BACKGROUND:Compared with the conventional composite resin, the 3M Z350 nano-resin has good wear
resistance, physical mechanical properties, and polishing, and exerts a lower irritation to the dental pulp. Besides fil ing materials, a reliable tooth-prosthesis bonding interface is necessary for resin bonded repairs.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the clinical effects of self-etch bonding Adper Easy One and total-etch bonding Single Bond 2 on nano-resin bonding restoration of the anterior teeth.
METHODS:120 anterior teeth with vital pulp, which had defects at the incisal ends and were to be restored with nano resins, were divided into two groups randomly. Two kinds of adhesives, self-etch adhesive and total-etch adhesive, combined with nano-resin were used to restore the teeth. The patients were re-examined immediately, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after the treatment. The fil ings, teeth and pulps of patients were examined,
including whether the prosthesis and tooth color were coordinated, whether the gap between the prosthesis and the teeth were sealed, whether the surface of the prosthesis was intact with no loose, whether the prosthesis and teeth had no staining and secondary caries, whether the condition of the tooth pulp had hot or cold
stimulation-induced pain.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:No significant difference in the fil ing effects was found between the two groups when the patients were re-examined immediately, 6 months and 1 year after the treatment (P>0.05). The pulp
lesions of the self-etching group were fewer than those of the total-etch group 2 years after the treatment (P<0.05). Self-etching group had 1, 6, 0, 2 cases and total-etch group had 0, 2, 1, 2 cases in uncoordinated color, edge seal,
incomplete restoration and secondary caries, respectively. No statistical y significant differences were found in these four aspects between the two groups (P>0.05). The 2-year fol ow up showed a low incidence of pulp lesions and satisfactory clinical performance after 3M Z350 nano-resin working with self-etching bonding system in the nano-resin fil ing of
anterior teeth with vital pulp.

Purpose To investigate the correlation between promoter methylation of RKIP and the clinicopathological features of gastric carcinoma and to analyze the correlation between promoter methylation of RKIP and expression of RKIP. Methods The protein ex-pression and promoter methylation of RKIP were detected in 45 cases of surgically resected gastric carcinoma specimens and 21 cases of corresponding normal tissues using the immunohistchemistry SP method and methylation-specific PCR ( MSP) . Results The positive rate of promoter methylation of RKIP was 48. 89% in gastric carcinoma tissues and 4. 8% in adjacent tissues (P<0. 05). The positive rate of the expression of RKIP protein was 42. 22% in gastric carcinoma tissues and 90. 48% in adjacent tissues (P<0. 05). The pro-tein expression and promoter methylation of RKIP were correlated with the degree of differentiation and lymph node metastasis ( P<0. 05) . Expression of RKIP protein in gastric carcinoma was associated with promoter methylation of RKIP. Conclusions Promoter abnormal methylation of RKIP may be one reason of the deletion of expression of RKIP protein, which correlates with occurrence and development of gastric carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the apoptosis of neuron surrounding the hematoma in intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH)rats.Methods 64 male SD rats were randomly divided into two groups,trial group(ICH,n=56)and control group(sham operated,n=8).The brains of the rats were removed 6 h,12 h,24 h,48 h,72 h,7 d,14 d after ICH.Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate-bioti in situ nick end-labeling(TUNEL)was used to detect deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA)fragmentation.The activation of caspase-3 was measured with immunohistochemistery.The electron microscope were used to observe histological changes surrounding the hematoma.Results Under transmission electronic microscope,shrunken neuron and glial cell with pre-apoptotic signs of intensely stained cytoplasm and abnormally dense nucleus,swollen blood vessel were found.TUNEL-positive cells appeared in the periphery of the hematoma and increased from 6 h to 14 d after ICH.Little TUNEL-positive cells could be found in the control group.The change of the caspase-3-positive cells was similar to TUNEL,but the peak of caspase-3-positive cells was more early than that of TUNEL.Conclusion The apoptosis of neuron occurred surrounding the hematoma in ICH rats and it may related to caspase-3.

