Herald of Medicine 2015;34(12):1572-1575
Objective To investigate the effect of resveratrol ( Res ) on the expression of survivin, p27 protein in human renal cell carcinoma 786-0 cells. Methods The cell cycle and apoptosis of 786-0 cells were detected by flow cytometry, and the expression of survivin and p27 protein of 786-0 cells was detected by Western blotting at time point of 12, 24 and 48 h after human renal cell carcinoma 786-0 cells were cultured with Res ( 25μmol·L-1 ) and blank medium, respectively. Results The ratio in G1 phase [(64.87±3.76)%] and G2 phase [(9.91±0.82)%] in the experimental group decreased significantly (P<0.05), and the ratio of S phase [(25.05±3.12)%] increased significantly (P<0.05).The apoptosis rate of experimental group at 12, 24 and 48 h [(5.12±0.64)%, (5.71±0.49)%, (5.84±0.30)%] was significantly higher than that of the control group [ ( 0. 72 ± 0. 27 )%, ( 0. 93 ± 0. 25 )%, ( 1. 12 ± 0. 21 )%, P<0. 05 ] . The expression of survivin protein in experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0. 05 ) , and the expression was significantly increased with time prolonging (P<0.05).The expression of p27 protein in experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05), and the expression level was significantly decreased in time-dependent manner (P<0.05).There was a negative correlation between the expression of survivin and p27 protein in the experimental group ( P<0.05) . Conclusion Res could inhibit the expression of p27 protein and up-regulate survivin expression level, and promote the apoptosis of renal cell carcinoma 786-0 cells.

OBJECTIVEThis longitudinal study aimed to investigate the caries status of primary and permanent teeth among 6-year-old children in Sichuan Province from 2010 to 2012.
METHODSA sample that comprised 652 6-year-old children from six different elementary schools (three represented the urban areas, and the other three represented the rural areas) were examined according to a baseline, with follow-up examinations at 1, 2, and 3 years. Eruption and caries experience were re- corded using World Health Organization criteria.
RESULTSThe prevalence rates of primary tooth caries of 6-year-old children in Sichuan Province for 3 years were 74.23% (484/652), 75.61% (493/652), and 81.90% (534/652). The filling rate of the primary teeth was 5.87% (145/2,471) in 2012, with significant differences (P < 0.01) between the urban areas [10.84% (133/ 1,227)] and rural areas [0.96% (12/1,244)]. The total pit and fissure rate of the first molar was 14.11% (92/652) in 2012, with significant differences between the two areas (P < 0.01) [rural: 0.66% (2/303); urban: 25.79% (90/349)].
CONCLUSIONThe pre- valence of caries in the primary and permanent teeth of 6-year-old children was high. An increasing prevalence tendency was observed as the age increased. The prevalence of first molar caries indicated that prevention and control of dental caries should be performed as early as possible.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between lumbar bone mineral density (BMD), musculoskeletal perfusion andmuscle mass.Methods:From May 2019 to August 2020, totally 91 patients who applied for CT perfusion (CTP) examination of abdomen (the scan range included the vertebral body of L1-L3) in Shanghai Tenth People′s Hospital of Tongji University were retrospectively analyzed. The mean BMD of L1-L3 vertebral body was measured by quantitative CT (QCT) at the same time of CT plain scan. According to BMD, the subjects were divided into normal BMD group ( n=33), osteopenia group ( n=41) and osteoporosis (OP) group ( n=17). The L3 level perivertebral muscle mass index and fat fraction were calculated based on QCT examination. The lumbar vertebral and perivertebral muscle perfusion parameters were measured based on CTP images. The parameters of QCT and CTP among three groups were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis H test or one-way ANOVA. The correlation analysis was conducted between these parameters using Pearson or Spearman analysis. Results:The differences of the perivertebral muscle mass index and fat fraction among three groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The differences of the lumbar vertebral perfusion parameters including blood flow (BF), blood volume (BV) and flow extraction product (FE) among three groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05), and BF, BV and FE were positively correlated with BMD ( r=0.444, 0.312 and 0.266 respectively, all P<0.05; adjusted for age and gender r=0.437, 0.340 and 0.337 respectively, all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in perivertebral muscle perfusion parameters among three groups ( P>0.05). Perivertebral muscle mass index was negatively correlated with fat fraction ( r=-0.599, P<0.001; adjusted for age and gender r=-0.404, P<0.001), and there was no correlation between perivertebral muscle mass index and muscle perfusion parameters, as well as perivertebral muscle fat fraction and muscle perfusion parameters. Conclusions:With the changes of BMD, bone mass and perivertebral muscle mass at L3 level are synchronous. Decreased vertebral bone mass is accompanied with reduced perivertebral muscle mass, increased muscle fat and decreased bone perfusion. The changes of vertebral perfusion and perivertebral muscle perfusion at L3 level are asynchronous, which implies that reduced perfusion in OP patients may be confined to the bone.
