Journal of Practical Stomatology 2000;0(06):-
Objective:To determine the concentration of three major salivary histadine-rich proteins(HRPs),HRP-1,HRP-3 and HRP-5 in whole saliva of children and to examine the association between HRP-1,HRP-3,HRP-5,total HRPs and caries status. Methods: paraffin-wax stimulated and non-stimulated whole saliva was collected from each of 42 children aged 3-5 years, coming from the same kindergarden. HRP-1,HRP-3,HRP-5 concentrations in saliva were determined with a high-performance liquid chromatography. The total HRPs concentration was calculated and the relationship between HRP-1,HRP-3,HRP-5,total HRPs and caries status was analyzed. Results: (1) The mean concentrations(?g/ml) of HRP-1,HRP-3,HRP-5 and total HRPs in non-stimulated whole saliva were 8.56?3.42, (13.91)?6.59,7.35?3.23 and 29.65?8.69 respectively,those in stimulated saliva were 10.85?3.71,15.92?(5.94),7.68?3.28 and 34.69?9.41 respectively.The concentrations of HRP-1, HRP-3 and total HRPs in stimulated saliva were significantly higher than that of non-stimulated (P

Objective: To explore the antagonistic effect of quercetin on fine particulate matter (PM2.5)-induced embryonic developmental toxicity in vitro.Methods: PM2.5 was collected on glass fiber filters by PM2.5 samplers during the heating period of Dec.2015 to Mar.2016 in an area of Haidian District, Beijing City.The sampled filters were cut into 1 cm×3 cm pieces followed by sonication.The PM2.5 suspension was filtered into a 10 cm glass dish through 8 layers of sterile carbasus and stored at-80 ℃ until freeze drying.Frozen PM2.5 suspension was dried by vacuum freeze-drying.In vitro post-implantation whole embryo culture was used in this study.Pregnant rats with 9.5 gestation days (GD) were killed by cervical dislocation and the uteri were removed into sterile Hank's solution.The embryos with intact yolk sacs and ecto placental cones were induced by PM2.5, and then subjected to intervention of quercetin at the doses of 0.1 μmol/L, 0.5 μmol/L, 1.0 μmol/L and 5.0 μmol/L, respectively.At the end of the 48 h culture period, the cultures were terminated, and all embryos were removed from the culture bottles and placed in prewarmed Hank's solution for evaluation.Morphological evaluation of the embryos was conducted under a stereomicroscope using the morphologic scoring system by Brown and Fabro.The mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) level was detected by FACSCalibur flow cyto-metry using MitoSOXTM Red staining.Results: An obvious antagonistic effect was achieved through querce-tin at the dose of 1.0 μmol/L, which could result in an increase of visceral yolk sac (VYS) diameter, crown-rump length and head length, somite number, and the differentiation of visceral yolk sac vascular vessels.The scores of allantois, flexion, heart, hind brain, midbrain, forebrain, auditory system, visual system, olfactory system, branchialarch, maxillary process, forelimb bud and hindlimb bud also revealed a significant increase and the relative mitochondrial ROS level of embryonic cells was significantly decreased when compared with PM2.5 group.Although quercetin at the doses of 0.1 μmol/L, 0.5 μmol/L, 5.0 μmol/L also exhibited protective effects against PM2.5-induced embryonic developmental toxicity, the protective effect was weaker when compared with the dose of 1.0 μmol/L.Conclusion: Quercetin at proper dose may be of great benefit for the development of embryos exposed to PM2.5 in the uterus of the rats.Quercetin provides an effective strategy for the prevention of PM2.5-induced embryonic developmental toxicity.Clearance of mitochondrial ROS may be one of its mechanisms.

Gut microbiota provide enzymes and additional biochemical metabolic pathways for the host, which together with the host genome and the external environment, influence the body function. The composition of gut microbiota in infant is closely related to health in later life. However, it is influenced by many factors, including delivery mode, feeding pattern, prenatal diet, pregnancy psychology and antepartum antibiotic treatment. Vaginal delivery and breastfeeding is beneficial for shaping gut microbiota, while cesarean section and formula feeding would reduce the amount of gut dominant bacteria. In addition, inappropriate diet during pregnancy, prenatal stress and antepartum antibiotic treatment alters bacterial colonization of the gut in infant.

ObjectiveTo review the efficacy and safety in secondary prevention of ischemic stroke with cilostazol or aspirin.Methodswe searched Cochrane Library(the 4th issue, 2009 ), PubMed(1980.1~2009.11), EMBASE(1980.1~2009.11), CBM(1978.1~2009.11), CNKI(1979.1~2009.11) and some other databases, then collected all of the studies describing the outcomes in curing the ischemic stroke after taking cilostazol or aspirin. According to the strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, two reviewers independently selected trials, extracted datas, made cross-checking and methodological quality assessment of the homogeneity studies by using the Cochrane systematic review methods, then made Meta analysis using RevMan 5.0 software.ResultsThis systematic review study included two randomized controlled trials and a cross-over trial, which contained a total of 838 participants. The evidence quality of one of the randomized controlled trials was high, however, the evidence quality of another randomized controlled trial and the cross-over trial was poor. Meta analysis results suggested that the effectiveness of cilostazol and aspirin in the secondary prevention of ischemic stroke performed no significantly statistical difference: primary endpoint(30 d[RR=3.00, 95%CI(0.31,28.70)]; 90 d[RR=1.67, 95%CI(0.40,6.92)]; 180 d[RR=1.25, 95%CI(0.50, 3.13)]; 360 d[RR=0.65, 95%CI(0.33, 1.29)]; 540 d[RR=0.80,95%CI(0.54, 1.18)]); combined endpoint(30 d[RR=4.00, 95%CI(0.45,35.61)]; 90 d [RR=1.75,95%CI(0.52,5.93)]; 180 d[RR=1.00, 95%CI(0.48, 2.07)]; 360 d [RR=0.77, 95%CI(0.45, 1.29)]; 540 d[RR=0.66,95%CI(0.40,1.09)]); the recurrence of ischemic stroke: cilostazol group: RR=0.64, 95%CI(0.31,1.30),aspirin group: RR=0.21, 95%CI(0.04,1.06); PDMP[RR=1.00, 95%CI(0.39, 2.58)]. But in terms of the probability of intracranial hemorrhage ([RR=7.14, 95%CI(0.7,58.33)]) and other safety standards, taking cilostazol performed lower than taking aspirin.ConclusionThe side effects of cilostazol and aspirin in the treatment for ischemic stroke were similar to each other, but in terms of the probability of dizziness, headache, tachycardia and palpitation, taking cilostazol performed higher than taking aspirin, however, taking cilostazol performed lower in the probability of intracranial hemorrhage and other organ hemorrhage than taking aspirin. Since this study included a small amount of studies, in which the evidence quality of one of the randomized controlled trials and the cross-over study was poor, therefore, it would be necessary to make a further validation with lots of high-quality clinical trials.
