ObjectiveTo investigate the role of caspase 3 in HMME-induced apoptosis in hypertrophic scar fibroblasts (HSFs).MethodsFibroblasts were obtained from 10 patients with untreated hypertrophic scar,and subjected to a primary culture.After 4 to 6 passages of culture,the HSFs were divided into 3 groups to remain untreated(control group),be treated with HMME followed by photodynamic therapy (HMME-PDT group),or the combination of HMME and Z-DEVD-FMK followed by photodynamic therapy (caspase 3 inhibitor group).At 12 hours after the therapy,HSFs were collected and immunofluorescence microscopy was used to observe the fluorescence intensity of caspase 3 after staining with fluorescein isocyanate (FITC) and popodium iodide (PI),flow cytometry was performed to determine the percentage of caspase 3-positive HSFs and apoptosis rate in HSFs after single staining with FITC and PI respectively.Results The fluorescence intensity of caspase 3 was weak in the control group and caspase 3 inhibitor group,but was strong in the HMME-PDT group.An increased percentage of caspase 3-positive HSFs was noted in the HMMEPDT group compared with the control group and caspase 3 inhibitor group(30.86％ ± 1.21％ vs.3.12％ ±0.28％ and 2.46％ ± 0.18％,t =19.92,21.76,both P ＜ 0.05).The apoptosis rate in HSFs was significantly higher in the HMME-PDT group and caspase 3 inhibitor group than in the control group(30.54％ ± 3.78％ and 10.46％ ± 2.15％ vs.2.45％ ± 0.22％,t =35.90,27.97,both P＜ 0.05),and higher in the HMME-PDT group than in the caspase 3 inhibitor group.ConclusionsThe apoptosis in HSFs induced by HMME-PDT is closely related to the activation of caspase 3,while caspase 3 seems to be dispensable for the apoptosis.

Surgical treatment of pelvic fracture-associated urethral injury(PFUI) continues to be a difficult problem to be solved in urology.Children with an immature prostate and puboprostatic ligament may suffer from posterior urethral disruptions in a manner different from adults.Considering these distinctions,the management of pediatric PFUI presents a challenge for urologist as no consensus or algorithm has been proposed or accepted.Now,through analyzing the pathogenesis,presentation,diagnosis and treatment of PFUI,give the principle of the management.The choice of immediate repair or delayed repair should be decided according to the particular situation.Immediate Ⅰ stage anastomosis of urethra for PFUI is recommended when the patient's condition is stable,serious complications are treated,and the surgeon is experienced.If the patient's condition is unstable or no experienced urologist is available,a suprapubic catheter should be placed for bladder decompression and try to get a good condition for delayed urethroplasty.

Objective To compare the disinfection efficacy of different disinfectants on dental unit waterlines (DUWLs). Methods 18 sets of DUWLs were randomly divided into 4 groups,and disinfected or treated with hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 )disinfectant,sodium hypochlorite (NaClO)disinfectant,hydrogen peroxide silver ion disinfectant(Sanosil),and distilled water (DW)respectively.Water specimens from triple syringes and high-speed handpieces were taken,bacterial count before and after disinfection were compared.Results Before disinfection,no significant differences in bacterial counts were found among four groups (all P >0.05),bacterial counts of DUWLs of all groups severely exceeded the standard(all>3 000 CFU/mL).After disinfection,except DW group,bacterial counts of DUWLs of the other groups declined dramat-ically (all <100 CFU/mL),bacterial count after disinfection were all obviously lower than before disinfection (all P <0.001 ).One week after disinfection,bacterial counts among three disinfectant groups in different time periods were statisti-cally different (triple syringes:Day1—Day5,all P <0.05;high-speed handpieces:Day2,Day3 and Day5,all P <0.05). Day3 after disinfection of triple syringes by H2 O2 and NaClO,Day4 after disinfection of high-speed handpieces by H2 O2 and NaClO,and Day5 of triple syringes and high-speed handpieces by Sanosil all exceeded the standard of Center for Disease Control and Prevention of America.One week after disinfection,bacterial counts of three disinfection groups all exceeded or approximated to that before disinfection.Conclusion Three types of disinfectants can all effectively reduce bacterial load in DUWLs.Compared with other disinfectants,Sanosil has advantage of inhibiting bacterial growth after disinfection.

