Journal of Modern Laboratory Medicine 2015;(1):94-97
Objective To observe and analyze the changes of prostaglandin E2 (PGE-2)and elastase (EA)levels in the pulp blood of the patients with carious tooth complicated with exposed pulp and its influence on the curative effects of direct pulp capping treatment.Methods 80 cases of the patients with carious tooth complicated with exposed pulp treated with direct pulp capping treatment were selected as the observation group and 40 cases of the patients treated with normal removal of impacted third molar were selected as the control group.The levels of PGE-2 and EA in the pulp blood of the patients in the two groups before the treatments were detected and compared.A one-year follow-up was employed for the patients in the observation group and the curative effects were evaluated and compared.Results The levels of PGE-2 and EA in the pulp blood of the patients in the observation group were 132.28±63.55 ng/ml and 114.36±19.57μg/ml respectively,and the levels of PGE-2 and EA in the pulp blood of the patients in the control group were 0.61±1.26 ng/ml and 19.38±6.34μg/ml respectively.There were statistically significant differences between the two groups (t=43.129,29.675,P<0.05). There was a positive relationship between the PGE-2 level and EA level in the pulp blood of the patients in the observation group (r=0.782,P<0.05).The levels of PGE-2 and EA in the pulp blood before the treatment of the patients with suc-cessful effects were 84.63±13.17 ng/ml and 68.25±8.16μg/ml,and the levels of PGE-2 and EA in the pulp blood before the treatment of the patients with failed effects were 177.35±41.42 ng/ml and 152.36±16.28μg/ml.There were statisti-cally significant differences between the two types of patients (t=31.578,21.556,P<0.05).Conclusion The patients with carious tooth complicated with exposed pulp show the significantly increased expression levels of PGE-2 and EA in pulp blood.The higher expression levels of PGE-2 and EA before the treatment could put adverse influence on the curative effects of direct pulp capping treatment.The clinicians should give the comprehensive consideration to the specific condition of pa-tients to choose the proper treatment methods.

BACKGROUND:It has been confirmed that carboxymethylated chitosan has an promoting effect on Schwann cel proliferation and secretion, but its impact on the cyclic adenosine monophosphate-mediated protein kinase A signaling pathway in schwann cel stil needs further study. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of carboxymethylated chitosan on cyclic adenosine monophosphate/ protein kinase A signaling pathway in rat schwann cels. METHODS:The Schwann cels of the second generation neonatal rats were obtained and seeded in 6-wel plate at a concentration of 1×109/L. These Schwann cels were cultured and divided into four groups. The Schwann cels in the control group were cultured by adding PBS. The Schwann cels in the experimental groups were cultured by adding 50, 100 and 200 mg/L of carboxymethyl chitosan solution, respectively. After 24 hours, the concentration of cyclic adenosine monophosphate, protein kinase A activity and cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element binding protein mRNA expression were detected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, carboxymethyl chitosan increased cyclic adenosine monophosphate concentrations, the activity of protein kinase A and cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element binding protein mRNA expression within the Schwann cels in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05). These results demonstrate that carboxymethyl chitosan can increase the concentration of cyclic adenosine monophosphate within the Schwann cels and promote protein kinase A activity, thereby activating cyclic adenosine monophosphate/protein kinase A signaling pathway.
