Objective:To observe the changes of plaque microflora during the experimental gingivitis and to analyze the relationship between the plaque microflora and the clinical parameters.Methods:11 young male subjects with healthy gingiva and without systemic disease were selected.Subgingival plaque samples(2 sites /person)were collected and then smeared by Gongo red at baseline(0 day),the 7th,14th,21st day(without oral hygiene)and 28th day(7 days after reestablishing oral hygiene)respectively during experimental gingivitis.At the same time the clinical parameters were recorded.The results of smear and the clinical parameters were analyzed.Results:The percentage of spirochete was the lowest at the baseline and increased during the experimental gingivitis,and then reached the highest level on the 21st day.The percentage of spirochete of the 21st day showed the significant different compared with that of baseline(P0.05)Conclusion:Spirochete is correlated to the development of the gingivitis.

Objective: To measure GCF calprotectin and total protein for evaluating whether the calprotectin could be a sensitive marker for the initial inflammation of gingiva. Methods: Eleven young male subjects with healthy gingiva, who had no systemic diseases, were selected for this study. GCF samples (4 teeth /person) were collected with strips of filter paper at baseline (0 day), on the 7 th, 14 th, 21 st days (without oral hygiene), and 28 th day (7 days after reestablishing oral hygiene) during experimental gingivitis. The amount of calprotectin was measured by ELISA. The amount of total protein was assessed with protein dye binding assay. Results: The amount of calprotectin increased during the experimental gingivitis, and reached the highest level on the 21 st day. After oral hygiene was reestablished it reduced to the level of baseline. The amount of total protein had the same tendency as calprotectin. Conclusion: The amount of calprotectin and the total protein in GCF can reflect the initial inflammation of gingiva.

Objective To explore the relationship of the mean color vessels density (MCVD) and pathologic microvessel density(MVD) in rectal cancers and their relation with T stags and lymph node metastasis.Methods MCVD were caculated preoperationly with transrectal color power angiography(TRCPA).After operation MVD was assessed immunohistochemically using anti-CD105 monoclonal antibody.The relationships within MCVD, MVD and T stages and lymph node metastasis were analysed.Results There were positive correlation between MCVD and MVD (r=0.763, P＜0.01) in rectal cancer.There were significant difference of MCVD and MVD in both the depth of carcinoma invasion and metastasis of lymphatic nodes( P＜0.05).Conclusions MCVD can display features of the blood supply and distribution of pathologic microvessels and reflect the development of rectal cancers.MCVD is a credible index to choose available treatment and to evaluate prognosis before operation of rectal cancer.

Background and purpose:Multidrug resistance(MDR)is the main obstacle of chemotherapy in the treatment of cancer,and it has been reported that the muted p53 gene is related to MDR.In this study,we explored whether adenovirus mediated p53 gene(Ad-p53)could reverse MDR of human breast cancer and its impacts on the expressions of P-gp,TOPOⅡ and GST-?.Methods:In this study,adriamycin-resistant human breast carcinoma cells(MCF-7/Adr)and its parental cells(MCF-7)were used to determine the effect of Ad-p53.Cck-8 assay was adopted to evaluate the cytotoxicity of adriamycin.Western blot were performed to observe the expression of P-glycoprotein(P-gp),TopoismeraseⅡ(TOPOⅡ)and GST-?.Results:After transfection with 50 MOI Ad-p53,the 50% inhibitory concentration(IC50)of adriamycin to MCF-7/Adr cells was decreased from(4.54?0.91)?g/ml to(0.26?0.11)?g/ml,and the chemosensitivity increased 18.1 times(P
