Objective; To study estrogen receptor gene Xbal and Pvu Ⅱ polymorphisms in patients with aggressive periodontitis (AgP). Methods; Xbal and Pvu Ⅱ DNA was extracted by Chelex-100 and amplified by PCR from buccal swabs of 48 cases of AgP patients and 60 normal controls. The PCR products were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction linked fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay. Results: There were significant differences of the distribution of Xba I genotype between AgP group and control group, female AgP group and female control group, male AgP group and male control group(P<0.05). There was no difference of Pvu D genotype distribution between patient group and control group (P>0.05). Multivariate Logistic Regression Analysis showed that male group was less susceptible to AgP than female group(OR =0. 352), the older was less susceptible to AgP than the younger(OR =0.950), and the xxXx genotype was less susceptible to AgP than XX genotype [OR(Xx) =0.224, OR(xx) = 0.678). Conclusion: Specific relationship is found between the susceptibility of AgP and the ER gene-Xbal polymorphism. People with XX genotype is more susceptive to AgP than xx, Xx genotypes.

Objective To explore the effect of comprehensive rehabilitation combined with self- efficacy training on hemiplegics after stroke. Methods 60 ischemic stroke patients following hemiplegia were divided into three groups: control group 1 (n=20), control group 2 (n=20), and experiment group (n=20). All the patients received routine rehabilitation, the control group 2 received tasks analysis approach,and the experiment group received tasks analysis approach and self-efficacy training. All the patients were evaluated by Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Self- rating Depression Scale (SDS), Self- rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), modified Barthel Index (MBI) and General Self-efficacy Scale (GSES) before and 8 weeks after treatment. Results The scores of FMA, BBS, SDS, SAS, MBI and GSES improved significantly in the experiment group than in the control group 1 and the control group 2 after treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion Comprehensive rehabilitation combined with self-efficacy training can improve the ability of mood and motion, and the activities of daily living of ischemic stroke patient with hemiplegia.

An ultrasensitive immunoassay was developed based on As3+ and Hg2+ labeled SiO2 @ Au nanoparticles signal tags and hydride generation-atomic fluorescence spectrometry (HG-AFS) for the detection of carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) respectively. Firstly, amino SiO2@ Au NPs were synthesized for selective absorption of As3+ and Hg2+ ions respectively. Subsequently,the secondary antibody (Ab2) of CEA and CA 19-9 was respectively labeled on As3+ or Hg2+-SiO2 @ Au NPs to prepare the corresponding signal tags for CEA and CA 19-9. Based on the sandwich immunoassay scheme, the tags, two antigen and corresponding first antibodies were bio-conjugated on the bottom of 96-well plate at room temperature to form the immunocomplex. After it was dissolved in alkali solution, As3+ and Hg2+ ions were released in solution and detected by HG-AFS, which concentration was proportional with logarithms of CEA and CA 19-9. The reaction conditions were optimized and the tags were characterized. This assay was based on determination of the concentration of As3+ and Hg2+ for quantization of the corresponding CEA and CA 19-9 antigen. The assay showed a wide linear range from 0. 001 to 100. 0 μg / L for CEA and 0. 01-80 U/ mL for CA 19-9, and a lower detection limit of 0. 5 ng / L and 0. 005 U/ mL respectively. This proposed method was used in real serums samples, the results were consistence with that by ELISA. The immunoassay showed three orders of magnitude of sensitivity lower than that of ELISA, which provides a promising simultaneous immunoassay for the early diagnosis of cancer .

Objective To evaluate the effects of morphine preconditioning on the expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) during hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) in isolated cardiomyocytes in rats with heart failure.Methods Healthy adult male Sprague Dawley rats,w eighing 200-220 g,were used in this study.Adriamycin 2.0 mg/kg was injected once a week for 6 weeks via the tail vein to induce heart failure.The cardiomyocytes were isolated from the failing hearts of rats and seeded in 24-well plates or in 60 mm diameter dishes.The cells were then randomly divided into 3 groups (n =16 each) using a random number table:control group (group C); group H/R;morphine preconditioning group (group MP).The cells were cultured in normal culture atmosphere in group C.After being exposed to hypoxic air (5％ CO2-95％ N2) for 90 min,the cells were returned to the high-glucose DMEM supplemented with 10％ newborn bovine serum and were then cultured for 120 min in H/R and MP groups.In group M,the cells were cultured in morphine culture medium (final concentration of morphine 0.3 μmol/L) for 10 min and then were returned to the culture medium without morphine and cultured for 30 min immediately before hypoxia.At 120 min of reoxygenation,the cells of 8 wells in each group were chosen to detect the cell viability and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity (by Typan blue staining).All the RNAs were extracted from the cardiomyocytes of the left 8 wells in each group and subjected to miRNA microarray to screen differentially expressed miRNAs.Results The cell viability was significantly lower,the activity of LDH was higher,the expression of miR-6216 and let7e-5p was higher,and the expression of miR-133b-5p was lower in H/R and MP groups than in group C (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with H/R group,the cell viability was significantly increased,the activity of LDH was decreased,the expression of miR-133b-5p was up-regulated,and the expression of miR-6216 and let-7e-5p was down-regulated in MP group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Morphine preconditioning reduces H/R injury to isolated cardiomyocytes in rats with heart failure through regulating the expression of miRNAs such as miR133b-5p,miR-6216 and let-7e-5p.

