2.Spinal cord injury and MicroRNA:in vitro prefabrication of tissue-engineered spinal cord and repair of spinal cord injury
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(2):267-271
BACKGROUND:In the whole world, spinal cord injuries caused by trauma lead to more than 180 000 people presenting with permanent impairment annualy. A large number of experiments have confirmed in recent years, under physiological conditions, microRNA has specific expression and plays an important role in the nervous system. OBJECTIVE: To discuss the changes in microRNA expression induced by injuries as wel as the pathophysiological significance in spinal cord injury, and to explore the development potential of microRNA in tissue-engineered and clinical repair of spinal cord injury. METHODS:A computer-based search of PubMed and Chinese Journal Database was performed for related articles published from January 2000 to December 2014 using the keywords of “SCI, microRNA, transcriptional control, clinical research progress” in English and Chinese. Finaly, 38 articles were included for result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Mechanical injury initialy triggers a series of complex secondary damages, including nervous, vascular and immune systems, which can influence the severity of spinal cord injury to a great extent. Secondary damage to the spinal cord is mainly attributed to the activation and deactivation of some specific genes associated with celular and biochemical mechanisms, such as cysteine aspartate specific protease (caspase) gene family, apoptosis related protein Fas and its ligand Fasl system, P53 gene, apoptosis related gene Bcl-2 family. Recent studies have proved that the functional activation of microRNA expression is the key to spinal cord injury. With the development of biological information engineering, studies and controling technologies associated with microRNA expression have been gradualy dominated, some clinical application based on microRNA technology has entered the clinical trial stage. It is believed that with the continuous development of technology and decrease of cost, permanent dysfunction due to spinal cord injury can be regulated and repaired through the microRNA technology at gene level in the future.

Objective To explore the prognosis value of serum hydrogen sulfide (H2S) concentration and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation HI (APACHE Ⅲ) scores in critically ill patients. Methods The serum H2S levels were measured in 72 cases and 12 controls by spectrophotometry. The APACHE Ⅲ scores of the patients were assessed. The relationship between serum H2S concentration and APACHE H scores and prognosis were analyzed. Results The average serum H2S concentration of the 72 cases was (45. 6 ±17.2) μmol/L The concentration in the survival group was(41. 1 ± 14. 7) μmol/L,and which was significantly lower than in the dead group(62. 8 ±15. 5)μmol/L,(P<0. 01). The average APACHE I score was(43. 6 ±26. 0)of the 72 cases. The APACHE Ⅲ score was(37. 7 ±22. 2) in the survival group,and which was significantly lower than in the dead group (65. 0 ±29. 6) (P <0. 01). The higher of the serum H2S concentration or APACHE Ⅲ scores,the higher mortality of the patients(P <0. 01). Conclusions Serum H2S levels and APACHE Ⅲ scores of critically ill patients have a role in judging the condition and prognosis of the patients.

West China Journal of Stomatology 2015;33(2):130-134
OBJECTIVETo investigate the functions of human periodontal myofibroblast (MFB) in vitro.
METHODSHuman periodontal fibroblast (hPDLFs) was cultured and induced to MFB by transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1). MFB was denoted as the experimental group, whereas the hPDLFs was the control group. The groups were continuously cultured and harvested at 0, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h. The MFB marker α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) was examined by immunocytochemistry. The expression of fibronectin (FN) between MFB was examined by immunocytochemistry to detect the MFB contact relationship. The mRNA expression levels of α-SMA, collagen (Col) I, and Col III were measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCT) to analyze extracellular matrix secretion. The protein expression levels of α-SMA and Col I were also assessed by Western blot.
RESULTSThe experimental group had significantly higher α-SMA expression than the control group at 0 h (P < 0.001). A positive expression of FN was found between MFB. The experimental group had significantly higher expression levels of Col I and Col III than the control group at 24 h (P < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONHuman periodontal MFB presents a continuous, high expression of α-SMA. MFB could interact through FN. MFB is significantly capable of extracellular matrix secretion.

OBJECTIVEThe purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of cryogenic treatment and age-hardening heat treatment on the corrosion behavior of a dental casting Ag-Pd alloy.
METHODSA low gold content dental casting alloy composed of Ag-Pd-Cu-Au was prepared for this study. Corrosion test was performed according to ISO 10271:2001 dental metallie-corrosion test methods. Experimental specimens were casted according to a standard dental lost-wax casting procedure, treated with solution by heating the specimens to 900 degrees C, and immediately quenched in ice water. The specimens were then divided into four groups and subjected to heat treatment, cryogenic treatment, and heat treatment combined with cryogenic treatment. The specimens after the solution treatment were taken as control. The metallographic structures of the specimens were observed. The electrochemical parameters and the quantity of non-precious metallic ions released were evaluated via electrochemical and static immersion tests.
RESULTSMetallographic observation revealed that all the treatments resulted in a change in the microstructure of the alloy. The treatments were effective in improving the electrochemical parameters, such as an increase in Eocp and Ecorr and a decrease in Icorr (P < 0.05). The amount of non-noble metal ions released showed no difference compared with the control group (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONAfter different treatments, the antierosion properties of the alloy satisfied the ISO requirements. Age-hardening heat treatment and cryogenic treatment improved the corrosion resistance of the alloy.

Objective To observe the effect of single and low dose propofol administered near the end of surgery on the cardiovascular and adverse response during extnhation in patients undergoing ovarian cancer operation. Methods Fifty ASA Ⅰ - Ⅱ patients undergoing selective ovarian cancer operation were randomly allocated into group S and group P,with 25 patients in each group. In group S, inhalation of sevoflurane was discontinued at about 2 minutes before the end of operation. In group P, inhalation of sevoflurane was discontinued at about 5 minutes before the end of operation,and at the same time,0.5 mg/kg of propofol was administered intravenously. The systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure (DBP),heart rate (HR) and recovery time of consciousness were recorded at 5 min before extubation (t_1),during extubation (t_2), 1 min after extubation (t_3), and 5 rain after extubation (t_4). The incidence of agitatian,bucking,nausea and vomiting were recorded by an observer who was blind to this study. Results There were statistical differences in HR,SBP,DBP at t_2-t_4 between two groups. The recovery time was (10.39 ± 1.26) min in group P,and(9.57 ± 1.25) min in group S,there was significant difference between group P (2 cases) and group S (9 cases)(P< 0.05). There was significant difference in the incidence of agitation between two groups (P< 0.05). Conclusion Low dose propofol before extubation can inhibit stress and cardiovascular response and decrease the incidence of agitation, bucking, nausea and vomiting.
