BACKGROUND: It has been proved that the rare earth compounds can obviously restrain the growth of tumor in vitro and in vivo.OBJECTIVE: To check the effect of chlorinated lanthanum (LaCl3) on the expressions of cyclin D1 and cyclin dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) of hepatocellular carcinoma cells.DESIGN: Controlled observation.SETTING: Department of Nephropathy, First Clinical Hospital, Jilin University. MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out in the cell culture laboratory (province-level) of Department of Histology and Embryology, Jilin University from July 2002 to June 2003. Wells of the microwell plate seeded with CBRH-7919 cells were randomly divided into 4 groups according to the dose of LaCl3: control, 0.01, 0.1, 1.0 mmol/L LaCl3. And each group was further divided into three subgroups according to the culture time: 1, 3, 5 days, with 6 wells for each.METHODS: The growth of CBRH-7919 cells was monitored following treated with 0.01, 0.1, 1.0 mmol/L LaCl3 for 1, 3, 5 days in vitro, respectively. ① Absorbance(A) of each well was measured by MTT assay.② The changes of distribution of cells into different phases of cell cycle were detected by flow cytometry. ③ Cyclin D1 and CDK4 expression was detected by immunocytochemical analysis.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The expression of cyclin D1 and CDK4 in CBRH-7919 cells of different doses of LaCl3 at different time.RESULTS: Effect of LaCl3 on the growth of CBRH-7919: On days 3 and 5, the A value of each well in the 0.1 and 1.0 mmol/L LaCl3 groups was respectively significantly lower than that in the control group (day 3: 1.140±0:070, 0.706±0.092,1.461±0.087; day 5: 1.888±0.020,0.625±0.037,2.544±0.032, respectively) (P ＜ 0.05,0.001 ). ②Effect of LaCl3 on the percentage of CBRH-7919 cells at G0/G1 stage: On days 1, 3, and 5, the percentage of CBRH-7919 cells at G0/G1 stage in the 1.0 mol/L LaCl3 group was respectively significantly higher than that in the blank control group [(60.70±0.20)%, (39.49±0.67)%; (61.66±0.97)%, (45.56±1.00)%; (69.92±0.18)%, (49.24±0.27)%, (P ＜ 0.01,0.001 )]; On day 5, the percentage of CBRH-7919 cells at G0/G1 stage in the 0.1 mol/L LaCl3 group was respectively significantly higher than that in the blank control group[(58.88±0.73)%, (49.24±0.27)%, P ＜ 0.05]. ③ Effect of LaCl3 on the expressions of cyclin D1 and CDK4 of CBRH-7919 cells: On day 1, the expressions of cyclin D1 and CDK4 of CBRH-7919 cells in the 0.1 and 1.0 mmol/L LaCl3 groups were respectively lower than those in the blank control group (expression of cyclin D1: 562±35,453±22,860±82;expression of CDK4: 705±84,680±28,762±16, P ＜ 0.05, 0.01 and 0.001).CONCLUSION: LaCl3 inhibited the growth of CBRH-7919 cells correlating down-regulating cyclin D1 and CDK4 as reflected on the cell cycle arrest of CBRH-7919 cells from G1 stage to S stage.

Objective To investigate the protective role of two-step decapping technique for superior parathyroid glands in total thyroidectomy surgery.Methods The clinical data of 136 consecutive cases underwenttwo-step decapping technique in total thyroidectomy plus central compartment dissection from April 2013 to January 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.And the incidences of postoperative hypocalcemia were was compared with conventional consecutive decapping surgical methods containing 113 cases from January 2010 to March 2013.All operations were performed by the same treatment group.Results In the two-step decapping group,28 cases(28/136,20.6％) displayed postoperative temporary hypoparathyroidism and a higher incidence were was observed in 37 cases (37/113,32.7％) in the conventional method group,the difference was statistically significant(x2 =4.737,P =0.03).Whereas,2 cases(2/136,1.5％) suffered permanent hypoparathyroidism in the two-step decapping group and 7 cases (7/113,6.2％) of permanent hypoparathyroidism in the conventional method group,the difference was statistically significant (x2 =3.954,P =0.047).Conclusion Two-step decapping technique can more effectively protect the parathyroid gland function.It is worthy of popularization.

BACKGROUND:There is often space between implant and bone during immediate implantation.Whether biological membrane is needed to guide bone regeneration remains poorly understood.OBJECTIVE:To createdifferent sizes of space between femurand implantsindogs and to observe the effects of biological membrane on bone regeneration capacity of bone defects surrounding implants.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:A self-control animal experiment was performed at the Laboratory Animal Center,Norman Bethune College of Medicine,Jilin University and School of Stomatology,Jilin University between March and December 2005.MATERIALS:BLB hydroxyapatite-coated implant was provided by Beijing Leiden Biomaterial Co.,Ltd.,China;BME-10X collagen membrane was purchased from Fujian Better Biotechnology Co..Ltd.,China.METHODS:BLB implants were installed in the bilateral proximal femoral bone to create standard gradient bone defects with horizontal width 3 mm.vertical depth 5 mm,and horizontal lengths of 0,1,2,3,and 4 mm Bone defects on the left femur were sutured directly and those on the right femur were covered with biological membrane prior to suture.All animals were sacrificed at 3 months after surgery.Specimens containing implants were harvested to prepare tissue blocks for radiological observation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The quantity,color,and texture of newly formed bone surrounding implants were observed from the surface and profile levels.The implant-bone integration and new bone formation were also examined by soft X-ray photography.RESULTS:Grossobservation results revealed that when the horizontal length of bone defect was 3 mm or less,there was no significant differenee in bone density between the newly formed bone and the host bone no matter whether biological membrane existed or not;when the horizontal length of bone defect was 4 mm the bone density was better when biological membranes were used than not.Soft X-ray photography results revealed that when the horizontal length ofbone defect was 3 mm or less.no significant difference in bone density and bone trabecular morphology and orientating was found between newly formed bone and host bone no matter whether biological membrane was used or not;in the 4-mm-length bone defect areas.implants contacted with newly formed bone directly,but the calcified degree ofnewly formed bone was poor,bone trabecula was thin,and bone trabecular course was irregular,nevertheless,the calcified degree of newly formed bone was better under the condition of being with biological membrane than without biological membrane.CONCLUSION:Biological membrane exhibits strong capacity to promote the regeneration and repair of bone defect tissue with a horizontal length of 3 mm or less,and plays an important role in repatr of large sizes of bone detect
