ObjectiveTo observe the effect of ulinastatin on the survival and lymphocyte apoptosis in mice with cecal ligation and puncture(CLP) induced sepsis, so as to investigate the possible mechanism of ulinastatin action in sepsis. MethodsForty 8-10 weeks old Methods Forty8?10weeksoldmaleC57BL/6mice(22?30gbodyweight)wererandomlyassignedtofourgroups,i.e.,Sham group,CLP group,CLP plus UTI ip group (100000U/kg by intraperitoneal injection at half an hour after operation),and CLP plus UTI iv group(100000U/kg by intravenous injection at half an hour after operation).After success ful establishment of CLP model,the7-daysurvivalofthe10animalsineachgroupwasobservedandthesurvivalcurvewasalsoplotted.Basedon the 7-day survival of animals,another 40 mice were divided into the above 4 groups and specimens were collected 24h after CLP to examine the lymphocyte count in the peripheral blood, thymus and spleen and theapoptosis of lymphocytes in the thymus and spleen.The statistical analyses were done with Prism 5.01(Graph Pad Software, USA).Results The 7-day survival ratesin the two UTI groups were significantly higher than that in the CLP group(P<0.05).The lymphocyte count sin the two UTI groups were significantly higher than that in the CLP group (P<0.05),and the lymphocyte apoptosis rates in the two UTI groups were significantly lower than that in the CLP group(P<0.05).The above parameters were not significantly different between the two UTI groups.Conclusion Both intraperitoneal and intravenous treatment with UTI can greatly improve the survival of septic mice,which might be related to the roles of UTI inincreasing the lymphocytes count in the peripheral blood, thymus and spleen of septic mice and in alleviating lymphocyte apoptosis in the thymus and spleen.

BACKGROUND:Recent studies have shown that osteoclast differentiation factor is closely related to osteoclast differentiation, formation and function in bone remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of three kinds of orthodontic appliances on the expression of osteoclast differentiation factor at the pressure side of rat periodontal tissue during remodeling process and to explore the biocompatibility of the orthodontic appliances with the host tissues during orthodontic treatment. METHODS:Eighty healthy Wistar rats were selected to establish animal models of orthodontic tooth movement, and then randomly divided into four groups: control group, MBT group, Begg group, Damon Ⅲ appliance group. Four animal from each group were sacrificed at 3, 7, 14 days after wearing orthodontic appliances. The tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining was used to count the osteoclasts at the pressure side of alveolar bone tissue; real-time quantitative PCR detection to detect mRNA expression of osteoclast differentiation factor at the pressure side of periodontal tissue and time distribution characteristics. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, the number of positive osteoclasts and mRNA expression of osteoclast differentiation factor at the pressure side of the alveolar bone tissue were increased with orthodontic time, reached the peaked at 7 days and then gradualy decreased. The number of positive osteoclastsand mRNA expression of osteoclast differentiation factor at the pressure side of the alveolar bone tissue were significantly higher in the Damon Ⅲ group than the other three groups at 7 days after orthodontic treatment (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that, during the bone remodeling, the number of positive osteoclasts changed in accordance with the mRNA expression of osteoclast differentiation factor, and at 7 days, the number of positive osteoclasts and mRNA expression of osteoclast differentiation factor were highest in the Damon Ⅲ group.

OBJECTIVE: Nuclear factor (NF)-?B is an inducible transcription factor detected in neurons, glial and neural stem cells. It is involved in many biological processes such as inflammation and innate immunity, development, apoptosis and anti-apoptosis. This text is aimed to explain the roles of NF-?B in proliferation, migration and differentiation of neural stem cells. DATA SOURCES: The related literatures between January 1987 and September 2006 were collected from the PUBMED with the keywords of "Neural stem cell, Proliferation, Migration, Differentiation/stem cell, Differentiation/NF-?B" in English. STUDY SELECTION: Firstly the articles were checked and quotations attached to these articles were looked over. Inclusive criteria: the content of the articles must be correlated with roles of NF-?B in proliferation, migration, differentiation of neural stem cell. Exclusive criteria: Repetitive research or articles of Meta analysis. DATA EXTRACTION: There were 61 correlated articles, 32 articles accorded with inclusive criteria, and 29 articles excluded were olden or repetitive in content. In 32 collected articles, 4 articles referred to adult neural stem cell, 3 articles referred to NF-?B/Rel family and Ⅰ-?B, 11 articles referred to NF-?B and proliferation of neural stem cell, 8 articles referred to NF-?B and migration of neural stem cell and 6 articles referred to NF-?B and differentiation of neural stem cell. DATA SYNTHESIS: Neural stem cells were characterized by the capability to undergo self-renewal, cell divisions, to migrate and to differentiate into multiple cell types. Stem cells within the adult brain were found within special areas. Neural stem cells experienced the processes of dissociation, immigration and differentiation. NF-?B was a transcription factor, which can bind to specific DNA-sequences and regulate transcription. NF-?B was involved in induction of proliferation under erythropoietin (EPO), hypoxia conditions and brain injury. The inhibitors of NF-?B such as beta-peptide, nitric oxide acted in negative manner on proliferation of neural stem cells. In migration of neural stem cell, NF-?B was necessary for induction of migration caused by macrophage chemo attractant protein-1, stem cell factor, stromal cell derived factor. The differentiation of neural stem cells toward astrocytic, neuronal, oligodendrocytic and glial lineages was determined by specific signaling cascades. Interleukin-6 family could accelerate the differentiation of neural stem cells to horizontal cells. The differentiation of neuroblastoma cells could be joined by NF-?B. CONCLUSION: A great quantity of evidences verifies that NF-?B plays a crucial role in the complicated regulatory mechanism of transcription of neural stem cells.

