Objective To discuss the role of DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-DPKCS) in human lung adenocarcinoma cell line (A549) by using small interfering RNA (siRNA) to specifically knockdown DNA-DPKCS expression and its effects on cell proliferation, cell cycle and radio-sensitivity. Methods The DNA-DPKCS-siRNA expression vector was constructed and transfected into A549 cell line. The transformed clones were randomly selected and isolated. The cell cycle distribution and apop-tesis were analyzed by flowcytometry analysis. Cell survival was detected by using clonogenic formation as-say. Results With specific inhibition of DNA-DPKCS expression, stable transfected cell line 549pRNA-DNA-DPKCS was constructed by RNA interference technique. The 549pRNA-C and 549pSUPER cell lines were the control cell lines tansfected with control and blank plasmids, respectively. Compared with A549 cells, the expression levels of DNA-DPKCS mRNA (0.110: 1. 000), protein (0. 870: 2.967) and activity of DNA-DPKCS (0.004: 0.266) in 549pRNA-DNA-DPKCS cells were significantly lower (F = 80.55 ,P < 0.01;F=63.96, P<0.01;F=51.62,P<0.01, respectively). The analysis of SF_2(0.25:0.76), D_0 (1.42:1.62) and D_q (0.06: 1. 00) showed significant difference between 549pRNA-DNA-DPKCS and A549 cells (F = 996.86, P < 0.01 ; F = 17.41, P < 0.05 ; F = 68.92, P < 0.01). The number of 549pRNA-DNA-DPKCS cells in S (24.5%: 35.5%) and G_2 (10.7%: 11.0%) phases was significantly decreased (F = 4.83, P<0.05 and F=32.04, P <0.01, respectively). Conclusions In A549 cells, inhibit of DNA-DPKCS gene expression can enhance the radiosensitivity and affect cell cycle distribution.

The oral and maxillofacial region contains oral organs and facial soft tissues. Due to the complexity of the structures and functions of this region, the repair of related defects is complicated. Different degrees of defects require different repair methods, which involve a great combination of medicine and art, and the material requirements are extremely high. Hence, clinicians are plagued by contemporary oral repair materials due to the limitations of bone harvesting, immune rejection, low osteogenic activity and other problems. Decellularized extracellular matrix has attracted much attention as a bioactive scaffold material because of its nonimmunogenic properties, good osteogenic properties, slow release of growth factors, promotion of seed cell adhesion and maintenance of stem cell characteristics. This article reviews the sources, preparation methods, application and research progress of extracellular matrix materials in the repair of oral and maxillofacial defects to provide an overview for fundamental research and clinical development.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oliceridine for treatment of moderate to severe pain after surgery with general anesthesia in patients.Methods:The patients with moderate to severe pain (numeric pain rating scale ≥4) after abdominal surgery with general anesthesia from 14 hospitals between July 6, 2021 and November 9, 2021 were included in this study. The patients were assigned to either experiment group or control group using a random number table method. Experiment group received oliceridine, while control group received morphine, and both groups were treated with a loading dose plus patient-controlled analgesia and supplemental doses for 24 h. The primary efficacy endpoint was the drug response rate within 24 h after giving the loading dose. Secondary efficacy endpoints included early (within 1 h after giving the loading dose) drug response rates and use of rescue medication. Safety endpoints encompassed the development of respiratory depression and other adverse reactions during treatment.Results:After randomization, both the full analysis set and safety analysis set comprised 180 cases, with 92 in experiment group and 88 in control group. The per-protocol set included 170 cases, with 86 in experiment group and 84 in control group. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in 24-h drug response rates, rescue analgesia rates, respiratory depression, and incidence of other adverse reactions ( P>0.05). The analysis of full analysis set showed that the experiment group had a higher drug response rate at 5-30 min after giving the loading dose compared to control group ( P<0.05). The per-protocol set analysis indicated that experiment group had a higher drug response rate at 5-15 min after giving the loading dose than control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:When used for treatment of moderate to severe pain after surgery with general anesthesia in patients, oliceridine provides comparable analgesic efficacy to morphine, with a faster onset.

The organoid is a kind of distinctive micro-organ formed by stem cells with the ability of self-renewal, which can be cultured in three-dimensional scaffold in vitro. With the development of cell culture system, organoids have been gradually applied in researches such as in vitro organ model establishment, drug testing and even the repairing or replacing damage organs. It shows significantly promising prospects. This review article aims to summarize the latest research progress and provide the theoretical foundation and prospects for the development of organoids in stomatology.

Objective:To establish an irritant contact dermatitis(ICD)model induced by sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS)in mice,and explore its endotype to provide an experimental and theoretical basis for subsequent precise treatment.Methods:Mice were randomly divided into two groups(model group and control group),4%SDS was topically applied to induce ICD in mice,saline was used on control group,the dose and frequency were consistent with model group,and the skin lesions of mice were observed.Epidermal thickness and inflammatory cell infiltration were analyzed by HE staining,toluidine blue staining and immunofluorescence staining.Real-time quantitative PCR was performed to investigate mRNA expression levels of cytokines.Results:Compared with control group,mice in ICD model group showed epidermal thickness on the back of neck,and the numbers of inflammatory cells were increased in dermis.The number of neutrophils,macrophages and T cells were increased.Expressions of Il17a and Il17f mRNA levels were increased.Conclusion:SDS-induced ICD model is successfully established,with the elevated infiltration of neutrophils,macrophages and T cells,and secretion of type 17 cytokines.
