Objective:To study the feasibility of microarc oxide treatment on the enhancement of titanium-ceramic bonding strength. Method:Titanium samples in the size of 25 mm?3 mm?0.5 mm were prepared with smooth surface(group 1),rough surface(group 2) and microacrc oxide treated surface(group 3). Nickel-chromium alloy samples in the same size were prepared (group 4). The surface of the samples was observed by scanning electron microscope(SEM) and dispersive spectrometry analysis. Then, the samples were bonded to porcelain. The bonding interface was observed by SEM. The bonding strength of the samples was measured by a three-point bending test according to ISO 9693.Results:Microarc oxide treated surface was rough and porous. The interface of microarc oxide treated surface bonded to porcelain was compact. The bonding strength(MPa) of the samples of group 1,2,3 and 4 to porcelain was 30.79?1.3,36.12?3.03,45.84?3.15 and 48.35?3.06 respectively(group 3 vs group 1 or 2 P0.05). Conclusion:The microarc oxide treatment on titanium can increase the titanium-ceramic bond strength.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of preoxidation on the bonding strength of titanium to porcelain.Method:12 titanium plates(25 mm?3 mm?0.5 mm) were pre-oxidated according to usual preoxidation procedure and 12 without preoxidation were used as the controls.The samples(6 in each group) were then bonded with bonding porcelain,opaque porcelain,dentin porcelain and glaze of Duceratin(Degussa) or Vita titankeramik(Vita) respectively.The bonding strength of Ti/porcelain was evaluated using three-point bending test according to ISO 9693 1990 standard. The interface of Ti/porcelain bonding was observed by SEM.Results:Bonding strength(MPa) of Ti/Duceratin preoxided group and the corresponding control was 41.910?2.778 and 33.097?5.297(P0.05),respectively.SEM observation showed inter-lock and tight bonding of Ti/porcelain in pre-oxidated interface,more cracks and gaps between Ti and porcelain in non-pre-oxidated interface.Conclusion:Pre-oxidation may improve bonding strength of Ti/Duceratin system, while has no significant effect on bonding strength of Ti/Vita titankeramik system.

Objective To investigate the hepatoprotective effects of total flavonoids in Scorzonera austriaca Wild (TFSA) in vivo and in vitro. Methods In vivo, ICR mice were randomly divided into negative, model, positive, TFSA’s low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups,and acute chemical liver injury models were constructed with CCl4 and acute autoimmune liver injury models with Bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccine ( BCG ) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS).The activity of serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was detected and liver tissue was used as biopsy.In vitro, liver cells of Wistar rat were extracted and isolated by orthotopic collagenase digestion method, and liver cell damage was induced with CCl4.Then the liver cells were cultured with TFSA solution and the contents of AST, ALT, LDH, nitric oxide (NO), superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the supernatant and malondialdehyde (MDA) in rat hepatocyte were detected.Results The results of CCl4-and BCG+LPS-induced acute chemical liver injury models in mice showed that there were less microstructures damage of liver tissue in TFSA groups compared with model group in liver pathological sections (HE), AST, ALT and LDH levels in model group were significantly higher than those in negative group (P<0.01), the above indexes in positive drug group were significantly lower than those in negative group (P<0.01,P<0.05), and the above indexes in TFSA’s low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups were significantly lower than those in model group(P<0.01,P<0.05).The results of CCl4-induced rat hepatocyte injury in vitro showed that AST, ALT, LDH, MDA and NO levels were significantly higher and SOD level was lower in model group than those in negative group (P<0.01), AST, ALT, LDH, MDA and NO levels were significantly lower and SOD level was higher in positive drug group than those in model group (P<0.01, P<0.05), and AST, ALT, LDH, MDA and NO levels were significantly lower and SOD level was higher in TFSA ’ s low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups were significantly lower than those in model group ( P <0.01, P <0.05 ) .Conclusion TFSA have hepatoprotective effects on CCl4-induced chemical liver injury and BCG+LPS-induced immune liver injury in mice, and rat hepatocyte damage.This study provides experimental data for the development and utilization of Scorzonera austriaca Wild resources and new hepatoprotective medicines.

