BACKGROUND:Maxilofacial bone and periodontal tissue defect is one of the important diseases that affect human functionality and aesthetic appearance, and bone tissue engineering becomes the main means to repair maxilofacial and periodontal tissue defects. Currently, the basic mode is constructed by the combination of co-culture of seed cels and cels, scaffolds and micro-environment. Pre-vascularization and rapid osteogenesis of tissue-engineered bone can reduce implant necrosis and absorption, and improve repair success rate. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the new progress of bone tissue engineering used in the oral and maxilofacial and periodontal tissue in the past 5 years. METHODS:CNKI database and PubMed database from 2010 to 2015 were searched using the keywords of “oral and maxilofacial, bone tissue engineering, bone regeneration, vascularization, genetic modification, seed cels, support material, microenvironment” in Chinese and English, respectively. After elimination of independent and repetitive studies, 68 articles were included in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The tissue-engineered bone has achieved tremendous progress in the repair of oral and maxilofacial and periodontal tissue defects. The three-dimensional scaffold with gene-modified seed cels can effectively promote the vascularization, improve the osteogenic effect and increased the probability of success in mandibular defect repair. In addition, tissue-engineered bone implantation into the alveolar ridge defects or fresh extraction fossa can effectively restore and preserve alveolar ridge height and width, to ensure a good bone condition for subsequent restorative treatment. After the implantation of tissue-engineered bone, different external environmental stimuli could be loaded at defect sites, and the extracelular matrix components or signal pathway could be adjusted to change the process of vascularization. Vascularization is a premise condition for the establishment of an effective blood circulation to ensure the success of scaffold implantation.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of Chinese herb in preventing recurrence of ulcerative colitis. Methods One hundred and three UC patients were divided into treatment group and control group randomly. The treatment group was treated by Chinese herb and the control group was treated by Sulfasalazine. After treated for three months, fifty three full remission patients were followed-up. CD4+, CD8+ and CD3+ cell count were performed and influence of Chinese herb on recurrence was observed. Results Either the cell count of CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ or the percentage of CD8+ in the peripheral blood was significantly higher in recurrence group than those in the control (P

To explore the anticancer effect of curcumin on human B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and compare its effects on human B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cells and normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells (NPBMNCs). MTT assay was used to study the effect of curcumin on the growth of Raji cells and NPBMNCs. The effect of curcumin on the apoptosis of Raji cells and NPBMNC were studied by flow cytometry and TDT-mediated dUTP nick and labeling (TUNEL). The effect of curcumin on the cell cycle of Raji cells were examined by propidium iodide staining flow cytometry. The results showed that curcumin strongly inhibited proliferation of Raji cells, 24 h IC50 for Raji cells was 22.8 +/- 1.82 micromol/L and curcumin induced Raji cell apoptosis in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Raji cells treated with curcumin showed G0/G1 or G2/M phase increase and S phase decrease. However, curcumin did not demonstrate apparent proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction in NPBMNCs. It was concluded that curcumin is able to inhibit the proliferation of Raji cells by regulating the cell cycle and inducing the cell apoptosis. Morever, curcumin has low toxicity on NPBMNCs but can selectively induce apoptosis in Raji cells.

The anticancer activity of trichostain A (TSA) on human B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and its mechanism were explored. The effect of TSA on the growth of Raji cells and normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells (NPBMNC) was studied by MTT assay. The effect of TSA on the apoptosis of Raji cells and NPBMNC was studied by flow cytometry and TDT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). The effect of TSA on the cell cycle of Raji cells was studied by propidium iodide method. The results showed that TSA potently inhibited proliferation of Raji cells at microgram concentrations and induced apoptosis of Raji cells in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Treatment with TSA induced accumulation of cells in G0/G1 or G2/M and a concomitant decrease of cell population in S phase. However, NPBMNC was less sensitive to the cytotoxic effect of TSA than Raji cells. It was concluded that TSA may inhibit the proliferation of Raji cells by regulating the cell cycle and inducing the cell apoptosis. Moreover, TSA demonstrates low toxicity in NPBMNC but selectively induces apoptosis of Raji cells.

