16 standered acrylic resin blocks with silicone resilient denture liner(10 mm ×8 mm ×3 mm)incorporated with nano-silver par-ticles at 5% (m/m,by dry wet)in-between were prepared.8 blocks were immersed in distilled water for 24 h at 37 ℃ as the controls (group 1).Another 8 were thermocycled for 4 000 cycles(group 2).16 acrylic resin bars were thermal cycled for 4 000 cycles.Then they were processed exactly as the control group (group 3).Tensile bond strength of the specimens was measured by a universal testing machine. The bond strength values(MPa)of group 1,2 and 3 were 2.683 ±0.435,2.179 ±0.633 and 1.460 ±0.566 respectively(group 1 vs 2,P>0.05;group 3 vs 1 or 2,P<0.05).The failure mode of the blocks in group 1 and 2 was mainly cohesive failure,in group 3 adhesion fail-ure.

The method of acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training in the treatment of shoulder hand syndrome after stroke is reliablet, quick, with simple operation and less adverse reactions. Among them, characteristic acupuncture could focus on the targeted points with obvious effect than ordinary acupuncture, and the combination with rehabilitation training could greatly improve the curative effect. However, there still exist some problems in the current research, such as the difficulty of conducting blind clinical trials of acupuncture therapy; the lack of follow-up data in the evaluation of curative effect, the uncertainty of long-term curative effect; the small sample size of clinical research, etc., so multi-centered and large sample RCT research are still needed.

Objective To observe the repairing effect of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) and goserelin on chemotherapy-induced ovarian injury, and the distribution and growth of hUC-MSCs transplanted in rat chemotherapy-induced ovarian injury. Methods A total of 120 SD rats were randomized into group A-E:A normal group, B NS control group, C goserelin group, D hUC-MSCs group and E hUC-MSCs+goserelin group. The rat premature ovarian failure (POF) model was established by given a loading dose of cyclophosphamide (CTX, 50 mg/kg) followed by daily intraperitoneal injection of CTX (8 mg/kg) for consecutive 14-day. The hUC-MSCs were injected through caudal vein, and goserelin was given by subcutaneous injection 4 days before POF model established. The serum level of estrogen was detected and numbers of follicles were counted. After GFP was transfected by lentivirus, the distribution and growth of stem cells transplanted in rats were observed by animal in vivo imaging system. Results At day 46, the serum level of estrogen showed no significant difference between group A and group E (P > 0.05). There were no significant differences in the counted follicles between group A and group E (P>0.05). After tail vein injection of the transfected cells, GFP positive cells were found in injury ovarian. Conclusion There is a repairing effect of hUC-MSCs and goserelin on ovarian injury.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of thermocycling on nano-silver-incorporated silicone denture liner for Candida albicans (CA)adhesion.Methods:Specimens(1 0 mm ×1 0 mm ×3 mm)of silicone denture liner(control)and that incorporated with nano-sil-ver were prepared according to the manufacturer's direction.8 of the each kind of specimens were immersed in distilled water for 24 h at 37 ℃,and 8 were subjected to thermocycling for 4 000 cycles at temperatures ranging from (5 ±1 )℃to (55 ±1 )℃with a 60 s dwell time per temperature.In vitro CA adhesion assay was used to measure the levels of adherence to the specimens.Data were analysed sta-tistically.Results:Thermocycling increased CA adhesion to control specimens(P<0.05),and did no change the adhesion to nano-sil-ver incorporated specimens(P>0.05 ).The adhesion of CA to nano-silver incorporated specimens was fewer than that to the controls with or wihout themocycling(P<0.01 ).Conclusion:Nano-silver incorporation may inhibit CA adhesion to silicone denture liner.Ther-mal cycling has no influence on C.albicans adhesion to silicone denture liner incorporated nano-sliver.

