BACKGROUND:Tissue patch is used to increase bone mass after mandibular molar extraction, which is conducive to late-stage repair, but it is unexpectedly found that after implantation of tissue patch, incidence of dry socket is significantly reduced.OBJECTIVE:To assess the efficacy of tissue patch for the control of dry socket caused by mandibular molar extractionvia the method of systematic review. METHODS:MEDLINE (OVID), CENTRAL, EMBASE and CBM were searched for clinical randomized controled trials and clinical controled trials. The keywords were “dry socket, tissue patch, acelular dermis matrix, tooth extraction” in English and Chinese. The references of the included studies and 19 Chinese dental journals were hand-searched. Two reviewers independently assessed the risk of bias using Cochrane Colaboration’s tool, and extracted data. Meta-analysis was delivered with Revman 5.1.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Eight studies, including five randomized controled trials and three clinical controled trials, were included. Totaly 2 052 participants were involved. Seven of the included studies had moderate risk of bias and one had high risk of bias. Meta analysis showed that implantation of the tissue patch into the extraction socket could reduce 86% of the risk of dry socket (relative risk=0.14, 95% confidence interval [0.08, 0.26], P < 0.000 01). Sensitivity analysis showed that this outcome was relatively stable. Implantation of tissue patch into extraction socket could significantly reduce the risk of dry socket, but more randomized controled trials are needed.

Objective To evaluate the perinatal outcome of three types of monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twins with selective intrauterine growth restriction (sIUGR).Methods From January 2005 to June 2012,clinical data of 42 pairs of MCDA twins (84 fetuses) with sIUGR and 71 pairs of normal MCDA twins (142 fetuses) in the same period were analyzed retrospectively in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University.Fetuses with sIUGR were classified into three groups based on umbilical artery Doppler flow.There were 25 cases of type Ⅰ,11 cases of type Ⅱ and 6 cases of type Ⅲ.The perinatal outcome was compared between sIUGR and normal MCDA twins,and among the three types of sIUGR as well.Perinatal outcomes included gestational age at delivery,rate of intrauterine fetal death (IUFD),birth weight,intertwin discordance of birth weight,neonatal death and survival rate at 6 months.Results (1) The gestational age of sIUGR at delivery was significantly earlier than the control group [(34 ± 3),(36 ±2) weeks,respectively],and the rate of IUFD of both fetuses of sIUGR was significantly higher (4.8％,0,respectively).In the sIUGR group,the average birth weight of large or small twins[(2130 ±.350),(1520 ±400) g,respectively] was smaller than those in the control group [(2470 ± 500),(2340 ± 460) g,respectively].The difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05,P ＜ 0.01,respectively).The intertwin discordance of birth weight in sIUGR group was significantly larger (27.6％) than the control group(4.0％,P＜0.01).(2) The gestational age at delivery in type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ [(34 ±5),(34 ±2) weeks,respectively] was significantly earlier than the control group (P ＜ 0.05).The rate of IUFD of both fetuses in type Ⅱ (18％) was significantly higher than in type Ⅰ (0) and the control group (0,P ＜ 0.05).In sIUGR group,the average birth weight of small twins in type Ⅰ,type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ was (1640 ±430),(1330 ±310) and (1500 ±380) g respectively,all of which were significantly smaller than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).The average birth weight of small twins in type Ⅱ was smaller than in type Ⅰ and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).In sIUGR group,the intertwin discordance of birth weight in type Ⅰ,type Ⅱ and type Ⅱ was 24.1％,34.6％,31.3％ respectively,all of which were significantly larger than that in the control group(4.0％,P ＜ 0.05).There were no statistically significant differences of the intertwin discordance of birth weight among the three types of sIUGR(P ＞0.05).Survival rate at 6 months in type Ⅱ (64％) was significantly lower than in type Ⅰ (92％) and the control group (91.5％,P＜0.01).Conclusions The perinatal outcome of MCDA twins with sIUGR is poor.The outcome is different among the three types of sIUGR,and type Ⅰ is the worst.Type Ⅱ is associated with a high risk of intrauterine fetal demise.It is important to monitor the intrauterine situation closely.

OBJECTIVETo study the effects of suppressor of variegation 3-9 homolog 1 (SUV39H1) gene silencing by small interfering RNA (siRNA) on the proliferation, tumor suppressor gene p15 expression and histone modification in acute myeloid leukemia cell line KG-1 cells, and to explore novel therapeutic target of leukemia.

METHODSThe SUV39H1 gene specific siRNA was synthesized in vitro and transfected into KG-1 cells by Lipofectamine(TM) 2000. The SUV39H1 mRNA and protein were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. Cell growth affected by SUV39H1 siRNA was determined by MTS. The expressions of tumor suppressor gene p15, histone methylation of H3K9 and histone acetylation of H3, H3K9, H3K14, H3K27 and H4 were detected by Western blot.

