Objective To investigate the optimal window width and window level for measuring the airway dimensions with spiral CT scan in Japanese white big-ear rabbits so as to lay the foundation for airway stenting in animal experiments. Methods Multi-slice spiral CT scanning of cervico-thoracic region was performed in 30 healthy adult Japanese white big-ear rabbits, the anteroposterior and transversal diameter of the thoracic trachea, the anteroposterior diameter of the right and left bronchus were measured with lung window, mediastinum window and special fat window separately. The revealing rate of the tracheal wall and the measuring results in different windows and levels were recorded and compared with the anatomical data. The differences of the relevant data were statistically analyzed. Results With lung window, the tracheal wall was well demonstrated, but the relevant data were smaller than that with mediastinum window. With mediastinum window, the data were bigger and the tracheal wall border appeared blurred. The results obtained with fat window were close to the actual anatomical data. Conclusion For accurately measuring the anteroposterior and transversal diameter of the thoracic trachea in Japanese white big-ear rabbits with multi-slice spiral CT scan, fat window should be adopted, which is helpful for the preparation of tracheal and bronchial stents.

Objective:To explore the application of the Simodont dental trainer in preclinical manual dexterity training for dental students of different grades, and to discuss its effect by quantitatively evaluating their practice results.Methods:The evaluation was conducted among 118 students in the Department of Stomatology, Shantou University Medical College from Batch 2015 to Batch 2018. Each student had five different manual dexterity modules for training. Each module had three levels of difficulty and was required to be completed in 30 minutes. The assessment index included Target, Leeway Bottom and Sides, Container Bottom and Sides, which was provided by the Simodont dental trainer. The operating time (in seconds), the displacement of the dental hand pieces and the dental mirrors (in meters) were simultaneously recorded. SPSS 25.0 was used for statistical analysis.Results:For the index Target, Leeway Bottom and Sides, Container Bottom and Sides, the results showed that there was a statistical difference between students who passed pre-clinical training and who did not take the professional course ( P < 0.001). For the index Target, differences were showed among students from different grades in all modules ( P < 0.001). Conclusion:The circle module, channel module, hollow-circle module and cross-module in the Simodont dental trainer have sensitivity to discriminate the manual dexterity of different levels of dental students. The further assessment of the discrimination of the manual dexterity is required for assume-block module. The Simodont dental trainer can quantitatively measure the manual dexterity of dental students, which is important for the quantitative evaluation of dental preclinical education.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of action of miR-196b in regulating the growth and apoptosis of hepatoma cells by targeting nuclear apoptosis-inducing factor 1 (NAIF1). MethodsReal-time PCR was used to measure the expression of miR-196b in hepatoma HuH-7, SNU-449, HepG2, and SMCC7721 cells versus normal human HL7702 hepatocytes. The hepatoma HepG2 cells were collected and divided into Control group (blank control), Anti-NC group (transfected with inhibitor control), Anti-miR-196b group (transfected with miR-196b inhibitor), si-NC group (transfected with siRNA control), si-NAIF1 group (transfected with NAIF1 siRNA), Anti-miR-196b+si-NAIF1 group (co-transfected with miR-196b inhibitor and NAIF1 siRNA), and Anti-miR-196b+si-NC group (co-transfected with miR-196b inhibitor and siRNA control). MTT assay was used to measure the change in proliferation, plate colony formation assay was used to measure colony formation ability, flow cytometry was used to measure cell apoptosis, and Western blot was used to measure the protein expression of Bax and C-caspase-3. Target gene prediction software predicted that NAIF1 might be a target gene of miR-196b, and the luciferase reporting system was used to identify the targeting relationship. The t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups; a one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups, and the SNK-q test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsThere was a significant difference in the expression level of miR-196b between hepatoma HuH-7, SNU-449, HepG2, and SMCC7721 cells and normal human HL7702 hepatocytes (1.85±0.16/1.63±012/2.36±0.25/1.92±0.13 vs 1.00±0.09, F=29.05, P<0.001). Compared with the Anti-NC group, the Anti-miR-196b group had significant reductions in the expression level of miR-196b (0.42±0.03 vs 1.02±0.10, P<0.05), cell proliferation (0.20±0.02 vs 0.30±0.05, P<0.05), and colony formation ability (64.35±6.97 vs 119.54±11.82, P<0.05) and significant increases in apoptosis rate (22.30%±2.09% vs 4.26%±0.35%, P<0.05) and relative protein expression of Bax (0.69±0.08 vs 0.30±0.05, P<0.05) and C-caspase-3 (0.63±0.05 vs 0.21±0.04, P<0.05). Compared with the si-NC group, the si-NAIF1 group had significant increases in proliferation ability (0.46±0.05 vs 0.31±0.04, P<0.05) and colony formation ability (138.92±9.66 vs 118.47±838, P<0.05) and significant reductions in apoptosis rate (4.12%±0.40% vs 1.23%±0.12%, P<0.05), NAIF1 (0.10±0.01 vs 0.17±0.02, P<0.05), and protein expression of Bax (0.18±0.02 vs 0.29±0.03, P<0.05) and C-caspase-3 (0.12±0.01 vs 020±0.03, P<0.05). Compared with the Anti-miR-196b+si-NC group, the Anti-miR-196b+si-NAIF1 group had significant increases in proliferation ability (0.28±0.02 vs 0.21±0.03, P<0.05) and colony formation ability (97.12±8.23 vs 66.35±5.20, P<0.05) and significant reductions in apoptosis rate (9.60%±1.11% vs 21.14%±1.32%, P<0.05), NAIF1 (0.30±0.04 vs 0.52±0.06, P<0.05), and protein expression of Bax (0.28±0.03 vs 0.67±0.06, P<0.05) and C-caspase-3 (0.22±0.05 vs 0.60±004, P<0.05). ConclusionDownregulation of miR-196b can inhibit the growth and induce the apoptosis of hepatoma cells via negative regulation of NAIF1.
