It is well known that the macrophages play an important defensive role in the innate immune system. During recent years, with the introduction of the concept of chronic low-grade inflammatory diseases and their further intensive study, the activation and balance of macrophage, as well as its inflammatory effects in chronic lowgrade inflammatory diseases, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, and non-alcoholic fatty liver, are gradually becoming a hot topic of current research. The present article mainly gives an overview of the important role played by macrophages in the inflammatory effects in these diseases.

Objective To investigate the effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields(PEMF)on the bone mineral density(BMD)and serum level of transforming growth factor-beta 1(TGF-?1)in the disuse osteoporosis(DOP)rats.Methods Eighty 4-month-old female SD rats were randomly divided into 4 matched groups according to their weight:control group(INT group),DOP group,calcitonin group(CT group)and PEMF group.Rats in INT group were raised with the average amount of food consumed by the DOP rats.Right hindlimbs of rats in DOP,CT and PEMF groups were immobilized by tibia-tail fixation to establish DOP model as Zarzhevsky described.Rats in CT group were injected with calcitonin(2 IU/kg,i.p,once a day),and rats in group PEMF were irradiated with PEMF(8 Gs,15 Hz,a pulse time of 8 ms)immediately after operation.The rats(5 animals per time of each group)were killed at 1,2,4 and 8 weeks after operation and their right hindlimbs were resected.The BMD and serum TGF-?1 concentration were measured with a dual energy X-ray bone densitometer and ELISA respectively.Results Significant difference was observed in the femur proximal BMD between rats with right hindlimb immobilization(DOP group)and INT group 2 weeks later(P

This article discussed the establishment, result examination, existing limit, and solutions of animal models of endometriosis with TCM symptoms.

Objective: To investigate the adhesive characteristics of two kinds of light-curing resin that was used to bond teeth and orthodontics brackets. Methods: A total of 60 premolar teeth were randomly divided into six groups, and brackets were bonded according to the manufacturers' instructions. In group A1, A2 and A3, the teeth were prepared using 100 ml/L polyacrylic acid, and the brackets were bonded using Fuji Ortho LC. In group B1, B2 and B3, the teeth were using self-etching primer, and the brackets were bonded using Transbond Plus Self Etching Primer (TPSEP). After 30 min and 24 h under room temperature and received cold-heat cycle treatment respectively, bond strength was measured using a testing instrument (2000S, Lloyds Instruments, Fareham, England) at a speed of 1 mm/min, and the residual adhesive was quantified using a stereomicroscope. The adhesive interface was observed by scanning electron microscope. Results: The bond shear strength of TPSEP and Ortho Glass LC are more than 5 MPa. The bond shear strength of TPSEP is stronger than that of Ortho Glass LC after 24 h. However,The adhesive remnant index (ARI)of TPSEP is higher than that of Ortho Glass LC. Conclusion: Transbond Plus Self Etching Primer and Ortho Glass LC can satisfy the clinic need of orthodontics.

Objective:To explore the difference in susceptibility to high-fat diet induced obesity in rats,as well as the changes of serum proteins. Method:Forty male SD rats were divided into basic group and high-fat diet group randomly. After 5w feeding DIO(diet-induced obesity)and DIO-R(diet-induced obesity resistance) rats were selected according to their body weight gain. The rats were sacrificed and the changes of serum proteins were screened using WCX2 proteomic chips made by American Ciphergen Biosystems. Results: DIO rats were significantly different from DIO-R rats in body weight,body-fat ratio,blood glucose and blood lipids. At the molecular weight range between 2 to 100 ku,the proteins with molecular weight of 7 945 and 9 513 were significantly expressed differently between DIO and DIO-R rats,and the proteins with molecular weight of 4496, 6152, 6267 were significantly expressed differently between DIO-R and control rats (the rats were fed basic diet). Conclusion:Different susceptibility to DIO or DIO-R was found in SD rats when they were fed high-fat diet. The differentially expressed serum proteins between DIO rats and DIO-R were observed,which might provide the basis for further isolation,purification and identification of these proteins.

Objective: To explore influence of trimetazidine on cardiac function, levels of inflammatory factors, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and homocysteine (Hcy) in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) and its therapeutic effect.Methods: A total of 120 patients diagnosed as CHF in our department were selected.According to random number table, they were randomly and equally divided into routine treatment group and trimetazidine group (received trimetazidine based on routine treatment group, 20mg/time, twice/d), both groups were treated for six months.Left ventricular relaxation time (LVRT), E peak decrease time (EDT), early diastolic peak velocity/late diastolic peak velocity (E/A), left atrial diameter (LAD), levels of interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, BNP and Hcy were measured and compared between two groups before and after treatment.Results: After six-month treatment, total effective rate of trimetazidine group was significantly higher than that of routine treatment group (93.3% vs.80.0%, P=0.032);compared with routine treatment group after treatment, there were significant reductions in LVRT [(92.1±4.6)ms vs.(74.5±2.7)ms], EDT [(165.3±5.1)ms vs.(139.2±3.9)ms] and LAD [(41.1±2.6)mm vs.(33.1±1.8)mm], and significant rise in E/A [(0.89±0.21) vs.(1.16±0.51)] (P<0.01 all);and significant reductions in serum levels of IL-6 [(16.3±2.8) ng/ml vs.(11.3±1.3) ng/ml], TNF-α [(3.17±0.99) ng/ml vs.(2.01±1.12) ng/ml], BNP [(311.4±27.9)pg/ml vs.(278.2±31.3) pg/ml] and Hcy [(15.6±4.2) pg/ml vs.(11.3±2.7) pg/ml] in trimetazidine group, P<0.01 all.Conclusion: Trimetazidine can significantly improve heart function, reduce inflammatory factor levels and inhibit atrium remodeling in patients with congestive heart failure, and the therapeutic effect is significant.

Objective To investigate whether intranasal dexmedetomidine prevents the emergency delirium after sevoflurane-based anesthesia (ASA) in children.Methods Ninety children (ASA I,2 to 7years) undergoing elective tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy,were randomly divided into group D1 (intranasal dexmedemidine 1.0 μg/kg),group D2 (intranasal dexmedemidine 0.5 μg/kg),and group NS (intranasal normal saline).Anesthesia was induced with sevoflurane (30 min after intranasal administration) and maintained with sevoflurane in 50/50％ O2/N2O.Heart rate (HR),blood pressure (BP),and hemoglobin oxygen saturation (SpO2) were monitored before intranasal administration to 2 hours after extubation.Time of operation and extubation were recorded.Pediatric anesthesia emergence delirium (PAED) scale,Modified Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Pain Scale (m-CHEOPS) Pain scale and the adverse effects were observed.Results The PAED scales of group D1 and Group D2 were significantly lower than group NS.No significant differences were found in hemodynamic and respiratory variables,pain scale,time of extubation and adverse effects among three groups.Conclusions Intranasal dexmedetomidine decreased the severity of emergence delirium after sevoflurane-based anesthesia in children without prolonging the time to extubate and affect hemodynamics and respiratory variables.
