Chinese Journal of Medical Aesthetics and Cosmetology 2001;0(04):-
Objective To evaluate the long-dated therapeutic dfficacy of carbamide peroxide on tetracycline teeth. Methods 10 % carbamide peroxide was prepared as a bleaching solution for the treatment of tetracyclineteeth. 306 patients were treated with aspecial bleaching salver containing the solution for 7-10 h in aperiod of 10-30 d. The color changes of the teeth were observed. Follow-up data were obtained in 201 patients. Results Effective rate of bleaching was 86.6% in patients with tetracycline teeth. After following-up for 6 months in 201 patients, 14.6% of them returned to the original color of teeth, but there was still a high-rate of satisfaction after 1-2 years follow-up, in which 30 patients received repeated therapy every two years for 11 years with satisfactory results. Conclusion 10% carbamide peroxide in the treatment of tetracycline teeth is an effective method. The lighter in teeth color, the better the effect of bleaching. But the therapeutic efficacy is instable and a long-dated satisfaction can be obtained with repeated treatment.

AIM: To study the effects of taurine on ATP sensitive potassium channel (IK_~-ATP ) during hypoxia in single ventricular myocyte. METHODS: The model of myocardial hypoxia was induced by unmixed and saturated nitrogen. IK_~-ATP activities were measured by whole-cell patch clamp recording. RESULTS: Activities of IK_~-ATP in the cell membrane of hypoxia ventricular myocyte significantly increased, compared to that in the normal. Extracellular injection of taurine (5,10,20 mmol/L) inhibited the increase in the IK_~-ATP activity in the hypoxia myocardium in a concentration-depend manner. Injection of taurine also recovered shorten APD during hypoxia. CONCLUSIONS: Taurine produces its cardioprotective effect by inhibiting the activity of IK_~-ATP in the hypoxia cardiomycytes of guinea pig. The results suggest that the depletion of taurine during myocardial hypoxia contributes to the early activation of the K_~ATP channel. [

8. Mechanism of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells differentiation into functional neurons induced by glial cell line derived neurotrophic factor
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2020;25(7):1019-1025
BACKGROUND: Glial cell line derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) plays an important role in inducing the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in vitro and promoting the regeneration of neuron axons. OBJECTIVE: To observe BMSCs differentiation induced by over-expression of GDNF gene, detect synaptic function of cells and expression of Wnt signaling pathway components after differentiation, and preliminarily explore the mechanism of BMSCs differentiation into mature neurons. METHODS: Rat BMSCs were isolated and cultured, and further divided into recombinant adenovirus-containing GDNF gene transfection group (Ad-GDNF-BMSCs), adenovirus transfection control group (Ad-BMSCs), and untransfected control group. The relative expression of GDNF gene in BMSCs of each group was detected by Q-PCR, and the expression of β-catenin, cyclin D1, NeuN and MAP-2 was detected by immunofluorescence technology in each group. High K+ stimulation induced cell depolarization response after differentiation, and FM4-64 marks synaptic vesicle activity of differentiated cells. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The adenovirus-transfected gene had no significant negative effect on the proliferation of BMSCs. BMSCs could express endogenous GDNF gene continuously and at high levels. (2) Under the induction of GDNF gene, BMSCs could express neuron-specific protein NeuN after 3 days cultivation in vitro. The expression of β-catenin protein also could be detected in the cytoplasm of cells. After 7 days cultivation in vitro culture, BMSCs expressed the mature neuronal marker protein MAP-2, and the cell body contracted significantly. Neuron axon-like structures appeared around the cell body. Moreover, β-catenin and cyclin D1 were respectively detected in the cell cytoplasm and the nucleus, while the expression levels of NeuN, MAP-2, β-catenin, and cyclin D1 were not observed in Ad-BMSCs and untransfected control groups, and the cells remained spindle-shaped. (3) After 11 days of in vitro culture, the cells in the Ad-GDNF-BMSCs group showed typical neuronal processes or axons and connected to each other into a network structure, which could be labeled with FM4-64 to show red fluorescence, and induced by high K+ stimulation to induce action potentials in the cells. Synaptic vesicle activity in posterior axons showed FM4-64 red fluorescence gradually decaying. Under the same conditions, cells in the Ad-GDNF-BMSCs group and untransfected control group did not present FM4-64 fluorescently labeled synaptic vesicle activity. (4) Continuous GDNF induction can promote BMSCs differentiated into mature neurons with synaptic cycle function, and may be carried out through the classic Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
