Objective To screen and identify the anomously expressed proteins at protein level in colon mucosa of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome(D-IBS)patients and healthy individuals.Methods Four D-IBS patients and four healthy individuals were included in the study.Biopsies of mucosa at the ileocecal junction and sigmoid colon were performed via colonoscopy.The specimens were cleaned with ice cold saline which contained 0.1% PMSF,and were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen.The two-dimensional gel electrophoresis(2-DE)was used to screen the anomously expressed proteins,and the two proteins which presented the greatest changes in each group were identified by mass spectrometry method.Results Proteomics maps of human colon mucosa were obtained successfully with 2-DE.Average protein spots were 336 in normal control group,and the matching rate among them was 92%,while in D-IBS group,the average protein spots were 426,and the matching rate was 95%.The average matching rate between the test group and the control group was 74%.It was found that the volume value of 24 proteins spots changed more than two folds.The protein expression was found to decrease in 3 spots and increase in 21 spots.Four proteins were chosen for analysis with mass spectrometry analysis.The two up-regulated proteins were identified as Immunoglobulin J chain and heat shock protein 27,while the other two down-regulated proteins were identified as hemoglobin beta subunit and fructose-bisphosphate aldolase A.Conclusion With 2-DE,proteomics maps of human colon mucosa have been obtained successfully.The proteome expressions of colon mucosa in D-IBS patients are remarkably different from that of the healthy individuals.The four identified proteins may play a certain role in the pathogenesis of D-IBS.

Objective To compare the diagnostic value of CT and NE for lesions of nasal cavity and paranasal sinus area.Methods 80 cases of nasal and paranasal sinus diseases which were examined by both CT and NE at same period and proved by pathology.were reviewed.Results Compare with results of pathology,the accucy rate of both CT and NE was identical in diagnosing sinusitis and tumours of paranasal sinus,NE was higher than CT in nasal and paranasal sinus polyp and nasal cavity tumour,turbinate hyperplasia CT was higher than NE in paranasal sinus cyst and anatomic variations.Conclusion Pathologic biopsy can be taken under NE guide to understand the shape,texture and colour of the illness focus CT can show the size,shape and anatomy relation between lesion and its neighbor tissue.The diagnosis may more perfectly through NE combined with CT.

Objective To evaluate the effects of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) on spasticity of wrist and hand post stroke. Methods 36 patients accepted BTX-A injection were assessed with modified Ashworth scale (MAS), Upper Extremities Functional Test (UEFT), limbs position at rest, Visual Analogous Scale (VAS) for pain, modified Barthel Index (MBI), and difficulties encountered during 3 upper limb motor tasks: cleaning the affected palm, cutting the affected fingernails, putting the affected arm into the sleeve, before and 2, 4, and 12 weeks after treatment. Results The scores of MAS, VAS, UEFT and accomplishment of those tasks improved after treatment (P<0.05), from 1 week to 12 weeks. No significant improvement was observed in MBI (P>0.05). Conclusion Local BTX-A injection can reduce the spasticity and pain, and improve function of upper limbs for stroke patients.

OBJECTIVEThis study aims to determine the effect of fluoride concentration on the corrosion behavior of cobalt-chromium alloy fabricated by two different technology processes in a simulated oral environment.

METHODSA total of 15 specimens were employed with selective laser melting (SLM) and another 15 for traditional casting (Cast) in cobalt-chromium alloy powders and blocks with the same material composition. The corrosion behavior of the specimens was studied by potentiodynamic polarization test under different oral environments with varying solubilities of fluorine (0, 0.05%, and 0.20% for each) in acid artificial saliva (pH = 5.0). The specimens were soaked in fluorine for 24 h, and the surface microstructure was observed under a field emission scanning electron microscope after immersing the specimens in the test solution at constant temperature.

RESULTSThe corrosion potential (Ecorr) value of the cobalt-chromium alloy cast decreased with increasing fluoride concentration in acidic artificial saliva. The Ecorr, Icorr, and Rp values of the cobalt-chromium alloy fabricated by two different technology processes changed significantly when the fluoride concentration was 0.20% (P < 0.05). The Ecorr, Icorr, and Rp values of the cobalt-chromium alloy fabricated by two different technology processes exhibited a statistically significant difference. The Icorr value of the cobalt-chromium alloy cast was higher than that in the SLM group cobalt-chromium alloy when the fluoride concentration was 0.20% (P < 0.05). The Ecorr, tRp alues of the cobalt-chromium alloy cast were lower htan those of the SLM group cobalt-chromium alloy when the fluoride concentration was 0.20% (P< 0 .05).

CONCLUSIONFluoride ions adversely affected the corrosion resistance of the cobalt-chromium alloy fabricated by two different technology processes. The corrosion resistance of the cobalt-chromium alloy cast was worse than that of the SLM group cobalt-chromium alloy when the fluoride concentration was 0.20%.

BACKGROUND:Autologous bone marrow aspirate concentrate is often applied in patients from Department of Orthopedics and those with severe limb ischemia, but rarely applied in Department of Oral and Maxil ofacial Surgery, especial y in Department of Oral Implantology. The effect of autologous bone marrow aspirate concentrate on promoting peri-implant bone regeneration deserves further studies.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of bone marrow aspirate concentrate in the repair of peri-implant bone defect.
METHODS:Bone marrow 5 mL was extracted from posterior superior iliac spine of experimental dogs and bone marrow cel s were counted before and after concentration. Bone defect (4 mm × 4 mm × 4 mm) was prepared in the middle of bilateral mandibular premolar, which was randomly implanted with gelatin sponge plus bone marrow aspirate concentrate, autologous bone and gelatin sponge. At 4 and 12 weeks after surgery, bone defect specimens were histological y observed. The new bone formation rate and new bone mineral density were calculated.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After centrifugation, the concentrations of nucleated cel s in bone marrow aspirate concentrate were increased by (2.78±0.22) times. More colony-forming units were found after cel culture. Histological analysis showed that, significantly higher new bone formation rate and new bone mineral density occurred in gelatin sponge plus bone marrow aspirate concentrate group, compared with autologous bone group and gelatin sponge group at 4 weeks (P<0.05). The new bone formation rate in gelatin sponge plus bone marrow aspirate concentrate group was significantly lower than that of autologous bone group, and higher than that of gelatin sponge group at 12 weeks (P<0.05). However, the difference of new bone mineral density in the three groups was not significant (P>0.05). Autologous bone marrow aspirate concentrate can significantly improve new bone mineral density and quantity in the pre-implant bone defect.

Objective:To probe the method of isolating outer hair cells (OHC) from each of four turns of the guinea-pig cochlea. Method:From eight guinea pigs the organ of Corti from each of four turns of the cochlea were dissected, and then treated using enzyme. Result:A fair amount of living OHCs from each of four turns were obtained. The length of OHCs from each of four turns were 23.81,34.50,60.48 and 71.37 μm. Conclusion:The key to success in isolating OHCs from each of four turns of the cochlea is to know very well the anatomical characteristics of each of four turns of the cochlea and be operated in accordance with normal rules.
