OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to investigate the effects of different tooth preparations on the fracture strength and pattern of failure of teeth with severe wedge-shaped defect restored with post and core crowns.

METHODSAccording to whether the teeth above the wedge-shaped defect was removed (represented by B) or not (represented by A), the ferrule next to the wedge-shaped defect was prepared (represented by D) or not (represented by C), the cast post-and-core was chosen (represented by E) or glass-fiber post and resin core was chosen (represented by F). A total of 64 human mandibular premolar teeth were randomly divided into 8 groups: A1-1 (A + C + E), A1-2 (A + C + F), A2-1 (A + D + E), A2-2 (A + D + F), B1-1 (B + C + E), B1-2 (B + C + F), B2-1 (B + D + E), B2-2 (B + D + F), each group 8 teeth. All the teeth were prepared and restored accordingly and then mounted on an electronic pressure universal testing machine. The maximum fracture strength and the patterns of failure were recorded.

RESULTS1) The fracture strength of Group A1-1 > that of Group B1-1, Group A1-2 > Group B1-2, Group B2-1 > Group B1-1, and Group B2-1 > Group B2-2 with significant differences (P < 0.05). 2) The patterns of repairable fracture in Group A1-2 and B1-2 were both 37.5%, and that of the other groups were 0. Furthermore, the difference was significant, and Group A1-2 and B1-2 were higher than other groups.

CONCLUSIONThe maintenance of the overhang above the severe wedge-shaped defect aid in the improvement of the fracture strength of the tooth restored with post and core crown. The ferrule of the wedge-shaped defect is not recommended to be prepared. Furthermore, the glass-fiber post and resin core is favorable for the re-repair of the teeth than the cast post and core.

Bursting is an important firing mode of neurons. To propose a stochastic model of bursting spike train, the interspike interval (ISI) characteristics of single-spiking train and bursting spike train were analyzed and compared. In contrast with the exponential distribution of ISI in single-spiking train, normal distribution is supposed to be the ISI model of bursting spike train. Simulated neural spike trains were produced to investigate the spectrum features of the ISI model. The results showed that: (1) bursting spike train with normally distributed ISI held a low-pass spectrum while the spectrum of single-spiking train was flat; (2) the coefficient of variation of ISI in bursting train decided the bandwidth of its low-pass spectrum. Then neural activities from anesthetized rodent were used to check the validity of the model. 10 simultaneously recorded bursting spike trains and 10 single-spiking trains were selected during anesthesia and after pure-oxygen-washout period respectively. The spectrograms of these neural spike trains were analyzed and the results were matched with our mathematical model. It is believed that the bursting spike train model established in this paper will help to theoretically study the statistical characters of neural spike train and to add mathematical foundation in neural coding schemes.

Objective To establish a porcine model of liver failure after different percent hepatectomy.Methods The porcine models of liver failure 75%,85%,95% hepatectomy were developed and the living conditions and survival time were recorded.The blood samples of pre-surgery,post-hepatectomy d1,d3,d5 and post-hepatectomy 1 week,2 weeks,and 3 weeks were collected for hepatic function analysis.Histological examination of liver tissues was performed using HE staining.Liver injury histology was interpreted and scored in the terminal samples.Results The average survival time of pigs with post-hepatectomy liver failure after 75%,85%,95% hepatectomy was 19.0±5.6 days,17.3±5.5 days,1.3±1.5 days,respectively.Their pathological scores were 5.67±0.52,8.17±0.82 and 8.50±0.71,respectively.With the increase of percent hepatic resection,the incidence of hepatic failure was increasing.ALT,AST,ALP,LDH and TBA were dramatically increased in the pigs after 85% hepatectomy.Conclusions The pig model of acute liver failure by 85% hepatectomy is successfully established,which can cause typical acute liver failure in Bama miniature pigs.

