It is well known that the macrophages play an important defensive role in the innate immune system. During recent years, with the introduction of the concept of chronic low-grade inflammatory diseases and their further intensive study, the activation and balance of macrophage, as well as its inflammatory effects in chronic lowgrade inflammatory diseases, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, and non-alcoholic fatty liver, are gradually becoming a hot topic of current research. The present article mainly gives an overview of the important role played by macrophages in the inflammatory effects in these diseases.

Objective To investigate the effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields(PEMF)on the bone mineral density(BMD)and serum level of transforming growth factor-beta 1(TGF-?1)in the disuse osteoporosis(DOP)rats.Methods Eighty 4-month-old female SD rats were randomly divided into 4 matched groups according to their weight:control group(INT group),DOP group,calcitonin group(CT group)and PEMF group.Rats in INT group were raised with the average amount of food consumed by the DOP rats.Right hindlimbs of rats in DOP,CT and PEMF groups were immobilized by tibia-tail fixation to establish DOP model as Zarzhevsky described.Rats in CT group were injected with calcitonin(2 IU/kg,i.p,once a day),and rats in group PEMF were irradiated with PEMF(8 Gs,15 Hz,a pulse time of 8 ms)immediately after operation.The rats(5 animals per time of each group)were killed at 1,2,4 and 8 weeks after operation and their right hindlimbs were resected.The BMD and serum TGF-?1 concentration were measured with a dual energy X-ray bone densitometer and ELISA respectively.Results Significant difference was observed in the femur proximal BMD between rats with right hindlimb immobilization(DOP group)and INT group 2 weeks later(P

Objective: To investigate the adhesive characteristics of two kinds of light-curing resin that was used to bond teeth and orthodontics brackets. Methods: A total of 60 premolar teeth were randomly divided into six groups, and brackets were bonded according to the manufacturers' instructions. In group A1, A2 and A3, the teeth were prepared using 100 ml/L polyacrylic acid, and the brackets were bonded using Fuji Ortho LC. In group B1, B2 and B3, the teeth were using self-etching primer, and the brackets were bonded using Transbond Plus Self Etching Primer (TPSEP). After 30 min and 24 h under room temperature and received cold-heat cycle treatment respectively, bond strength was measured using a testing instrument (2000S, Lloyds Instruments, Fareham, England) at a speed of 1 mm/min, and the residual adhesive was quantified using a stereomicroscope. The adhesive interface was observed by scanning electron microscope. Results: The bond shear strength of TPSEP and Ortho Glass LC are more than 5 MPa. The bond shear strength of TPSEP is stronger than that of Ortho Glass LC after 24 h. However,The adhesive remnant index (ARI)of TPSEP is higher than that of Ortho Glass LC. Conclusion: Transbond Plus Self Etching Primer and Ortho Glass LC can satisfy the clinic need of orthodontics.

Objective:To explore the difference in susceptibility to high-fat diet induced obesity in rats,as well as the changes of serum proteins. Method:Forty male SD rats were divided into basic group and high-fat diet group randomly. After 5w feeding DIO(diet-induced obesity)and DIO-R(diet-induced obesity resistance) rats were selected according to their body weight gain. The rats were sacrificed and the changes of serum proteins were screened using WCX2 proteomic chips made by American Ciphergen Biosystems. Results: DIO rats were significantly different from DIO-R rats in body weight,body-fat ratio,blood glucose and blood lipids. At the molecular weight range between 2 to 100 ku,the proteins with molecular weight of 7 945 and 9 513 were significantly expressed differently between DIO and DIO-R rats,and the proteins with molecular weight of 4496, 6152, 6267 were significantly expressed differently between DIO-R and control rats (the rats were fed basic diet). Conclusion:Different susceptibility to DIO or DIO-R was found in SD rats when they were fed high-fat diet. The differentially expressed serum proteins between DIO rats and DIO-R were observed,which might provide the basis for further isolation,purification and identification of these proteins.

Animal models of endometriosis with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptoms, not only provided a useful experimental method for TCM syndrome differentiation of endometriosis, also verified the pathogenesis of TCM of endometriosis, which offered the theoretical support for the clinic. This article discussed the establishment, result examination, existing limit, and solutions of animal models of endometriosis with TCM symptoms.

With the rapid development of general anesthesia technology and the occurrence of new types of inhalation and intravenous anesthetics,safety and comfort requirements of general anesthesia become increas-ingly higher. Therefore,emergence agitation and its adverse consequences gradually receive more and more atten-tion . Thus the etiology and prevention of emergence agitation is an important issue in pediatric anesthesia at pres-ent. In recent years, some achievement has been made in emergence agitation following general anesthesia in children. This article will summarize the related factors,possible mechanisms and prevention strategics of pediat-ric emergence agitation.

Objective To study the effect of 3-n-butylphthalide on expression of MMP-2 ,MMP-9 andβ-APP in rats following chronic cerebral hypoperfusion at molecular level .Methods Seventy-two male Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham operation group ,ischemic group ,and bu-tylphthalide group (24 in each group) .Rats in ischemic group and butylphthalide group were di-vided into postischemic 7 ,14 ,30 ,60 d subgroups (6 in each group) .Expressions of β-APP ,MMP-2 , MMP-9 in each group were detected by Western blot .Results The β-APP expression level was significantly higher in postischemic 14 d ,30 d ,60 d subgroups than in postischemic 7 d subgroup (P<0 .05 ,P<0 .01) ,and in postischemic 30 d ,60 d subgroups than in postischemic 14 d sub-group (P< 0 .01) .The β-APP expression level differed greatly in 30 d and 60 d butylphthalide subgroups (P<0 .01) .The MMP-2 expression level was significantly higher in postischemic 60 d subgroup than in postischemic 30 d subgroup (P<0 .05 ,P<0 .01) .Theβ-APP and MMP-2 ex-pression levels were significantly higher in ischemic group and butylphthalide group than in sham operation group (P<0 .05 ,P<0 .01) ,and significantly lower in butylphthalide group than in is-chemic group (P< 0 .01) .Conclusion MMP-2 and β-APP tend to change similarly and are in-volved in blood brain barrier destruction and amyloid deposition .Butylphthalide intervenes in am-yloid deposition by downregulating the expression of MMP-2 andβ-APP .
