BACKGROUND:Titanium surface micro-nano structure modification is a hot research field in titanium implant surface treatment.The diabetic hyperglycemia environment will affect the stable bonding between titanium implant and bone tissue,so it is necessary to explore the surface micro-nano structure modification to improve the osteogenic activity of titanium implant in high glucose environment.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of gold nanoparticle@mesoporous silica nanoparticles(AuNPs@MSNs)coating on osteogenic activity of osteoblasts under high glucose in vitro.METHODS:Gold nanoparticle suspension and mesoporous silica were prepared respectively,and the two were mixed in deionized water in a certain proportion to prepare gold nanoparticle@mesoporous silica suspension.Titanium sheets were taken and divided into three groups for treatment:the smooth group was treated with water sandpaper;the nanotube group was treated with water sandpaper and then anodized to prepare titanium dioxide nanotube coating,and the experimental group prepared titanium dioxide nanotube coating and then immersed in gold nanoparticle@mesoporous silica suspension to prepare gold nanoparticle@mesoporous silica nanoparticles coating.The microscopic morphology and hydrophilicity of the surface of the three groups of titanium sheets were characterized.Rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were inoculated on the surface of the three groups of titanium sheets.Cell proliferation was detected by cell live/dead fluorescence staining and CCK-8 assay.Cell adhesion was detected by DAPI/phalloidin staining.Rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were inoculated on the surface of the three groups of titanium sheets,and high-glucose osteogenic induction medium was added for culture.Osteogenic differentiation was detected by alkaline phosphatase and Alizarin Red S staining.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Scanning electron microscopy showed that the surface of the titanium sheet in the smooth group was uniform and flat.The titanium dioxide nanotube arrays in the nanotube group were closely arranged on the surface,and the titanium sheet in the experimental group was loaded with gold nanoparticle@mesoporous silica on the surface and inside of the titanium dioxide nanotubes.The hydrophilicity of the titanium sheets in the nanotube group and the experimental group was better than that in the smooth group.(2)The results of cell live/dead fluorescence staining exhibited that the cell viability on the surface of the three groups of titanium sheets was higher than 90%.The results of CCK-8 assay show that the cell proliferation rate in the experimental group was higher than that in the smooth group and the nanotube group.The results of DAPI/phalloidin staining showed that the titanium dioxide nanotube coating and the gold nanoparticle@mesoporous silica nanoparticles coating were more conducive to cell adhesion.(3)The results of alkaline phosphatase and Alizarin Red S staining showed that the alkaline phosphatase activity and extracellular matrix mineralization of the cells on the titanium sheet surface in the experimental group were higher than those in the smooth group and the nanotube group.(4)The results show that the gold nanoparticle@mesoporous silica nanoparticles coating can enhance the biological activity of the titanium surface and promote osteogenic differentiation in a high glucose environment.

Objective To explore the effect of back-pushing manipulation on motor ability and skele-tal muscle mitochondrial function in rats with chronic fatigue syndrome(CFS).Methods Twenty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a blank group of 8 and a modeling group of 16.The CFS rat model was established using forced weight-bearing swimming combined with chronic stress stimulation for 21 days.After successful modeling,the modeling group was further divided into the modeling control(MC)group and the back-pushing manipulation(BPM)group,each of 8.In the back-pushing manipulation group,all rats were given daily 20-minute back pushing for 14 consecu-tive days after modeling.Then,all groups were recorded semi-quantitative scores of general conditions(SQS-GC),body mass,and exhaustion swimming time(EST).Moreover,the grasping ability of limbs was assessed by using the mesh screen test(MST).After the intervention,the tissue of the erector spinae muscle was taken to detect the adenosine triphosphate(ATP)content using the biochemi-cal method,and the activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes Ⅰ to Ⅳ were detected by using the spectrophotometric method.Results After modeling,compared with the blank group,the SQS-GC of the MC group and BPM groups were higher(P<0.01),while EST was shorter and the MST score was lower(P<0.01 or P<0.05).However,after intervention,compared with the MC group,the SQS-GC of the BPM group was lower(P<0.01),while EST and the MST score was higher(P<0.01 or P<0.05).Compared with the blank group,the ATP content of the modelling group was significantly lower(P<0.01),and the activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes I,II,III,and IV de-creased significantly(P<0.01).However,after intervention,all the above values of the BPM group in-creased significantly,compared with the MC group(P<0.01 or P<0.05).Conclusion The back-pushing manipulation can improve the mitochondrial function and energy metabolism,as well as the exercise ca-pacity,and alleviate fatigue of CFS rats,which may be related to the improvement of the activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes I,II,III,and IV,and the increase of ATP content in the skeletal muscles.

