Objective To study the tooth whitening effect of boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) as a photosensitive drug combining photodynamic therapy (PDT) and the influence on the surface of the enamel.Methods After oxidation of hydrogen peroxide or BODIPY by photodynamic therapy,the extracted teeth were evaluated by Vita shade guides matching.The change of surface enamel on the crystals and microstructure was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).Results The teeth treated with BODIPY by PDT were smooth and whitened with the remineralization of teeth surface in morphology.While the teeth treated with hydrogen peroxide were whitened obviously but the surface morphology of the teeth was demineralized seriously.Conclusion The results suggest that PDT is effective for teeth whitening and can promote the remineralization of teeth surface enamel with BODIPY as a photosensitive drug.PDT is expected to become a new method for tooth whitening.

Objective:To explore the genetic polymorphism of cytochrome P450 enzyme 17(CYP17) and its relationship with the pathogenesis ofpolycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).Methods:A total of 260 patients with PCOS of uyhan and han nationality in Xinjiang,who were admitted to Chinese Medicine Research Institute of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from January 2015 to February 2017,were chosen as PCOS group;the other 237 healthy fertile women,who were examined in the outpatient department during the same period,were chosen as control group.The CYP17 gene polymorphism in the two groups of subjects was detected by the restriction fragment length polymorphism polymerase chain reaction (PCR-RFLP) technique;the distribution of alleles and gene frequencies was compared between the two groups;combining with its clinical data,the relationship between CYP17 gene polymorphism and the pathogenesis of PCOS was analyzed.Results:Body Mass Index(BMI) and Follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH) levels in the PCOS group were lower than those in the control group;Luteotropic hormone(LH),Testosterone(TES) and LH/FSH levels in the PCOS group were higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05).The frequencies of A1A1,A1A2,and A2A2 of CYP17 gene in the PCOS group were 34.62％,41.92％,23.46％,respectively,compared with 34.18％,43.88％,21.94％ in the control group,the difference was not statistically significant (P＞0.05).The allele frequency of A1 and A2 in the PCOS group were 55.58％,and 44.42％ respectively,compared with 56.12％ and 43.88％ in the control grouP,the difference was not statistically significant (P＞0.05).There was not statistical significance in FSH,LH and LH/FSH levels of different CYP17 genotypes in the PCOS group (P＞0.05).There was statistical significance in BMI level A2A2＞A1A2＞A1A1 and TES level A2A2＜A1A1＜A1A2 in the PCOS group (all P＜0.05).The BMI,FSH,LH,TES and LH/FSH levels of different CYP17 genotypes in the control group were not statistically significant (P＞0.05).Conclusion:CYP17 gene-34bp T/C nucleotide polymorphisms is a common base replacement in the population,which is not significantly related to the pathogenesis of PCOS.

Objective To evaluate the application of health education in patients with cholecystectomy. Methods From October 2009 to July 2010, 93 patients in our hospital with cholecystectomy were randomly divided into the control group (45 cases) and the observation group(48 cases). The control group was given routine nursing care, the observation group received perioperative health education in addition to the routine nursing care, then compared the nursing effect of two groups. Results In the observation group, the patients' knowledge and awareness rate of their own disease was 95.8%, and the control group was 80.0%, the difference was statistically significant between two groups. The recovery of gastrointestinal function in the observation group was significantly better than the control group, the difference was statistically significant between two groups. Conclusions Health education can enable patients with cholecystectomy correct understanding of their disease, eliminate negative emotions, and help the recovery of gastrointestinal function in patients, which is worthy of attention.

Objective To screen the potent permeation enhancers used in transcutaneous immunization with inactivated highly pathogenic avian influenza vaccine. Methods Five different permeation enhancers, ethanol, propylene glycol, dimethyl sulfoxide, ratinoic acid, oleic acid, were used to treat the skin of BALB/c mice before transcutaneous immunization. Sera were collected before the flist transcutaneous immunization and every two weeks post immunization. The titers of influenza virus-specific humoral IgG and IgA were assayed in serum, lung and nasal lavages by ELISA. The titers of hemagglutination inhibition ( HAI), IFN-γand IL-4 produced by splenic lymphocytes were also detected. Except that, clinical symptom of the skin in different time points and skin pathological changes were observed. Results The serum IgG titers, HAI titers and the influenza virus-specific lgA and IgG in lung and nasal lavages in the groups of HA +CT + DMSO, HA + CT + RA and HA + CT + OA were significantly higher than those of HA and HA + CT groups( P ＜0.05). Moreover, the numbers of splenic lymphocytes producing IFN-γ and IL-4 were increased in the above three groups than those in control groups. In addition, no evident clinical symptoms were observed, but stratum corneum of the skin in different groups showed different changes. Conclusion DMSO,RA and OA are potent permeation enhancers in mouse model inoculated with inactivated high pathogenic avian influenza vaccine transcutaneously.

