· AIM: To observe the effects of PTEN and the tumor suppressor gene in proliferative LECs of the rabbit.·METHODS:Forty-two white rabbits were randomly divided into test group (36 rabbits) and control group (6rabbits). The transparent lenses of treated rabbits were operated with extra capsular cortex extraction, and the controls were kept untouched. The rabbits were sacririced at 1d, 3d, 1wk, 2wK, 1mo and 2mo after surgery.Immunohistochemistry was applied to detect proliferative cellular nuclei antigen (PCNA) as well as hybridization in situ and reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reactions (RT-PCR) were applied to detect phosphatase as well as tensin homology deleted on chromosome 10(PTEN) mRNA in lens equartor.·RESULTS:PCNA expression increased significantly to a high level at 1wk, began to reduce 2wk later, and recovered to the normal level 1 or 2mo after the surgery.PTEN mRNA expressed positively in normal rabbit LECs.The relative PTEN mRNA contents reduced greatly at 1dafter operation and remained low level at 3d. It began to increase slightly at 1wk, kept rising at 2wk and regained the normal expression after 1 or 2mo. There was inverse correlation between the PTEN mRNA and PCNA expression.·CONCLUSION: PTEN mRNA expresses positively in normal rabbit LECs plasma. PTEN participates in LECs proliferation and correlates with lens proliferative conditions.

OBJECTIVEThis longitudinal study aimed to investigate the caries status of primary and permanent teeth among 6-year-old children in Sichuan Province from 2010 to 2012.

METHODSA sample that comprised 652 6-year-old children from six different elementary schools (three represented the urban areas, and the other three represented the rural areas) were examined according to a baseline, with follow-up examinations at 1, 2, and 3 years. Eruption and caries experience were re- corded using World Health Organization criteria.

RESULTSThe prevalence rates of primary tooth caries of 6-year-old children in Sichuan Province for 3 years were 74.23% (484/652), 75.61% (493/652), and 81.90% (534/652). The filling rate of the primary teeth was 5.87% (145/2,471) in 2012, with significant differences (P < 0.01) between the urban areas [10.84% (133/ 1,227)] and rural areas [0.96% (12/1,244)]. The total pit and fissure rate of the first molar was 14.11% (92/652) in 2012, with significant differences between the two areas (P < 0.01) [rural: 0.66% (2/303); urban: 25.79% (90/349)].

CONCLUSIONThe pre- valence of caries in the primary and permanent teeth of 6-year-old children was high. An increasing prevalence tendency was observed as the age increased. The prevalence of first molar caries indicated that prevention and control of dental caries should be performed as early as possible.

The study of protein-surface interactions represents one of the most important topics in the field of biomaterials.It is believed that blood cells do not actually contact the biomaterial surface directly,but rather interact with the molecular structure of the adsorbed protein layer.Therefore,protein plays a key role in regulation and induction of cells.It provides ideas for biomaterials designing that exploring the molecular mechanism of controlling protein adsorption and regulating cell response.This paper reviews the research progress of the interactions of protein and surfaces,and prospects the future research direction.

Objective To explore the effects of amlodipine,perindopril and valsartan on plasma adiponectin and retinol binding protein 4 in elderly patients with essential hypertension.Methods From March 2007 to July 2010,238 elderly patients with essential hypertension were selected and 193 cases completed this study.Patients were randomly divided into 3 groups:amlodipine group (n=68),perindoprilgroup (n=60) and valsartan group (n=65).Patients in each group were treated with amlodipine,perindopril and valsartan respectively for at least 12 weeks.The changes in blood pressure,heart rate,body height,body mass index (BMI),abdominal circumference,waist circumference (WC),levels of blood lipids,plasma adiponection and retinol binding protein 4 were observed before and after treatment.Results Compared with pre-treatment,systolic blood pressure in 3 groups were significantly decreased after treatment (all P＜0.01).There were no significant differences in blood pressure among 3 groups after treatment (all P＞0.05).Compared with pre treatment,plasma adiponectin level was significantly increased in perindopril group and valsartan group after treatment [(7.4±1.8) μg/L vs.(8.3± 1.8) μg/L,(7.5±1.7) μg/L vs.(8.4±1.9)μg/L,both P＜0.01].Plasma adiponectin level was higher in perindopril group and valsartan group than in amlodipine group after treatment [(8.3±1.8) μg/L vs.(7.6±1.8) μg/L,(8.4±1.9) μg/Lvs.(7.6±1.8) μg/L,both P＜0.05].Compared with pretreatment,plasma retinol binding protein 4 level in 3 groups were all decreased after treatment,and the decrements had significant differences in perindopril group and valsartan group (both P＜0.01) but had no difference in amlodipine group (P＞0.05).Plasma adiponectin retinol binding protein 4 levels were lower in perindopril group and valsartan group than in amlodipine group after treatment[(36.6± 14.2) μg/L vs.(42.7± 13.8) μg/L,(36.3±14.1) μg/L vs.(42.7±13.8) μg/L,respectively,both P＜0.01].Conclusions Perindopril and valsartan play important roles in cardiovascular protection beyond the antihypertensive effects by increasing plasma adiponection level and decreasing plasma retinol binding protein 4 level in elderly patients with hypertension.

Objective To evaluate the mid-term results of arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using Transfix technique.Methods From August 2002 to December 2003,38 patients (24 left knees and 14 right knees) with ACL ruptures underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction with hamstring tendon using Transfix femoral fixation and interference screws tibial fixation.There were 21 males and 17 females,aged from 19 to 48 years (average,28.4 years).The causes of injury included sports injury in 27 cases,traffic injury in 2 cases and fall injury in 2 cases,and 7 patients had no significant injury.There were 6 cases of acute injury and 32 cases of old injury.Anterior drawer test was positive in 35 cases,weak positive in 1 case and negative in 2 cases.Lachman test was positive in 37 cases,and weak positive in 1 case.The Lysholm score was used to evaluate the results.Moreover,X-rays and MRIs were used to observe the conditions of graft and bone tunnel.Results Thirty-six patients were followed up for 6.3 to 7.6 years (average,6.8 years).All patients had normal joint range of motion.The Lysholm score improved from preoperative 64.4±4.52 to postoperative 85.6±4.60,and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).The X-rays and MRIs showed femoral and tibial tunnel enlargement in 3 cases,femoral tunnel enlargement in 5 cases and tibial tunnel enlargement in 3 cases.No joint space narrowing was found in all patients.One patient underwent arthroscopic revision ACL reconstruction with allograft tendon using bioabsorbable interference screws fixation on both tibial and femoral sides for re-rupture of ACL 4 years after operation due to trauma.Conclusion Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction with hamstring tendon using Transfix femoral fixation and interference screws tibial fixation is an effective method,which can provide satisfactory joint range of motion and stability.