BACKGROUND:There is no design that can completely rule out the intermittent impact damage to implants, therefore, a new bal attachment-retained implant system is constantly updated and developed. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of an implant-supported mandibular overdenture retained with a bal attachment. METHODS: We searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Medline, EM-base, WanFang Data, CNKI, VIP and other databases by computer to colect randomized controled trials addressing the implant-supported mandibular overdenture retained with a bal attachment and other control methods for dentures. The time limit was from database creation to February 2014. Two researchers independently completed literature screening according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, data extraction and quality assessment. RevMan 5.1 software was used for meta-analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There were 10 studies included in result analysis, including 7 from China and 3 from other countries. Analysis results showed that statistical heterogeneity was remarkable in included studies, and there was no significant difference in patient’s satisfaction, clinical and objective indicators, and complications, suggesting that this approach continues to be explored in clinic. The implant-supported bal attachment-retained mandibular overdenture is relatively expensive, which is identical with the current research progress that is in the exploration stage worldwide. Due to the limited quantity and quality of included studies, the conclusions of this systematic review only provide references for clinical practice and research. The implant-supported bal attachment-retained mandibular overdenture stil needs further exploration and improvement.

AIM:To investigate the inhibitory effect of rabbit lens epithelial cell(RLEC)survival and growth by propylene glycol mannate sulfate(PGMS)on the rabbit capsular bag in vitro.METHODS;Capsular bags were prepared from rabbit eyes after extracapsular cataract extraction(ECCE)and incubated in 0.2,0.4,0.8g/L PGMS in 2,5,10 minutes incubation periods.After treatment,the capsular bags were cultured for 7 days in Dulbecco minimum essential medium(DMEM)supplemented with 50mL/L fetal calf serum(FCS).The specimens were examined with light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).Capsular bags without receiving PGMS only served as controls.RESULTS:PGMS inhibited the proliferation of RLEC in the manner of concentration and time dependentment.At the threshold protocol of incubation in PGMS at 0.8g/L for 5 or 10 minutes,proliferative activity of cells were largely arrested and nearly no RLEC was seen on the posterior capsule(P＜0.05).Control group had no effect on structure and proliferative activity of RLEC,and the growth proceeded rapidly so that the posterior capsule were totally covered by a confluent monolayer of cell by the end of 7 days.Under TEM,the cells in the control group were tightly arrayed with clearly defined cellular boundary and structure;while cellular deformity and undefined intracellular structure could be seen in the 0.4g/L and 0.8g/L experimental groups.CONCLUSION:PGMS can effectively inhibit the proliferation of RLEC.

Both total proteome and differential proteins were effectively extracted, separated and selected by a combined approach of both differential centrifugation and 2D-PAGE in liver of Paralichtys olivaceus( POL) under the stress of cadmium chloride as an artificial pollution source. Approximately 800 spots for extraction of whole protein separated with 2D-PAGE were obtained by direct lysis in the POL. In addition, approximately 11 differential proteins in POL were also obtained under the stress of cadmium chloride. The differential centrifugal were used to prepare three sedimentation and a plasmolysis proteins, called POL component Ⅰ, POL component Ⅱ, POL component Ⅲ, and POL component Ⅳ(plasmolysis protein), respectively. Total protein spots for each gel were calculated to have 380, 550, 500, and 850, respectively, approximately 2280 spots in sum, while total spots are much higher than those by direct lysis approach. Using the comparison method, approximately 54 differential proteins in POL were obtained by a combined technology of both differential and two dimensional polyacylaminde gel electrophoresis(2D-PAGE) methods under the stress of cadmium chloride. In addition, these differential proteins can be further identified by peptide mass fingerprint(PMF). Here, these combined techniques can be effectively used to extract, separate and identify the whole proteins and the differential proteins including protein markers in the biological tissue.

