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.

砄bjective:To investigate the effects of salivary statherin on adherence of two kinds of main cariogenic bacteria. Methods: Human whole salivary statherin was separated and purified by high performance hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HPHIC) and was further identified by SDS PAGE electrophoresis and amino acid analysis.Then the adherence of Streptococcus mutans ( S.mutans serotype c,7H) and Sreptococcus sanguis (S.sanguis ,ATCC 10557)to hydroxyapatite (HA), which was covered with purified statherin or whole saliva (positive control) or PBS buffer (negative control) as experimental pellicles respectively,was studied by bacteria counting.Results:①More S.sanguis adhered to the experimental pellicles than S.mutans ( P

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 determine the effect of individualized oral hygiene instruction (OHI) on volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) level in mouth air of patients with chronic periodontitis.Methods The individualized oral hygiene instruction was provided for 31 patients with chronic periedontitis (Organoleptic score was over two points).The VSCs and plaque index (PLI) were evaluated pre-OHI and post-OHI.Results The score of PLI decreased from 3.09±0.44 to 2.63±0.46 significandy (P<0.05).The organoleptic score (OS) decreased from 2.68±0.70 to 2.35±0.75 significandy (P<0.05).While there was no significant difference on the VSCs level pre-OHI and post-OHI (P<0.05).Conclusions Individualized oral hygiene instruction is helpful to remove plaque and improve oral hygiene.But the effect of OHI on VSCs level in mouth air is limited.

Objective To investigate the change of CD_4~+CD_(25)~(high)CD_(127)~(low)> regulatory T cells (Trcg cells) sub-group level in peripheral blood of non-Hodgkin lymphama (NHL) patients, and to explore its clinical significance. Methods Treg cells levels in peripheral blood of lymphoma patients and normal were detected by flow cytometry, followed by statistical analysis. Results In the 65 cases of NHL patients, Treg cells in peripheral blood were (6.72±1.38) %, higher than that in the normal control group (5.65±0.68) % (P <0.05). Percentage of Treg cells are significantly different between clinical stages and normal: [P <0.05, normal control group (5.65±0.88) %, Ⅰ -Ⅱ period (6.08±1.18) %, Ⅲ-Ⅳ period (6.95±0.85) %]. The percentage of Treg cells are also different among pathological types of patients and normal [P <0.05, normal control group (5.65± 0.68) %. The percentage of Treg diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (5.83±0.95) % and other subtypes of lymphoma (7.83±1.76) %]were observed. It is not sure that Treg cells percentage among patients with different levels of lactate dehydrogenase and normal are significantly different. [P >0.05, normal control group (5.65±0.68) %, patients with normal LDH group (6.97±1.20) %, patients with lactate dehydrogenase (6.54±1.02) %]. Conclusion Treg cells induced by tumor and could inhibit the immune cells, Treg cells percentage in peripheral blood of tumor patients is higher than that the normal control group, and increased with the clinical staging, so the percentage of Treg cells may serve as a clinical indicator to evaluate tumor load.

OBJECTIVETo isolate and culture bovine cementum-derived cells and investigate their biological properties.

METHODSCulture of primary bovine cementoblast (CB) were established from new-born bovine teeth. Cementum was manually dissected, fragmented, and digested twice with collagenase. Following a thorough wash to remove liberated cells, the remaining cementum fragments were plated and cultured in RPMI1640 containing 10% FCS and 1.5% Hepes. The cells in culture were identified using immunocytochemistry by expression of cementum attachment protein (CAP), osteocalcin (OCN) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). ALP activity was measured by modified Gomori staining.

RESULTS(1) The cells in culture possessed the typical morphology of CB and there were no obvious change of the cell morphology up to 5th passage; (2) Cells in culture exhibited alkaline phosphatase activity and were also positive to CAP, OPN and ALP immunohistochemistry staining.

CONCLUSIONThe cells isolated and cultured in this experiment possess the properties of CB. This enables us to further observe its biological characteristics during cementogenesis and periodontal regeneration.

Objective To test different expression protein markers of the serum from B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma(B-cell NHL) between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma(FL)patients using sudace enhanced laser desorption/ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry(SELDI-TOF-MS)protein chip technology. Further, to test different expression of the protein markers of B-eell NHL patients after chemical therapy in order to discuss clinical significance. Methods Different expression of protein markers were analysed in serum between 54 B-cell NHL patients and 27 healthy volunteers by using SELDI-TOF-MS WCX-2 pertein chip. Meanwhile different expression of protein markers relative to pathology classification between 23 DLBCL patients and 12 FL patients were screened; and protein markers which affected prognosis of 23 DLBCL patients were screened. Results There were five specific marker proteins in 54 B-cell NHL patients and 27 healthy volunteers. Their relative molecular weights were 7974, 15 938, 3398,8564, and 8692. The protein markers of 7974 and 15 938 were at high level in patients and the protein markers of 3398, 8564 and 8692 were at low level in patients. There were two protein markers which affected the prognosis, with better outcome when the expression of 4795 and 4998 were increased. Conclusion SELDI-TOF-MS protein chip technology is a quick, easy and convenient method, with high-throughput analyzer which can screen several relatively specific protein markers from the serum of patients to diagnose B-cell NHL The relatively specific protein markers can be used to make pathology classification and to judge the prognosis of B-cell NHL, and have better clinical value.

Objective To research correlation of serum protein spectrometry and lymphoma markers for diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients. Whether there is relative between the protein and prognosis will be further researched. Methods Serum protein spectrometry of 62 DLBCL patients was detected by the SELDI-TOF-MS technique and Weak cation exchange 2 (WCX2) chip. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was detected by biochemistry method. Beta-2-microglobulin (β2-MG) and cancer antigen125(CA125)were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The level of LDH, β2-MG and CA125 for DLBCL patients between 11×103～12×103 protein expressed positively and negatively was analyzed. Meanwhile,correlation analysis and survival analysis were done. Results LDH, β2-MG and CA125 in 11×103～12×103protein expressed positive group were (523.30±435.96)U/L, (3.23±1.24)mg/L, (81.07±61.39)U/L respectively,and they were higher than that in negative group (P＜0.05). 11×103～12×103 protein was positive correlated to LDH, β2-MG and CA125 (P＜0.01). The survival time in 11×103～12×103 protein expressed in positive group,in which median survival time was 11 months, was shorter than that in negative group(P ＜0.01). The survival time in LDH normal group was longer than that in increased group(P ＜0.01). The survival time of β2-MG and CA125 had no significant difference between increased group and normal group. Conclusion LDH and 11×103～12×103 protein are expected to be prognosis indicators for DLBCL patients.
