To study the invasiveness of endometrial cells of endometriosis. 49 specimens of either normal endometrials or that from endometriosis were cultured, and the invasiveness of them different cells was studied by Transwell Col Insert cell culture plate. The results showed that the invasiveness of stromal cells was stronger than that of epithelial cells; the invasiveness of cells from patients with endometriosis was stronger than that of the controls. The results suggested that stromal and epithelial cell of the endometrium may play different roles in the pathogenesis of endometriosis; the character of the endometrium from patients with endometriosis was different from that of women without endometriosis.

AIM: To investigate the influence of predator stress on hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and IL-1?, IL-6 in mice with brain asymmetry. METHODS: By using paw preference test, right-pawed, left-pawed, and ambidextrous-pawed mice model were established. Mice with brain lateralization were exposed to their predator (cat). After acute and chronic predator stress by cats, EIA and ELISA were applied to detect plasma levels of corticosterone (CS), IL-1? and IL-6. RESULTS: (1) The level of plasma CS: in both acute and chronic predator stress group, right-pawed and ambidextrous mice had a higher level than that in their corresponding normal group (P

Objective To explore the effect of preservation of inclined fractured permanent molars by transverse fixation with screw post,and provide a practical method for reserving the inclined fractured permanent molars.Methods Clinical data of 50 patients with inclined fractured permanent molars by transverse fixation with screw post in the Department of Stomatology of Tianjin First Central Hospital between January 2010 to December 2011 were reviewed retrospectively.After fixing the crown with steel-wire binding and root canal treatment,the molars were drilled a hole buccolingually and placed screw post.The flowable light-curing composite resin was used to seal the crack and bond screw post to prevent the relative movement.All treated molars were restored with full crown.All patients were followed up for 10-60 months.The therapeutic effects were observed.Results After 5 year-follow-up,41 cases were cured completely,6 cases were cured clinically,and 3 cases failed treatment.Conclusion The transverse fixation with screw post and bonding technique can preserve the inclined fractured molars to gain chewing function and avoid or reduce the extraction of affected teeth,which provides a better restoration effect.

In this study, we investigated the expression of CXCL12 (SDF-1)/CXCR4 in trophoblasts and the role they play in the gestation. Immunochemistry was used to detect the expression of CXCR4 and CXCL12 in human villi and placenta. Highly purified extra-villous trophoblasts (EVTs) ere detected for CXCR4 and CXCL12 in vitro by immunocytochemistry. The chemotaxis of CXCL12 was tested in transwell and the chemotactic activity was quantitatively examined. It was suggested that both CXCR4 and CXCL12 were expressed in trophoblasts and were decreased with the gestation time P < 0.05). In a certain coverage, CXCL12 exhibited chemotactic activity which was positively correlated with its concentration [(r) = 0.68, P < 0.01], the maximum chemotactic index (CI) was 1.62 +/- 0.12. Our results suggest that interaction between CXCR4 and CXCL12 is involved in materno-fetal immunological tolerance in all three trimesters of gestation and contributes to the invasion of EVTs during pregnancy.
