OBJECTIVEThe aim of the study was to detect the expression of Ki67 and P53 proteins in the gingival tissue before and after wearing three kinds of dental casting alloy crowns.

METHODSThe three kinds of dental casting alloys (58% golden alloy, NiCr alloy, NiCr alloy excluding Be) were used to make full crowns for 3 dogs in each group. Another 3 dogs were taken as control. The immunohistochemistry Envision method was used to measure the expression of Ki67 and P53 proteins in the gingival tissue before wearing the crowns, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months after wearing the crowns.

RESULTSThe expression of Ki67 and P53 proteins in gingival tissue increased 1 month after wearing NiCr alloy and NiCr alloy excluding Be, then decreased gradually. And the expression of Ki67 and P53 proteins in 58% golden alloy group was similar to that in control. No pathological change was observed in all samples.

CONCLUSIONTwo kinds of NiCr alloy crowns both can increase the expression of Ki67 and P53 proteins in gingival tissue, but 58% golden alloy crowns can not. So compared with NiCr alloy crowns, 58% golden alloy crowns have better biological properties. And none of three kinds of dental alloy crowns may induce long-term abnormal proliferation in gingival tissue.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effects of Bufei Jianpi Recipe (BJR) on the diaphragmatic neural discharge and the diaphragmatic muscle function in rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

METHODSRats were randomly divided into the normal control group, the model group, the high dose BJR group (9.68 g/kg x d(-1)), the medium dose BJR group (4.84 g/kg x d(-1)), the low dose BJR group (2.42 g/kg x d(-1)), and the aminophylline group (2.3 mg/kg x d(-1)). The stable phase COPD rat model was prepared using repeated smoke inhalations and bacterial infections. The high, medium, and low dose BJR and aminophylline was respectively administered to rats from the ninth week to the twentieth week. The sampling was taken. The lung function, diaphragmatic neural discharge time (Td), and diaphragmatic neural discharge interval (Tdi), diaphragmatic neural discharge range (Rd), diaphragmatic neural discharge area (Ad), expiratory time (Tex), inspiratory time (Tin), respiratory rate (RR), respiratory excursion (RE), respiratory area (RA), and diaphragmatic muscular tension and endurance were detected.

RESULTSCompared with the normal control group, the tidal volume (TV), peak expiratory flow (PEF), and 50% tidal volume expiratory flow (EF50) significantly decreased in the model group (P < 0.01). Td, Tdi, Tex, and Tin were significantly prolonged (P < 0. 05, P < 0.01). Ad, Rd, RR, RE, RA, diaphragmatic muscular tension and endurance significantly decreased (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). The ratio of type I and IIA diaphragmatic fibers significantly increased and type IIB significantly decreased (P < 0.01). The activity of ATP decreased and the activity of SDH increased (P < 0.01). The aforesaid indices were improved to different degrees in BJR groups, especially in the high dose BJR group and the medium dose BJR group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONSBJR could significantly improve the diaphragmatic neural discharge and the diaphragmatic muscle function. Its efficacy was better than that of aminophylline.

Objective To confirm the distribution of high arsenic drinking water and the situation of endemic arsenism in Hubei Province, to provide reference basis for prevention and control of endemic arsenic disease. Methods Using typical investigation and sample investigation in 2006 and 2007, the arsenic content of water was detected sampled from 19 counties(cities or communities). And those water samples which were close to or exceeded the stipulated standard were rechecked by the national standard method. Furthermore, the situation of endemic arsenism was investigated in the cities having high arsenic contents of water. Results In 2006,10 028 water samples of 446 villages in 6 counties (cities or communities) were tested, the wells of high arsenic (> 0.05 mg/L) were found in 5 counties (cities or communities) and the proportion of the well that exceeded stipulated standard was 5.29%(530/10 028); In 2007,19 086 water samples of 1282 villages in 17 counties(cities or communities) were tested, the wells of high arsenic were found in 11 counties(cities or communities), and the proportion of the well that exceeded stipulated standard was 1.74%(333/19 086). In these two years, 29 114 water samples were tested, in which 863 water samples were exceeding the stipulated standard. The 2.96% of total wells exceeded stipulated standard and mainly distributed in 179 villages of 12 counties(cities or communities). And the highest arsenic content of water sample was 2.012 mg/L. In the endemic arsenism area, 2 critical, 1 moderate and 1 mild arsenism patients had been found. Conclusions The water of high arsenic content are scattered in Hubei Province and the situation of endemic arsenism disease is mild. Improving water aiming at decreasing arsenic and establishing patient files should be carried out immediately.