RESULTSSUV39H1 mRNA was markedly suppressed by the SUV39H1 specific siRNA in a concentration-dependent manner. SUV39H1 siRNA inhibited the proliferation of KG-1 cells. Proliferation inhibition rate was (23.57 ± 1.98)%, (48.69 ± 1.84)%, (62.69 ± 1.61)% and (81.06 ± 3.22)% after transfected with SUV39H1 siRNA at 30, 60, 120 and 240 nmol/L for 48 hours, respectively. SUV39H1 siRNA down-regulated histone tri-methylated-H3K9 by 25%, 33% and 49% compared to control group when treated with SUV39H1 siRNA at 30, 60 and 120 nmol/L for 48 hours, while up-regulated histone acetylated H3K9 by 1.83, 2.16 and 3.07 folds, and global histone H3 in 1.35, 1.87 and 2.37 folds, but no changes were observed in histone acetylation of H3K14, H3K27 and H4. Expression of p15 increased 1.52, 2.89 and 3.08 folds after SUV39H1 siRNA treatment.

CONCLUSIONSSUV39H1 gene silencing could induce the re-expression of p15 and inhibit cell proliferation by down-regulation of histone methylation of H3K9, up-regulation of histone acetylation of H3K9 and global H3. SUV39H1 might be a new target for cancer therapy.

This study is to investigate the effect of downregulation histone deacetylases 1 (HDAC1) gene by the technology of RNA interference on the differentiation of HL-60 cells line. The optimal segment targeting HDAC1 gene was designed and transfected into HL-60 cells by Lipofectamine 2000. The HDAC1 mRNA and protein level were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting. The morphologic change of HL-60 cells was detected by an optical microscope with Wright-Giemsa. Cell differentiation was tested by NBT reduction assay. Expression of CD13, CD33 and CD14 was measured by flow cytometry. The results indicated that HDAC1 mRNA and protein were markedly suppressed by the siRNA targeting HDAC1 in a concentration-dependent manner. HDAC1 siRNA promoted cell differentiation. HL-60 cells became more mature in morphology after transfected to HDAC1 siRNA at a concentration of 30-60 nmol x L(-1) for 24 h. NBT reduction ability of HDAC1 siRNA with 30 nmol x L(-1) was 0.31 +/- 0.09, compared with negative control (0.20 +/- 0.02) (t = -3.1, P < 0.01), and with 60 nmol x L(-1) was 0.25 +/- 0.02 in comparison with negative control (0.21 +/- 0.04) (t = -2.12, P < 0.05). But it has no change in HDAC1 siRNA > or = 120 nmol x L(-1). After transfection with 60 nmol x L(-1) HDAC1 siRNA to HL-60 cells, the expression of CD13 was (96.50 +/- 0.70)% in compared to siRNA-NC (3.39 +/- 0.68) % (t = 164.9, P < 0.000 5), CD33 was (66.73 +/- 0.50) % in compared to siRNA-NC (96.80 +/- 1.70) % (t = 43.4, P < 0.000 5). CD14 was (0.53 +/- 0.00) % by comparison with siRNA-NC (0.49 +/- 0.02) % (t = -0.97, P > 0.1). HDAC1 siRNA promoted cell differentiation in indicated concentration. HDAC1 might be one of the targets of gene therapy for leukemia.

To access the role of the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) in the gustatory activity in the pontine parabrachial nucleus (PBN), the responses to four prototypical taste stimuli (NaCl, HCl, QH2SO4 and sucrose) in the PBN were observed before and after bilateral electrolytic lesion of the CeA in the urethane-anesthetized rat. Of 29 neurons, 14 were classified as NaCl-best, 9 as HCl-best, 3 as QH2SO4-best and 3 sucrose-best. After CeA lesions, the response rates to HCl and QH2SO4 were statistically higher across all PBN neurons (P<0.01). According to the best-stimulus category, the effects on the responses to HCl and QH2SO4 were similarly subjected to these modulations in NaCl-best, HCl-best and QH2SO4-best neurons. Correlation analysis indicated that the CeA lesion depressed the effect on the chemical selection between NaCl and QH2SO4. These findings suggest that the CeA plays an important role in the taste coding at the pontine level and it may be involved in mediating the feeding behavior via modulating the gustatory responses.

In order to explore the clinical hypolipidemic features of Daidai flavone extract, the pharmacokinetics features of characteristic active ingredients of Daidai flavone extract in normal and hyperlipemia rats were studied and compared. The study established the quantitative determination method of naringin and neohesperidin in plasma by UPLC-MS. Study compared the pharmacokinetics differences of naringin and noehesperidin in normal and hyperlipemia rats on the basis of establishment of hyperlipemia model. Results indicated that the pharmacokinetics features of characteristic active ingredients of Daidai flavone extract in normal and hyperlipemia rats showed significant differences. The C(max) of naringin and neohesperidin in hyperlipemia rats plasma after oral administration of Daidai flavone extract increased obviously, while t1/2, MRT and AUC0-24 h decreased, compared to normal rats. But t(max) showed no differences to that of normal rats. The results further proved Daidai flavone extract would have better hypolipidemic effect in the hyperlipemia pathological status. And the characteristic active ingredients naringin and noehesperidin were the material base of Daidai flavone extract to express the hypolipidemic effect.
