OBJECTIVE:To investigate the quality of Isatis indigotica of different growing periods.METHODS:The property and the microscopic characteristics of Isatis indigotica of 1 or 2 growing years were identified and the contents of adenosine,indigo and indirubin were determined by HPLC. RESULTS:Isatis indigotca of 1 growing year showed wide liber and sparsely arranged parenchyma cells while Isatis indigotca of 2 growing years showed narrow liber and tightly arranged parenchyma cells. Without timely open-air drying or proper storage after harvesting,the Isatis indigotca was likely to experience color change of darkening in cross-section,increase of the content of the indigo,and decrease of the contents of adenosine and indirubin. The Isatis indigotica of too short growing period or two growing years were low in contents of adenosine,indigo and indirubin. CONCLUSION:The planting of Isatis indigotica should be standardized and which should be given a quality control to avoid the great quality difference arose from differences of habitat,planting and harvesting,initial processing and storing method,etc.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the characteristics and influential factors of aderverse drug reactionl(ADR)induced by Re-duning injection. METHODS:The clinical information of pediatric patients receiving Reduning injection were collected from pediatric department of our hospital during Nov. 2014-Oct. 2015. Using ADR as outcome indicators,case control in the queue design was con-ducted. The influential factors of ADR induced by Reduning injection were analyzed by using binary univariate and multivariate Logis-tic regression analysis,Cox regression fitted 1∶3 matching Logistic regression analysis. RESULTS:Of 9 187 cases,the average age of children was(4.21±2.63)year-old;there were 23 ADR cases,with the incidence of 0.25%. There were 21 cases of rash(9 cas-es of combined pruritus)and 2 severe ADR cases(including 1 case of twitching limbs,blue complexion,peripheral cold,high fe-ver,leg pain and 1 case of limbs cold and high fever);23 cases of ADR symptoms finally disappeared after treated. Based on drug dose and usage of low concentrations and low drip rate in our hospital,regression analysis showed that age,sex,drug dose,solvent amount,concentration,drip rate,source of children,drug combination,the group number of daily continuous intravenous infusion, infusion order,the days of continuous medication and other factors were not statistically significant (P>0.05);the incidence of ADR induced by Reduning injection was 0.11% in the group of 1-3 years old children and was 0.31% in the group of 3-16 years old children. There was no statistical significance between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The reasons for ADR induced by Re-duning injection might be the drug itself,the wrong methods,etc. Reasonable drug dosage,low concentration,low drip rate,using sophisticated filters infusion device and changing infusion device while dressing can reduce the occurrence of ADR.

Plasma cell gingivitis is a rare form of gingival hyperplasia,mostly located in mucous membrane and characterized by swollen gums.Pathological examination showed dense plate shaped gathering of plasma cells in the connective tissue.Diagnosis relies on pathological examination.The cause of the disease is unknown,may be associated with allergic reactions.Expectant treatment is often use for the disease. Relapse of the lesion is commot,but canceration is rare.One case of plasma cell gingivitis followed for 2 years is presented,and the clinical manifestation and treatment are discussed in this paper.

Genetic bistable systems are a large class of important biological systems. Bistability, the capacity to achieve two distinct stable steady states in response to a set of external stimuli, arises within biological systems ranging from the ? phage switch in bacteria to cellular signal transduction pathways in mammalian cells. On the other hand, the increasing experimental evidence in the form of bimodal population distribution has indicated that noise plays a very key role in the switching of bistable systems. However, the physiological mechanism underling noise-induced switching behaviors has not been well explored yet. In the previous work, it has been showed that noise can induce coherent switch for a single genetic Toggle switch system. Here the influence of several kinds of noises (including intracellular and extracellular noises) on synchronized switch was investigated for a multicell gene toggle switch network system. It has been found that multiplicative noises resulting from fluctuations of either synthesis or degradation rates and the additive noise within each cell (they altogether are called as intracellular noises) all can induce the synchronized switch, and that there exists an optimal noise intensity such that the synchronized switch is optimally achieved and the amplification factor has the maximal value. On the other hand, the extracellular noises arising from the stochastic fluctuation of the cellular environment, not only brings about the synchronized switch, but also enhances it by suppressing intracellular fluctuations when the intracellular noises are not enough to induce the synchronized switch. Finally, the influence of the diffusive rate of signal molecules affected by noise on the dynamics of the multicellular system was also investigated, showing that the larger the diffusive rate, the better the synchronized switch and the larger the amplification factor.

BACKGROUND:Poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) and polypropylenecarbonate (PPC) are new medical materials developed in recent years, characterized as good biocompatibility, biodegradability and the low price. OBJECTIVE:To prepare the PBS/PPC biofilm by electrostatic spinning method and evaluate its physical and chemical properties, degradation performance and effect on cel proliferationin vitro. METHODS:The PBS/PPC biofilm was prepared using electrostatic spinning method: 0.9 g PBS and 0.9 g PPC were dissolved in 10 mL of trichloromethane at room temperature and stirred magneticaly until they were fulydissolved. Then, the spinning solution was added into a spinning tube with a distance of about 15 cm and at a voltage of 18 kV. The surface morphology was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The intensity, contact angle and water absorption, pH value and weight loss in the process ofin vitro degradation were measured. MG63 cels were co-cultured with the biofilm for 7 days and cel proliferation was detected by cel counting kit-8. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The PBS/PPC biofilm showed a porous structure with interconnected pores. The fiber diameter was about 0.88 μm, the average aperture was about 5.68 μm, the porosity was 78.3%, the fracture intensity was 2.31 MPa, the elongation rate at break was 23.48%, the average value of contact angle was 87°, and the water absorption rate was 68.54%. During the biofilm degradation, the pH value decreased gradualy andreduced to 6.76 at 12 weeks; meanwhile, the biofilm degraded equaly and gradualy, and the weight loss rate was 6.04% at the end of the 12th week. The results of cel counting kit-8 showed that the PBS/PPC biofilm could promote cel proliferation. Overal, the PBS/PPC biofilm has good physical and chemical properties, good space-making feature, wettability and degradability, which can provide sufficient time for bone tissue regeneration.

There are different degrees of bone defect in immediate implantation for anterior dentition. During conventional guided bone regeneration, the wound was difficultly closed in operation,and there was more inflammatory response and infection risk. In this paper,a case of immediate implantation for anterior dentition combined with platelet rich-fibrin(PRF) was reported,the clinical effects of guiding bone regeneration and alleviating the inflammatory response.
