Objective To study the relationship between the abnormality of mitochondrinl DNA (mtDNA) copy number and the clinical parameters and microsatellite instability (MSI) in colorectal cancer. Methods Total DNA was extracted from cancer and pericancer tissue from 50 colorectal cancer (CRC) biopsy samples. Non-ceding region sequencing was done and the copy number of mtDNA was quantitated with real-time PCR in mitochondrial NDI gene. The relationship between clinical indicators, mtMSI and mitochondrial copy number was detected. Results The mean copy number of mtDNA 312±185 in the tumor tissue was significantly lower than that 525±125 of the corresponding non-tumor tissue of these patients (P<0.001). No significant correlation was found between mtDNA copy number and other variables including age, gender, pathological type and clinical stage (P > 0. 05). However, there was a significant correlation between copy number and mtMSI (P<0.001). Conclusion There is a significant reduction of mtDNA in CRC patients, which may be caused by mtMSL

Objective: Our purpose was to study the predictive factors of interferon(IFN) therapeutic effectiveness. Methods:Genotypes of HCV, HCV RNA quantities, β2 microglobulin, 2′- 5′oligoadenylate synthetase, and peripheral blood lymohocyte subgroup were detected by using specific primer PCR assay, energy transference technique of signal primer, sheet chromatography, radioimmunoassay, and APAAP immunoenzyme bridge technique respectively in 20 blood samples of patients with chronic hepatitis C. Results:(1)The patients who had lower level of HCV RNA before treatment and had continuing decreased HCV RNA level after treatment had good response to IFN treatment in follow-up survey. (2)The patients with HCV-Ⅲ type had complete response much more than those with HCV-Ⅱ type (P＜0.05).(3)The patients with lower level of 2′- 5′oligoadenylate synthetase before treatment might have good response to IFN treatment. (4) There was no significant change in β2 microglobulin level before and after treatment and in different response groups before treatment.(5) The CD+3, CD+4, and CD+4/CD+8 in peripheral blood increased after treatment. The patients in complete response group had higher level CD+3, CD+4, and CD+4/CD+8 than those in part response and non-response groups, but there was no significance in statisitcs. Conclusion:The HCV RNA quantities, HCV genotypes, 2′- 5′oligoadenylate synthetase level before treatment were predictive factors of IFN therapeutic effectiveness. The changes of HCV RNA level in treatment and follow-up survey had important significance in therapeutic evaluation, β2 microglobulin level, and lymphocyte subgroup before treatment were not used as predictive factors for IFN therapeutic effectiveness.

Conclusion The recommended quality control protocol is useful to obtain comparable results from different automatic biochemistry analyzers.

Objective To explore the change of degrade of clonazepam in serum with single and repeated - dose administration in children with seizure, and find a reasonable method for using the clonazepam. Methods Children with seizures were divided into single - dose paradigam, repeated - dose paradigam, and decreased - dose paradigam. The concentration of CZP in serum was determined by high performance liquid chromatography( HPLC). Results The serum concentrations of clanazepain in single - dose paradigam were (101.9?12.1),(76.9 ? 5.8),(50.7?2.9),(30.9?5.4),(21.5?6.8)?g/L,the time point that the blood samples collected were 15,30,60,120 and 480 min. The serum concentrations in repeated - dose paradigam were (97. 2 ? 6. 1),(130.4? 13. 4), (99. 4 ? 9.8),(79.6?2.4)?g/L,in decreased-dose paradigam were( 101.1 ?13.1),(123.1 ?6. 6), (99.4 ?9. 8), (79. 3 ? 2. 2)?g/L,in these two groups,the time point were 15,45,60 and 120 min. Conclusion Repeated administration of CZP with decreased dose may increase its effectiveness in treatment without substantially increasing toxicity.

BACKGROUND:Numerous experimental and clinical observations have shown new attachment formation in the periodontium by guided tissue regeneration. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the efficacy of guided tissue regeneration combined with bone grafting for the treatment of root furcation defects. METHODS:A computer-based online search combined with manual retrieval was conducted up to 2015 to screen the relevant English and Chinese literatures addressing guided tissue regeneration, bone grafting, and root furcation defects. Vertical and horizontal probing depth and attachment loss were analyzed. Meta-analysis was performed using Stata/SE version 12.0 software by extracting data from the relevant articles. Moreover, the publication bias was tested. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The meta-analysis results showed that at 6 months after treatment, the alterations in vertical probing depth and periodontal attachment were significantly increased after guided tissue regeneration compared with open-flap debridement (P<0.000 01);the alterations and increment in the periodontal attachment were significantly increased after combined treatment of guided tissue regeneration and bone grafting compared with open-flap debridement (P<0.000 01);the reduction in the vertical and horizontal probing depth and the increment in periodontal attachment were significantly increased after combined treatment of guided tissue regeneration and bone grafting compared with guided tissue regeneration (P<0.000 01 or P=0.01). At 12 months after treatment, the reduction in vertical probing depth and the increment in attachment loss were significantly increased after combined treatment of guided tissue regeneration and bone grafting compared with guided tissue regeneration (P<0.000 01). These results indicate that the guided tissue regeneration combined with bone grafting in the treatment of root furcation defects is superior to guided tissue regeneration or open-flap debridement. In addition, in the latter two therapies, guided tissue regeneration shows a better therapeutic effect. However, the therapeutic effects of various types of regenerated membranes and bone grafts need further in-depth study to define the optimal treatment strategy.

This study is to screen the Chinese herbal compounds which could inhibit the production of Abeta and investigate the underlying mechanism. Ten types of compounds which have potential value in the treatment of AD were selected as initial screening trial. The cell models which used could overexpress Abeta and beta-secretases or Abeta and gamma-secretases. Extracellular Abeta was determined by ELISA after the cell models treated with different concentrations of compounds (0.5-100 micromol x L(-1)), separately. Then the compounds were selected which could inhibit extracellular Abeta and their best concentration ranges were decided, too. Furthermore, the cell viability and apoptosis rate, the level of intracellular Abeta, beta and gamma-secretases were determined after the cell models treated with different concentrations of selected compounds. The results showed that 4 of the 10 compounds could reduce the level of extracellular Abeta; they were cryptotanshinone, astragalosides, gastrodin and paeoniflorin, and their best concentration ranges were 0.5-5.0, 0.5-5.0, 5.0-50, 1.0-25 micromol x L(-1), respectively. Further study indicated that the 4 selected compounds were nontoxic to the cellular models and lowering intracellular Abeta were more effective compared with extracellular; of which astragalosides and gastrodin showed dose-dependent inhibition to the activities of beta and gamma-secretases, with the maximum inhibiting rates of 78.2% and 80.3%, respectively. In conclusion, cryptotanshinone, astragalosides, gastrodin and paeoniflorin could inhibit the expression and secretion of Abeta, and the underlying inhibiting mechanism of astragalosides and gastrodin were related with the reduction of the beta and gamma-secretase activities, respectively.
