Objective To investigate the effect of isochlorogenic acid B(ICAB)on CCl4-induced acute liver injury(ALI)in mice. Methods The animal model of CCl4-induced ALI in mice was established and then the protective effect of ICAB was evaluated using this model. Serum levels of alanine transaminase(ALT)and aspartate aminotransferase(AST),hepatic levels of malondialdehyde (MDA)and the activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD)and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)were measured by spectrophotometric methods. Liver cell morphology was observed by hematoxylin and eosin staining method and the effects of ICAB on the protein expres-sion of nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2(Nrf2),heme oxygenase-1(HO-1)and quinone oxidoreductase 1(NQO1)in mice he-patocyte were determined by Western blot method. Results ICAB(5,10 and 20 mg/kg)significantly protected against CCl4-induced liver injury by reducing the elevated levels of serum aminotransferases and hepatic MDA and remarkably restored the impaired antioxi-dants. Meanwhile,the histopathological changes were also attenuated in mice. In addition,ICAB could induce the protein expression of Nrf2 and promote its nuclear translocation,and further increase the protein expression of HO-1 and NQO1. Conclusion ICAB has protective effect against CCl4-induced ALI in mice,which is mainly due to its ability to promote the nuclear translocation of Nrf2 and decrease the oxidative stress.

BACKGROUND:To optimize the oral implant design in the abutment angle has an important effect on bone resorption, and meanwhile, the high bite force from patients is also crucial to rebuild bone absorption.
OBJECTIVE:To optimize the model design of the maxilary anterior teeth using Ansys Workbench 13.0 software and to investigate the stress size on the cortical and cancelous bone from different angled abutments and different loads of the central incisor.
METHODS:A three-dimensional finite element model of the V-shaped cylindrical threaded implants in the maxilary bone. Abutment angle was set as 0°, 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, and the load stress was set as 90, 105, 120, 135, 150, 165, 180, 195, 210 N. Occlusion of the central incisor was simulated on the implants, and then, buccolingual mechanical loads were loaded on the center of prostheses to observe the effects of different abutment angles and loads on the Von Mises peak stress of the maxila and mandible.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Under the influence of a single factor, when the abutment angles acted as variables, the Von Mises peak stress of the cortical and cancelous bone was respectively increased by 60.60% and 69.30% under labial or palatal loads; when the loading stress acted as variables, the Von Mises peak stress of the cortical and cancelous bone was increased by 68.74% and 69.30% under buccolingual loads. When the loading stress was less than 150 N and the abutment angle was less than 25°, the slop of tangent for the mandible Von Mises stress response curve was-1 to 0. It seems from the mechanical analysis that the stress of cancelous bone is more susceptible to abutment angle and load stress; the optimal abutment of screwed implant should be designed to an angle less than 25° and an bite force less than 150 N.

The effects of electrical and chemical stimulation of the vertral medial area of nucleus facialis (vMNF) on the myoelectric activities of genioglossus were observed in 26 urethane-anaesthetized and vagotomized rabbits. The results are as follows: (1) Long train electrical stimulation at the vMNF inhibitited the myoelectric activities of genioglossus markedly. (2) Microinjection of glutamate into the vMNF caused inhibitory response of the myoelectric activities of genioglossus. (3) When single pulse electrical stimulation on vMNF, measurement latency of genioglossus myoelectric activities was (20.6±0.4)ms. These results suggested that the excitation of vMNF could decrease the myoelectric activities of genioglossus so that the resistance of upper airway might be enhanced.

Neoplastic stem cells (NSCs)are the source of tumor occurrence and development,and its special microenvironment is involved in tumor drug resistance,recurrence and metastasis by regulating NSCs or changing itself. Eradicating NSCs and interfering the special microenvironment may be the new therapeutic strategies for cancer.

Objective To analyze the clinical characters,therapeutic effect of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST),the effects of surgical approach and imatinib adjuvant therapy on it.Methods From January 2004 to April 2010,the clinical data of 214 patients with primary GIST were retrospectively analyzed.The effects of surgical approach and imatinib on the survival of the GIST patients were compared.Count data were analyzed by chi-square test,and the survival rates were analyzed with the life table method and Kaplan-Meier curve.Results A total of 214 GIST patients'survival rates of 1-year,3-year,5-year were 93.0％,87.0％ and 80.0％.According to the risk classification of National Institutes of Health,the differences of overall survival rates after surgery were statistically significant (x2 =22.058,P＜0.05).The differences of survival rate among different nuclear division number were statistically significant (x2=26.599,P＜0.05).The survival rate of pathological nuclear division number over 10/50 high power field (HPF) was the lowest.The overall survival rate of patients with gastrointestinal GIST was higher than patients with extragastrointestinal GIST,and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =68.139,P ＜ 0.05).After complete resection of the tumor,the survival rate of patients with local recurrence was higher than those with widely recurrence,and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =4.409,P＜ 0.05).After complete resection of the tumor,the survival rate of patients taking imatinib was higher than that of patients not taking imatinib.Conclusions The surgical treatment was the main therapy for GIST.Complete resection of the tumor and taking imatinib after surgery could improve the prognosis and the survival rate of the GIST patients.

Objective To investigate the differences of the plasma homocysteine (Hcy) between the patients with acute cerebral infarction and the normal controls, and the relationship between the levels of plasma Hcy and folic acid, vitamin B_(12) and lipids, and the relationship between clinical symptoms in patients with acute cerebral infarction. Methods A total of 91 patients with first-ever acute cerebral infarction and 100 controls without cerebrovascular accident were included. Their ratio factors such as age, sex, hypertension and diabetes did not have significant differences. Enzymatic cycling was used to detect plasma Hcy levels. Chemiluminescence was use to detect folic acid and vitamin B_(12) levels. Biochemical analyzer was used to measure lipid levels. The patients with acute cerebral infarction were evaluated by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Results The plasma Hcy level was significant higher in the acute cerebral infarction group than that in the control group (21.22 ±7.29 μmol/L vs. 13.19 ± 2.13 μmol/L) (P ＜ 0.05); the plasma Hcy level in the acute cerebral infarction group was significantly negatively correlated with folic acid (r = - 0.307,P ＜0.05) and vitamin B_(12) (r = - 0.270, P ＜0.05). It was significantly positively correlated with low-density lipoprotein (r =0.282, P ＜0.05), and it was significantly negatively correlated with high-density lipoprotein (r = -0.219, P ＜0.05). The mean value of the plasma Hcy in acute cerebral infarction group increased with the increase of NIHSS scores. Conclusions Hyperhomocysteinemia is an independent risk factor for acute cerebral infarction. The levels of folic acid and vitamin B_(12) decreased with the increase of Hcy levels. The higher the Hcy levels,the more serious the clinical symptoms are. Hcy may increase the risk of ischemic cerebrovascular disease by influencing the lipid metabolism.
