Objective To study the regulation of quorum sensing molecule tyrosol and farnesol on biofilm formation of Candida albicans. Methods Candida albicans biofilms of clinic isolates and standard strain SC5314 were built when quorum sensing molecule existed. And inverted microscope was used to observe the morphology of C. albicans cells. RT-PCR and MTT assay were carried out to investigate the effect of quorum sensing molecule on expression of the two genes (HTA1 and EFG1) and cytoactive. Results Tyrosol could not promote hyphae development and cytoactive of C. albicans biofilms. The expression of HTA1 of C. albicans in biofilms was up-regulated by tyrosol but EFG1 was not. The inhibitory effect of farnesol on hyphae development, cytoactive and gene expression were not changed by addition of tyrosol. Conclusion Tyrosol can make C. albicans biofilms active in early stage. But when tyrosol and farnesol were simultaneously added, the effect of tyrosol were masked by farnesol. And C. albicans cells were more sensitive to farnesol than to tyrosol.

BACKGROUND:Based on variational principle and weighting technology of three-dimensional finite element method, human teeth with a complex morphology can be modeled, which helps to understand the stress distribution of dental hard tissue and prosthesis during the dynamic repair process. OBJECTIVE:To comprehensively analyze the three-dimensional finite element studies concerning biomechanics of dental prostheses, focusing on the effects of metal crown, porcelain thickness, root canal preparation and fil ing on the tooth stress. METHODS:A computer-based search of PubMed (1993-04/2012-09), China Academic Journal Network Publishing Database (2001-2008), and VIP (2001-2008) was performed by the first author to retrieve articles concerning the effects of metal crown, porcelain thickness, root canal preparation and fil ing on the tooth stress. The keywords were“porcelain-fused-to-metal, finite element method, stress analysis, root canal”in English and Chinese. Articles with repetitive contents or meta-analysis were ruled out. Then 40 articles were suitable for further analysis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Finite element method has important significance to establish high-fidelity and high-accuracy models in oral medicine, thereby providing effective biomechanical information for the root canal treatment and post-treatment repair. Scholars continue to explore the stress distribution of dental prostheses during chewing. This review summarizes the stress changes of post and core crowns, supporting reference for further research. Three-dimensional finite element method can be used to build nonlinear three-dimensional finite element models with anisotropic biomechanical characteristics, and can gradual yimprove the transition from static analysis to a dynamic analysis, truly achieving accurate simulation of oral biology and dental morphology as wel as chewing function of the teeth.

Objective To study the impact of HBV/C gene G87 mutation on HLA-I expression of host cells. Methods HBV wild-type genome plasmid was reconstructed by site-directed mutagenesis technique and subcloning technique into expression vector of G87 mutant (EBO-G87) and expression vector of wild type (EBO-WT), which were transfected into HepG2 cells via liposome technique,respectively.The transfected cells were stained with murine mAb anti-HLA-ABC conjugated directly to FITC, and HLA-I expression on their membranes was analyzed by flow cytometry. Results The constructed vectors of EBO-WT and EBO-G87 were identified by restriction enzyme digestion and nucleotide sequencing. The mean fluorescence intensity of HLA-I expression on transfected cells with EBO empty vector was at low level(2.3). It was elevated remarkably to 18.8 by EBO-WT, while that of EBO-G87 was increased to 10.5. Conclusion Two strains of HBV may up-regulate the expression of HLA-I, and G87 mutation of C gene may affect the expression level of HLA-I on host cells.

Objective To study the effect and safety of intra-arterial thrombolysis combined with mechanical ad-juvant in the treatment of acute large artery occlusive infarction of anterior circulation and posterior circulation. Methods Fourty-tow patients were divided into anterior circulation group (24 cases) and posterior circulation group(18 cases). The recanalization rate, NIHSS score (National Institute of Health stroke scale), GCS score ( Glasgow coma score,GCS), BI ( Barthel Index) excellent rate, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage rate and mortality was analyzed after intra-arterial thrombolysis combined with mechanical aids therapy. Results The anterior circulation group was mainly caused by car-diogenic embolism (15/24, 62.5%) and posterior circulation group was mainly caused by atherosclerosis thrombosis (5/18, 72.2%). The NIHSS score was significantly lower after treatment (8.3±4.9 vs. 8.1±5.7) than before treatment(15.1±5.3 vs. 16.8±7.8)(P=0.001 vs. P=0.001), the GCS score was significantly higher after treatment(13.9±4.4 vs. 12.8±4.2)than be-fore treatment(9.5 ± 3.8 vs. 9.6 ± 3.7)(P=0.001 vs. P=0.021). The symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage rate was signifi-cant higher in anterior circulation group (5/24, 20.8%) than in posterior circulation group (0,0%) (P<0.05). Compared with the anterior circulation group, the recanalization rate trended to increase in posterior circulation group (P=0.830).The symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage rate in anterior circulation group (5/24,20.8%) was significant higher than in pos-terior circulation group (0,0%) (P<0.05), the mortality was similar between these two groups. Conclusions Intra-arterial thrombolysis combined with mechanical adjuvant therapy can improve neurological deficit in acute large artery occlusive infarction and increase the recanalization rate,which is more suitable for the treatment of posterior circulation infarction.
