Objective: To evaluate the effects of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) barrier membrane in guided periodontal tissue regeneration(GTR) . Methods:Nine patients with Ⅱ～Ⅲ furcation lesions were treated by guided tissue regeneration using ePTFE membrane. The membrane was retrieved 5 weeks after operation and examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) . Results:Large amount of lymphocytes were found on the external upper surfaces of ePTFE, with a little bacteria. The external lower surface of ePTFE was full of fibrocytes, red blood cells and lymphocytes.Conclusion:ePTFE membrane is biocompatible and can close the primary wound over a barrier which stops the downgrowth of junctional epithelium at the early stage of periodontal tissue repair after operation.

Smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation, platelet free calcium level and aggregation of experimental atherosclerotic rabbits were investigated in this study. Aortic SMC ofhyperlipidemic rabbits in vitro showed higher growth activity than did normal rabbit SMC. And also hyperlipidemic serum stimulated SMC to proliferate at a significantly greater rate than control serum. Moreover, the level of platelet free calcium and the platelet aggregation was also higher in hyperlipidemic rabbits, indicating that activitated platelets possibly release more PDGF to act as a stimulator to SMC proliferation and calcium is an important factor to activate platelets. Furthermore, SMC from 8501-treated rabbits appeared lower proliferative rate than thecells from hyperlipidemic rabbits. And serum from those rabbits inhibited SMC proliferation compared with hyperlipidemic serum, the inhibitory effect was even stronger than that of normal serum. It may be relevant to the favorable effects of 8501 to TXA2/PGI2 balance.

Objective To discuss the value of systolic blood pressure during recovery rate using treadmill exercise test to diagnose coronary heart disease.Methods A total of 88 patients underwent treadmill test and coronary angiography within 2 weeks,and the relativity was analysed between the third minute systolic blood pressure(3SBP)during recovery rate and the results of coronary angiography.Results The sensitivity、specificity、accuracy and prognostication of the third minute systolic blood pressure were:55.6%、82.0%、73.9% and 57.7%.Conclusion The index of the third minute systolic blood pressure is much more significant than the traditional ST standard in the specificity、accuracy and prognostication of diagnosing coronary heart disease.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of guided tissue regeneration(GTR) in the treatment of degree Ⅱ-Ⅲ furcation defects with collagen membranes.Methods: 11 sites with Ⅱ-Ⅲ furcation defects were treated with collagen membranes(group of GTR); 10 sites received flap operation(group of FO). Clinical indexes, radiographs and gingival crevicular fluid(GCF) was collected before surgery and 3 months after treatment. Alkaline phosphatase(ALP) in GCF was measured. The data were analyzed statistically. Results: 3 months after surgery, the clinical parameters of PD, PFD and AL were decreased(P0.05). The decreace of the clinical parameters measured in group GTR was more than that in group FO(P

Apoptosis, an intrinsic cell death model which is regulated by organisms, is essential for the maintenance of tissue homeostasis in multicellular organisms. Recently, researchers on cell apoptosis have paid more attention on mitochondrion than on nucleus. Different death stimulus induces opening of PT pore, degradation of mitochondrial transmembrane potential, activation of caspase and inducing cell apoptosis. Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL inhibit cell apoptosis via mitochondrion while Bax, Bak and Bad induce apoptosis by means of regulation of mitochondrion.

Objective To improve understanding of infectious mononucleosis by reporting the clinical data of 21 adults diagnosed as infectious mononucleosis.Methods We investigated retrospectively the clinical and laboratory data of 21 patients diagnosed as infectious mononucleosis.Results Among those 21 cases,the manifestations were fever(19 cases,90%),angina(14 cases,67%),lymphadenopathy(15cases,71%),hepatosplenomegaly (9 cases, 43%).Laboratory results showed that increased leucocyte count (10 cases,48%),high percentage of abnormal lymphocytes between 10% to 29%(14 cases,67%),abnormal liver function(18 cases,86%),positive Epstein -Barr virus capsid antigen IgM(18 cases,86%).All 21 patients were get better.Conclusion It showed that the clinical manifestations of infectious mononucleosis in adults were complex and diverse.The diagnosis should be combined with clinical manifestations and relevant examination.The outcome of this disease is good.

