International Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2017;40(3):169-172
Objective To investigate the long-term efficacy of calcium phosphate cement combined with bFGF in repairing pulp chamber perforation and to analyze the correlation between the diameter of the perforation and the curative effect.Methods 75 patients with pulp chamber perforation (82 teeth) were enrolled and divided into the observation group and the control group according to the repair material and method.A series of subgroups were also modeled according to the diameter of the perforation,which include the control group A (≤ 1.5 mm),control group B (1.6~3 mm) and control group C (>3 mm),as well as the observation group A (≤ 1.5 mm),observation group B (1.6~3 rmm) and observation group C (>3 mm).The observation group was treated with calcium phosphate cement combined with bFGF,and the control group was treated with calcium phosphate cement alone.Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 97.8%,which was significant higher than 80.6% in the control group (P<0.05).The cure rate of the observation group A was 100%,which was significant higher than 73.3% in the observation group B and 41.7% in the observation group C (all P<0.05).The total effective rates of the observation group A and B were significantly higher than 91.7% in the observation group C (all P<0.05).The cure rate of the control group A was 92.9%,which was significant higher than 60.0% in the control group B and 25.0% in the control group C (all P<0.05).The total effective rates of the control group A (100%) and B (90.0%) were significantly higher than 91.7% in the control group C (all P<0.05).Conclusions Calcium phosphate cement combined with bFGF in repairing the pulp chamber perforation was significantly better than calcium phosphate cement alone.The cure rate of perforation repairing is closely related to the perforation size.The perforation with small diameter may achieve a better repairing effect.

Objective To study the clinical effect and the range of indications of oxygen-ozone treatment for lumber disc herniation. Methods 6~15 ml of oxygen-ozone(35~45 ?g/ml) were injected percutaneously into lumbar disc.In case of multiple disc herniations,the proceduce could be taken with two discs for once. Results 323 patients with 433 discs were treated by oxygen-ozone injection procedure.Total effective rate was 77.7%. Conclusions The treatment of lumber disc herniation by oxygen-ozone injection is simple,safe and effective with mild trauma.Oxygen-ozone not only can oxidize the proteoglycan in the nucleus leading to the contraction of nucleus,but also provide anti-inflammation effect with pain relief and without complication yet.

Objective To explore the effect and molecular mechanism of miR-34c in cell proliferation and invasion of human prostate cancer PC3 cells.Methods miR-34c was synthesized and transfected into prostate cancer PC3 cells.The ability of cell pro liferation was examined with methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT),and invasion with Transwell assay.The level of c-met mRNA was analyzed by real-time reversing transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Western blot was used to detect the expressions of cmet,cyclin D1,and EMT-associated markers.Results Over-expression of miR-34c reduced PC3 cell proliferation,and inhibited the abilities of invasion.Bioinformatics analysis showed that 3'-UTR of c-met had two miR-34c matched sites,and miR-34c inhibited the expressions of c-met mRNA and protein.Meantime,miR-34c obviously decreased the expressions of cyclin D1 and N-cadherin,but increased the expression of E-cadherin in PC3 cells.Conclusions miR-34c may suppress cell proliferation and invasion in prostate cancer PC3 cells,by which mechanism is related to reduction of the expressions of c-met,cyclin D1,N-cadherin,and upregulation of E-cadherin.

Objective To assess the efficacy of itopride on treatment of patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) overlapping constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (C-IBS). Methods Patients who met criteria for FD and FD overlapping C-IBS were randomly assigned into FD treatment group (group A), FD control group (group B), FD overlapping C-IBS treatment group (group C) and FD overlapping C-IBS control group (group D). The patients in group A and group C received 100 mg of itopride 3 times daily for 8 weeks. Dyspeptic symptoms including abdominal pain, bloating, early satiety and constipation, were evaluated before and after treatment. Ultrasonic monitoring of gastric emptying function was performed in group A and group C before and two weeks after treatment.ResultsThe symptoms of FD were relieved in both group A and group C (P<0.05), while better results were shown in group C. The significant improvement of constipation was seen in group A and group C. Besides, after medication, gastric emptying was improved in group A and group C in comparison with group B and group D. Conclusion Itopride is an effective therapeutic option in the treatmentping of patients with overlapping of FD and C-IBS.

Objective To investigate whether valproic acid (VPA) affect spatial learning memory and senile plaques in the APP/PS1 double transgenic AD mouse model of different gender. MethodsTwenty 3-month old APP/PS1 double transgenic AD mice,male and female mouse evenly,were randomly divided into VPA-treated and saline-treated groups ( 10 for each group). 30 mg· kg-1 · d-1 of VPA and the same amount of saline were peritoneally injected into mice for 4 weeks. Morris water maze was conducted to check the effect of VPA on the capability of spatial learning and memory of AD mouse model. Immunohistochemical staining was used to examine the effect of VPA on the morphological changes in the brains of mice. ResultsVisible platform test showed that VPA-treated and saline-treated mice had similar escape latency (P>0.05) and path length (P>0.05) ,the swimming speed between male and female mice had no difference (P>0.05). Hidden platform test showed that VPA treated mice had a significantly shorter latency (P<0.01) and path length (P<0.01) to reach the platform compared with saline-treated mice. Meanwhile, both in VPA-treated and control groups, the male mice had a shorter correlation escape latency and path-length than female mice had(P<0.05 ). Immuohistochemical staining showed that the number (11.23±3.78) of senile plaques (SP) in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus of VPA-treated male mice were notably decreased than that(28.17 ±3.46) in the control group ( t= 14.67, P<0.01 ),furthermore,the number of SP in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus of VPA-treated male mice was significantly reduced,as compared with which (20.36 ±4.21)in the VPA-treated female mice(P<0.05). ConclusionVPA can significantly lower formation of SP, and remarkably improve the capability of spatial learning and memory of APP/PS1 transgenic mice,which have gender difference.

Aim To study the mechanism of curcumin induced U251 cell apoptosis. Methods U251 cells were treated with 20~100?mol?L~ -1 curcumin for 24 h and the growth inhibition rates of U251 cells were measured with MTT method. MTT method was used to measure the caspase inhibitors effect on curcumin too. Cell apoptosis was inspected with flow cytometry (FCM) and observed using electron microscope. The protein levels of FAK in U251 cells were observed by SP immunocytochemistry. The activity of caspase-3 was measured by spectrofluorometry. Results Curcumin inhibited the proliferation of U251 cells,induced apoptosis of U251 cells. At the same time the protein levels of FAK in U251 cells decreased and the activity of caspase-3 increased significantly. The apoptosis of U251 cells was partially reversed by caspase inhibitors. Conclusion Curcumin induced apoptosis via inhibition of expression of FAK and activation of caspase-3.