A matrix solid phase dispersion ( MSPD) method was developed for the simultaneous preparation of samples of 15 mycotoxin biomarkers including deoxynivalenol, aflatoxins and zearalenone from eggs, which were subsequently determined by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry ( LC-ESI-MS/MS) under the multiple reaction monitoring ( MRM) mode. For the analysis, the samples were first mixed with C18 particles and loaded into an empty column, then 20 mL of acetonitrile/methanol (1:1, V/V) containing 1 mmol/L ammonium formate was used to elute the sample. The eluent was then dried with nitrogen flow and redissolved into the mobile phase. After filtration, samples were brought into vials and used for analysis. Different from other methods, no extra complicated purification and centrifugation steps were required in the procedure of MSPD. This method had good linearity in the range of 0. 2-100 ng/mL, with the correlation coefficient (r2) greater than 0. 9931. The limits of detection (LODs, S/N=3) and limits of quantification ( LOQs, S/N=3 ) of this method were 0. 05-2 μg/kg and 0. 2-4 μg/kg respectively. Comprehensive extraction recoveries of the 15 compounds ranged from 61% to 90%.

Objective To investigate the association between endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1)gene polymorphisms and psoriasis vulgaris (PsV)in a Chinese Han population. Methods Five milliliters of venous blood samples were collected from 289 patients with PsV and 292 human controls of Han nationality after informed consent. Three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)in the encoding area of the ERAP1 gene, including rs27044, rs30187 and rs26653, were genotyped by ligase detection reaction (LDR). With the PLINK 1.07 package, statistical analysis was carried out by using the chi-square test for comparisons of allele and genotype frequencies between the patient group and control group. The allelic odds ratio (OR)and its 95% confidence interval (CI)were calculated. In addition, haplotype analysis was conducted with the Haploview software. Results The frequencies of rs30187-C and rs26653-G alleles were significantly lower in the patient group (0.460 2 and 0.430 8 respectively), especially in patients with early-onset PsV(0.448 5 and 0.422 7 respectively), than in the control group(0.534 2 and 0.501 7 respectively, all P <0.05). The SNPs rs27044, rs30187 and rs26653 showed strong linkage disequilibrium with each other (r2 ≥ 0.717, D′ ≥0.962). Genotype analysis showed that the frequency of the rs30187 CC genotype was significantly lower in the patient group, especially in patients with early-onset PsV, than in the control group (P < 0.05 and 0.016 7 respectively)under a recessive mode of inheritance. Haplotype analysis revealed that the frequency of the haplotype H4: CTC was significantly increased in the patient group(0.050), especially in patients with early-onset PsV(0.052), compared with the control group (0.022, P < 0.05 and 0.016 7 respectively). Conclusions ERAP1 gene polymorphisms are associated with PsV, especially with early-onset PsV in Chinese Han population. The risk haplotype H4: CTC may be a susceptible factor for PsV.

