BACKGROUND:Chitosan hydrogel has good biocompatibility, biodegradability and antibacterial property, which can promote tissue healing and induce bone formation. As a scaffold carrying growth factors, it can ensure the efficient and slow release of exogenous growth factors.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of injectable nano/chitosan/bone morphogenetic protein-2 composite to promote periodontal tissue regeneration in rats.
METHODS:Fifty-four Wistar rats were randomized into three groups, and then chronic periodontitis model of the second molar was established. After modeling, injectable nano/chitosan/bone morphogenetic protein-2 composite was implanted into the periodontal tissue of the second molar in the experimental group; injectable nano/chitosan hydrogel was implanted in the control grouop; and nothing was implanted in the blank group. At 3, 6, 9 weeks after surgery, gingival bleeding index, probing depth, and tooth mobility were detected. X-ray and histopathological observations were carried out.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 9 weeks after surgery, the probing depth and tooth mobility were both lower in the experimental group than the other two groups (P < 0.05). In the experimental group, the alveolar bone height was restored at the root bifurcations, bone trabeculae were arranged densely and evenly, the newly formed periodontal ligament and alveolar bone tissues were dense and equaly distributed in the bone defect area at 9 weeks after surgery, indicating a better restoration effect than the control and blank groups. These findings suggest that the injectable nano/chitosan/bone morphogenetic protein-2 composite has an anti-inflammatory role and can guide periodontal tissue regeneration.

Objective To investigate the values of combined detection of serum pancreas autoantibodies (PAB),anti-saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies(ASCA),goblet cell autoantibodies(GAB) and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies(PANCA) and fecal calprotectin(FC) in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of inflammatory bowel diseases(IBD).Methods The serum and feces samples from IBD patients,including 107 with definite Crohn's disease(CD) and 98 with definite ulcerative colitis(UC),and 79 non-IBD patients as the control were collected.Serum PANCA,ASCA,GAB and PAB were detected by an indirect immunofluorescence assay,and FC concentration by double-antibody sandwich ELISA.The results from different patients were compared and analyzed.Results The positive rates of serum PANCA,GAB,PAB and ASCA in 205 IBD patients were 36.1％,29.8％,38.0％ and 4.9％,respectively.The FC concentrations in IBD,CD and UC patients were significantly higher than that in the control(P ＜ 0.01),while there was no statistical difference between CD and UC patients (P ＞ 0.05).The positive rates of PANCA in CD and UC patients were 8.4％ and 66.3％,respectively,while those of PAB in CD and UC patients were 65.4％ and 8.2％,respectively.The sensitivity and specificity of PAB,PANCA,GAB,ASCA,FC and their combination in the differential diagnosis of IBD and non-IBD were 38.0％,36.1％,29.8％,4.9％,54.1％,63.4％ and 98.7％,96.2％,94.9％,100％,68.4％,93.7％,respectively.The area under the ROC of the combination of 5 markers was 0.819 in differentially diagnosing IBD and non-IBD.The area under the ROC of PANCA for the differential diagnosis of UC was 0.816,while that of PAB for the differential diagnosis of CD was 0.823.Conclusion GAB is an autoantibody associated with IBD,which may be helpful for the auxiliary diagnosis of IBD.PAB and PANCA are the important serological markers for the diagnosis of CD and UC,respectively.The combination of FC with PAB,PANCA,GAB and ASCA may be used for the differential diagnosis of IBD and non-IBD,but has little value in distinguishing CD and UC.

