This article presented a series of cases using vascularized interpositional periosteal-connective tissue ( VIP-CT) flap with guide bone regeneration ( GBR) in peri-implant soft and hard tissue reconstuction at the esthet-ic zone of maxillary. Fifteen cases with bone and soft tissue defects underwent VIP-CT flap with GBR in the implant treatment. And the attached gingiva width was evaluated before treatment and six months and eighteen months after the operation. The width of attached gingival of six months and eighteen months after surgery was significantly dif-ferent from the preoperative value (P<0. 05). However, no statistically significant difference could be found at six months and eighteen months postoperative. The application of VIP-CT flap could increase the width of attached gin-giva around implants and the short-term effects were stable and favorable.

Objective:To study the curative efficacy of wenxin granule combined with propafenone in the treatment of arrhythmia and its effects on the serum levels ofhs-CRP,TNF-α,IL-6 and heart function.Methods:96 patients of arrhythmia who were treated from July 2014 to October 2016 in our hospital were selected and randomly divided into the observation group (n=48) and the control group (n=48).The control group was treated with propafenone,while the observation group was treated with wenxin granuleon.Then the serum levels of hs-CRP,TNF-α and IL-6,heart function,clinical efficacy and incidence of adverse reactions were observed and compared between the two groups before and after the treatment.Results:After treatment,the total effective rate of observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P＜0.05).The serum levels of hs-CRP,TNF-α and IL-6 of observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P＜0.05);the left ventricular end diastolic dimension (LVEDD) and left ventricular end systolic diameter (LVESD) of observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group,and the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was significantly higher than that of control group(P＜0.05);the incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Wenxin granule combined with propafenone was effective for arrhythmia,it could effectively improve the heart function and high safety,which might be related to the decrease of serum hs-CRP,TNF-and IL-6 levels.

Objective To investigate the effects of cell hypoxia on radio-inducible activity of early growth response gene-1 (Egr-1) promoter and its mechanisms. Methods The reporter vector of Egr-1 promoter was constructed by inserting the promoter sequence upstream the lucifearase gene in pGL3, which was then transfected into the lung adenocarcinoma A549 cell by liposome. The luciferase activity and H 2O 2 production were detected in the transfected cells exposed to doses of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 Gy radiation combined with the oxygen concentrations of 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 2.5%, and 5 %. The changes of luciferase activity in the transfected cells exposed to various concentrations of H 2O 2 were observed. Results The reporter vector of Egr-1 promoter was constructed successfully. The radio-inducible activity of Egr-1 promoter decreased significantly in the transfected cells exposed to oxygen concentration below 2.5% in a concentration-dependent manner, as compared with that in the normal control (P

This study is to analyze and identify the water soluble components of water buffalo horn (Bubali Cornu, WBH), and also establish a method for investigating these components. Shotgun proteomic analysis identified proteins in WBH aqueous extraction: keratin, collagen, desmoglein, etc. Ultrafiltration and LC-MS/MS were used to separate and identify the peptides in WBH aqueous extract, as a result, identified peptides were mainly derived from nonspecific degradation products of keratin and collagen, which including C-terminal peptides and non C-terminal peptides. Hypoxanthine, uridine, guanosine, and adenosine were identified by comparing with the standards. The strategy in present study could be used in analyzing water soluble components of animal horn derived TCM. It provides a reference for investigation of the material basis of animal horn derived TCM.
