Biological performances of Ni-Cr porcelain alloy are highly correlated with released metallic ions. Released metal ions from Ni-Cr porcelain alloy, particularly Ni, Be can induce inflammation of the adjacent periodontal tissue and oral mucosa. In vitro evidence has indicated that the immune response can be altered by various metal ions. Allergic reactions due to metallic dental restorations have been documented. Ni has especially been identified as being highly allergenic. The cytotoxicity and corrosion level of Ni-Cr porcelain alloy is increased after recasting. The Ni-Cr porcelain alloy produced according to technology requirements has good biological safety. Ni-Cr porcelain alloy released a few of metal ions which might induce allergy and density of adjacent periodontal tissues, for the stimulation effect of these metal ions. There is no evidence to suggest that Ni-Cr porcelain alloy restorations has systemic toxicity or carcinogenic/genotoxic effect to human.

ObjectiveTo determine the source of IL-6 in detached retina and the change of IL-6 level in detached and reattached retina.MethodsRetinas of SD rat were examined after subretinal injection of 1.4% Healon GV at different period of time, and the level of IL-6 in detached and reattached retina were detected by radio-immune histochemistry method. Wax-embeded sections were labeled with IL-6 antibody to determine the location of IL-6.ResultsDetached retina with normal vitreous and inner limiting membrane could only induce the subretinal fibrosis. This kind of fibrosis reached to its peak at 10th day and then remolded with time. Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell, Muller cell, endothelial cell, glial cell were labled with IL-6, and the level of IL-6 in neuro-retina reached to its peak at 3rd-4th day and then downed to normal within a few days. The level of IL-6 in reattached retina was lower than in detached retina. The expression of IL-6 in RPE of detached area was stronger than in attached area.ConclusionIL-6 takes active part in wound healing process induced by the separation of RPE and neuro-retina. Reattachment can lower the expression of IL-6 in retina.

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of integrin β1 during retinal detachment and reattachment of rabbits.Methods24 rabbits were used to make retinal detachment and reattachment model by using hyaluronidase and micropipette. The expression of integrin β1 were observed with hybridization in situ.ResultsThe expression of integrin β1 in reattached retina was lower than that in detached retina.ConclusionRetinal reattachment may inhibit the development of proliferative vireoretinopathy.

AIM:To study the differentiation of rat marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) into myoid cells in vitro . METHODS:The MSCs of SD rat were cultured?passaged?induced and differentiated in vitro used by routine culture technique, and evaluated by FACScan flow cytometer,detected by immunohistochemistry and analyzed by Hitachi H-600 transmission electron microscope(TEM). RESULTS:FACScan shows that cells expressed the antigens of CD29 and CD44, not those of CD11b and CD45; cells show positive response of staining with desmin and myoglobin after processing by two compounds of 5-azacytidine and amphotericin B. There were stripform zone of myofilament without any organells beside the edge of membrane in myoid cell of induction and differentiation checked by TEM. CONCLUSION: The passaged cells were MSCs and the MSCs may have specific gene structures that can differentiate into myoid cells. The demethylation or hypomethylation may conduct by compounds of 5-azacytidine and amphotericin B, which could be involved in activating phenotype-specific genes to differentiate MSCs into myoid cells. There are good outlook on clinical treatment of illness of myatrophy using by MSCs.

