Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value of KaVo DIAGNOdent(DD)by comparing the diagnostic results of visual examination(VE)and stereomicroscope.Methods:The occlusal surface of 68 extracted teeth were examined by DD and VE,confirmed the examining points and marked,then cut these teeth along the markers.The results of stereomicroscope were classified into D0,D1,2,D3,4 according to the occlusal caries' depth,and recognized as gold standard.The difference of sensitivity,specificity between VE and DD,and their coherence were analyzed.Results:Sensitivity of DD,in D3,4 level of occlusal caries,was the highest.Compared to the results of stereomicroscope,the accuracy of DD and VE was the highest in D3,4 level.The coherence of DD and VE was low in all levels.Conclusion:The present cut-off point of DD affects the assessment of DD diagnostic result.Future study about key points of diagnosis of DD can widen its use in clinic.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between human herpesvirus-6(HHV-6) infection and pathogenesis of oral squamous cell carcinoma.Methods:Samples of saliva, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs),tumor tissue and tumor adjacent tissue were collected from 82 patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma, 25 patients with oral precancer lesion and 40 healthy young adults(controls). Nested PCR assay was used to examine HHV-6 infection.Results:1)In control, precancer lesion and carcinoma groups, HHV-6 positive rates(%) were 45.0,56.0, 72.0 in saliva, 22.5,48.0,57.3 in PBMCs, and general rates(%) were 47.5,56.0 and 80.5 respectively(control vs carcinoma,P0.05).Conclusions:Saliva gland is the position of HHV-6 latency/proliferation and saliva is the predominant route of HHV-6 transmission; HHV-6 infection correlates to the pathogenesis of oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of propofol on coronary circulation of acute myocardial ischemia-reperfusion inury. Metbod: 18 hybrid dogs (11-14kg) were divided randomly into three groups:NS group (normal saline, 2ml?kg~(-1)?h~(-1)), HP group (high-dose propofol, 11.2mg?kg~(-1)?h~(-1)), LP group (low-dose propofol, 5.6mg?kg~(-1) ?b~(-1)). These dogs were subjected to 90 min left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) occlusions followed by 200 min of reperfusions. Before administration, 60 min after administration, 60min, 120min, 180min following reperfusion,coronary circulation was assessed by measurement of coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) and blood flow of LAD. Result: The values of CPP in HP and LP groups 60 minafter administration were significantly lower than those in NS group before LAD occlusion (P

Objective The normothermic isolated contracting rat heart model was used to investigate the mechanism of protective effect of propofol on left ventricular function and myocardial metabolism against ischemia-reperfusion injury by determination of the catecholamme concentration in the coronary outflow. Methods forty healthy male SD rats weighing 310-450 g were randomly divided into 4 groups of each 10 animals: control group, propofol 10?mol/L (P10), 50?mol/L (P50) and 100?mol/L (P100). The animal were sacrificed by knock-out and the heart was immediately removed. The aorta was connected to a Larigendorff apparatus and retrogradely perfused with oxygenated (95% O, and 5% CO2) Krebs-Henseleit buffer (KHB) for 5 min. Then the left ventricle was perfused through a cannula inserted in pulmonary vein at a constant pressure of 12.5 cm H2O (preload). The pressure at aorta outflow was 90 cm H2O (afterload). Different concentrations of propofol in KHB were prepared. Global ischemia of the heart was induced by suspension of perfusion for 25 min followed by 30 min reperfusion. Coronary flow (CF), aortic flow (AF), cardiac output (CO = AF + CF), HR, left ventricular peak systolic pressure (LVPSP), left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP = LVPSP-LVEDP) and the product of LVDP and HR were measured and recorded 5 min and immediately before ischemia and 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 min following reperfusion. Coronary outflow was collected for determination of creatine kinase (CK) and catecholamine ( epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine) concentrations.Results Before ischemia CF was significantly higher and CO, HR, LVPSP and LVDP ? HR were significantly lower in the 3 propofol groups in comparison with the controls. During reperfusion CF, CO, HR, LVPSP and LVEDP recovered much better in the propofol groups than those in control group. In group P50 LVDP ? HR reached 88.7% of the pre-ischemic value while in control group only 56.3% . The CK and catecholamine concentrations were not significantly different among the 4 groups before ischemia. During reperfusion CK, epinephrine and noeepinepherine concentrations were significantly lower in propofol groups than in control group (P

