Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy between preparation porcelain veneer(PPV)and no-preparation porcelain veneer(NPPV).Methods:44 patients with 97 PPVs and 23 patients with 57 NPPVs were followed up for 3 years.Mental tension, postoperative dentin sensitivity and satisfaction of the patients,survival rate of the veneers,sulcus bleeding index(SBI)of preopera-tive and postoperative 3 years were evaluated.A comparative analysis was taken to examine the clinical indicators of 2 groups accord-ing to the modified CDA /Ryge criteria.Results:Survival rates of PPVs and NPPVs were 96.91 % and 96.49%(P >0.05),satisfac-tion rates of the 2 group patients were 95.45% and 95.65%(P >0.05),respectively.Mental tension and the postoperative dentin sensitivity of patients in PPV group was higher than those in NPPV group.Preoperative and postoperative SBI were not statistically dif-ferent between the 2 groups(P >0.05).Marginal adaptation in PPV group was better than that in NPPV group.Color matching, Porcelain surface and Marginal stain were not statistically different between 2 groups.Conclusion:Preparation porcelain veneers and no-preparation porcelain veneers both are effective in clinical application.

Objective　To observe the effects of Ang-Ⅱ on expressions of c-fos mRNA and pro-α1［Ⅰ］mRNA in fibroblasts (FBC) of rat embryo in the course of collagen synthesis.Methods　The change of free Ca2+(［Ca2+］i) was tested in fluorometry and the expressions of c-fos mRNA and pro-α1［Ⅰ］mRNA were tested by RT-PCR method in incubated FBC.Results　The level of［Ca2+］i in FBC and the expressions of c-fos mRNA and pro-α1［Ⅰ］mRNA were enhanced with the increase of Ang-Ⅱ concentration(10-8～10-5and 10-7～10-6mol/L).Conclusions　The expressions of c-fos mRNA and pro-α1［Ⅰ］mRNA were induced by Ang-Ⅱ activating signal system in FBC.

Objective:To determine whether chewing gum during the postoperative period facilitates the recovery of bowel function in patients after radical cystectomy with ileum urinary diversion.Methods:In the study,60 patients who underwent radical cystectomy followed by ileum urinary diversions during Nov.2014 and Nov.2015 in Department of Urology of Peking University First Hospital were randomized into three groups:gum chewing group,placebo group treated with the abdomen physical therapy machine and control group treated with ordinary method.Time to flatus,time to bowel movement,incidence of postoperative distension of the abdomen and abdominal pain,and gut related complications (such as ileus,intestinal fistula,and volrulus)of all the patients were recorded and analysed.Results:In gum chewing group,the median time to flatus was 57 hours (49 -72 hours),and the median time to bowel movement was 95 hours (88 -109 hours),which were significantly shortened compared with the other two groups of patients (82 hours,109 hours in placebo group and 81 hours,108 hours in control group, respectively).No significant difference of the median time to flatus and to bowel movement was observed between placebo group and control group.There were no significant differences in the incidence of post-operative distension of the abdomen and abdominal pain,and gut related complications among the three groups.Conclusion:Chewing gum had stimulatory effect on bowel function recovery after cystectomy fol-lowed by ileum urinary diversion.Chewing gum was safe and simple,and could be routinely used for postoperative treatment after cystectomy and ileum urinary diversion.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the correlation between decocting time (DT), administration dosage (AD) and efficacy of warming Yang of crude lateral root of aconite (CLRA) , and the best DT and AD to efficacy of warming Yang of the CLRA.

METHODAccording to the efficacy of the CLRA supplementing fire and strengthening Yang, several animal models, including a constipation induced by insufficiency of Yang, kidney Yang deficient models, uniform design (UD) and regression analysis were applied to confirm the best DT and AD of the different actions of the CLRA.

RESULTThe CLRA obviously improved the general state of kidney-yang deficiency mice, markedly increased their swimming depleted time in lower temperature, and evidently decreased the defecation latency, promoted defecation amount, and improved peristalsis frequency of intestines and stomach. The best DT and AD were 6 hours and 12 g x kg(-1) respectively for the CLRA to warm the kidney, spleen yang and to smooth defecation.

CONCLUSIONThe CLRA possesses the remarkable efficacy of warming Yang, which is obviously correlated with the DT and AD. The best DT and AD for CLRA to warm Yang are 6 hours and 12 g x kg(-1) respectively.

