0.05) after condensation. The difference of leakage between A and B, B and D groups was significant from 20 and 15 days on. The glucose concentration in group A and B was higher than that in group C and D during the corresponding observation period and using the corresponding sealer materia.AH Plus resulted in less leakage than Pulp Canal Sealer EWT did when using lateral condensation technique and two sealer performed the same when using vertical condensation method.Conclusions:The sealing ability of vertical condensation technique is better than that of lateral.

Objective The comparison research of protective effect between intravenous infusion injection of safflor yellow and hydroxyl safflor yellow A on acute myocardial ischemia injury in rats. Methods Qualified 60 male Wistar rats were divided into 5 groups at random (12 in each group):Blank control group, AMI model (treated with normal saline) group, intravenous infusion injection of safflor yellow (90 mg/kg) group, HSYA low dosage (20 mg/kg) group and high dosage (40 mg/kg) group. The acute myocardial ischemia injury in rats was induced by ligating the anterior descending coronary artery in Wistar rats and administered different dosage of safflor yellow and hydroxyl safflor yellow A with intraperitoneal injection. Myocardial infarction degree (MID) was calculated by detecting myocardial infarction area with nitroblue tetrazolium(NBT) assay. The changes of ST-elevation, CK-MB, cTnT, SOD activities and MDA contents were detected and analyzed. Results The intravenous injection of safflor yellow and HSYA low dosage group can significantly decreased ST-elevation [difference is (0.087?.022)mv,(0.091?.014)mv],MID[difference is (20.13?.17)%,(18.36+9.38)%], CK-MB [difference is (1460.70+219.73)U/L, (1472.72?85.61)U/L], cTnT[difference is (2.345?.883)ng/ml, (2.358?.843)ng/ml], and MDA [difference is(5.71 ?.67) mmol/ml, (5.76?.84)mmol/ml] contents in serum, increased SOD[difference is(58.27?.99)U/ml,(56.49+5.19)U/ml]activities in serum.Conclusion It showed that intra venous injection of safflor yellow and hydroxyl safflor yellow A had the same protective effect on acute myocardial ischemia injury in rats. Hydroxyl safflor yellow A is an important portion of safflor yellow.

Orange peel was used as lowcost adsorbent in binding of Methylene Blue.The effects of equilibrium time,pH,dye concentration have been studied.Carboxyl,amine and phosphonate functional groups were present in the orange peel.The equilibrium time was 1 hour,the maximum adsorption capacities of the orange peel was 370.3?31.0 mg/g at pH 10.The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were well fitted in this biosorption system.Results showed relatively higher rate constant and biosorption capacities.These adsorption performance indicate the orange peel as a potentially economical adsorbent for dye removal.

Purpose To establish a new method for detecting p16INK4a in cervical tissues with time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TRFIA).Methods 126 cases of paraffin imbedding tissues of cervix were selected for immunohistochemistry (IHC) of EnVision two-step and TRFIA.Results There were 20 cases of no intraepithelial lesion or malignancy,24 cases of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL),53 cases of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) and 29 cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).In the groups of no intraepithelial lesion or malignancy,LSIL,HSIL and SCC,p161NK4a positive was seen in 1,19,53 and 28,respectively.TRFIA test results displayed p16INK4a positive in 3,17,50 and 27 cases,respectively.Positive of p16 using by TRFIA in no intraepithelial lesion or malignancy,LSIL,above HSIL was 15.00％,70.83％ and 93.90％,respectively (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion TRFIA is suitable for detecting of p16INK4a protein and demand low detection equipment,p16INK4a expression detected by TRFIA may helpful for large scale detection in various clinical institution.

Aim To investigate the inhibitory effect of cistanche phenylethanol glycosides (CPhGs) on cardiac hypertrophy in rats caused by pressure overload and its related mechanism. Methods Male SD rats(n =70) were randomly divided into control group (Con), sham operation group (Sham), model group (Mod), positive control group (Vst), and different CPhGs dosage (125, 250, 500 mg • kg-1) groups. Cardiac ultrasound indexes, heart-weight to body-weight index (HWI), cardiac histopathological changes, and the area of myocardical cells (AMC) were detected. Plasma ET-1 and BNP levels were detected by Elisa, and protein expressions of phosphorylated PI3K(p-PI3K), PI3K, phosphorylated PKB (p-pKB) and PKB were detected by Western blot. Results Compared with Mod group, LVPWT, HWI, plasma ET-1, BNP and AMC decreased to different degrees. LVEDD, LVEF, LVFS, the protein expressions of myocardial tissues pPI3K and p-PKB increased to different degrees in CPhGs groups. Moreover, the indexes of CPhGs 250 and 500 mg • kg-1 groups were significantly improved compared to those of Mod group (P < 0. 05 or 0. 01). Compared with Vst group, there were no significant difference in CPhGs 500 mg • kg-1 group. Conclusions CPhGs could inhibit cardiac hypertrophy in rats induced by pressure overload, which might be related to the activation of PI3K/PKB signaling pathway.

Applications of network pharmacology are increasingly widespread and methods abound in the field of drug development and pharmacological research. In this study, we choose rosiglitazone compound as the object to predict the targets and to discuss the mechanism based on three kinds of prediction methods of network pharmacology. Comparison of the prediction result has identified that the three kinds of prediction methods had their own characteristics: targets and pathways predicted were not in accordance with each other. However, the calcium signaling pathway could be predicted in the three kinds of methods, which associated with diabetes and cognitive impairment caused by diabetes by bioinformatics analysis. The above conclusion indicates that the calcium signaling pathway is important in signal pathway regulation of rosiglitazone compound, which provides a clue to further explain the mechanism of the compound and also provides a reference for the selection and application of methods of network pharmacology in the actual research.

AIM: To investigate the variation and distribution of abnormaly methylated p15 INK4B in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and its subgroups. METHODS: The abnormal methylation of p15 INK4B in 32 cases with MDS was studied using methylation-specific PCR (MSP). RESULTS: The positive rate of abnormal methylation of p15 INK4B was about 50% in MDS. The ratios in subtypes were: 0% (0/6) in RA,20% (1/5) in RA-S,57.1% (4/7) in RAEB,74.1% (5/7) in CMML,85.7% (6/7) in RAEB-t, respectively.It was worth noticing that 4 cases represented abnormal methylation of p15INK4B during their transformation and progression into AML. CONCLUSION: The abnormal methylation in p15 INK4B might be one of the causes of MDS, which was related to pathologial process of MDS.Every subtype was not solitary classification completely. Abnormal methylation of p15 INK4B was apt to occur accompanying the progression and transformation of the subtypes.
