Objective@#To compare the long-term dental treatment effects, oral health habits and oral-health-related qualities of life of children treated under general anesthesia (GA) and passive restraint (PR), respectively. @*Methods@#Twenty seven 2 to 4-year-old children treated under GA and thirty four children treated under PR were recruited in the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology. Up to 2 years after the treatment, a follow up assessment was conducted. The data of general information, dental plaque level and the unplanned treatments were recorded and analyzed. The questionnaire of oral health habits and early childhood oral health impact scale (ECOHIS) for each child was also completed and analyzed. The survival rate and median survival time of the deciduous teeth were calculated. Multivariate analysis was performed by using Cox proportional hazard model. @*Results@#Twenty-five children under GA and 32 under PR were finally included, with a total of 1 098 deciduous teeth. The postoperative dental plaque indicesin both GA and PR groups had significantly improved than that of before the treatments (P=0.019, P<0.001). The oral health habits had also improved, and the improvement in PR group was more obvious than that in GA group. Totally 128 teeth (27.0%) appeared unplanned treatments in GA group and 232 teeth (37.2%) in PR group during the follow-ups. The new caries and recurrent caries in PR group were significantly more than that in GA group (P<0.001, P=0.012). No significant differences were found between the two groups in restoration failure, secondary caries and endodontic diseases (P=0.129, P=0.822, P=0.642). However, the time of occurrence of endodontic disease and secondary caries in GA group were significantly longer than that in PR group (P<0.01, P<0.001). The median survival time of teeth in GA group was 1 018 days comparing to 944 days in PR group. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The survival rate was associated with such factors as decayed-missing-filled tooth (dmft), anterior or posterior teeth, feeding frequency, brushing habits and behavior management techniques. @*Conclusions@#The long-term dental treatment effects of children treated under GA was significantly better than that of PR group. Continuous reinforcement of proper dietary and oral hygiene habits might help in maintaining the long-term treatment effect.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the role of aquaporin-1 (AQP1) gene in erythroid differentiation of erythroleukemia K562 cells induced by retinoic acid (RA).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>K562 cells were cultured in the presence of 1 µmol/L RA for varying lengths of time, and γ-globin mRNA expression and hemoglobin content in the cells were detected by real-time PCR (RT-PCR) and ultraviolet spectrophotometry, respectively, to evaluate the erythroid differentiation of K562 cells. RT-PCR and Western blotting were used to examine AQP1 expression in the cells following RA treatment. A retroviral expression vector of AQP1 small interfering RNA (pSUPER-retro-puro-shAQP1) was constructed and transfected into K562 cells to establish a K562 cell line with stable AQP1 down-regulation (K562-shAQP1), in which the changes in γ-globin and hemoglobin expressions after RA treatment were detected.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>RA treatment significantly increased γ-globin and hemoglobin expressions in K562 cells (P<0.01), causing also significantly enhanced AQP1 mRNA and protein expressions over time (P<0.01). Transfection with the recombinant plasmids pSuper-retro-puro-shAQP1 resulted in stable AQP1 suppression in K562 cells (P<0.01), which showed markedly reduced γ-globin and hemoglobin expressions after RA induction as compared to the control K562 cells (P<0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>K562 cells show a significant increase of AQP1 expression after RA-induced erythroid differentiation, and suppression of AQP1 expression can partially block the effect of RA, suggesting the important role of AQP1 in RA-induced erythroid differentiation of K562 cells.</p>

