OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effect of concentrated growth factor extract (CGFe) on the proliferation and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts attached to sandblasted and acid etched titanium surfaces.

METHODSTrials were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group used a-MEM that contained CGFe (10% FBS), whereas the control group only used a-MEM (10% FBS). MTT assay was employed to detect the number of osteoblasts on the first, third, and fifth days. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to detect the osteoblast differentiations on the third and fifth days and to observe the osteoblast extensions on titanium surfaces for 12 h, respectively. Meanwhile, the levels of the osteogenetic biomarkers Runt-related transcription factor-2 (Runx2) and Osterix (Osx) on the third and seventh days were quantified via real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

RESULTSMTT assay indicated that on the first, third, and fifth days, the absorbance in the experimental group significantly increased than that in the control group (P < 0.05). ALP activity: on the third and fifth days, the absorbance of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). SEM: at 12 h, the extension of the experimental group cells was larger than that of the control group. Real-time PCR: given the standardization in the group, the gene expression level of the control group on the third day was 1, and the Runx2 and Osx gene expressions in the experimental group were larger than those of the con- trol group.

CONCLUSIONCGFe can efficiently stimulate the proliferation, differentiation and extension of MC3T3-E1 cells.

?Objective: To study the effects of endogenous bone morphogenic protein 2(BMP 2) and 6(BMP 6) in rat facial nerve after injury. Methods: Facial nerve trunk was cut and then anastomosed in 30 adult male Sprague Dawley rats,another 6 rats without operation were used as the controls. Every 6 rats were killed 6 ,72 h,1, 2 and 4 weeks respectively after operation and nerve specimens were immunohistochemically examined for BMP 2 and BMP 6 expression. Result:In the control nerve the gray level of BMP 2 and BMP 6 were 210.89?8.21 and 232.03?9.25 respectively. 6, 72 h,1, 2 and 4 weeks after operation the gray level of BMP 2 were 242.83?11.01,240.67?7.91,234.46?5.28,232.12?7.27 and 220.71 ?10.19;that of BMP 6 210.75?5.19,204.08?10.85,198,91?8.58,186.37?4.11 and 184.62? 8.45 ,respectively. Conclusion: BMP 2 may play a role in the early irritable actions when facial nerve was injured. However, BMP 6 might have functions in the regeneration of facial nerve during later period after injury.

OBJECTIVE:To determine the plasma mycophenolic acid concentration by HPLC, and study the multidoses pharmacokinetics character of mycophenolic acid in Chinese kidney transplantation patients. METHODS: The samples were precipitated with acetonitrile before injection. Diamonsil C18 column was used. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-10 mmol?L-1 KH2PO4 (5∶6) at a flow rate of 1.1 mL?min-1. The detection wavelength was 254 nm and the column temperature was 40 ℃. This method was used to determine the multidoses pharmacokinetics in 12 kidney transplantation patients. RESULTS: MPA was well-separated from internal standard in chromatography, and endogenous foreign substance in plasma had no interference on the determination. The liner range for MPA was 0.38～59.00 ?g?mL-1,and the lowest detectable concentration of MPA was 0.38 ?g?mL-1. The recovery rate stood at 89.32%～97.63%; Both intra-day and inter-day RSD were less than 8.00%. Significant individual difference was noted among the patients treated with MMF in pharmacokinetic results, which was in line with the literature. CONCLUSION: This method is accurate and simple and applicable for the pharmacokinetics study of mycophenolic acid.

Objective To evaluate the antidepressant efficacy and adverse reactions of 3 different stimulus dosage of modified electroconvulsive therapy ( MECT) in patients with depressive episode. Methods 120 patients with depressive episode were randomized into low dosage group ( n=40) ,medium dosage group ( n=40) and high dosage group ( n=40) . Low dosage were 50%× age,medium dosage was 70%×age,high dosage was 80%×age . All patients received 6 treatments. Hamilton depression scale?17(HAMD?17) was used to evaluate the clinical symptoms at baseline,3 and 6 treatments. Effects and adverse reactions were compared among three groups.Results Compared with baseline the HAMD?17 scores of the 3 groups were significantly improved after 6 treatments( t=24.026, P=0.000;t=26.541, P=0.000;t=25.904, P=0.000) , but there were no statistically significant differences among the three dosage groups(F=0.409, P=0.665). Compared with low dosage group((27.2±5.4)%),the HAMD?17 scores reductive ratio of medium dosage group((34.3±6.8)%) and high dosage group((33.9±6.9)%)) were significantly improved after 3 treat?ments ( t=-5.513, P=0.000;t=-4.785, P=0.000). Compared with the low dosage group,the incidence rate of headache,nausea and vomiting,delirium were significantly higher in high dosage groups( headache:χ2=14.532, P=0.000;nausea and vomiting:χ2=13.333, P=0.000;delirium:χ2=14.907, P=0.000) . The re?covery time was significantly longer in medium dosage group ( ( 10. 5 ± 1. 6 ) min ) and high dosage group ((11.2±1.8)min) than that in low dosage group((8.8±1.2)min)( t=-5.144,=0.000;t=-6.889, P=0.000).Conclusion Different stimulus dosage of MECT for depressive episode has equivalent curative effect after 6 treatment . Medium dosage and high dosage treatments appear to have an early onset of efficacy,but may also be associated with more adverse reactions.

Objective To evaluate the echocardiographic features of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy( ApHCM). Methods Twenty-seven patients with ApHCM including 21 men and 6 women, average age (42.7 ± 5. 1 ) years old were followed up from 1995 to 2008 to investigate the clinical, electroeardiographic and echocardiographic features. Results The major features of ECG were increased R amplitude( V_4 > V_5 > V_3)and inverteted T wave(especially in V_(3-5) leads and the voltage of the inverteted T waves may be up to ≥10 mm). The major feature of echocardiography was the thickening of left ventricular apical wall to 15 - 37 ( 18. 0± 3. 3 ) mm. The final follow up showed that the mean thickness of the apical wall was ( 19. 7 ±3. 7) mm. The ratio of the thickness of left ventricular apical wall to posterior wall before and after the follow up was 1. 7 ±0. 3 and 1. 9 ±0. 9 respectively, with significant statistical difference ( P < 0. 05). There was no difference in the left ventricular end-diastolic dimension and left ventricular ejection fraction. The main cardiovascular events were atrial fibrillation ( 16 cases) , heart failure of NYHA ID-IV class (3 cases) , anterior wall myocardial infarction ( 1 case) and sudden death ( 1 case). Conclusions The final diagnosis of ApHCM depends on the characteristic inverteted T wave in ECG and apical hypertrophy in echocardiography. The prognosis of ApHCM is rather good for its progression is relatively slow.