Objective To observe whether immature Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (proBDNF)can affect the activities of OPCs in the fields of cell proliferation and migration after SCI,and to investigate the relationship between proBDNF and p75NTR signal pathway on OPCs.Methods OLN-93 cell line was cultured and maintained for in vitro experiments.Immunofluorescence were used to check the expression of endogenous proBDNF,p75NTR and sortilin on OPCs.MTT assay was used to illustrate the inhibitory effect of proBDNF.The effects of anti-proBDNF was also observed by BrdU staining to find a probably signal pathway for proBDNF on OPCs.The Sprague-Dawley rats were administered for T9 spinal cord injury animal model.BBB score was applied to observe the situation of functional recovery after treated by anti-proBDNF.BrdU staining was managed to observe the situation of OPCs proliferation and migration after SCI.Results Endogenous proBDNF inhibited proliferation and migration of OPCs after SCI.BrdU staining showed that population of proliferative OPCs in lesion site of spinal cord was less in proBDNF in treated group than that in control group and anti-proBDNF group.While anti-proBDNF could inhibit proBDNF specifically and might induced a better functional recovery which was illustrated by BBB scores.The in vitro experiments found the inhibitory effect of proBDNF is dose-dependent and can be neutralized by anti-proBDNF properly.Moreover,the expression levels of p75NTR and sortilin are down regulated by proBDNF antibody treated group.This indicated that proBDNF may inhibit OPCs via p75NTR pathway.Conclusion Endogenous proBDNF can inhibit cell proliferation of OPCs after SCI and can be neutralized by specific antibodies of proBDNF.This kind of detrimental effect may be induced by p75NTR-sortilin pathway.Furthermore,proBDNF antibody treatment is effective to block proBDNF and promote the functional recovery.

Objective To investigate the dynamic expressions of interleukin-22(IL-22),Interleukin-22 receptor 1(IL-22R1),and hepatic stellate cells(HSC)senescence in mice with Schistosoma japonicum infection. Methods A murine model of S. japonicum infection was established and the serum samples and liver tissues were collected 4,6,8,12 weeks post-infection. The serum samples were detected for the levels of alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and aspartate aminotransferase(AST). The pathological changes and proliferation of hepatic collagen fibers in the liver tissue were observed after HE staining and Masson staining. The HSC senescence in fibrotic livers was determined by the detection of senescence-associatedβ-galactosidase(SA-β-Gal). Sandwich ELISA was used to measure the expressions of IL-22,and Real-time PCR was used to test the mRNA levels of IL-22 and IL-22R1. The control group without S. japonicum infection was set up. Results The serum levels of ALT and AST signifi-cantly increased 8 weeks and 12 weeks after the infection(vs. 0 week,all P<0.05). The level of IL-22 increased 4 weeks and 6 weeks after the infection(vs. 0 week,both P<0.05),but reduced 8 weeks post-infection,and was even lower 12 weeks post-in-fection(vs. 4 weeks and 6 weeks,both P<0.01). Being consistent with the dynamic expression of IL-22 protein,the mRNA ex-pression of IL-22 began to increase 4 weeks and reached the peak 6 weeks after the infection(vs. 0 week,both P<0.05),and continuously declined 8 weeks and 12 weeks post-infections(vs. 6 weeks,both P<0.05). The increase of the expression of IL-22R1 mRNA was correlated with the progression of fibrosis,and the peak was in 12 weeks post-infections(vs. 0 week and 6 weeks,both P<0.05). The number of senescence-associated beta-galactosidase-positive HSCs was reduced with the decreasing expression of IL-22 in the advanced liver fibrosis. Conclusion IL-22 and IL-22R1 are involved in the pathogenesis of schistoso-miasis liver fibrosis. As an inflammation factor,IL-22 significantly increases in the early stage of fibrosis. The expression of IL-22 decreases in the late stage of fibrosis,which may contribute to HSC senescence and restrict liver fibrosis.

Objective To observe the phosphorylation of Smad3 in hyperplastic scar fibroblasts (HSFs) induced by hematoporphyrin monomerthyl ether (HMME) followed by photodynamic therapy (PDT).Methods Fibroblasts were isolated from the hypertrophic scar tissues of 10 patients and subjected to culture in vitro.After 3-5 passages,the HSFs were divided into 4 groups:control group receiving no treatment,PDT group pretreated with HMME of 4 μg/ml followed by PDT,HMME group induced by HMME alone,and laser group irradiated with laser alone.Fluorescence microscopy was used to observe the expression of Smad3 after immunofluorescent staining with anti-Smad3 antibody,and Western blot to detect the expression of Smad3 and phosphorylated Smad3 in these HSFs.Paired t test was conducted to compare the difference in Smad3 and phosphorylated Smad3 expression between these groups.Results The total fluorescence intensity of Smad3 was similar between these groups,but the intranuclear fluorescence signal was significantly weaker in the PDT group than in the control group.The level of phosphorylated Smad3 was statistically decreased in the PDT group compared with the control group (0.20 ± 0.02 vs.0.92 ± 0.15,P ＜ 0.05),but no significant difference was observed between the HMME group and laser group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion PDT may inhibit the proliferation of HSFs via attenuating the phosphorylation of Smad3.
