Objective:To explore the effects of myofibroblast in the pathogenesis of oral submucous fibrosis(OSF).Methods:The expressions of ?-SMA in the tissues of OSF and normal control were detected by immunohistochemistry. Fibroblasts were isolated from oral mucosa of OSF patients and healthy controls and were cultured under stimulation by arecoline.The expressions of ?-SMA in OSF fibroblasts and normal fibroblast were detected by immunocellchemistry and RT-PCR.Results:(1)No positive expression was found in normal tissues except in the blood vessel,but in OSF tissue,?-SMA positive expression was found in many spindle cells in the oral submucousal layer.(2)Few fibroblasts in vitro from normal controls were ?-SMA positive.(3)Most of the second passage of OSF fibroblasts were ?-SMA positive(85.80%?3.56%). (4)The expression of ?-SMA in fibroblasts could not be increased by the stimulation of arecoline.Conclusion:Myofibroblasts may play an important role in the pathogenesis of OSF,and the appearrence of myofibroblasts in OSF may not be directly induced by the stimulation of arecoline.

Objective:In order to elucidate the derivation and differentiation mechanisms for derivation of myofibroblasts in oral submucous fibrosis.Methods:Oral keratinocytes and fibroblasts were isolated and cultured,and a co-cultur system composed of the keratinocytes and fibroblasts was established in vitro.Expressions of ?-SMA protein and mRNA in fibroblasts were detected by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. The level of TGF-?1 in conditioned medium were evaluated by ELISA.Results:The expressions of ?-SMA mRNA and protein in fibroblasts co-cultured with keratinocytes preprocessed by arecoline was higher than that in fibroblasts co-cultured with keratinocytes and without preprocessed by arecoline. The level of TGF-?1 in conditioned medium of fibroblasts-keratinocytes preprocessed by arecoline co-cultures was higher than those of fibroblasts cultured alone.Conclusion:The derivation of myofibroblast from FB can be promoted by keratinocytes preprocessed by arecoline and TGF-?1 may play a role in the process.

Purpose: To observe the therapeutic effect of plum-blossom-magnet-needle synthetic therapy on benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Method: 219 cases of BPH patients were randomly divided into two groups. There were 149 cases in treatment group, which treated by pressing, needling with plum-blossom-magnet-needle and putting effect-increasing pads on Prostate Reflex Area, bilateral Zhongliao (BL 32), Neck 1, Neck 7, Mingmen (GV 4) and Yongquan (KI 1). There were 70 cases in control group, which treated by orally taken Terazosin Hydrochloride (Gaoteling) tablets, 2 mg/time, twice a day. The therapeutic course was 4 weeks.After one therapeutic course, the therapeutic effect was evaluated. Results: The marked effect rate was 63.3% and total effective rate was 91.8%; in the control group, there were no markedly effective cases and the total effective rate was 72.7%. There was a significant difference between two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion: The plum-blossom-magnet-needle synthetic therapy had a significant therapeutic effect for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), so it was a safe and effective therapy for BPH.

Objective Making the fusion protein of IgG-binding peptide with enhanced green fluorescent protein(EGFP) and determining its bioactivity.Methods The enhanced green fluorescent protein(EGFP) gene was cloned into pEZZ 18 vector containing ZZ peptide gene to construct expression vector pSpA-EGFP-His.The fusion protein was expressed in E.coliDH5? and its bioactivity was detected by competitive ELISA and fluorescence properties.Results The fusion protein migrated at approximately 42kD in SDS-PAGE,which correspond to the theoretical molecular weight.The spectra of SpA-EGFP fusion protein was similar to what was reported.SpA-EGFP competed with SpA-Peroxidase to bind IgG.Conclusion The plasmid pSpA-EGFP-His correctly expressed in E.coli.The fusion protein retains the bifunctional effects of EGFP and IgG-binding activity.

The relationship between the precision of the estimated sampling variances and the number of samples was quantitatively established. It revealed that the product of the standard deviation of the estimated samplingvariance and square root of the number of samples was a constant. Monte Carlo simulation technique was employed to verify the equation. Populations with Gaussian,unifohn random and multi-nomial(taking silicon carbide material as an example) distributions were studied with satisfactory results.

Objective To observe the influence of peripheral serum came from patients with hepatectomy at different time points on hepatocyte proliferation in vitro. Methods According to the different types of cultured serum, cultured HL-7702 cells were divided into fetal bovine serum (FBS) group, preoperative serum group, 0.5 h, 3 h, 24 h and 72 h post operative serum groups. All groups of cells were cultured for 72 hours in the Cell-IQ unmarked living cell image analysis system, and the amplification curves of each group were mapped by continuous counting of cells. The cell amplification multiple was compared between all groups after culturing for 72 hours. BrdU immunofluorescence staining was performed and BrdU positive rate was calculated for comparing the cell proliferation of all groups. Results Amplification curves showed that HL-7702 cell proliferation rates of all human serum groups except for 72 h post operative group were higher than those of FBS group. Human serum 0.5 h and 3 h postoperative groups were more obvious. The amplification multiples of human serum groups, except for 72 h post operative group were all significantly higher than those of FBS group (P<0.01), and 0.5 h and 3 h post operative groups were both significantly higher than those of preoperative group (P < 0.05). BrdU positive rates of all human serum groups were significantly higher than those of FBS group (P < 0.01), which were significantly higher in 0.5 h and 3 h post operative groups than those of preoperative group (P < 0.05), but there were no statistical differences between 24 h and 72 h post operative groups and the preoperative group. Conclusion Human serum can promote the proliferation of hepatocytes compared with that of FBS. The influence of serum acquired post hepatectomy is closely associated with the post operative time.
