Objective To investigate the influence of aging on motor function,binding activity and protein expression level of striatum dopamine transporter(DAT)of rats. Methods Rolling-bar test was performed to assess motor function.Western blot and 131I-FP-β-CIT up-take ratio were used to evaluate DAT protein 1evel and striatum DAT binding activity respectively. Results There were an age-related decline of rolling-bar latency and striatum 131I-FP-β-CIT up-take ratio in rats older than6 months.There was a significant difference between 6-month-old rats and older rats(12-month-old rats,16-month-old rats,20-month-old rats),and rolling-bar latency was correlated with striatum 131I-FP-β-CIT up-take ratio(r=0.656,P＜0.01).There was no change in DAT protein 1evel during aging process. Conclusions The age-related decline of motor function of rats was correlated with the decreasing of striatum DAT binding activity.The synaptic membrane expression of striatum DAT may decrease in aged rats.

Objective To compare the analytical result of different kinds of film dose analysis software for the same gamma knife,analyze the reasons of difference caused,and explore the measurements and means for quality control and quality assurance during testing gamma knife and analyzing its result.Methods To test the Moon Deity gamma knife with Kodak EDR2 film and γ-Star gamma knife with GAFCHROMIC(R) EBT film,respectively.All the validation films are scanned to proper imagine format for dose analysis software by EPSON PERFECTION V750 PRO scanner.Then imagines of Moon Deity gamma knife are analyzed with Robot Knife Adjuvant 1.09 and Fas-09 1.0,and imagines of γ-Star gamma knife with Fas-09 and MATLAB 7.0.Results There is no significant difference in the maximum deviation of radiation field size ( Full Width at Half Maximum,FWHM) and its nominal value between Robot Knife Adjuvant and Fas-09 for Moon Deity gamma knife (t = -2.133,P ＞0.05).The analysis on the radiation field' s penumbra region width of collimators which have different sizes indicated that the differences are significant (t = - 8.154,P ＜ 0.05 ).There is no significant difference in the maximum deviation of FWHM and its nominal value between Fas-09 and MATLAB for γ-Star gamma knife ( t = - 1.384,P ＞0.05 ).However,following national standards,analysis of φ4 mm width of collimators can obtain different results according to the two kinds software,and the result of Fas-09 is not qualified while MATLAB is qualified.The analysis on the radiation field' s penumbra region width of collimators which have different sizes indicates that the differences are significant ( t = 3.074,P ＜ 0.05 ).The imagines are processed with Fas-09.The analysis of imagine in the pre-and the post-processing indicates that there is no significant difference in the maximum deviation of FWHM and its nominal value ( t = 0.647,P ＞ 0.05 ),and the analytical result of the radiation field' s penumbra region width indicates that there is no significant difference as well ( t = -0.627,P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusion The study shows that different kinds of film dose analysis software may have some differences in analysis of the same gamma knife validation film,and the results may lead to the different decisions in accordance with national standard.

Background and purpose:The theory of cancer stem cell offers us a new thought about tumors, more and more kinds of cancer stem cell were isolated and indentif ied from corresponding cancer tissue. Our aim was to investigate the content of side population cells in SW480 human colorectal cancer ce11 line and to enrich cancer stem- like cells in SW480 through serum-free medium (SFM) culture. Methods:The percentage of side population cells in human colorectal cancer cell line SW480 was detected with ? ow cytometry. SW480 cell line was cultivated in serum- free medium(SFM) supplemented with growth factors and the cancer stem-like cells reforming into ? oating spheres were isolated. The isolated cancer stem-like cells were identifi ed by limited-dilution assay, differentiation assay, self- renewal assay, and alternative cultivation assay. Results:The percentage of SP cells was 1.2% in SW480,In the absence of serum, a minority (0.54%-0.62%) of cancer stem-like cells in SW480 cells survived, proliferated and formed into the suspended tumor cell spheres. SW480 cancer stem-like cells possessed proliferative, self-renewal and differentiation potential, which were responsible for the ? oating tumor clone. Serum addition into SFM resulted in the proliferation of cancer stem-like cells; after several generations and alternated cultivation in SSM and SFM, cancer stem-like cells maintained their characteristics. Conclusions:SW480 cell line contains a tiny minority of SP cells with stem cell properties.The cancer stem-like cells in SW480 line can be maintained in SFM using a floating culture method.