Objective:To explore the effect of targeted nursing with evidence-based support in the treatment of craniopharyngioma via the transsphenoidal approach.Methods:A total of 70 patients with craniopharyngiomas who were admitted to the Department of Oncology of Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University from June 2018 to June 2019 were selected and all received transsphenoidal surgery in the hospital. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the lottery method, 35 cases in the control group, using conventional nursing; 35 cases in the observation group, using targeted care with evidence-based support; comparing the two groups of patients before and after care, the incidence of complications, and the length of hospital stay.Results:The scores of anxiety and depression (6.05±1.24 and 5.78±1.48) in the observation group 2 weeks after nursing were lower than those in the control group (9.95±1.73 and 10.52±1.87). The difference was statistically significant ( t value was 10.036, 10.886, P<0.05). The postoperative high fever, electrolyte imbalance, diabetes insipidus, epilepsy remission time and hospital stay in the observation group were (5.49±0.84)h, (5.46±0.39)d, (1.03±0.21)h, (6.24±2.78)d, (12.51±1.48)d, which were shorter than those in the control group (8.78±1.05)h, (8.51±0.47)d, (2.49±0.35)h, (8.97±2.80)d, (15.26±1.52)d. The difference was statistically significant ( t value were 4.093-29.545, P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group was 17.14% (6/35), which was lower than 37.14% (13/35) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 value was 4.786, P=0.029). Conclusion:Targeted nursing with evidence-based support can reduce the incidence of postoperative complications in patients with craniopharyngioma through the transsphenoidal approach, shorten the length of hospital stay, and achieve significant application results.

AIM: To investigate the association between cycloxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression and VEGF intervention as well as the inhibitory effect of Meloxicam on the cultured human pterygium fibroblasts (HPF).METHODS: Expression of COX-2 was measured by immunohistochemistry in the cultured HPF from twenty excised pterygium cases. Expression of COX-2 in HPF was measured by Western blot following the treatment of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) at the different concentrations. In addition, the effect of Meloxicam on proliferation of HPF was studied by adding the different concentrations into the cultured HPF plates by Mono-nuclear cell direct cytotoxicity (MTT) reduction assay.RESULTS: COX-2 expression was present in the cultured HPF. The level of the expression increased following VEGF treatment. The proliferation of the cultured HPF decreased following addition of the different concentrations of Meloxicam (from 75μ mol/L to 300μ mol/L) and the magnitude of the inhibition was dose-time dependent.CONCLUSION: COX-2 levels in the cultured HPF werepositively associated with VEGF stimulation and Meloxicam was inhibitory to HPF proliferation.

Objective To observe the effect of team-based continuous nursing on improving the life function of children with cerebral palsy. Methods From March 2014 to March 2016, 35 children aged 18-36 months with cerebral palsy were selected as the experimental group;35 matched patients with the same age, same gender, same Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and functionally similar were selected as the control group by matching design. Among them, 32 cases were followed up in the experimental group while 30 cases in the control group. In the control group, routine discharge education was adopted, but the experimental group was treated by team-based continuous nursing. The ability of daily living was evaluated by the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI). Neuropsychological development was evaluated by the Gesell Development Scale and Body balance was evaluated by the Berg Balance Function Scale after discharge and also after 6 months follow-up. Results After the intervention for 6 months, the functional skill and assisting assistance of PEDI was (77.56 ± 23.58), (38.78 ± 13.96) points in the experimental group, and (65.12 ± 24.23), (30.35 ± 12.78) points in the control groups, there were significant differences between two groups(t=2.0485, 2.4750, P<0.05). The scores of Gesell Development Scale was (76.12 ± 18.35) points in the experimental group, and (71.85 ± 18.46) points in the control group, there were no significant differences between two groups(P>0.05) , but the experimental group was higher than the control group. The scores of Berg Balance Function Scale was(33.20 ± 4.12) points in the experimental group, and (29.67 ± 4.98) points in the control group, there were significant differences between two groups (t = 3.0488, P<0.05). Conclusions To improve the life function of children with cerebral palsy, the implementation of the team-based continuous nursing had a significant effect.
