Journal of Practical Stomatology 2014;(2):161-164
Objective:To evaluate the influence of cervical collar height on the compressive strength of CAD/CAMzirconia-ceramic restoration.Methods:Zirconia cores were manufactured and divided into 5 groups (n =1 0)based on the cervical collar height(mm):0.0(A),1 .0(B),1 .5(C),2.0(D)and 2.5(E).After veneered with porcelain,all the samples were cemented on the metal tooth analog and then mounted in an universal test machine.The force was applied at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min until catastrophic fail-ure occurred.Fracture loads and failure modes were recorded.Results:Mean of the fracture strength values(kN)in group A,B,C, D and E were 0.95 ±0.39,1 .29 ±0.50,1 .54 ±0.28,2.04 ±0.1 9 and 2.27 ±0.53 respectively(among groups,P <0.05).Two types of fracture modes were observed:chipping of the veneering porcelain and fracture of the veneering porcelain together with the framework.Conclusion:Zirconia coping design with 1 .5 mm cervical collar height may increase the compressive strength of CAD/CAMzirconia-ceramic restoration.

Objective To elucidate the mechanism of radiation resistant effect of LyGDI on NSCLC A549 cells.Methods A549 and H460 cells were irradiated with X-rays of 0,2,4 and 6 Gy.The clone-forming assay was used to detect cell survival and radiosensitivity.The expressions of LyGDI and COX-2 (Cyclooxygenase-2),a key radiosensitivity-related protein,were detected using Western blot.The miR-34 families were analyzed with RT-PCR.50 nmol/L mature miR-34c was transfected into A549 cells.Results The expression levels of LyGDI and COX-2 were much higher in radioresistive A549 cells than that in H460 cells.While the expression of miR-34a was quite low and miR-34b/c was hardly found in both NSCLC cells.Transfection of miR-34c into A549 cells strongly enhanced X-ray induced apoptosis by inhibiting the activations of LyGDI,COX-2,Bcl-2 and p21.Conclusions Up-regulation of LyGDI could induce COX-2 expression.The low expression of miR-34 family might be responsible for the radiation resistance of NSCLC cells.

Objective: To study influence of glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) complicated coronary heart disease (CHD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods: A total of 100 DM+CHD patients after PCI were selected from our hospital.According to HbA1c level, they were divided into HbA1c<6.5% group (n=48) and HbA1c≥6.5% group (n=52).Levels of C reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and interleukin (IL)-6 before PCI, incidence rate of MACE on six and 24 months after PCI were compared between two groups.Results: Compared with HbA1c<6.5% group before PCI, there were significant rise in serum levels of CRP[(18.5±6.2) mg/L vs.(25.8±4.2) mg/L]and TNF-α[(32.4±12.3) ng/L vs.(48.3±11.8) ng/L]in HbA1c≥6.5% group, P<0.01 both.On six months after PCI, incidence rate of myocardial infarction in HbA1c≥6.5% group was significantly higher than that of HbA1c<6.5% group (9.62% vs.0, P=0.028);24 months after PCI, compared with HbA1c<6.5% group, there were significant rise in incidence rates of myocardial infarction (2.08% vs.15.38%) and diseased vessel restenosis (12.50% vs.32.69%) in HbA1c≥6.5% group (P<0.05 all).Conclusion: In DM+CHD patients after PCI, those with lower HbA1c level possess better prognosis.

AIM: To explore the effect of receptor tyrosine kinase system mediated by phosphotyrosine phosphatase (PTP) on tau phosphorylation in rat hippocampus. METHODS: Pervanadate (PVN), inhibitor of PTP or inhibitor of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3), LiCl were injected into rat hippocampus by stereotaxy technique. The level of tau phosphorylation was detected by Western blot and immunohistochemistry after 24 h of injection. RESULTS: PVN significantly inhibited tau phosphorylation at PHF-1 epitope and the inhibition of tau phosphorylation by PVN was stronger than that of LiCl (P

Objective To elucidate the function and regulatory mechanism of LyGDI involved delayed cell death in the human K562 cells and HL-60 cells induced by 60Co γ-rays. Methods Erythrosine B cells staining was used to count the apoptosis rate. PI staining and flow cytometry were applied to check the cell cycle. The expression of LYGDI and Rac1 was resolved by Western blot by using monoclonal antibody of LyGDI and Racl. The distribution of Racl protein in cells was observed with immunofluorescence by using the confocal microscope. Results The K562 cells showed G2/M phase arrest and the percent age was 71.3%. The apoptosis rate was very low at early post-irradiation stage in the K562 cells. The apoptosis rate was 14% in the K562 cells at 24 h post-irradiation with 8 Gy of γ-rays, and delayed cell apoptosis was present. LyGDI was cleaved in the K562 cells irradiated by 4 Gy 60 Co γ-rays after 24 hours post-irradiation. The expression of Racl protein was not altered at all, but the distribution was changed in the irradiated cells while the Racl protein moved to cell membrane and a little in cell nucleus. The Racl was activated with the losing the binding affinity with the LyGDI. Conclusion LyGDI could promote the delayed cell apoptosis, which is through the activation of the Rac1.

Objective: To investigate the protective effect of shenduqing Granules on chronic renal insufficiency in rats. Methods: The rat model of chronic renal insufficiency was made by feeding 0.75% adenine forage. The blood biochemical indexes, ion concentration in serum of rat was measured and the pathological changes of rat kidney were observed. Results: Shenduqing Granules obviously increased thymus index (TI). The weight of rat kidney in the treatment group was lighter than that of the model group. The kidney histomorphological study showed that Shenduqing Granules obvionsly reduce the pathological changes. The drug crystals were also reduced. Conclusion: Shenduqing Granules has the potential protection against chronic renal insufficiency in rats.

AIM: To investigate the effects of intracellular free calcium ([Ca 2+ ]i) from different resources on the proliferation mediated by mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). METHODS: Cultured VSMCs were used in all experiments. Calcium influx was stimulated by angiotension Ⅱ(AngⅡ). The release of intracellular calcium stores was induced by inositol trisphosphate(IP 3) and ryanodine(RY). MAPK activity was measured by [?- 32 P]-ATP incorporation , MAPK protein expression by western blot, VSMCs proliferation by -Leucine(-Leu) and -Thymidine(-TdR) incorporation. RESULTS: Compared to the control VSMCs, AngⅡ, IP 3 and RY significantly increased [Ca 2+ ]i concentration , activity of MAPK and its protein content in VSMCs. The promotion of -Leu and -TdR incorporation in VSMCs was also observed ( P

In order to prevent the teaching reform of organ system curriculum from fall of teaching quality, the teaching effect of organ system curriculum and subject curriculum system in teaching the basic knowledge of pathophysiology was compared. In organ system curriculum teaching, there was no difference between the grades of students in Batch 2011 and Batch 2012 who conformed to the teaching principle of "gradual improvement" and those of the students taught with subject curriculum system. On the contrary, the students of Batch 2013 and Batch 2014 with insufficient curriculum content integration had a decreasing trend or a significant reduction in the teaching effect of organ system curriculum compared with that of subject curriculum system. After the supplementary for curriculum knowledge was made, the teaching effect of the organ system was significantly improved, which was better than that of the subject curriculum system. In conclusion, we have summarized and reflected on the effectiveness of the teaching reform of organ system curriculum, once again proved that basic medical teaching must also follow the inherent law of medical education, which is the teaching principle of "gradual improvement."