Objective To explore the possible effects of nutritional supplements on brain function as reflected by Water Maze test performance in mice after +Gz exposure.Method Mice were arranged into control group (group A),+Gz group without nutritional supplementation (group B) and +Gz plus nutritional supplementation group (group C).Each group contains 12 mice.Mice in group A were not exposed to +Gz while mice in both group B and group C were exposed to 8 min +10 Gz.Distilled water was gavaged to group B mice 3 h before +Gz exposure.On the day before +Gz exposure pyridoxol fortified water was given and 3 h before exposure mixed amino acids solution were gavaged to group C mice.Water Maze test was done and scores were recorded in all groups.After the Water Maze test was completed,blood was collected through the eyes for serum amino acid determinations and brain tissue was collected by decollation for monoamine determination and γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT) activity evaluation. Result After +Gz exposure,longer completion time and more mistakes were observed in Water Maze test in group B as compared with group A and a trend of improvement in group C was noticed. The ratio of brain 5-HT to dopamine(DA) was significantly reduced in group C as compared with group B.Gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) activity in brain tissue in group C and group B increased significantly. Conclusion High sustained +Gz exposure significantly reduces Water Maze test performance in mice (longer completion time and more mistakes).It seems that there is a trend of improvement in Water Maze performance in mice in dietary nutritional supplementation group,which might be due to significant reduction in ratio of brain 5-HT to DA in mice with nutritional supplementation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility of hTGF-β1 transfected bone mrrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSCs) combined with calcium alginate gel in three dimensional condition to construct tissue engineering cartilage.MethodsRats BMSCs were obtained and cultured by whole bone marrow method,and then the third-generation cells were seeded into cell culture plate,and were divided into 3 groups:AdhTGF-β1 transfected group, Ad-EGFP transfected group and control group. The control group was added in common medium without any treatment while the other 2 groups were respectively added in serum-free medium containing Ad-hTGF-β1 or that containing Ad-EGFP.Seven days later,real-time fluorescent quantitation PCR and Western blot were employed for detecting the expression of TGF-β1.Then,the BMSCs which successfully transfected by Ad-hTGF-β1,were continually cultured in vitro.Andthe confound of cells-calcium alginate gel,the cell density was 1.0 × l07 per ml,were prepared and cultuered in constant temperature incubator.Ten days later,examine the morphous and proliferation of cell.Last,paraffin slice of the cell-gel confound was stained by HE,toluidine blue and Masson staining,while immunohistochemical for the secretion of collagen Ⅱ.ResultsSeven days after the transfection, real-time fluorescent quantitation PCR revealed that the average relative expression of TGF-β1 was:Ad-hTGF-β1 group 0.863,and Ad-EGFP group 0.183, the control group 0.180, and the expression difference of TGF-β1 was statistically diffence(P ＜0.05). Western blot proved strong TGF-β1 expression in Ad-hTGF-β1 group while it was detected a little in the other two groups. Globose cells were observed through inverted microscope in the calcium alginate gel.MTT proved the amount of cells were not statistically diffence (P ＞ 0.05) at different time point.HE staining proved amount cartilage lacuna formation in the gel, while the secretion of cartilage matrix were proved by toluidine blue and Masson,and immunohistochemical proved the expression of collagen Ⅱ.Conclusion BMSC trnsfected by hTGF-β1 could be successfully induced to chondrocyte, as the cells morphous maintained.This three dimensional condition could preferably mimicry cell growth pattern as in vivo.

AIMTo explore the effect of Cdc25B overexpression on the development of mouse two-cell embryos.

METHODSThe pBSK-Cdc25B was in vitro transcribed into 5'-capped mRNA for microinjection by using mMESSAGE mMACHINE kit. The Cdc25B mRNA was microinjected into mouse embryos at two-cell stage in order to observe the embryonic development and cleavage rate. Using protein kinase activity assay and Western blot to detect the MPF activity as well as the phosphorylation status of Cdc2-Tyr15 in Cdc25B overexpression group respectively.

RESULTSThe mouse embryos with Cdc25B overexpression developed to the four-cell stage 48 h after the hCG injection with the percentage of cleavage over 40% compared with the embryos in control groups which still remained at the two-cell stage. Moreover, MPF activity increased significantly after Cdc25B mRNA injection. The phosphorylation status of Cdc2-Tyr15 was coincident with MPF activity.

CONCLUSIONThe results indicate that Cdc25B overexpression in early mouse two-cell embryos reverses two-cell block and promotes their development into four-cell stage by activating MPF.
