Objective To investigate the effects of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on BMP-6 expression during mandibular distraction osteogenesis. Methods Twenty-five mature rabbits were randomly divided into five groups. Mandibular osteoto?mies were performed corticectomy in bilateral mandibles of rabbits. PRF was implanted in the one side of mandibles, which was used as experimental group. Another side of madibular was used as control group. Rabbits were sacrificed and the dis?tracted calluses were harvested and processed for HE and BMP-6 immunohistochemistry staining at 1, 3, 7, 14 and 28 days after the end of distraction, respectively. The expressions of BMP-6 in the distracted calluses were analyzed by cell digital imaging software. Results The regenerated bone was found in the distraction gap after mandibular lengthening. Expres?sions of BMP-6 were co-localized in cytoplasm of osteoblasts and newly embedded osteocytes. Compared with control group, the positive cell rate and positive area percentage of BMP-6 were significantly higher on the 1st, 3th and 7th day after the distraction in experimental group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in positive cell rate and positive area per?centage of BMP-6 at 14-day and 28-day after the distraction between experimental group and control group. Conclusion PRF can accelerate bone formation of mandibular distraction osteogenesis in rabbits. BMP-6 may play important role at the early stage of mandibular distraction.

BACKGROUND:Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels (hUC-MSCs) can obviously relieve liver cirrhosis, and thereby repair liver injury. However, the molecular mechanism of hUC-MSCs therapy for liver cirrhosis is limited at present, and especialy the non-coding RNA regulation of hepatic gene changes has not been detailed. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the changes of microRNA after hUC-MSCs therapy in rats with liver cirrhosis. METHODS:Liver cirrhosis models were established in rats using carbon tetrachloride subcutaneous injection plus oral administration of alcohol. At 8 weeks after modeling, hUC-MSCs were injectedvia the tail vein once a week for 4 consecutive weeks. At 1 week after the last injection, rat liver tissues were colected for paraffin embedding. Liver RNA was extracted for gene chip analysis. Blood samples were colected and analyzed using an automatic biochemical analyzer to detect the changes of liver function. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase were improved significantly after hUC-MSCs therapy. Fat lesions and necrosis of hepatocytes were significantly reduced. MicroRNA expression microarray hybridization analysis and PCR results showed that rno-miR-369-5p, rno-miR-3584-5p and rno-miR-153* were down-regulated during modeling and increased after hUC-MSCs therapy. And rno-miR-93, rno-miR-199a-3p, rno-miR-195, rno-let-7a and rno-miR-19a were firstly up-regulated in the process of modeling and then down-regulated obviously after hUC-MSCs therapy. These results suggest that hUC-MSCs may reverse liver cirrhosis and liver cel damage through up-regulation of rno-miR-369-5p, rno-miR-3584-5p and rno-miR-153*, and down-regulation of rno-miR-93, rno-miR-199a-3p, rno-miR-195, rno-let-7a and rno-miR-19a.

Purpose To investigate the significance of arterial phase display of right ovarian vein (ROV) for patients with pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS) through multi-slice CT angiography (MSCTA) Materials and Methods Forty-three patients with PCS confirmed clinically who underwent MSCTA were involved in the study. Revascularization was realized via add vessel volume rendering technique and maximum intensity projection (MIP) and the relationships among ROV early development, location of converging vascular, development of LOV and pelvic draining veins were analyzed. Results Out of 43 cases of ROV early development during arterial phase, 21 cases (48.8%) took ROV as draining vein of PCS, among which 17 cases (81.0%) converged into the inferior cava vena. In 19 cases (44.2%), ROV took part in the formation of PCS, all originating from the main right renal vein. Three cases (7.0%) were renal vein-derived PCS, among which two ROV originated from the main right renal vein and one from the branch of the right renal vein. Conclusion According to the imaging features of bilateral ovarian veins and pelvic veins, ROV, as draining veins, is associated with the formation of PCS.

