Objective To construct three-dimensional finite element model (3-D FEM) of maxillary complete denture and its supporting tissues with different shapes of palatal vault and different teeth cusp inclination. Methods Based on the data of 3-D measurement, using MATLAB 6.1 and ALGOR FEAS software, 3-D FEM was constructed by computer. Results 3-D FEM of maxillary complete denture was constructed with three different palatal vault and three different teeth cusp inclination (10?, 20?, 30?) and supporting tissues. Conclusion 3-D FEM can be used for the analysis of the effect of different shapes of palatal vault and different teeth cusp inclination on the stress distribution of maxillary complete denture under different loading conditions.

Objective To investigate the role of cancer stem cells in radiation resistance of esophageal cancer and its molecular mechanism, and to provide a theoretical basis for radiotherapy for esophageal cancer.Methods Esophageal cancer cell line TE1 was treated with 8 Gy of radiation. Esophageal cancer cell line with resistance to radiation, TE1-res, was established and screened.Cell counting was used to evaluate cell proliferation.Flow cytometry was used to determine the expression of CD44 (high) CD24(-) CD133(+) and apoptosis in cells.The colony formation assay was used to determine the colony-forming rate and cell survival curve.Bisulfite sequencing PCR was used to determine the methylation status of cancer suppressor genes.Comparison of the data was made by group t test or analysis of variance. Results Compared with TE1 cells, TE1-res cells had significantly enhanced proliferation, a significantly higher proportion of CD44( high) CD24(-) CD133(+) cells, and significantly enhanced resistance to apoptosis (mean value 20.84×105 vs.4.46×105/day, P=0.008;(38.0±2.9)%vs.(10.1±1.3)%, P=0.001;mean value 33.23% vs.10.50%, P=0.003 ) .After treatment with 8 Gy of radiation, TE1-res cells had significantly higher colony-forming rate and D0 value than TE1 cells ((14.3±2.6)%vs.(0.9±0.3)%, P=0.011;3.28 vs.2.19 Gy, P=0.125 ) .Moreover, the promoter methylation in cancer suppressor genes including SPINT2, CDKN1B, DKK1, TP53, and PPP2R1B was significantly enhanced in TE1-res cells than in TE1 cells ((89.7±4.9)%vs.(5.0±0.5)%, P=0.001;(92.3±4.7)%vs.(10.4±0.7)%, P=0.001;(90.7±3.7)%vs.(7.9±0.4)%, P=0.001;(83.4±5.7)%vs.(17.2±1.2)%, P=0.002;(90.2±
6.7)%vs.(4.4±1.2)%, P=0.002).Conclusions Cancer stem cells play an important role in radiation resistance of esophageal cancer. The resistance to radiation is closely associated with promoter hypermethylation in cancer suppressor genes including SPINT2, CDKN1B, DKK1, TP53, and PPP2R1B.

Objective To establish a radioresistant esophageal squamous cancer cell line,and to identify the radioresistant genes and mechanisms.Methods The radioresistant KYSE410-res cell line was established by repeated exposure of cell line KYSE410 to radiation.The proliferation and apoptosis of esophageal squamous cancer cells were evaluated before and after radiation.The changes in gene expression of the esophageal squamous cancer cells after radiation were determined by gene microarray and analyzed by group t test.The genes with significant difference in expression after radiation were validated.Results The KYSE410-res cells had significantly enhanced proliferation and anti-apoptosis than the KYSE410 cells (all P<0.05).The result of gene microarray showed that compared with the KYSE410 cells,the KYSE410-res cells had the expression of 463 and 251 genes upregulated and downregulated by no less than 4 folds,respectively.Those genes with different expression levels after radiation were mainly responsible for cell proliferation,adhesion,signal transduction,angiogenesis,reactive oxygen metabolism,cell damage repair,and the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway.OAS2 and UBD were key proteins in the network.In the KYSE410-res cells,the expression of HLA-DQBI,MMP1,NCAM1,ZNF521,GPC6,SELENBP1,LCN15,and TFPI-2 genes measured by real-time PCR was consistent with that measured by gene microarray.Conclusions Abnormal activation of the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway,upregulated expression of OAS2 and UBD,downregulated expression of TFPI-2,and upregulated expression of MMPs may play a role in radioresistance of esophageal cancer cells.

Objective To discuss the effect of daidzein on hepatocellular carcinoma SMMC7721 cell proliferation CD133 expression on tumor stem cell.Methods Hepatocellular carcinoma SMMC7721 cells were cultured,digested and passaged,and divided into six groups with different drug:control group with no daidzein,100 μg/mL daidzein group,200μg/mL daidzein group,300μg/mL daidzein group,400μg/mL daidzein group ,500μg/mL daidzein.The inhibition ratio,hexokinase,alkaline phosphatase and CD133 levels in SMMC7721 cell were detected and compared at 24 h,48 h,72 h among those groups. Results The inhibition ratio was increased by Daidzein dose increasing,and decreased apparently by times extending,especially in 400μg/mL and 500μg/mL daidzeingroups.Compared with control group,the hexokinase and alkaline phosphatase activity and CD133 expression were decreased apparently in groups treated with daidzein(P<0.01).The more the dose,the higher the drop(P<0.01).Conclusion Daidzein can inhibit hepatocellular carcinoma SMMC7721 cell proliferation,and inhibit CD133 expression on tumor stem cell.

Objective To explore the occurrence of anemia, anaemia type, iron metabolism situation,variation of serum Prealbumin (PA), and the relationship among them in cancer patients. Methods Three hundred and seventy cancer patients, admitted from July 2007 to April 2010 to our hospital, were enrolled into the study. The clinical data of all subjects were analyzed retrospectively. Results The incidence of anemia in 370 patients was 55.67% (206/370). Among all 206 anemia cases,129 cases had mild anaemia and 77 cases had middle to severe anaemia. In the last group ( n = 77 ), we found significant decrease in serum iron level ( [ 8. 37 ± 6. 09 ] μmol/L) and increase in serum ferritin level ( [ 474. 57 ± 327. 58 ] μg/L); and the correlation between serum iron and the anemia degree( Ps < 0. 05 ). However, we found no significant differences of serum ferritin level between the groups with different degree of anemia(P >0. 05). Among all 206 anemia cases ,187(90. 77% ) patients had a low level of serum PA, but no relationship between the degree of anemia and the drop of serum PA ( P > 0. 05 ). Conclusion The anemia was very popular in cancer patients, which had correlation with iron metabolism situation but not PA.

Post-stroke fatigue (PoSF) is an independent pathologic symptom after stroke which negatively influenced activities of daily living (ADL) and quality of life (QOL) of the stroke patients. PoSF is irrelevant to depression, age, state of the illness, etc. PoSF should be assessed appropriately and alleviated by medicine, diet, sleep, exercise, and health education, etc.
