Objective:To investigate the influencing factors of adult dental fluorosis in drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis areas of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.Methods:A case-control study was conducted in January 2024 to select adult fluorosis patients (case group) and healthy individuals (control group) from the drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis areas in Helinger County, Hohhot City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region as the survey subjects. Urine samples were collected to determine urinary fluoride concentration. A questionnaire survey was conducted. SPSS 25.0 software was used for χ 2 test and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) was used to analyze the association between urinary fluoride concentration and the risk of dental fluorosis in adults. Results:A total of 161 individuals were included in the survey, including 100 in the case group and 61 in the control group. The results of univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the distribution of gender, smoking, and urinary fluoride concentration between the case group and the control group (χ 2 = 7.54, 5.02, 9.69, P < 0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that gender ( OR = 0.36, 95% CI: 0.18 - 0.73, P = 0.005) and urinary fluoride concentration ( OR = 3.08, 95% CI: 1.46 - 6.67, P = 0.003) were the influencing factors of adult fluorosis. RCS analysis showed a significant linear dose-response relationship between the risk of dental fluorosis and urinary fluoride concentration ( Poverall trend = 0.001, Pnonlinear = 0.071). When the urinary fluoride concentration was greater than 1.57 mg/L, the risk of dental fluorosis increased with the increase of urinary fluoride concentration. Conclusion:Gender and urinary fluoride concentration are the risk factors of dental fluorosis in adults in drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis areas of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

3. Effect of Helicobacter pylori virulence factor CagA-mediated activation of ERK signaling pathway on proliferation and apoptosis of gastric cancer cells
Journal of Jilin University(Medicine Edition) 2019;45(5):1063-1068
Objective: To explore the effect of Helicobacter pylori virulence factor cytotoxin-associated gene A protein (CagA) on the extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK) signaling pathway, and to elucidate the carcinogenesis mechanism of CagA. Methods: The pcDNA3. 1/CagA eukaryotic expression vector was constructed, and the gastric cancer AGS cells were divided into blank control group (blank vector transfection), CagA transfection group (GZ7/CagA transfection), and CagA + ERKi group (ERK1/2 inhibitor pretreatment + GZ7/CagA transfection). The expression levels of CagA, phosphorylated ERK (p-ERK), total ERK (T-ERK), B-lymphocytoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-related X protein (Bax) and cleaved caspase-3 proteins in the cells in various groups were determined by Western blotting method. The activities of AGS cells in various groups were determined by CCK-8 method, and the apoptotic rates of AGS cells were determined by flow cytometry. Results: Compared with blank control group, the expression levels of CagA, p-ERK, and Bel-2 proteins in CagA transfection group were significantly increased (P<0. 01), and the expression levels of Bax and cleaved caspase-3 proteins were significantly decreased (P<0. 01). Compared with CagA transfection group, the expression levels of p-ERK and Bel-2 proteins in CagA+ERKi group were significantly decreased (P<0. 01), and the expression levels of Bax and cleaved caspase-3 proteins were significantly increased (P<0. 01). Compared with CagA transfection group, the activities of gastric cancer cells in CagA + ERKi group at different time points were significantly decreased (P< 0. 01). Compared with CagA transfection group, the apoptotic rate of gastric cancer cells in CagA + ERKi group was significantly increased (P<0. 05). Conclusion: Helicobacter pylori virulence factor CagA can inhibit the proliferation of gastric cancer cells and promote the apoptosis of gastric cancer cells, and its mechanism may be related to the activation of ERK signaling pathway by CagA.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of bevacizumab combined with docetaxel in treatment of advanced cervix cancer.Methods Seventy-five patients with advanced cervix cancer accepted in our hospital from April 2011 to April 2016 were selected and divided into observation group with 43 cases and control group with 32 cases according to different treatment methods.Patients in control group were given docetaxel,and patients in observation group were combined with bevacizumab on the basis of control group.The clinical efficacy,adverse reactions,life quality and pharmacoeconomics of two groups were observed and compared.Results The total efficacy and clinical control rate of observation group were all higher than control group with statistically significance (P < 0.05).The adverse reaction rate of two groups had no difference.Total efficacy of life quality improvement was 83.72%,which was obviously higher than control group 62.50% with statistically significance (P < 0.05).The average cost of observation group was (83 ± 10) thousands,of control group was (18± 6) thousands.The cost of observation group was obviously higher than control group with statistically significance (P < 0.05).Conclusion Using bevacizumab combined with docetaxel in treatment of advanced cervix cancer has better effect clinical but costs much than docetaxel.We should set on treatment according to patients' own situation.