Objective: To investigate the change in expression of anti-senescence marker protein calmodulin (RGN) in liver tissues of rats with immune hepatic fibrosis, and to observe the effect of compound glutathione inosine injection (CGII) on it. Methods: Rat liver fibrosis model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of porcine serum, and CGII intervention was administered at the appropriate time. Rat liver tissues were stained with HE and Masson. RGN and protein expression at mRNA in liver tissues was detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry. One-way Anova was used for measurement data. LDS test was used for two-way comparison, and pathological semi-quantitative results were analyzed by rank-sum test. Results: The relative expression of RGN mRNA and protein in liver tissue of fibrotic rats was 82.23 ± 15.21 and 12.52 ± 3.23, respectively, which were significantly lower than that of normal rats 176.39 ± 11.35 and 59.23 ± 9.13 (P < 0.01). The degree of liver fibrosis in fibrotic rats after CGII intervention was significantly lower than fibrotic rats. The relative expression of RGN mRNA and protein in the intervention group was 168.78 ± 21.31 and 46.42 ± 4.71, respectively, which were significantly higher than fibrosis and spontaneous recovery group. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01). The relative expression of RGN mRNA and protein in the spontaneous recovery group was 86.23 ± 17.16 and 14.34 ± 5.16, which was higher than model group. The difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Conclusion The expression of RGN in liver tissue of rats with hepatic fibrosis induced by porcine serum is decreased, while the expression of RGN increases with the decrease of fibrosis after CGII intervention, suggesting that the protein may play an important role in the development of liver fibrosis.

Objective: To investigate the effect and mechanism of XTP4 gene in apoptotic hepatoblastoma HepG2 cell line. Methods: HepG2 cells were transiently transfected with small interfering RNA of XTP4 genes, plasmid pcDNA3.1/myc-His(-) A-XTP4, and hepatitis B virus X protein transactivated x gene 4 (HBX protein trans-activate gene4, XTP4) and their respective negative controls. After 48h, the overexpression and interference expression condition of XTP4 in HepG2 cells were detected by Western blot. HepG2 cells apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. The expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins P53, Bcl-2, Bax and Caspase-3 in HepG2 cells were detected by Western blot, and Bcl-2/Bax ratio was calculated. The chemiluminescence assay was used to detect activity of caspase-3 in HepG2 cells. The measured data were presented as ( ± s), and independent sample t-test was used for comparison between the two groups. Results: HepG2 cells had successfully achieved the overexpression and interference expression of XTP4 protein. Compared with the control group, the overexpression of XTP4 in HepG2 cells had significantly decreased the number of apoptotic cells (P < 0.05), and increased Bcl-2/Bax (P < 0.05) ratio, but decreased the expression of P53 protein (P < 0.05). The protein expression of Caspase-3 and activity of caspase-3 was decreased (P < 0.05). However, interference with XTP4 expression in HepG2 cells had significantly increased the number of apoptotic cells (P < 0.05) and decreased Bcl-2/Bax (P < 0.05) ratio, but increased the expression of P53 protein (P < 0.05). The protein expression of Caspase-3 and activity of caspase-3 was increased (P<0.05). Conclusion In HepG2 apoptosis XTP4 has inhibitory effect, and its effect on inhibiting HepG2 apoptosis may be achieved by regulating the Bcl-2/Bax ratio, and the P53 protein may be involved.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of single or combine using radionuclide 89SrCl2/Yunke in cancer patients with bone metastasis. Methods Four hundred and one cancer patients with bone metas-tasis during 2012 Jan to 2016 Jan in Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Guangxi Medical University were included by a prospective study. According to different therapy ,these patients were randomly divided into three groups:radionu-clide 89SrCl2 group(n=111),Yunke group(n=130)and combined therapy group(n=160). The effect of pain relief and adverse reaction among three groups were compared after therapy. Results Compared with single using radionuclide 89SrCl2 or Yunke ,the cancer pain and bone metastasis in combined-using group were significantly re-lieved with effective rate of 91.25%and 98.75%respectively;the incidence of'pain shine'(11.7%),leucopenia (10.8%)and thrombocytopenia(6.3%)in combined-using group were both lower than single-using group. The ef-fective rate of cancer pain and bone metastasis relief ,and incidence of adverse reaction among single using radionu-clide 89SrCl2 or Yunke were similar. Conclusion Combined-using radionuclide 89SrCl2 and Yunke would effectively and safely relieve cancer with bone metastasis.

