Objective To investigate sequential expression of bone sialoprotein(BSP), alkaline phosphatase(ALP) and cementum attachment protein(CAP) in cementoblast(CB) during mineralized culture in vitro, and study the morphological and biologic characters of the CB in this process. Methods CB was seeded on the glass coverslips, and cultured for 6h, 12h, 1d, 2d, 3d, 4d, 5d, 6d, 8d, 10d, 12d and 16d, respectively. The expression of BSP, ALP and CAP proteins was detected using immunocytochemical method. Results 6 hours after plated, cementoblast expressed all of the three proteins. In the second and third days after plated, the cells became confluent and formed multiple layers, BSP and ALP expression decreased, and CAP did not be expressed at all. From the forth day, the cells formed cell nodules with mineralizing function. The cells in the nodules strongly expressed BSP,ALP and CAP, the cells around the nodule weakly expressed BSP and ALP, and did not express ALP. During the following 10 to 16 days, the cell nodules became mineralized nodules. Conclusion These results elucidated the changes of ALP, BSP and CAP expression as well as cell morphology during the CB proliferation, differentiation and mineralization in vitro, and provided some valuable information for studying the formation of cementum and CB proliferation, differentiation and mineralization in vivo.

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments in social skills, language, and behavior. It is now clear that autism is not a disease, but a syndrome characterized by phenotypic and genetic complexity. The etiology of autism is still poorly understood. Available evidence from a variety of sources strongly suggests that many genetic disorders are frequently associated with autism for their similar phenotypes. Based on this fact, this review begins by highlighting several principal genetic syndromes consistently associated with autism (fragile X, tuberous sclerosis, Angelman syndrome, Pader-Willi syndrome, Rett syndrome, Down syndrome and Turner syndrome). These genetic disorders include both chromosome disorders and single gene disorders. By comparing the similar phenotype, protein marker and candidate genes, we might make some breakthrough in the mechanism of autism and other genetic disorders.

Objective To evaluate the outcome of valvular surgery in the elderly. Methods Between 1993 and 2004, 4546 patients underwent cardiac valve operation at our hospital. 252 patients (5.5%)(147 males, 105 females) were 65 or older [mean age (67.9?2.9) years]. Rheumatic valvular disease presented in 201(79.8%) patients and non-rheumatic valvular disease in 51 (20.2%). 56.0% of patients were in New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class Ⅲ-Ⅳ.63 (25%) patients had aortic valve replacement (AYR), 93 (36.9%) had mitral valve replacement (MVR), 42 (16.7%) had mitral valve repair (MVP), 47 (18.7%) had AVR + MVR/MVP, and 7 (2.8%) had isolated tricuspid repair or replacement.34 (13.5 % ) had concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) . Results Results The operative mortality was 9.1%, and the tendency of decline was observed in recent 3 years. As compared with the patients aged 16 to 64 years, the duration of mechanical ventilation, stay in ICU and in hospital postoperatively was longer [(30.6?42.8)h vs. (24.1?45.0) h,P = 0.02, (60.1?101.2) h vs. (43.0?70.6) h, P = 0.00, (25.7?41.3) days vs. (19.6?14.4) days,P=0.00]. In this group, the morbidity of postoperative complications was significant higher than that of the patients aged 16 to 64 years (10.6% vs.6.4% , P = 0.01). Preoperative NYHA function class was an important factor for postoperative mortality. Multivariate logistic regression showed that concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) , AVR+ MVR/MVP, and prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time, prolonged aortic cross-clamping time, postoperative acute renal failure demanding dialysis were significant independent predictors of operative mortality. Conclusion The mortality of cardiac valvular surgery in the elderly is acceptable. It is characterized by higher morbidity of postoperative complications and prolonged duration of stay in hospital. Concomitant CABG, AVR + MVR/MVP, prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time, prolonged aortic crossclamping time and postoperative acute renal failure were significant independent predictors of operative mortality.

Currently, about 300 million people worldwide are affected by asthma. Most of these sufferers inhale immunosuppressants (ie corticosteroids) and beta-adrenergic receptor agonists for their asthma treatment. However, about 5%-10% of patients of asthma have poor response to such treatment. Investigation of kinase signaling pathway and nuclear transcription factor as a target molecule in the treatment of allergic asthma has been the concern of scholars home and abroad. This paper reviewed inhibitors of kinase signaling pathway and nuclear transcription factors for the treatment of asthma.