Objective To observe the survival of EAE rats after recombinant adenovirus NgR specific RNA interference(Ad-shRNA-NgR) transfected the brain tissue of the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis(EAE),and provide the basis for EAE intervention.Methods EAE rats were randomly divided into high,medium,low and control groups(20 rats in each group).The lateral ventricle of EAE rats were injected with a titer of 1×1011 pfu/mL,1×1010 pfu/mL and 1×109 pfu/mL Ad-shRNA-NgR.The survival of EAE rats at third and seventh days after injection was observed.Results The survival rate of EAE rats of the high titer group was significantly lower than those of the middle titer group and low titer group at third and seventh days after Ad-shRNA-NgR transfected into EAE brain tissue.There was no significant difference in survival rate in middle titer group,low titer group and control group.Conclusion The titer of Ad-shRNA-NgR is safe in the experiment of EAE rats from 1×1010 pfu/mL to the range of 1×109 pfu/mL.

Objective:To find the reasons for the low dissolution of clarithromycin tablets and study the interference from filter film adsorption at various time points to explore the appropriate processing approach for dissolution solution of clarithromycin tablets. Meth-ods:Clarithromycin tablets from two different manufacturers were used. The dissolution solution was prepared according to Japanese Orange Book. The dissolution was determined after different processing and the adsorption rate of the filter film was calculated. Re-sults:Totally 14 kinds of filter films were tested with different adsorption for clarithromycin, and the adsorption rate of some kinds of filter films exceeded the prescribed limit. Conclusion:The absorption rate of filter films for clarithromycin can be decreased by boiling the films and using American membranes. The interference from filter film adsorption can be reduced and inhibited by rejecting the first filtrate above 5ml or centrifuging dissolution solution.

BACKGROUND: Using the rapid growth period of the chorioallantoic membrane from the 8th day to the 12th day, vascular growth at bone defect end and vascular implantation of a bone graft substitute into the human body can be simulated.OBJECTIVE: To load hydroxyapatite into a chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane model, and to establish an implanted revascularization model.METHODS: Twelve rosette eggs were incubated under the same suitable conditions for 8 days. After windowing, the eggs were randomly divided into two groups: experimental group was implanted with hydroxyapatite material to establish the model of chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane carrying hydroxyapatite; control group was implanted with filter paper material, sealed and placed into a constant temperature and humidity box to continue to hatch. At the 12th day of incubation, length of new vessels and length of new vessels per unit area in the two groups were observed, and the angiogenesis on the hydroxyapatite and filter paper was observed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The mean length of new vessels and length of new vessels per unit area were 24.031 mm and 0.242 mm/mm2 in the experimental group, and 23.561 mm and 0.212 mm/mm2 in the control group, respectively. There were no significant differences between two groups. Additionally, vascular tissues were obviously observed on the hydroxyapatite samples in the experimental group. These experimental results show that the establishment of the model of chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane carrying hydroxyapatite provides a simple and accurate in vitro animal model for studies on ideal bone graft materials and angiogenesis. The hydroxyapatite has no effect on the angiogenesis on the chorioallantoic membrane.

Objective To compare the RIFLE and AKIN diagnosis criteria for acute kidney injury ( AKI) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Methods Patients undergoing cardiac surgery from January 2004 to June 2007 were retrospectively evaluated. RIFLE and AKIN criteria were employed for the diagnosis and staging of AKI which occurred 7 d after cardiac surgery. The diagnosis sensitivity and precision for prediction of hospital mortality were compared between these two criteria. Results One thousand and fifty-six patients were included in this study. There was no significant difference between the prevalence of AKI after cardiac surgery diagnosed by RIFLE criteria and that diagnosed by AKIN criteria (29.55% vs 31.06%, P>0.05). There was no significant difference between the total hospital mortality and the hospital mortality of each stage of AKI diagnosed by RIFLE criteria and those diagnosed by AKIN criteria ( P > 0. 05). Logistic regression analysis suggested that the relative risk of hospital mortality for AKI was similar between patients diagnosed by AKIN criteria and those diagnosed by RIFLE criteria. The area under the ROC curve for hospital mortality was 0. 856 for RIFLE and 0.865 for AKIN in all patients (P<0.001). Conclusion Compared to RIFLE criteria, AKIN criteria do not improve the sensitivity of diagnosis and predictive ability of hospital mortality of AKI after cardiac surgery.
