Objective:To evaluate the microtensile bond strength of total-etch or self-etch adhesives to caries-affected dentine versus normal dentine. Methods:Twenty-four extracted human molars with mesial coronal carious lesions extending into mid-dentin were selected. The softened carious dentine was removed with a slow-speed, carbon-steel bur and Caries Marker was used as guides. Prepared cavity in sound dentine in the distal coronal part of the identical teeth was used as the control. Surfaces were bonded with either Prime&Bond NT, Adper Single Bond 2, Adper Prompt or XenoⅢ,according to manufactures' recommendations. A crown was built up using resin composite(Filtek P60).After storage in water (37 ℃,24 h),teeth were vertically serially sectioned into 1.0 mm thick slabs and trimmed to yield 1 mm2 test area that contained either caries-affected or normal dentine. Then the specimen were tested in tension in an Instron machine at 0.8 mm/min.The bonding interface between the dentine and adhesives was qualitatively evaluated under the observation of scanning electron microscope(SEM). Results:Two total-etch adhesives yielded higher bond strengths than the two self-etching systems. And all the adhesives attained higher strengths in normal than in caries-affected dentine(P

Objective: To investigate the effects of HPV16E6-ribozyme on telomerase activity in cervical carcinoma cell line CaSKi and the related mechanisms. Methods: Anti-HPV16E6-ribozyme and blank eucaryotic plasmids were transfected into CaSKi cells via lipofectin, and the resultant cells were named as CaSKi-R and CaSKi-P, respectively. The expression of ribozyme in transfected cells was observed by RNA dot blotting. The expression of E6 mRNA and protein in the 3 kinds of cells were detected by Northern blotting and Western blotting, respectively. Telomerase activity was determined by TRAP-Elisa method; the expression of P53, c-myc, hTERT and hRT mRNA were examined by RT-PCR.Results: RNA dot blotting showed that anti-HPV16E6-ribozyme was stably expressed in transfected CaSKi-R cells. Western blotting showed that the expression of E6 mRNA and protein in CaSKi-R cells was obviously lower than that in CaSKi and CaSKi-P cells. The telomerase activities in CaSKi,CaSKi-P and CaSKi-R cells were (0.89?0.14), (0.90?0.11) and(0.36?0.06),respectively. The inhibitory rate of telomerase activity in CaSKi-R cells was 59.55%, which was significantly lower than those in CaSKi and CaSKi-P cells (P

Objective: To investigate the characteristics of the cultured cervical cancer cell line transfected with anti HPV16E6 ribozyme, and to investigate the possibility and practicality of ribozyme in treatment of cervical cancer. Methods: The anti HPV16E6 ribozyme and empty eucaryotic expressing plasmids were transfected by lipofectin transfection into CaSKi cell, which named as CaSKi R, CaSKi P respectively. The morphology and the soft agar forming ability were studied. The expression of E6, PCNA and C erbB 2 genes was studied through Flow Cytometry. The tumorgenicity of each cell was detected by injecting cells into the nude mice skin. Three groups of nude mice were injected by CaSKi, CaSKi R and CaSKi P cell separately. Another group of mice was injected by CaSKi cell on right side and CaSKi R cell on left side. Results: There is no distinct difference of the morphology and growth rate between CaSKi and CaSKi P, but the growth rate of CaSKi R decreased. The soft agar forming rate of CaSKi P was similar with that of CaSKi cells, while that of CaSKi R was found decreased. The result of flow cytometric analysis showed that anti HPV16E6 ribozyme could reduce the expression of E6, PCNA and C erbB 2 genes on CaSKi R cells, while this phenomenon was not found on the CaSKi P cells. The tumorgenicity of CaSKi R in nude mice was decreased compared with CaSKi and CaSKi P cells. Conclusion: Anti HPVE6 rivozyme could partly reverse the malignant phenotypes of CaSKi cells. The reason may be the decrease of E6 gene expression, and the succeeding decrease of the PCNA and C erbB 2 genes′ expression.

