Objective To explore the effect of oxymatrine o n the airway inflammation and the cytokine production in asthmatic mice. Methods Forty BALB/c mice were divided into four groups in cluding a control group (group A), an asthmatic model group (group B), a dexamet hasone treatment group (group C) and a oxymatrine treatment group (group D). Ast hma mouse models in group B, group C and group D were prepared by injecting oval bumin (OVA) into the abdominal cavity and inhalation of aerosol. Group C were in jected dexamethasone, and group D recceived oxymatrine on day 15 to 22 .The numb er of EOS and the concentration of IL-4 and IL-5 and IFN-? in th e mouse bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (BALF) were detected. Results Oxymatrine could significantly reduce the mumber of EOS and the concentration of IL-4 and IL-5, and increase the level of IFN-? in the BALF of asthmatic mice. Significant difference was fo und between group D and group A or B(P0.05). Conclusion Oxymatrine can remarkably reduce the mumber of i nflammation cells in the BALF, and influence the level of cytokines so as to imp rove airway inflammation in the patients with asthma.

Objective To investigate the difference between the self-evaluation of patients with dental and facial esthetics in skeletal malocclusion and normal persons.Methods The subjects were divided into three groups:62 patients with skeletal Class Ⅱ,84 patients with skeletal Class Ⅲ,as well as 130 persons in control group.There was no obvious difference in gender and age among the three groups.Happiness with dental and facial appearance was assessed using questionnaires.Analysis of variance,linear regression and logistic regression were used for statistical analysis.Results Skeletal malocclusion patients were less happy with their dental appearance than control group.Class Ⅱ patients and women had lower happiness scores for their dental appearance.Among skeletal malocclusion patients,the shape (44.5 ％) and prominence of their teeth (17.8 ％) were the most frequent causes of concern.Older subjects,women,and skeletal malocclusion patients were less happy with their facial appearance.Most of them were dissatisfied with the facial appearance focused on the chin (53 ％),facial contours (37 ％),and the position of the teeth when smiling (33 ％).A greater proportion of Class Ⅲ subjects than Class Ⅱ subjects wished to change their appearance.Conclusions The findings indicate that women and skeletal malocclusion patients have lower levels of happiness with their dentofacial appearance.Although Class Ⅱ patients exhibit the lowest levels of happiness with their dental appearance,there is some evidence that concerns and awareness about their facial profile are more pronounced among the Class Ⅲ patients.

Objective To explore the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic total colectomy for familial adenomatous polyposis. Methods All 9 patients with familial adenomatous polyposis received laparoscopic total colectomy were analyzed. Results Laparoscopic total colecto-my was successfully performed in all the 9 patients. The operative time,blood loss,flatus and hospitalization were respectively 230~310 min, 80~210 mL,2~3 days and 12~14 days. All patients were followed up for 6~36 months. The postoperative recovery was good. Conclusion Total colectomy can be successfully perfomed with laparoscopic assisted in treating familial adenomatous poliposis. It is a feasible and safe surgical procedure and can significantly improve the quality life.

Objective To development a cooling crystallization process that is suitable for industrial preparation of purified dihydromyricetin.Methods Screen design was used to investigate effects of process parameters such as,temperature,concentration ethanol aqueous,quantity of activated charcoal and adsorption time on yield and purity of dihydromyricetin.Purity was verified by high performance liquid chromatography and thin layer chromatography.The solubility of dihydromyricetin in water at viable temperature and ethanol proportion was also determined by UV spectrophotometry.The solid form was characterized by thermal analysis and powder X-ray diffractometry.Results When temperature was ＞ 85 ℃,ethanol concentration ＜ 10％,dosage of activated charcoal 0.1％-0.3％,and adsorption time 1-3 min,yield of dihydromyricetin was more than 70％,and the purity greater than 98％.The crystals,prepared by cooling crystallization from water and ethanol aqueous,had the same physical form and crystal habit.Conclusion Cooling crystallization from low concentration of ethanol aqueous gets higher yield and the process is more robust than crystallization from water.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effects of carbon monoxide releasing molecule-2 (CORM-2) on experimental periodontitis in rats.

METHODSForty-two Wistar rats were divided into three groups. Rats in the normal group (NL group) did not undergo any procedure, whereas the other rats were ligatured and treated with saline solution (NaCl 0.9%) (LO group) or treated with CORM-2 (10 mg kg(-1) per day) (CO group). A 3-0 silk suture was placed around the mandibular first molars. Rats were sacrificed after 3, 7, and 10 d. Blood samples were collected from all animals for tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) analysis. Changes in alveolar bone levels were measured clinically, and periodontal tissues were histopathologically examined to assess the infiltration of inflammatory cells.

RESULTSLigature placement increased alveolar bone loss and inflammatory cell infiltration in periodontal tissue. Alveolar bone loss in CO group was significantly higher than that in NL group, but was lower than that in LO group (P<0.05). The ratio of inflammatory cell infiltration in LO group was significantly higher than that in CO and NL groups, and that in CO group was lower than in LO group (P<0.05). Serum levels of TNF-alpha and IL-1beta in the LO group were significantly higher than those in the CO and NL groups, and those in CO group were lower than in LO group (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONSystemic administration of CORM-2 reduced periodontal inflammation and alveolar bone loss in experimental periodontitis in rats.

BACKGROUND:Animal experiments and clinical studies have shown that, functional deprivation at the early development stage may possibly cause nerve and cognition dysfunction at adulthood. However, no research focuses on the effect of olfactory function on the neurogenesis in piriform cortex of adult guinea pigs.
OBJECTIVE:To establish olfactory deprivation models and explore the effect of olfactory experience on the distribution of doublecortin, parvalbumin, glutamic acid decarboxylase 67 and the co-localization of doublecortin with neuron-specific nuclear-binding protein in piriform cortex of adult guinea pigs.
METHODS:Twenty guinea pigs were randomly divided into two groups. Olfactory deprivation models were established through unilateral naris-occlusion and the occluded animals were al owed to survive 3 and 6 weeks, then the specimens were harvested. The distribution of doublecortin, parvalbumin, glutamic acid decarboxylase 67 was detected with immunohistochemistry. The co-localization of doublecortin with neuron-specific nuclear-binding protein in piriform cortex of adult guinea pigs was determined with immunofluorescence method.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The number of doublecortin, parvalbumin, glutamic acid decarboxylase 67 positive cel s in piriform cortex at the undeprived side was significantly higher than that at the deprived side at 3 and 6 weeks (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the co-localization of doublecortin with neuron-specific nuclear-binding protein in piriform cortex at 3 weeks group and 6 weeks group (P>0.05). The findings suggest that olfactory experience promotes the maturation and differentiation of neurons in piriform cortex of adult guinea pigs.
