BACKGROUND:In the treatment of early caries, fluoride can be used for remineralization of white spot lesions. Varnish XT (durable fluoride-releasing coating) and ICON penetration resins are two new materials. Varnish XT as a new type of resin reinforced glass ionomer can be selected as mineralized material. ICON penetration resin is a high-permeability resin with good liquidity that can infiltrate by capilary action into the pores created by enamel demineralization. Low-viscosity resin is used to replace the lost hard tissue due to demineralization and occupy the micropores, so as to fil the region of enamel demineralization and prevent further development of lesions. OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of two minimaly invasive surgical treatment materials, Varnish XT and ICON penetrating resin, on the microhardness of enamel caries white spot. METHODS:Totaly 100 incisors of cows were selected, embedded with ethoxyline resin and polished. The lip side facing down served as the observation side. An area of at least 6 mm×10 mm on the enamel face was exposed, and there were five regions from incisal to dental cervix, A, B, C, D, E. After demineralization liquid for artificial caries, no treatment was adopted in region A, treatment with Varnish XT was for region B, treatment with ICON penetrating resin for region C, treatment with fluoride for region D, and region E was sealed with antacid nail. Surface micro-hardness was detected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After demineralization, surface micro-hardness of regions A, B, C, D decreases remarkably as compared with region E (P < 0.05). Surface micro-hardness of regions B, C, D was higher than that of region A, and ranged as folows: C > B and D for surface micro-hardness with statistical significance (P < 0.05). There was no statistical significance of surface micro-hardness between regions B and D (P > 0.05). ICON resin infiltration, Varnish XT and fluoride have obvious improvement effects on surface micro-hardness, and ICON resin infiltration is superior to Varnish XT and fluoride.

The painless needle insertion technique, summarized by Professor WU Lian-zhong during his decades of acupuncture clinical practice is introduced in this article, which is characterized as soft, flexible, fast, plucking and activating antipathogenic qi. The Sancai (three layers) lifting and thrusting manipulation technique is adopted by Professor WU for getting the qi sensation. And features of 10 kinds of needling sensation such as soreness, numbness, heaviness, distension, pain, cold, hot, radiation, jumping and contracture are summarized. Finger force, amplitude, speed and time length are also taken as the basis of reinforcing and reducing manipulations. Moreover, examples are also given to explain the needling technique on some specific points which further embodies Professor WU's unique experiences and understandings on acupuncture.

Objective:To study the effects of 17 beta-estradiol (E2) on the proliferation and metastasis potential of salivary gland mucoepidermoid carcinoma M_3SP_4 cells. Methods:The effects of E2 on the potential of proliferation and metastasis of M_3SP_4 cells were investigated by cell counting, MTT assay, clonegenetic assay, in vivo tumour growth and metastasis assay in nude mice.The expression of VEGF,c-erbB-2,Ki-67 and P16 in M_3SP_4 cells was examined by immunohistochemistry assay. Results:E2 increased the proliferation of M_3SP_4 cells at 10~-10-10~-5 mol/L. E2 at 10~-7 mol/L showed the strongest effects.After treatment with E2 at 10~-7 mol/L,the population doubling time of M_3SP_4 cells decreased by 10.8%,clonegenecity increased by 225%, VEGF,c-erbB-2 and Ki-67 expression increased,P16 decreased.In the in vivo assay,the tumour growth increased by 65% and metastasis increased by 609% in nude mice treated with E2 at 0.005 2 mg/d. Conclusion:E2 may stimulate the proliferation and metastasis potential of M_3SP_4 cells.

Objective:To establish a culture method of human salivary gland epithelial cells and to study their growth characteristics in vitro.Methods:Tissue explant technic was employed to culture human salivary gland epithelial cells in serum free medium (SFM),1∶1 DMEM/F12 and 1∶1 DMEM/F12 containing 25 ml/L fetal boven serum (FBS) respectively.The morphology of the cultured cells was observed by phase contract microscope.The cell growth was studied by cell counting.The cells were identified by HE staining,PAS staining and SP staining.Results:Growth of human salivary gland epithelial cells was observed in primary culture in the three kinds of medium in all 10 cases. The cultured cells were epidermoid, positive for cytokeratin, negative for Vimentin and positive for PAS staining. The cells in SFM could be subcultured for five passages,while only for one passage in the other two kinds of medium.Conclusion:SFM is superior to serum free 1∶1 DMEM/F12 or 1∶1 DMEM/F12 containing 25 ml/L FBS for the culture of human salivary gland epithelial cells.

Objective To investigate the expression of caveolin-1 in the sera of esophageal cancer patients , and the possibility of caveolin-1 to be the tumor marker of an esophageal cancer .Methods ⑴Western blot was used to detect the expression of caveolin-1 in esophageal cancer cell EC 109 and EC9706;⑵The sera were collected from 43 esophageal cancer patients , 30 benign esophageal lesions, and 50 healthy control men.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect caveolin-1 in serum.Results⑴Western blot showed that caveolin-1 was detected in two types of esophageal cancer cell lines .The level of caveolin-1 in the poor dif-ferentiated EC109 cell line was mush higher than in the well differentiated EC 9706 cell line ( t =3.08 , P =0.035 ) .⑵ ELISA re-vealed that the median level of serum caveolin-1 in 43 esophageal cancers (0.104 ng/ml) was significantly higher than 30 benign e-sophageal lesions (0.075 ng/ml) or 50 healthy control men (0.081 ng/ml) (χ2 =23.16, P =0.001).Conclusions Caveolin-1 may be the tumor marker of an esophageal cancer as its level in esophageal patients was higher than in benign esophageal lesions pa -tients or healthy control men .

Objective To study the efficacy of CPT-11 TACE in the treatment of unresectable HCC.Methods A retrospective review was undertaken on unresectable HCC patients receiving doxorubicin transarterial chemoembolization (59 cases) and irinotecan(CPT-11) in 24 cases from May 2003 to November 2011.Survival analysis was performed with Kaplan-Meier statistics.Differences in survival between the two groups were assessed for statistical significance with the log-rank test.Results Overall survival time was significantly longer in patients treated with CPT-11 compared with doxorubicin treated group (21.7 vs 14.5 months,P =0.042).There was no significant difference in time to progression between the two groups,but time to progression was longer in CPT-11 group than doxorubicin treated group (11.42 vs 9.46 months,P =0.091).Subgroup analysis showed that for intermediate-stage HCC,CPT-11 resulted in a significantly longer time to progression and overall survival compared with doxorubicin treated group (P =0.029 and P =0.014,respectively).There were no significant differences in adverse events among the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Chemotherapeutic agent CPT-11 in the form of TACE significantly improved overall survival when compared with doxorubicin for the treatment of unresectable HCC.

An on-site method for the determination of sulfur mustard ( SM) was developed based on pinhole shell-isolated nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. By using 0. 1 mol/L MgSO4 as effective agglomeration reagent, more Raman “hot spots” were induced, and thus a limit of detection for SM at 10 μg/L was achieved with a linearity of 10-1000 μg/L and an analytical enhanced factor of 1. 1×106. This method can be directly applied in the measurement of SM in environmental water samples with good sensitivity and reproducibility, and the standard addition recovery was between 88%-114%. Good differentiation of four SM related compounds, 2-chloroethyl ethylsulfide, thiodiglycol, bis-β-chloroethyl sulphoxide and bis-β-chloroethyl sulphone, was also obtained.