To study the effect of wearing overnight orthokeratology ( OK) contact lens on corneal topography and tears in adolescents.METHODS: The diopter, corneal curvature, corneal surface regularity index ( SRl ) , tear break - up time ( BUT ) , Schirmer l test, and corneal fluorescent ( FL ) were recordedon 40 (80 eyes) adolescent myopia patients (mean age 13. 68±2. 32 years), who had worn OK contact lensfor more than 1 year, with mean spherical equivalent refraction -3. 61 ± 1. 48D before wearing OK contact lens. These indexes were tested and recorded before the patients' wearing OK contact lens and 5 times (1wk and 1, 3, 6, 12mo after the first wearing) during the patients' overnight wearing OK contact lens for 8~10 hours per day.RESULTS: Compared with pre - wearing, at post -wearing OK contact lens 12mo, the mean spherical equivalent refraction was apparently decreased from -3.61±1. 48D to -1. 39±1. 31D(P<0. 01). The corneal curvature was significantly flattened from 42. 29 ± 1. 55D to 40.13±1. 41D (P<0. 01). Mean SRl was increased from 0. 34± 0. 01 to 0. 37 ± 0. 01 ( P<0. 01 ). Mean BUT was decreased from 10. 39±2. 25s to 7. 26±1. 77s (P<0. 01). These indexes were stable at 1wk after wearing OK contact lens overnight and had no significant differences during the following (1, 3, 6, 12mo after wearing) tests (P > 0. 05 ). There were no significant differences on Schirmer▏test during the 12mo of OK wearing(P>0. 05). The cases of corneal fluorescent staining increased were mainly grade l, and the number of corneal staining grade l at 1 wk and 1, 3, 6, 12 mo after wearing were 15 eyes (18. 8%), 9 eyes (11. 3%),13 eyes (16. 3%), 9 eyes (11. 3%), and 12 eyes (15. 0%). BUT of corneal staining grade l wasdecreased significantly, compared with the BUT of corneal staining grade 0 during the 12mo of OK wearing (P<0. 05). CONCLUSlON: OK contact lens can significantly decrease the degree of myopia and K value of corneal curvature without changing tear volume. However, tear film stability weakens, which needs regular follow-up.

Objective:To find absorbable adhesives with suitable bonding properties for the absorbable polylactic acid root canal post. To test and compare the bond strengths of absorbable polylactic acid root canal post with three different adhesives. Methods:The absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts were used to restore the extracted teeth, using 3 different adhesives: cyanoacrylates, fibrin sealant and glass ionomer cement. The teeth were prepared into slices for micro-push-out test. The bond strength was statistically analyzed using ANOVA. The specimens were examined using microscope and the failure mode was divided into four categories:cohesive failure between absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts and adhesives, cohesive failure between dentin and adhesives, failure within the adhesives and failure within the absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts. Results:The bond strength of cyanoacrylates [(16. 83 ± 6. 97) MPa] and glass ionomer cement [(12. 10 ± 5. 09) MPa] were significantly higher than fibrin sealant [ ( 1 . 17 ± 0 . 50 ) MPa ] , P <0 . 001 . There was no significant difference between cyanoacrylates and glass ionomer cement (P =0. 156). In the group of cyanoacrylates, the cohesive failure between the absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts and the adhesives was 25 . 0%, the cohe-sive failure between the dentin and the adhesives was 16. 7%, the failure within the adhesives was 33. 3%, and the failure within the absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts was 25 . 0%. In the group of fibrin sealant , the cohesive failure between the absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts and the adhesives was 66 . 7%, the cohesive failure between the dentin and the adhesives was 22 . 2%, the failure within the ad-hesives was 11. 1%. In the group of glass ionomer cement, the cohesive failure between the absorbablepolylactic acid root canal posts and the adhesives was 87. 5%, the failure within the adhesives was 12. 5%. The major failure mode in fibrin sealant and glass ionomer cement was the cohesive failure between the absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts and the adhesives. No major failure modes were found in the group of cyanoacrylates. Conclusion:The bond strength of fibrin sealant is low, which cannot meet the requirement of clinical use. The bond strengths of cyanoacrylates and glass ionomer cement are suitable for clinical use. The cyanoacrylates are a kind of absorbable adhesive which has suitable bonding proper-ties for the absorbable polylactic acid root canal post.
