Objective:To investigate the effects of sodium butyrate,the most important short chain fatty acids,on growth suppression and apoptosis of SHG-44 glioma cell line.Methods:Human glioma SHG-44 cells were treated with 2 mmol/L and 4 mmol/L sodium butyrate.The inhibition of cell growth was assessed by MTT spectropotometric analysis and immunohistochemisty methods.The apoptosis was observed by reverted microscope and transmission electron microscope.And mitochondrial transmembrane potential was detected by rhodamine 123 dyeing,which confirmed that SHG-44 cells suffered a mitochondrial path apoptosis.Results:Sodium butyrate treatment resulted in significant inhibition of cell growth,with proliferating cell nuclear antigen expression weakened.Furthermore,4 mmol/L sodium butyrate could induce the SHG-44 cells apoptosis.It was proved that cellular membrane shrunk,vacuoles existed in plasm,and apoptosis bodies occurred by morphologic observation.In addition,the △?m was decreased in apoptosis cells after 4 mmol/L sodium butyrate treatment.Conclusion:These results indicate,in malignant glioma SHG-44 cells,sodium butyrate could not only suppress cell growth,but also induce apoptosis by a mitochondrial path.

Objective To investigate the effect of sodium butyrate on the growth suppression and cellular differentiation of cultured SHG 44 glioma cell line Methods Human glioma SHG 44 cells were treated with 2 mmol/L sodium butyrate The inhibition of cell growth was assessed by MTT spectrophotometric analysis and AgNORs analysis The cellular differentiation was determined by flow cytometry, electron microscopy, immunohistochemical method and agglutination test Results Treatment of SHG 44 cells with sodium butyrate resulted in significant inhibition of cell growth and G1 S transition in time dependent and dose dependent manners Sodium butyrate could induce differentiation of SHG 44 cells with regularized nuclei and increased heterochromatins The mitochondria and rough endoplasmic reticulum increased in density in normal state Furthermore, SHG 44 cells expressed more GFAP but less vimentin, and the agglutination degree decreased obviously Conclusion Sodium butyrate may suppress glioma cells growth and induce differentiation of human glioma cells

In view of the increased incidences of cardiac arrest outside hospital year by year and younger tendency of the patients,foreign medical education practice showed that school-age children accepting cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skill training will benefit most from this survival skill in the future.This article elaborated on the meaning and methods of promoting CPR training in primary and middle school based on the present situation of CPR in order to promote its further development.

Objective To explore the effect of intervention on depression and negative coping in elderly patients with chronic disease and provide a basis for mental health services. Methods Forty depression and negative coping of elderly patients with chronic disease were took psychological intervention for one year. Geriatric depression scale (GDS) and ways of coping scale (WCS) were used to assess the intervention effect. Results There was a high scores of GDS before the study (20.93?1.90)and the scores were reduced after intervention in Six months and the end of one year (17.88?1.80,11.80?1.60,respectively,P0.05). After intervention for one year,the patients applied more with positive coping styles such as problem sloving,help seeking and less with wince,illusion and self-criminating,there was a statistically significant difference (P

Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion is a common pathological state. Cognitive impairment is its main manifestation in early stage, and it will eventually result in persistent or progressive cognitive impairment and neurological deficits. Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion caused neuronal damage, synapse abnormity, energy impairment and the function defects of central cholinergic system and monoaminergic system are its pathophysiological mechanisms resulting in cognitive impairment.

BACKGROUND: Regeneration of type Ⅱ furcation defects of periodontal tissues is still a great clinical challenge. OBJECTIVE: To compare different densities of autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (auto-BMSCs) for repairing canine experimental class Ⅱ furcation defects of periodontal tissues. DESIGN: A randomized controlled trial. SETTING: Laboratory in Stomatological Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University and Department of Animal Experiment in Fuzhou General Hospital. MATERIALS: Experiments were performed at the Laboratory in Stomatological Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University and Department of Animal Experiment in Fuzhou General Hospital of Nanjing Military Area Command of Chinese PLA from July 2005 to September 2006. Six 18-month Beagle dogs were provided by Department of Animal Experiment in Fuzhou General Hospital of Nanjing Military Area Command of Chinese PLA. Animal intervention met animal ethical standards. Bio-Gide collagen membrane and BME-10X collagen membrane were used in the study.METHODS: Class Ⅱ furcation defects were induced surgically on the buccal side of canine mandibular second and third premolar (P2, P3) and first molar (M1). The ex vivo expanded auto-BMSCs from six 18-month Beagle dogs were seeded in BME-10X collagen membranes at cell density of 5×108 L-1，5×109 L-1，5×1010 L-1, and delivered into experimental class Ⅱ furcation defects, underneath a Bio-Gide membrane. Bio-Gide membrane alone was used as a control. The percentage of new cementum length and percentage of new alveolar bone area were measured on OLYPUS IX 71 inverted research microscope and OLYSIA BioAutoCell software in a computer.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Each specimen was stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The lengths of new cementum and the area of new alveolar bone were calculated.RESULTS: The percentage of newly formed cementum length and the percentage of newly formed alveolar bone area were (51.5±5.6)% and (27.1±7.7)% in the control group,（84.8±8.9）% and（30.6±7.7）% in the 5×108 L-1 BMSCs group, (91.8±5.2)% and (68.3±11.4)% in the 5×109 L-1 BMSCs group and (88.8±7.2)% and (78.5±12.7)% in the 5×1010 L-1 BMSCs group. There were significant differences when comparing the BMSCs groups to the control group (P < 0.01), but there was no significant difference in each BMSCs group. There were significant differences in the percentage of newly formed alveolar bone when comparing the 5×109 L-1 and 5×1010 L-1 BMSCs groups to 5×108 L-1 BMSCs group and control group (P < 0.05), but there was no significantly difference between the first two groups, and neither was the later.CONCLUSION:Periodontal regeneration can be induced by BMSCs transplantation. The mechanism of regeneration is associated with inoculated density.
