2.Research in thyroid carcinoma related factors
Journal of International Oncology 2016;43(9):695-698
Recent studies have revealed that obease increases the risk of differentated thyroid carcino-ma (DTC);iodine increases the risk of papillary thyroid carcinoma wheras decreases the risk of follicular thy-roid carcinoma;vitamin D decreases the risk of DTC,but there are not enough evidences to prove that vitamin A,C and E can decrease the risk of DTC;alcohol may decrease the risk of DTC,but the mechanism is still un-known;xenobiotics increases the risk of DTC.It is essential for DTC prevention to clarify the protection and risk factors.
3.Effects of mineral trioxide aggregate on proliferation and differentiation of dental pulp stem cells from young permanent teeth in vitro
Chinese Journal of Medical Aesthetics and Cosmetology 2015;21(2):103-106
Objective To investigate the effects of the different concentration of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) on the proliferation and differentiation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) from the young permanent teeth.Methods DPSCs were isolated from the young permanent teeth and cultured by tissue explant method.The expression of STRO-1 was detected by using immunofluorescence technology.DPSCs were cultured with different concentrations of MTA (0.02,0.20,2.00,20.00 g/L).Cell proliferation was detected by MTT array.Cells were cultured in the appropriate concentration of MTA for 4 weeks,and then stained by Alizarin red to detect their mineralized nodule formation capacity.The cells were cultured with the appropriate concentration of MTA and collected after 12,24,36,48 h.The mRNA expression of ALP,BSP,OC and DSP after the treatment of MTA were detected by quantitative PCR.Results DPSCs were positive for STRO-1.The capacity of 0.20 g/L MTA promoting the proliferation of DPSCs was stronger than other concentrations.After 4 weeks,the mineralized nodules of DPSCs were observed after alizarin red staining.The PCR showed that with increasing induction time,the expression levels of DSP and OC were up-regulated.But that of ALP and BSP was increased first and then decreased.Conclusions In this study,MTA can promote the proliferation of DPSCs at 0.02,0.20,2.00 g/L concentration.It can induce odontoblast differentiation effectively by 0.20 g/L MTA.
