Objective:To study the association between mutations in the first and second exons of(Succtnate dehydrogenaes complex,subunit D(SDHD)gene and sporadic pheochromocytoma in Chongqing Methods:Polymerase chain reaction combining with single strand conformation polymorphism(PCR-SSCP)was selected to analysis the mutations in the first and second exons of SDHD gene in 32 cases of sporadic pheochromocytoma who were diagnosed by pathology(including 21 cases of pheochromocytoma and 11 cases of extra-adrenal paraganglioma)and 80 cases of the healthy controls.Results:No mutation was found in the first and second exons of SDHD gene in the 32 patients.Conclusion:In our study,we had not found any mutation in the first and second exons of SDHD gene in sporadic pheochromo-cytoma in Chongqing.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is regarded as an inherited cardiac disorder caused by autosomal dominant mutations.It has the remarkable heterogeneity of hereditary capacity,clinical phenotype,clinical course and prognosis,thus the diagnosis and treatment of this disease is challenging.Assistant examinations,such as Doppler tissue imaging,quantitative tissue velocity imaging,tissue strain imaging,cardiac magnetic resonance and late gadolinium enhancement,are important to early diagnose,guide management and judge prognosis for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.This paper reviews the progresses of assistant examinations in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

BACKGROUND: Oyster shell has been recently reported as a new root canal filling material; therefore, it needs primary biological evaluation, i.e., cytotoxicity test and genotoxicity test, before clinical application. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of oyster shell powder. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A contrast observational study was performed at the Materials Laboratory, School of Stomatology of Peking University from April to July 2008. MATERIALS: Oyster shell powder was provided by Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences; L929 cell strain and Salmonella typhimurium TA97, TA98, TA100, and TA102 were provided by the National Institute for the Control of Pharmaceutical and Biological Products. METHODS: Oyster shell diffusion was prepared based on the times of 0.5, 1, and 2. According to the standards of biological evaluation of dental materials, the cytotoxity and genotoxicity of oyster shell were evaluated with molecule filter test and Ames test. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Fading area of the film induced by succinic dehydrogenase and amount of spontaneous revertants. RESULTS: After 2 hours, the results indicated that fading area of the film in the experimental group was the same as negative control, i.e., fading was not found in the film, and cytotoxicity was grade 0. After 24 hours, diameter of non-stained film was 1.0-2.0 mm, fading area was 1-3 mm2, and cytotoxicity was grade 1, suggesting that the material had light cytotoxity that was still qualified. The spontaneous revertant test indicated that the mutagenicity of experimental groups was no more than 2 times of the control groups, suggesting there was no dose-dependence. CONCLUSION: Oyster shell powder has no cytotoxicity and genotoxicity on the organism.

BACKGROUND: Induced pluripotent stem cells are obtained from somatic cells by reprogramming method. The safety of induced pluripotent stem cells has attracted much attention because of their huge and potential value in clinical application. OBJECTIVE: To review the current studies addressing the safety and clinical application of induced pluripotent stem cells. METHODS: The PubMed database between 2006 and 2012 was retrieved by the first author to search the correlative documents concerning the safety and clinical application of induced pluripotent stem cells. Total y 203 papers were primarily gotten. Final y, 47 papers were included. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At present, the main methods to enhance the safety of induced pluripotent stem cells include avoiding usage of c-Myc gene, another mediate way replacing the retrovirus, direct leading of reprogramming factor protein, safer donor cells, micromolecule compound and other in-transgenosis ways. Induced pluripotent stem cells have extensive clinic treatment prospects, and can be used for the build of disease-specific induced pluripotent stem cells line.

As a special branches of capillary electrophoresis(CE), nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE) was variedly applied in the recent years. A brief summary on solvent properties and molecular interactions in nonaqueous solutions are introduced. Discussing of the approaches employed to enhance and tune selectivity in NACE. Special detection techniques for NACE are presented. Furthermore, a list of relevant applications in biological sample and its metabolin and also in pharmaceutical since 2000 is included, and also take perspective for NACE.

Objective Summarize the nursing experiences of abdominoscope for patients with ovarian cysts. Methods Enough preoperative evaluation, careful perioperative nursing and observation were used in 150 patietns with ovarian cysts when cured by abdominoscope. Results All the patients had accepted succesful operation, there were no intensive complication among the patients. Conclusions Proper nursing measures should be developed with therapeutic laparoscopy, nursing cares according to the operation can effetive shorten the course of rehabilitation for patients.

Objective:To study the effects of receptor activator of nuclear factor-kB ligand-RANKL in osteoblasts (OBs) activiated by Porphyromonas endodontalis(Pe),and to investigate the bone resorptive pathogenesis induced by Pe.Methods:Primary rat calvarial osteoblasts were cultured, then were infected with Pe ATCC 35406 at the density of 107 and 109 CFU/ml respectively for 24 h.To determine the kinetic effect of Pe on OBs,107 CFU/ml of Pe was used to stimulate the cells for 0,6,12,18 and 24 h respectively, RT-PCR were used to examine the RANKL mRNA expression.Results:The grey level ratio of RANKL mRNA expression to ?-actin in untreated OBs was 0.32,that in the cells infected by 107 and 109 CFU/ml of Pe for 24 h was increased to 1.73 and 2.24 respectively.Infected by 107 CFU/ml of Pe for 6,12 and 18 h,the ratio was 0.93,2.01 and 1.97 respectively.Conclusion:Pe may stimulate RANKL expresson in osteoblasts.

Objective:To investigate the effects of LPS on the IL-6 expression in osteoblasts.Methods:Rat calvarial osteoblasts were primarily cultured. LPS from Escherichia coli with different concentration were administrated. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to identify the IL-6 mRNA expression of the cells. The intensities of electrophoresis bands were measured. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect IL-6 protein production. The data were analyzed with SPSS 10.0 software package.Results:E. coli LPS with concentrations of 1?10-5 g/L-1?10-3 g/L induced IL-6 mRNA and IL-6 protein expression in osteoblasts. Statistically significant differences were detected at concentrations 1?10-4,1?10-3 g/L E.coli LPS.Conclusion:LPS can increase the expression of IL-6 in osteoblasts in the gene and protein levels. IL-6 may play an important role in the alveolar bone metabolism.

This paper reported activation of mice peritoneal macrophages by Sheng Ji Ointment (a Chinese traditional ointment for external application) were markedly inhibited from migrating out of capillary tubes by Sheng Ji Ointment. The source of Elephantine hide(象皮)is in short supply. Whether we Can use Cattlehide (牛皮)instead of the Elephatine hide for the Sheng Ji Ointment,the migrating inhibited effects of both are similar. The experimental results may throw some light on their clinical application.
