AIM: To re-identify the special motif regulating osteoclast(OC)differentiation in receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B(RANK)to provide evidences for studying the mechanism of OC differentiation.METHODS: Eight amino acids were mutated(from DIIVVYVS into ELLAAFAA)in the fragment between the 533th and the 540th amino acids in RANK cytoplasmic domain.Eight mutant TNFR1/RANK chimeras,each consists of TNFR1(tumor necrosis factor receptor 1)extracellular domain linked to transmembrane domain and cytoplasmic domain of RANK with one amino acid mutated in cytoplasmic domain was constructed by point mutation method.After the eight mutant chimeras were finished,they were packed with plat E cell line to produce the retrovirus expressing mutant TNFR1/RANK.The bone marrow macrophages(BMMs),isolated from TNFR1/R2 double knockout mice,were infected with retrovirus derived from different mutants and infected BMMs which did not differentiated into OCs were inspected after stimulated by TNF-? and M-CSF.The fragment consisted of different amino acids in TNFR1/RANK chimeras,which couldn't induce OC formation after mutated,may be the special motif regulating OC differentiation.RESULTS: We found that all BMMs transfected by TNFR1/RANK-533,TNFR1/RANK-539 or TNFR1/RANK-540 differentiated into OCs,indicating that none of amino acids D533,V539 or S540 had an effect on OC differentiation.A fewer of BMMs transfected by TNFR1/RANK-534 differentiated into OCs,indicating that I534 had a partial effect on OC formation.Most importantly,BMMs transfected TNFR1/RANK-535,TNFR1/RANK-536,TNFR1/RANK-537 or TNFR1/RANK-538 did not differentiated into OCs,indicating each of amino acids I535,V536,V537 and Y538 played a pivotal role in OC differentiation.CONCLUSION: The amino acid fragment consists of I534,I535,V536,V537 and Y538 may be the special motif regulating OC differentiation in RANK.

Occupational therapy, as one of the important subdisciplines of rehabilitation therapy, takes occupational activities as the medium or purpose of treatment and life participation as the goal of treatment to meet the growing demand for rehabilitation. According to the Minimum Standards for the Education of Occupational Therapists developed by the World Federation of Occupational Therapists, many countries and regions have formulated educational standards that meet their own national or regional characteristics. Comparatively, the number of occupational therapists is seriously insufficient, the talents cultivation is relatively lagging behind, and the education level is uneven in mainland China; while in Hongkong and Taiwan, occupational therapy has an independent education system and a relatively mature talent training model. This study summarized the practical experience and reviewed the relevant literature. Based on the summary and review, we made a comparative analysis of postgraduate education in mainland China and Taiwan from the aspects of educational system and accreditation, enrollment objects, curriculum setting and teaching methods, which would provide a reference for the improvement of occupational therapy personnel training system in mainland China.

BACKGROUND:Periodontitis is an inflammatory and destructive disease with plaque biofilm as the main pathogenic material,which occurs in the gingiva,periodontal ligament,alveolar bone and cementum.The antigen of bacterial complex and its secreted toxin and enzyme directly lead to the destruction of periodontal tissue and trigger the host's immune response,causing indirect damage to the body tissue.Silence information regulatory factors(Sirtuins,SIRTs)play an important role in anti-aging,anti-oxidative stress,regulating inflammation,and mediating autophagy,and are closely related to the occurrence and development of periodontitis. OBJECTIVE:To review the research status of Sirtuins in periodontitis. METHODS:The first author used the computer to search the relevant research regarding the role of Sirtuins in periodontitis in PubMed,Web of Scene,CNKI and WanFang databases.The key words were"Sirtuins,Sirtuin1-7,periodontitis"in English and Chinese.After literature screening,57 articles were included for review and analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:SIRT1,SIRT2,SIRT3,and SIRT6 participate in regulating the occurrence and development of periodontitis.Inhibition of SIRT1 expression may be the target of periodontitis treatment,while overexpression of SIRT1 can inhibit periodontitis and protect periodontal tissue.The activator of SIRT1 can reduce the inflammation of periodontal tissue and improve the systemic pathological changes caused by periodontitis.SIRT2 is involved in nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase-mediated periodontal inflammation and plays a role in the treatment and prognosis of periodontal diseases.SIRT3 can improve age-related periodontal disease.Gastrodin promotes the osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells through the up-regulation of SIRT3.The activator of SIRT3 reduces the damage of periodontitis to periodontal and renal tissues by regulating the level of autophagy in the cells.SIRT6 can inhibit the inflammatory reaction of periodontal tissue and inhibit the differentiation and mineralization of cementoblasts.SIRT6 is beneficial to the prognosis of periapical periodontitis.The relationship between SIRT4,SIRT5,SIRT7 and periodontitis is rarely reported.
