Objective To evaluate the root canal deviations in vitro teeth curved root with TF and Protaper instru-ments by cone beam computer tomography( CBCT) . Methods 40 teeth in vitro in the standard collection were ran-domly assigned to two groups, prepared with the crown-down method, the TF group ready to 0. 06/#25; the Pro-taper group ready to F2 . CBCT scans were taken to measure the mesial and distal thicknesses of the tube wall in vitro teeth before and after preparation. The root canal deviation and the rate of shaft center were measured with ref-erence to the formula proposed by Gambill. Results The TF group need less time in preparation and has more effi-ciency(P<0. 05) than the Protaper group; both TF and Protaper devices appeared deformation after 5 root canal preparations in average, no instruments broken. Comparing the offset of the internal and external wall of root canal in 3, 5, 7 mm from the apex, the root canal deviation prepared by the TF group was less than the Protaper group, and its rate of axis center was greater than the Protaper group, closer to 1. Conclusion TF can maintain original root canal morphology in preparing curved root canal, also has higher efficiency;under the noninvasive condition, the root canal forming ability of preparation instruments can be evaluated by CBCT.

Objective To establish the model of pancreatoduodenal allotransplantation in pigs with enteric drainage (ED) and portal venous drainage (PVD). Methods Forty-six hybrid landraces were divided into two groups (donor and recipient groups) randomly, for pancreatoduodenal allotransplantation. Donors were perfused via abdomial aorta without clamping the portal venous outflow with UW solution after heparinization. Whole pancreatoduodenal graft was harvested with segments of abdomial aorta and portal vein and shaped under cold UW solution. Then, the end-to-end anastomosis was performed with the donor iliac artery bifurcation “Y” graft to the recipient superior mesenteric arteries and celiac artery. Furthermore, type Ⅰdiabete model was made by removal of the recipient pancreas. The venous anastomosis was reconstructed between the donor portal vein and the recipient superior mesenteric vein. Meanwhile, the end-to-side anastomosis was performed with the donor common iliac artery bifurcation “Y” graft to the recipient abdomial aorta and the side-to-side intestinal anastomosis was performed between the donor duodenum and the recipient jejunum. External jugular vein was intubated for transfusion. The levels of blood glucose, insulin and glucagon in blood were measured before and during the operation and 1, 3, 5, 7 d after operation. Results Twenty-three cases of pancreatoduodenal allotranplantations were performed on pigs. One died from complication of anesthesia. Success rate of operation was 95.7%.Complications of operation happened in 2 cases in which one was phlebothrombosis, incidence 4.5% and the other was duodenojejunal anastomotic leak, incidence 4.5%. The level of blood glucose increased within 30 min and recovered on the 2nd day after removal of pancreas. The levels of insulin and glucagon decreased within 30 min and recovered on the 2nd day after removal of pancreas. Rejection curred at the 1st day and reached the worst level on the 9th day after transplantation without the change of insulin and glucagon in blood and clinical symptoms of rejection. Conclusion Pancreatoduodenal transplantation in pigs can treat type Ⅰ diabete. ED and PVD can keep the function of endocrine in normal. The techni- que of duodenal transplantation with ED and PVD may pave the way for the further development of pancreas transplantation in clinic.

Objective To investigate the effect of small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting cytoplasmic domain of tissue factor on apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells. Methods Specific siRNA targeting cytoplasmic domain of tissue factor were designed, and synthetic oligos were inserted into plasmid DNA. The siRNA constructs were transfected into human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVEC) with liposome. The HUVEC were transfected with the constructs encoding siRNA Ⅰ, siRNA Ⅱ and pcDNA~(TM)6.2 GW/-miR plasmid separately. The transfected HUVEC were mixed with CD8~+ T lymphocytes. The apoptotic rate of tranfected HUVEC mixed with lymphocytes was analyzed by flow cytometry. Magnetic beads were used to measure PT of the supematant in the mixed lymphocytes culture. Results The siRNA constructs were confirmed by DNA sequence analysis. The apoptotic rate of HUVEC transfected with siRNA Ⅰ and Ⅱ plasmids was decreased significantly as compared with the empty control group (P<0.01). The apoptosis rate of HUVEC transfected with siRNA Ⅰ plasmid was lower than that of HUVEC transfected with siRNA Ⅱ plasmid (P<0.05). APTT of the culture supernatants in the three transfection groups was lower in the control groups (P <0.05), but there was significant difference among the three transfection groups. Conclusion The siRNA targeting cytoplasmic domain of tissue factor were successfully constructed, siRNA can protect HUVEC, and reduce the apoptotic rate of endothelial cells in mixed lymphocyte reaction without influencing the coagulation function.

Objective To investigate the changes of expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and its coregulators and monocyte chemotactic factor (MCP-1) treated with intedeukin-1β (IL-1β), and to analyze the mechanism of interaction of these factors. Methods Renal tubular cells (HK-2 cells) were cultured in vitro. Total cellular RNA was isolated for real-lime quantitative polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR), nuclear extracts were prepared for Western blot analysis and EMSA. The supernatant was collected for ELISA after the treatment of IL-1β at different concentrations and time points. Results Under stimulus of different concentrations of IL-1β (0~20 μg/L) for 24 hours, the mRNA expression of PPARγ, SRC-1, SRC-2 and PGC-1 decreased significantly (P<0.05), meanwhile NCoR increased obviously (P<0.05). In further time-dependent experiment, the mRNA levels of SRC-2 and PGC-1 decreased by 57% and 48%, respectively, at 1 hour after treatment with 10 μg/L IL-1β (P<0.05). The expression of SRC-1 decreased by 43%only after 2 hours (P<0.05). The expression of NCoR was not obviously changed until stimulated by IL-1β for 8 hours (2.17 folds, P<0.05), then it decreased slowly. In the same time-dependent experiment, Western blot analysis showed that IL-1β (10 μg/L) significantly decreased the protein level of PPARγ at 4 hours (P<0.05). ELISA analysis revealed that the secretion of MCP-1 kept on rising and reached the peak (160.56±2.80) ng/L at 8 hours (P<0.01), then decreased to (50.82±1.25) ng/L at 24 hours (P<0.01). IL-1β could down-regulate the DNA binding activity of PPARγ, and the activity of NF-κB was up-regulated. Conclusions PPARγ and its eoregulators are closely related to MCP-1 and NF-κB during inflammation response in kidney. The activation of NF-κB by IL-1β leads to the decrease of PPARγ, and its coactivators expression levels, however the expression of MCP-1 and NCoR in renal tubular epithelial cells is up-regulated. PPARγ together with its coregulators participate in the inflammation response in kidney.