BACKGROUND:Vital pulp therapy is one of the main treatments for common oral diseases such as deep caries.The antibacterial properties of pulp-capping materials are crucial to the efficacy of the treatment.Currently,commonly used pulp-capping material has weak antibacterial properties and may induce a certain degree of inflammatory response in the pulp tissue,leading to treatment failure.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the antibacterial effects of nanosilver-reduced graphene oxide/polydopamine/methacrylated gelatin@Gap19(AgNPs-rGO/PDA/GelMA@Gap19)hydrogel material.METHODS:Nanosilver-reduced graphene oxide was prepared.Human dental pulp stem cells were cultured in complete medium containing different mass concentrations of nanosilver-reduced graphene oxide.Cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 assay.The inhibition zone assay was used to detect the inhibitory effect of different mass concentrations of nanosilver-reduced graphene oxide on Staphylococcus aureus.The nanosilver-reduced graphene oxide mass concentration with the most obvious cell proliferation and antibacterial effects was screened by the results of CCK-8 and inhibition zone assays,and loaded into hydrogels.Human dental pulp stem cells were cultured in complete medium containing different concentrations of Gap19(a specific inhibitor of connexin 43 hemichannels),and cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 assay.The Gap19 concentration with the most obvious cell proliferation effect was screened and loaded into hydrogels.AgNPs-rGO/PDA/GelMA@Gap19 hydrogel was prepared,and the physicochemical properties of the hydrogel material were characterized.The suspension of Staphylococcus aureus(or Escherichia coli,Streptococcus mutans,Lactobacillus)was co-cultured with mineral trioxide aggregates,polydopamine/methacrylated gelatin hydrogel,nanosilver-reduced graphene oxide/polydopamine/methacrylated gelatin hydrogel and AgNPs-rGO/PDA/GelMA@Gap19 hydrogel.The bacterial suspension cultured alone was used as the blank control group to detect the antibacterial rate of each group of hydrogels.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The optimal mass concentration of nanosilver-reduced graphene oxide was determined to be 12.5 μg/mL by CCK-8 assay and inhibition zone test results,and the optimal concentration of Gap19 was determined to be 20 μmol/L by CCK-8 assay.(2)Scanning electron microscopy showed that AgNPs-rGO/PDA/GelMA@Gap19 hydrogel was wrinkled and porous,and nanosilver was loaded on the surface and inside of the hydrogel.Energy spectrum analysis results showed that nanosilver-reduced graphene oxide and Gap19 were successfully loaded on the hydrogel.(3)The four hydrogels had obvious inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus,Escherichia coli,Streptococcus mutans,and Lactobacillus,and the antibacterial effects of nanosilver-reduced graphene oxide/polydopamine/methacryloyl gelatin hydrogel and AgNPs-rGO/PDA/GelMA@Gap19 hydrogel were the most significant,indicating that AgNPs-rGO/PDA/GelMA@Gap19 hydrogel,as a new type of pulp capping material,has an obvious antibacterial effect.

Objective To investigate the infectivity of hepatitis A virus(HAV)cell-adapted strain in a type Ⅰ interferon receptor-deficient mouse model.Methods The biological charateristics of HM175/18f were identified,including the viral protein expression and viral proliferation by indirect immunofluorescence,Western blot and real-time quantitative RT-PCR in vitro.Then,type Ⅰ interferon receptor-deficient A129 mice were infected with HM175/18f via intravenous injection.The viral RNA load in serum,feces and liver tissues of infected mice were detected to determine the replication of HAV in vivo.The level of serum alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and HE staining of liver tissues were used to evaluate liver injury.Additionally,the dynamic changes of HAV-specific IgG antibody was detected to assess the humoral immune response induced by HM175/18f.Results A129 mice infected with HM175/18f did not show obvious clinical symptoms,nor was the ALT level significantly elevated.However,viral RNA persisted in the liver tissue of infected mice until 42 days after infection.There was focal infiltration of lymphocytes and neutrophils in the liver tissue of infected mice,but no focal necrosis was observed.More importantly,HM175/18f infection caused significant viremia and sustained fecal virus shedding.In addition,HM175/18f induced a significant HAV-specific humoral immune response in A129 mice.Conclusion Our study has revealed the infectivity of HAV cell-adapted strain HM175/18f in type Ⅰ interferon receptor-deficient mice,and identified the attenuated characteristics of HM175/18f,which not only contributes to our understanding of the pathogenesis of HAV,but also expand the applications of a type Ⅰ interferon receptor-deficient mouse model in the study of hepatitis A.