Background Cooking oil fumes are closely related to immune response, and adipose tissue also plays an important role in immune regulation. At present, the biological effect and mechanism of inflammation of adipose tissue induced by oil fume exposure are not clear yet. Objective To investigate the inflammatory effect of different exposure duration of cooking fumes on adipose tissue in mice and explore the role of Nod-like receptor pyrin domain 3 (NLRP3)/cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase 1 (Caspase 1)/interleukin (IL)-1β signaling pathway. Methods Forty 8-week-old female C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into 3-day control group (CON₃ group), 7-day control group (CON₇ group), 3-day oil fume exposure group (COF₃ group), and 7-day oil fume exposure group (COF₇ group), with 10 mice in each group. The mice were exposed to oil fumes in a cooking oil fume formation and exposure equipment (COFFEE) for 20 min, followed by a 10-min pause, 1 h a day for consecutive 3 d or 7 d. General condition of mice was observed and body weight was measured every day. After exposure, blood was sampled from the eyeball. Serum levels of IL-6, IL-27, and IL-1β were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The adipose tissue of mice was collected and observed after hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The percentages of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺T cells in adipose tissue were detected by flow cytometry. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression levels of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), NLRP3, Caspase 1, and IL-1β in adipose tissue. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of NLRP3, Caspase 1, and IL-1β in adipose. Results Compared with the corresponding control group, serum IL-6, IL-27, and IL-1β contents in the COF₃ group and the COF₇ group were significantly increased (P<0.05) except IL-6 in the COF₃ group, and the levels in the COF₇ group were significantly higher than those in the COF₃ group (P<0.05). Vacuolar lipid droplets in adipocytes decreased, cytoplasm shrank, and inflammatory cells infiltrated in the COF₇ group after HE staining. The flow cytometry results showed that the proportions of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺T cells in adipocytes of the COF₃ group and the COF₇ group were increased compared to the corresponding control group, with a significant increase in the COF₇ group (P<0.05), and the CD4⁺/CD8⁺T ratio also significantly increased progressively in the two groups (P<0.05). The results of RT-qPCR showed that compared with the corresponding control group, the mRNA expression levels of NF-κB, NLRP3, Caspase 1, and IL-1β in adipose tissue of mice in the COF₃ group and the COF₇ group were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). The mRNA expression levels of mice in each exposure group gradually increased over time. The Western blot results showed that compared with the corresponding control group, the protein expressions of NLRP3 and Caspase 1 in the COF₃ group were significantly increased (P<0.01), and the expression of IL-1β protein also increased but without statistical significance. The protein expressions of NLRP3, Caspase 1, and IL-1β in the COF₇ group were significantly higher than those in the CON₇ group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion Acute exposure to cooking oil fumes can induce significant inflammatory response in adipose tissue, and the effect gradually increases with the extension of exposure time. The mechanism of action may be related to the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVETo investigate expression of Her-2/neu (c-erbB-2) and its significance in ovarian epithelial tumors.

METHODS106 specimens and clinical history of ovarian epithelial tumors were collected including 54 cases of malignant, 33 cases of borderline and 19 benign cases. There were 19 cases of stages I and II and 35 cases of stages III and IV in ovarian carcinoma and all borderline malignant cases were stage I according to FIGO's standard. Immunohistochemical staining for Her-2/neu was performed by LSAB method.

RESULTSThe positives rates of Her-2/neu of benign, borderline and malignant tumors were 47.4% (9/19), 84.8% (28/33,), and 85.2% (46/54), respectively. Both borderline and malignant cases were found to have higher expression of Her-2/neu than those of benign cases (P < 0.02 and P < 0.01) respectively. Overexpression of Her-2/neu showed in 14/54 (25.9%) of malignant cases, 3/33 (9.1%) of borderline, and none of benign cases. Overexpression of Her-2/neu in malignant tumors cases with metastasis was higher than those without metastasis (P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONOverexpression of Her-2/neu is associated with biological aggressiveness of ovarian cancer.

Objective: To explore the relationship between bullying among middle school students and family factors in a city of central China, so as to provide support for the prevention and reduction of school bullying among middle school students. Methods: The stratified cluster random sampling method was used to investigate the bullying involvement and family factors of 2 996 middle school students from first grade in junior high school to third grade in high school in a city in central China. Chi-square test and Logistic-regression analysis were used to analyze the relationship between family factors and bullying participation of middle school students. Results: Among 2 996 students, 390 students(13.0%) were found of having bullying behavior, and 1 127 students(37.6%) were found of being bullied. Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in family factors such as whether she or he is the only child, father-child relationship, mother-child relationship, marital status of parents, whether the mother work away from hometown, education level of father and mother(χ2=8.88, 56.49, 30.85, 30.91, 3.89, 10.36, 11.72；25.00, 69.33, 46.76, 57.09, 3.93, 23.19, 45.49, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the only child and mother’s education degree was junior college and below were the risk factors for middle school students’ bullying involvement (OR=1.37，1.39). Parents’ harmonious marital status and father’s not working outside are the protective factors of middle school students’ bullying(OR=0.53, 0.83).The only child is the risk factor of bullying in middle school students (OR=1.42), and good father relationship is the protective factor of bullying in middle school students (OR=0.38). Conclusion Family factors have a certain impact on the involvement of middle school students in bullying in a city of central China, and corresponding preventive measures should be formulated from the perspective of family to focus on the intervention of high-risk groups.
