Aim To study the effect of Taurochenodeoxycholic Acid (TCDCA) on immunologic cell in vitro and in vivo in mice. Methods Five doses were used , including 0.043, 0.065, 0.1, 0.153, 0.189 g?kg-1 in vivo and 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 1, 10 mg?L-1 in vitro. Effects of TCDCA on peritoneal macrophage in mouse in vitro,splenic lymphocyte, normal organism, immunologic functional inhibiting model and nerve-endocrine-immunoregulation system were investigated. Results TCDCA had the obvious immunoregulation effect on normal organisms in mouse. 0.1 g?kg-1 TCDCA had the obvious anastated effects on the immunological inhibiting model made up by the cyclosporine A and cyclophosphamide. TCDCA may affect the peritoneal macrophage and splenic lymphocyte in vitro directly, meanwhile two kinds of immunological cells showed the obvious immunoregulation effects on the whole. 0.1 g?kg-1 TCDCA can increase the hydrocortisone contents of the nerve-endocrine-immunoregulation system in mouse most remarkably. Conclusion TCDCA had the adjustment effect on the immunoregulation function in mouse.

Objective:To statistically analyze SCI paper output and research hotspots of Chinese stomatology research institutes from 2011 to 2020.Methods:The papers of Chinese stomatology research institutions in the Web of Science database were searched and analyzed by bibliometric methods in various dimensions including publication time, institutional and journal distribution, international (regional) cooperation, and research hotspots.Results:The number and quality of publications in Chinese dental research institutions have increased significantly in the past decade, and the top four institutions in terms of publication number were Sichuan University, Peking University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, and Air Force Military Medical University. The distribution of the journals to which the articles belong was relatively scattered, and the research hotspots mainly focused on squamous cell carcinoma, periodontitis, bone regeneration, and materials science.Conclusions:The output of SCI papers and the number of high-quality papers in Chinese stomatology research institutions increased year by year during 2011-2020, and the scientific research strength continued to increase.

Objective To explore the therapeutic mechanism of maggot for psoriasis-like lesions in mice from the perspective of immune stress and complement activation regulation.Methods Thirty-six male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group,model group,maggot(1.25%,2.5%,and 5%)groups,and Benvitimod(1%)group.Psoriasis-like lesions were induced by application of imiquimod cream,and the severity of skin lesions was assessed using the modified Psoriasis Area and Severity Index(MPASI)score.Auricular swelling of the mice was observed,and histopathological changes of the skin lesions were examined with HE staining.Scratching behavior of the mice was observed and the spleen index was calculated.Toluidine blue staining was used to detect mast cells in the skin lesions,and serum levels of IgG,IgM,the complements CH50,C1s,C3,C3a,C5 and C5a,and the inflammatory factors IL-23,IL-17A and TNF-α were determined with ELISA.Results In mice with imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like skin lesions,treatment with the maggot at the 3 doses significantly decreased MPASI score,alleviated auricular swelling and pathologies in the skin lesions,reduced scratching behaviors,spleen index,and the number of mast cells in the lesions.Treatment with high-dose maggot significantly lowered serum levels of IgG,C1s,C3a,C5a,IL-23,IL-17A and TNF-α and the levels of C1s,C3,C3a,C5 and C5a in the lesion tissue,and increased serum levels of CH50,C3,and C5.The therapeutic effect of maggot showed a dose-effect dependence.Conclusion Maggot can alleviate psoriasis-like skin lesions in mice by inhibiting immune stress and complement activation.

OBJECTIVE:To study the protective effects of butein on oxidative stress injury of PC12 cell and its effects on mitochondrial function. METHODS:Rats PC12 cells were divided into normal control group,model group,solvent control group(1 ‰ dimethyl sulfoxide),butein high,medium and low concentration groups(2,1,0.5 μmol/L). The latter 4 groups were given relevant reagent/medicine for intervention;24 h later,other groups were given 100 mU/mL glucose oxidase to induce oxidant stress model except for normal control group. After 4 h culture,cell survival rate,apoptosis rate,the levels or activities of ROS,MDA,SOD,CAT,GSH-Px,ATP,IL-1β and TNF-α as well as the change of MMP were detected. RESULTS:Compared with normal control group,cell survival rate,the levels or activities of SOD,CAT,GSH-Px and ATP were all decreased significantly,and apoptotic rate,the content of ROS,the levels of MDA,IL-1β and TNF-α were all increased significantly(P<0.05 or P<0.01),while the MMP was decreased significantly. Compared with model group,above indexes of solvent control group had no significant change (P>0.05),cell survival rates,the levels or activities of SOD (except for medium and low concentration groups),CAT,GSH-Px(except for medium and low concentration groups),ATP(except for low concentration group)were increased significantly in butein high,medium and low concentration groups,while apoptotic rates,the content of ROS,the levels of MDA,IL-1 β and TNF-α were decreased significantly(P<0.05 or P<0.01),while the MMP were increased significantly. CONCLUSIONS:Butein can increase the antioxidant enzyme activity, stabilize mitochondrial function, inhibit oxidative stress and inflammationthus, increase energy generation inhibiting neuronal cell apoptosis ultimately exerting a neuroprotective effect.
