Objective: To investigate the roles of Bcl-xl and Bcl-xs in the development and progression of endometrial carcinoma, and to explore their correlation.Methods: The expression of Bcl-xl and Bcl-xs in 32 cases of endometrial carci-noma, 12 cases of endometrial atypical hyperplasia, 6 cases of endometrial simple hyperplasia and 10 cases of normal en-dometrial tissues were examined by RT-PCR and Western-blot.Results: The expression of Bcl-xl mRNA and protein was significantly higher in endometrial cancer tissues than in normal endometrial tissues (P<0.05), and was statistically associat-ed with the pathological stage of endometrial carcinoma.(F=5.33, P=0.02).The expression of Bcl-xs mRNA and protein in atypical endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial carcinoma tissues were significantlly lower than that in normal endometri-al tissues (P<0.05), which was also associated with clinical stage and lymph node metastasis of endometrial carcinoma (P<0.05).The expression of Bcl-xl was negatively correlated with the expression of Bcl-xs in different endometrial tissues (r=-0.76).Conclusion: The abnormal expression of Bcl-xs and Bcl-xl was a factor for the pathogenesis and development of endometrial carcinoma.The negative correlation between Bcl-xl and Bcl-xs in different endometrial tissues as well as their relative expression ratio may have certain impact on the genesis of endornetrial cancer.

Objective To assess the effects of aspirin on the proliferation and apoptosis of human endometrial adenocarcinoma cells.Methods MTT assay was used to measure the effects of aspirin on the proliferation of Ishikawa cell.Flow cytometry(FCM) was employed to examine the distribution of cell cycles and the rates of apoptosis.Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe cell morphologic changes after aspirin administration.Results Aspirin inhibited the proliferation of cultured Ishikawa cells in a time-dependent and dose dependent manner(P<0.05).Aspirin increased the distribution of G,stage and the rates of cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner(P<0.05).Morphologic features of apoptosis cells,including cell shrinkage,nuclear condensation and apoptotic bodies could be found obviouslyunder the transmission electron microscopy.Conclusion Aspirin inhibited the proliferation and increased the apoptosis of human endometrial adenocarcinoma Ishikawa cells.

Objective To analyze the effect and mechanism of trichostatin A(TSA)on cell cycle in human ovarian cancer cells.Methods Human ovarian cancer cell line A2780 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 supplement.Flow cytometry analysis and RT-PCR were used to examine the distribution of cell cycles and the level of p21WAF/CIPI mRNA.Results TSA induced increase of G2/M cells increased after the treatment of TSA for 36 hours(P 0.05);the level of p21WAF/CIPI mRNA expression was upregulated after TSA treatment for 12 hours,the highest leve of its expression occurred at 24 hours,the expression level begun to decrease at 48 hours(P 0.05).TSA simultaneously induced the decrease of S phase cells in a concentration-dependent manne(rP 0.05).TSA upregulated the expression of p21WAF/CIPI mRNA in a concentration-dependent manner(P 0.05).Conclusion TSA could block the G2/M phase and inhibits cell proliferation of A2780 cells through upregulating the expression of p21WAF/CIPI mRNA and the activate cyclin-dependent kinase.

With the advancement of technology, intelligent technology has achieved unprecedented progress and breakthroughs in various fields. Dental implant robots represent a significant leap in the field of dental medical technology. This article aims to review the development of dental robot implantation technology both domestically and internationally, to compare the similarities and differences between existing dental implant methods and robotic implantation, to analyze the characteristics and current applications of robotic implantation technology, and to provide a forward-looking perspective. This review summarized 63 literatures and compared 1 176 implants, dental robot implantation demonstrates significant advantages in terms of precision, efficiency, and minimally invasive procedures. It effectively addresses issues such as implant position deviation, limited surgical visibility, and restricted operating space associated with traditional implantation methods. With widespread adoption in the future, it may reduce the overall technological expenses, and optimize its advantages and potential benefits.

Objective:To explore the expression of long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)ZIM2-AS1 in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)and its clinical significance as well as diagnostic value using the data obtained from the Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA).Meth-ods:The transcriptome sequencing(RNA-seq)data and clinical information of 374 HCC tissues and 50 paired paracancerous tissues were gathered from the TCGA database,then the expression trends of ZIM2-AS1 in HCC and its correlation with clinicopathological features,prognosis,immune cell infiltration,as well as diagnostic value was inspected by bioinformatics analysis using relevant R packages.The expression of ZIM2-AS1 in human normal liver cell line and HCC cell lines was examined by qRT-PCR.Results:The ex-pression of ZIM2-AS1 was highly expressed in HCC tissues(P<0.001),and its expression level was significantly correlated with age,gender,N stage,histologic grade and AFP level(P all<0.05).The overall survival(OS)and disease specific survival(DSS)of patients with high ZIM2-AS1 expression were significantly shorter than those of patients with low expression(P<0.05),and ZIM2-AS1 was an in-dependent risk factor affecting OS.Immune cell infiltration analysis showed that ZIM2-AS1 was closely related to the infiltration of Th2 cells,CD56brightNK cells,follicular helper T cells(Tfh),neutrophils and plasmacytoid dendritic cells(pDC)(|Spearman's r|>0.1,P<0.05)in HCC.ROC curve analysis revealed that the expression level of ZIM2-AS1 possesse potential diagnostic value in HCC,N0 stage,histologic grade G1 and G2,OS and DSS(AUC all>0.50).qRT-PCR results showed that the expression level of ZIM2-AS1 in HCC cell lines was significantly higher than that in human normal liver cells(P all<0.05).Conclusion:The elevated expression of lncRNA ZIM2-AS1 is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis of HCC patient and has potential application value as a biomarker for HCC diagnosis,prognosis as well as tumor immune microenvironment assessment.
