2.Effect of compressive stress on expression of CTGF in rabbit mandibular condylar chondrocytes in vitro
Journal of Practical Stomatology 2001;0(01):-
Objective:To study the effect of compressive stress on expression of connective tissue growth factor(CTGF) in rabbit mandibular condylar chondrocytes in vitro. Methods:CTGF mRNA were determined by semiquantitative RT-PCR in rabbit mandibular condylar chondrocytes cultured in vitro. Results:Within a certain compressive stress, CTGF mRNA were up-regulated with the increase of compressive stress. While under certain compressive stress, CTGF mRNA were gradually up-regulated following the increase of culturing time, and reaching the maximum at 2~6 h, then gradually down-regulated until at 24 h. Conclusion:Application of different compressive stresses can up-regulate the expression of CTGF mRNA in rabbit mandibular condylar chondrocytes. It may be involved in the stress -mediated mandibular condylar cartilage remodeling.

Objective To establish a method of high resolution melting analysis (HRM) with unlabeled probe for detection of rt204 mutation in HBV P gene.Methods Plasmids with wild strain rt204M,mutant strains rt204I and rt204V were constructed,and the probes were designed and optimized.HRM plots were established by the constructed plasmids.A total of 185 samples were collected from patients with chronic hepatitis B in the Affiliated Hospital of School of Medicine of Ningbo University during May 2010 and May 2012.All samples were detected by HRM,and matched with characteristic melting pattern.rt204 mutations were screened,and then verified by DNA sequencing.Paired x2 test was used for the comparison of the detection of mutations.Results The melting temperatures for rt204I,rt204V and rt204M were 58.0℃,60.6℃ and 62.5℃,respectively.Among 185 samples,168 samples (90.8%) could be analyzed by HRM method,and 155 samples (83.8%) coule be successfully sequenced (P <0.01).In the 155 samples which were completely analyzed by HRM assay and sequencing,75 samples were rt204M,55samples were rt204I,and 25 samples were rt204V by using HRM method,with an overall mutation detection rate of 51.6% (80/155) ; and by sequencing,110 samples were rt204M,30 samples were rt204I,and 15samples were rt204V,with an overall mutation detection rate of 29.0% (45/155).The difference onmutation rates detected by the above two methods was of statistical significance (P < 0.01).Conclusion HRM with unlabeled probe is simple,sensitive,rapid and specific for detection of rt204 mutation in HBV P gene.

With the improvement of people's living standards, the degree of aging is increasing, so the health demands is increasing greatly. In China, General Medicine attracts more and more attention, and the training of general practitioner is important and urgent. First of all ,“providing good service for the patients” should be the central concept in the GP training. Secondly, based on the national conditions, we should learn the modern medicine theories and absorb the essence of“Preventive Treatment of Dis-ease”in traditional Chinese medicine. In the actual implementation process we should pay attention to the integration of western philosophy and modern technology. Finally , we shoulduse the example of Xuanwu Hospital's general practitioner standardization training to conduct empirical research tothe above prelimi-nary understanding of the situation.

Objective To evaluate the role of mierosurgery in surgical treatment to urethrocutaneous fistula after urethroplasty in hypospadias and improve surgical results.Methods From 1999 to 2006,44 urethrocutaneous fistulae (more than 3mm in diameter) after urethroplasty for hypospadias in 33 patients were repaired with different skin flaps.For example,Thiersch technique,urthroplasty,etc.Microsurgical tech- nique was employed in every case.Results The success rates of different procedure were 84.8% (28/33) for Thiersch technique,100% (11/11) for urethroplasty respectively.The total success rate was 88.6%(39/ 44).Conclusion It's just application of skin flap for repairing of big or complex urinary fistula after hypos- padias surgery.The application of microsurgical technique can increase success rate.It is necessary to excise scar and partial urethra for hypospadias fistula combined with urethral structures,cicatricial eontracture and in- curvation of penis.Rich blood-supply,low tension and atraumatic technique are all very important to improve surgery success rates of urinary,fistula after hypospadias repair.

Cancer metastasis is the most dangerous stage of tumorigenesis and evolution, the primary cause of death in cancer patients. Clinically, more than 60% of cancer patients have found metastasis at the time of examination. Modern medicine has made significant progress on the mechanisms of cancer metastasis in recent years, from the simple "anatomy and machinery" theory forward to the "seed and soil" theory, then to the "microenvironmental" theory and the "cancer stem cell" theory. The emerging "cancer stem cell" theory successfully explains phenomenon such as tumor genetic heterogeneity, anoikis resistance, tumor dormancy, providing more new targets and ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer metastasis.