Aim To explore the possible protective effect of ginsenoside Rg1 on oligomeric Aβ1-42 induced apoptosis and its possible mechanism. Methods The damage was induced by oligomeric Aβ1-42 in primary cortical neurons. Cells were incubated in the absence or presence of Aβ, or co-incubated in sp600125 with Aβ, or pre-incubated in ginsenoside Rg1 then co-incu-bated in Aβ. The p-JNK, JNK, caspase-3 activity and TUNEL-positive cells were detected. Results In Aβ1-42 treated group, the ratio of p-JNK/JNK level was increased more than that in non-treated group for 15 min. However, in neurons preincubated with (2. 5, 5, 10 μmol·L-1 ) ginsenoside Rg1 and then co-incuba-ted with 5 μmol·L-1 oligomeric Aβ1-42 , the p-JNK/JNK ratio, caspase-3 activity and TUNEL positive neu-rons were significantly decreased compared with those of Aβ1-42 treated group. Conclusion Ginsenoside Rg1 can attenuate the oligomeric Aβ1-42-induced apop-tosis by JNK pathway.

ObjectiveTo explore the risk factors for the prognosis of respiratory failure in neonates with gestational age≥34 weeks. MethodsA total of 143 hospitalized neonates with respiratory failure who had gestational age≥34 weeks were enrolled from Jan. 2011 to Jun. 2013. According to the outcome, the neonates were divided into good prognosis group and poor prognosis group. The risk factors for the prognosis of respiratory failure were screened by univariate analysis and mul-tivariate binary logistic regression model.ResultsAmong the 143 neonates, 105 neonates had good prognosis and 38 neonates had poor prognosis. Univariate analysis showed that the mode of delivery, small for gestational age, 5 minutes Apgar score <7, and with primary disease being pneumonia/sepsis were associated with a poor prognosis. The differences were statistically signif-icant (P<0.05). Furthermore, the multivariate binary logistic regression model showed that, small for gestation age (OR=23.87, 95%CI:3.149-180.9) and pneumonia/sepsis (OR=2.996, 95%CI:1.514-5.928) were the independent factors of poor prognosis. ConclusionsSmall for gestation age and primary diseases being pneumonia/sepsis are the independent factors inlfuencing prog-nosis of respiratory failure in neonates born at a gestational age≥34 weeks.

Objective To investigate the possible effect of ginsenoside Rg1 and oligo Aβ1-42 on PKA/CREB pathway.Methods The damage was induced by oligomeric Aβ1-42 in primary cortical neuron.Neurons were incubated with or without glutamate,or incubated in Aβ,or pre-incubated in Rg1 and then co-incubated in Aβ.The proteins of p-CREB,t-CREB,PKA Ⅱ α and BDNF were detected by Western blot.Results After the treatment with Oligo Aβ1-42 for 2 h,the p-CREB/t-CREB level induced by glutamate was obviously lower (P＜ 0.001).However,in neurons pre incubatedwith 2.5,5.0,10.0 μmol/L of ginsenoside Rg1 and then co-incubated with 5μmol/L of oligo Aβ1-42,the p-CREB/t-CREB induced by glutamate was significantly increased as compared with that of Aβ1-42 group (P＜0.05).Upon Aβ1-42 exposure for 2 h,cortical neurons showed a statistically significant increase in PKA Ⅱ α as compared to the control group (P ＜ 0.001).Pre-treatmentwith varying doses of ginsenoside Rg1 (2.5,5,10μmol/L) showed a decrease in PKA Ⅱ α as compared to neurons treated with Aβ1-42 alone for 2 h (P＜0.001).Furthermore,BDNF level significantly increased in Rgl-pretreated cells as compared to cells treated with Aβ1-42 alone for 24h (P＜0.05).Conclusions Ginsenoside Rg1 attenuates the oligo Aβ142 inhibition of PKA/CREB pathway.
