Objective To investigate the in vitro inhibitory effect of LIGHT on human esophageal carcinoma cells. Methods LIGHT Fc expression vector was transfected into human esophageal squamous carcinoma cell line, Eca109. The inhibitory effect of LIGHT gene on cell growth was detected by MTT and cell growth curve. The expressions of LT?R and HVEM were detected by RT PCR. Results Expression of LIGHT Fc gene could inhibit Eca109 cell proliferation. The growth curve of Eca109/LIGHT was significantly lower than that of the control group in the culture medium containing 1% FCS. MTT test showed that there was significant difference in cell viability between Eca109/LIGHT and the control group ( P

BACKGROUND:The strength of al-ceramic crowns is affected by many factors. At present there are many studies concerning the neck edge shape, cutting thickness, binder and convergence angle, but little has been reported on the effects of different occlusions on al-ceramic crowns. OBJECTIVE:To explore the maxilary central incisor al-ceramic crowns in different occlusal states by finite element analysis. METHODS: Three-dimensional finite element models of the maxilary central incisor al-ceramic crowns were established. Empress II and In-Ceram Zirconia were selected. The normal overbite position and deep overbite position were applied to force a load of 230 N, with the long axis of the tooth at a 45° angle. Distribution of inner stress and edge stress was analyzed at different occlusal states. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The stress distribution of al-ceramic crowns under different occlusion relationship was different. The stress peaks of cementum, alveolar bone and periodontium in the deep overbite were lower than those in the normal overbite. The stress peaks of al-ceramic crowns and binder were higher than in the deep overbite than the normal overbite. The stress peak of the dentin in the Empress II group was higher in the deep overbite than in the normal overbite. The stress peak of the dentin in the In-Ceram Zirconia group was lower in the deep overbite than in the normal overbite. Different al-ceramic crowns had no influence on the stress distribution, but in the deep overbite, the stress was mainly concentrated in the occlusal contact area, and in the normal overbite, the stress was mainly concentrated in the occlusal contact area and at the labial cervical margin. (2) The stress distribution of different al-ceramic crowns under the same occlusal state was different. In the normal overbite, different al-ceramic crowns had no evident influence on the stress peak, and in the deep overbite, there was a certain effect of different al-ceramic crowns on the stress peak, but there was no significant difference. The stress peaks of blinder and dentin were obviously affected by al-ceramic crowns. The stress peaks of blinder and dentin in Empress II group were higher than those in the In-Ceram Zirconia group.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of recombinant LIGHT-Fe gene on the proliferation of human esophageal carcinoma cell line Eea109. Methods LIGHT-Fc expression vector was transfected into human esophageal squamous carcinoma cell line Eca109 by using DOTAP liposomal transfection reagents. The effects of LIGHT-Fc gene on the proliferation of esophageal carcinoma cell line Eca109 in vitro were detected by cell growth curve and MTr assay. Forty-five nude mice were equally divided into Eea109/Wt group, Eca109/neo group and Eca109/LIGHT group. Carcinogenesis and pathological expression of the esophageal carcinoma tissues were observed. Results The expressions of LIGHT receptors were detected in Eca109 cells. The proliferation of Eca109 cells was inhibited after trasfecting LIGHT-Fc gene into Eca109 cells. The numbers of tumors generated in Eea109/Wt group, Eca109/neo group and Eca109/LIGHT group were 12, 11 and 5, with statistical significance between Eca109/LIGHT group and the other two groups (X2 =6.652, 4.821, P <0.05). The result of histopatholagical examination indicated that the tissue necrosis appeared significantly in tumors derived from Eea109/LIGHT cells. Conclusions The growth of esophageal squamous carcinoma cell line Eca109 can be suppressed by LIGHT-Fc gene whether in vitro or in vivo.

Objective To evaluate the effects of ethyl gallate (EG ) on sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in rats .Methods Forty-eight healthy male Wistar rats ,aged 10-12 weeks ,weighing 150-250 g ,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=16 each) using a random number table :control group (group C) ,group ALI , and group EG .The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital sodium 50 mg/kg .Sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) .EG 1 ml/h (50 mg·kg-1 ·h-1 ) was infused intravenously via the femoral vein for 4 h starting from 6 h after CLP in group EG .The equal volume of normal saline was given instead in group ALI . The rats were sacrificed at 10 and 24 h after CLP (T1 ,2 ) , and the lungs were removed for determination of wet/dry lung weight ratio (W/D ratio ) , superoxide dismutase (SOD ) activity , contents of malondialdehyde (MDA ) and glutathione (GSH ) , and 3-NT expression (by immuno-histochemistry ) in lung tissues .The pathological changes of the lung were examined with light microscope .Results Compared with group C ,the W/D ratio ,MDA content and 3-NT expression were significantly increased and GSH content was decreased at T1 ,2 ,the SOD activity was significantly decreased at T2 in group ALI ,and the MDA content and 3-NT expression were increased at T1 ,and the W/D ratio ,MDA content and 3-NT expression were increased and GSH content was decreased at T2 in group EG ( P<0.05) .Compared with group ALI ,the MDA content was significantly decreased at T1 ,and the W/D ratio ,MDA content and 3-NT expression were decreased ,and GSH content and SOD activity were increased at T2 in group EG ( P<0.05) .The pathological changes of the lung were obvious in group ALI , and significantly attenuated in group EG .Conclusion EG can attenuate sepsis-induced ALI by antioxidative effects in rats .
