Pathological fractures after jaw cyst surgery are rare clinically but are a serious complication. Once a pathological fracture occurs, treatment time and economic costs increase, and doctors face difficulty in handling it. This article reports a case of a patient with mandibular pathological fractures after multiple odontogenic keratocyst surgery of the jaw. Mandibular lesions were located in the bilateral mandibular angles and had macrocystic changes. We adopted a conservative treatment plan, and the treatment effect was good. We also discussed and analyzed relevant literature to provide a reference for clinicians.

AIM:To investigate the therapeutic effect of menstrual blood-derived endometrial stem cells(MenSCs)on chemotherapy-induced intestinal mucositis and flora disorders in mice,and to explore the potential mecha-nism.METHODS:The mice were randomly divided into 3 groups including normal treatment,cisplatin(Cis)treatment and Cis+MenSC treatment,with 10 mice in each group.To induce intestinal mucositis,the mice were treated with Cis(2 mg·kg-1·d-1)by intraperitoneal injection for 5 consecutive days.Control mice for normal group were received equal vol-umes of normal saline.For Cis+MenSC treatment,MenSCs(1×106)was transplanted into the mice of Cis treated mice through tail vein.The performances and weight changes of mice were examined during the experiment.After the treat-ment,the small intestine and colon were isolated for subsequent HE staining,the ratio of F4/80 and IL-6 positive cells in small intestine were detected by immunohistochemical staining,and the expression of tight junction,inflammation and apoptosis related proteins was detected by Western blot.16S rDNA amplicon sequencing was performed to detect the diver-sity and richness of intestinal flora in mice.RESULTS:Compared to the Cis group,the MenSCs-treated mice showed sig-nificantly increased body weight,relieved intestinal lymphocytes infiltration,alleviated intestinal villous edema,and or-derly arranged glands in intestinal tissues.Further analysis indicated that MenSCs transplantation significantly up-regulat-ed the expression of intestinal tight junction related proteins ZO-1 and occludin in Cis-treated mice(P＜0.05).Subse-quently,MenSCs transplantation significantly inhibited the macrophages infiltration in intestinal tissues(P＜0.01),down-regulated the expression of pro-inflammatory factors IL-1 and IL-6 and pro-apoptotic protein Bax(P＜0.01),while up-regu-lated anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 and anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2(P＜0.01).Additionally,further microflora sequenc-ing indicated that MenSCs transplantation prevented mice from Cis-induced intestinal flora disorder,and significantly re-duced the abundance of harmful bacteria such as isenbergiella tayi and Anaerotruncus colihominis(P＜0.01).At the same time,the abundance of beneficial bacteria Lactobacillus apodemi was increased(P＜0.05),thereby restoring the composi-tion and function of healthy intestinal flora.CONCLUSION:MenSCs transplantation alleviates the chemotherapy-in-duced damage of intestinal structure,relieves the symptoms of chemotherapy-induced mucositis and restores the homeosta-sis of intestinal flora in mice.

Objective: To isolate and identify the structures of triterpenoids from the extract of Acanthopanax sessiliflorus fruits. Methods:The chemical constituents were systematically isolated by column chromatography and liquid chromatography, and their struc-tures were determined by spectral data including 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR, HSQC and HMBC combined with ESI-MS. Results:Totally 8 trit-erpenoids compounds were isolated and identified from Acanthopanax sessiliflorus fruits, 22-α-hydroxychiisanogenin (1), chiisanogenin (2), 3-oxo-24-methylenecycloartan (3), mangiferonic acid (4), isomangiferolic acid (5), oleanolic acid (6), betulin (7) and betulin-ic acid (8). Conclusion:Compound 3, 4 and 5 are obtained from Acanthopanax genus for the first time.

Microglia is the principal immune effector cell in brain. It plays some important roles in support, nutrition, protection, and repair in the physiological activities of neuron. Microglia can be quickly activated, which may proliferate after cerebral ischemia, and promote phagocytosis of macrophage. It exerts dual effects by producing neurotoxic molecules and neurotrophic factors. Therefore, to study the relationship between microglia and cerebral ischemia, give full play to its protective functions and reduce its damage will help to improve the therapeutic effects of cerebral ischemic injury.

Objective To study the effects of bone marrow stromal cells derived neural stem cells on apoptosis and the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax after focal cerebral ischemia and reperfusion.Methods The model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and reperfusion was set up by Longa. Thirty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 4 groups: sham-operated group (A), ischemia control group (B), bone marrow stromal cells transplanted group (C) and bone marrow stromal cells derived neural stem cells transplanted group (D). The rats were killed on the day 7 and 14 after transplantation. The brain sections were used for terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP mickend labeling (TUNEL) staining and Bcl-2, Bax immunohistochemical staining.Results The number of apoptotic cells in groups C and D was decreased as compared with that in group B on the day 7 and 14 after transplantation (P
