BACKGROUND:Currently, buccal tubes are mostly preferred rather than molar bands to control posterior tooth movement. However, the buccal tube is difficult to bind the molar because of its position. Meanwhile, due to the relatively large masticatory forces on the posterior tooth, the buccal tube is easier to drop off. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical effects of two kinds of adhesives bonding the buccal tube. METHODS:Sixty orthodontic patients were selected randomly. The right side of the upper and lower first molars of each patient was bonded by 3M TransbondTM light-cured resin binder, and the left side of the upper and lower first molar of each patient was bonded by 3M chemical curing adhesive. Cases of buccal tube shedding were recorded within 4 months. Meanwhile, 3M TransbondTM RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The dropout rate of 3M Transbond light-cured resin binder and 3M chemical curing adhesive were used to bond the isolated human first molar, respectively. The normal oral environment and temperature were stimulated, and the shear bonding strength was measured after measured after 10 000 thermal cycles. TM light-cured resin binder and 3M chemical curing adhesive groups was 10.80% and 24.10% respectively, and there was a significant difference (P < 0.05). In vitro experiments confirmed that two kinds of adhesives could meet the clinical requirements, but 3M TransbondTM light-cured resin binder was better than 3M chemical curing adhesive. These findings indicate that compared with 3M chemical curing adhesive, 3M TransbondTM light-cured resin binder is more suitable for the binding between the molar and buccal tubes.

Objective To explore the effect of endothelin (ET)、nitric oxide (NO) in plasma on retinopathy in the pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH). Methods The level of ET and NO in plasma of 75 cases of in-patient women with PIH and 20 cases of women with the full terms and normal pregnancy before and after delivery was determined by radioimmunoassay. The retinopathy of the patients with PIH before and after delivery was detected by appointed doctor. The levels of ET and NO in both groups were compared and the relationship between ET and NO in plasma and the retinopathy before and after the delivery was detected. Results The levels of ET [(145.00?54.41) ng/L] in serious PIH patients were much higher than that in the control [(81.50?43.80) ng/L], the minor [(85.30?33.33) ng/L] and middling PIH group [(90.20?39.25) ng/L]. The levels of ET in plasma before and after pregnancy were not changed in PIH patients [(118.70?33.44) ng/L], but were higher than that in the control group. The levels of plasma NO in serious [(87.56?35.58) ng/L] and middling [(78.11?28.96) ng/L] PIH group were both higher than that in the control group [(46.70?32.64) ng/L], and the levels in minor[(52.56?28.35) ng/L] and middling PIH group were lower than that in the serious PIH group. The level of NO in plasma of PIH patients after the delivery was much lower than that before the delivery, while higher than that in the control. The positive correlation between levels of ET and NO and retinopathy was found in PIH patients. Conclusions The levels of plasma ET and NO in PIH patients are related to the extent of the disease, and the level of ET in plasma is highly related to the retinopathy in PIH patients. ET and NO might be played an important role in pathogenesis of retinopathy and ET might be a good index in reflecting the rank of retinopathy in PIH.

Objective To study the effects of Glycyrrhiza polysaccharide (GP) on immune function in mice. Methods Polysacchayide was extracted from Glycyrrhiza uralensis by water-extraction-alcohol-precipitation method. Ovalbumin was injected to mice as antigens. The mice were randomly divided into four group:low (50 mg/kg), middle (100 mg/kg), high (200 mg/kg) dosage group of GP and normal control group, 12 mice in each group. Four groups were given GP and NS orally for seven days. After the secondary immunization, the level of antibody and the concentration of serum IFN-? were determined. Results The levels of antibodies and cytokines in middle and low dosage group of GP were all significantly higher than those of control group. Conclusion GP could enhance the immune function of mice.

