Along with the transgenic plant planting more and more popular in the world,the influence of transgenic plants on ecological environment was widely given attention and the comprehensive research had been done on effect of transgenic plants in soil ecosystems.The latent risks of transgenic plants to the soil ecosystem were reviewed.Also,the study on decomposition of transgenic plants in soil,the vertical and horizontal transfer possibility of recombinant DNA by transformation,as well as the influence of the exogenous gene and its expression product on soil animals,soil microbes as well as soil physical and chemical properties were also discussed,all of which would provide useful information for utilization of transgenic plants more safely in future.

Chitosan, deacetylated derivative of chitin, is a kind of natural polysaccharide polymer. It has advantages of rich source, good biocompatibility and biodegradation. Chitosan can be processed into porous scaffolds used for cell transplantation and tissue regeneration in bone tissue engineering, control-released carrier of growth factors and delivery vector of exogenous genes. Meanwhile, it can also be processed into injectable scaffolds used in bone tissue engineering in the form of microspheres or hydrogel. Chitosan and its derivatives will have broad application prospects in the research field of bone tissue engineering. However, chitosan composite scaffold has poor mechanical function, difficult accuracy control of In vivo degradation, and low efficiency for genetic carrier, chitosan research stays in in vitro tests and in vivo animal experiments. With the development of materials science and life science, chitosan will be widely used for clinical application of bone tissue defect.

Background Cysteine-rich 61 (Cyr61)/CCN1 has been reported to stimulate retinal neovascularization (RNV) in retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).However, whether CCN1 small interfering RNA (CCN1 siRNA) can inhibit or cure ROP has not been extensively investigated.Objective This study was to investigate the regulation effect of CCN1 specific siRNA expression vector on retinal endothelial cells.Methods Rhesus choroid-retinal vascular endothelial cells (RF/6A) were cultured under the normoxic (normoxia control group) and hypoxic condition (1％ O2,5％ CO2 with 94％ N2) in vitro, and then lipofectamineTM 2000 (LF2000) vector plasmid with or without CCN1 siRNA was transiently transfected in the hypoxic-cultured cells as the CCN1 siRNA transfected group and hypoxic control group, respectively.Reverse transcription PCR was employed to detect the expression of CCN1 siRNA plasmid 24 hours after transfection.The vatality of the cells was assayed by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) 0,24,48,72 and 96 hours after cultured.Twenty-four hours after cultured,the apoptosis of the cells was evaluated by flow cytometry, and the expressions of CCN1 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) proteins were detected by immunofluorescence technique and Western blot assay.Results The expression band of CCN1 siRNA was detected in the cells 24 hours after transfection of CCN1 siRNA.CCK-8 assay showed that RF/6A cells were significantly increased over time, and the proliferating value (absorbancy) of the cells was significantly reduced in the CCN1 siRNA transfected group compared with in the normoxia control group and hypoxic control group (Fgroup =198.45, P＜0.05;Ftime =39.26, P＜ 0.05).The apoptosis rates of the cells were (68.9± 1.1) ％ , (18.9±1.3)％ and (39.6± 1.8)％ in the CCN1 siRNA transfected group, normoxia control group and hypoxic control group,and the apoptosis rates of the CCN1 siRNA transfected group were evidently higher than those of the normoxia control group and hypoxic control group (t =2.93 ,t=2.56 ,both at P＜0.05).CCN1 and VEGF proteins were weakly expressed in the normoxia control group and strongly expressed in the hypoxic control group,however,their expression intensity was evidently weakened in the CCN1 siRNA transfected group.The related expression levels of CCN1 and VEGF proteins in the CCN1 siRNA transfected group were significantly lower than those in the hypoxic control group (both at P＜0.05).Conclusions RNA interference targeting CCN1 can inhibit proliferation and promote apoptosis of RF/6A cells.CCN1 siRNA can arrest RNV probably by downregulating the expression levels of CCN1 and VEGF in the cells.

