Objective Patients with Alzheimer dementia often display poor sleep. Given that the disease is often associated with low endogenous levels of melatonin, exogenous melatonin administration may lead to improvements in sleep. Methods Randomized, placebo controlled study was carried out in 41 patients with probable Alzheimer disease. Melatonin (8. 5 mg immediate release and 1. 5 mg sustained release) (n =24) or placebo (n = 17) administered at 22:00 P. M. for 10 consecutive nights. The protocol sleep was measured continuously using actigraphy. Results There were no significant effects of melatonin,compared with placebo,on sleep and circadian rhythms. Conclusion This study failed to find a beneficial effect of exogenous melatonin.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics of tuberculosis in oral and maxillofacial region,and to provide reference in early diagnosis and early treatment. Methods The clinical data of 132 patients were analyzed retrospectively. ResultsIn all cases, male to female ratio of 1∶1.69, the average age of 38.7 years, the group of 15 ~40year-old had higher incidence. Al1 parts of oral and maxillofacial region could be involved. In all 132 cases,107 cases were treated by surgery and drugs,25 cases by drugs only. Conclusion The local sign of tuberculosis in oral and maxillofacial region was atypical ,so it was likely to misdiagnosis. Definitive diagnosis relied on pathological examination. Operations played an important role in the cases of unifocal lymph nodes tuberculosis,oral mucosal tuberculosis, multifocal concentrated lymph nodes tuberculosis and salivary tuberculosis, while the therapy of multifocal sporadic lymph nodes tuberculosis and osseous tuberculosis should be relied on the medicine.

Objective To explore the effects and molecular mechanisms of suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) on ovarian carcinoma. Methods (1)Two groups of ovarian carcinoma cell lines (SKOV3 and SKOV3/DDP, HO8910 and HO8910-PM) were exposed to SAHA (1, 3, 5 and 7μmol/L SAHA,group 1-group 4). CCK-8 method was employed to eval-uate the inhibitory effects of SAHA.(2)Ovarian cancer cell lines treated with SAHA (2 or 5μmol/L SAHA) were used as 1 and 2 groups. Flow cytometry was performed following staining with Annexin V-FITC and PI for cell cycle and apoptosis.(3) Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot assay were used to assess the mRNA and pro-tein expression levels of phenotypic correlation factor. Results (1)After 48 h of SAHA treatment,the OD value of SKOV3, SKOV3/DDP,and HO8910 showed a trend of gradually reduce (P<0.05).(2)The apoptotic rates were significantly higher in SAHA 1 and SAHA 2 groups than those of control group (P<0.05). Compared with control group, after 48 h of SAHA treat-ment,S phase and G2/M phase of SKOV3 and SKOV3/DDP cells increased;G0/G1 phase of HO8910 and HO8910-PM cells increased in SAHA 1 and 2 groups (P<0.05).(3)The expression levels of CyclinB1 and Cdc2 (p34) mRNA were significant-ly lower in SAHA 1 and 2 groups than those of control group,while the expression levels of Caspase-3,p21 and p53 mRNA expression were significantly higher in SAHA 1 and 2 groups than those of control group. Furthermore,the expression of Ac-Histone H3,Ac-Histone H4,p53 protein were markedly improved,and CyclinB1,Cdc2(p34) protein decreased in SAHA 1-4 groups. Conclusion SAHA may suppress cell growth, induce apoptosis and cause cycle arrest in ovarian carcinoma cells by promoting histone acetylation or modulating their phenotype-related proteins of Caspase-3, p53, CyclinB1 and Cdc2(p34).
