Objective:To investigate the effects of sodium butyrate,the most important short chain fatty acids,on growth suppression and apoptosis of SHG-44 glioma cell line.Methods:Human glioma SHG-44 cells were treated with 2 mmol/L and 4 mmol/L sodium butyrate.The inhibition of cell growth was assessed by MTT spectropotometric analysis and immunohistochemisty methods.The apoptosis was observed by reverted microscope and transmission electron microscope.And mitochondrial transmembrane potential was detected by rhodamine 123 dyeing,which confirmed that SHG-44 cells suffered a mitochondrial path apoptosis.Results:Sodium butyrate treatment resulted in significant inhibition of cell growth,with proliferating cell nuclear antigen expression weakened.Furthermore,4 mmol/L sodium butyrate could induce the SHG-44 cells apoptosis.It was proved that cellular membrane shrunk,vacuoles existed in plasm,and apoptosis bodies occurred by morphologic observation.In addition,the △?m was decreased in apoptosis cells after 4 mmol/L sodium butyrate treatment.Conclusion:These results indicate,in malignant glioma SHG-44 cells,sodium butyrate could not only suppress cell growth,but also induce apoptosis by a mitochondrial path.

In view of the increased incidences of cardiac arrest outside hospital year by year and younger tendency of the patients,foreign medical education practice showed that school-age children accepting cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skill training will benefit most from this survival skill in the future.This article elaborated on the meaning and methods of promoting CPR training in primary and middle school based on the present situation of CPR in order to promote its further development.

Objective To investigate the effect of sodium butyrate on the growth suppression and cellular differentiation of cultured SHG 44 glioma cell line Methods Human glioma SHG 44 cells were treated with 2 mmol/L sodium butyrate The inhibition of cell growth was assessed by MTT spectrophotometric analysis and AgNORs analysis The cellular differentiation was determined by flow cytometry, electron microscopy, immunohistochemical method and agglutination test Results Treatment of SHG 44 cells with sodium butyrate resulted in significant inhibition of cell growth and G1 S transition in time dependent and dose dependent manners Sodium butyrate could induce differentiation of SHG 44 cells with regularized nuclei and increased heterochromatins The mitochondria and rough endoplasmic reticulum increased in density in normal state Furthermore, SHG 44 cells expressed more GFAP but less vimentin, and the agglutination degree decreased obviously Conclusion Sodium butyrate may suppress glioma cells growth and induce differentiation of human glioma cells

Bilingual education is developing in the our country. Bilingual teaching faculty will directly determine the quality of bilingual education. To understand the needs of bilingual teachers,a survey was executed. Bilingual teaching team was established by teachers of school of public health of Peking University. The team investigated on related teaching faculty based on domestic development needs of bilingual education thus to provide training for bilingual teachers. Based on practice of teach-er training ,this paper aimed to explore the effective methods for improving teacher's quality and bilingual teaching ability from the training methods and contents.

Objective To observe the effect of YiZhikoufuye(YZ) on apoptosis in the different cerebral regions of experimental Alzheimer's disease(AD) rats.Methods The animal model of AD was set up by stereotaxic damage of CA1 area of rat hippocampus using aggressive A?1-40.After operation thirty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into YZ,melatonin and model control groups,10 in each group.The rats were fed with YZ, melatonin and saline,respectively.On the 41th day,the rats were killed.The percentage of apoptotic cells,the changes of mitochondrial membrane potential and the expression level of cytochrome C protein were observed with immunohistochemical methods.Results Compared with control group,YZ could inhibit the apoptotic changes caused by A?(P

Objective To investigate the ultrasonographic manifestations of traumatic neuroma after neck dissection in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in 21 patients with 26 lesions who underwent neck dissection.The ultrasonographic characteristics were reviewed,including numbers,location,size,shape,margin,echogenicity,with or without direct continuity to the nerve fiber,the presence of internal hyperechogenicity and blood supply.Results Among the 26 lesions of 21 patients,25 lesions were in the lateral cervical area while the other one was in the central cervical area.The mean shortest diameter of the lesions was (3.5±1.0)mm and that of longest diameter was (9.1±2.9)mm.Totally 13 lesions were oval in shape and the other 13 were round.The clear margin was found in 13 lesions and fuzzy margin was observed in another 13 lesions.All the lesions were heterogeneously hypoechoic.The presence of internal hyperechoic areas were found in 16 lesions.The direct continuity with the nerve fiber was found in 20 lesions,while the other 6 lesions were not continued to the nerve directly.Color Doppler flow imaging showed that 20 of the 26 lesions existed a little blood flow signal and the other 6 lesions showed no flow signal.During the ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (US-FNAB),21 patients complained about the intolerable serious pain and the pain relieved when the needle removed.Conclusion Traumatic neuromas are hypoecho lesions located in the operation area after neck dissection in PTC with distinctive ultrasonographic features,especially the direct continuity with the nerve fiber,as well as the clinical histories and sharp pain during US-FNAB,which can help to diagnose.

BACKGROUND: Regeneration of type Ⅱ furcation defects of periodontal tissues is still a great clinical challenge. OBJECTIVE: To compare different densities of autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (auto-BMSCs) for repairing canine experimental class Ⅱ furcation defects of periodontal tissues. DESIGN: A randomized controlled trial. SETTING: Laboratory in Stomatological Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University and Department of Animal Experiment in Fuzhou General Hospital. MATERIALS: Experiments were performed at the Laboratory in Stomatological Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University and Department of Animal Experiment in Fuzhou General Hospital of Nanjing Military Area Command of Chinese PLA from July 2005 to September 2006. Six 18-month Beagle dogs were provided by Department of Animal Experiment in Fuzhou General Hospital of Nanjing Military Area Command of Chinese PLA. Animal intervention met animal ethical standards. Bio-Gide collagen membrane and BME-10X collagen membrane were used in the study.METHODS: Class Ⅱ furcation defects were induced surgically on the buccal side of canine mandibular second and third premolar (P2, P3) and first molar (M1). The ex vivo expanded auto-BMSCs from six 18-month Beagle dogs were seeded in BME-10X collagen membranes at cell density of 5×108 L-1，5×109 L-1，5×1010 L-1, and delivered into experimental class Ⅱ furcation defects, underneath a Bio-Gide membrane. Bio-Gide membrane alone was used as a control. The percentage of new cementum length and percentage of new alveolar bone area were measured on OLYPUS IX 71 inverted research microscope and OLYSIA BioAutoCell software in a computer.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Each specimen was stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The lengths of new cementum and the area of new alveolar bone were calculated.RESULTS: The percentage of newly formed cementum length and the percentage of newly formed alveolar bone area were (51.5±5.6)% and (27.1±7.7)% in the control group,（84.8±8.9）% and（30.6±7.7）% in the 5×108 L-1 BMSCs group, (91.8±5.2)% and (68.3±11.4)% in the 5×109 L-1 BMSCs group and (88.8±7.2)% and (78.5±12.7)% in the 5×1010 L-1 BMSCs group. There were significant differences when comparing the BMSCs groups to the control group (P < 0.01), but there was no significant difference in each BMSCs group. There were significant differences in the percentage of newly formed alveolar bone when comparing the 5×109 L-1 and 5×1010 L-1 BMSCs groups to 5×108 L-1 BMSCs group and control group (P < 0.05), but there was no significantly difference between the first two groups, and neither was the later.CONCLUSION:Periodontal regeneration can be induced by BMSCs transplantation. The mechanism of regeneration is associated with inoculated density.
