BACKGROUND: A large number of cytokines produce in the periodontium on the tension side during orthodontic tooth movement, participate in periodontal remodeling, and make the tooth move to its normal position, thus achieving alveolar remodeling. Heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) is reported to be involved in the periodontal remodeling. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of HSP27 in the rat periodontium on the tension side during the orthodontic tooth movement.METHODS: The rat models of orthodontic tooth movement were constructed using NiTi coil spring with the force value of 50 g. The periodontal samples were collected at 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 14 days after exerting force to detect the expression level of HSP27 in the periodontium on the tension side.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Immunofluorescence staining results revealed that the expression level of HSP27 in the periodontal tissues began to increase at the 1st day after exerting force, reached the highest level at the 3rd day, and then fell to the initial level at the 5th day. To conclude, HSP27 is evoked by orthodontic force early, and it may play a role in periodontal remodeling.

BACKGROUND:Extensive research has been concentrated on the reconstruction of periodontium under orthodontic force. However, there are no reports regarding the expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in rat periodontium during orthodontic tooth movement. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the expression of HSP70 in rat periodontium during orthodontic tooth movement. METHODS:Rat orthodontic tooth movement models were established using NiTi extension spring with the force of 50 g. The orthodontic periodontium was col ected at 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 14 days after exerting force to detect the expression of HSP70. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:According to immunofluorescence staining, the expression of HSP70 in the periodontal tissues was increased on day 1 after exerting force, and reached the highest level on day 5, then decreased to the initial level on day 14. These results suggest that the expression of HSP70 is evoked by orthodontic force, and it may play a role in periodontal remodeling.

Objective To observe the change of oxidalive stress indexes in the patients with diabetic perineuropathy (DPN), and investigate the protection role of glutathione (GSH) on neuroprotective effect. Methods The levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) and sensory nerve conduction velocity (SCV) were detected in 54 cases with DPN (DPN group) and 30 cases of health examination (control group). Fifty-four cases with DPN were divided into GSH group (given basic treatment and GSH 1.8 g/d) and CON group(given basic treatment and B vitamin) with 27 cases each by random-digits table. After treatment of 2 weeks, the levels of SOD, MDA and SCV were compared. Results The levels of MDA in DPN group were significantly higher than those in control group, while the activity of SOD was significantly lower than that in control group [(7.23 ±2.31) μmol/L vs. (4.87 ± 1.17) μmol/L, (59.72 ± 13.58) kU/L vs. (76.19 ± 7.55 ) kU/L](P< 0.01). After treatment, the level of MDA was decreased and the activity of SOD was increased in GSH group and CON group (P <0.05),but there was no significant difference between the two groups(P> 0.05). After treatment, the level of SCV was significantly increased in GSH group,while there was no significant difference in CON group (P >0.05). Conclusions Oxidative stress exists in DPN patients. The antioxidant treatment with GSH can improve impaired nerve and has a better effect of nerve protection than classical nerve nutrition therapy.

OBJECTIVE:
To determine the composition and distribution of beta-thalassemia-associated genotypes in Liuzhou area of Guangxi, China.
METHODS:
From January to December 2017, 13 847 individuals who came for premarital examination, maternity examination or health check were recruited with informed consent. The subjects were analyzed by reverse dot blotting (RDB) for 17 common beta-thalassemia-associated variants among the Chinese population. Individuals with inconsistent results by blood test, electrophoresis, and RDB were subjected to Sanger sequencing to detect rare variants of the beta globin gene.
RESULTS:
In total 2098 individuals were found to harbor beta-thalassemia-associated variants, which included 2075 heterozygotes (98.90%), 12 compound heterozygotes (0.57%) and 11 homozygotes (0.52%). CD41-42 (48.43%) and CD17 (31.45%) were the most common variants. Three hundred and thirty eight-individuals were found to also carry heterozygous variants of the alpha globin gene, with the most common types being --SEA/aa, -a3.7/aa, aCSa/aa, -a4.2/aa. Through Sanger sequencing, rare genotypes such as beta-32/betaN, betaCD41-42/betaIVS-II-5 and betaCD30/betaN were detected.
CONCLUSION
Liuzhou area has a high incidence of beta-thalassemia, but with a complex variant spectrum and clinical phenotypes different from other regions. Genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for the carrier population is crucial for the reduction of the related birth defects. Our result may provide valuable information for the prevention and control of beta-thalassemia in this area.
