BACKGROUND:The cytokine has an effect of immunoregulation and immediate induction in the reconstruction of periodontal tissue. At present, the role and mechanism of hepatocyte growth factor involving the reconstruction of periodontal tissue under orthodontic force are stil unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the mechanism underlying hepatocyte growth factor in the tooth movement and periodontal tissues remodeling under the inflammation periodontal tissue condition.
METHODS:Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 8 weeks, were used to establish periodontitis model. The obtained model was randomly divided into two groups:inflammatory control group and inflammatory force group. In the force group, rats were treated with the fixed orthodontic appliance by 50 g forces in the maxil ary first molars. After 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 days of tooth movement, five rats were sacrificed respectively. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemistry methods were used to analyze the expression and distribution of hepatocyte growth factor in the periodontium for rats at different tooth movement stages.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Hematoxylin-eosin staining results showed that, remodeling of periodontal tissues existed in al groups. (2) The immunohistochemical results showed that hepatocyte growth factor had positive expression in periodontal tissue, and the distribution was even in the control group. In the force group, hepatocyte growth factor expression was increased and reached the peak on day 5, then began to decline. Osteoblast, fibroblast and osteoclast were strongly expressed. The findings indicate that, hepatocyte growth factor is involved in the periodontal tissues remodeling under orthodontic force, and inflammation can increase the expression of hepatocyte growth factor in periodontal tissue.

BACKGROUND:Active vitamin D3 plays an important role in the development of type 2 diabetes and its complications. OBJECTIVE: To explore the influence of active vitamin D3 on the liver of type 2 diabetes melitus rats, and its mechanisms. METHODS:A total of 35 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal control group, diabetes group and vitamin D3 group. In the diabetes group and vitamin D3 group, rats received high fat and high sugar diet and intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin to prepare rat models of diabetes melitus. In the vitamin D3 group, rats were intragastricaly given calcitriol dissolved in peanut oil 0.03 μg/kg per day. In the normal control group and diabetes group, rats were intragastricaly given peanut oil. 8 weeks later, rats were sacrificed and serum was isolated. Fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, total cholesterol and triacylglycerol levels were measured. Insulin resistance index in the steady-state model was calculated. The liver was retained, and subjected to hematoxylin-eosin staining, immunohistochemical staining, and real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Compared with the diabetes group, triacylglycerol and insulin resistance index were lower in the vitamin D3 group (P < 0.05). (2) Compared with the normal control group, sweling of the liver cels and fatty degeneration with inflammatory cel infiltration were found. Protein expression of JNK and C-Jun and phosphorylation levels, mRNA expression of JNK and C-Jun, tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin-1β increased in the diabetes group (P < 0.05). Liver cel sweling and fatty degeneration lessened, inflammatory cel infiltration reduced in the vitamin D3 group. Simultaneously, the expression of above factors was lower in the vitamin D3 group than in the diabetes group (P < 0.05). (3) Results suggested that the protective effect of vitamin D3 on the liver of rats with type 2 diabetes was possibly associated with its effect on downregulating JNK/C-Jun signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the treatment effect and mechanism of A-NK cells on the subcutaneous trans?planted tumor of oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma in nude mice through observing the external growth and hyperplasia of A-NK cells and to provide theoretical evidence for squamous cell carcinoma treatment. Methods A-NK cells and NA-NK cells were both derived from healthy human peripheral blood and cultured in vitro. Cell growth was observed under micro?scope. The squamous cell carcinoma model in nude mice was established through subcutaneous implanting of Tca8113 cells. Then they were randomly assigned into three groups who were injected with either saline solution, or A-NK cells or NA-NK cells paraneoplastically. All animals were sacrificed after 33 days when tumor were isolated then weight and change in tumor size were assessed. Finally curve of tumor growth was drawn. Results Under the microscope, the proliferation of A-NK cells peak in 15 days and NA-NK cells peak in 12 days. After 3 weeks, the number of A-NK cells increased by 39.33 times while the number of NA-NK cells increased by 16.33 times. The Volume of tongue squamous cell carcinoma in saline solu?tion group was larger than that in A-NK cells and NA-NK cells groups, and volume in the NA-NK cells group was larger than that in A-NK cells group. The volume of tongue neoplasms in different groups, time, and interaction effects are statisti?cally significant (P<0.01). The tongue neoplasms weight in the saline solution group was greater than that in the A-NK cells and NA-NK cells group, and the weight in NA-NK cells group was greater than that in A-NK cells group, and the difference are statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion A-NK cells and NA-NK cells can significantly inhibit the subcutane?ous transplanted tumors in nude mice and the anti tumor effect of A-NK group is stronger than NA-NK.