Objective To detect the expression of T cell immunoglobulin mucin 3 (Tim-3) and its relationship with Th17/Treg cytokine isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and broncho-alveolar lavage fluids (BALF) cells in the asthmatic murine model and to investigate the role of Tim-3 in the occurrence and development of the asthmatic inflammation. Methods The asthmatic murine model was established by the method of ovalbumin (OVA) injection and inhalation. The mice were randomly divided into 2 groups: the normal control and the asthma group. PBMCs and BALF cells in each group were collected. Expression of Tim-3 mRNA was detected by the real-time PCR assay. Levels of CD4+IL-17+ and CD4+CD25+FoxP3+, reflecting expressions of Th17 and Treg respectively , were detected by flow cytometry. The correlationbetween Tim-3 and Th17/Treg level was analyzed. Results Contrast with the normal control group, the expression of Tim-3 mRNA in PBMCs and BALF cells in the asthma group increased significantly (P < 0.01). OVA sensitization and challenges resulted in the increased CD4+IL-17 production and the decreased CD4+CD25+Foxp3+in PBMCs and BALF cells compared with those in the normal control group (both P < 0.05). The ratio of Th17/Treg significantly increased in asthma group (P < 0.05). Tim-3 mRNA expression in PBMCs and BALF cells was positively correlated with CD4+IL-17+ level and Th17/Treg ratio , respectively , and was negatively correlated with CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ level. Conclusions Tim-3 mRNA level in PBMCs and BALF cells in the asthma group was increased , indicating that Tim-3 might take part in the occurrence and development of asthmatic inflammation and has a very close relationship with the Th17/Treg imbalance.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of self-identity on the relationship between interpersonal adaptation and the tendency of mobile phone addiction in college students.Methods:Totally 498 college students (217 males and 281 females) were selected and assessed with the College Student Interpersonal Adaptability Inventory (CSIAI),Mobile Phone Addiction Tendency Scale (MPATS) and Personal Identity Scale(PIS).The bias-corrected percentile bootstrap method was used to analyze the mediating effect of self-identity between interpersonal adaptation and mobile phone addiction tendency in college students.Results:The MPATS scores of male students were significantly lower than female students [(2.6 ± 0.7) vs.(2.7 ± 0.6),P ＜ 0.05].The MPATS scores were negatively correlated with the scores of CSIAI and PIS (r =-0.31,-0.36,Ps ＜ 0.01),the CSIAI scores were positively correlated with the PIS scores (r =0.50,P ＜0.01).Self-identity played a partly mediating role between interpersonal adaptation and mobile phone addiction tendency,which accounted for 43.6％ of the total effect.Conclusion:It shows that the mobile phone addiction tendency may be related to interpersonal adaptation and self-identity,interpersonal adaptation could affect the mobile phone addiction tendency through the self-identity.

Objective To investigate the growth and expression of PDGF of VSMCs in response to stimulation of autologous serum and mechanical injury. Methods An vitro model simulating the condition as possible as that after PTA.PDGF of every medium sample from every group was detected by ELISA,and the values of MTT of every cellular sample was measured by MTT to show the growth and proliferation of every group. Results After stimulation by autologous serum and mechanical injury,SMCs of the experimental group showed the value of MTT increasing,but SMCs in control group reached on 3rd day.At the same time,the expression of PDGF also increased gradually,obtaining peak gradually up to peak on day 4/5 nearly 2.0-fold as much as that of SMCs in the control group. Conclusions After on the 5th day,stimulation with autologous serum and mechanical injury,VSMCs of rabbit showed the stronger ability of growth/proliferation,and autocrine of PDGF also increased gradually,reaching peak on 4-5 d,probobly simulating to those in vivo.

OBJECTIVE:To study the protective effect of Weidean tablets on rats with stress-induced gastric ulceration. METH-ODS:Water immersion restraint stress method and empty stomach were employed to establish rat models with gastric ulceration. 60 SD rats were equally randomized into normal control group(isometric sodium chloride injection),model group(isometric sodium chloride injection),ranitidine group(0.015 g/kg),and groups of high,medium and low doses(1.70,0.87 and 0.43 g/kg)of Wei-dean tablets. General situation of stomach was observed .The gastric mucosal injury index,the NO content in serum,and the activi-ties of SOD and iNOS and the contents of MDA and PGE2 in the gastric tissue were detected for rats. Pathomorphological observa-tion of rats’gastric tissues was conducted under the microscope. RESULTS:Compared with normal control group,the rats in the model group had higher gastric mucosal injury index,lower content of NO in serum,and weaker activity of SOD,stronger activity of iNOS,higher content of MDA and PGE2,in the gastric tissue. There was statistical significance (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Dark matter,severe deformation and necrosis of gastric mucosal cells in rats were noted,as well as multiple large-area superficial ulcers. Compared with the model group,the rats in groups of high,medium and low doses of Weidean tablets had lower gastric mucosal injury index,higher content of NO in serum,and stronger activity of SOD,weaker activity of iNOS,lower content of MDA and higher content of PGE2,in the gastric tissue. There was statistical significance(P<0.01 or P<0.05). General situation of stomach and the pathomorphological condition of rats’gastric tissues were improved. CONCLUSIONS:Weidean tablets has protective ef-fect to some extent on rats with stress-induced gastric ulceration,the mechanism is related to the improvement of serum levels of anti-oxidation index in rats.
