Objective To investigate sequential expression of bone sialoprotein(BSP), alkaline phosphatase(ALP) and cementum attachment protein(CAP) in cementoblast(CB) during mineralized culture in vitro, and study the morphological and biologic characters of the CB in this process. Methods CB was seeded on the glass coverslips, and cultured for 6h, 12h, 1d, 2d, 3d, 4d, 5d, 6d, 8d, 10d, 12d and 16d, respectively. The expression of BSP, ALP and CAP proteins was detected using immunocytochemical method. Results 6 hours after plated, cementoblast expressed all of the three proteins. In the second and third days after plated, the cells became confluent and formed multiple layers, BSP and ALP expression decreased, and CAP did not be expressed at all. From the forth day, the cells formed cell nodules with mineralizing function. The cells in the nodules strongly expressed BSP,ALP and CAP, the cells around the nodule weakly expressed BSP and ALP, and did not express ALP. During the following 10 to 16 days, the cell nodules became mineralized nodules. Conclusion These results elucidated the changes of ALP, BSP and CAP expression as well as cell morphology during the CB proliferation, differentiation and mineralization in vitro, and provided some valuable information for studying the formation of cementum and CB proliferation, differentiation and mineralization in vivo.

Objective To study the ultrastrueture of 3 types of periodontal cells, including periodontal ligament cells (PDLC), os-teoblast cells (OB) and eementoblast cells (CB). Methods After culturing 3 kinds of periodontal cells - PDLC, OB and CB, we observed them with transmission electron microscope. Results There was rich rough endoplasmic reticulum and lots of microfilaments in the cyto-plasm of CB and PDLC cells. There was rich rough endoplasmic in the cytoplasm of OB cells. Conclusion The main characteristic ultra-structure feature of the bovine CB and PDLC was rich rough endoplasmic reticulum and microfilaments in the cytoplasm. Compared with CB and PDLC, OB contained fewer microfilaments in the cytoplasm.

Objective To analyze the laboratory determination results of hand-foot-mouth disease(HFMD)and explore its sig-nificance.Methods Pharyngeal swab specimens were collected from 502 children with HFMD(severe case:104 cases and mild case:398 cases).Specific RNA of enterovirus primer(EV),enterovirus71 (EV71)and coxsackievirus A16(CA16)were detected by real-time fluorescence polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Simultaneously,white blood cell (WBC),direct bilirubin(DBIL),alanine transarninase(ALT),creatine kinase MB isoenzyme(CK-MB)and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH )were determined,and the results were analyzed.Results Among the 502 children,384 cases were positive for EV,262 cases were positive for EV71,and 39 cases were positive for CA16.The positive rates were 76.49%,52.19% and 7.76%,respectively.In the 104 HFMD severe cases,EV71 positive rate was 92.31%(96/104).There were clearly more boys than girls.The age distribution was mainly in the group under 3-year-old(402 cases,80.08%).In the group under 3-year-old,there were 97 severe cases(93.27%),and the EV71 positive rate was 92.78%(90/97).Serum levels of WBC,DBIL,ALT,CK-MB and LDH were higher in severe HFMD group than in mild group(P <0.05).Conclusion The HFMD occurred mostly at the children under 3-year-old.The HFMD appeared is mainly related to the EV infection,and EV71 is the main pathogen causing the severe cases of HFMD.

Objective To investigate the expression of nucleolar spindle-associated protein 1(NuSAP1) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and in non-cancerous tissues,and to study the correlation between NuSAP1 and early recurrence and prognosis of HCC.Methods The expression of NuSAP1 in 61 cases of HCC and non-cancerous tissues were assessed by RT-PCR,quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry.The relationship between the expression and the clinicopathological features was studied.Results The levels of mRNA and protein in HCC were higher than the non-cancerous tissues (P＜0.05).On univariate analysis,the expression levels of NuSAP1,mRNA and protein in HCC were significantly associated with TNM classification,lymphatic metastasis,early recurrence,tumor thrombosis and histological differentiation (P＜0.05).Multivariate analysis showed early recurrence was associated with the expression of NuSAP1 protein in HCC (P＜0.05).Overexpression of NuSAP1 protein was correlated with poor outcome of the patients with HCC (x2=15.846,P＜0.001).Conclusions NuSAP1 was overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma.Overexpression of NuSAP1 was associated with early postoperative HCC recurrence and bad prognosis.

Objective To assess the effect of silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 6 (SIRT6) on migratory and proliferative activity of skin fibroblasts in the elderly,and to explore their mechanisms.Methods Circumcised foreskins were obtained from patients of different ages in Department of Urologic Surgery,Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University,including 8 elderly patients and 8 young patients.Human skin fibroblasts were isolated from the foreskin tissues by using a collagenase digestion method.Western blot analysis was performed to determine the expression of SIRT6 and phosphorylated p65 (p-p65) in human skin fibroblasts in different age groups,scratch assay to evaluate cell migratory activity,and cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay to assess cellular proliferative activity.Skin fibroblasts in the elderly group were divided into 2 groups:SIRT6 group transfected with a lentiviral vector overexpressing SIRT6,and control group transfected with an empty lentiviral vector.Then,the cell migratory and proliferative activity as well as p-p65 expression were measured by the above methods,and the mRNA expression of type Ⅰ and Ⅲ collagens,and integrin subunits α3,α5 and β1 was determined by real-time PCR in the SIRT6 group and control group.Statistical analysis was carried out with GraphPad Prism 5 software by using t test for comparison between 2 groups.Results Compared with the young group,the elderly group showed significantly decreased SIRT6 expression in skin fibroblasts (0.434 ±0.179 vs.1.000 ± 0.067,t =3.040,P =0.012),migration rate (43.81％ ± 18.84％ vs.94.63％ ± 12.32％,t =5.903,P =0.003)and cellular proliferative activity at 24 and 48 hours (both P ＜ 0.05),but significantly increased p-p65 expression (1.694 ± 0.148 vs.1.000 ± 0.093,t =2.949,P =0.015).Compared with the control group,the SIRT6 group showed significantly decreased p-p65 expression (P ＜ 0.05),but significantly increased migratory and proliferative activity (both P ＜ 0.05),and elevated mRNA expression of type Ⅲ collagen and integrin subunits oα3,α5 and β1 (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion SIRT6 can improve the migratory and proliferative activity of human fibroblasts in the elderly,possibly by inhibiting the nuclear factor-κB pathway.

Purpose: Drug resistance is one of the main causes of chemotherapy failure in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC), and extensive biological studies into chemotherapy drug resistance are required. Materials and Methods: In this study, we performed lncRNA microarray, in vitro functional assays, in vivo models and cDNA microarray to evaluate the impact of lncRNA in SCLC chemoresistance. Results: The results showed that KCNQ1OT1 expression was upregulated in SCLC tissues and was a poor prognostic factor for patients with SCLC. Knockdown of KCNQ1OT1 inhibited cell proliferation, migration, chemoresistance and promoted apoptosis of SCLC cells. Mechanistic investigation showed that KCNQ1OT1 can activate transforming growth factor-β1 mediated epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in SCLC cells. Conclusion Taken together, our study revealed the role of KCNQ1OT1 in the progression and chemoresistance of SCLC, and suggested KCNQ1OT1 as a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in SCLC clinical management.