Objective To evaluate the role of opioid receptors and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/proteinserine-threonine kinases (PI3K/Akt) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathways in reduction of hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced injury to cardiomyocytes by remifentanil preconditioning in rats.Methods Primary cardiomyocytes were obtained from adult male Sprague-Dawley rats and cultured in DMEM culture medium.The cells were seeded in 48-well plates (density 2 × 104 cells/ml,500 μl/well) and randomly divided into 12 groups (n =9 each):control group (group C),group H/R,hypoxia preconditioning group (group HPC),remifentanil preconditioning (RPC) group,naltrindole (δ receptor antagonist) + RPC group,nor-binaltorphimine (κ receptor antagonist) + RPC group (BNI + RPC group),wortmannin (PI3K inhibitor) + RPC group (W+ RPC group),PD98059 (ERK inhibitor) + RPC group (PD + RPC group),NTD group,BNI group,W group and PD group.In group H/R,the cardiomyocytes were exposed to 90 min of hypoxia,followed by 120 min of reoxygenation.In group HPC,the cardiomyocytes were exposed to 10 min of hypoxia,followed by 30 min of reoxygenation before H/R.In group RPC,the cardiomyocytes were preconditioned with remifentanil with the final concentration of 1 μmol/L for 10 min,followed by 30 min routine culture before H/R.In NTD + RPC,BNI + RPC,W + RPC and PD + RPC groups,naltrindole 5μmol/L (final concentration),nor-binaltorphimine 5 μmol/L (final concentration),wortmannin 0.1 μmol/L (final concentration) and PD98059 30μmol/L (final concentration)were added,respectively,and then the cells were coincubated with remifentanil for 10 min,followed by 30 min routine culture before H/R.The viability of cardiomyocytes,cell apoptosis and activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the culture medium were detected.The apoptosis rate (AR) was calculated.Results Compared with group C,the viability of cardiomyocytes,AR and activity of LDH in the culture medium were significantly increased in group H/R (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group H/R,the viability of cardiomyocytes,AR and activity of LDH in the culture medium were significantly decreased in HPC,RPC and BNI + RPC groups (P ＜ 0.05),and no significant changes were found in the parameters mentioned above in NTD + RPC,W + RPC,PD + RPC,NTD,BNI,W,and PD groups (P ＞ 0.05).The viability of cardiomyocytes was significantly lower,and the AR and activity of LDH in the culture medium were higher in NTD + RPC,BNI + RPC,W + RPC,and PD + RPC groups than in RPC group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Remifentanil preconditioning activates PI3K/Akt and ERK signaling pathways possibly through activating δ opioid receptors thus attenuating H/R-induced injury to cardiomyocytes in rats.

A 70-year-old female patient presented with several cutaneous masses on the left neck and trunk for 40 years. Some masses were removed by surgical operation more than 10 years prior to the presentation, but recurred subsequently along with an increase in lesion number. Persistent dull pain emerged at the lesion sites 2 months prior to the presentation and the masses on the left neck ulcerated 10 days prior to the presentation. Histopathology showed tumor cell clumps in the dermis with benign eccrine spiradenoma components in the centre region and carcinomatous components in the periphery. The carcinomatous components included slightly atypical cells and hyaline degeneration. Immunohistochemically, carcinoembryonic antigen and epithelial membrane antigen were observed in the tumor tissues. The case was diagnosed as eccrine spiradenocarcinoma. The masses were surgically removed, but recurred 1 month later, increased in size and number and ulcerated 3 months later, and the patient died 6 months after the surgery.

