<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the roles of ceruloplasmin (Cp) in PI3K/PTEN cell signaling pathway change in human embryonic lung fibroblasts (HELFs) induced by silica.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>HELFs transfected with pGenesil1.1 plasmid and pGenesil1.1 with PTEN shRNA (PT) plasmid were successfully established. 100 µg/ml silica and different concentrations of Cp (10, 20, 30 µg/ml) were used in this experiment and Cp were treated cells after exposed to silica for 1h. Three different cell lines (including HELFs, PT and cells were transfected with p85 dominant negative mutant plasmid (DN-p85)) were divided into control groups, silica groups and silica+different concentrations of Cp groups. MTT assay was used to detect the effects of Cp on silica-induced cell proliferation after inhibiting PTEN and p85. When suppressing the expression of PTEN and p85, western blot assay was performed to detect the levels of p85, p110, AKT308, AKT473 and ERK, JNK and their phosphorylated levels.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>After inhibition of PTEN, the high levels of p85 induced by 100 µg/ml silica with 30 µg/ml Cp were markedly decreased (P<0.05). When suppressing p85, the increased cell proliferation was not observed. And the high levels of AKT308, AKT473, ERK and phosphorylated JNK and ERK stimulated by 100 µg/ml silica with 30 µg/ml Cp were decrease (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Cp could further strengthened silica-induced cell proliferation by PI3K/AKT/MAPK cell signaling pathway, of which the level of p85 was regulated by PTEN.</p>

BACKGROUND: The traditional treatment for skin donor site wound was focus on anti-infection and wound protection, which roof a long time for healing. Studies demonstrated that recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) has accelerated effect or epidermal regeneration. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of rhEGF on wound healing of skin donor site. METHODS: A total of 32 cases needs wound healing by skin grafting were collected, including 18 males and 14 females. The 32 skin graft donor site wounds were randomly divided into control and treatment groups. In the treatment group, the absorbent gauze was sprinkle soaked with rhEGF (15 mL/ramus, 2 000 IU/mL) and covered the donor site, twice per day. In the control group, donor site was covered by physiological saline gauze and wrapped with dressing, twice per day. After 48 hours, semi-exposed therapy was performed. The healing time of wounds, the systemic and local adverse reactions of patients and blood routine examination and renal function detection prior to and after treatment were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The healing time of wound in the rhEGF treatment group was shorter than that in the control group with significant differences (P < 0.01). No Adverse events or side effects were observed in the rhEGF treatment group. rhEGF can shorten wound healing time, reduce scar hyperplasia, and accelerate epithelization at the graft donor.

Objective Several surgical procedures are available for treatment the prominent mandibular angle. But in some patients, only one procedure is not likely to obtain satisfactory results. This study was to evaluate the effect of curved osteotomy combined with sagittal splitting osteotomy of the mandibular angle by an intraoral approach for treatment the broad lower face. Methods 21 patients with broad lower face were treated with mandibular angle osteotomy plus mandibular angle splitting osteotomy under general aesthesia by intraoral approach. Changes of the distance between the mandibular angles were observed during follow up phase. Questionnaires were used to assess the patents level of satisfaction after operation. Results All the wounds healed without complications of bleeding and infection. After 7 months to 12 months follow up, the distance between the mandibular angles was effectively reduced, the deformity of broad lower face were improved markedly, the curve of the mandibular angle was smooth and the shape was natural. Conclusion This method is worthy to be applied widely because of the good result with effective reduction of the width of the lower face, smooth and gentle outline of the face.
