Objective To investigate the electromyographic changes in the anterior temporal and masseter muscles of patients with long-term unilateral mandibular first molar loss. Methods Eighteen patients with one-year or more than one-year loss of unilateral mandibular first molar were selected as experimental group,and eighteen volunteers from similar places,had similar dietary habits in the same age and gender with normal occlusion were recruited as control group. Surface electromyography was used for the evaluation of the electrical activities of bilateral anterior temporal and masseter muscles in mandibular postural position ( MPP ) , maximal clenching in intercuspal position ( ICP) and masticating situations. The data were analyzed using SPSS 17. 0 software package to compare the differ-ences among groups. Results The average electrical activities of anterior temporal and masseter muscles in MPP of experimental group were significantly higher than the contral group,and the missing side was higher than the non-missing side ( P <0. 05 ) . The average electrical activities of anterior temporal and masseter muscles in maximal clenching and masticating were significantly lower than the control group,especially in the masticating situation( P<0. 05 ) . The asymmetry index of anterior temporal muscles and masseter muscles in MPP and maximal clenching were significantly different(P<0. 05). Conclusion Long-term loss of unilateral mandibular first molar can affect the electrical activities of the anterior temporal muscles and masseter muscles in the experimental group,especially for the missing side and in the masticating situation. These results also suggest that it might be one of the potential factors on mastication system disorders.

Objective To establish an animal model of sacral nerve root avulsion in rats and e-valuate its efficiency. Methods A total of 20 adult SD rats (either sex) were chosen at random to es-tablish the sacral nerve root avulsion model by avulsing the fight L4-6 nerve roots out of intervertebral fo-ramina without laminectomy. The left side was set as control group. The models were evaluated in aspects of survival rate, Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) scores, somatosensory evoked potential (SEP), horse radish peroxidase (HRP) tracing, bilateral weight and cross section area (CSA) of muscle biceps femo-ris, fiber of triceps surae and anterior tibial muscle. Results Of all, 19 rats were survived but one died, with survival rate of 95.0%. The BBB score was (10.78+3.15) points in experimental group and 21 points in control group. The success rate of establishing animal model was 89.5% ,for there detected no SEP in bilateral cerebral cortex of the wounded extremity of 17 rats. HRP showed positive reaction in the spinal segment of L4-6 in two rats but negative in 17, with success rate of 89.5%. There was statistical difference in aspects of weight and muscle fiber CSA of double biceps femoris, triceps surae and anterior fibial muscle between experimental group and control group. Electron microscope found denervation chan-ges including muscle fiber atrophy, nucleus shifting to (center and muscle satellite cell. Conclusion A-vulsion of L4-6 sacral nerve root out of vertebral canal is a feasible and ideal method to establish the avui-sion model of sacral nerve root injury in rats.

Ubiquitination on target proteins is the signal of cellular protein degradation.Ubiquitin ligase E3 is one of the key enzymes in ubiquitination,it recognizes a specific substrate protein and recruits an ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2,mediating the ubquitin transfer from the E2 to the substrate protein.Ubiquitin ligase E3 can be divided into two subfamilies according to their different structure characters and function mechanisms,the HECT(homologous to E6AP C terminus) family and the RING-finger family.Members of the HECT E3 share the common HECT catalytic domain,which can bind to an E2 and load the ubiquitin on themselves before catalyzing the transfer of ubiquitin to the target proteins.While the RING-finger E3 all contain an similar E2 binding domain and a unique substrate binding part,mediating direct ubiquitin transfer from the E2 to the substrate.The most recent progresses in the stuctural and functional studies of these two E3 famlies were summarized.

Phage display technology has been developed as a powerful tool for selecting polypeptides or proteins with desired biological and physicochemical properties from huge random peptide libraries.Fragments of foreign peptides or proteins that are expressed as fused proteins displayed on the phage surface can keep their relatively independent spatial structure and biological activity,so that they can interact with their ligands to mimic selection of specific molecular epitopes,thus providing an efficient high-throughput screening system.Phage display has been used to allow rapid identification of peptide ligands for a variety of target molecules by an in vitro selection process called "panning".Phage display techniques can be widely exploited to construct tumor-associated antibody libraries,select polypeptides tumor-associated antigen,investigate antigen epitope and design vaccines and medicine,and are used especially as a tool for the diagnosis and treatment of tumor,gene therapy and tumor cell signal transduction research.Recent applications and advanced developments of phage display in cancer research are discussed in this article for the further reference to investigators.
