Objective:To investigate the efficiency of carbon nanotube(CNT)-PAMAM mediated entrance of anti-survivin oligonucleotide into HepG2 cells,and its effects on the proliferation of HepG2 cells.Methods:CNT-PAMAM-anti-survivin oligonucleotide compounds were prepared and characterized by AFM and 1% agarose gel electrophoresis analysis.TEM was used to observe the distribution of CNT-PAMAM-ASODN compounds in HepG2 cells.CNT-PAMAM-ASODN compounds were added into the medium and co-cultured with HepG2 cells for 24 h,48 h,72 h,and 96 h at 37℃,5% CO_2.MTT method was used to detect the effects of ASODN and CNT-PAMAM-ASODN on the proliferation of HepG2 cells.Results:CNT-PAMAM-ASODN compounds were successfully synthesized via AFM and agarose gel electrophoresis.TEM showed that the compounds were located in the cytoplasm.When CNT-PAMAM-ASODN(1.0 ?mol/L)and ASODN(1.0 ?mol/L)were used for a 48 h culture,the inhibitory rates of HepG2 cells were(45.97?4.28)% for CNT-PAMAM-ASODN compounds group,(9.33?0.85)% for ASODN group,and(6.37?0.69)% for CNT-PAMAM group.CNT-PAMAM-ASODN compounds at 1.5 ?mol/L inhibited HepG2 cells by(70.22?7.25)%,and the inhibitory effects were in a time-and concentration-dependent manner.There was statistical difference between experiment group and control group(P

Objective:To investigate the effect of blocking BRCAA1 gene expression with siRNA on the proliferation of tumor cell line MCF-7 and Rb gene expression.Methods:RNAi was employed to specifically knock down BRCAA1 expression.MCF-7 cells were transfected with complexes constructed with lipids and chemically synthesized Pre-designed anti-BRCAA1 siRNAs.The total RNA was isolated and reversely transcribed after 48 h.The expressions of BRCAA1 and Rb mRNA were determined by Real-Time PCR.Results:Compared with negative control,transfected MCF-7 cells had a 42.3% decrease in expression of BRCAA1 mRNA and an 11.1% increase in Rb mRNA expression.The inhibitory rate of MCF-7 cells proliferation was(81.6?6.1)%.Conclusion:There may be some antagonistic effect between BRCAA1 gene and Rb gene in proliferation of tumor cells,which provides a potential target for anti-tumor gene therapy.

Early recognition and treatment for early warning electrocardiogram (ECG) of sudden death are very important to prevent and treat malignant arrhythmia and sudden death. Previous studies have found that R-on-T and T wave alternation, and QT interval prolongation are closely related to malignant arrhythmia or sudden death, which are included in the critical value of ECG.By analyzing the ECG characteristics of 4 patients with sudden death, we found that although the causes of the patients were different, there were transient prolongation of QT interval after premature contraction in 12 lead ECG, followed by malignant arrhythmia or sudden death. Thus, we thought that the transient prolongation of QT interval after premature contraction had a high value for warning malignant arrhythmia or sudden death. This phenomenon should be paid enough attention to reduce the risk of sudden death.

Objective:
To explore the key points of clinical diagnosis and treatment of three mesiobuccal root canals.
Methods:
In the procedure of endodontic therapy for the upper left second molar with pulpitis, through root canal exploration under a dental microscope and cone beam CT (CBCT)-assisted imaging examination, it was confirmed that the left upper second molar contained 3 roots and 5 root canals, among which the third root canal existed in the mesiobuccal root. Combined with perfect root canal preparation, cleaning, disinfection, filling and minimally invasive inlay repair, the clinical symptoms were eliminated. The patients were followed up and the related literatures were reviewed.
Results :
One- and two-year follow-ups showed that the tooth had no discomfort and could be used normally. X-ray revealed that the filling was complete, and the periapical tissue was normal. The results of the literature review showed that the incidence of three mesiobuccal root canals in maxillary second molars was 0.11%-4.2%. It is difficult to find additional root canals only by X-ray imaging. Dentists should further determine the number and anatomical shape of root canals by CBCT and operating microscopy. When there are three mesiobuccal root canals in maxillary molars, dentists should avoid overpreparation. Healthy tooth tissue is the key to good prognosis.
Conclusion
During root canal therapy, clinicians should consider the anatomical variation of the root canal, should always be alert to the existence of an extra root canal, and should use CBCT, operating microscopy, ultrasound and various auxiliary instruments to locate and treat the variant root canal.