Objective To study the relationship between red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and the malignant arrhythmia event of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) during hospitalization. Methods A retrospective study was conducted. The clinical data of patients with CHF admitted to Department of Emergency and Cardiology of Peking University Third Hospital from January 2014 to February 2016 were reviewed. The patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ at hospital admission and courses lasted at least six months were enrolled. The patients were divided into two groups according to malignant arrhythmia events (ventricular tachycardia, ventricular flutter or ventricular fibrillation) during hospitalization, i.e. malignant arrhythmia group and non-malignant arrhythmia group. The value of RDW and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were compared between two groups, and correlation of RDW, LVEF and malignant arrhythmia events by Spearman rank correlation analysis were studied, and the predictive value of RDW and LVEF for malignant arrhythmia events in patients with CHF was analyzed with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results A total of 226 CHF patients were enrolled with 148 male and 78 female, the average age was (61.52±13.27) years old (range: 26-91 years old), the average hospitalization days were (14.5±3.5) days (range: 14-21 days), and malignant arrhythmia occurred in 102 patients (45.13%) during hospitalization. There were no statistically differences in gender, age, past history, etiology of heart disease, the usage of angiotensin receptor converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin Ⅱ receptor inhibitors (ARB) and beta blockers, serum potassium levels and so on between two groups. Compared with non-malignant arrhythmia group, the value of the RDW was significantly increased in malignant arrhythmia group [(13.28±1.07)% vs. (12.87±1.32)%, t = 2.531, P = 0.012], but the levels of LVEF was significantly reduced (0.425±0.116 vs. 0.458±0.104, t = 2.249, P = 0.026), the proportion of patients with NYHA Class Ⅱ was significantly lower (4.90% vs. 19.35%, χ2= 10.451, P = 0.000) and that of NYHA Class Ⅳ was just the opposite (57.84% vs. 41.13%, χ2 = 6.264, P = 0.011). The value of the RDW showed positively correlation with the malignant arrhythmia events (r = 0.758, P = 0.023), while LVEF was negatively correlated (r = -0.719, P = 0.019). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for predicting the malignant arrhythmia events of RDW and LVEF was 0.882 [95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.839-0.925), 0.903 (95%CI = 0.866-0.941), respectively. The sensitivity and specificity for RDW in predicting in-hospital malignant arrhythmia event respectively were 82.0% and 79.0% with the optimal cut-off of 14.20%, and those for LVEF were 78.0% and 85.0% with the optimal cut-off of 0.375. Conclusion RDW can be used to predict the occurrence of malignant arrhythmia in patients with CHF during hospitalization.

Objective To investigate the effect of aspirin on endothelin-1 induced proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs). Methods Isolated and cultured CFs from neonatal Sprague-Dawley rats (SD) were randomly divided into 7 groups: control, ET-1, aspirin, ET-1 +aspirin 1 mmol/L, ET-1 +aspirin 2 mmol/L, ET-1 +aspirin 5 mmol/L and ET-1 + aspirinl 10 mmol/L. CFs were counted by MTr assay. Cell cycle distribution was determined with a flow cy-tometer (FCM). [~3H]-Proline incorporation was evaluated by scintillation counting. Nitric oxide (NO) was meas-ured by colorimetry. Results 10~(-7)mol/L ET-1 significantly increased the number of CFs and [~3H]-Pro incorporation and decreased NO_2~-/NO_3~--secretion compared with the control group (P <0.01).1 ~ 10 mmol/L Aspirin inhibited the effects of ET-1 on CFs in a concentration-dependent manner (P <0.05 vs ET-1). In the ET-1 group, the percent-age of cells in the S phase was higher than that of the control, which was inhibited by 10 mmol/L Aspirin (P <0.01 vs ET-1 and control). Conclusion Aspirin can restrain the proliferation and collagen synthesis of cardiac fibroblasts induced by endothelin-1, and this effect may be partially mediated by NO.
