Objective To investigate the the multi-directional differentiation potential between pluripotent of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) and human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLCs). Methods HPDLCs and HGFs were obtained from the primary culture. HPDLCs and HGFs at 3rd-4th passage were cultured in osteogenic, adipogenic or chondrogenic me-dium. Cells without differentiation were taken as control. Alizarin red, Alcian blue and oil red O staining were performed to detect osteogenic differentiation, chondrogenic and adipogenic differentiation in vitro, respectively. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was applied to examine the expression of osteocalcin (OCN), runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) and collagen 1 (Col 1), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma 2 (PPARγ2) and collagen 10 (Col 10). Results HPDLCs and HGFs cultured in osteogenic medium showed massive calicium nodulus at day 28, but HP-DLCs formed more calicium nodulus than those of HGFs. The expressions of OCN, RUNX2 and Col 1 were significantly high-er in HPDLCs than those in HGFs (P<0.05). In chondrogenic medium both cells were found blue deposit at day 14, and the expression of Col 10 was significantly higher in HGFs than that of HPDLCs (P<0.01). Furthermore, in adipogenic medium HGFs showed more lipid-filled droplets stained with oil red O than HPDLCs at day 21. The expression of PPARγ2 was sig-nificantly higher in HGFs than that of HPDLCs (P<0.01). Conclusion HPDLCs has the better potency of osteogenic differ-etiation than HGFs, however, HGFs has the better potency of adipogenic and chondrogenic differentiation.

Patent documentation is a kind of high-value scientific literature. In this paper, the World Traditional Medicine Patent Database (WTMPD) was used to retrieve patents of the traditional medicines used in the treatment and prevention of alcoholic worldwide in the past 30 years. A total of 3 238 patents were further screened by a se-ries of processes. Finally, multi-angle analysis was carried on the dataset to form a patent analysis report on tradi-tional medicines used in alcoholism, including the distribution of the patents, the application trend, the domestic and foreign geographical layout, the major applicant and so on. From the analysis, we found that China had a rapid in-crease in the number of patent applications, which was in the leading role in the world, though the technology and the number of PCT applicant from China is relatively low. Puerariae Lobate radix and flos are frequently used in al-coholism patents.

Objective: To construct an evaluation index system of oral health literacy for children's parents, so as to provide an index system for the evaluation of oral health literacy for children's parents in China. Methods: The evaluation index system of oral health literacy for children's parents was designed based on literature review and semi-structured interview. Experts from oral prevention and pediatric oral medicine were invited to participate in two-round Delphi consultations. The indicators were scored and screened according to the importance, and the weight determined using analytic hierarchy process. The effectiveness of the consultation was evaluated by positive coefficient, authority coefficient and coordination coefficient. Results: Twenty-four experts participated in the consultation, including 6 males and 18 females. There were 21 experts with a master degree, 3 experts with a doctor degree, and 20 experts with vice senior professional titles and above. The recovery rates of the two rounds of consultations were 96.00% and 100.00%, the authority coefficients were 0.866 and 0.917, the Kendall's coefficient of concordance were 0.120 and 0.156 (both P<0.05), and the coefficient of variation was 0.15-0.38 and 0.03-0.17, respectively. The final evaluation index system included 3 primary indicators, 11 secondary indicators and 40 tertiary indicators. The primary indicators were basic knowledge and concepts related to oral health, promoting lifestyle and behaviors related to oral health, and maintaining basic skills related to oral health. Conclusion The evaluation index system of oral health literacy for children's parents has been established in this study and needs to be further applied and evaluated.

Objective To investigate the effect of songling xuemaikang(SL-xmk)pretreatment on the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9)after focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats.Methods A total of 45 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated into SL-xmk pretreatment,sham operation,and normal saline control group.Preventive gavage was per-formed for 8 weeks in rats using SL-xmk(937.50 mg/kg)suspension in the SLxmk pretreatment group(n = 15);the preventive gavage was performed in rats using the equal volume of normal saline in the sham operation(n = 15)and normal saline control(n = 15)groups.At the end of the pretreatment process,a model of middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)in rats was induced by suture method for 2 hours and reperfusion for 24 hours.The effects of SL-xmk pretreatment on the neurologic deficit scores after transient MCAO,brain water content,and infarct volume in rats were observed.Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the MMP-9 immunoreactive positive cells in ischemic brain tissue.Results The neurologjc deficit scores(1.21 ± 0.25 vs.2.37 ± 0.35,P = 0.000),the brain water content (76.24% ± 7.09% vs.88.78% ± 6.57%,P = 0.000),the percentage of infarct volume (22.62% ±2.17% vs.27.84% ±3.43%,P =0.000),and the numbers of MMP-9 positive cells(16.20 ± 2.17/mm vs.20.60 ± 2.71/mm,P = 0.000)were all significantly lower than those in the control group.Conclusions SL-xmk pretreatment may significantly inhibit the expression of MMP-9 in the brain tissue of focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion rats and reduce brain water content and infarct volume.