In order to study the role of annexin II, a recombinant expression vector, pZeoSV2(+) ANN II, containing the annexin II cDNA, was developed. The 1.1-kb-length annexin II cDNA was inserted into a expression vector, PZeoSV(+) and transfected into HL-60 cells which had low baseline expression of Ann- II. pZeoSV(+) ANN II was analyzed by restriction mapping and the Ann- II sequence identified. The ability of the transfected cells, non-transfected and mock-transfected cells to stimulate t-PA-depend plasminogen activation was compared. The results showed that HL-60 with pZeoSV(+) ANN II transfection could significantly increase the plasminogen activation (8.9 +/- 1.2 U) in vitro with the difference being significant as compared with non-transfected (1.5 +/- 0.4 U) and mock-transfected cells (4.2 +/- 0.9 U), respectively. Antiannexin II oligonucleotides significantly inhibited the binding ability of t-PA and plasminogen to annexin II, and obviously reduced the plasminogen activation in vitro. The above findings showed human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) treated with sense or missense oligonucleotides indicated no significant change in binding of t-PA and PLG. Treatment of HUVECs with antiannexin II oligonucleotides could significantly reduce the plasminogen activation by 2.4 +/- 0.3 U as compared with sense oligonucleotide group in binding of t-PA and PLG. These results, therefore, suggest that Ann- II can bind plasminogen and participate in the stimulation of t-PA-dependent activation of plasminogen, and that interference with Ann-II mRNA by antisense oligonucleotide may be a new strategy for the therapy of bleeding in patients with hyperfibrinolysis.

The effects of tissue factor (TF) on doxorubicin-induced apoptosis in human neuroblas- toma were investigated. The expression of TF was examined by Western blotting. TFsiRNA-pSUPER plasmid was constructed by inserting specific 19-nt silencing sequence targeting TF gene into pSU- PER vector. Transfection of TFsiRNA-pSUPER was performed using lipofectamine2000. The cytotox- icity of doxorubicin was determined by WST assay. The activation of Caspase-3 and PARP induced by doxorubicin was tested by Western blotting. The apoptotic cells were stained by Hochest33342 and counted under fluorescence inverted microscope. It was found that human neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-MC expressed high level of TF. Knockdown of the TF expression was achieved by trans- fection of TFsiRNA-pSUPER on SK-N-MC cells in a dose-dependent manner. Inhibition of TF sig- nificantly decreased the viability of transfected SK-N-MC cells treated with different concentrations of doxorubicin. Cleavage of Caspase-3 and PARP was enhanced in transfected SK-N-MC cells with down-regulation of TF. TFsiRNA treatment significantly increased the number of apoptotic cells in transfected SK-N-MC cells as compared with those control cells (P＜0.05) when these cells were ex-posed to 1 μg/mL doxorubicin for 8 h. These results suggested that knockdown of the TF expression by specific siRNA vector could increase the cytotoxicity of doxorubicin and enhance doxorubi- cin-induced apoptosis in human nearoblastoma cells. Over-expression of TF might contribute to chemotherapy resistance in human neuroblastoma and its progression, at lest in part, by regulating doxorubicin-induced apoptosis.

Objective To explore the role of cerebrospinal fluid chimerism in central nervous relapse surveillance for patients of acute leukemia after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).Methods The follow-up data were retrospectively collected and analyzed in 104 patients with acute leukemia after allo-HSCT.Comparisons were made between patients with complete chimerism and mixed chimerism in cerebrospinal fluid.The role of recipient DNA percentage and its changing trend in predicting central nervous relapse were also explored.Analysis was conducted for determining the risk factors of central nervous relapse.And the effectiveness of prophylaxis with intrathecal injection was also examined.Results The incidence of relapse was higher in patients with mixed chimerism (P＜0.001),high percentage of recipient DNA (P＜0.05) and higher mixed chimerism (P＜0.001).Hyperleukocytosis at an initial diagnosis was a risk factor of central nervous relapse.Whether or not intrathecal injection prophylaxis was applied showed no significant difference in relapsing rate.Conclusions Monitoring cerebrospinal fluid chimerism can effectively help predict central nervous relapse among patients of acute leukemia after allo-HSCT.Yet intrathecal injection prophylaxis failed to benefit recipients.

Relapse remains the worst life-threatening complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), whose prognosis has been historically dismal. Given the rapid development of genomics and immunotherapies, the interference strategies for AML recurrence have been changing these years. More and more novel targeting agents that have received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for
