Objective: To establish a Beagle dog model for the study of the mechanism of implant-bone interface remodeling following the restoration of submerged and nonsubmerged implant denture. Methods: 8 adult purebred beagle dogs were used to build the animal model. Fixed metal full crown was used to carry out submerged and nonsubmerged implant denture in the dogs to mimic the normal chewing status in animal models. Results: The submerged and nonsubmerged implant dentures were made successfully. After the implant denture restoration, all experimental dogs were fed with granular horniness forage to guarantee enough biting stimulation. The chewing fashion of experimental dogs was not changed obviously during the experiment process. Although the horniness forage may result in fairly bigger bite force, no visble biting hurt was found 12 weeks after loading and the fixed implant dentures were all preserved. Conclusion: The beagle dog model can preferably mimic the normal chewing fashion and the models are both availability and credibility.

Objective: To study the implant-bone interface remodelin g after loading of submerged and nonsubmerged implant denture.Methods: 8 adult beagle dogs were used to build the animal model. Submerged and nons ubmerged implants were implanted into the bilateral mandible. Fixed metal full c rown was used to carry out the submerged and nonsubmerged implant denture. The b eagle dogs were sacrificed by steps after loading of the dentures. HE staining t echnique was used to observe the dynamic remodeling process of implant-bone int erface.Results:2 weeks after loading of implant denture, a major ity of the implant surface attached to bone tissue directly, however, at the int erface, especially at the top of the screw thread, bone tissues were absorbed an d substituted by fibrous tissues. 4 weeks after loading, fine attachment was fou nd at the implant-bone interface and the previouly observed fibrous tissue at t he interface was gradually remodeled to form new bone. 8 weeks after loading, i mplant directly attached to bone tissues by osteo-interface, and the cellular c omponents and capillaries were decreased at the interface.12 weeks after loading , all implants attached to bone tissues by osteo-interface with high combinatio n level, typical Havers system was observed at the interface.No obvious differen ce in the interface remodeling was observed between the submerged and nonsubmerg ed implant denture. Conclusion:There is no distinct difference i n the implant-bone interface remodeling after the loading of submerged and nons ubmerged implant denture.

Objective To investigate the respiratory function of platelet mitochondria in patients with Parkinson's disease(PD) and explore the assosiation with the pathogenesis of PD.Methods The platelet mitochondria of 35 patients with PD were extracted and the mitochondria respiratory rate and respiratory control rate were measured.Furthermore,the changes of activities of mitochondria complex Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ were observed.Results The platelet counts of patients with PD showed no changes, but the respiratory rates of respiratory state 3 were significantly decreased using the 5 mmol/L glutamate,2.5 mmol/L malate +5 mmol/L pyruvate and 5 mM succinate as substrates. Moreover, the activities of mitochondria complex Ⅰ were obviously reduced and the activites of other mitochondria complex were no changes.Conclusion Patients with PD show exactly abnormal mitochondria respiratory functions, and it might be an important mechanism in the pathogenesis of PD.

Objective To observe the function changes of right ventricular in chronic obstructive emphysema after lung volume reduction surgery. Methods Twenty-six patients with chronic obstructive emphysema undergoing lung volume reduction surgery were examined by color Doppler echocardiography to determine systolic function and diastolic function of right ventricle in preoperative days and postoperative days of 5～7; 12～14; 1 month and 3 months. Results Contraction of right ventricle: comparing with preoperative parameters, there were significant decrease (P0.05) of those above mentioned in postoperative days 12～14. It recovered at 3 month after operation. Relaxation of right ventricle: the swift filling peak flow-rate in earlier relax period (E) and E flow-rate integra (ETVI) decreased meanwhile swif filling peak flow-rate in late relax period (A) and A flow-rate integra (ATVI) increased in the postoperative days 5～7 (P

Objective To establish a novel glucocorticoid (GC)-resistant human diffuse large B lymphoma(DLBCL) cell line Toledo/dexamethasone (DEX) by the exposure to DEX,and observe the biological characteristics of resistant and parental cell line,investigate the mechanisms of glucocorticoid-resistance.Methods Toledo/DEX was established by the exposure to DEX,the dose of which was increased gradually and intermittently for long periods of time.Toledo,in the logarithmic growth phage,was incubated in the culture medium containing DEX at the concentration of 1×10-8 mol/L at first.The medium without DEX was replaced after for 96 hours until the cell line re-entered the logarithmic growth phase.Repeat the above steps to acquire the ultimate concentration of DEX in the medium as 1.024 ×10-5 mol/L.The biological characteristics of resistant and parental cell lines were evaluated.Results Toledo/DEX was more invasive in the aspects of ultrastructure,tumorigenicity and drug sensitivity.Meanwhile,Toledo/DEX achieved some stable biological characteristics such as morphology,karyotypes and immunophenotype.Furthermore,GC receptor (GR) α and GR β protein expression analysis showed that GR was involved in the mechanism of the GCresistance.Conclusions Toledo/DEX is a drug-resistant cell line with a stable biology backgroud.These results may help shed light on the knowledge of GC-resistance and lay the groundwork for searching new therapeutics to reverse drug-resistance.

