ObjectiveTo evaluate the marginal integrity of restoration in two types of mate- rials, or resin- modified glass ionomer cement and polyacid- modified composite resin (compomer). MethodsRestorations of four kinds of material (GC Fuji Ⅱ LC, VitremerTM, Dyract compomer and F2000 compomer) were placed in the facial Class V cavity preparations in forty noncarious human molar teeth. The teeth were randomly assigned to 4 experimental groups of 10 teeth each. After thermal cy- cling( × 20,5 ~55℃ ), the teeth were immersed in 1% basic fuchsin dye for 24 hours at room tempera- ture. Staining along the teeth restoration interface was recorded. ResultsThe data indicated signifi- cant differences between all the restorative materials for both occlusal and gingival scores ( P=0.026, P = 0. 000)respectively. Further analysis revealed there were statistically significant differences between GC Fuji Ⅱ LC and others on occlusal margins versus Dyract compomer and others on gingival margins. Conclusion Factors such as dental conditioning, rates of water absorption and thermal coefficient were related to microleakage. Resin - modified glass ionomer cement showed less microleakage than polyacid- modified composite resin tested.

OBJECTIVETo identify the ileum tissue proteins differentially expressed in Pi-qi deficiency syndrome rats using proteomic approach.
METHODSThirty-seven rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, i. e., the normal control group (Group 1), the Pi-qi deficiency syndrome model group (Group 2), and the reserpine group (Group 3). The Pi-qi deficiency syndrome model was established using excessive exerting combined with irregular diet, and peritoneally injecting Reserpine Injection (1 mg/mL) respectively. The ileum tissues were separated after identified fuzzy method. The differentially expressed proteins were separated with two dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE), analyzed by Mass Spectrometry, and identified by MASCOT Software.
RESULTSThree proteins were differentially expressed in Group 2 and nine proteins were differentially expressed in Group 3 (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONPi-qi deficiency syndrome was closely related with decreased expression of albumin as well as increased expressions of trypsin and glucose-regulated protein 78.

OBJECTIVETo comparatively study the effects of three TCM methods for activating blood circulation, i.e. in combined with resolving stasis (A), regulating qi (B) and supplementing qi (C), respectively, on early stage cell apoptosis in precancerous lesion of rats with chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG).
METHODSRat model of CAG with precancerous lesion was duplicated by insertion of spring in pylorus and gastric perfusion of high-salt hot paste; and the impact of treatment on cell apoptosis was determined using Annexin V/PI double labeled flow cytometry.
RESULTSAfter being intervened for 12 weeks, the early stage cell apoptosis rate in the natural recovery group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P <0.01); while it lowered more significantly in the three groups receiving TCM therapeutic methods for activating blood circulation, showing significant difference compared with the natural recovery group (P <0.01).
CONCLUSIONThree therapies of activating blood circulation all show inhibitory action on the early stage apoptosis of precancerous lesion in CAG rats, which is possibly one of their action mechanisms for improving or reversing the precancerous lesion.

OBJECTIVETo construct a three plasmids lentiviral vector containing canine coagulation factor IX (cFIX) gene with ubiquinone promoter (PUB) and observe the expression of cFIX gene.
METHODSLentivirus was generated by transient three-plasmid transfection, namely, the VSV-G envelope expression cassette, the delta NRF packaging plasmid and the PTK 164 plasmid. Viral particles were used to infect the target cell, third passage mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and 293T cell respectively at MOI 3: 1. The cFIX activity was detected in cultured cells with one-stage clotting assay.

OBJECTIVETo improve the survival of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for prefabrication of an osteo-musculo-cutaneous flap.
METHODSIn a mouse model, the compound of MSCs and p(3HB-co-3HH) were embeded in the latissimus dorsi muscle as an experimental group and the muscle pocket of the buttock as the control. The examinations of the HE staining, hybridization in situ of osteonectin mRNA and Von kossa staining were used to evaluate the results.
RESULTSThe expression of osteonectin mRNA and the Von kossa staining showed that the latissimus dorsi muscle group was superior to the control in 2 weeks and 4 weeks after the surgery in vivo.
CONCLUSIONThe results indicate that the above-mentioned technique may be a good alternative for the prefabrication of the osteo-musculo-cutaneous flap.

OBJECTIVEBased on proteomics technology, Pi-yang deficiency syndrome (PYDS) correlated differential proteins were screened, thus providing powerful experiment reliance for exploring the essence of PYDS.
METHODSTotally 36 SD rats of SPF grade were randomly divided into the normal control group (n = 16) and the PYDS group (n = 20). The PYDS model rats were induced by improper diet, overstrain, and administration of yang impairing bitter cold herbs. The total proteins of the ileum were separated and extracted from rats in the PYDS group and the normal control group. The differential protein dots were identified using Delyder 2D 6.5 image analysis software by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) technology. The finger print map of corresponding peptide qualities was obtained by applying MALDI TOF/TOF. The differential proteins were identified using Mascot search library.
RESULTSJudged by statistics and fuzzy mathematics, Pi-yang deficiency rat model was successfully established. Eight proteins with differential expressions involving cell skeleton, energy metabolism, and signal transduction, and so on were obtained. Of them, there were 4 up-regulated proteins, i.e., desmin, cytokeratin8 (CK8), pyruvate kinase (PK), and ezrin. Four down-regulated proteins were glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), cytokeratin19 (CK19), cytokeratin1 (CK1), and actin.
CONCLUSIONThe pathogenesis of PYDS might be slowed energy metabolism rate, reduced energy production, changed structure of ileal villin, and weakened absorbing and digestive functions.

BACKGROUNDTo study the difference in gene expression between the EBV associated gastric carcinoma (EBVaGC) tissues. To explore the mechanism of gastric carcinoma pathogenesis initiated by EBV.
METHODSIn situ hybridization was used to study the frequencies of EBV small RNA expression in 155 cases of gastric carcinoma tissues. The expression levels of P53 protein and P21WAF1 protein were detected by immunohistochemistry in all gastric carcinoma tissues.
RESULTSThe expression of EBV small RNA was positive in 10 out of 155 cases (6.45%). The expression of P53 protein was weakly positive in 4 of the 10 cases. The expression level of P53 protein in EBVaGC was much lower than that in EBVnGC and was weakly positive in 30 of 145 cases with EBVnGC). P21WAF1 expression was detected in 7 of 10 cases with EBVaGC, but in 55 out of 145 cases with EBVaGC, P21WAF1 expression in EBVaGC was much higher than that in EBVnGC.
CONCLUSIONThere seems existing a special mechanism of pathogenesis in EBVaGC. In which P53 gene mutation may not play an important role.