Objective To investigate the effect of L-N6-(1-iminoethyl) Lysine(L-NIL) on ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) -induced lung injury in a rat model of lung transplantation. Methods Pathogen free male SD rats weighing 250-350g were used as donor and recipient rats in this study. The animals were randomly divided into 3groups (n = 6 each): sham operation group (group S); lung tratsplantation group (group L) and lung transplantation + L-NIL (selective iNOS inhibitor) group (group L-NIL). In group L and L-NIL orthotopic left lung allograft transplantation was performed. In group L-NIL 3 mg/kg was injected iv at the beginning of reperfusion. The donor lungs were removed from live donor rats and placed in Euro-collins solution at 4 ℃. The lung transplantation was performed under microscope and non-suture cuff technique was used. The implanted donor lungs were ventilated and reperfused. 0.5% Evans blue 0.2 ml was injected iv during reperfusion. The donor lungs were removed after being implanted, ventilated and reperfused for 2 h for microscopic examination and determination of iNOS, endothelial NOS (eNOS) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) and Evans blue content in the lung tissue and W/D lung weight ratio. Results Lung transplantation significantly inceased W/D ratio, iNOS and MPO activity, and Evans blue and MDA content in the lung tissue and decreased eNOS activity in group L as compared with group S. L-NIL iv significantly attenuated the increase in the variables mentioned above and ameliorated capillary congestion and inflammatory cell infiltration in the lung. Conclusion Intravenous L-NIL administered at the beginning of reperfusion can reduce I/R injury to the transplanted donor lungs.

Objective To investigate the anti-fibrotic effects of curcumin in trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid (TNBS) induced intestinal fibrosis in rats and its mechanism. Methods Forty SD rats were randomly divided into model group, treatment group, control group and normal group with 10each. Except the normal group, the other three groups were given 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 mg of TNBS enema on the 1st, 8 th, 15th, 22nd and 29th days,respectively. The rats in treatment group were intraperitonealy injected with 30 mg/kg of curcumin daily. Control group was injected with 0. 9%NaCl solution and normal group received an equal volume of 50% ethanol enema without any treatment. The damage and fibrosis of colon were detected with HE staining and Masson collagen staining, respectively. The contents of interleukin (IL) -2, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) -α, IL-4 and IL-17 in colon were measured by enzyme-link immunosorbent analysis (ELISA). The expressions of intestinal fibrosis related cytokines such as transforming growth factor (TGF) -β1, connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), Smad3, collagen Ⅰ and collagen Ⅲ mRNA were determined by FQ-PCR.Results The macroscopic and micrpscopic colonic damage scores and collagen area were significantly higher in model group (6.14 ± 1.07, 8. 42 ± 1.40 and 36. 59% ± 4.07%, respectively) and control group (6.17 ± 1.47, 8. 17 ±1.47 and 37.18 %±4.05 %, respectively) than those in normal group (2.13±0.64, 2.25±1.28 and 25.43%±5.39% ,respectively)(P＜0.05). Contents of IL2, TNF-α, IL-17, as well as expressions of intestinal fibrosis related cytokines including TGF-β1, CTGF,Smad3, collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ mRNA were also higher in model group [(378. 25±29. 90) ng/L,(87.11±23.85) ng/L, (47.80±5.62) ng/L, 4.71%±2.71%,10.33%±6.99%,9.35%±7.32%,1.52% ± 1.11% and 3.04% ±1.33%, respectively] and control group [(410. 06 ± 64.74) ng/L,(100.41±12.59) ng/L, (41.45±2. 12) ng/L, 4. 12%±3.01%,11.46%±4.72%,10. 11%±3.80%,1. 57% ± 1. 35% and 3. 03% ± 3. 53%, respectively] in comparision with normal group [(179.74±20. 73) ng/L, (35. 47±7. 13) ng/L, (14. 48±7. 52) ng/L and 0. 90%± 1. 13%,0.53%±0.47%, 0. 62%±0. 44%, 0. 16%±0. 09% and 0. 18%±0. 10%, respectively] (P＜0.05). While in treatment group, the macroscopic (4.00 ± 1.07 ) and micrpscopic (5. 13 ± 1.46)colonic damage scores, collagen area (30.01%±7.56%), contents of IL-2 [(223.91±28.04) ng/L],TNF-α [(44.19±4. 77) ng/L] and IL-17 [(14.89±4. 31) ng/L], expressions of TGF-β1 (0.85%±0.76%), CTGF (1.56%±1.13%), Smad3 (3.62%±3.03%), collagen Ⅰ (0.40%±0.31%) and Ⅲ (0.60 % ± 1.02 % ) mRNA were much lower than those in model group and control group (P＜0.05 ), but similar to those in normal group (P＞ 0.05 ). Conclusions Curcumin can inhibit intestinal fibrosis caused by excessive "wound-healing" reaction via reducing the overexpression of cytokines in colonic mucosa and attenuating the inflammation of colon.
