This study aimed at investigating the effects of Guttiferone K (GUTK),a polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs) compound isolated from Garcinia yunnanensis,on the cell proliferation of human prostate cancer LNCaP cell line.Human prostate cancer LNCaP cells in the period of logarithmic phase were treated with GUTK.MTI assay was used to detect cell proliferation.Flow cytometry of propidium iodide (PI) staining,BrdU assay and immunocytochemistry were adopted to analyze the cell cycle phase distribution.Protein levels of Cyclin A,p27 and SKP2 were detected by western blotting.The results showed that GUTK inhibited the proliferation and induced G0/1 arrest of LNCaP cells in a time and dose dependent manner.The protein levels of Cyclin A and SKP2 were decreased,while p27 was increased by GUTK in human prostate cancer LNCaP cells.It was concluded that GUTK,a compound isolated from G.yunnanensis,presented the effect of inhibiting the cell proliferation by inducing G0/1 arrest of human prostate cancer LNCaP cells,with potential anti-prostate cancer action.

Objective To investigate the effects of miR-335-5p on the proliferation and apoptosis of osteoblasts which were exposed to high glucose condition, and explore its possible molecular mechanisms. Methods MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts were divided into four groups:control group(5. 5 mmol/L glucose), high glucose group(HG group, 22. 0 mmol/L glucose), agomir-335-5p group(transfected with agomir-335-5p and exposed to 22. 0 mmol/L glucose) , and agomir negative control group( agomir NC group, transfected with agomir negative control and exposed to 22. 0 mmol/L glucose), cultured for 7 days. Cell proliferaton, cell apoptosis, expressions of miR-335-5p and dickkopfhomolog1(DKK1)mRNA,proteinlevelsofDKK1andcysteinylaspartate-specificproteinase-3(caspase-3) were detected using MTT, flow cytometry, quantitative realtime PCR and western blot, respectively. Results Compared with control group, the expression of miR-335-5p mRNA and cell proliferation in HG group were significantly decreased(P<0. 05), while cell apoptosis and the protein levels of DKK1 and caspase-3 were increased significantly(P<0. 05), the expression of DKK1 mRNA did not change (P>0. 05). The miR-335-5p mRNA expression and cell proliferation in agomir-335-5p group were higher than those in HG group and agomir NC group(P<0. 05). However, Cell apoptosis and the protein levels of DKK1 and caspase-3 in agomir-335-5p group were lower than those in HG group(P<0. 05). Conclusion High glucose inhibits the proliferation and induce the apoptosis of MC3T3-E1 osteoblast through decreasing the expression of miR-335-5p and subsequently increasing the DKK1 expression.

Objective:To observe the clinical effect of arthrocentesis combined with liquid phase con-centrated growth factor(CGF)injection in the treatment of unilateral temporomandibular joint osteoarthri-tis(TMJOA),in order to provide a new treatment option for TMJOA patients.Methods:In this non-randomized controlled study,patients diagnosed with unilateral TMJOA who visited the center for tem-poromandibular joint disorder and orofacial pain of Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from June 2021 to January 2023 were selected as research objects.The patients were divided into experi-mental group and control group,which were selected by patients themselves.The experimental group re-ceived arthrocentesis combined with liquid phase CGF injection and the control group received arthrocen-tesis combined with HA injection.Both groups were treated 3 times,once every two weeks.The clinical effect was evaluated by the maximum mouth opening,pain value and the degree of mandibular function limitation 6 months after treatment.The change of condylar bone was evaluated by cone beam CT(CBCT)image fusion technology before and after treatment.Results:A total of 20 patients were included in the experimental group,including 3 males and 17 females,with an average age of(34.40± 8.41)years.A total of 15 patients were included in the control group,including 1 male and 14 females,with an average age of(32.20±12.00)years.There was no statistical difference in general information between the two groups(P＞0.05).There were no statistical differences in the mouth opening,pain value and the degree of jaw function limitation between the two groups before treatment(P＞0.05),and all of them improved 6 months after treatment compared with before treatment(P＜0.05).However,the mouth opening of experimental group was significantly higher than that of control group 6 months after treatment(P＜0.05),and the degree of jaw function limitation was significantly lower than that of con-trol group(P＜0.05).CBCT 2D images showed that the condylar bone of both groups was smoother after treatment than before treatment,and image fusion results showed that 10 patients(50.0％)in the experimental group and 5 patients(33.3％)in the control group had reparative remodeling area of con-dylar bone,and there was no statistical difference between them(P＞0.05).Except for one CGF pa-tient,the other patients in both groups had some absorption areas of condylar bone.Conclusion:The ar-throcentesis combined with liquid phase CGF injection can improve the clinical symptoms and signs of unilateral TMJOA patients in short term,and is better than HA in increasing mouth opening and impro-ving jaw function.CBCT fusion images of both patient groups show some cases of condylar bone repara-tive remodeling and its relevance to treatment plans still requires further study.