Objective:This study aims to investigate the protein expression of CD133, CD117, and Ki-67 in human osteosarcoma tissues and explore their relationships with the clinico-pathological features and risk of osteosarcoma. Methods:Immunohistochemical method was used to examine the protein expression of CD133, CD117, and Ki-67 gene in the paraffin specimens of 55 and 20 cases of osteosarcoma and osteochondroma, respectively. SPSS17.0 statistical software was used to explore the relationships among the expressions of CD133, CD117, and Ki-67 gene and the biological behavior and prognosis of osteosarcoma. Test criterion:P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:The positive expression rates of CD133, CD117, and Ki-67 were significantly higher in the osteosarcoma tissues than in the benign osteochondroma tissues, and the differences were significant (P=0.016, P=0.008, and P<0.001, respectively). The mean survival and metastasis time were shorter in the CD133 or Ki-67 positively expressed osteosarcoma patients than in those with CD133 or Ki-67 negatively expressed osteosarcoma. The differences were significant (P<0.05). The expression of CD133 and Ki-67, surgical staging, and distal metastasis were relevant to the prognosis of osteosarcoma patients. The expression of CD133 and distal metastasis are the independent risk factors that affect the prognosis of these patients. Conclusion:The positive expressions of CD133 and Ki-67 closely correlated with the occurrence and progression of osteosarcoma, and may be used as an indicator for prognosis of the cancer.

Objective:To determine the expression of miR-17-92 cluster in osteosarcoma tissue samples and explore its associa-tion with clinical significance. Methods: Quantitative polymerase chain reactiom analysis was used to examine the expression of miR-17-92 cluster in osteosarcoma tissues. Normal bone tissues from 63 patients were matched, and the relationships between the ex-pression of miR-17-92 cluster and the clinicopathological features and prognosis of osteosarcoma were explored. Results:The relative expression of miR-17-92 cluster in osteosarcoma tissues was significantly higher than those in adjacent normal tissues (P<0.05). The high expression of miR-17-92 had a significant correlation with reduced survival (P=0.027). Conclusion:The expression of miR-17-92 cluster closely correlates with the occurrence and progress of osteosarcoma and may be used as an indicator for osteosarcoma prognosis.

Lung cancer is characterized by high incidence and mortality rates and invasiveness, and its occurrence and development are influenced by various factors. Mitochondria, as ubiquitous organelles in the human body, regulate cellular processes, such as metabolism, signal transduction, oxidative stress, and genomic instability, thereby affecting the initiation and progression of lung cancer. This article summarizes the recent research progress on mitochondrial-targeted drugs, mitochondrial transfer, and mitochondrial gene therapy for lung cancer treatment. This work also discusses the principles and prospects of mitochondrial therapy to provide new insights for lung cancer treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the role of endoplasmic reticulum ryanodine receptor 1 (RyR1) expression and phosphorylation in sepsis- induced diaphragm dysfunction. METHODS: Thirty SPF male SD rats were randomized equally into 5 groups, including a sham-operated group, 3 sepsis model groups observed at 6, 12, or 24 h following cecal ligation and perforation (CLP; CLP-6h, CLP-12h, and CLP-24h groups, respectively), and a CLP-24h group with a single intraperitoneal injection of KN- 93 immediately after the operation (CLP-24h+KN-93 group). At the indicated time points, diaphragm samples were collected for measurement of compound muscle action potential (CMAP), fatigue index of the isolated diaphragm and fitted frequencycontraction curves. The protein expression levels of CaMK Ⅱ, RyR1 and P-RyR1 in the diaphragm were detected using Western blotting. RESULTS: In the rat models of sepsis, the amplitude of diaphragm CMAP decreased and its duration increased with time following CLP, and the changes were the most obvious at 24 h and significantly attenuated by KN-93 treatment (P < 0.05). The diaphragm fatigue index increased progressively following CLP (P < 0.05) irrespective of KN- 93 treatment (P>0.05). The frequency-contraction curve of the diaphragm muscle decreased progressively following CLP, and was significantly lower in CLP-24 h group than in CLP-24 h+KN-93 group (P < 0.05). Compared with that in the sham-operated group, RyR1 expression level in the diaphragm was significantly lowered at 24 h (P < 0.05) but not at 6 or 12 following CLP, irrespective of KN-93 treatment; The expression level of P-RyR1 increased gradually with time after CLP, and was significantly lowered by KN-93 treatment at 24 h following CLP (P < 0.05). The expression level of CaMKⅡ increased significantly at 24 h following CLP, and was obviously lowered by KN-93 treatment (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Sepsis causes diaphragmatic dysfunction by enhancing CaMK Ⅱ expression and RyR1 receptor phosphorylation in the endoplasmic reticulum of the diaphragm.