Objective To investigate the genetic diagnosis and molecular pathogenesis of four patients with combined deficiency of coagulation factor Ⅴ and Ⅷ and their family members. Methods The APPT, FT, FⅤ: C, FⅧ: C were detected for phenotypic diagnosis. Thrombin generation assay was applied to determine the generation condition of thrombin in patients and healthy controls. Cenomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood using the TianGen RelaxCene Blood DNA System;amniotic fluid DNA was extracted with phenol-ethyl ether method. The LMAN1 and MCFD2 genes were analyzed by PCR. Gene mutations were detected with nucleotid sequences by using end-labeling dideoxy method. Results The APTT of Proband 1 was significantly prolonged to 88. 2s and her PT was prolonged to 19. 6 s. The combined deficiency was identified with FⅧ (FⅧ: C 24. 2% ) and FV(FⅤ: C 9. 1% ). Proband 2 and 3 were sisters. The coagulation studies revealed that both of them had prolonged APTT (71.6 s and 74.6 s respectively) and PT (22. 1 s and 18. 3 s respectively). The combined deficiency of FⅤ (FⅤ: C 7. 6% and 14. 5% respectively) and FⅧ( FⅧ: C 25% and 19.6% respectively) were identified. Proband 4 was detected to have the prolonged APTT (70.3 s),PT (18.2 s) and the deficiency of FⅤ(FⅤ: C 9. 4% ) and FⅧ (15. 7% ). The remaining phenotype indicators test of the 4 probands were normal. The diagnosis for the 4 probands was combined deficiency of factor Ⅴ and Ⅷ. The proband 1 was detected to have compound heterozygous mutations in LMAN1 gene while having the LMAN1 and MCFD2 direct gene sequencing. One mutation was a small insertion located on exon 8 [ nt912insA (X71661. 1)] that resulted in p. 305frameshiftX20 and her mother was detected to have the same heterozygous mutation on the the locus. The other mutation was located on exon 11: nt1366C > CT ( X71661. 1 ) , p. 456Arg > Stop which was inherited from her father. Amniocyte DNA was detected to have only one heterozygous mutaion [nt1366C > CT (X71661. 1) , 456Arg > Stop] inherited from the father. No mutation in MCFD2 gene was found in proband 1 and her parents. The analysis of the MCFD2 gene in proband 2 and 3 revealed a novel homozygous single base substitution (nt411T>C) in exon 4, which results in the exchange of the amino acid isoleucine by the amino acid threonine at amino acid position 136 (p. Ile136Thr). Sequencing of the whole LMAN1 gene showed that the proband 4 had one homozygous nonsence mutation in the exon 5 of the LMAN1 ( nt615C >T,p. 202 Arg> Stop). All of the 4 probands with combined deficiency of FⅤ and FⅧ showed declined endogenous thrombin potential in the thrombin generation tests. Conclusion The combined deficiency of FⅤ and FⅧ in the proband 1 results from the compound heterozygous mutations ( nt1366C > CT and nt912insA) in LMAN1 gene, which are inherited from her parents respectively. The prenatal genetic investigation for the patient mother with preganency indicates that the fetus is a female carrier with one mutation (nt1366C > CT) inherited from the father. The homozygous missence mutation ( nt411T > C, p. Ile136Thr) in the MCFD2 gene accounts for the proband 2 and 3. The daughter of the proband 2 is a carrier with a heterozygous mutation inherited from her mother. The homozygous nonsence mutation in the LMAN1 gene of the proband 4 results in the deficency of F Ⅴ and FⅧ.

Objective To explore the most effective route of mesenchymal stem cell transplantation (MSCs) in D-galactosamine (D-gal) induced porcine model with acute liver failure (ALF) and the potential mechanism.Methods BA-MA mini-pigs with D-gal-induced ALF were transplanted with porcine mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) through four routes:intraportal injection (InP),peripheral intravenous injection (PV),hepatic intra-arterial injection (AH) and intrahepatic injection (IH).The survival time was recorded.The blood samples before and after MSC transplantation were collected for detecting liver function.Liver histology was interpreted and scored.Hepatic apoptosis and regeneration were detected by Terminal Deoxynucleotidyl Transferase dUTP Nick End Labeling (TUNEL) assay and Ki-67 assay.The protein expression of cleaved caspase-3,survivin,AKT and ERK were analyzed by Western blot.Results The average survival time in each group was (10.7 ±1.6) days (InP),(6.0 ±0.9) days (AH),(4.7 ±1.4) days (PV),(4.3 ± 0.8) days (IH) when compared with D-gal group [(3.8 ± 0.8) days].The histopathological scores revealed a significantly decrease in InP group (3.17 ± 1.04,P ＜0.05) and AH group (8.17 ± 0.76,P ＜ 0.05) when compared with that in D-gal group (11.50 ± 1.32).The apoptosis rate in InP group (25.0 ± 3.4％,P ＜ 0.05) and AH group (40.5 ± 1.0％,P ＜ 0.05) was lower than that in D-gal group (70.6 ± 8.5％).The expression of active caspase-3 was inhibited,while the expression of survivin,AKT and ERK was elevated in InP group.Conclusions The intraportal injection was superior to other pathways for MSCs transplantation.Intraportal MSC transplantation could improve liver function,inhibit cell apoptosis,promote cell proliferation and prolong the survival in porcine ALF model.
