other indices were also investigated including the contraction of smooth muscle strips isolated from the trachea or intestinum ileum, and variations of the tracheal volume and the bronchotracheal perfusion in guinea pigs. RESULTS: ZCL elongated the latent period of asthma attack induced by areol inhalation of mixed solution of histamine and acetylcholine, antagonized activities against the contraction of the trachea and intestinum ileum induced by histamine or acetlcholine, and increased the tracheal volume and the bronchotracheal perfusion in ginea pigs in vitro. CONCLUTION: ZCL can reduce airway hyperresponsibility, relax bronchospasm, remit ventilation disturbance, and improve ventilatory function by its biologic activities against acetlcholin and histamine.

AIM: To evaluate the effect of luteolin on ulcerative colitis in experimental animals. METHODS: The mouse model of acute colitis was induced by instillation of dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) /alcohol. Luteolin (1, 10 and 50 mg?kg~(-1)) were orally administrated to mice for 3 days. Diarrheas, colon weight index, macroscopic damage in the colon were observed and the activity of MPO and the content of PGE_2 in colon were also examined. RESULTS: The diarrhea and the colon weight in- dex were reduced and the macroscopic damage in the inflammatory colon was effectively attenuated by luteolin. The elevated level of MPO and PGE2 were also significantly decreased. CONCLUSION: Luteolin can effectively inhibit the inflammatory infiltration, bleeding and proliferation in experimental ulcerative colitis.

AIM: To evaluate effects of rutecarpine on the movements of gastrointestinal tract in experimental animals. METHODS: In mice, the accelerated movement model of intestinal transit was induced by neostigmine, and metoclopramide or apoplon was applied to induce the accelerated gastric emptying movements. Acetylcholine or histamine was used to induce the contractions occurring in the isolated ileum from guinea pigs. RESULTS: Rutecarpine inhibited normal intestinal transit and demonstrated more effective suppression on the accelerated movement induced by neostigmine in mice; meto- clopramide and apoplon induced-accelerated gastric emptying movements were also significantly inhibited by rutecarpine in a dose-dependent manner. Meanwhile rutecarpine significantly inhibited the isolated ileum contractions induced by acetylcholine or histamine. CONCLUSION: Rutecarpine is an effective inhibitor to intestinal motility and this activity is probably mediated by its antagonistic effects on the cholinergic nerve or its responsible modulations.

Objective: To prepare human cementum extract and to assess its protein content. Methods: Human permanent teeth were collected from the oral surgery clinic. Cementum was obtained from freshly extracted healthy teeth without inflammation.Connective tissue adhereing to the root surfaces was removed, and cementum was harvested with a curette. Then the cementum was treated by CH 3COOH and guanidine respectively to obtain two extracts. Protein content was assessed by sodium dodecyl sulphate ( SDS) polyacrylamide electrophoresis. Results: Extract obtained from CH 3COOH treatment consisted of two kind of proteins ( M r 55 000 and M r 68 000); that of guanidine consisted of four kind of proteins ( M r 62 000, M r 60 000 , M r 5 5000 and M r 41 000).Conclusion: The methods used is an applicable way to prepare cememtum extracts.

objective: To produce titanium dioxide hydrogel layer on the pure rough titanium(Ti) surface. Methods: Pure Ti discs( d =15mm) were polished to 600 grind, sandblasted and etched with acid, socked in 60 ℃ 5 mol/L NaOH solution for 24 h and then heated to 600℃ for an hour to get goughening, alkaline and heat treated Ti(RAH). The smooth, rough and RAH surfaces were analyzed with scanning electron microscope(SEM) and energy despersive X ray analysis(EDXA). Results: On smooth surfaces only regular polished grooves could be seen, while holes in different diameters formed on rough surfaces. A porous framework was found on the surfaces of the RAH observed by SEM. EDXA showed that the smooth and rough surfaces were consisted of 100% Ti, while there were a lot ofoxygen and sodium in RAH discs. Apatite formed on the RAH Ti surfaces when it is soaked in simulated body fluid for two weeks. Conclusion: A porous Ti dioxide hydrogel layer forms on the rough titanium substrate during alkaline and heat treatment.
