AIM: To isolate three kinds of bufadienolides composition from Venenum bufonis in order to investigate their antitumor activity in vitro.METHODS: Alcohol extraction and isolation by Silica gel colume were employed in this study.Their antitumor activities in vitro were evaluated by MTT colorimetric method.RESULTS: With such methods,three kinds of bufadienolides,including Bufalin,cinobufagin,and resibufogenin with purity above 90% were prepared.The in-vitro results showed that three kinds of bufadienolides had prominent inhibition effect on human lung cancer A549 cells,human breast cancer MDA-MB-435 cells in the range of 0.001 ?g/mL ～ 100 ?g/mL.CONCLUSION: Isolation by Silica gel colume can be used to separate three kinds of bufadienolides from Venenum bufonis and its constituents has prominent anti-cancer effects.

Objective:To observe the histological character of distraction osteogenesis(DO) in the mandible of goat using an intraoral tooth-supported distraction device. Methods:8 goats (7-9 months of age) were divided into 4 groups with 2 goats per group. After a bilateral mandibular corticectomy between the second and third premolars, self-produced intraoral tooth-supported distraction devices were cemented. 5 days after operation,the distraction devices were begun to be activated 0.25 mm every 12 hours to advance the anterior segment 8 mm in 16 days. The animals of 32 days group were injected with tetracycline fluorescence labeing at 10 ml/kg once perweek from the beginning of DO.The animals were sacrificed on day 8,16,32 and 48 separately post activation, and tetracycline fluorescence labeling,HE staining and Mallory's 3-color staining were performed. Results:Tetracycline fluorescence labeling showed that there was green-yellow fluorescence labeling new bone within the distraction gap; HE and Mallory's trichrome staining showed that new bone gradually formed from bilateral sides, gradually blending and remodeling. The fiber bundles and newly formed trabeculas and various cells in early phrases showed to be orientation-directed along the axis of distraction force. Conclusion: New bone can be formed and regenerated along the axis of distraction force within the distraction gap.

Objective:To investigate the effects of strain force on t he expression of osteoclast differentiation factor(ODF) and osteoclasto-genesis i nhibitory factor(OCIF) in human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLCs). Met hods: HPDLCs were subjected to cyclic strain force for 0, 6, 12 and 24 h ours, mRNA expression of ODF and OCIF were determined by RT-PCR. Result s:After treatment of the cells for 0,6,12 and 24 hours the ODF/?-actio n values were 0.7280?0.0261,0.6831?0.0411,0.5801?0.2230 and 0.4572?0.0373( P0.05) respectively.Conclusion:Strain force may decrease the expression of ODF and increase the expression of OCIF.

Objective:To establish the cephalometric norms of soft tissue of adults in Xi'an area with normal occlusion.Methods:120 college students with normal occlusion(60 male and 60 female), aged from 18-22 years old in Xi'an city were selected.Lateral cephalometric film was taken by cephalometer for all the subjects at intercuspal occlusion.Then the films were traced on vitriolic paper, and the points were put into computer through digitizier. Statistic analysis were made and the data were compared with norms of adolescents already obtained.Results:Studied by Holdaway analysis,in the males FH-PgG' and Li-Pg' Ls of adults were bigger than those of adolescents, while Ss-Ls,Sn-H,Ls-Si and H-N'pg' were smaller(P0.05).Conclusion:The 3 sets of norms of soft tissue analysis obtained through this study may be applied as the norms of adults with normal occlusion.

[Summary] The basic data and serum targets of 3 349 residents were collected by multi stage stratified cluster random sampling and analyzed by correlation and regression analysis to access its association with cardiovascular risk factors. The result showed that morbidity of hyperuricemia was 18. 85% . The risk of hyperuricemia was raised in people with high triglycerides, high low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol ( LDL-C), low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C), and low estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR). The people with hyperuricemia are usually accompanied with many cardiovascular risk factors.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of IL-17, the signature cytokine produced by Th17 cells, in OLP lesion. Methods 24 patients with reticular OLP, 19 patients with atrophic-erosive OLP and 13 healthy volunteers were enrolled in this study . Real-time quantitative PCR ( real-time qPCR ) was performed to analyze the expressions of the production of IL-17 and CCL20 mRNA. Results The expressions of IL-17 mRNA in reticular OLP and atrophic-erosive OLP were significant higher than that in healthy oral mucosa (P = 0.0095, P <0.0001, respectively), meanwhile, remarkable increased IL-17 expression in atrophic-erosive OLP group was found compared with reticular OLP group (P = 0.0012). Additionally, the expressions of CCL20 mRNA in reticular OLP and atrophic-erosive OLP were significant higher than that in control group (P=0.0357, P<0.0001, respectively), meanwhile, CCL20 expression in atrophic-erosive OLP was higher than that in reticular OLP. The expressions of CCL20 mRNA rises with the increased expression of IL-17, and were positive correlated with IL-17 expressions in OLP lesions (P=0.003). Conclusions IL-17 production can induce chemokine CCL20 expression in OLP lesion. The signal pathway may promote the migration and infiltration of inflammatory cells in OLP lesions.

Objective To study the effect of oxidative modification of hydrochlorous acid (HOCl) on human serum albumin (HSA) and the relationship between the AOPPs and HOCl-treated HSA. Methods Purified HSA (60 mg/ml) was treated with HOCl (0, 1, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 mmol/L). Size-exclusion chromatography was applied to estimate molecular weights of oxidized products of HSA by HOCl and spectrum scan from 190 nm -400 nm was performed to observe the spectrum characteristics of all variants of HSA. Results Major products of HSA after exposure to HOC1 were dimer and hexmer of HSA. The first-order process could be employed to describe the oxidative dynamics of monomer and dimer of HSA oxidized by HOCl. To AOPPs formation mediated by oxidant was identified as pseudo first-order reaction. However, formation hexmer was much in accordance with second-order reaction. Hexmer was also a major contributor to AOPPs in all types of modified HSA. Spectral analysis showed that red shift of absorbance maximum of polymers of HSA occurred, suggesting that a possibility that polymers of HSA were cross linked by tyrosine residues in protein. Conclusions Protein aggregation is primary consequence of HSA after its exposure to HOCl. Hexmer of HSA is the major contributor to AOPPs.

Objective To investigate the reliability and sensitivity of a three dimensional motion analysis system by using the segmental method.Methods Ten healthy young men participated in this study.They were asked to stand with one leg and with their eyes open and closed,respectively,each lasted for 30 seconds and was re- peated twice.According to the 12-segment rigid body model of the human body,twenty-one infrared light emitting di- ode(1RED)markers were placed over the bony prominences on the proximal and distal ends of each segment,the motion track of the IRED markers was recorded by the three dimensional motion analysis system.The mean sway am- plitude( MSA )and the sway path(SP)of the center of gravity(COG)were calculated.Correlation analysis was used to determine the reliability between the two repetitions.Paired sample t-test was used to determine the sensitivity be- tween the eyes open and closed conditions.Results The correlation coefficients of the MSA of the COG in the eyes open and closed conditions were 0.623 and 0.018,respectively,and the correlation coefficients of the SP of the COG were 0.936 and 0.654,respectively.It was also shown that significant differences existed among the three directions of the MSA of the COG and the SP of the COG.Conclusion Besides the weak reliability of the MSA of COG in the eyes closed condition,the high reliability and sensitivity of the MSA and SP of the COG are found.The segmental method can be used in the scientific study of human balance control.
