Objective:Because of the lower proliferation ability of periodontal ligament cells of elderly people,how to choose suitable scaffold materials for them becomes very important.The aim of this study was to observe the morphological manifestation of the periodontal ligament cells of elderly people seeded onto the three-dimensional porous nano-hydroxylapatite scaffolds.Methods: Periodontal ligament cells from elderly people were seeded onto the three-dimensional porous nano-hydroxylapatite scaffolds,cultured for 15 days in vitro,and observed for the morphological changes by scanning electron microscopy in comparison with those of young people.Results:Fifteen days after seeded on the three-dimensional porous nano-hydroxylapatite scaffolds,the periodontal ligament cells of the elderly people exhibited sufficient adhesive behavior,proliferated well and produced tiny calcium nodules,but the number of the nodules was smaller than that in the young people.Conclusion: The periodontal ligament cells of elderly people grow well on three-dimensional porous nano-hydroxylapatite scaffolds,and can be considered as a suitable scaffold for periodontal tissue engineering in elderly people.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of using marrow stromal cells (MSC) as seed cells and three-dimensional porous nano-hydroxylapatite as scaffolds for constructing tissue-engineered bone.Methods:MSC from rat were cultured and induced to differentiate into osteoblasts in vitro. And then these induced cells were identified and seeded onto three-dimensional porous nano-hydroxylapatite scaffolds, cultured for 15 days in vitro. Scanning electron microscopy was used to evaluate the growth of these induced cells on three-dimensional porous nano-hydroxylapatite scaffolds. Results: The activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and the secretion of osteocalcin of MSC from rat appeared and were increased gradually along the culture. The cells seeded on three-dimensional porous nano-hydroxylapatite scaffolds could adhere and proliferate well, and come into being many tiny calcium nodules and collagenous fibers. Conclusion:The data demonstrated that the new developed culture method is conducive to MSC’s differentiating and proliferating into osteoblasts that have a fine activity and the three-dimensional porous nano-hydroxylapatite may be considered as a suitable scaffold for the seeded cells. Using marrow stromal cells as seed cells and three-dimensional porous nano-hydroxylapatite as scaffolds is advantageous for constructing tissue-engineered bone.

AIM To investigate the possible role of the mitochondrial transmembrane potential (??m) and caspase 3 in arsenic trioxide(As 2O 3)-induced apoptosis of cancer cells. METHOD Namalwa, SGC7901 and Bcap37 cell lines were used as in vitro models. Apoptosis was confirmed by sub-G 1 cells content as well as phosphatidylserine(PS) externalization. The ??m was detected on flow cytometry through double staining of Rhodamine 123(Rh123) and popidium iodide(PI). In addition, the effect of DEVD-CHO, a selective inhibitor of Caspase 3, on As 2O 3-induced apoptosis was studied. RESULT The As 2O 3-induced apoptosis closely associated with the externalization of the ??m and the activation of Caspase 3. As 2O 3 induced cells necrosis when Caspase 3 was inhibited. CONCLUSION As 2O 3 may selectively activates Caspase 3 after it induces externalization of ??m, which causes cancer cells apoptosis.

Immunoenhancement activity of bee pollen and its acetone extract was studied in normal, sarcoma-180 bearing, cyclophosphamide- and antilymphocyte serum-treated mice.Bee pollen and its acetone extract given orally for 30 days could significantly increase the production of serum anti-SRBC hemolysin (HC50) and the number of spleen plaque forming cells (PFC) in primary response to sheep red blood cell (SRBC) in young and adult mice. The acetone extract of bee pollen could significantly prevent the decrease of HC50) the number of PFC and specific rosette forming cells (SRFC), and the quantitative hemolysin of spleen cells (QHS) against SRBC in S-180 bearing, cyclophosphamide- and antilymphocyte serum-treated mice respectively.These results suggested that bee pollen of Brassica campestris L. and its acetone extract have immune-enhancement activity.

The left ventricular apical systolic dysfunction syndrome was a rare acute cardiac syndrome.Its clinical presentation and electrocardiography were similar to acute myocardial infarction.The syndrome was characterized by transient ventricular wall-motion abnormalities involving the left ventricular apex and mid-ventricle in the absence of obstructive epicardial coronary disease.Cardiac enzyme was normal or minor elevation.At present,the cause of the syndrome is unknown.In this paper,we describe a 56-year-old female patient.She was admitted in hospital for acute appendititis and the transient left ventricular apical ballooning syndrome.She developed acute heart failure and septic shock in the hospital.The drainage of the appendiceal abscess was done and the heart failure and septic shock recovered completely in a few days.

AIM:To explore and compare effect of coaxial micro-incision phacoemulsification and standard coaxial phacoemulsification in the treatment of cataract.
METHODS:A total of 88 patients(88 eyes) with senile cataract who underwent selective cataract ultrasonic emulsification resorption combined with intraocular lens implantation in the hospital from Aug. 2013 and Aug. 2015 were selected, they were divided randomly into the control group ( 44 cases, 38 cases completed, 6 cases dropped out ) and the observation group ( 44 cases, 40 cases completed, 4 cases dropped out ) . The control group received standard coaxial 3. 0mm small incision phacoemulsification, the observation group received coaxial 1. 8mm micro-incision phacoemulsification. All patients were combined with intraocular lens implantation. Intraoperative effective ultrasonic time, cumulative release energy, best corrected visual acuity before and after surgery in the two groups were recorded, corneal endothelium cell population, incision corneal thickness, percentage of cornea hexagon cell, corneal astigmatism changes before the operation, 1d, 7d, 30d after the operation were compared.
RESULTS: There was no significant difference in intraoperative effective ultrasonic time, cumulative release energy in the two groups(P>0. 05). There was no significant difference in postoperative best corrected visual acuity between the two groups(P>0. 05). Corneal endothelium cell population, percentage of cornea hexagon cell 1d, 7d, 30d after the operation in the two groups were significantly decreased compared with those before the treatment ( P < 0. 05 ), but there was no significant difference in the two groups ( P > 0. 05 ). Incision corneal thickness 30d after the operation in the observation group was significantly lower than the control group(P<0. 05). Degree of corneal astigmatism in the observation group 1d, 7d, and 30d after the operation were significantly lower than the control group (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: Coaxial micro - incision phacoemulsification and standard coaxial phacoemulsification can improve visual acuity of cataract patients, but the former can reduce degree of corneal astigmatism.
