Objective　To explore the effect of the psychological intervention on the treatment of dental anxiety (DA).Methods Measured with Corah's dental anxiety scale , 316DA patients were selected from department of dentistry and were divided into two groups: the intervention group and the control group . The psychological intervention as well as regular dental therapeutics were applied to the patients in the intervention group , whereas only regular dental therapeutics were used to those in the control group.Results　The patients had a lower clinical dental anxiety in the intervention group , significantly different from that of the control group ( P＜ 0.01). After the treatment , more patients in the intervention group had a slower pulse than those in the control group and fewer had a faster pulse .The results also showed that the psychological intervention had a better curative effect on male patients than female ( P＜0.05). Conclusion　The psychological intervention was efficient to patients with dental anxiety.

BACKGROUND:Great saphenous vein is the most common vascular material in coronary artery bypass grafting, however, the graft neointimal hyperplasia and subsequent atherosclerosis result in angiostegnosis, which affect the long-term efficacy. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the pathophysiology and mechanism of the angiostenosis, additionally, to construct smooth muscle cell specific SM22a promoter and SMHC enhancer. METHODS: The database of PubMed, HighWire and CNKI were retrieved with key words of "SM22α promoter, SMHC enhancer, stenosis, Pi3k and RNAi/RNA interference". The language was confined to English and Chinese. The literatures correlated with angiostenosis, VSMC-specific SM22α promoter and enhancer were selected. The reviews and overlapped researches were excluded. In vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and apoptosis of graft neointimal hyperplasia, as well as the extent of graft thrombosis were considered as evaluation index. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: More than 8 730 literatures were searched by the computer. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, the SM22α promoter and angiostenosis were analyzed. The neointimal hyperplasia and thrombosis had a strong impact on prospective efficacy after coronary artery bypass grafting. The PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway was a crucial signal passage which regulated cell proliferation and migration. RNA interference targeting Pik3cb can efficiently suppress the neointimal hyperplasia through down regulating the PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway. The shRNA eukaryon expression plasmid vectors targeting rat Pik3cb were constructed using VSMC-specific SM22α promoter. On the one hand, it can suppress the neointimal hyperplasia, and on the other, it can prevent the occurrence of thrombosis.SM22a is a specific gene in vascular smooth muscle cell. The studies that applied VSMC-specific SM22α promoter/enhancer to vascular grafting provide a new strategy to prevent angiostenosis and thrombosis.

The differentiation of stem cells into target cells in a particular region is an important prerequisite for the organ construction and tissue engineering. The processes are multi-directionally regulated by the surface properties of biomaterials, and among them the influences of mechanical rigidity and surface morphology of biomaterials on morphological characteristics, focal adhesion assemblies, and cytoskeletal structure of cells are considered to be the most important factors in regulating the differentiation of stem cells into specific cell lineages. This review summarizes the progresses on this topic in the past few years, which may provide a reference to the design of the biomaterials in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.

To evaluate APTT for monitoring heparin neutralization and rebound following CPB. Method: Twenty patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement were randomly selected, APTT and activated clotting time (ACT) were measured 10 minutes following protamine in 0.5:1,0.7:1and 1:1 ratio to total heparin administered, and 3 and 6 hours after 1:1 ratio. Result: After the neutralization of the heparin/protamine at ratio of 0.5:1, the further doses of protamine (0.7: 1,1:1)decreased APTT markedly (P0.05). APTT with 0.5:1 or 0.7:1 ratio neutralization decreased significantly after in vitro protamine titration (P0.05). Conclusion= APTT is a better assay for monitoring both inadequate reversa. of heparin and heparin rebound,and is more sensitive to minimal dose heparin than ACT. The dose ratio of protamine to heparin at 1:1 may reverse heparin effect completely.

Multiple chromosomal aberrations, nucleotide substitutions, and epigenetic modifications may occur in human cancer cells, which drive malignant transformation. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project aims to promote large-scale multi-dimensional analysis of these molecular characteristics in human cancer and rapidly provide data to researchers. In this study, we introduce four flow paths of the production of TCGA data, the collections of various cancer types, the data category and level, and the standardized pipeline of data analysis, as well as several existing data analytical tools. We used ovarian cancer as an example to introduce the application of the TCGA data in the analyses of mutation, copy number, analysis, and expression. We summarized the important findings of glioblasto-ma by TCGA teams.

The hTERT gene promoter is a tumor-specific promoter, regulated by a number of factors.Modulation of the chromatin structure via DNA methylation or histone acetylation plays an important role in regulating the hTERT promoter. Recent study also found that glycogen synthase kinase -3 cytokines, macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor 1, bone inducing factor -7, transcription factors c-myc inhibitor, transforming growth factor β, cyclopentenone prostaglandin regulate the activity of hTERT through various pathways. Telomelysin, the telomerase-specific replication competent oncolytic adenovirus, has been used in clinical settings.Various gene therapies based on hTERT are current under-way.