Structural modifications were performed with natural product of oleanolic acid to search for novel anticancer drugs. Ten oleanolic acid derivatives were designed and obtained by the reaction of oxidation, acylation or hydrolyzation, etc. The cytotoxic activity of derivatives was evaluated against HeLa, HepG2 and BGC-823 cells in vitro by MTT assay, gefitinib and etoposide used as a positive control. The results showed that compound 5a was particularly active to inhibit HepG2 cells growth, and anti-tumor activity of compound 7 on HeLa cells was significantly stronger than oleanolic acid. They are worthy to be studied further.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy, advantages and shortcomings of micro-percutaneous nephrolithotomy in treatment of uncomplicated ureteral calculi.Methods Clinical data were collected from 126 patients with a failure treatment of history by ESWL (extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy) and RIRS (retrograde intrarenal surgery) in treatment of upper ureteral calculi (< 3.0 cm) from June 2015 to May 2016. Antegrade percutaneous access was obtained by B-type ultrasound guidance. Micro-PCNL was done using YAG laser fiber or pneumatic through the ureteroscope (F4.5~F6.5、F6.0~F7.5, 315 mm) to disintegrate the stones. The calculi clearance rate, operation time, operative hemorrhage, length of hospital stay and complications of the patients were analyzed after operation.ResultsThe calculi clearance rate was 88.9%, the operation time was 15~75 min, the operative hemorrhage was 15~35 ml, the length of hospital stay was 5~10 d. Only one patient need the second stage surgery because of intraoperative hemorrhage affected the surgical ifeld. No patients occurred massive hemorrhage, pneumothorax, bowel and other complications such as organ damage.Conclusion Micro-PCNL had a good clinical curative effect and security in treatment of uncomplicated ureteral calculi, which was worthy of promoting clinically.

Objective:To prepare nanobody-based immunotoxin BI7D12-PE38KDEL targeting EGFR and to examine its cytotoxicity against EGFR positive tumor cells.Methods:By using molecular cloning strategy,prokaryotic expression construct of pET28a-BI7D12-PE38KDEL was generated which consisted of nanobody 7D12 targeting EGFR in the form of a divalent fused with PE38KDEL,a truncated form of pseudomonas exotoxin A via a flexible peptide(G4S)4,and then transformed into E.coli BL21(DE3).Protein expression was induced by adding IPTG,purified by Ni-affinity column chromatography,and verified by Western blot.The binding capacity of the resulted immunotoxin to EGFR-positive cells A549,HT29,MCF-7 and EGFR-negative cells CEM,Jurkat were determined by flow cytometry assay,and its cytotoxicity against the target cells was examined.Briefly,tumor cells were treated with different dosage of the immunotoxin,and the killing efficacy of BI7D12-PE38KDEL on these cells were assessed by WST-1 assay after 72 hours.Results:The SDS-PAGE and Western blot results showed the recombinant immunotoxin BI7D12-PE38KDEL was successfully prepared,and majority of them was expressed in soluble form.BI7D12-PE38KDEL could selectively bind to EGFR-positive cells of A549,HT29,and MCF-7.More importantly,the immunotoxin exhibited much more significant killing effect on these EGFR positive cells compared to the negative control group of CEM and Jurkat cells(P<0.01).Conclusion:In the current study,the nanobody-based immunotoxin BI7D12-PE38KDEL targeting EGFR was successfully prepared and exhibited a superior inhibition effect for the growth of EGFR-positive cells.

Objective To investigate the changes and related factors of maternal thyroid autoantibodies during early pregnancy. Methods Urinary iodine concentration( UIC) , serum thyroid stimulating hormone( TSH) , free thyroxine ( FT4 ) , thyroid-peroxidase antibody ( TPOAb ) , thyroglobulin antibody ( TgAb ) concentrations were determined in 7 190 women during early pregnancy in an iodine-sufficient region of China. Results The prevalence of TPOAb positivity and TgAb positivity were 8. 7% and 12. 0% respectively. The prevalence of overt hypothyroidism and subclinical hypothyroidism increased significantly in group of thyroid antibody positivity. The prevalence of TPOAb positivity and TgAb positivity presented a U-shaped curve, ranging from mild iodine deficiency to iodine excess, especially increased significantly in the group with UIC<100 μg/L. Conclusion Prevalence of thyroid antibodies positivity became higher during early pregnancy. The positive thyroid autoantibodies during pregnancy were significantly associated with maternal hypothyroidism. Both iodine excess and iodine deficiency are risk factors of positive thyroid antibodies.
