BACKGROUND:Various surface modification techniques have been used to improve the bioactivity of titaniumimplant in vivo. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of enamel matrix proteins (EMPs) on the growth of apatite coatings on dual thermo-etching treated pure titanium. METHODS:EMPs were extracted from porcine tooth germs and then were identified. Dual thermo-etching was applied to treat titanium samples fol owing polished, and then immersed in a blank simulated body fluid supersaturated calcification solution (control group) or supersaturated calcification solution containing different concentrations of EMPs for 7 days. The morphology of samples was observed using scanning electron microscope, and element components and crystal structures of the apatite coatings were analyzed by energy dispersive spectrometer and X-ray diffraction. RESULTS AND METHODS:After double-etching, a pit-like rough surface was observed on the titanium plate. After 7-day mineralization, in the control group, no overt calcium-phosphate deposits were found on the titanium surface;however, in the experimental groups, there were calcium-phosphate deposits, whose quantity and morphology changed with increasing concentrations. Energy dispersive spectrometer showed that the main element components of the mineralized coating included calcium, phosphorus, oxygen and carbon, and the calcium-phosphate ratio ranged from 1.32 to 1.41. The apatite coatings were proved to be carbonate hydroxyapatite by X-ray diffraction. To conclude, EMPs promote apatited deposition on pure titanium surfaces in a concentration-dependent manner.

Objective To evaluate the effect of a protein kinase CK2 inhibitor on intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species and DNA double?stand break in human non?small cell lung cancer H460 cells. Methods H460 cells were exposed to 0, 12?5, 25.0, and 50.0μmol/L quinalizarin, a specific inhibitor of protein kinase CK2, for 24 hours. The changes in protein and mRNA levels of CK2 subunits were measured. Flow cytometry was used to measure changes in the intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species in H460 cells after 4 or 24 hours of quinalizarin treatment. Immunofluorescence assays were performed to determine the effect of the CK2 inhibitor onγ?H2 AX expression and the average fluorescent number ofγ?H2 AX foci in H460 cells. Comparison was made by analysis of variance and t test. Results There were no significant differences in protein or mRNA levels of CK2 subunits in H460 cells after quinalizarin treatment ( CK2α,0μmol vs. 12?5 μmol/L, P=0?966;0 μmol/L vs. 25 μmol/L, P=0?355;0 μmol/L vs. 50 μmol/L, P=0?864, CK2α’ , 0 μmol/L vs. 12?5μmol/L,P=0?409;0μmol/L vs. 25μmol/L,P=0?833;0μmol/L vs. 50 μmol/L, P=0?0. 746, CK2β, 0 μmol/L vs. 12?5 μmol/L, P=0?532;0 μmol/L vs. 25 μmol/L, P=0?830;0 μmol/L vs. 50 μmol/L, P= 0?061 ) . The intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species were substantially elevated in H460 cells with the increase in quinalizarin concentration and treatment time. Different concentrations of quinalizarin resulted in dose?and time?dependent increases in the numbers of γ?H2 AX foci after 4 and 24 hours of treatment ( treated by Quianlizarin for 4 or 24 h, 0 μmol/L vs. 12?5μmol/L,12?5 μmol/L vs. 25 μmol/L, 25 μmol/L vs. 50 μmol/L, all P=0?000, concentration is 12?5μmol/L,25 μmol/L or 50 μmol/L, 4 h vs. 24 h, all all P=0?000 ) . Conclusions Quinalizarin can increase the intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species and DNA double?stand break in H460 cells by inhibition of protein kinase CK2 activity. This study provides a theoretical basis for using quinalizarin as a potential radiosensitizer for lung cancer.

Deep brain disease stimulation (DBS) is commonly used to treat movement disorders such as Parkinson disease,and current evidence suggests that DBS may also be useful for refractory epilepsy and is affected by a variety of factors.Studies show that stimulation of the anterior nucleus of the thalamus and hippocampus may decrease the frequency of refractory seizures.The efficacy of stimulating other targets remains inconclusive.An absence of structural abnormality on imaging and electrode position are associated with stimulation efficacy.Certain seizure types may respond more favorably to specific targets.There are several factors that potentially predict seizure outcome following DBS,but more large-scale clinical trials are needed.
