Objective; To elucidate the mechanism of the role of ER-a in fat metabolism by regulating the expression of ER-a in SD rats marrow mesenchymal stem cells during differentiating into adipocytes in vitro. Methods ;SD rats marrow mesenchymal stem cells were separated and cultivated. The ER-a was transfected into the rBMSCs in group one. Tamoxifen Citrate was used to restrain the expression of ER-a in group two, the group without any treatment was used as control. Western blot was used to identify the difference of ER-a expression among different groups and Oil-Red-0 staining was employed to identify the adipocytes in vitro. Results; There was significant difference between the number of lipids and different groups (P <0. 01) ,the number of lipid droplet changed concomitantly with ER-a: Low-expression ER-a group > Control group > High-expression ER-a group. Conclusion; ER-a in SD rats marrow mesenchymal stem cells may restrain the adipocyte differentiation.

Objective: To study the relation of condylar morphology with different vertical facial types in the development of patients with skeletal Ⅲ malocclusions. Methods:180 cases with skeletal Ⅲ malocclusion were divided into children(5-11 years old), adolescence(12-17 years old) and adult(18-30 years old) groups with 60 cases in each group. Orthopantomograms of the patients with different vertical facial types were retrospectively investigated by computerized cephalometric analysis. Condylar morphology were compared among different age groups of the same vertical facial type. Results:In patients with high angle, ramus height(RH) was getting bigger with ageing(P0.05). In patients with low angle h and RH in adult group were bigger than those in adolescence or in children(P

Objective:To study the difference of upper airway form and hyoid position of the adults with different vertical facial types.Methods:Cephalograms of 120 adults with different vertical facial types were retrospectively investigated by computerized cephalometric analysis.Upper airway depths and hyoid position were measured,and differences were compared between male and female,also compared among different vertical facial type groups.Results:The sagittal depth of upper airway in male was larger than that in female,but there was no statistical difference except V-LPW.Among different vertical facial types,the sagittal depths of upper airway in high angle group was smaller than that in average angle group and low angle group.There was statistical difference in hyoid position between genders,AH-SN,AH-FH and AH-C3 in male were larger than in female(P

Objective:To study the changes of iNOS expression in periodontal tissues of rats with periodontitis in orthodontic tooth movement. Methods:48 SD rats at 10 weeks were divided randomly into two groups: periodontitis teeth group and normal teeth group. The maxillary first molar was pulled mesially both in the two groups. 4 rats were executed each time after activation of pull-spring 1, 2, 3, 7,14 and 21d both in two groups. iNOS immunohistochemistry staining were done to compare the expression variations. Results: There were significant differences between the two groups in 2,3, 7, 14 and 21 d. The periodontitis teeth group had stronger positive signals. Conclusion: Periodontitis will increase the expression of iNOS in the rats periodontal tissue during tooth movement, and influence the reconstruction of periodontium.

Objective To evaluate the curative effect of stereotactic radiotherapy in pancreatic cancer in the elderly. Methods Retrospectively analyzed 65 elderly patients with pancreatic cancer were treated with stereotactic radiotherapy. The ages of patients were 60 to 86, with mean age of 71 2. The numbers of treatment were 8 to 12 times according to the tumor size and patients condition Fractional dose were 3 to 6 Gy, total dose were 32 to 54 Gy. The curve of isodose was 50%～80% Results The patients average alive time was 9 3 months after stereotactic radiotherapy The clinical benefit response rate was 61 2%. The CR+PR was 38 4% Conclusions The stereotactic radiotherapy is safe and effective method for treating elderly pancreatic cancer

Objective To study the best dose of batroxobin that protects forebrain ischemia reperfusion injury in gerbils.Methods 80 gerbils were randomly assigned to receive different dose of batroxobin (1 BU/kg, 2 BU/kg, 4 BU/kg, 8 BU/ kg, 16 U/kg or 32 BU/kg) in treatment group, NS in control group or nothing in sham-operation group. There were 10 gerbils in each group. NS (control group) or batroxobin (treatment group) was given intraperitoneally three hours before establishment of forebrain ischemia reperfusion model. Apoptotic cells were detected by TUNEL technique and the number of apoptotic cells in the hippocampal CA 1 territory was counted using Olympus microscope.Results The apoptotic cells in the treatment groups (8 BU/kg, 16 BU/kg, 32 BU/kg) markedly decreased than those in the control group and the other treatment groups (1 BU/kg, 2 BU/kg, 4 BU/kg) (all P0.05). Conclusions Batroxobin has a role of reducing neuron apoptosis after cerebral ischemia. The best dose of batroxobin that protects forebrain ischemia reperfusion injury in gerbils is 8 BU/kg.

Objective To approach the main symptoms and pulses of excessive rising of live yang in hypertensive disease. Method The symptoms and pulses of excessive rising of liver yang in hypertensive disease were collected through clinical epidemiology. The frequency of single symptom and pulse or their combinating group was statistical analyzed by multiple factor cluster analysis and principal component analysis. Result Such symptoms and pulses as lightheadedness,headache,distention of head,tantrum,insomnia,dizzy,bitter taste of mouth,red tongue,yellow tongue fur and string pulse not only can reflect the main pathogenesis,but also are the most frequently occurring reflection. Conclusion Symptoms and pulses above are the differentiation of symptoms and signs standard for excessive rising of liver yang in hypertensive disease.

Objective To study the influence of applied times of Batroxobin on neuroprotective effects in cerebral ischemic-reperfusion(IR) injury gerbils.Methods 45 gerbils were randomly divided into five groups:normal group;cerebral IR injury model group(IR group);three times group;five times group;seven times group.The later three groups were administered Batroxobin 8 U/kg by abdominal injection q.o.d with certain times respectively.The normal group and IR group were not given drug but isometric physiological saline.Flow cytometer was used to measure apoptotic neurons of the hippocampal CA1,meanwhile electronic microscope was used to detect the ultrastrctural change of the hippocampal CA1 region.Result The quantity of apoptotic neurons in the every Batroxobin groups were significantly less than those in the IR groups(all P0.05).The ultrastrctural changes in five times group were lighter than those in three times group,but no significant difference was found between five times group and seven times group.Conclusion Three times,five times and seven times of Batroxobin can reduce the number of apoptotic neurons after IR injury.However,applied five times and seven times of Batroxobin has stronger neuroprotective effect than three times.
