BACKGROUND:Currently, the implant surface is optimized to promote the osseointegration of artificial dental implants, which has become a research focus in recent years. But the femtosecond laser is less reported to modify the titanium surface so as to promote fibroblast proliferation and differentiation. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of femtosecond laser on the proliferation and differentiation of human periodontal ligament fibroblasts on titanium surface. METHODS: Human periodontal ligament fibroblasts were respectively inoculated on different titanium surfaces of the three groups (femtosecond laser group, TiO2 particle blasted group and pure titanium group). Then differentiation and proliferation of human periodontal ligament fibroblasts were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was a significant difference in the surface roughness among these three groups, and compared with the pure titanium group, the attached cels were more in the femtosecond laser group and TiO2 particle blasted group. mRNA expressions of RUNX2 and OSX were highest in the femtosecond laser group folowed by TiO2 particle blasted group and pure titanium group in order. These findings indicate that pure titanium treated with femtosecond laser has fine biological property and may be more feasible for human periodontal ligament fibroblasts to attach, grow and proliferate.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to examine the changes in the outbreak of acute gastroenteritis, rotavirus gastroenteritis after the introduction of the rotavirus vaccine in Korea. METHODS: The current study investigated the number of inpatients in the pediatric ward of Inje University Sanggye Paik Hospital during the periods of 2005-2006 and 2011-2012. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of 2,840 patients <5 years of age who were hospitalized at Inje University Sanggye Paik Hospital in these time periods. RESULTS: When we compared 2 separate sets of data from before (2005-2006) and after (2011-2012) vaccine introduction, there were statistically significant decreases in the number of patients who were hospitalized for acute gastroenteritis across all of the groups of patients <5 years of age except those <2 months of age. The number of patients with rotavirus gastroenteritis in all age groups declined except for children <2 months of age and those 2-5 months of age. CONCLUSION: These results show that after the introduction of a rotavirus vaccine in Korea, the incidence of rotavirus gastroenteritis decreased in 6-59-month-old patients hospitalized for acute gastroenteritis.

The currently unfavorable physician - patient relationship has lead to a total loss of interests from multiple sides of hospitals,patients,medical staff,medical education and the society,which specifies in the wellbeing loss of patients and the whole population.The social stability has also been affected.The health care reform should aim to minimize the conflicts between doctors and patients,thus the above mentioned losses will be diminished and a harmonious physician - patient relationship will be built up and the win - win pattern of benefits between doctors and patients will also be realized.Multiple efforts from the government,society,hospitals,medical staff,and patients are all needed to achieve such a goal.

Objective: To observe the effect of Weixikang apozema on growth factor of acetic acid gastric ulcer rats.Methods: The rats were divided into blank control group(abbreviated as blank group),model group,ranitidine group,Weixikang low dosage group(abbreviated as low dosage group) and Weixikang high dosage group(abbreviated as high dosage group) at random,each group has 8 rats.The content of epidermal growth factor(EGF) and transforming growth factor-?(TGF-?) were measured with radioimmunoassay.The protein expression of EGF,TGF? and EGFR were measured with immunohistochemical method.Results: The content of EGF and TGF-? and the protein expression of EGF,TGF-? and EGFR in low dosage group and high dosage group have increased(P

To investigate the effect of transfection of adenovirus mediated vascular endothelial growth factor B (VEGF B) gene transfer on the proliferation of endothelial cells. We constructed a replication deficient recombinant adenovirus vector coding for human VEGF B, and detected its gene transcription and expression in Ad. VEGF B infected rat arotic endothelial cells (RAECs) with RT PCR and western blat. The effect of Ad.VEGF B on RAECs prolifeation was examined by MTT assay on days 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 after infection. RAECs were successfully infected with high efficiency and expressed a special protein that is immunoreactive to anti VEGF B monoclonal antibody. This protein could be detected in the culture medium. The proliferation assay of RAECs infected with VEGF B expressing adenovirus revealed a significant increase in cell number over control. These results implied that the use of VEGF B expressing recombinant adenovirus may induce angiogenesis, which might be potential in vivo gene therapy for ischemic heart disease.

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the effects of different disinfectants on results of antibiotics skin test,and to improve the accuracy of the judgment results of antibiotics skin test. METHODS:1 500 patients undergoing antibiotics skin test of penicillin and cephalosporin were randomly divided into group A and group B with 750 patients in each group. Group A was given 75% etha-nol disinfection,and group B was given iodine disinfection. The incidence of false positive results were compared after disinfected with 2 kinds of disinfectants. RESULTS:The incidence of false positive result in group B was lower than in group A,with statisti-cally significant difference (χ2=10.004,P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:For skin disinfection of antibiotics skin test,iodine is better and safer than 75%ethanol.
