The acetylation status of histones and non-histone proteins regulate chromatin remodeling and gene transcription. Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi), a promising therapeutic approach to cancer, are characteristic of causing accumulation of acetylated histones and other transcriptional regulators. Recent studies demonstrate that HDACi is able to arrest the cell cycle in G1 and/or G2 phase, and to induce apoptosis in a variety form of transformed cells with little toxicity to normal cells. However, the exact antitumor mechanisms of HDACi are still unclear. This review provides an update on the current knowledge of HDACi with a focus on HDACi-regulated cell growth arrest and apoptosis.

BACKGROUND:Osseous deformity is one of the most common Jaw deformities in clinic, which give patients serious impact on functionality and aesthetics, so patients want to cure it strongly. Recently, Functional Magnetic System has played an increasingly important role in correcting osseous deformity because of its advantages, so it is gradual y known by people.
OBJECTIVE:This article wil give a summary of Functional Magnetic System in the progress and deficiencies, in order to have a greater development in the field of correct osseous deformity.
METHODS:We searched the PubMed database, from January 1990 to June 2013 with the key words of“magnetic, orthodontics”in English. An online search of CNKI database, Wanfang database, Chongqing VIP database from January 1990 to June 2013 was also conducted with the key words of“magnetic, orthodontics”in Chinese.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Functional Magnetic System is the combination of magnetic force and the traditional function correcting device, with the aid of attraction and repulsion, we could make up for the inadequacy in the treatment of Jaw osseous deformity, including the problems of length, width and height. With the development of magnetic materials and the research of magnetic materials, Functional Magnetic System wil have a bigger development.

Aim To examine the in vivo effect of the antisense or/and decoy oligonucleotide of NF-?B on vessel proliferation and balloon-injured monocytes chemotactic protein-1(MCP-1) and extracellular signal regulated kinase in the carotid artery of rats.Methods Sprague-Dawley rats underwent balloon-dilation injury of the left carotid artery.The rats were divided into 7 groups(n=18) and each group were further divided into 6 sub-groups for study at 6 time points(1,3,5,7,14 days,n=3).Uninjured artery of the same rat was used as the control.Results In model group,sense group and scramble group,intima/media ratio increased after 5 days and reached the maximum after 14 days;intima/media ratio in antisense group,decoy group,antisense plus decoy group decreased significantly(P

Objective To test the validity of the Stroke Impairment Assessment Set (SIAS) among the subjects with acute stroke. Methods Forty two patients with acute stroke were assessed by use of SIAS, Brunnstrom movement assessment, Fugl Meyer movement assessment and Functional Independence Measure (FIM). The correlations among SIAS motor function item scores, Brunnstrom grades and Fugl Meyer scores and the correlation between SIAS total scores and FIM scores were studied. Results There were significantly positive correlations among SIAS motor function item scores, Brunnstrom grades and Fugl Meyer scores ( r =0.7440-0.9426). A significantly positive correlation also existed between the SIAS total score and FIM score( r =0.9231). The intra class correlation within SIAS was significant( r =0.8892-0.9787). The regression equations could be made between SIAS motor function scores and Fugl Meyer scores, SIAS total scores and FIM scores. Conclusion SIAS is a valid instrument when it is used to assess the subjects with acute stroke.

Objective:To study the effect of endogenous IL-1? on the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and COX2 in dental pulp cells. Methods:Human dental pulp cells were treated with human recombinant IL-1? at 1 nmol/L in serum-free medium for 18 h. Then the cells were collected and total RNA was isolated, MMPs and COX2 mRNA expression was assessed by semiquantitative RT-PCR. Results:IL-1? at 1 nmol/L induced the expression of COX2 and MMP-1 mRNA in human dental pulp cells. Conclusion:IL-1? may contribute to stimulating expression of MMPs and COX2 in the dental pulp during pulpitis.

OBJECTIVEThis work lays the foundation for establishing a digital model database with normal occlusion. A digital dental cast is acquired through grating projection, and model features are measured through reverse engineering.

METHODSThe grating projection system controlled by a computer was projected onto the surface of a normal dental model. Three-dimensional contour data were obtained through multi-angle shooting. A three-dimensional model was constructed, and the model features were analyzed by using reverse engineering. The digital model was compared with the plaster model to determine the accuracy of the measurement system.

RESULTSThe structure of three-dimensional reconstruction model was clear. The digital models of two measurements exhibited no significant difference (P > 0.05). When digital and plaster models were measured, we found that the crown length and arch width were not statistically different (P > 0.05), whereas the difference between the crown width and arch length was statistically significant (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe reconstruction of a digital model by using the grating projection technique and reverse engineering can be used for dental model measurement in clinic al and scientific research and can provide a scientific method for establishing a digital model database with normal occlusion.

Objective To assess the efficacy and clinical resuhs of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in Stanford type B aortic dissection,and to explore the therapentic strategy and prevention of complication.Methods Fifty-eight patients with Stanford type B aortic dissection underwent TEVAR were enrolled,and were followed up regularly.Results The technical feasibility and success with deployment proximal to the entry tear was 100.0％(58/58),requiring partial coverage of the left subclavian artery in 20 patients and total coverage in 4 patients,and 2 patients used chimney stents.Hospital mortality was 5.2％ (3/58).Type Ⅰ endoleak was found in 11 patients (19.0％,11/58).In 55 survival patients,48 patients occurred thrombosis in pseudocoele and 2 patients' endoleak disappeared.Seven patients' endoleak appeared blood flow.Forty-eight patients(87.3 ％,48/55) were followed up for 3-68 months.Two patients died,and 2 patients' endoleak disappeared,with total suberization in pseudocoele.Other 5 patients' endoleak relieved,with partial suberization in pseudocoele.One patient had new intimal tear at the distal end of the stent-graft and required a second stent implantation.Conclusion TEVAR is safe and effective for the treatment of Stanford type B aortic dissection.

Objective To analyze the effect of EVAR in the treatment of octogenarian patients with abdomi-nal aortic aneurysm.Methods 16 octogenarian patients aged over 80 years who treated with EVAR were collected. Mean age was (87.0 ±6.2)years and included 11 cases in male,2 cases in emergency.All the cases were infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm and 11 cases (69%)were the complex aortic anatomy.According to ASA classification, 11 cases (69%)were class Ⅲ and 5 cases (31%)were class Ⅳ.All patients were followed up with CT for 1 month to 3 years.We evaluated technical success rate,perioperative complications and the application characteristics of EVAR in the treatment of octogenarian patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm were analyzed.Results All the patients were operated with EVAR,the success rate was 100%,12 Endurant endografts and 4 Talent endografts were used.Mean operation time was (92 ±25)min and mean hospital stay length was (17 ±9.5)days.1 patient died with heart failure in 3 days after operation.1 patient died due to the Ⅰ endoleak and 4 patients died due to other fators. Conclusion For the octogenarian abdominal aortic aneurysm patients,EVAR is the preferred treatment with accepta-ble procedural success and perioperative morbidity.Those patients have characteristics in the physiological function and anatomy,so we should take measures to prevent the complications.The medium and long -term results suggest that EVAR may be of limited in some patients who are aged over 80 years.