BACKGROUND: Transfection is the most important beginning component of research about gene function. It is a problem to find a transfection agent with high efficiency and safety. Nanosized materials have high surface activity, are easy to be modified and easier to pass the biomembrane. Researchers are studying how to use nanosized materials as a transfection agent.OBJECTIVE: To study the transfection efficiency of different basic polymers with different molecular mass and degree of substitute, and to find the optimized transfection agent.DESIGN: Controlled study.SETTING: Institute of Genetic Engineering, Southern Medical University.METHODS: This study was performed in the Institute of Genetic Engineering, Southern Medical University from March 2006 to June 2007. Using the lipofectamine reagent as the positive control, we transfected siRNA (0.2 nmol/L), FITC-labeling targeting bcl-2, by nine nanometers (polylactic acid-polyglycolic acid, chitosan-poly-caprolactone, polyethyleneimin-macrogol) into leukemic cell K562 cultured without serum. Six hours post-transfection, 20% FBS serum was added. The cell proliferation was measured at 24, 48 and 72 hours by using the MTT method. After transfecting for 48 hours, the cells were collected to detect transfection ratio by using fluorescent microscopy, apoptosis ratio and expression of K562 and bcl-2 protein by flow cytometer (FCM). RESULTS: ① Fluorescence microscope detection showed there were significant differences of transfection efficiency between different materials (P < 0.05). Moreover there were statistical differences between different degrees of substitute, although they were the same material (P < 0.05). ② MTT method indicated the cell proliferation ratio was positively related to transfection ratio. ③ Flow cytometry results showed the suppression of expression of targeting gene and apoptosis ratio were positive correlated with transfection ratio. CONCLUSION:The nanometer poly-ethylene glycol combined with poly-ethylene imine (PEG-PEI), whose molecular mass is 1 800/2 000 and degree of substitute is 29%, has a high efficiency and low toxicity.

BACKGROUND: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by the clonal expansion of hematopoietic stem cells. Without effective treat ment, individuals in the indolent, chronic phase (CP) of CML will undergo blast crisis (BC), the prognosis for which is poor. Therefore, it is important to clarify the mechanism underlying CML from a whole-genome perspec tive. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the gene expression profile of bone marrow mononuclear cells from CML with Applied Biosystems Expression Array System.DESIGN: Observation and controlled analysis.SETTING: Institute of Gene Engineering, Southern Medical University PARTICIPANTS: Samples of two cases of bone marrow (a chronic myeloid leukemia patient and a healthy person).METHODS: This experiment was conducted at the Institute of Gene Engineering, Southern Medical University from October 2004 to September 2005.The total RNAs were extracted and purified from bone marrow mononuclear cells derived from a CML patient and a healthy person. mRNAs were purified using an oligo (dT)-cellulose mRNA purification kits and labeled using reverse transcription, in vitro transcription (RT-IVT), then hybridized with microarray. Gene expression differentiation of the bone marrow mononuclear cells were examined by ABI 1700 Chemiluminescent Microarray Analyzer. Reproducibility of microarray results was assessed by comparing data sets obtained from the same sample and analyzed by two different arrays.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Assessment of quality of total RNA and labled cRNA. ②Reproducibility of microarray. ③ Hybridization of array.④Results of semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction RESULTS: ①Using statistical data analysis tools, we identified 6 706 genes that were up- or down-regulated in CML patient compared with the healthy person. In these genes, we found that 17 genes were up-regulated while 51 genes were down-regulated among 68 genes closely related to CML. ②most differentially expressed genes in C/EBPalpha mediated path way and CD40L signaling pathway had reduced expression. ③Good repro ducibility of microarray was confirmed by analysis of correlation and detection concordance in technical replicates. The correlation coefficient of the detectable probe in technical replicates was 0.991 for the CML patient and 0.988 for the healthy person. ④The results of semi-quantitative RT-PCR experiments supported the reliability of our microarray analysis.CONCLUSION: By comparing expression patterns of CML with those of the healthy person, we identified a large number of genes that, were up- or down-regulated in CML patients. These data should provide useful information for finding candidate genes whose products might serve as molecular targets for treatment of CML patients.

Objective In the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML-M2a), the first CCR (continuous complete remission) has been one of the most critical indicators to the prognosis of the patients. Using microarray approaches, gene expression profiles have been studied in patients with different CCR, in order to find out the genes relevant to the progresses of the AML. Methods Bone marrow mononuclear cells were collected and used as different experimental groups respectively. Group A composed of three AML patients with CCR<6 months, while group B composed of three AML patients with CCR>12 months. mRNAs were purified and labeled with Cy3 and Cy5 respectively, which were used to hybridize against the Agilent human 1B 60mer oligonucleotide microarrays. Results In the 20173 genes tested, 21 genes were found expressed differentially between these two groups. Of these differentially expressed genes, 10 genes were up-regulated while 11 genes were down-regulated in group A. Conclusion Through microarray studies, 21 genes including APP were found to be differentially expressed in AML patients whom were treated with standard chemotherapy. Theses genes can be early indicators for the diagnosis as well as prognosis of the refractory AML.