Objective To evaluate the roles of 1-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathways in reduction of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury to the isolated hearts by morphine preconditioning in the rats with chronic heart failure.Methods Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 200-230 g,in which doxorubicin 2.0 mg/kg was injected via the tail vein once a week for 6 weeks to induce chronic heart failure,were studied.At the end of 8th week,42 rats with chronic heart failure were randomly divided into 7 groups (n =6 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),I/R group,morphine preconditioning group (group MP),PD98059 (ERK inhibitor) + morphine preconditioning group (group PD + MP),wortmannin (PI3K inhibitor) + morphine preconditioning group (group WT + MP),PD98059 group (group PD) and wortmannin group (group WT).The hearts were quickly excised and passively perfused in a Langendorff apparatus and subjected to 30 min of occlusion of the left coronary artery followed by 2 h of reperfusion to establish the model of I/R injury.In group S,the hearts were only sutured,but not ligated and were continuously perfused with K-H solution for 195 min.In group I/R,the hearts were perfused with K-H solution for 45 min before ischemia.In group MP,the hearts were perfused with K-H solution for 15 min,with K-H solution containing morphine 1 μmol/L for 5 min and then with K-H solution for 5 min (3 cycles in total) before ischemia.In PD + MP and WT + MP groups,the hearts were perfused with K-H solution containing PD98059 (10 μmol/L) and wortmannin (100 nmol/L),respectively,starting from 10 min before morphine preconditioning until 5 min of ischemia.In PD and WT groups,the hearts were perfused with K-H solution containing PD98059 (10 μmol/L) and wortmannin (100 nmol/L),respectively,starting from 40 min before ischemia until 5 rin of ischemia.At 15 min of equilibration (baseline) and 5 and 10 min of reperfusion,the coronary flow was collected to detect the activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH).Infarct size (IS) and area at risk (AAR) were measured at the end of reperfusion and IS/AAR ratio was calculated.Results Compared with group S,LDH activity was significantly increased at 5 and 10 min of reperfusion,IS and IS/AAR ratio were also increased (P ＜ 0.05),and no significant change was found in AAR in group I/R (P ＞ 0.05).Compared with group I/R,LDH activity was significantly decreased at 5 min of reperfusion,IS and IS/AAR ratio were also decreased (P ＜ 0.05),and no significant change was found in AAR in group MP,and no significant change was found in LDH activity,IS,AAR and IS/AAR ratio in WT and PD groups (P ＞ 0.05).Compared with group MP,LDH activity was significantly increased at 5 and 10 min of reperfusion (P ＜ 0.05),and IS and IS/AAR ratio were decreased in group PD + MP,and no significant change was found in LDH activity,IS,AAR and IS/AAR ratio in group WT + MP (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Activation of ERK signaling pathway is involved in reduction of I/R injury to isolated hearts by morphine preconditioning in rats with chronic heart failure,however,PI3K signaling pathway has no such effect.

Aim To investigate the roles of mitogen-ac-tivated protein kinases ( MAPK ) pathways in the pro-tective effects of remifentanil preconditioning against is-chemia/reperfusion injury of isolated heart in rats with heart failure. Methods Adult male SD rats were injected with adriamycin via tail vein for 6 weeks to induce heart failure. The rats were confirmed chronic heart failure through echocardiography and randomly divided into 9 groups(n=6)as follows: sham group, ischemia/reperfusion group ( IR) , remifentanil precon-ditioning group( RPC) , ERK inhibitor PD98059+RPC group ( RPD ) , p38 inhibitor SB203580 +RPC group ( RSB ) , JNK inhibitor SP600125 + RPC group ( RSP ) , and the inhibitor control groups ( PD , SB and SP) . All hearts were linked to the Langendorff ap-paratus. The coronary effluent was collected to detect the activity of lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH ) at base-line, 5 min and 10 min after reperfusion, respectively. Infarct size ( IS) and area at risk ( AAR) were deter-mined by 2, 3, 5-triphenyl-tetrazolium (TTC) staining at the end of reperfusion. Left ventricular developed pressure ( LVDP), ± dp/dtmax and heart rate ( HR) were recorded to evaluate cardiac function in each group. Results When compared with IR group, RPC significantly reduced IS / AAR and decreased the ac-tivity of LDH at 5 min and 10 min after reperfusion. However, SP600125 almost thoroughly abolished the protective effects of RPC, as evidenced by the in-creased value of IS / AAR and the high activity of LDH. In addition, PD98059 also partly blocked the effects of RPC, while SB203580 showed no influence on RPC. Meanwhile, the hemodynamic parameters such as LVDP, HR and ± dp/dtmax were not signifi-cantly different in any group except sham group. Con-clusion JNK and ERK pathways may play an impor-tant role in cardioprotective effects of remifentanil pre-conditioning against ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats with heart failure.