Objective To understand clinical distribution and antimicrobial resistance of clinically isolated Serratia marcescens(S .marcescens ),and provide basis for rational use of antimicrobial agents,as well as prevention and control of infection.Methods 427 S .marcescens strains isolated between January 1 ,2012 and December 31 ,2015 were analyzed,antimicrobial susceptibility testing were performed by disk diffusion method.Results 427 S . marcescens strains were mainly from respiratory tract (70.26%),among which the majority were from sputum (64.87%).S .marcescens were primarily from intensive care unit(ICU,19.44%),department of integrated tradi-tional Chinese and Western medicine(15.46%)as well as rehabilitation department (13.58%).The resistance rates of S .marcescens to cefoperazone/sulbactam,ertapenem,cefepime,ceftazidime,amikacin,imipenem,levofloxacin, and piperacillin/tazobactam were all<10%;resistance rates to ciprofloxacin,gentamicin,tobramycin,ceftriaxone, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (SMZ/TMP),and aztreonam were 10%-30%.Difference in the resistance rates of S .marcescens to cefoperazone/sulbactam,ciprofloxacin,ceftriaxone,amikacin,aztreonam,and SMZ/TMP dur-ing 4 years were statistically significant (P <0.05).In 2012-2013,resistance rates of S .marcescens to cefopera-zone/sulbactam,ciprofloxacin,ceftriaxone,aztreonam,and SMZ/TMP increased obviously,then resistance rates tend to be stable,while resistance rates to cefoperazone/sulbactam decreased.Conclusion Susceptibility of S.marcescens to most antimicrobial agents are high,but resistance had increasing tendency;susceptible rates of S .marcescens to ertapenem,ceftazidime,levofloxacin,and piperacillin/tazobactam are all high,and can be used as the empirical medication for the treatment of related infection.

Objective:To specify optimize condition of process for mixture extraction of three kinds of volatile oil and preparation of ? CYD inclusion compound of Yuxianling Granules.Methods: Taking weight of volatile oil to evaluate the extraction process and percentage recovery of inclusion compound, transfer rate of oil, inclusion rate of oil to evaluate the inclusion process. Orthogonal design was applied.

Objective To study the effects of hormone,anesthetie and contrast medium on the activities of collagenase lysis.Methods Nuclear tissues were divided into equal amount for different groups and same units of collagenase were used for the lysis.The only difference in the control group from experimental groups was that there were no dexamethasone,lidocaine or omnipaque but existing in experimental groups.Twenty four hours later,the concentrations of the hydroxyproline were determined in different groups and the data were analyzed by statistical software with computer.Results 1.The concentrations of hydroxyproline in the dexamcthasone group,lidocaine group and omnipaque group were significantly lower than that of control group,especially that of lidocaine group,P value was<0.05 or 0.01.2. The concentrations of hydroxyproline in the dexamethasone+lidocaine group,dexamethasone+omnipaque group,lidocaine+omnipaque group and dexamethasone+lidocaine+omnipaque group were significantly lower than that of control group;and simultaneously lower in dexamethasone group,lidocaine group,omnipaque group respectively;P value was also<0.05 or 0.01.Conclusion Dexamethasone,lidocaine and omnipaque can individually inhibit the activity of collagenase at different degrees,so they shouldn't be used together with collagenase in treating the lumber disc herniation.

Objective To evaluate the indications and intraoperative management of nephron-spar- ing surgery (NSS) for renal cell carcinoma (RCC).Methods A total of 53 patients (32 men and 21 women;age range,21 -76 years) with unilateral RCC and a normal contralateral kidney underwent NSS.The disease course ranged from 1 week to 13 months.The unilateral RCCs were detected by B-uhrasonography. Partial nephrectomy was performed on 38 cases of polar RCC and wedge nephrectomy was performed on 15 cases of central RCC.Both renal vein and artery were blocked for 10 - 15 min,and unclamped for 1 -2 min if necessary.The resections were finished within 7 -21 min (mean,12 min).No inosine and regional hypo- thermia were used during operation.Absorbable hemostatic gauze and terylene flake were used to suture renal wound surface.After operation all patients were treated with interferon hypodermic injection of 5 000 000 U every other day for 3 months.Results The diagnosis of RCC with negative cutting margin was confirmed by pathological examination in all patients.The greatest dimension of the renal cancers were<4 cm except for one of 6 cm.The clinical stage was T_1N_0M_0 in all patients.During the follow-up of 6 -48 months,all pa- tients were alive without recurrence and had normal renal function.Conclusions NSS can be rapidly per- formed for T_1 stage renal cancer<4 cm or single clearly localized cancer>4 cm in diameter.The follow-up results are satisfactory.
