Objective:To investigate the effect of synthetic oligodeoxynucleotide containing CpG motifs (CpG ODN) on antibody production to recombinant hepatitis B surface antigen (rHBsAg) or hepatitis B vaccine respectively. Methods:The antigens were injected into the back leg tibialis anterior(TA) muscle of all the mice (Km breed and Balb/c breed) for two times.The serum anti HBs titers were detected by ELISA.Results:The anti HBs titers of additional CpG ODN groups are obviously higher than those of rHBsAg group or vaccine group alone, the antibody persistent time is some longer. Nevertheless, the anti HBs titers of pure breeding mice are significantly higher than those of non pure breeding mice. Conclusion:CpG ODN has enhanced efficacy for anti HBs production in immunized mice and synergetic effect can be observed in alum adjuvant of hepatitis B vaccine.

Objective:To investigate the effects of lymphocyte proliferation using the synthetic oligodeoxynucleotide containing CpG motif(CpG ODN) as immunal adjuvant immunized with the recombinant hepatitis B surface antigen(rHBsAg) in mice.Methods:BALB/c mice were randomly divided into five groups,injected into back leg tibialis anterior(TA) muscle for two times.The spleen and thymus lymphocytes proliferation was tested by MTT and()~3H-TdR incorporation respectively.Results:Analytical study showed that all groups compared with control the proliferation of spleen and thymus lymphocytes was increased obviously,except the specific proliferation of thymus lymphocyte there didn't obviously difference in CpG ODN plus vaccine group and the vaccine group.Meanwhile,the proliferation of the groups plus CpG ODN was much stronger than the not-CpG ODN groups in all the tests.Conclusion:CpG ODN has the ability stimulating the lymphocyte proliferation in mice obviously anti could have potential adjuvant effectiveness.

Objective To establish a method for the determination of Ca2 + cations in the nutritive food by ion chromatography.Methods After being digested by the mixture of nitric acid and perchloric acid,the Ca2+ cations in the nutritive food were determined by ion chromatography(IC).Results The optimum chromatographic conditions were studied thoroughly,the linear range was 0.10-500 mg/L,r=0.9998.The lowest detection limit of Ca2+ cations in nutritive food was 0.02 mg/L,RSDs were 0.50%-4.00%,the rates of recovery tested by the standard addition method were in the range of 95.0%-103.0%.Conclusion This method is simple,fast,sensitive and accurate.

Objective To test the fracture loading of extracted cracked teeth with CEREC CAD/CAM ceramic inlays/onlays. Methods All the extracted teeth were divided into two groups (A: control group; B: test group; n=15 teeth in each group). All the teeth were prepared into those imitating cracked teeth. Those teeth in group B were strengthened with CEREC CAD/CAM ceramic inlays/onlays. All teeth were thermocycled and mounted for testing and then were loaded until fracture. Results The force of anti-fracture of extracted teeth imitating cracked teeth with CEREC CAD/CAM ceramic inlays/onlays (group B) was obviously higher than that of the teeth without CEREC CAD/CAM ceramic inlays/onlays (group A). Conclusion CEREC CAD/CAM ceramic inlays/onlays can effectively prevent the crack of teeth in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the effect of taurine(Tau) on the myocardial fibrosis and its mechanism.Methods The rat model of myocardial fibrosis was built by subcutaneous injection of isoprel(Iso).And the rats were divided into control group,model group and taurine group(80,160,320 mg?kg-1?d-1).Hydroxyproline measurment was carried out for detecting collagen quantification in myocardium tissue.Histopathology changes were detected by HE staining.In vitro,the cultured neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts(CFb) were divided into control group,model group and taurine group(40,80,160mmol?L-1).The proliferation of CFb was induced by angiotensin Ⅱ(AngⅡ) and detected by the thiazoleblue(MTT)colorimetric assay.TGF-?1 level was determined by ELISA technique.The expression of cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor p27 was assessed with flow cytometry.Results In vivo,the contents of hydroxyproline were decreased in Tau(160,320 mg?kg-1?d-1) groups as compared with model group(P

Aim To investigate the effect of taurine(Tau)on the cardiac fibroblast(CFb)cell cycle and its regulatory protein expression,and to explore the underlying mechanism of Tau-inhibiting the proliferation of CFb.Methods The proliferation of cultured neonatal rat CFb was induced by Angiotensin Ⅱ and detected by the thiazole blue(MTT)colorimetric assay.Hydroxyproline measurement was carried out to detect the collagen quantification.The expression of cell cycle regulatory protein cyclin D and p27 were determined by the combination of immunocytochemical staining and image analysis software.Cell cycle and p27 were assessed via flow cytometry.Results CFb proliferation and hydroxyproline content in culture medium were markedly inhibited when CFb were treated with taurine at concentrations of 40,80 and 160 mmol?L-1 for 24 hours(P

Objective To study the effect of CEREC CAD/CAM ceramic inlay on repair of wedge-shaped defects of teeth and test its anti-fracture properties. Methods Extracted teeth were divided into control group ( n = 16) and experimental group ( n = 16) ,and prepared into imitating teeth with wedge-shaped defects. Teeth in experimental and control groups were repaired with CEREC CAD/CAM ceramic inlay and light-cured composite resin,respectively. Anti-fracture strength of teeth with wedge-shaped defects repaired with CEREC CAD/CAM was assayed on a universal testing device with its maximal loading recorded. The anti-fracture strength was compared between the 2 groups.

Objective To investigate the shape and F-actin of human periodontal ligament fibroblasts(HPDLF) under different tension stress in vitro so as to learn the stress-biological effects of HPDLF. Methods HPDLF were cultivated for 6 passages and observed morphologically and identified by immunocytochemistry to be positive anti-vimentin and negative anti-keratin. HPDLF were divided into four groups: control (without tension stress), static tension stress (5 kPa), dynamic tension stress group 1 (5 to 0 to 5 kPa at the frequency of 3/min) and dynamic tension stress group 2 (5 to 2.5 to 5 kPa at the frequency of 3/min). The cells of each group were observed at the different time points of 16, 24, 32 h. The projection areas and shapes of cells as well as the structure of F-actin were examined by laser scanning confocal microscope and immunity fluorescence technique. The relationship among tension stress, time, shape and the structure of F-actin of HPDLF was analysed. Results In the dynamic tension stress group 1 and 2, the shape and the arrangement of F-actin of some HPDLF underwent regular changes at 16, 24 h, but the changes appeared to be obvious at 32 h. In the static tension stress group, it was found the increase of interspace of HPDLF, but no obvious changes in the structure of F-actin. Conclusion Different tension stress patterns had different effects on the shape and F-actin of HPDLF. Especially in the dynamic tension stress group 2, it showed direct ratio between the cell projection areas, the average fluorescence density and different loading time.