Objective:To evaluate the biocompatibility of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-1) gene transfected bone marrow stem cells (MSCs) with ostrich true bone ceramic (OTBC). Methods:Rat MSCs were transfected with IGF-1 gene, and positive clones were selected by G418. The expression of IGF-1 protein in the MSCs was detected by immunocytochemical technique. The IGF-1 transfected MSCs were cultured with OTBC and the morphology of the cells was observed by scanning electronic microscope(SEM) at different time point. Results:Immunohistochemical staining suggested that the IGF-1 protein was expressed in the IGF-1 transfected MSCs. The cells adhered to OTBC and stretched well after 24 h of culture. The IGF-1 transfected MSCs proliferated on the surface of OTBC with culture time.Conclusion:The OTBC has a good biocompatibility with IGF-1 transfected MSCs.

The 987P fimbriae of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) mediates adhesive interactions with brush border vesicle (BBV) of the intestinal epithelial cells from the neonatal piglets. By adhering to intestinal epithelial cells, producing localized multiplication, the 987P ETEC can progress to mucosal surface colonization and concomitant effective enterotoxin delivery. To identify the receptors for the 987P, BBV proteins from piglet intestinal villous epithelial cells were separated by SDS-PAGE and analyzed by Ligand blot, protein bands with a set of 32-35 kD recognized by the 987P fimbriae were subjected to in gel proteolysis with trypsin. The tryptic fragments were separated by microbore reversed phase HPLC(RP-HPLC), samples shown to contain one major peak by MALDI-MS were submitted to Edman sequencing, three peptides were sequenced successfully and the all of three peptides matched the sequences of human or porcine histone H1 proteins. Porcine histone H1 proteins isolated from both piglet intestinal epithelial cells and BBV demonstrated the same SDS-PAGE migration pattern and 987P-binding properties as the 987P-specific protein receptors from piglet intestinal brush border did. The above results indicated that the 987P protein receptors are piglet BBV-derived Histone H1 proteins.

Objective To assess the therapeutic efficacy of colonic tumor with targeted microbubbles encapsulated VEGFR2 monoantibody (mAb) combined with ultrasonic abrupted destroy.Methods Seventeen Balb/C nude mice with subcutaneous colonic carcinoma xenografts were divided into three groups:group A (5 mice) underwent contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) examination and sham ultrasonic abrupted destroy;group B (6 mice) underwent lipid-microbubbles administration combined with ultrasonic irradiation;group C (6 mice) underwent VEGFR2 monoantibody-loaded microbubbles injection combined with ultrasonic irradiation.Red fluorescent protein(RFP) was labeled to all the nude mice model.Both CEUS and flurography were performed before and one week after abrupted destroy.The size,fluroscent area and fluroscent intensity(FI) and vessel density (VD) of each tumor were measured and compared.Results The parameters of length,fluroseent area,FI and VD of each tumor before abrupted destroy were no significant difference among three groups ( P ＞0.05).Parameters of post-sham ultrasonic abrupted destroy in group A were higher than those before sham ultrasonic abrupted destroy ( P ＜0.05).FI and VD in group B were significantly lower than those after abrupted destroy( P ＜0.05).There were no difference of length,fluroscent area of tumor in group B between pre- and post- ultrasonic abrupted destroy (P ＞0.05).Length,fluroscent area,FI and VD of each tumor in groups C were decreased significantly compared with post ultrasonic abrupted destroy ( P ＜0.01 ).There were significant difference of length,fluroscent area,FI and VD of each tumor among groups after ultrasonic abrupted destroy( P ＜0.05).Conclusions VEGFR2 mAb-loaded lipid microbubble combined with ultrasonic abrupted destroy can improve the therapeutic efficacy of colonic tumor.
