BACKGROUND:As an important cytokine, interleukin-6 regulates immune responses in inflammation sites and has an autocrine/paracrine activity that stimulates osteoclast formation and bone resorption, which is related to bone remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of orthodontic force on the expression of interleukin-6 mRNA in the periodontal tissue of rats.
METHODS:In situ hybridization was performed to measure the expression of interleukin-6 mRNA at 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 14 days after the application of orthodontic force on the maxil ary first molars of rats.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The expression of interleukin-6 mRNA was observed at a low level in the normal periodontal tissue of rats. After the application of force, the induction of interleukin-6 mRNA was observed to reach a maximum on day 3 and to decline thereafter. The expression of interleukin-6 mRNA can be evoked by orthodontic force but with a certain self-limiting. As a multifunctional cytokine, interleukin-6 plays a very important role in periodontal remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement.

BACKGROUND:Extensive research has been concentrated on the reconstruction of periodontium under orthodontic force. However, there are no reports regarding the expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in rat periodontium during orthodontic tooth movement. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the expression of HSP70 in rat periodontium during orthodontic tooth movement. METHODS:Rat orthodontic tooth movement models were established using NiTi extension spring with the force of 50 g. The orthodontic periodontium was col ected at 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 14 days after exerting force to detect the expression of HSP70. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:According to immunofluorescence staining, the expression of HSP70 in the periodontal tissues was increased on day 1 after exerting force, and reached the highest level on day 5, then decreased to the initial level on day 14. These results suggest that the expression of HSP70 is evoked by orthodontic force, and it may play a role in periodontal remodeling.

Objective To observe the effect of Sanqi Oral Liquid on the podocytes and the expression of slit diaphragm-associated molecules (including Nephrin, Podocin and CD2AP proteins) of diabetes mellitus (DM) rats after unilateral nephrectomy, so as to explore its mechanism for protecting renal function. Methods SD male rats were randomized into sham operation group, model group and Chinese medicine group. The experimental diabetes mellitus ( DM) model was given unilateral nephrectomy and intraperitoneal injection of 35 mg/kg of streptozocin (STZ). And then the model rats were given intragastric administration of Sanqi Oral Liquid (2.5 g· kg-1·d-1) and the same volume distilled water respectively for 8 weeks. After treatment, the density of podocytes and the podocytic foot process width of different groups were measured. Immunohistochemistry was used to observe the changes of the expression of Nephrin, Podocin and CD2AP in renal tissues of different groups. Results After treatment with Sanqi Oral Liquid, the density of podocytes was increased, the foot process lesion was relieved, and the expression levels of Nephrin, Podocin and CD2AP proteins were increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01 as compared with those in the model group). Conclusion The protective mechanism of Sanqi Oral Liquid for renal function of unilateral nephrectomy DM rats is possibly related with the alleviation of podocyte injury and with the regulation of the expression of Nephrin, Podocin and CD2AP proteins in podocytes.

Pure and drug hydrophilic matrix tablets were prepared by direct compression method with theophylline as a model drug. The characteristics of four hydrophilic matrix polymers, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), polyethylene oxide (PEO), sodium alginate (NaAlg) and xanthan gum (XG), were compared by investigating the water absorption, swelling, erosion and gel layer strength. The sequence of water absorption rate was XG >> NaAlg (H) > PEO > NaAlg (L) >> HPMC; The sequence of swelling index was XG >> PEO >> HPMC >> NaAlg; The sequence of erosion rate was NaAlg (L) > NaAlg (H) >> PEO80 > PEO200 > PEO300 > XG approximately PEO400 approximately K4M > K15M > PEO600 approximately K100M; The sequence of the gel layer strength was PEO > HPMC > XG >> NaAlg. For the PEO and HPMC matrix tablets, with the polymer molecular weight increased, the drug release mechanism was gradually transferred from mainly depending on the erosion to the diffusion; for SAL matrix tablets, the drug release mainly depends on erosion mechanism; and for XG matrix tablets, the drug release mainly depends on non-Fick diffusion mechanism. Comparison of the performance difference between the polymer materials will contribute to rational design and prediction of drug release behaviors from matrix tables and ultimately to achieve clinical needs.

Objective To investigate the effects of ursolic acid and rhynchophylline in Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis on human hepatoma HepG2 cells; To discuss its antihepatoma mechanism. Methods Culture the human hepatoma HepG2 cells with 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25 μmol/L ursolic acid, rhynchophylline for 24, 48, 72 hours respectively. 1%DMSO was set as negative control group. CCK-8 based cytotoxicity assay was used to detect the growth of HepG2. Acridine orange fluorescent staining was used to observe human hepatoma HepG2 cells cultured with 50 μmol/L ursolic acid, rhynchophylline and 1%DMSO for 48 hours were observed. Results Ursolic acid significantly acted as a disincentive to the growth of HepG2 cells, which was in positive correlation with time and concentration. Inhibited effect by rhynchophylline on HepG2 cell proliferation was weaker than ursolic acid. Pathological observation showed that most of the cells in rhynchophylline group showed cell shrinkage, dense pulp coating and nuclear staining edge set, and most of the cells in the ursolic acid group showed apoptosis late changes, such as nuclear cleavage and apoptotic bodies. Conclusion Ursolic acid and rhynchophyllinein Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis can inhibit the proliferation of HepG2 cells and can induce apoptosis.

BACKGROUND: A large number of cytokines produce in the periodontium on the tension side during orthodontic tooth movement, participate in periodontal remodeling, and make the tooth move to its normal position, thus achieving alveolar remodeling. Heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) is reported to be involved in the periodontal remodeling. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of HSP27 in the rat periodontium on the tension side during the orthodontic tooth movement.METHODS: The rat models of orthodontic tooth movement were constructed using NiTi coil spring with the force value of 50 g. The periodontal samples were collected at 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 14 days after exerting force to detect the expression level of HSP27 in the periodontium on the tension side.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Immunofluorescence staining results revealed that the expression level of HSP27 in the periodontal tissues began to increase at the 1st day after exerting force, reached the highest level at the 3rd day, and then fell to the initial level at the 5th day. To conclude, HSP27 is evoked by orthodontic force early, and it may play a role in periodontal remodeling.
