Periodontal ligament may have independent response to orthodontic stimulation and thus initiate alveolar bone osteogenesis and osteoclasts. Orthodontic-induced alveolar bone remodeling has no bone loss,while inflammation can lead to alveolar bone loss,suggesting that force signal and inflammatory factors may induce the differentiation of undifferentiated cells in the periodontal ligament via different pathways. The strength of the force and the nature of the force (basal tension and fluid shear force) may affect the differentiation of periodontal ligament cells,and may produce antagonistic or synergistic effect with the inflammatory factors through complex autocrine and paracrine regulation,resulting in local bone reconstruction,which is manifested as bone deposition and bone absorption. Studies have shown that Wnt signaling is an important regulatory pathway for osteoblast differentiation. Inflammatory factors can block the differentiation of stem cells into osteoblasts. The Wnt pathway is closely related to the effects of force and inflammatory factors on the differentiation of periodontal ligament cells.

Monitoring data of antibiotic susceptibility from both home and abroad showed that carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are being on the rise,which represents an increasingly urgent clinical danger and an emerging public health concern worldwide.In order to effectively prevent CRE transmission in healthcare settings,we should not only pay high attention to the capability building of the laboratory of clinical microbiology,but also actively explore into the mechanisms of carbapenem resistance in Enterobacteriaceae.What's more,we should substantially raise the detection capacity of laboratory on CRE,effectively carry out the antimicrobial stewardship program,and strictly implement hand hygiene and contact precautions.(Chin J Lab Med,2013,36:300-302)

Objective To discuss the clinical effect of using autologous quadriceps tendon fixed by a patellar block as the graft to reconstruct posterior cruciate ligament (PCL ) under arthroscopy on a single-bundle way .Methods We treated 21 patients with damaged PCL using autologous quadriceps tendon fixed by a patellar block as the graft and absorbable interference screw fixation to reconstruct PCL under arthroscopy on a single-bundle way .Their functional recovery was evaluated by Lysholm scoring ,Tegner scoring and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) criteria .Results All 21 patients got successful surgery on PCL reconstruction and multiple trauma ,no patients lost to follow-up .The subjective symptoms were improved after operation ,the post-operative Lysholm score and Tegner score were both significantly enhanced and showed statistical significance compared with the preoperative scores(P<0 .01) .Conclusion Using autologous quadriceps tendon fixed by a patellar block as the graft to reconstruct PCL on a single-bundle way leads to satisfactory short term clinical effects ,however ,the long term clinical effects remain to be eval-uated .

Ecotropic viral integration site-1 (Evi-1) gene is first identified as a binding site for retrovirus in murine myeloid leukemia.The human homologue with the murine in leukemia oncogene Evi-1 is about 91％ of nuclear sequence and 94％ of amino acid.Evi-1 gene is high expressed in myeloid malignancies and other tumors.The main tumorigenic mechanisms of Evi-1 gene include inhibiting TGF-β signal path by depressing Smad3,adjusting cell cycle,promoting angiogenesis,inhibiting JNK.activating AP-1,and so on.

The 52-year-old female patient complained of persistent and progressive obstruction in left nasal cavity for more than 1 years. A grey, hard and smooth tumor with telangiectasia, were seen plugged in left post-nostrils and nasopharynx. CT scanning showed a tumor in the left nasal cavity. Post-operational pathologic diagnosis was peripheral nerve sheath tumors of nasal cavity.
