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 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 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 investigate and analyze the experience of planting and maintaining implantable venous access ports(IVAP) in management of post-operative breast cancer patients. Methods Breast cancer pa-tients receiving IVAP after surgery from Mar. 2011 to Jun. 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. The relative com-plications were documented and summarized during implanting operation. Results 468 patients received IVAP, among whom 451 patients underwent piercing implantation via right internal jugular vein, 15 patients underwent piercing implantation via right subclavian vein, and 2 patients underwent piercing implantation via left internal jugular vein. The mean cathe tering leng th was 12.8 cm for patients receiving IVAP via right internal jugular vein, ranging from 12 to 15 cm. Thereinto, 30(6.4%) patients experienced shot-term complications including 16 cases of puncture difficulty, 5 cases of accidental arterial puncture, 2 cases of extravasation, 2 cases of blood aspiration dif-ficulty and 5 cases of arrhythmia. Three cases had long-term complications as the following:one case of catheter-re-lated infection, one case of catheter lost, and one case of incision rupture. Conclusions IVAP is a safe and effec-tive intravenous infusion device. It is crucial to choose individualized implanting access and length by professional surgical team.

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.
