Objective To investigate the influence of genistein(Gen) on the growth and apoptosis regulation of hepatoma carcinoma cells SMMC-7721.Methods SMMC-7721 cells were divided into three Gen groups treated with different concentrations(5.0,10.0,20.0 mg?L-1) and control group(without Gen).After SMMC-7721 cells were treated for 24 and 48 h,the changes of ultrastructure of cells were observed under electron microscope, MTT was used to detect the inhibitory rate of proliferation of SMMC-7721 cells,flow cytometry was performed to analyze cell phase;immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of Caspases-3 protein.Results Compared with control group,chromatin in cellular nucleus became conglomeration or lumping,with chondriosome swelling in Gen groups.With the increasing of Gen concentration,the cellular nucleus became condensed,heterochromatin agglutinating,ground cytoplasm obviously cavitating;with the increase of Gen concentration and prolongation of time,from 24 to 48 h,MTT showed the inhibitory rate of proliferation of SMMC-7721 cells increased in a time-and dose-dependent manner.Flow cytometry analysis showed that with the increase of Gen concentration,the number of cells at G2/M phase increased,the number of cells at S phase decreased and the ratio of G0/G1 also decreased.Immunohistochemistry results showed the expression of protein Caspases-3 increased with the Gen concentration in a dose-dependent manner(P

Due to the influence of potential psychological trauma, athletes in the competition may repetitively suffer poor performances, such as losing his usual form, slump, choking, and so on. These under-performing problems actually are symptoms of sports post-traumatic stress disorder (SPTSD). SPTSD refers to the pathological physical and mental after-effects of a trauma previously suffered by the athlete on that athlete's subsequent performances. This is a very common physical and emotional problem in athletics that impairs athletes' performance, affecting their competition results. By peak performance eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy, therapists can deal with this problem effectively and help athletes eliminate symptoms of sports post-traumatic stress disorder, improving the competition performance.

Objective To evaluate the shaping ability of ProTaper Universal (PU), ProTaper Next (PN) and M3 in preparation of curved root canals by CBCT (cone-beam computed tomography). Methods Sixty extracted maxillary first premolars were divided into two groups according to the canal curvature:10°-25° group and 26°-75°group. Then, each group was divided into PU group, PN group and M3 group and prepared with three instruments respectively. Canals were scanned by CBCT scanner before and after preparation. The efficacy of canal preparation was analyzed. The width of dentine removed was measured at three points (2 mm, 5 mm and 8 mm to root tip). The apical transportation indexes and the centring ratio values were recorded. Results PN group and M3 group needed less time in preparation and showed more efficiency than those of PU group in 26°-75° groups. One of root canals in PU group appeared deformation, neither PN group nor M3 group appeared deformation after 5 root canal preparations in average. None instrument was broken in three groups. PU group removed more materials at internal walls than PN group and M3 group at internal walls of root canals in 5 mm from the apex. There was no difference in the offset of the external walls of root canals. Compared with the offset of the internal and external walls of root canals in 2 mm from the apex, the apical transportations prepared by the PN group were less than those of M3 group and PU group in 26°-75° groups. Compared with the offset of the internal and external walls of root canals in 5 mm from the apex, the apical transportations prepared by the PN group and M3 group were less than those of PU group, and their centring ratio values were greater than those of PU group in 26°-75°groups. Conclusion ProTaper Next and M3 tested in this study are effective and time-saving in shaping curved root canals. The results indicate that both ProTaper Next and M 3are comparable to optimally enlarge root canal.

Objective To analyze the CT features of large adrenal adenoma and to compare the pathological features of large adenoma and small adenoma in order to improve the diagnosis of large adenoma.Methods The unenhanced and enhanced CT images of 14 patients with large adrenal adenoma,proven surgically and pathologically and pathological features of small adrenal adenomas in 30 cases were retrospectively reviewed.The pathological features were evaluated in the cell composition,the incidence of cystic degeneration and hemorrhage of large adenoma and small adenoma.Results 14 large adenomas were unilateral and single,3 had distinct margin and 11 had indistinct margin,14 showed regular contour of round or ellipse,the size of tumors were 5 cm?5.5 cm～18 cm?20 cm.14 large adenomas presened heterogenous density in unenhanced CT study with CT value of-36～51 HU,and 3 showed calcification and 6 showed cystic degeneration.Most of the 14 adenomas presented heterogenenous enhancement after contrast administration.Pathologic examination indicated that the clear cells were predominant in the cell composition of small adenoma,while in the case of large adenoma,the proportion of compact cell predominance was equivalent to that of the clear cell and compact cell concomitance.3 small adenomas and 6 large adenomas had cystic degeneration,5 small adenomas and 4 large adenomas had hemorrhage respectively.Statistical analysis suggested that large adenoma had higher incidence of degeneration than that in small adenoma,while no difference was found in the cell composition and incidence of hemorrhage between large adenoma and small adenoma.Conclusion The large adrenal adenomas have higher incidence of degeneration than that in small adenoma,while no difference is found in cell composition and incidence of hemorrhage between large adenoma and small adenoma.
