Objective To investigate the inhibitory effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)in combination on human gastric cancer cell line AGS in vitro .Methods Human gastric cancer line AGS was treated with different concentrations of DHA and 5-FU alone or in combination.The inhibition of cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT assay.Dose of median (IC50 )of drugs (alone or in combination)and the combination index (CI)were calculated using the median-effect equation and the combination index equation of Chou-Talalay.Flow cytometry was used to detect the cell cycle distribution.The expression of mitochondrial respiratory membrane protein complex in AGS cells was analyzed with Western blot.Results DHA and 5-FU alone or in combination could markedly suppress the proliferation of AGS in significantly time-dependent and dose-dependent manners (P <0.05).IC50 values with DHA or 5-FU administered for 24 h and 48 h were 5 1.60 μg/mL (DHA:24 h),34.82 μg/mL (DHA:48 h),45.90 μg/mL (5-FU:24 h),and 1 6.86 μg/mL (5-FU:48 h), respectively.DHA remarkably strengthened the inhibitory effect of 5-FU and decreased IC50 of 5-FU by 3.56 -2.1 5 folds.The combination of DHA and 5-FU showed synergism.Flow cytometry showed that AGS cells treated with DHA and 5-FU were arrested in G0/G1 phase and the proportion of AGS cells in G0/G1 phase increased compared with that in the control group,DHA group and 5-FU group,while the proportion of the cells in S phase decreased significantly (P < 0.05 ).Western blot showed after treatment with DHA and 5-FU for 48 h,the expression of mitochondrial respiratory membrane protein complex was significantly decreased compared with control group,DHA group and 5-FU group (P <0.05).Conclusion DHA could act synergistically with 5-FU in inhibiting the growth of gastric carcinoma cells,and meanwhile decrease the dose of 5-FU.The mechanism may be associated with cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase and interference in the energy metabolism of AGS cells due to inhibition of the expression of mitochondrial oxidative respiratory chain complexes by the two compounds.

Objective:To study the technical operation of self-developed investment (FUS-invest) for titanium crown and bridge. Methods:Orthogonal design was done. Four factors were taken into account, i.e. water/powder ratio, adhesive/hardener ratio, fine powder proportion in refractory and agitation time. And each factor was ranked into three levels. Slurry fluidity, initial setting time and setting time of every experiment group were studied. Grain size graduation of the best group was measured.Results:Fluidity, initial setting time and setting time were most greatly affected by water/powder ratio and secondly by fine powder proportion in refractory. When water/powder ratio was 7.5∶1 and the content of fine powder was 35%, slurry fluidity was better and initial setting time and setting time were appropriate. When the content of fine powder of AFS fineness number 300 was 31.31%, fineness number 100 was (40.09%), fineness number 70 was 18.05% and adhesive/hardness ratio was 200∶1, the perfect titanium castings could be fabricated. Conclution:The best rules of technical operation for perfect titanium castings are water/powder ratio (7.5)∶1, the content of fine powder 35% and adhesive/hardener ratio 200∶1.

BACKGROUND:Silk fibroin/mesoporous glass ceramic composites have been reported to exert satisfactory repair outcomes in bone defects and hold good biocompatibility. However, the biosafety and preparation methods are rarely reported. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the preparation method and treatment outcomes of silk fibroin/mesoporous bioactive glass ceramic in skul repair. METHODS:Thirty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were enrol ed to establish the skul defect models and were thenrandomized into two groups:fibroin/mesoporous glass ceramic materials and silk fibroin were respectively implanted into the defect region in experimental and control groups. At 4 and 8 weeks after implantation, the CT examination and histological observation were performed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:CT examination showed that at 4 weeks after implantation, the defect area in the experimental group diminished in size, showing more dense new bones. The defect area of the control group was reduced, and a smal amount of new bones were observed. At 8 weeks after implantation, bone defect repair was completed in the experimental group, but not in the control group. The bone volume in the experimental group was significantly larger than that in the control group at different time points after implantation (P<0.05). Hematoxylin-eosin staining found that at 4 weeks after implantation, in the experimental group, there was new bone between the implant and the bone, which did not cause inflammation;there were few new bones and fibrous tissues in the control group. At 8 weeks after implantation, many new bones formed in the experimental group, with similar morphology to the host bone and the scaffold was degraded completely. Conversely, the implant material stil existed in the control group. In conclusion, the silk fibroin/mesoporous glass ceramic composite can promote bone repair.