Objective:To evaluate the bone alteration subject to remodeling and analyze the esthetic result following immediate implant placement of incisors.Methods:In this study,20 patients (1 3 women,7 men)were involved,who needed implants for incisors of maxilla.The patients received 23 im-mediate implants totally.On the day of surgery and 6 months after the implants were placed,Cone beam CT (CBCT)was taken.The thickness of the alveolar ridge and the vertical change of marginal bone levels onthe mesial and distal aspects of theimplants were measured using the computer software (Planme-caRomexis Viewer 3.6.0.R).The evaluation of esthetic result by labial convexity score (LCS)and pa-pilla index score (PIS)were analyzed pre-operation and one year after the final crown was delivered.The statistics with paired-t test for the measurement data and Willcoxon test for rating data were done by SPSS 20.0.Results:The survival rate in the two-year follow-up was 1 00%.The measuring point 1 (MP1 ), MP2,MP3 and MP4 (0,2,4,6 mm apical to the implant platform,respectively)got significant altera-tions after 6 months of the follow-up.These differences were statistically significant (P<0.05 ).The major alteration happened at MP1 and MP4,which got (-0.89 ±2.06)mm and (-0.75 ±1 .28)mm reduction of the alveolar,respectively.The marginal alveolar ridge resorption was (-0.42 ±1 .24)mm and(-0.91 ±1 .96)mm for Ankylos System and Replace System,respectively,and the difference was not statistical significant .The esthetic results were quite acceptable.Before treatment,1 8 incisors rated 3 for LCS,and 2 incisors rated 4 for LCS;after final restoration,only 5 incisors rated 3 for LCS,and 1 4 incisors rated 2 for LCS.Before treatment,1 5 incisors rated 3 for PIS;after final restoration,1 3 incisors rated 3 for PIS.There was no statistically significant difference for the PIS pre-operation and 1 year after final restoration,while there was statistically significant negative change for LCS.Conclusion:Even fol-lowing the proper surgical technique,the alveolar ridge wall still can’t be maintained after immediate im-plant placed in fresh socket of incisors.The inter-dental papilla could be well maintained,while due to the remodeling of labial bone,labial convexity will inevitably collapse.Therefore immediate implant still has esthetic risk.

Objective To evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine combined with subanesthetic dose of ketamine on the emergence agitation in the patients undergoing thoracotomy.Methods Eighty ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients,aged 55-75 yr,weighing 50-75 kg,scheduled for elective esophageal cancer resection,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =20 each) using a random number table:normal saline group (NS group),dexmedetomidine group (group D),subanesthetic dose of ketamine group (group K),and dexmedetomidine combined with ketamine group (group DK).In DK and K groups,ketamine 0.5 mg/kg was injected intravenously (within 1 min) at 10 min before the end of the operation.In DK and D groups,dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg was infused intravenously over 10 min starting from 10 min before the end of operation.In group NS,the equal volume of normal saline was infused intravenously over 10 min starting from l0 min before the end of operation.The emergence time,extubation time,duration of ICU stay,occurrence and degree of agitation,and development of cardiovascular events and hypoxemia within 24 h after operation were recorded.Ramsay sedation scores were recorded before induction of anesthesia (T1),immediately after completion of administration at the end of surgery (T2),and at 0,5,10 and 30 min after extubation (T3-6).Results There was no significant difference in the emergence time,extubation time,and duration of ICU stay between the four groups.Compared with group NS,Ramsay sedation scores were significantly increased at T3-6,the incidence and degree of agitation were decreased,and the incidence of cardiovascular events and hyoxemia was decreased in D,K and DK groups.Compared with D or K group,Ramsay sedation scores were significantly increased at T3-6,the incidence and degree of agitation were decreased,and the incidence of cardiovascular events and hyoxemia was decreased in group DK.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine combined with subanesthetic dose of ketamine can prevent the emergence agitation in the patients undergoing thoracotomy,which provides better efficacy than either alone.

Objective To investigate the effects of ursolic acid (UA) on cisplatin (CDDP)-induced expres_sion of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) in mouse cochlea .Methods Sixty BALB/c mice were ran_domly divided into 4 groups (15 mice in each group) and received introperitoneal injection once daily for 5 days:Control group (normol saline) ,UA group (80 mg/kg/day) ,CDDP group (4 .5 mg/kg/day) ,and CDPP (4 .5 mg/kg/day) plus UA group (80 mg/kg/day) .The expression of TRPV1 in mouse cochlea was determined by immuno_histochemistry ,microscope image analysis and western blot ,and auditory thresholds were evaluated by auditory brainstem response (ABR) measurement .ResuIts The expression of cochlea TRPV1 and ABR threshold shift was significantly increased in the mice treated with CDDP (P< 0 .05) ,as compared with control mice .These effects were prevented by UA treatment (all P<0 .05) .Furthermore ,a linear relationship analysis revealed that the ex_pression of cochlea TRPV1 was significantly correlated with ABR threshold shift(|r|>0 .7 , P<0 .05) .ConcIusion UA effectively attenuated CDDP -induced ototoxicity and improved auditory function through inhibition of TR_PV1 .