Objective:To investigate the expressions of apoptosis-related factors survivin, p53 and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in breast cancer tissues and their prognostic value.Methods:A total of 131 patients undergoing radical mastectomy for breast cancer who were admitted to Tangshan Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from February 2015 to January 2019 were selected as the research subjects. During the operation, the cancer tissues and adjacent tissues (normal tissues >3 cm from the tumor margin) were collected from the patients. Expressions of survivin, p53 and HER2 in cancer tissues and adjacent tissues of patients were detected by using immunohistochemistry. The prognoses of patients were recorded after the follow-up for 3 years; the recurrence, metastasis and death treated as the poor prognosis, the rest prognoses of patients were treated as the good prognosis group. The difference of clinicopathological characteristics between the poor prognosis group and the good prognosis group was compared. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze risk factors for prognosis of breast cancer patients. The result of prognosis of breast cancer was taken as the golden standard. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the value of survivin pasitive, p53 pasitive, HER2 pasitive alone, the combination of both and the combination of the there in the judgement of poor prognosis of breast cancer.Results:The positive expression rates of survivin [49.6% (65/131) vs. 7.6% (10/131)], p53 [60.3% (79/131) vs. 13.0% (17/131)] and HER2 [79.4% (104/131) vs. 16.8% (22/131)] in cancer tissues were higher than those in adjacent tissues (all P<0.001). A total of 131 breast cancer patients were followed up for 3 years without any loss of follow-up, and the follow-up rate was 100%. Within the follow-up for 3 years, there were 15 (11.5%) cases of recurrence, 8 (6.1%) cases of metastasis, and 10 (7.6%) cases of death, the incidence of poor prognosis was 25.2% (33/131); and the remaining 98 cases had good prognosis. The proportions of patients with TNM stage Ⅲ, lymph node metastasis, poorly differentiated histology, tumor diameter ≥3 cm, survivin, p53, and HER2 positive expressions in the poor prognosis group were higher than those in the good prognosis group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that TNM stage Ⅲ [ OR = 5.323 (95% CI 2.190-12.936)], lymph node metastasis [ OR = 4.773 (95% CI 1.964-11.600)], tumor diameter ≥3 cm [ OR = 3.582(95% CI 1.474-8.706)], positive survivin [ OR = 2.740 (95% CI 1.127-6.659)], positive p53 [ OR = 3.271 (95% CI 1.346-7.949)], and positive HER2 [ OR = 3.873 (95% CI 1.594-9.412)] were independent risk factors for prognosis of breast cancer (all P<0.001). The ROC curve results showed that the area under the curve (AUC) values of survivin positive, p53 positive,HER2 positive, and the combination of any two were more than 0.80 (all P<0.001); the AUC of the combination of the three was 0.944 (95% CI 0.890-0.977) ( P<0.001). Conclusions:The expressions of survivin, p53, and HER2 are highly expressed in breast cancer tissues. The expressions of the three can be used to judge the prognosis of breast cancer patients, and the combination of the three has a higher judgement value.

Objective: To reveal the molecular mechanism underlying the compatibility of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge (S. miltiorrhiza, Dan Shen) and C. tinctorius L. (C. tinctorius, Hong Hua) as an herb pair through network pharmacology and subsequent experimental validation. Methods: Network pharmacology was applied to construct an active ingredient-efficacy target-disease protein network to reveal the unique regulation pattern of S. miltiorrhiza and C. tinctorius as herb pair. Molecular docking was used to verify the binding of the components of these herbs and their potential targets. An H9c2 glucose hypoxia model was used to evaluate the efficacy of the components and their synergistic effects, which were evaluated using the combination index. Western blot was performed to detect the protein expression of these targets. Results: Network pharmacology analysis revealed 5 pathways and 8 core targets of S. miltiorrhiza and C. tinctorius in myocardial protection. Five of the core targets were enriched in the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) signaling pathway. S. miltiorrhiza-C. tinctorius achieved vascular tone mainly by regulating the target genes of the HIF-1 pathway. As an upstream gene of the HIF-1 pathway, STAT3 can be activated by the active ingredients cryptotanshinone (Ctan), salvianolic acid B (Sal. B), and myricetin (Myric). Cell experiments revealed that Myric, Sal. B, and Ctan also exhibited synergistic myocardial protective activity. Molecular docking verified the strong binding of Myric, Sal. B, and Ctan to STAT3. Western blot further showed that the active ingredients synergistically upregulated the protein expression of STAT3. Conclusion The pharmacodynamic transmission analysis revealed that the active ingredients of S. miltiorrhiza and C. tinctorius can synergistically resist ischemia through various targets and pathways. This study provides a methodological reference for interpreting traditional Chinese medicine compatibility.