Objective Based on our previous established cohort of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), we investigated the potential effect of beta-tubulin (TUBB) gene in the transformation of MDS into acute leukemia Methods From our nested case-control study cohort of MDS patients, we chose 11 paired transformed and nontransformed MDS patients.TUBB gene expression was tested by quantitative real-time PCR.TUBB-siRNA transfection was used to down-regulate TUBB gene expression in SKM-1 cell line.The function of TUBB gene in SKM-1 cell line was evaluated by cell proliferation, soft agar clone formation and electron microscope.Results TUBB gene expression in MDS patients in transformed group were significantly higher than that in control group (2.91 ± 0.41 vs 0.90 ± 0.23, P ＜0.01).After TUBB-siRNA transfection, A450/630nm of SKM-1 cells at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h were 0.299 ± 0.045, 0.526 ± 0.034 and 0.652 ± 0.035, respectively, which were significantly decreased than those in negative-siRNA group (0.438 ±0.074, 0.858 ±0.064 and 0.974 ±0.044) (P ＜0.05).Soft agar clone formation in TUBB-siRNA group was (7.0 ±0.2)％, which was significantly reduced than that of negative-siRNA group (25.0 ± 0.2)％ (P ＜ 0.01).Electron microscope showed significant apoptotic signs in TUBB-siRNA group, including vacuoles in cytoplasm and karyorrhexis.Conclusion Our results indicate that TUBB gene may play a role in the transformation of MDS into acute leukemia by affecting the proliferation of malignant clones.

PurposeTo analyze the sonographic and the histological features of special types of breast malignant tumors in order to explore preoperative ultrasound diagnosis. Materials and Methods Seven cases of special types of breast malignant tumors confirmed by pathology were retrospectively investigated by ultrasound. The sonographic and histological features of the lesions were reviewed. The ultrasonogram manifestations of the breast anatomy and the lesions were observed and recorded.Results Among 7 cases, there were 2 cases of papillary carcinoma, 3 cases of mucinous carcinoma, and 2 cases of lymphoma. Microscopically, the papillary carcinoma had clear boundaries with infringing mesenchyme, and the tissues were papillary and dense. The mucinous carcinoma had cancer cells floated in mucus lake. The primary breast lymphoma was diffused large B-cell type with focal lesion. For sonography type of breast, there were 3 cases of fatty types, 1 case of fibroglandular-1 and 3 cases of fibroglandular-2. The papillary carcinoma was hypoechoic in 2 cases, one of them was expansive growth with large size. Two cases of mucinous carcinoma were hypoechoic without accompanying sound attenuation in 1 case and with accompanying acoustic shadow due to calcification in the other case. Lymphoma was apparent anechoic and cystoid.Conclusion Special types of breast malignancies have different sonographic features and histological features from the common invasive ductal carcinoma. It has high clinical significance to enhance the understanding of rare malignant breast tumors.

Objective To analyze the correlations between pediatric intersive cave unit (PICU) nurses′job satisfaction and their perception of job characteristics. Method One hundred and thirty-six PICU nurses from a women and children′s hospital of Guangzhou participated in the study and the job diagnostic survey (JDS) and Minnesota satisfaction questionnaire short-form (MSQ20) were used to investigate the relationship between the job characteristics and job satisfaction. Results The average score on general satisfaction was (3.57 ± 0.41). The dimensions like skill variety, task integrity, feedback from job and feedback from others, had a significant positive impact on general satisfaction (all P<0.05). Conclusion Nurses generally have a relatively middle level of job satisfaction and measures should be taken to improve their job satisfaction as well as the quality of nursing.

0 05).Among them,WT but neither DN, Blank, nor Pio significantly ameliorated the increased concentrations of TGF-a1 and fibro nectin in culture medium induced by HG. Compared with DN and Blank, WT transfect ion significantly attenuated high glucose-caused elevation in c-fos, c-jun and p-ERK expression, reduction in Ⅰ-?B level, and incretio n in nucleus/cytosol ratio of NF-?B, while Pio demonstrated similarly signific ant changes only in p-ERK and NF-?B. No significant difference of GLUT-1 mRN A level was detected between HG groups. Conclusions Overexpressed PPAR?1 can su ppress increased ECM production from glomerular mesangial cells cultured in HG c ondition. Its inhibitory effects on activation of ERK/AP-1 and NF-?B pathways are involved. The further increase of PPAR?activity may have direct anti-fibr otic effect in diabetic kidney.
