Objective: To study the influence of different telomere oligonucleotide on rat's thoracic aortic smooth muscle (A7R5 ) cell apoptosis and to clarify weather silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1)/cancer suppressor gene (P53) signaling pathway involved in oligonucleotide induced cell apoptosis. Methods: 3 telomere repeat sequences of TE-12 (TTAGGG)2, TE-24 (TTAGGG)4 and TE-36 (TTAGGG)6 were respectively transfected into rat's A7R5 cells as TE-12 group, TE-24 group and TE-36 group; in addition, blank A7R5 cells were used as Control group. Transfection induced A7R5 cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry, mRNA and protein expressions of SIRT1 and P53 in A7R5 cells were examined by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis in different groups. Results: Successful ransfection rates were similar among 3 groups. Compared with Control group and TE-36, TE-24 groups, the highest apoptosis rate of A7R5 cells was found in TE-12 group and the lowest was found in TE-24 group which was still higher than that in Control group, allP<0.05. mRNA and protein expressions of SIRT1 was obviously higher in TE-12 group than the other 3 groups, allP<0.05; mRNA and protein expressions of P53 was obviously lower in TE-24 group than the other 3 groups, allP<0.05. Conclusion: Telomere oligonucleotide sequence may promote rat's A7R5 cell apoptosis; different sequence had various influence and the strongest effect was observed in TE-12 sequence. The above impact might be related to SIRT1/P53 signaling pathway.

Objective:To evaluate the quality and the effectiveness of therapeutic studies on chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis published in Chinese journals by means of evidence-based medicine. Methods:Relevant papers were searched in Chinese Biological Medical Disc (CBMDisc)database and China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI) database. Papers using randomized controlled trials (RCT) were identified and analyzed according to the international standards of evidence-based medicine. Results:There were totally 98 articles focusing on therapeutic studies of chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis and only 22 of them met RCT criteria. Study design, diagnostic standards, therapeutic effects and adverse effects decribed in those 22 papers were fully evaluated by means of evidence-based medicine. Conclusions:Research quality of the analyzed papers could not meet clinical needs and Meta analysis could not been done due to their low quantity and poor quality. However, as far as the published articles concerned, GM-CSF showed a good short-term treatment effect.

Objective To investigate the protective role of senegenin(SEN)in the mouse ischemia-reperfusion injury and its mechanism.Methods Mice were divided at random into control group(the ligature was placed but not ligated for 225 min),is-chemia-reperfusion model group(the anterior descending coronary artery remained ligated for 45 min and then reperfused for 180 min)and SEN treatment group(30 mg/kg SEN was used 10 min before reperfusion).The myocardial infarct size was meas-ured by using Evans blue-TTC staining.Fluorescence assay was employed to detect the activity of Caspase-1 2 and Caspase-3 to assess the myocardial apoptosis.Western blot was used to detect the expression of two endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) markers,GRP78 and CHOP,in infarcted myocardia.Results Compared with the control group,the myocardial infarct size was significantly increased,the activities of Caspase-12 and Caspase-3 were increased by 4.71 fold and 3.37 fold,respectively,and the expression levels of ERS markers GRP78 and CHOP were conspicuously elevated in the ischemia-reperfusion model group.Pretreatment with SEN(30 mg/kg)could significantly reduce the myocardial infarct size,the activities of Caspase-12 and Caspase-3 and the expression levels of GRP78 and CHOP when compared with those in the ischemia-reperfusion model group and there was significant difference between the two groups(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion SEN can protect against the myocardial ischemia-reperfusion inj ury by ameliorating ERS-mediated myocardial apoptosis in mice.

Dens in dente is a rare malformation of teeth.This article reports one case of type Ⅲ dens in dente of maxillary bilateral incisors with acute periapical lesion.The case was treated successfully by apexification with Vitapex paste.

Objective In order to explore the mechanisms of the anti-keratin monoclonal antibody 5G5(MAbSG5)in psoriasis treatment.Methods The different groups of mouse were fed with 5G5.The effect on regulating keratinocyte proliferation was observed.Results The experimental study revealed that MAb5G5 has the function of restraining the karyokinesis of vagina epithelium and accelerating the formation of stratum granulosum in rat squamous epidermis.Conclusion The mechanism of MAb5G5 in psoriagis treatment may be related to regulate keratinocyte proliferation.
