Objective To study the anti-inflammatory effects of idazoxan (IDA) on endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenged mice in vivo and activated macrophages in vitro,and explore its potential molecular mechanisms.Methods To do the experiments in vivo,30 adult male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group,model group,and low,medium and high doses IDA groups (IDA-L,IDA-M,and IDA-H groups),n =6 in each group.The inflammatory model was reproduced by intraperitoneal injection of LPS 10 mg/kg,and the control group was injected with the same amount of normal saline.The IDA groups received LPS (10 mg/kg) and IDA 0.3,1.0 and 3.0 mg/kg,respectively.The blood samples of mice in each group were collected at 6 hours after the reproduction of the model.For the in vitro experiments,primary peritoneal macrophages were collected from 20 adult male C57BL/6 mouse cells and they were divided into control group,LPS group (10 mg/L) and LPS+IDA-L,IDA-M,IDA-H groups (10 mg/L LPS + 5,25,100 μmol/L IDA,respectively).Cell culture supernatants were collected at 24 hours after the reproduction of the model.Detection methods:enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine the levels of serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),interleukin-6 (IL-6),monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) and nitric oxide (NO).Western Blot was used to determine the effect of IDA on the expression levels of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in macrophages.Results ① For the in vivo experiment,the serum levels of TNF-α and IL-6 were significantly elevated in the model group as compared with those in the control group [TNF-o (ng/L):403.96 ± 40.98 vs.17.50 ± 8.68;IL-6 (ng/L):61 400.31 ± 7 826.61 vs.2 436.30 ± 448.89;both P < 0.01].IDA treatment could inhibit the elevation of inflammatory cytokines in a dose-dependent manner,with the most significant decrease in LPS+IDA-H group [TNF-α (ng/L):170.09 ± 28.53 vs.403.96 ± 40.98,IL-6 (ng/L):16 570.81 ± 1 083.65 vs.61 400.31± 7 826.61;both P < 0.01].② For the in vitro experiment,the levels of TNF-α,IL-6,MCP-1,and NO secreted by LPS-stimulated macrophages were distinctly higher in the LPS group than those in the control group [TNF-α (ng/L):7 259.14 ± 320.70 vs.28.50±27.08,IL-6 (ng/L):14809.60±5852.73 vs.1 113.47±465.53,MCP-1 (ng/L):20847.37± 1 788.33 vs.447.37± 395.69,NO (μmol/L):1 900.00 ± 144.31 vs.603.03 ± 102.18;all P < 0.01].However,IDA intervention could lower the secretion of TNF-α,IL-6,MCP-1 and NO in a dose-dependent manner,with the most notable decrease in the LPS+IDA-H group [TNF-α (ng/L):784.40±281.90 vs.7259.14±320.70,IL-6 (ng/L):1 802.96± 1 534.18 vs.14 809.60± 5 852.73,MCP-1 (ng/L):2005.26± 1 534.28 vs.20847.37 ± 1 788.33,NO (μ mol/L):654.54± 150.21 vs.1 900.00 ± 144.31;all P < 0.05].In addition,IDA at the concentration of 100 μmol/L could promote the translocation of NF-κBp65 in macrophages into the nucleus 15 minutes early and lead to increased NF-κBp65 expression (gray value:18.70 ± 2.29 vs.1.09 ± 0.36,P < 0.05),hut significantly reduce the expression levels of NF-κBp50 in the nucleus at 45 minutes after treatment (gray value:1.99 ± 0.14 vs.2.94 ± 0.54,P < 0.05).Conclusions IDA could significantly reduce inflammation of mice challenged with LPS and inhibit inflammatory cytokines and mediators secreted by macrophage in a dose-dependent manner.High concentration of IDA (100 μmol/L) exhibited the greatest anti-inflammatory effects.The anti-inflammatory effect of IDA may be worked through NF-κB signaling pathway.

A novel flow injection chemiluminescent enhancement method for the determination of tannic acid based on luminol-KIO4-Mn2+ system is developed. The method is simple, rapid and effective to determine tannic acid in the range of 3.0×10-8~5.0×10-6 mol/L with a detection limit of 9×10-9 mol/L. The relative standard deviation is 1.5% for the determination of 1.0×10-6 mol/L tannic acid (n=11). The mehtod has been applied to determine the content of tannic acid in Chinese gall with satisfactory results.

Objective To observe the effect of ultra-low frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation on cerebral blood flow in children with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy. Methods 36 cases of spastic diplegia cerebral palsy were divided into control group (n=21) and obsevation group (n=15), 19 healthy children were as normal group. The control group received conventional rehabilitation training. The obsevation group received the ultra-low frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation in addition. All the children received the check of transcranial color Doppler (TCD). Results Several arterials flow velocity was lower, several arterials pulsatility index and resistance index were higher in the obsevation group than in the normal group before treatment (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the arterial flow of obsevation group improved, pulsatility index and resistance index decreased in some degrees in the obsevation group after treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion The cerebral blood flow is of low velocity and high resistance in spastic diplegia children, while ultra-low frequency magnetic stimulation could improve the condition of cerebral flow.

BACKGROUND:Molars are characterized by multi-root, multi-root canal, multi-directional, different geometric shape and distribution. Single-root canal teeth post-core theory was used to guide molar repair in the clinic. It is easy to cause root canal perforation or vertical fracture due to excessive post preparation. Therefore, it is necessary to make further study and investigation in the design of fiber post-resin core for repairing molars. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical therapeutic effects of fiber post-resin core with different numbers of posts in the repair of molar residual roots and crowns. METHODS: A total of 54 human molar residual roots and crowns with sound root canal filing in 48 patients were selected and restored with fiber post of different numbers and resin core as wel as complete coronal restoration. There were 17 cases (20 samples) restored with single fiber post core, 16 cases (18 samples) restored with double fiber post cores, and 15 cases (16 samples) restored with three fiber post cores. They were folowed up for 24 months and the repair results were compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After 24 months of folow-up, the success rates were 85%, 94% and 94% in the single fiber post, double fiber post and three fiber post groups, respectively, and no significant difference was detected among the three groups. Five failures were observed among 54 teeth: three cases of fiber post shedding in the single fiber post group, one case of fiber post shedding in the double fiber post group, and one case of fiberpost shedding in the three fiber post group, and no root fracture occurred. Three kinds of fiber post-resin cores for repairing molar residual roots and crowns can get a better short-term clinical result. The repair effects were not different because of the different numbers of fiber posts.
