BACKGROUND: It is difficult to culture human dental pulp cells in vitro. Studies regarding effects of growth factors on proliferation and differentiation of dental pulp cells cultured in vitro have been reported. However, little is known about the Chinese herb rhizoma drynariae decoction on dental pulp cells cultured in vitro.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of different concentrations of rhizoma drynariae decoction on the proliferation and differentiation of human dental pulp cells cultured in vitro.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A controlled observation was performed at the Scientific Resaarch Center, Fourth Hospital, Hebei Medical University between March 2006 and May 2007.MATERIALS: Human dental pulp cells were sourced from the patients who acquired orthotherapy through pulling out impacted wisdom tooth at the Department of Stomatology, Fourth Hospital, Hebei Medical University. Written informed content of sample collection was obtained from all patients. Rhizoma drynariae (place of production: Yunnan Province in China) was provided by the Dispensary of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Fourth Hospital, Hebei Medical University.METHODS: Human dental pulp cells were cultured in vitro using method of tissue piece. The effective ingredients of rhizoma drynariae were extracted by alcohol deposition. 1 mL of physic liquor contained 1 g crude drug and diluted into 10, 50, 100, 500, and 1000 mg/L culture medium utilizing fetal bovine serum. Subsequently, the prepared culture medium was used to culture human dental pulp cells in vitro. Cells that were cultured using culture medium without rhizoma drynariae decoction were used as controls.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Primary culture and source identification of human dental pulp cells. ②Effects of different concentrations of rhizoma drynariae decoction on proliferation of human dental pulp cells by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. ③ Effects of different concentrations of rhizoma drynariae decoction on fibronectin expression in human dental pulp cells by immunohistochemistry. ④ Effects of rhizoma drynariae decoction on ultrastructure of human dental pulp cells utilizing scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope.RESULTS: Primarily cultured human dental pulp cells displayed polygon- and shuttle-shaped appearance. Different concentrations of rhizoma drynariae decoctions, in particular 100 mg/L, exhibited proliferation-promoting effects on proliferation of human dental pulp cells, and could induce dental pulp cell synthesis and secrete fibronectin. Electron microscopy results revealed that following treatment of rhizoma drynariae decoctions, human dental pulp cells were found with abundant ridges on their surface, surround by extracellular matrix, cytoplasm full of abundant rough endoplasmic reticulum and dissociative ribosome, as well as evenly dispersed nuclear euchromatin, and occasionally seen heterochromatin.CONCLUSION: 100 mg/L rhizoma drynadae decoction apparently promotes the proliferation of human dental pulp cells cultured in vitro.

AIM: To confirm the optimum extraction of the total-saponins from Patrinia Villosa Juss. METHODS: Optimum conditions(ethanol concentration,extraction hours,ethanol solution quantity) were determined by the uniform design test,the extract was refined with macropore resin AB-8,and samples were measured colorimetrically at ?=560 nm compared with oleanolic acid as reference substance. RESULTS: The result was 95% ethanol as solvent, extraction time for 1 h adding 8 times amount of ethanol solution at 100 ℃ water bath for two times.under this condition,the total-saponins content was 0.668%,in accordance with the design forecast. CONCLUSION: The optimum extraction technique and purified methods could extract the total-saponins efficiently from Patrinia Villosa Juss.The technique is simple and adapts for production.

Objective Oral lichen planus ( OLP) is a common complaint in the oral mucosa , for which there is no definite therapy hitherto.This article aimed to investigate the possible effect of Huashi Xingyu Qingre Decoction (HXQD) on OLP. Methods This study included 30 randomly selected cases of OLP treated with HXQD .Fasting venous blood and total serum protein were obtained before and after medication for screening and identification of OLP-related differential proteins by two-dimensional fluorescence differ-ence gel electrophoresis (2D DIGE) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), followed by Western blot validation . Results Haptoglobin , antithrombin Ⅲ, C1 complement , and vitamin D binding protein were differentially expressed in the serum of the OLP patients before and after treated with HXQD .Compared with the baseline , the expression of haptoglobin was significantly in-creased (103.086 ±27.536 vs 159.704 ±24.228, P<0.05) while that of antithrombin Ⅲ remarkably decreased after treatment (150.00 ±54.04 vs 98.00 ±28.04, P<0.05). Conclusion Haptoglobin, antithrombin Ⅲ, C1 complement, and vitamin D binding protein are differentially expressed in the serum of OLP patients before and after HXQD medication , which may be associated with the development and progression of OLP .

Objective To analyze the effect of Huashi Xingyu Qingre decoction therapy through identification of the differentially expressed saliva proteins of oral lichen planus. Method The saliva of OLP patients before and after treatment were collected. Total saliva proteins were extracted. The differentially expressed saliva proteins were screened by two-dimensional fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis and identified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The differentially expressed proteins were analyzed by Western-blot. Results Six differentially expressed proteins were identified as salivary amylase, serum albumin, IgM, carbonic anhydrase VI, zinc-α2- glycoprote and sIgA. The expression level of serum albumin, IgM, carbonic anhydrase VI and zinc-α2-glycoprotein after treatment were lower than that before. However, the expression level of sIgA was higher. The differences were statistically significant. Conclusions Some differentially expressed saliva proteins of OLP before and after Huashi Xingyu Qingre decoction therapy are characterized, and they may play a vital part in the occurrence and development of OLP.

Objective:The aim of this study was to explore the applicative effects of immune-enhanced enteral nutrition(Supportan) in preoperative preparation for patients with colorectal carcinoma.Methods:56 colorectal carcinoma patients with mid-severe malnutrition were randomly divided into two groups,experiment group and control group,each of 23.Experiment group was administrated with immune-enhanced enteral nutrition(Supportan).Control group was administrated with common enteral nutrition(Nutrison Fibre).Nutritional status,immunological function,inflammatory factor and the satisfaction of colon were observed.Results:After enteral nutrition,the plasma albumin,prealbumin,IgG,IgM,CD4+ T cells and the ratio of CD4+/ CD8+ were higher in experiment group than in control group and TNF-?,IL-6 and PGE2 were lower in experiment group than in control group.Conclusions:Immune-enhanced enteral nutrition(supportan) can improve nutritional status,strengthen immunological function,and decrease inflammatory reaction in the colorectal carcinoma patients with mid-severe malnutrition.

Objective To investigate the effects of PTEN and KAI1 double gene transfection on proliferation,metastasis in AsPC1 pancreatic cancer cells under hypoxic condition.MethodsRecombinant vectors that over expressing PTEN and KAI1 protein which was established previously were double transfected into hypoxic AsPC1 cells.Western blot was performed to measure the expression level of PTEN and KAI1.Then,cell proliferation was detected by MTT,and colony forming assay were used to test the ability of tumor cells forming colonies,and transwell assay was used to evaluate metastatic function.ResultsAfter double gene trnsfection,both PTEN and KAI1 protein expression was significantly up-regulated,which was 2.05 and 1.5 1 folds higher than that of empty vector group; and cell proliferation of hypoxic AsPC1 cells was suppressed significantly (0.5 vs 0.8,P =0.00031 ),number of colony formation was significantly decreased [ (41.67 ± 5.03) vs (86.00 ± 7.81 ),P =0.017) ] ; the capacity of metastasis was significantly decreased (0.68 ± 0.05 vs 1.23 ± 0.03,P =0.0025 ).ConclusionsDouble gene transfection of PTEN and KAI1 could inhibit proliferation and metastatic activity of hypoxic AsPC1 cells,which might indicate that combined gene therapy may play a role in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
